Han family's young master…

Luo Luo muttered the name. Most online game experts, no matter what game they play, won’t easily change their name. This habit isn’t exclusive to experts; many ordinary players also have this preference.

A famous ID possesses considerable influence, a tremendous intangible asset in online games, especially in organized guild or mercenary团 (tuan – group/team) activities.

Hearing Xiao Yu mention such a powerful mercenary团 (tuan – group/team), Luo Luo began to wonder if it was formed by some online gaming expert. Though the name Han family's young master wasn't a legendary expert ID, it wasn't the first time Luo Luo had seen it. It seemed to be a high-ranking name on the official priest experience leaderboard. As a fellow priest, Luo Luo had naturally noticed it.

Continuing to search for information in the record book, Luo Luo noticed a line of text. In the notes for this Soto quest, there was a final evaluation of the mercenary团 (tuan – group/team) from the player who issued the quest, just one sentence: "Possesses the strongest mage."

The strongest mage…

Currently, the number one mage on the level leaderboard is a guy called Piaoliu (Drifting). However, in Parallel World, a game where the experience required to level up is enormous, relying on a level advantage to gain an edge is highly unrealistic. Equipment and skill proficiency are the factors that truly reflect strength, so the so-called strongest mage may not necessarily be Piaoliu (Drifting) with the highest level.

There wasn't much point in guessing. Luo Luo decided to contact the mercenary团 (tuan – group/team) first. Immediately, she opened her friend list and searched for "Han family's young master." Seeing that he was online, Luo Luo immediately added him as a friend.

"Hello…" Luo Luo sent a message.

It took about half a minute before the other party replied, "Hello."

"Young Master Elite Team?" Luo Luo asked.

"Correct."

"I have something I'd like to ask of you, can we meet to discuss it?" Luo Luo asked.

"Xiao Lei Tavern!"

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Luo Luo closed the chat window with relief. Han family's young master's concise writing style left a good impression; she thought that someone who spoke so simply and directly would definitely not be long-winded in handling matters.

Xiao Lei Tavern was famous. Though Luo Luo hadn't been there, she knew where it was located.

After passing through several streets, she arrived at the back of Xiao Lei Tavern. In this little alley where few people walked, a person was sprawled on the ground.

Luo Luo quickly walked over. A strong smell of alcohol filled the air; the person was snoring, sleeping soundly.

So he was just drunk. Luo Luo frowned, ignored him, detoured around him, and entered Xiao Lei Tavern.

The enthusiastic Xiao Lei immediately greeted her, "Miss, what would you like to order?"

"Oh, I'm looking for someone," Luo Luo said.

"Who are you looking for?" Xiao Lei remained enthusiastic.

"Han family's young master," Luo Luo replied. At the same time, she glanced strangely at the legendary figure Xiao Lei, wondering if he knew all the customers in the bar.

As a result, Xiao Lei pointed with a smile towards a certain private room, "Over there."

"Oh, thank you…" Luo Luo said somewhat absentmindedly, thanking him as she walked towards the private room.

Raising her hand, she lifted the curtain hanging on the door frame. Luo Luo saw the person sitting inside. Han family's young master's celestial appearance surprised everyone who saw him. Luo Luo couldn't help but pause for a moment before asking, "Han family's young master?"

"Luo Hua Wuqing (Falling Flowers Ruthless)?" Han family's young master asked in return.

Luo Luo nodded.

"Sit!" Han family's young master gestured, then shouted towards the door, "Xiao Lei!"

Xiao Lei responded and arrived, "What would you like to order?"

"Clear the table, I want to talk business," Han family's young master said with a smile.

Xiao Lei neatly cleared the empty glasses from the table. Luo Luo only felt it was too magical. Xiao Lei Tavern was indeed well-deserved, with such a realistic service model. Was this waiter wiping the table really the legendary richest man in Parallel World—Xiao Lei?

"Another glass of water," Han family's young master said to Xiao Lei, then asked Luo Luo, "Would you like anything?"

"A glass of water as well!" Luo Luo replied. A tavern with water! This alone was something other taverns didn't have. Luo Luo wanted to see what the water in this tavern was like.

The water was quickly brought over. Han family's young master picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. Luo Luo took a small sip, savoring it carefully.

"Water is just water, nothing special," Han family's young master said with a laugh.

Luo Luo felt a little embarrassed and put down her glass.

"What's the task? Tell me!"

"How many people are in your mercenary团 (tuan – group/team)?" Luo Luo wanted to understand the situation first.

"Six people," Han family's young master replied.

"So few!" Luo Luo was quite surprised.

"Elite team, quality over quantity," Han family's young master said with a smile.

"Just you guys completed the quest for the bandit leader Soto?" Luo Luo asked.

"Uh, it was us…" Han family's young master's pronunciation of "us" was slightly soft, revealing a lack of confidence.

Of course, Luo Luo didn't notice this slight emotion and nodded, saying, "Can you introduce me to them?"

