Chapter 107 Chapter 106-The World-renowned "Galewind"（1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!）
Emma groggily woke up from her slumber.
The soreness in her lower body had finally subsided, with only a faint trace of discomfort remaining.
She turned her head towards the window to find that it was already sunset - she had been sleeping for the entire day.
Her face turned slightly pink.
Remembering the outrageous acts she'd performed in broad daylight that morning made her want to bury herself in her bed, hoping never to rise again.
Through the slit of her bedroom door, she could clearly hear John humming a song.
That man was overly vigorous.
Despite having been the one who exerted the most this morning, he had actually woken up before her.
A look of worry crossed Emma's face.
What was she to do?
She felt as if she couldn't hold off Johnny's advances all by herself...
John, hearing the faint noises from the bedroom, laughed softly and pushed the door open.
"Stop lazing around once you're awake, hurry up and get up for dinner," he said.
Emma bundled herself up in her blanket, leaving only her sparkly big eyes visible.
Her gaze towards John was a mix of reluctance and invitation.
John stroked his chin and joked, "What's this? Did this morning not tire you out? Feeling all frisky again after a nap?"
His words scared Emma, making her scurry out of the blankets.
The dinner wasn't lavish, just some homestyle dishes, but the two enjoyed their meal warmly.
"Johnny, when did you learn to cook?" Emma tried a bite and was surprised to find it rather good. "I remember you always ordered takeout before. I mean, that's how I met you, delivering your orders."
John shrugged, casually saying, "I've always known how to cook, it was just too much hassle when I was alone, so I avoided it."
The day's physical activities had left both of them famished, and the food on the table was quickly consumed.
After a short rest, they switched on the game chamber.
Before entering the game, John reminded, "Once you get in, meet up with me as soon as you can. I'm taking you to do a class change quest."
"Class change quest?" Emma looked at John with a puzzled expression.
She was currently the special class "Pyromancer".
This rare special class, which excelled in fire magic, was already quite good.
Emma hadn't received her own class change quest, so she was puzzled about why John would suddenly bring this up.
But of course, she would listen unconditionally to John's words.
So, Emma nodded, "Okay, once I get in, I'll say hi to White Feather and cancel today's fishing event."
At this, John was filled with disbelief.
What happened to this nice girl, how did she turn into a little fishing enthusiast?
Emma's class development, was it veering off too much...?
The door to the game chamber closed.
[Establishing mental link...]
[Map loading...]
[Welcome back to the continent of Godslayer, esteemed Galewind.]
The system notification echoed in his mind.
The scene before John changed, appearing on the road in front of Silver Manor.
The last time he logged off, he was here.
The default logging in location in Godslayer was the last logout spot.
As soon as he logged in, John's communication channel began to flash.
Blue Sea: Brother, finally, you're online. Adam is almost going crazy over there.
John: Wasn't it agreed that we would set off at this time? I even logged in half an hour earlier.
Blue Sea: Adam wants to discuss the class composition for this exploration with you. After all, it's a high-level secret realm like Sunset Mountain, he wants to be as prepared as possible.
John raised an eyebrow: What's there to prepare for exploring Sunset Mountain? Why not just bulldoze our way through?
Blue Sea: ....
[Blue Sea has sent you a group invite]
After John accepted the request, a team message box appeared in the communication channel.
Adam: Brother Galewind, finally you're online. What do you think should be the class composition for our Sunset Mountain exploration?
John: Just follow the Elite Squad's class composition. Two front-line tanks, two mages for long-range magic output, two archers for physical output, two priests or paladins for healing, if possible, arrange for two high-level rogues or assassins for scouting, that should do it.
John pondered for a moment, then added, "Also, it would be best if our mages and archers were of the water or earth element since most monsters in Sunset Mountain are fire type. Water and earth can counter that."
Adam sounded a bit concerned as he asked, "So, counting up, that's only a dozen people. Isn't that a bit too few?"
John replied, "Honestly, the fewer people in these exploration-type quests, the better. If it weren't for you, I'd just take you and Blue Sea alone."
Adam: ...
Blue Sea: I told you, having Galewind alone is enough, the rest of us are just there for show.
