I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 431: Popular phase



I was summoned to the guild headquarters the next morning. This was not something that I had been expecting and it was certainly a surprise to see Su Chen waiting for me early in the morning. But there was nothing I could do as he basically dragged me off to the guild headquarters. When we arrived, it was different from how I had been treated before. This time, it seemed that I was much more of a celebrity. It seemed that everyone recognized me because of the tournament. At the same time, there were even some girls that waved in my direction. These were some pretty cute girls that waved in my direction, but I knew that there was only one reason that they were suddenly interested in me. Girls like this were nothing more than trouble. At the same time…I could feel a chill coming from behind me from time to time when these girls waved at me. I didn't know exactly where this cold gaze came from, but it wasn't hard to guess why I was receiving this cold gaze. So I didn't linger and just followed Su Chen to the same elevator as before. When we arrived at the office, I was surprised to find that it wasn't just Bing Lan who was waiting there for me. There were some other people that I was familiar with that were also there. These were the team leaders of the dungeon raid teams. They weren't just there to discuss something with Bing Lan, they were there specifically waiting for me. In fact, when they saw me come in, they all came forward with smiles and congratulated me on winning the tournament. Even those team leaders that I wasn't close with talked to me in a friendly manner. It seemed that all of them had ulterior motives and it wasn't hard to guess what they were thinking. They most likely wanted to bring me into their teams now that I had won the tournament and had become a popular commodity. However, Bing Lan stopped them by saying, "Alright, that's enough. You've gotten your time with him, now I have something to discuss with him in private. All of you can leave now." The dungeon raid team leaders had unwilling looks on their faces, but they still left the room after leaving a few more words with me. I could tell that they were quite enthusiastic about recruiting me to their teams. Though it wasn't as if I had any intentions of joining them right now. There was something else that I wanted to do and it was related to what Bing Lan wanted to talk to me about. Once all of the dungeon raid team leaders left, Bing Lan pulled out a stack of papers that she placed on the table in front of her and then gestured to them. The way that she did this without saying a word was as if she was telling me to take a look at these things. I raised a brow since I had no idea what these were, but it didn't take long to figure out what was happening. These were all requests from different organizations and they were all requests for me. It seemed like they all wanted me to work with them on different dungeon clears. After I finished reading them, Bing Lan said, "It seems like you've become quite the hot commodity after showing off like that." There was a trace of bitterness in the smile that appeared on my face. I knew that half of these weren't because of me, but rather because of the Awakener Association. Because of what had happened, there were many people that wanted to use me to not only get a link to Elementia, but also the Awakener Association. She wasn't wrong that I was a hot commodity, but it wasn't a good thing. In a sense, it could be said that I was in a popular phase. It was just that this wasn't a popular phase that I wanted. After thinking about it for a bit, I said with a shake of my head, "I won't be accepting any of these." Bing Lan didn't seem surprised to hear me say this, but she did ask, "Are you sure about that? Some of these pay quite well. I wouldn't mind if you want to take them since we could earn quite a bit from the commission fee." The same bitter smile appeared on my face when I heard her ask this, but I still said, "Yes, I'm sure." Bing Lan gave a nod of approval when she heard this before sweeping away all the papers on the table. They were pushed off the side and then just thrown onto the ground, as if she didn't care about them. I was surprised to see this, but she just said, "Don't worry about them. You can go home or do what you want now." I was even more surprised to hear this since I thought that there would be more, but Bing Lan explained, "You just needed to show your face today, I can take care of the rest." From this, I could tell what she wanted today. After that tournament, there was no doubt that many people would want her to bring me in so that they could try to win me over. That was why Bing Lan called me here today. Though she didn't actually want me to listen and follow anyone since she knew that I had my own things to do. At the same time, she also had her own plans for me, so she didn't want me to be sidetracked because of others. It was no wonder she agreed to me rejecting all of these offers so easily. It seemed like Bing Lan had even been counting on this. Seeing that I wasn't leaving, Bing Lan said, "What? Are you not going? Do you miss me that much?" I was caught off guard seeing her tease me like this, but I didn't dare respond to it since I still wasn't ready for that yet. Perhaps in the future, but right now…a S Ranker was just too much.
