Chapter 286: - Slumdon’s Official Team
?
It was the much-anticipated evening. Everyone had gathered again in the meeting room at the House of Slumdon. Tonight, they would decide on the official members involved in the development of Slumdon Town. Freya and Booba were already present, as were
RememberMe, PussyCat, and Forev, along with members of the Ass Guild. Some hade in person, while others joined remotely.
After a thorough discussion and registration process, the final results were in. Out of the thirteen members of the Ass Guild, ten had taken part in the financial contribution offered by Broken. Skywarden, Trison, and Kingsley had opted out.
Skywarden''s reason for refusal was that he still couldn''t trust Broken. Trison was always too drunk to pay attention when asked, and Kingsley simply didn''t have the finances to join in.
"Thank you, Broken, for understanding my situation," Kingsley said. "But I still want to contribute and have a role in this city to help you develop it," he added.
"No, it''s alright. I am grateful for your eagerness to assist in building this city," Broken responded with a nod.

After everyone hade to an agreement on the ns and how tasks would be divided among the team, Optimus from the Ass Guild, who had participated in the fund contribution, declined to take part in any of the team''s activities.
"Sorry, but I''m not good at these kinds of things, Broken. But I''ll always be there if you need someone to call on in a battle or war, haha," he exined.
Broken was amazed to find out that he had received a total of 7,500 Gold Coins. It was a substantial amount, with great value if converted into real currency. He never expected to hold such an impressive number of Gold Coins.
"Broken," Booba said loudly. "Why don''t you give me any role? Do you think I''m useless?"
"You certainly are useless!" Elincia interjected. "You better focus on your level so you don''t be a burden to us."
Booba clicked his tongue. "Do you think I can''t level up because I''m busy building this city?" "Yes! Absolutely!" Elincia retorted.
"Booba," Broken responded calmly. "I think Elincia''s opinion is right. I will assign you a role once you''re ready with your level."
"All right, all right. I can''t argue with that, hahaha," Booba said, turning to all the Ass Guild members. "Don''t be surprised if, in the near future, I overtake all your levels, hahaha." "Dream on, asshole!" Melliandra shot back.
"I''m still surprised that someone without a brain like you is among us, Booba," Jovina said with augh.
They began joking and teasing each other. Once the room settled down, Broken continued, "Does anyone have any other concerns?"
RememberMe raised his hand. "Master," he said, "why don''t you immediately formalize the new guild you n to create?"
Broken turned to RememberMe, a bit surprised by the question, as it was something he hadn''t nned to address so soon.
"I think everyone wants to hear the answer to that question too, Broken. Haha, how long do you n to stay guild-less? Just join us or create your own guild, haha," Jovina said loudly.
"Join The Ass Guild! I think you''re not that useless to be a part of us," Melliandra responded, though she averted her gaze.
"Do you think recruiting people into the guild is something that can be decided so easily?" Skywarden interjected.
"Indeed," Elincia responded. "I think you are qualified enough to join our guild," she said. "But I understand there are many considerations to take into ount if you decide to do it. However, I want you to know that we''ve discussed this before, and we don''t mind if you want to join our guild, Broken."
"Elincia, why do you sound like we''re begging him to join us? We''re not that desperate," Skywarden retorted.
"Khi khi khi," Goldrich chuckled. "I''m sure we''ve discussed this before, Skywarden. Although not everyone agreed at the time."
"We''re a guild with elite members!" Maylock chimed in. "At least, that''s our reputation. In reality, we''re a guild built on a shared agreement and vision formed a long time ago. You don''t need to be elite to join this guild; you just need the desire to progress and grow relentlessly."
"Khi khi khi, I see you really want Broken to join us, don''t you, Maylock?" Goldrich added with a chuckle.
"Yeah, hahaha," Jovina said, echoing the sentiment. "Look at that drunken fool Trison. He doesn''t have a single ''elite'' bone in his body. Or someone as dumb as Toberry. He''s not elite. And if you think every member of the guild is rich, just look at Kingsley-he''s broke, hahaha." "Watch your words, Jovina!" Melliandra eximed, clearly irritated. "That''s Kingsley you''re talking about!"
"It''s okay, Melliandra," Kingsley interjected. "She''s only trying to make a point to Broken about our situation. And I am indeed not as wealthy as the others."
"Ch, damn you, Jovina!" Melliandra spat.
"I''m not the least bit interested in joining your guild, The Ass Guild," RememberMe said firmly. "Therefore, I support Master Broken in creating his own guild, and I''ll join him."
"Who said we''re offering you to join our guild, dumbass!" Melliandra snorted. "We don''t even know who you are!"
"It seems that RememberMe is as stupid as your brother, Elincia. Haha, I guess if webine the two of you, we''d get one normal person-stupid times stupid equals normal. Hahaha!" Jovina remarked,ughing.
"Who said I''m stupid?" Booba eximed. "I''m a world champion, a great warrior. I could easily beat Livelywood if I were at the same level as him."
Livelywood simply smiled at Booba''s words. "I will dly duel you, Booba, when the time
comes."
Broken observed the group, amazed by the atmosphere around him. Everyone was so
encouraging. It was a stark contrast to what he was ustomed to. He really couldn''t even think about joining a guild or starting a new one. There were just too many things he had to do right now. Many tasks were pending, and other various matters were still awaiting his attention. He needed to finish everything one by one before he could even consider anything
about the guild.
"I''ll definitely think about it," Broken replied, drawing everyone''s attention back to him. "But I want to join a guild with Booba, RememberMe, PussyCat, Forev, and Freya. None of us have a guild yet. Asking them to join me in joining the Ass Guild wouldn''t be very polite. "Besides, I''m not ready to lead others. I''ve always been a lone wolf, and I don''t really know how to manage people. I haven''t even thought about starting my own guild just yet. Give me some time until I return from my expedition to the Wildwood."
"Take your time, Broken." Goldrich said.
Once everything had been discussed and agreed upon, Broken quickly shifted his thoughts back to his tasks. "Let''s get back to work!" he said, then promptly exited the room. "Isn''t there anything else in his head besides work?" Goldrich chuckled as Broken left the
room.
"He isn''t a yer, but an NPC designed to look like a yer by the system," Maylock
commented.
"Haha, don''t worry, I can confirm he''s a real person," RememberMe added with augh. "Freya knows him well; they even share a house and sleep in the same ce."
"RememberMe!" Freya interrupted sharply. "Could you not say things that might cause
misunderstandings?"
"So he''s not only an expert with women in games but in real life too?" Elincia remarked with a
smirk.
"He is such a pervert! I knew it!" Melliandra eximed.
"Khi khi khi. I underestimated that young man. Turns out he''s secretly a bit of a womanizer,"
Goldrich responded.
"It''s wonderful to be young," Maylock sighed. "If only I were still single, I might also take
advantage of my youth by dating more women."
"Maylock, you are so disgusting!" Melliandra shouted.
