Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1586: Esports Tournament Part 13

Carmen was astonished to learn that his scalping method was to be used for the greater good.

She had long known that he was an orphan, but she never really pried any further than that. She could sense that he was always unhappy when he brought up the events during his orphanage period.

"Do you need my help in setting it up?" She asked softly.

"Hmm?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow. It was rare for her to request to take charge.

"You know how to set one up?"

"Mhmm. My previous work was marketing a charity foundation to gather donations to fund schools."

She explained and quickly clarified, "Oh, I made sure to oversee everything, so the funds they received really went to building schools. Those schools still exist and are quite popular for low-income households."

"Haha, you don’t have to stress that." He smiled and gave her a light peck on the cheek. He realized her sensitivity seemed to be greater than he had thought.

Although he didn’t show any discomfort or disdain, she was able to discern them emotionally.

Was this what they called an emotional connection?

"If you want to, then you can be in charge. I’d be reassured if it’s you."

"Okay, I’ll set up the Vanguard Foundation and verify the orphanages who deserve the funds."

As the two made up their minds rather quickly on a budget that would have six-figure figures, the players were losing their minds.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Numerous streaks of light flickered at the Teleport Platform in Haven Wind City.

"My goodness! This is the city? I can feel my body lighten by a large margin!"

"Damn, I’m so envious of Vanguard members. They got to enjoy this for weeks!!"

"No wonder the Super Guilds were dissatisfied and wanted to eliminate Vanguard. Who doesn’t want to own such a city for themselves?"

Despite the excitement, no players had dared to step out of line and remained in a single file.

The moment they arrived at the city through the slot item, they were greeted with a prompt.

The prompt was basically an introduction to the city and a list of rules they must adhere to during their time in the city.

If any of the rules were broken, they could either be detained in the city prison or exiled from the city. The punishment was dependent on the severity of the crime committed and the damage done to the city as a whole.

No players had any intention of breaking the rules, so they made sure to spend their time carefully reading them. Otherwise, there was no pill for regret if they really got exiled from the city.

Some who were fast readers or seriously didn’t bother to read the rules because they knew they wouldn’t break them were greeted with a point system exclusively in Haven Wind City.

"What are these contribution points?" A player was startled by the feature. As they read further, their comprehension regarding the points became clear.

"Damn, so player-owned cities could set up their own contribution points. This is just like the NPC cities."

The benefits of the contribution points were vast. The higher they gained, the more privilege and freedom they could get.

But what really caught one’s attention was the negative contribution points.

Everyone started with 100 as a base, which placed them as neutral. They had exactly 100 safety points, in a sense, because once their point reached a negative value, they would be highlighted within the city.

The NPC guards responsible for patrol would approach you and demand a guarantee, usually in the form of coins, that you wouldn’t break the rules during their sensitive time.

"Everyone, welcome to Haven Wind City! I am Lightning Blade, here to explain the rules to those who don’t like to read." Lightning Blade held the hilt of his sword and announced.

His face was stern and cold. It was a stark contrast to his usual friendly demeanor and easygoing behavior.

He represented the Vanguard Guild as of this moment. A necessary prestige must be established to prevent anyone from trying to cause a disturbance.

Sure enough, the newcomers were frightened by the aura that Lightning Blade exuded. Memories of him clashing with Serene Paragon were still vivid in everyone’s mind.

The clash was intense, and it gave many swordsman players insight into how to utilize their skills in actual combat.

’Sigh, how did I end up doing this task?’ While the crowd was impressed by his presence, Lightning Blade was crying internally.

Previously, in the guild war, he had made a bet with the other Team Leaders.

Whoever got the fewest kills would be in charge of overseeing the city’s opening.

Originally, Lightning Blade was way ahead of everyone as his sword sliced and cut through enemies like tofu.

However, the appearance of Serene Paragon changed everything. He was forced to confront her and expend most of his stamina.

Those despicable Team Leaders took advantage of his plight and stacked up their kill count.

It was truly infuriating that he lost because of this. But a bet was a bet, and Lightning Blade was a man of his word.

"Hmm, wait a second!" At this moment, Lightning Blade’s eyes narrowed and halted the crowd.

"The person with the shield covering his face! That’s right! You over there!"

He called out in a threatening manner.

In the blink of an eye, the crowd hurriedly scurried away from the person that Lightning Blade called out.

"Y-Yes?" The person who got called out asked nervously.

Why was he singled out?

"I’ve seen you before." Lightning Blade snorted coldly and unsheathed his sword. He then raised the sword toward him.

"You’re part of the guild that supplies resources to Razor Nightmare. Bombering Guild, was it? Hadn’t you heard that anyone affiliated with Razor Nightmare is barred from entering our city?"

The Bombering Guild was considered a second-rate guild. They were in charge of transportation on specific routes to deliver resources to Razor Nightmare’s branch stores.

"T-This—" The person who belonged to the Bombering Guild was in disbelief.

How did he get identified?
