Chapter 87: Chapter 87: I Am the City Lord’s Father

“Please enter the name of the Mercenary Corps.”

Staring at the blank space that popped up, Lin Yi was momentarily stunned:

What should it be called?

He only thought about establishing a Mercenary Corps and hadn’t considered what to name it.

Suddenly, Lin Yi said:

“Creation.”

He chose this name because there was a large calendar hanging on the wall of the Mercenary Guild:

Creation Calendar Year 5513.

It’s been exactly 500 years since the Demon Race retreated to the Abyss and the victory of the anti-demon war.

“Congratulations, the name is not duplicated. Would you like to confirm the creation of the [Creation] Mercenary Corps?”

[Confirm][Cancel]

Of course, Lin Yi chose: [Confirm]

After paying 100 gold coins, Lin Yi’s own Mercenary Corps was established.

In “Glory of the Gods,” there are two types of factions.

One is the well-known guild.

The other is: Mercenary Corps.

Players in the game can only choose between these two factions, joining one and can’t join both a guild and a Mercenary Corps simultaneously.

The difference between a guild and a Mercenary Corps is that the number of members a guild can accommodate increases as the guild’s level goes up.

Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of members a guild can accommodate, as long as you have the ability to level up the guild and its headquarters.

When the headquarters reach level ten, it becomes a major city like Cyan Dragon City, and the guild president will become the city lord.

However, the maximum number of members a Mercenary Corps can accommodate is 100 people, and this number does not increase as your Mercenary Corps level goes up.

One apparent advantage of a Mercenary Corps over a guild is that mercenary members can choose suitable missions from the Mercenary Guild and earn various rewards by completing them.

Also, many players who join Mercenary Corps are those who are used to freedom and dislike being confined by the various rules of a guild.

Many are also attracted by the mercenary task rewards; after all, in a previous life, it was not uncommon for people to earn rewards and profits by completing mercenary tasks.

“Creation? Nice name!”

When Lin Yi finished creating the Mercenary Corps, a voice suddenly startled him.

Lin Yi turned his head, looking somewhat disbelieving,

“City Lord? How are you here? And like this…”

Looking at the ordinary dressed Babylon before him, if Lin Yi hadn’t met and was somewhat familiar with him, he might not have recognized him at first glance.

After all, Lin Yi didn’t know how he managed to hide the name display above his head, as nothing related could be seen.

“Surprised?”

What surprised Lin Yi even more was:

“Babylon requests to join the [Creation] Mercenary Corps, please choose:

[Agree][Reject]”

(Please later put a “?” above Lin Yi’s head at this moment)

“How can you join the Mercenary Corps!”

Lin Yi looked at him in shock, totally confused and dazed.

As the city lord of Cyan Dragon City, Babylon couldn’t possibly be unaware that Lin Yi was just a player from Earth.

In Lin Yi’s mind, whether it was a guild or Mercenary Corps, these were AR game creations, meant for player participation alone.

But how could Babylon, as a native of this world, participate in a player-only game system?

Publishing world missions could still be seen as normal, but joining a Mercenary Corps seems a bit over the top, right?

At that moment, Babylon said something that left Lin Yi dumbfounded.

“Mercenary Corps already exist in the Rafam Continent, so why can’t I join one?”

Babylon further explained,

“But according to the rules set by the Father God, I can only have my name registered with you.”

Even just registering is quite astounding, isn’t it?

Lin Yi clicked accept.

Then, in the Mercenary Corps interface, there was an additional name.

[Creation Mercenary Corps] F-Class

Feng Hua

Babylon

Lin Yi widened his eyes at the name, amazed that it was actually possible!

Lin Yi then asked another question:

“Can you join a guild?”

Although he didn’t explicitly mention “you natives,” based on Lin Yi’s understanding of him, he surely knew what Lin Yi meant.

As expected, Babylon shook his head and said:

“No, we can’t.”

Before Lin Yi could ask more, Babylon patted Lin Yi’s shoulder and said:

“Keep it up, I’ll be going now.”

“Leaving already?”

Lin Yi was puzzled, voicing the biggest question in his heart,

“Why are you here?”

If Babylon’s appearance was just a coincidence, then it’s quite a coincidence.

He just happened to be in disguise at the same time Lin Yi was creating his Mercenary Corps?

Or did he somehow calculate that Lin Yi would come here to create a Mercenary Corps?

But that doesn’t make sense!

Even Lin Yi didn’t know he would establish a Mercenary Corps at that time.

As Lin Yi pondered, Babylon, laughing heartily, left the Mercenary Corps, leaving Lin Yi with endless imagination.

A demonized gray bear fell heavily, as Tian Ci landed beside it, picking up the dropped equipment from the demonized gray bear,

“Whoa, it actually dropped a rare pair of pants. Didn’t expect Brother Bear to be so generous!”

Seeing there’s only 11% left to level up to 19, Tian Ci turned his gaze to another lone demonized gray bear:

“You’re next!”

As Tian Ci was about to enter stealth, a prompt suddenly popped up:

“Player Feng Hua invites you to join the [Creation] Mercenary Corps, please choose:

[Agree][Reject]”

“Feng bro is here?”

Tian Ci’s eyes lit up, choosing to agree.

System: Congratulations on joining the [Creation] Mercenary Corps.

Tian Ci eagerly opened the Mercenary Corps interface, seeing only Feng Hua and another name inside,

“Babylon?”

Who would pick such a cheesy name?

Tian Ci (Mercenary Corps member): “Feng bro, who is this Babylon? You never mentioned him before!”

Feng Hua (Mercenary Corps leader): “He’s the city lord of Cyan Dragon City.”

Cyan Dragon City lord?

Tian Ci was shocked, then amused.

Tian Ci (Mercenary Corps member): “Feng bro, when did you start cracking jokes? If he’s the Cyan Dragon City lord, then I must be his father!”

Just as Lin Yi was about to pull Red Eyes into the Mercenary Corps, he was taken aback by Tian Ci’s words.

At that moment, the world channel suddenly lit up with a red announcement.

Seeing this information, Tian Ci was so startled he shivered, despairing:

“It’s over.”

Babylon (Cyan Dragon City lord): “Recently, multiple households in Cyan Dragon City have been burglarized. After investigation, it was player ‘Tian Ci’ who did it. Therefore, this city lord issues a wanted order: Anyone who captures him and brings him to the city lord’s mansion will be rewarded with Gold Coins x200, Brown Horse Card x1; Time limit 60:00.”

Seeing this system prompt, Lin Yi helplessly covered his face, realizing that some actions have repercussions.

When Lin Yi sent an invitation to Red Eyes, he suddenly received a message from a stranger:

“Hello boss, I am Fang Zhengrong.”
