What was going on? What was going on?
Li Yalin froze on the spot as she heard Celica's words. He had no idea what was going on.
Sister Tongzi? Tongzi? Wasn't it Kirito? What was the situation with that sister? Why did Kirito suddenly change her gender into a girl?
Li Yalin was completely confused. Coach! This was different from the original plot!
Although Kiriko looked like a beautiful girl from the outside, she was just a little boyish. However, Li Yalin had mistaken her for a boy after meeting her for the first time. That was why he never thought about this problem.
It was no wonder. Who would have thought that the male lead in the original plot would suddenly turn into a girl?
"Brother Yalin? What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Li Yalin was standing there without moving, Silika quickly waved her hand in front of Li Yalin's eyes. She did not know what was wrong with Li Yalin.
"No…nothing. You're…Tong?”Li Yalin finally snapped out of his trance after seeing Celica's reaction. However, he still couldn't look Kiriko in the eye. After all, the amount of information was too much for him to digest in a short period of time.
"No way, Brother Yalin, you actually don't know Sister Tong's name?”Li Yalin's behavior made Celika very surprised. Kiriko was hired by Li Yalin, and as the employer, Li Yalin actually didn't know her name?
"How would I know?" Li Yalin's mouth twitched. If he had known, he wouldn't have been so surprised.
"Then why have you come to find me?”Even though she didn't know why Li Yalin was so surprised by her name, Tong Zi's face remained expressionless.
In fact, Li Yalin didn't understand Kiriko, and Kiriko didn't understand Li Yalin either. After all, the relationship between the two was just that of an employer and an employee. As long as they did their job well, there was no need to continue to understand each other.
This was Kiriko's current way of doing things. In fact, if it weren't for the lack of money and equipment, Kiriko wouldn't even consider leveling up with a smurf account.
She could only blame Kiriko for being too unlucky recently. Although it was not a problem for her to accumulate experience and level up her skills, no matter how hard she fought the monsters, she could not drop better equipment. Her face was as black as Bao Gong's. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to this job without hesitation after receiving Argo's communication message.
Now that the work was over, Kiriko was only staying because of Celica. Recently, Celica had been protecting and helping out when she led her team to kill monsters. The two of them had become familiar with each other.
Kiriko didn't really want to get involved with Cecilia, but Cecilia treated Kiriko as a good friend. This was also why Li Yalin could hear the laughter in Kiriko's room when he stood outside.
Now that Li Yalin had appeared, Kiriko had a chance to get rid of Silika. Furthermore, Kiriko had made up her mind to leave immediately after Li Yalin finished speaking.
"Um…I do have something to discuss. I wonder if we can talk in private?”
After being asked by Kiriko, Li Yalin remembered the main purpose of his visit. Recruiting Kiriko was the key. Otherwise, why would he come?
Now was not the time to be surprised. He should think about how to convince Tong.
Li Yalin knew that convincing Kiriko to join a guild was a very difficult task. Otherwise, in the original storyline, she…No, Kirito in the original storyline would not have been able to remain a solo player all this time, even though she had not experienced the pain yet…
What a mess. Kirito or Kiriko, what a chaotic rhythm!
Forget it, he did not care about Kirito. The only person standing in front of him was Kiriko. This was no longer the original SAO, but a whole new world!
"Talk alone? What do you want to talk about?" It seemed that Li Yalin's words surprised Tong. After all, she didn't think there was anything to talk about between the two of them. However, Li Yalin's eyes were so serious. What exactly did this man want?
"Let's talk about the future direction and development of this world, and what plans you have for the future.”
At this moment, Li Yalin's expression suddenly became very serious. He had decided that he should take a long-term view when dealing with someone like Kiriko. He should use reason to move her with emotion. He wanted to let her know that the guild was not a restriction and could provide her with more help.
In that case, as long as he gave Tong Zi enough benefits and the freedom she wanted, she would not reject his recruitment.
"Silika, can I have a moment alone with Miss Kiriko?”
Li Yalin hoped that Kiriko could have a quiet space to think calmly when she made a decision. Therefore, under such circumstances, he had no choice but to let Celica suffer.
"Tsk, mysterious Brother Yalin, if you dare to do anything bad to Sister Kiriko, I'll tell Sister Yuriel!”
Obviously, Li Yalin's words made Silika very unhappy, especially when she looked at Li Yalin suspiciously, as if Li Yalin was really going to do something to Kiriko.
"Little girl, what are you thinking about? Why was her thinking so impure at such a young age?”
Li Yalin's face was filled with helplessness as he faced Silika. This little girl was usually very mischievous, but now she was even joking with him. Were children nowadays so mature? Besides, Kiriko was only fourteen years old! What can I do to her?
Seeing Li Yalin's furious expression, Silika made a face at him before running away with a grin. However, with Silika's departure, only Li Yalin and Kiriko were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Was it wrong of him to let Cecilia leave? As expected, a livelier atmosphere was needed at this time.
No…wait, this wasn't a blind date, what kind of lively atmosphere was this!
"Then what do you want to say? Can you say it now?”Just as Li Yalin was in a dilemma, Kiriko took the initiative to speak. She saw that her expression was slightly wrinkled. Was she impatient?
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. Miss Tong, do you have a companion now? Or rather, do you have a guild or team that you want to join?”
"Are you trying to recruit me?"
Kiriko was indeed very smart. As soon as Li Yalin said this, before he could explain his intention, Kiriko had already noticed Li Yalin's intention.
" Uh…That's the general idea. Our guild is lacking in combat personnel, so…"
"I refuse!"
“……”
Li Yalin was speechless. Although he expected Tong Zi to reject him, he didn't expect her to reject him so quickly.
What the hell! Would it kill him to finish his sentence?
"Miss Kiriko, I think you misunderstood me. I do want you to join our guild, but not in the way you think.”
Although he was helpless, Li Yalin quickly explained. After all, he hadn't said his thoughts yet. It would be too depressing to be rejected like this.
"Then what do you mean?" Tong Zi didn't understand what was going on. It wasn't the kind of participation that she had imagined. What other methods were there to join?
"What I mean is, Miss Kiriko, you can join our guild in name, but in fact, you have the right to act alone. You can do whatever you want normally, and we won't give you any restrictions. At the same time, Miss Kiriko, you can also enjoy all the benefits of our guild, including the purchase price of internal members, the sharing of information, and even when you need support, we can provide you with help.”
"But what good is this for you?”
Tong Zi didn't understand. Li Yalin's conditions were no longer favorable. It was simply a big loss sale. Everything was for his own benefit first, so why did Li Yalin do this?
This was completely illogical. According to normal people's thinking, the more benefits they pursue, the more right they should be. But why did this person have to do the opposite?
