Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 29 - 27: Josh Catches the Eye of the No. 1 Guild
*
Meanwhile, in the largest guild of the Federation, the first-tier members are repeatedly watching a video of Josh’s "Dream Seeking Circus" instance.
The largest guild in the entire Federation Star is the Mysterious Guild, located in the capital of the largest Central Star, Burn Planet, which is Burn City.
The Federation Star is roughly divided into two factions.
One side relies on a hereditary system to inherit the titles of the royal nobles.
The other side relies on the military to protect the peace of the Federation Star, consisting of officers.
The two major factions have organized several large guilds with the aim of competing for a Divine Position.
There are only seven Guardian Gods in the Federation, and the more Guardians that lean towards a side, naturally, the higher that side stands.
The forces on both sides of the Federation Star have been overtly and covertly competing for divine power for millennia.
And the Mysterious Guild is the military’s largest and most promising guild.
The first tier of the Mysterious Guild currently has only four people.
Instructor Ma Qi Lance repeatedly plays the highlights of Josh in the instance.
After completing the instance, parts regarding the mermaid were also released.
The screen freezes at the point where Josh is unconscious in the arms of the mermaid, their heads surrounded by a mermaid and a pale pink spider embodying spiritual power.
Ma Qi points at the pale pink spider in the picture, "This is the high-level Master An we’ve been looking for."
Team member Jiang Can scratches his head foolishly, "But her spiritual power panel is only F-level, she can’t be the boss’s Master An, can she?"
Ma Qi adjusts his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Among all the spiritual power spiritual bodies recorded in the database, only the spider form is the strongest Master An. They are inherently skilled in organizing and controlling lines with precision, capable of calming the Spiritual Sea of high-level spiritual power users in the shortest time."
Rob pouts disdainfully, touching his stubble, "But she’s F-level, our boss is an SSS-level high-combat spiritual power user, can she hold him?"
Jiang Can complains in frustration, "Last time the boss went berserk in an instance, we three almost got killed by him."
From the corner comes a lazy voice, "You can’t keep up with my pace, is it my fault~?"
The last three words are drawn out long, sounding very provoking.
Rob twists his body angrily, "We clearly agreed on a three-way flank, boss, you couldn’t hold back and charged in, how could we react in time? By the time we arrived, you had already wiped out the enemy’s lair completely!"
Ma Qi adjusts his glasses again, a gleam flashing in the narrow eyes behind the lenses, "Therefore, I have another decision, to recruit her as your fifth team member, and also as a tactician."
"What?!" Rob and Jiang Can jumped up immediately.
The baseball cap on the man’s face in the corner slips down, revealing a sharp and exquisite face.
The man has shoulder-length matte golden messy hair tied in a loose half-ponytail, and his beautiful narrow eyes inlaid with gemstone-like pupils are shining with a faint cold light.
Yuze squints his eyes, the beautiful eyes arching into a magnificent arc, "Tactician? Are you certain?"
Ma Qi without pressure faces everyone’s gaze, playing the interactions between Josh and Huang Bairen and the others.
He analyzes, "As you can see, almost the moment Huang Bairen and those people found her, she saw through their personalities and then used a countermeasure, demonstrating her very detailed observation and understanding of each person. Without high sensitivity and observational ability, it’s very difficult to achieve this."
He fast-forwards to the later part, "Here, none of them are high-combatants, all unable to beat the octopus, but Josh decisively uses the octopus’s weaknesses to restrain her, gathering people to lead her to the Ferris Wheel, using its structure to trap the octopus."
Yuze squints his eyes, looking at the red-haired girl in the picture.
Ma Qi continues, "She can handle not only these players but also NPCs. Who among you can achieve an SSS rating with a combat power of 3 in a newbie instance?"
Several people can’t help but fall silent.
Ma Qi analyzes, "Although your combat records are excellent, there is a very obvious flaw."
Yuze raises an eyebrow.
Ma Qi gives him a sideways glance, "No need to raise your eyebrows, I’m stating facts."
He looks at Yuze, "Your solo battles have never been defeated, not even below SSS rank, but you know how those results came about, pure brute force recklessness. Apart from fighting, what else can you do? You can’t be held back!"
Yuze was once the strongest tactician of the guild, even commanding numerous battles on the Military Department’s battlefield, with very powerful and acute command abilities.
But after that incident... he seemed to have changed completely, as if he had taken out his brain, not thinking at all, as if thinking for a moment might cost him his life!
Yuze twitches the corner of his mouth slightly, still lazy even when scolded, "Why talk so much when actions speak louder, coach."
Ma Qi’s face darkens, and he looks at the others, "You can excel in your respective fields, but you lack tactics. Instead of using 3 points to win a match, you prefer to use 12 points to forcefully break through."
The few of them can’t help but lower their heads in embarrassment.
Ma Qi snorts coldly, "Yes, it saves effort, doesn’t require brainpower, but think about it, you are to face the strongest team from the noble faction in the future, the noble team’s strength is lacking, but their minds are sly, playing dirty, scavenging, opportunistic, deceitful, they play psychological games, how will you defend against them?"
Yuze lethargically leans back slightly, his body slouched on the chair, with legs so long that they accidentally kick Ma Qi on the opposite side.
Ma Qi slaps the table, "Especially you! As the captain, leading the team into violent breakthroughs."
Yuze perks up a bit, "Sorry, coach!"
Lazily as if casually admitting to eating mashed potatoes today.
Ma Qi glares at him, pointing at Josh on the screen, "My judgment wouldn’t be wrong, she is definitely the strongest tactician, fitting the entire team perfectly." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
They look at him blankly.
Ma Qi’s mouth twitches slightly, "I mean, whether separating you individually or grouping you, she perfectly fits your arrays. The only drawback is the spiritual power is only F-level, but..."
"Alright, coach, tomorrow we’ll go to Grenel City to meet this Little Tactician, may we adjourn?" Yuze is so sleepy he can barely keep his eyes open, using his strong spiritual power to forcefully prop up his eyelids.
"I agree." The last member Yushi in the corner speaks softly like a ghost.
Next to them, Jiang Can and Rob are instantly startled awake, "When did you get here?!"
Yushi slowly turns his head, his long bangs nearly covering his eyes, "I’ve been here all along."
He just didn’t speak up.
Seeing everyone tired, Ma Qi also feels some pity, after all, they have been meeting for six hours.
He nods, "Let’s stop here for today, tomorrow the four of you come with me to Grenel City to meet this Josh Augustine."
"Yes!"

The Augustine family villa.
It’s been 23 hours since Josh was locked away yesterday.
There’s only one hour left before the cooldown of the Divine-level Item is bound.
Susan’s a bit anxious, glaring with disgust at Josh’s tightly locked room door, she wipes off the rouge and red lipstick, trying to make herself look pale and delicate.
