42: Meeting the Guild Leader in Person
"Why does your voice sound so weak? Is falling down the stairs really that serious?" Leticia wore her cat-ear headphones, operating her character while chatting with the Guild Leader.
Today was Saturday. After finishing the events from a few days ago, Bai Ling hadn't come looking for Leticia, which made the Demon King feel quite comfortable.
Not having to worry about opening her eyes and seeing a white-haired pervert appearing in her room felt amazing.
In her good mood, Leticia had also thoroughly studied the book Bai Ling had stored with her, and she concluded that this thing indeed had no use.
She really didn't know why Qila was so obsessed with this book. Perhaps only by asking her personally could she know what she was thinking.
"If you had to lie in bed for several days, unable to play on your phone or computer, and still had to listen to your parents' nagging, you'd be this weak too." The Guild Leader's voice carried deep fatigue. She was indeed quite tired.
"Wow, how tragic. Did you hurt your hand?"
"My hand is fine, but I broke a leg. Thank goodness the doctors at the hospital are skilled, or I might have had to lie in bed for several months." The Guild Leader sighed. "How has the guild been these past few days?"
"Good, very good. What could happen?" Leticia, who had been staying on the guild's periphery, answered with full vigor.
Although she didn't participate in guild management and only led this group in guild wars, this didn't prevent her from reporting to the Guild Leader that everything was fine.
After all, their guild might not be good at other things, but the atmosphere was first-rate. Everyone was very kind, and there wouldn't be the situation of players scheming against each other like in some large guilds.
Even though the Guild Leader hadn't been online for several days, the guild was still the same as when the Guild Leader was there, filled with a pleasant atmosphere.
In other words, whether the Guild Leader was there or not made no difference.
"I still have some things to do recently, so I'm afraid I can't fulfill what I promised you before, Little Qian." The Guild Leader said with some regret. "Is our diamond rank still there?"
"Still there, guaranteed not to drop." Leticia nodded.
How could it not be there? At the crucial moment when they were about to drop ranks, she had made a timely decision—this round of guild wars would end here.
As long as they didn't fight, they wouldn't lose points, so their diamond rank was preserved.
"You're not planning to continue fighting, are you?" How could the Guild Leader not know Leticia's little schemes? But she had no intention of objecting. "Forget it, everyone's tired enough this season. Let's just rest for the remaining two weeks."
Not fighting was better than fighting and ultimately dropping ranks. At least now, she could still boast that her guild was a diamond guild. Although the score was a bit low, it was still diamond, right?
"A wise decision." Leticia immediately started flattering the Guild Leader. "Guild Leader, which hospital are you in? Should I come visit you?"
Leticia only knew that the Guild Leader, like herself, lived in Central City, but she wasn't quite clear about the specific location.
As for meeting the Guild Leader in person, she had been considering this for some time. After extremely complex psychological struggles, she had finally decided to meet one of her financial sponsors face-to-face to deepen their understanding.
The Guild Leader had spent several thousand on Leticia's games. Just for that, Leticia had to properly thank the Guild Leader.
"Eh, why bring this up suddenly?" The Guild Leader felt a bit surprised by Leticia's request. It wasn't that she didn't want to meet Leticia—quite the opposite, when they first met, she had suggested meeting offline.
However, at that time, Leticia had refused.
The reason was that she didn't really like going out. The Guild Leader automatically interpreted this reason as Leticia not trusting her yet.
After all, meeting internet friends was indeed somewhat dangerous.
"How long have Guild Leader and I known each other?" Leticia didn't directly answer the Guild Leader's question.
"Mm, it's been several years."
"Having been friends for so long, of course we should meet in person. But let me say first, I'm not good-looking."
"Stop being modest. Qianqian, you're definitely a great beauty... Well, why not today rather than another day? I can be discharged on Tuesday, so how about we meet at the west entrance of the commercial street on Wednesday? How's that?" The Guild Leader's mood improved considerably. "Oh right, call Little Bai too. I'll also bring a friend over."
Hearing the Guild Leader mention Bai Ling, Leticia snorted lightly. "Her? Why call her?"
"Little Bai is also our friend. Since we're friends, let's have a gathering." The Guild Leader said cheerfully. "More people make it livelier—lively is good."
"She has a terrible temper, always putting on a sour face. If you have her come over, the atmosphere won't be livelier but more awkward." Leticia warned.
Regarding this, the Guild Leader expressed her disbelief.
"No way, no way. I've chatted with Little Bai, and my first impression was that she's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. I believe her temper definitely won't be bad."
"Qianqian, tell me honestly—do you and Little Bai have something going on? Why else wouldn't you bring her out for me to see? Are you afraid I'll steal your Little Bai away?"
"Guild Leader, I feel like you and Little Ya might have a common language." Leticia was helpless. What was all this about?
"Hehe, just tell me if it's true or not."
"Of course not!"
