BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117 - Idiots In The Sand
Chi was looking at the new property that was quite large but only a small shack, if you can even call it that. "Looks like I will need to hire some workers… We have plenty of land but just a shack to call home."
It was just a small wooden shack with enough room to fit about 20 people in it if they all stood up. But the land was big enough to house a big mansion that could easily fit 200 people or more. Luckily the game allowed players to hire NPCs to do things for them. This meant that Chi could hire a bunch of workers to build a new house and really make their guild home look amazing. "Besides workers for construction, we will need landscapers and also guards… I should probably mess..."
[The Mercenary Guild has just placed a new bounty out on player: Ryu. All mercenaries take up arms and help fulfill this bounty! 100 gold for each kill! Up to 1000 kills! Get your kill in to secure that 100 gold before it is too late.]
"..."
"Who the fuck put a bounty out on my Ryu!? Are they asking for death!?" Chi yelled out in anger. She quickly sent Ryu a message. "Are you okay?"
Chi waited for Ryu\'s reply as the seconds turned to minutes. "Why is he not answering!?" Just as Chi was about to rush out and search for Ryu when Ryu finally sent her a message. "Ryu!"
"Ahaha! Sorry I was busy digging a hole." Ryu finally answered back.
"A hole why?" Chi asked. She didn\'t understand why Ryu needed to dig a hole.
"I am making an art display outside of Roland Village. I call it: Idiots in the Sand! It will be a lovely display of heads sticking out of the sand."
"Pfft! Hahaha! Ryu!" Chi couldn\'t hold back her laughter. Now that she was thinking straight, anyone who tried to fight Ryu right now would indeed be an idiot! Not only were she and Ryu the highest level players in the game, they were cultivators as well, and Ryu also had extremely good armor on. But a thought came to mind: "Ryu, how are you going to log out? Your character is stuck in the game while there is a bounty on you. So even if you log out, your body is still killable."
"Oh, no worry, it is actually a good thing we got a guild property since no one can kill me there as of yet. Plus, even if we didn\'t, I could always just run to a far off city someplace and rent a room at an inn. Anyway, I need to post my location on forums. I need more heads. I want a thousand heads sticking out of the ground." Ryu said enthusiastically.
Chi didn\'t know whether she should laugh or cry. Why was her girlfriend so sadistic towards others? She realized that Ryu really liked to get revenge in the worst ways possible. "Alright then, I\'ll handle things here with the property. I need to hire workers to build us a guild house and some other works as well as guards."
"Okay! Make sure the guards are all in the fortification realm. That is the best we can probably do for this area." Ryu figured there were probably no NPCs over the fortification realm for hire as guards in such a small village like Roland.
"Okay, will do. Have fun!" Chi ended her chat with Ryu and looked at the surroundings, and began picturing a guild home in her mind.
On Ryu\'s side, He was carefully putting monster shit right in front of the few heads that were sticking out of the ground. "Ryu, you fucking bastard! Just you wait, I will fucking kill you! Ah, shit, that stinks!"
"ClamToast, please don\'t be so vulgar. You might hurt my virgin ears." Ryu said with a chuckle as he opened up his menu and went to the forums.
@Ryu: For all you who want to come kill me, my Location is 2343,3495 Just outside Roland Village. Oh, by the way, I will use this chance to see if anyone wants to join my guild, Serenity. If anyone is able to shed 1 point of my health, I will let you join.
@ButterMyNuts: Haha! Look, you bastard, it looks like you pissed off the wrong person! I bet you will quit the game after this!
@AzuritePaladin: Why do I feel like this calm reaction from Ryu makes things seem a little strange? I think I will sit this one out…
@FreeLoader: Yeah, Ryu seems a bit too calm for someone who had such a huge bounty put on his head. Ryu, I don\'t want to take part in the bounty, but I do have an interest in your guild.
@FatPanda: Yes, I second that. I want to join a guild as well.
@Ryu: Oh? I guess once our guild house is completed, we will hold a recruitment drive.
@FreeLoader: Damn, you already have a property!? Are you just trying to take all the game\'s first?
@Ryu: It just seems to work out like that. Anyway, make sure you come down and see my art display!
@AzuritePaladin: Art display?
@FreeLoader: Art display?
@ButterMyNuts: Listen to this bastard. I bet he is hiding in a tree somewhere. What art display!? I bet you are just trying to change the subject so you won\'t get killed!
@Ryu: ButterMyNuts, please come to the gates of Roland Village. I would love to chat with you and have some tea. Maybe bury you in the ground so you can be part of my art display.
@AzuritePaladin: Out of curiosity, does this "art display" have a name?
@Ryu: Mmm! It is called: Idiots in the Sand!
@FatPanda: Errmmm Ryu, why are there piles of shit in front of the heads sticking out of the ground?
@Ryu: Oh, it came out of those heads who had nothing but shit coming out of their mouths.
As Ryu was chatting, many people showed up at the entrance of Roland Village. FatPanda was one of them and what he saw were 20 plus heads sticking out of the ground, some with piles of shit sitting right in front of their faces. He realized whoever put this bounty out on Ryu was only asking for the whole player base to become his cannon fodder.
AN: Sorry for the short chapter today, But I am currently working on Privileged chapters for his novel as the new month is here, and I can add more tiers.
