Without further ado, Xu Tian immediately brought up the system panel and skillfully opened the game's built-in guild interface.

He first glanced at the current server's guild list and the number of members displayed.

[Academic Affairs Guild: 53 members] (Guild Leader: Top-Tier)

【Idol Guild: 12 members】(Guild Leader: Pinnacle)

[Civilized Guild: 10 members] (Guild Leader: Xiao Heihei)

【Zhan Dao Guild: 8 members】(Guild Leader: Qingchen)

Looking at the first-ranked guild, the Academic Affairs Guild, with its unusually large number of members, Xu Tian couldn't help but think how bizarre its name was.

It must have been created by that group of culturally-minded gamers, including teachers and professors from the real world.

Seeing that the president's name was "Shangshangqian" (meaning "Good Fortune"), Xu Tian had a better understanding of the situation.

Seeing Xu Tian staring at the top-ranked guild, Feng Xue spoke up at the opportune moment.

"This teaching affairs group guild is generally composed of casual players who are keen on teaching NPCs like Clara and engaging in cultural export. They don't participate much in frontline monster fighting and wars; they are more like a logistics and cultural department, which is why I didn't emphasize them to you earlier."

Xu Tian nodded in understanding and said.

"Well, it seems that the main force that can really be deployed to fight tough battles right now mainly depends on these three guilds."

Without further hesitation, Xu Tian entered the four characters "Zhutian Guild" on the guild creation interface and paid the initial material costs required for creation.

As soon as the system issued a server-wide notification announcing the establishment of the new guild, he immediately closed the cumbersome management interface.

However, before he could catch his breath, Feng Xue immediately came up to him and said in a firm tone.

"Brother Tian, ​​I also want to join your Zhutian Guild."

Xu Tian was taken aback and looked at her with some confusion.

"Why did you join? Weren't you just agreeing to let me create a unique guild based on my pet-raising skills? How come you've betrayed me so quickly?"

At this moment, Fengxue blinked and said confidently.

"Creating my own business is too risky. I've thought about it and decided to stick with Brother Tian, ​​who has inside information and is very capable. It's good to be under a big tree, and you'll definitely prioritize people in the guild if there are any hidden benefits in the future."

Xu Tian looked at Feng Xue's appearance and nodded speechlessly.

He was internally raging, thinking, "What inside information do I have? I owe everything I am today to you guys working for me!"

However, since Fengxue is willing to join, it is definitely a great thing for the newly established Zhutian Guild, so he said helplessly.

"Alright, since you insist on coming, then I'll take you in as my capable assistant."

Subsequently, Xu Tian approved Feng Xue's membership application in the system backend and directly granted her the authority of a vice president, intending to hand over all management work to her in the future.

After finishing their guild business, the two continued their stroll through the woods, heading towards the base.

After walking for a while, Fengxue suddenly remembered something and turned around to say something.

"By the way, Brother Tian, ​​do you know where Chu Jian went? When the explosion happened, Chu Jian was right at the center of the explosion. I saw him use the Ender Pearl to escape, but due to the interference of that terrifying energy, the trajectory of his pearl was forcibly pulled into a spatial rift that suddenly opened."

"Nobody knows where that rift led him. He hasn't replied to our private messages. Could it be some kind of system bug?"

After listening, Xu Tian simply waved his hand dismissively and said with an indifferent expression.

"Don't worry, it's very stable and there won't be any major bugs. As for Chu Jian, since he didn't die on the spot and was caught up in the unknown map, let him do whatever he wants."

"If he really can't find a way out of that place or encounters an insurmountable danger, he can just find a monster to die and come back to the resurrection point."

Fengxue agreed with this reasoning, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

The two quickened their pace and continued towards the distant smoke rising from the chimneys.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Countless miles away from the main battlefield, in a beautiful, deep mountain forest shrouded in mist year-round.

Halfway up the mountain, there sits a simple house built of rough wood and thatch.

At this moment, Chu Jian, who was dazed and confused after being teleported, was lying quietly on the only simple wooden bed in the house.

Just then, he suddenly felt a very real tactile sensation.

It felt as if a soft, cold finger was constantly poking and prodding his cheek.

This strange feeling instantly jolted Chu Jian awake from her unconsciousness.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around warily.

What came into view was a woman bending over and leaning close to him.

The woman's features were quite delicate and petite. Although she could not be described as stunningly beautiful, her natural, unadorned appearance gave her an exceptionally pure and innocent look.

However, the clothes she wore were very simple, even somewhat rough, with a few barely noticeable patches, making her look like an ancient herbalist who lived in seclusion in the mountains.

The girl named Ruoxue was startled when Chujian, who had been dead, suddenly opened his eyes. Her body trembled violently, and she hurriedly took several steps back like a frightened deer, her hands nervously twisting together.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep rubbing your face."

