I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

Li Wu's words plunged the entire hall into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by his audacity.

Negotiating with the state?

We also need equal cooperation?

This kid must be crazy!

Lin Hai stood behind Li Wu, sweating profusely with anxiety. He kept giving Li Wu meaningful glances, trying to get him to stop talking.

But Li Wu seemed not to see it, and simply looked at Chen Yan calmly, waiting for his answer.

Chen Yan's expression shifted between light and dark.

He stared intently at Li Wu, his sharp eyes seeming to see right through her.

He had been a soldier for so many years and met so many people, but he had never seen a young man as "crazy" as Li Wu.

His arrogance was justified and grounded in reason; it was neither arrogant nor humble.

If it were anyone else who dared to say those words in front of him, he would have slapped them across the face long ago.

But when facing Li Wu, he found himself unable to muster even a trace of anger.

Because he saw something in Li Wu's eyes.

There is something called "confidence".

That confidence stems from absolute strength.

silence.

A long silence.

Every second felt like an eternity.

Just as Lin Hai was about to have a heart attack from anxiety, a smile suddenly appeared on Chen Yan's serious face.

"it is good."

He slowly withdrew his hand and nodded.

"What a wonderful collaboration, rather than being absorbed."

"Kid, you've got guts."

He looked at Li Wu with admiration in his eyes.

"I agree to your conditions in principle."

"I will send someone to discuss the specific details of the cooperation with your representative."

"I have only one request."

His expression turned serious again.

"You can't let us down at critical moments. When the country needs you, you must step up."

"This is the bottom line."

"No problem." Li Wu nodded without hesitation.

A gentleman's word is his bond.

"What is done cannot be taken back."

The two exchanged a glance; although they did not shake hands, a verbal agreement had been reached.

call……

In the hall, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Hai felt as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his whole body was soaked.

Become!

They actually reached an agreement!

Their [Myth] guild not only preserved its independence, but also secured a position of equal cooperation with the nation!

This is simply unbelievable!

All eyes were focused on Li Wu.

Worship, awe, fanaticism...

At this moment, Li Wu's image in their hearts was no longer just that of a gaming master.

Rather, he is a true leader who can guide them to brave the waves in this new world!

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing business, let's talk about some personal matters."

Chen Yan's expression completely relaxed, and he asked casually, like a friendly neighbor:

"Kid, I'm curious. As far as I know, your [Myth] Guild and [Sword and Rose] Guild are the strongest allies."

"Aren't you afraid that cooperating with us will affect your alliance?"

This is also the question that Lin Hai and his group wanted to ask.

Yes, they have such a good relationship with "Sword and Roses". Now that they have become the "national team", how should "Sword and Roses", the "foreign team", be treated?

"An ally is always an ally." Li Wu's answer was simple and direct.

"As long as they do not do anything to harm our national interests, our alliance will remain unchanged."

"But what if one day, our positions really do clash..."

Li Wu paused, his eyes sharpening.

"Then I can only say that we have different paths and cannot work together."

His answer was watertight.

This preserved the friendship with allies while demonstrating its firm stance.

"Haha, great!" Chen Yan couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh. "You're loyal and principled, and I admire you more and more."

After he finished laughing, he seemed to remember something and asked, "So what do you think of the [Flower Language Guild]?"

"【Flower Language Guild】?" Li Wu paused for a moment and turned to look at Hua Zitong beside him.

He didn't expect Chen Yan to suddenly mention this guild. Did he know about Hua Zitong's relationship with the [Flower Language Guild]?

"Minister Chen seems to know a lot about the Flower Language Guild?" Li Wu asked tentatively.

"Hmm." Chen Yan nodded. "In the thirty-six districts of the Origin Realm, among the hundreds of guilds of all sizes, almost all the top guilds have the backing of a nation or a large conglomerate."

"The only exception is the Flower Language Guild."

"It was built entirely by the financial resources of the president, 'Flower Language and Wind Chant,' without accepting any investment or support from external forces."

"A purely player-run, individual guild."

"To have developed to this point and become one of the five super guilds in the Realm of Origin, don't you think that's amazing?"

Chen Yan's words surprised Li Wu as well.

Ever since he learned that super guilds were backed by the government, he assumed that the Flower Language Guild was similar to the Sword and Rose Guild.

Unexpectedly, it was Huayu and Fengyin who single-handedly carried the team.

"So their stance is now very delicate," Chen Yan continued.

"As a guild composed entirely of Chinese people, they are the ones we are trying our best to win over."

"But at the same time, their independence has made them targets for other countries' forces to win them over."

"As far as I know, you have a very good personal relationship with the guild leader of your District 21 [Flower Language Guild] branch, 'Flower Language Xiao Feng'."

Chen Yan looked at Li Wu and said meaningfully, "If you can completely bring them to our side, it will be a great achievement for the entire China region."

Upon hearing this, Li Wu's heart stirred.

He understood what Chen Yan meant.

This is assigning him a task.

It was also a test of his abilities.

"I will do my best," Li Wu said, not making a definitive statement.

"Okay." Chen Yan nodded, seemingly satisfied with his answer.

"That's enough for today." He glanced at his watch. "I have other things to take care of."

"Regarding the specifics of the cooperation, I will send my adjutant over tomorrow to meet with your... business manager."

His gaze fell on Lin Hai.

Lin Hai was startled and quickly straightened his back.

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

Chen Yan smiled and didn't say anything more.

He turned and walked towards the gate with his two men behind him.

As he reached the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped, turned back to Li Wu, and said:

"Oh, by the way, let me remind you."

"Beware of the Blood Wolf Guild."

"They seem to be doing something unusual lately in real life."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Left behind in the hall were a group of bewildered members of the [Myth] guild.
