Just as Wen Yu returned to his room to contemplate and sort out his current strength and hidden cards, the recruitment efforts outside were in full swing!
In fact, the recruitment actions were not only carried out by Wen Yu and the military, but also by many ambitious individuals who recognized the power of the Lone Walkers hidden behind this ranking battle, which had the potential to change the world's structure. Of course, most of these people were just clowns!
Among them, the one who was the most excited was none other than Arcade, who had once been ranked sequence five, but was now ranked sequence fifty-two!
After losing all his extra "lives," Arcade's strength was undoubtedly pitiful. The biggest headache for him now was how to survive the military's pursuit.
Since his strength was severely damaged, he decided to use outside forces to compensate for his loss! And there was no outside force better than a strong organization.
However, to achieve his goal, this strong organization must be led by himself!
Unfortunately, Arcade's grandstanding during the meeting and his conflicts with the military had long become a well-known fact. Not only those ranked higher than him, but even those ranked lower than him were unwilling to take Arcade seriously.
When Arcade walked out of the room of sequence eighty-five with a grim expression, he was met by an Asian man in a black trench coat, whose complexion was somewhat pale.
"What do you want?"
Seeing the Asian man blocking his path, Arcade's brows knitted together, and a bloody aura began to permeate the air!
Currently, the Eternal Sky City was still in "peace mode," but making threats over minor disputes was Arcade's trademark and habit!
Although he had lost all his "lives," Arcade's strength and skills remained intact. With the River of Death skill at his disposal, he did not believe he would fall into despair easily. Naturally, he had no intention of tempering his rage!
On the contrary, the Asian youth opposite him was unperturbed by Arcade's foul temper. He slightly bent his body in a humble manner and spoke fluently in English, "I heard that Lord Arcade is recruiting? I would like to join your team!"
Hearing the Asian youth's words, Arcade reluctantly showed some interest, "Why?"
"Perhaps it's because I strongly resonate with Lord Arcade's philosophy..."
"Hehehe, very good!"
Arcade gently pulled the Asian youth close, pressing their foreheads together as they locked eyes.
Their gazes intertwined like two bolts of electricity, becoming almost tangible, and neither retreated an inch!
Perhaps sensing something in the Asian youth's eyes, Arcade slowly released his grip around the youth's neck, a slight smile creeping onto his lips as he opened his mouth filled with a bloody aura, "But! You must understand, this is not a recycling station! You, a worthless piece who isn't even ranked, have no right to be my subordinate!"
After saying this, Arcade pushed the Asian youth away and turned to walk off without looking back.
Until a calm voice came from behind.
"First, not having a sequence rank doesn’t mean I lack strength; it’s just that for certain reasons, I didn't want to compete."
"Secondly, as I understand it, when the Eternal Sky City descends upon the main plane, you should be facing the pursuit of Earth Community experts. But unfortunately, you don't have the ability to escape their chase... Now your goal is undoubtedly to gather a group of experts in a short time to withstand the impending threats from the military, am I right?"
Upon hearing this, Arcade immediately halted his steps.
The Asian youth chuckled lightly, slowly turning around as he hooked his arm around Arcade's shoulder, as if they were close friends. Then, he leaned in, whispering into Arcade's ear.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated... In Huaxia, we have a saying: the most dangerous place is the safest place. You’ve offended Lin Haifeng, so what better place to be than the chaotic outer district of the Beijing gathering spot?"
