Chapter 271: Recruitment Drive (2)

( The DarkSky Guild )

With only one hour left till the gaming hours for the day concluded, Cervantez closed all interviews for the day, concluding the guild recruitment operations for the day.

After the first day, the DarkSky guild managed to recruit

254 Mages

430 Swordsmen

120 Knight’s

12 Healers

65 Barbarians

12 Blacksmiths

10 Runic Inscriptors

And

Two special class players that Cervantez recognised from his past life.

Overall, the average level of the players that the guild accepted was around 60-80, which was pretty high considering that the top rankers currently apart from The Boss was near the 120-130 level range.

Of the two special class players that the guild recruited, one possessed the special class ‘Path Finder’ who had the class special ability [ Locate Path ] at his disposal.

This player was invaluable in Cervantez’s future plans for the guild, as he hoped that the guild could become a dungeon raiding force in the future and although the player was weak currently, Cervantez believed that nurturing him was going to be worth it.

The other special class player had the class ‘Item Appraiser’, and his skill was to appraise and find hidden features within items.

This player in particular was a goldmine, and given the right conditions Cervantez could envision a future where this player would earn the guild hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year.

With him around, Cervantez could find hidden valuable items in large auctions and even pick top tier items from the black market for dirt cheap.

Overall, the first day of recruitment went extremely well for the guild and everything seemed to be progressing smoothly.

“SkyLion, with so many guild members joining, you’re going to get busy real soon” Cervantez said, as he glanced over the day’s report and passed the document over to Luke after signing it.

“To be honest, I’m still getting used to the fame…. Every Time a candidate tells me they’re a fan or calls me the ‘Suplex Demon’ it makes me blush internally” Luke said as he scratched his head.

“Hahaha, you have to get used to the fame, you’re one of the most recognisable players in the game now.

You, me alongside TheBoss are the top three most recognisable players in the game without a doubt right now.

We are bound to have lots of fans and haters.

It’s going to be a part of our life from now on” Cervantez said, as he recalled how low leveled players stared at him with awe and chuckled silently.

“For me, I can easily deal with cocky players that come up to me and challenge me to a duel.

I had two fools belonging to the knight class who weren’t even level 60 but claimed that they could beat me in a fight when I rejected their applications to join the guild.

Needless to say I suplexed them both over their heads and fractured their skulls….” Luke said as he paused for a bit, before continuing “However, I’m not used to the fanboys that ask me for advice.

Dealing with them is harder” He admitted as Cervantez burst out laughing when he heard this.

He had received a report that Luke had disciplined a few players in his queue during the day, however, only now did he get the specifics of what exactly happened.

“All in due time my friend…. All in due time” Cervantez said, as he felt internally joyful on how the times had changed for the guild.

( Meanwhile ChaosBringer )

The DarkSky guild wasn’t the only organization that saw an influx of members over the past two days as the Uprising also saw a massive surge of new recruits after the grand tournament concluded.

With the Uprising recruitment agents becoming bolder and using the name of Ben Faulkner and TheBoss in their recruitment drives, rumors started to circulate on the global forums that TheBoss had ties to the underworld gang ‘The Uprising’ and was one of their hidden leaders.

With Leo’s popularity currently being on an all-time high, the uprising attracted a lot of new recruits to their organization, as all the downtrodden and depraved that looked up to TheBoss as their idol joined the uprising in hopes of someday becoming like him.

With huge amounts of cash inflows into the organization with their betting wins during the grand tournament, for the first time since its establishment, ChaosBringer found himself in the unique position of issuing proper guild quests with huge rewards, as the underworld organization that was disjointed and unstructured up till now, finally started to whip into a structured shape.

When the new members joined the guild chat and saw missions paying out monetary rewards as large as 100,000 gold coins for assassination of any member of the royal court, they felt stunned by the scale and influence of the guild, leading to them automatically beginning to respect the organization.

ChaosBringer’s newfound ability to finance these high-stakes missions also meant that the Uprising could now afford to equip their members with state-of-the-art weapons and gear for any special mission that the group issued.

Purchasing weapons and bombs was now subsidized by the guild, which further incentivised all members to try and fulfill them.

Also, by doing massive charity events for its organization members after the grand tournament, ChaosBringer won over the hearts of all existing members as he rewarded them all heavily for their loyalty to the group up till now.

This elevated the group’s image and standing in the global market significantly as those who were following and tracking the group from the start began to realize that it was no longer an organization consisting of only rag-tag Sector E players and that the group actually meant business.

With the Uprising’s influence spreading rapidly, ChaosBringer seized the opportunity to bolster his ranks by recruiting seasoned NPC mercenaries. These veterans were tasked with training new recruits and lending legitimacy to the organization, significantly enhancing its reputation among members and on global forums. This boosted their recruitment efforts in a virtuous feedback loop.

These developments transformed the Uprising from a loosely connected group of rebels into a formidable force capable of challenging even the most established powers in the realm, giving ChaosBringer the confidence that if this rate of growth continued, the Uprising could soon overthrow the Empire’s rule.
