Chapter 1235: Trusted Confidant

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

“In less than a year, you have become one of the top clubs in China. How did Mr. Lu achieve this?”

The reporter from mainstream media was a professional and didn’t ask about the relationship between Water Fairy and Lu Li like the tabloid reporters would. She also didn’t ask about his family situation.

“I should mention,” Lu Li said slowly, “That Ruling Sword is still far from the top.”

“But you are the champions of the Shadow Cup and the Runners up for the Magic Cup. You are also expected to win in the current professional league. Wouldn’t such a club be at the top?” the reporter questioned.

Lu Li took a closer look at the person interviewing him and began to feel like they probably weren’t

an impostor. Perhaps the mainstream media’s knowledge of the gaming circle was not that deep, because it was only the ordinary players who actually thought Ruling Sword was a top club.

“For a club to be called a top club, there are a number of factors. The results of that club in competitions are only one factor. There are others, like the number of talented players you have...” Lu Li explained patiently.

When the reporter heard this, she knew that she had made a mistake. However, she saw that Lu Li had patiently explained this to her and he wasn’t rude about it at all, which made a good impression on her. She then went on to ask about the hardships faced by Ruling Sword and how they overcame them. After this, she gave Lu Li an opportunity to describe his plans for the coming year.

If they used all the material that she managed to get, it would be full page special report.

It was also quite a positive view on their journey. It would convince the people that Ruling Sword’s growth wasn’t just due to luck, but because of the strategic steps that they had taken.

Lu Li wasn’t that hopeful, because he doubted that an ordinary reporter like this would have such influence. However, if they were actually influential, and their first contact with him was Lu Li trying to escape the interview, then that would be the public eye’s first impression.

There were also a number of other people following Lu Li and asking him questions, but the interview ended when Gale Legion’s plane landed.

Gale Legion had come a long way, and there were many people travelling with them. There were more than 100 people part of the logistics team that travelled with the players. This was much more than Ruling Sword had brought.

Lu Li suddenly realized a very strange issue.

He couldn’t understand why the Gale Legion players looked so fierce, especially since they were about to face Ruling Sword.

Although they were rivals, the match had not yet begun. Did they really have to make it so obvious? It almost seemed like they wanted to fight in real life. Lu Li’s upbringing had made him extra vigilant, and he couldn’t help but feel like something was wrong.

Wendelian was standing behind Torrent and regretted not egging them on just a little bit more. They might have even performed a full martial arts act if she did...

Fortunately, the Gale Legion players still remained sensible. After all, they were all professional players, and would have received a form of psychological training. They wouldn’t have just gone up and fought Lu Li even though they didn’t like him. Even if they wanted to, they would have to find a quiet place first. This was Jiangnan Airport and there were Ruling Sword personnel everywhere helping to maintain order.

Lu Li expressed his welcome towards Gale Legion and accompanied them while they were interviewed.

The reporters that were part of the media outlet didn’t stay to interview Gale Legion. It seemed that they were only here for Ruling Sword, but Lu Li wasn’t sure if Gale Legion’s players noticed.

In fact, news outlets generally didn’t pay much attention to the gaming circle, even though the gaming industry was now so large.

This transition was slowly being made, and in the next few months, the proportion of capital invested in reporting the gaming circle would increase by several dozen times. These news outlets would eventually be forced to pay attention.

The biggest investment in reporting for the past year was for the Gangnam Royals, but the recent results of that guild had been mediocre. They weren’t eye-catching enough to report on.

Then, some experts recognized the next best candidate of their investment. It was a new club that had recently arrived on the scene – Ruling Sword.

When they saw Ruling Sword’s journey and their results, the Jiangnan City’s star news reporter had no problems stopping Lu Li and his team at the airport for an interview. As for Gale Legion, they were a semi-subsidiary of Glory Capital, which made them almost invisible.

After they picked up the Gale Legion players, they brought them back to a welcoming reception. Naturally, it was a lively event and it had to at least appear like it was run smoothly.

“Why don’t you ask Water Fairy to come out?” Wendelian asked with a laugh.

“Oh, I don’t quite understand what you mean,” Lu Li responded vaguely as he turned around.

“I heard that Water Fairy isn’t currently in Jinling City. Don’t you know that?”

Wendelian stared into Lu Li’s eyes, looking for a guilty conscience or for him to dodge the question.

“I know that, but I don’t know where she is. Maybe she just went out for a walk,” Lu Li said calmly. The last time Water Fairy left Jinling City, it was to avoid her pregnant stepmother. Lu Li didn’t really mind wherever she want, so he wasn’t worried.

Wendelian looked away and was puzzled.

Lu Li seemed to be telling the truth. Could it really be true that he didn’t know where Water Fairy was? Or perhaps... he was a very good liar.

Later, she considered that if Water Fairy and Lu Li really were together, would they join forces? Ruling Sword, Drizzle Court and Peerless City would form a three-club superpower.

What was even more worrying was that it would mutually advantageous for all of them.

The flaw in Peerless City was that they were subordinate to another guild that was led by a woman, and many players refused to join for that reason.

Drizzle Court’s issue was that Water Fairy didn’t strongly possess any of the categories of a strong leader. She wasn’t particularly ruthless nor was she shameless. This naturally meant that there were a number of strategies that she couldn’t employ.

Ruling Sword was lacking in resources, talented players and money...

If Lu Li became the leader of this three-club superpower, Peerless City’s issue would be resolved. They would be led by an unrivalled expert who could kill Sorrowless. No one would be dissatisfied by the fact that Peerless City was subordinate to another guild, and there were no other obvious issues.

Drizzle Court would benefit as well, because Lu Li was a particularly ruthless player. None of the major guilds that knew Lu Li thought of him as a pure or innocent player.

As for the needs of Ruling Sword, although the infrastructure of Drizzle Court and Peerless City wasn’t that established, it was definitely enough for Ruling Sword the time being. Water Fairy definitely had money; she was the first female tycoon in the game after all!
