    The top 16 was a whole new world.


    No one would look down on the Xin Xin Mercenary Group as a random team anymore as their


    achievements could clearly be seen.


    Previously, it was only the businessmen who considered giving them products to endorse. But now, they


    even had financiers who wanted to acquire them because they were optimistic about their group’s


    growth.


    As the gaming industry grew, it even spread to the poorer parts of themunity.


    As a result, the star yers’ fame grew even greater.


    Dawn, a game that had be so universally epted, was gaining more and more yers every day


    from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a great


    business opportunity.


    They were offering eight million dors!


    For an up anding force that wasn’t even a big guild, this was already a very generous amount.


    However, Wandering, without first consulting Lu Li, rejected the Northern Chinese Power Company’s


    offer.


    Lu Li didn’t oppose this decision either.


    It wasn’t that the amount was too low, although, this was still a factor.


    Lu Li’s primary concern when ying Dawn was to make money, but he wasn’t going to sell himself for a


    short-term benefit.


    After taking the $8 million, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group would be the Northern Chinese Power


    Company’s designatedpetitors. A portion of any money from endorsements orpetitions would


    be returned to their sponsors.


    Additionally, they would also need to listen to the decisions made by the club managers.


    Naturally, the club manager would be someone appointed by their sponsors.


    My life belongs to myself, and I make all my decisions willingly and freely. I have never been controlled


    by anyone; not even gods can do so! I lower my head to others out of respect and admiration, but never


    out of subservience!


    These were the words on Aegwynn’s book that had deeply resonated with Lu Li.


    In his past life, he had sold himself to raise money for his sister’s treatment. However, after his rebirth,


    he had promised himself that he would never bow to anyone ever again.


    He might havee from a poor background, but that didn’t mean he needed to yield to anyone.


    The Northern Power Company wanted a team that waspletely theirs. Lu Li, Moonlight and March


    Rain would be their battle generals, and they would send a ‘specialist’ to manage the rest. This was the


    exact reason why Lu Li refused the offer.


    Lu Li preferred to dominate his niche rather than to dominate everything.


    The head of Northern Power Company wandered off, thinking about how such arge sum of money


    had failed to buy the cooperation he wanted.


    However, an important issue had been raised – the direction of future development for the Mercenary


    Group.


    Were they just waiting for a better price? Or would they never ept any offers and remain as a


    Mercenary Group?


    "Mercenary Groups are too simple and don’t scale well." The only qualified person here seemed to be


    Wandering. He had managed a guild in the past but was kicked out because of his vicious tongue.


    At first, they didn’t want to start a guild because of the costs. They were unlikely to overtake any of the


    rger guilds anyway.


    However, things were different now – they had an opportunity before them.


    If they started a guild now, there would surely be countless yers swarming to join them. They could


    even pick whatever criteria they wanted for entry.


    After all, they were the fourth-ranking team in the top 100.


    "How about we start a club first, then a guildter?" Wandering suggested.


    He looked at Lu Li before making a decision. Lu Li usually didn’t care about a lot of things, but that didn’t


    mean he couldn’t learn from them.


    He was very clearly someone who was the master of his own affairs.


    A wise man would never make the same mistake twice.


    "A club?" Lu Li looked vacant.


    "It’s pretty simr to the current guild structure..." Wandering then described the current guild structure


    and the club structure in detail. Although there were some subtle differences, they were essentially the


    same thing.


    Some yers weren’t part of their guilds but were part of a club instead. This meant that the guild did


    not bind them.


    Star yers like Ho’s Nest or Lucky Southern Persian were often part of these clubs. In fact, they


    were often the leaders for these clubs and were solely responsible for them.


    Of course, there were also some yers who were subordinates in the club. Jade Flower Lover was an


    example of this.


    Most guild presidents weren’t the club leader. The main sponsors would generally send someone they


    trusted to control the club.


    Of course, there were some leaders who were presidents for both the guild and the club. For example,


    Sorrowless was the Glory Capital’s Club leader and the Glory Capital’s Guild President.


    However, news was circting that Sorrowless was transferring his President title; his intention was to


    return to thepetitive scene. It was possible that there was going to be a new president in the near


    future.


    In a sense, the guild served the club.


    The star yers’ skill books, level and equipment were unconditionally provided by the guild.


    This architecture freed up the star yers from theplicated guild obligations, giving them time to


    practice PVP, participate inpetitions or do various other jobs to represent the guild.


    A club’s ie came from a number of ces. These could be fees, winnings or endorsements and so


    on.


    "Let’s do it then."


    Lu Li didn’t have big ambitions, but he couldn’t refuse this development. The Xin Xin Mercenary Group


    was no longer just about him.


    He wanted to make money but Wandering wanted to develop the group. There was no need for this to


    be a conflict – each person could still amodate for their needs.


    "What should we call it? Xin Xin Club?" Wandering asked Lu Li. The others had been silent. Remnant


    Dream was already napping and Hachi Chan was absent-mindedly drooling.


    "Let’s all discuss it together. The first name was little too casual." Lu Li didn’t have any ideas.


    "Consider the fact that the guild name has to be the same," Wandering said then continued, "Now we


    need to pick a guild president and a club leader."


    "You can be the guild president," Lu Li said.


    "I’m not too suited for that role. I’m toozy to deal with trivial matters and I’m very likely to offend


    people."


    The guild president was the overall manager and had to deal with all kinds of yers outside of the


    guild. With Wandering’s vicious tongue, the other yers were bound to be offended.


    "If he was the president, there would be yers dering war on us every day," Azure Sea Breeze


    quipped.


    "How about you do it?" Wandering sneered.


    "I’m toozy," Azure Sea Breeze shrunk back in fear.


    He knew that he wasn’t someone who could manage people. In fact, he had grown up being bullied by


    Wandering for that.
