Liu Yu added, "My guild has been hosting a series of talisman tournaments, and we've been gaining a lot of attention and new members. It's been a great way to showcase our skills and attract like-minded individuals."
Tang Xiaohui leaned back in his chair, "I've been working on hosting a grand gathering of Silk Road traders to discuss new routes and opportunities. It's a great way to network and make important connections."