Han family's young master didn't answer, straightening up and leaning back, saying, "Well, why don't you tell me what your task is first? If we're not interested, then I don't see the need to introduce them."

"Oh? What kind of task would interest you?" Luo Luo said.

"Something that sounds impossible to complete," Han family's young master said.

"Then you'll definitely be satisfied with my task," Luo Luo said.

"Tell me about it."

"Help us deal with Zongheng Sihai (The Guild)," Luo Luo slowly said. Actually, at this point, her hope for this mercenary团 (tuan – group/team) was far less than when she came. She really hadn't expected it to be just a small mercenary团 (tuan – group/team) of six people. Even if all six were outstanding in strength, the game itself was just starting, and even the strongest players wouldn't be too far ahead of others. The people of Zongheng Sihai (The Guild) had annihilated the girls of Resurgence Amethyst. Just from being able to achieve instant kills, their strength was extremely formidable. The most awesome players right now were probably no more than that, right?

Who knew that after hearing the name Zongheng Sihai (The Guild), Han family's young master didn't even twitch an eyebrow, but instead asked, "Is that the guild currently known as the strongest in Cloudrise City?"

Luo Luo nodded.

"They won't be for long," Han family's young master said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Because you hired my mercenary团 (tuan – group/team) to deal with them," Han family's young master said.

Luo Luo's eyes widened. This guy in front of her…

"Now I only need to know one thing," Han family's young master said.

Luo Luo was a little puzzled. She felt that there were still many things to discuss. Shouldn't Han family's young master introduce the specific situation of their mercenary团 (tuan – group/team)? At the very least, shouldn't he explain their fees to her?

But Han family's young master's only question was, "What do you need me to do to them?"

Luo Luo was completely stunned. Her initial idea was to first invite the mercenary团 (tuan – group/team) back. If one wasn't enough, she would invite more, and then discuss it with the girls in the guild. She believed July also planned to do the same. But this guy right now, judging from his tone, didn't need any external force at all. Could they solve the strongest guild in Cloudrise City with just the six of them?

Seeing Luo Luo speechless for a moment, Han family's young master suddenly smiled. "Alright, I know what to do."

"You know?" Luo Luo was once again taken aback.

"Luo Hua Wuqing (Falling Flowers Ruthless)… Hehe, your main goal is naturally Bu Xiao (No Smile)," Han family's young master said with a smile.

This Han family's young master wasn't an ordinary player. Luo Luo concluded that he was at least someone who often played online games, which was why he knew the story between Bu Xiao (No Smile) and July Flowing Fire.

"However, just dealing with Bu Xiao (No Smile) is probably not enough. How about all the core members of Zongheng Sihai (The Guild) being whitewashed?" Han family's young master asked.

"…"

"Then it's settled!" Han family's young master said, already preparing to leave.

"Wait," Luo Luo called out.

"What? Is that not enough?" Han family's young master asked.

"I wanted to ask, how do you charge…" Luo Luo said.

"This… Let's talk about it after it's done! I'm not afraid you won't pay," Han family's young master said with a smile.

Luo Luo's mind stirred. Talk about it after it's done. Did that mean if it wasn't done, there was no need to talk? Was this guy just spouting empty words before, and in a couple of days, he would send her a message saying the task couldn't be completed?

"I'll contact you again," Han family's young master said as he left the private room.

But looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be pretending. In any case, their mercenary团 (tuan – group/team) should be very strong. Completing the Soto quest was proof, and it seemed they had no connection with Zongheng Sihai (The Guild). She had to find a way to make sure they helped. Luo Luo stared at the water glass in front of her, pondering, when suddenly a heart-wrenching scream came from outside: "Who ordered all this!!!!"

Luo Luo got up and lifted the curtain, seeing Han family's young master roaring at the counter, holding the bill. Xiao Lei still had the same unchanging smile, calmly answering Han family's young master's question: "That mage you're with."

"That guy!!!" Han family's young master slammed the table hard, as if it were Gu Fei.

Luo Luo quietly walked behind him and glanced at the bill, taking a deep breath.

The most expensive drinks in the game currently, four glasses plus a bottle. About 200 gold coins were needed. This was definitely a huge sum. Even if all the money bags of the players in the tavern were piled up, they might not be able to gather this amount. As expected of the strongest mage, truly extraordinary!

"Now… can we talk about the issue of fees?" Luo Luo suddenly said with a smile.

Han family's young master turned around, glanced at her, and sighed deeply, "Let's talk inside."

"Can you introduce me to this mage?" Luo Luo asked as they walked.

"Don't mention him in front of me!!!" Han family's young master's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"What's his name?" Luo Luo persisted.

"Shameless is his name!" Han family's young master wouldn't say it no matter what.

"Ah-choo!!!" Gu Fei, who was still studying the story between July Flowing Fire and Bu Xiao (No Smile), suddenly sneezed heavily.

"Strange, I've been sneezing a lot lately." Gu Fei rubbed his nose, muttering to himself.