After a moment of silence, Adam spoke up in the team channel: "Well, in that case, let's follow Galewind's suggested party composition. We'll meet at the city gate in half an hour."
...
John then opened a private chat with Emma.
He sent her his location and told her they would meet in half an hour.
Emma's response was quick: "Got it, Johnny. Just let me cast my last fishing."
John: ...
Well, now he was speechless.
Half an hour later, at the north entrance of Silverglow.
When John arrived, the elite squad, composed of Adam and the elite members of the Genesis Guild, had already gathered.
Blue Sea was also there.
His guild name "Blue Sea Guild" seemed out of place among the group.
John strolled over, lightly joking, "Don't you know how to hide your guild name? With the words 'Blue Sea Guild' floating over your head, anyone who doesn't know any better would think your two guilds have merged."
Blue Sea chuckled as he greeted him, "No need to hide. I'm just temporarily teaming up with them. Besides, our two guilds are currently in a partnership, there's no major conflict."
John made a face, offhandedly saying, "You have no idea how much pressure your two guilds' close relationship puts on the other guilds."
In reality, the world's top ten guilds had never been too close to each other.
Their powers were basically on par with each other, leading to inevitable competition and friction when exploring the game.
This resulted in the top guilds not being particularly harmonious.
But everything seemed to change when Godslayer took the world by storm.
Top-tier guilds like Blue Sea and Genesis began to cooperate.
It wasn't just them.
Black Rose and Silent Ones, another two top guilds, now also have a relationship as close as family.
The same goes for Shadowrealm and Dawn, two notorious guilds...
This caused many veteran players to sigh deeply.
It seems the times have really changed.
While John was joking with Blue Sea, Adam joined them. "Brother Galewind, what are you guys chatting about? Why does this guy look so smug?"
Blue Sea rolled his eyes, grumpily saying, "Galewind says it's like I've joined Genesis Guild."
Adam chuckled, calmly saying, "If the leader of Blue Sea Guild is indeed thinking along those lines, Genesis Guild would certainly roll out the red carpet."
Blue Sea laughed heartily, "Dream on. It's more likely that you and your Genesis Guild would merge into my Blue Sea Guild."
John shook his head, a bit exasperated.
These two guys were both so proud and stubborn, always squaring off when the topic came up.
John checked the time, then asked softly, "Are we ready?"
Adam nodded, "Everyone on my side is here, just as you requested – not one more, not one less. But I still have some concerns. Sunset Mountain is a battlefield from ancient legends, a place where gods battled. Isn't it too risky for just us few?"
John answered nonchalantly, "That place hasn't been opened to the public yet. To get there, you need to cross the entire northern grassland, an undeveloped high-level area. It's pointless to bring more people."
"The fewer people, the more convenient it is to move around."
Hearing this, Adam furrowed his brows.
From John's tone, it sounded like Sunset Mountain was a highly dangerous area.
Could they really find the lost Lv4 Guild Establishment Order in Twin Volcano this time?
At that moment, Blue Sea clapped Adam on the shoulder, exuding confidence, "Don't worry. With Brother Galewind here, we've got nothing to fear."
Adam nodded gravely.
Although Blue Sea seemed fully confident, his inner worries remained.
The three of them stood at the city gate, making casual conversation, with over ten high-level players standing behind them.
Besides John, everyone's gear was top-notch, emitting the faint glow of high-quality equipment.
This sight drew the attention of many players leaving the city.
"Holy moly, isn't that 'Seraph' from Genesis Guild? I heard he's now the captain of Genesis Guild's Knight Team. What's he doing here?"
"Hush, keep it down. See the mage next to Seraph? That's the captain of Genesis Guild's Mage Team. Seems like Genesis Guild is planning something big."
"Wow, what a beautiful lady! She looks so cold and aloof!"
"Are you courting death? That woman is the strongest assassin in Genesis Guild. Even among all the assassin players, she ranks in the top five. A real rose with thorns that might just kill you."
"She's that strong? What's her name?"
"I think it's -- Jeanne!"
...
Seeing so many top players from Genesis Guild gathered together piqued the interest of the passers-by.
They began to cluster, whispering among themselves.
