Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 64 - 61: No One Has Ever Refused

The disciple suddenly understood, finally realizing why his master was so concerned about the man in front of him.

Turns out he’s a hidden master, playing the fool to deceive!

Luckily, he was clever enough to probe in advance; otherwise, he would have been fooled into thinking this was just an inexperienced newbie who had just passed the trial zone.

As expected, his master’s keen insight is spot on, leaving nothing to chance!

These musings of the disciple were, of course, unknown to Wen Nan—mind reading couldn’t be used in the game hall, even if it could, Wen Nan wouldn’t waste the only chance on such a young man—but seeing the other lying on the ground, face blushing alternately red and white, not responding for ages, Wen Nan couldn’t help but think this disciple didn’t seem very bright.

Wen Nan extended his hand for quite a while without seeing the other reciprocate, finally stepping closer, intending to grab the other’s arm and pull him up.

Seeing Wen Nan’s movement, the disciple turned pale with fright and instinctively rolled half a circle away, avoiding Wen Nan’s hand. Then, supporting himself with his arm, he got up and hastily explained,

"No, no, no need, no need to trouble you, sir, I can get up myself."

Seeing the other rush to avoid any physical contact, as if Wen Nan were a plague carrier, Wen Nan was perplexed, raising his hand to glance into his palm.

Noticing the golden ensnaring pattern in his palm, Wen Nan turned to Yu Shujun on the side, silently questioning: Was this your doing again?

Yu Shujun shrugged, his eyes saying: It’s not my fault.

While the two exchanged looks, the disciple had already pulled himself together and stood up again, wearing his welcome smile as he walked over to Wen Nan.

"Esteemed sir," he inadvertently changed the address, "you looked so closely at our invitation letter earlier, do you have any suggestions or modifications to the promotional content or other parts? If you have any suggestions or advice, feel free to let me know, I will certainly pass them to the guild management for you."

Wen Nan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, thinking that a newbie like him had no qualifications to criticize the major guild’s promotional pamphlet, what a joke.

"No, no," Wen Nan waved his hand, "I just hadn’t encountered it before, so I wanted to learn a bit."

The disciple laughed along, thinking that the learning spoken of by the master was surely not the same kind of learning he understood.

Following Wen Nan’s words, the disciple asked, "Have you understood everything? If there are any unclear or problematic parts, feel free to tell me, and I’ll do my best to help answer your questions."

These were all just polite formalities, and the disciple thought the master in front would keep waving it off. Then he could move on to the next stage quickly. However, unexpectedly, upon hearing the question, the other person frowned and pondered for a while, then very seriously reopened the invitation letter.

"There’s one part I do have a question about." Wen Nan swiped the screen to the section introducing the guild’s background.

The disciple was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Please feel free to express it."

Wen Nan lifted his hand, pointing to one of the clauses, "Here."

The disciple looked over and saw it was a clause related to the establishment of their office—

[As of the date this invitation letter was drafted, our guild has set up a total of 3,172 offices within 2,088 game halls. All offices are guild-exclusive private domains recognized by the game rules, with the rights to these domains purchased at the Public Center and members entitled to the aforementioned rights within these domains, as well as unlimited use of domain teleportation rights.]

This clause was standard across major guilds, differing only in the number of offices; the rest mirrored other guilds exactly.

What’s wrong with that?

The disciple looked at Wen Nan in confusion.

Wen Nan pointed to the end of the passage and asked, "Do you know where this Public Center is and how to get there?"

Hearing this, the disciple was even more perplexed.

Why would a hidden master ask about this?

But he thought he shouldn’t overthink a master’s thoughts, so he responded with a smile without much hesitation, "Oh, it’s very simple, there’s actually one right here in this game hall—among the storefronts right now, there’s only one black building marked with the characters [Public Operating] without any business scope written, that’s it—you can easily find it if you go out and head to the southeast corner."

Wen Nan seriously took note and thanked him.

The disciple then asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

Wen Nan shook his head, "No more."

The disciple breathed a sigh of relief, "May I ask your esteemed name?"

"Ye Jiu."

"Esteemed Mr. Ye Jiu, if there are no other issues, may I trouble you to come with me to proceed with the follow-up membership process?"

Wen Nan didn’t move his feet, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Sorry, but I don’t accept your invitation."

The disciple’s smile froze, thinking he had misheard, dumbfounded for a few seconds before asking, "What did you say?"

Wen Nan replied clearly, word by word, "I said, I refuse."

"What?!" The disciple’s face turned pale instantly.

In this world, there was only ever the situation of Feng Shui Huan rejecting players from joining; never, had a player refused Feng Shui Huan’s invitation!

Seeing the disciple’s expression, Wen Nan was uncertain, "If your invitation is rejected, there won’t be any penalties, right?"

Only then did the disciple come back to his senses, stammering, "No, none, whether to accept or not is entirely up to the player’s voluntary decision."

Wen Nan nodded, "That’s good."

Seeing that the invitation card handed back was not taken, Wen Nan bent down, placed the thin card on the table, and then stood up. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"My friend, thank you for the hospitality, until we meet again."

With that, Wen Nan turned and walked out.

"Wait, wait a minute!" the disciple called out from behind, "If you are dissatisfied with me or our guild’s terms and conditions, you can feel free to raise any dissatisfaction, and I will do my utmost to fight for it on your behalf."

Wen Nan turned back, giving a polite smile, "No, your terms and conditions are quite good, and your hospitality was impeccable."

"Then you..." The disciple suddenly thought of something, urgently asked, "Was it the other five major guilds who poached you beforehand? Have you already signed an agreement with them?"

"No," Wen Nan shook his head, "I don’t intend to join any of the six major guilds."

The disciple didn’t understand, "Why?"

Wen Nan chuckled, looked earnestly into the disciple’s eyes, and said:

"Instead of choosing a faction to rely on, why not become the faction that others rely on yourself?

"I won’t join you; I want to establish my own guild."