Ruoxue's voice was very soft, with a hint of timid apology.

"But... but you suddenly fell from the sky, not only smashing a huge hole in my already flimsy roof, but you were lying motionless on the ground. I thought you... you were dead, so I couldn't help but want to check if you were still breathing..."

At this moment, Chu Jian shook her still somewhat dazed head and finally came to her senses.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction Ruoxue was pointing.

Sure enough, right in the center of the roof of this simple thatched hut, there was a large hole.

At first glance, he touched his nose with a bit of embarrassment, then looked at the thin blanket covering him, which, although a little old, exuded a faint scent of sunshine.

She thought that this must have been when she was unconscious, and that she had painstakingly moved herself onto the bed and kindly covered her up.

Since the other party meant no harm, I lowered my guard upon first meeting them.

So he hurriedly threw off the covers, got off the wooden bed, took two steps closer, and said in a gentle tone.

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm the one who should feel bad. It fell from the sky and damaged your house. How about this, come with me. This deep mountain forest doesn't seem very safe. I'll take you to a completely safe place as compensation."

Chapter 269 Where is my suitcase?

The safe place mentioned at first glance is naturally the player's main city.

He planned to use the Ender Box to teleport the kind-hearted native directly there.

As she spoke, Chu Jian instinctively reached out with both hands to grab at the air, trying to open her system inventory and quickly search for her Ender Chest.

However, the moment his gaze swept across the compartments of his backpack, he froze instantly.

"Holy crap, where's my Ender Chest?"

At first glance, my eyes widened, and then I remembered.

He had already placed the only Ender Chest he was carrying on the ground, meaning that he now had nothing left except some basic building blocks and combat supplies.

At this moment, Ruoxue, who was standing to the side, heard Chujian say that he wanted to take her away. She shook her head repeatedly, her eyes showing a resistance to the outside world. She took two steps back and said...

“I’m not leaving. I’ve lived here since I was a child. This is my home. Now that you’re awake and your body is fine, you can leave on your own. Don’t worry about me.”

Upon first seeing his empty backpack slots, Chu Jian sighed inwardly.

"Okay, without an ender chest, this big map is pitch black. Running back to base on foot would probably take forever. It seems the only shortcut to quickly get back and rejoin the main force is to find a place to drop to my death and go back to the respawn point to die."

However, Chu Jian looked down at the set of top-quality armor she was wearing, which was radiating the light of top-level enchantments, and the rare materials she had painstakingly collected in her backpack.

If you die, these equipment and supplies will be left behind in this desolate wilderness.

"What a waste of such good equipment."

My heart bled at our first meeting.

Just as he was struggling with his decision, he looked up and saw Ruoxue's innocent expression again. Then his gaze fell on the large hole in the roof that had been torn open by his sudden fall from the sky.

"It's really not right to smash up a young girl's house and then just kill yourself and run away."

Then, Chu Jian looked at Ruo Xuexue and said in a serious tone.

"Since you don't want to leave, I respect your choice. However, before I leave, I need to fix the roof of the house that was damaged because of me, otherwise it will leak wind and rain at night."

Upon hearing this, Ruoxue waved her hands repeatedly and said in a somewhat flustered manner.

"Ah, no need, no need. You've already fallen from such a height and are injured. How can I trouble you? I'll go to the mountains to cut some wood and thatch to fix it myself. It'll be done in no time."

However, at first glance, one doesn't care about others' rejection.

He ignored her advice and went straight outside.

Upon first seeing him standing under the broken eaves, he pulled out a stack of neatly arranged cobblestone blocks from his system inventory.

He bent his knees slightly, leaped upwards, and in the instant his body was airborne, placed a round stone under his feet with his right hand.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound of it being placed, the round stone appeared out of thin air and steadily supported Chu Jian's body.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Jian jumped again, placing blocks on the ground.

After repeating this three times, he arrived at the rooftop with ease, as if walking on a ladder that appeared out of thin air.

Ruoxue, who had followed out intending to dissuade him, happened to witness the entire scene of Chu Jian's performance.

She was stunned, her mouth slightly agape, completely unable to believe what she was seeing.

"What kind of magical magic is this? Creating something out of thin air? Stepping on stones to reach the heavens? Could he be one of those legendary, high-ranking magicians?"

Ruoxue was deeply shocked.

At this moment, Chu Jian had arrived at the location of the hole that she had just smashed open.

He crouched on the roof and took out round stones from his backpack, placing them directly on the edge of the hole.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In just a few seconds, the huge hole was completely blocked by the solid round stone.

Moreover, for the sake of aesthetics, he even took out tools from the craftsmanship manual to smooth out the protruding edges.
