Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 230 - 230 230

230: 230 230: 230 Soon, the two followed to the office door, where Ye Wei had already entered.

Lin Zinuo pulled Su Mo directly to the office door to eavesdrop.

However, Su Mo didn’t complain this time, as he was also quite curious about where Ye Wei’s confidence came from.

Inside the office at this moment, Ye Tian sat in the master seat, with Ye Wuheng speaking earnestly and kindly to Qian Chengxue.

“Sister, you had better think carefully.

If you miss this village, there won’t be another shop like this.”

“No need, I am very clear about every decision I make.”

Qian Chengxue’s tone was as cold and resolute as ever, without a hint of wavering.

“You seem to have quite the confidence, but do you even have the capital for it?

To put it bluntly, times have changed.

You must have seen it too, the Earth Cup rules have been initiated, and in the end, only one guild can win.

The Sky Dragon Guild is no longer providing us with follow-up funding, which means the bonus period is over.”

“Father has also decided to downsize the legions and personnel.

The guild will only retain two legions, one is your elder brother’s legion, the other your elder sister’s legion.

All other sister legions will be disbanded and sent back to work in the factory.

We’ll extract elite personnel and equipment to join the two legions.

That way, we can still receive a significant compensation.

Otherwise, you’ll just be playing in the mud.

Without the main guild’s funding, you will lose everything.”

“You don’t need to worry about that.”

Qian Chengxue remained unmoved.

“I’m giving you a way out, don’t be unappreciative.

With the little properties you have in reality, you can’t support the expenses of the game.”

Ye Wei’s eyes showed a hint of annoyance.

Ye Tian, sitting in the master seat, furrowed his brows slightly.

The merger plan, though a last resort, was indeed a major policy decided by the group.

This time, the Five Dragon Heads entered the game, which essentially was to collect materials for the Sky Dragon Guild.

Most of the produced and collected materials have already been delivered.

If the Earth Cup rules hadn’t changed, the Sky Dragon Guild could’ve continued to include them in the game alongside themselves.

Now, with the new rules out, it’s naturally unlikely for the Sky Dragon Guild to pour resources into them.

Of course, this isn’t to say that the Sky Dragon Guild has completely cut off their subsidies, but most have been shifted to subsidize real-world industries, as now Dawn Group must retract its online layout.

By concentrating the elite in two legions, they can both continue to contribute in the coming wars and minimize losses.

After all, the ultimate goal of capital is to turn a profit.

In assuring Dawn Group’s strong position, losses can also be reduced.

Simply put, without subsidies, entering the game is a loss altogether.

“You don’t need to bother yourselves with these matters, I will handle them myself.”

Qian Chengxue’s response was devoid of emotional fluctuation.

At this moment, Ye Tian also spoke, “Xiao Xue, I have always been fair to my children.

Since you have made up your mind, I won’t forcibly take over your legion.

But from now on, the group will no longer support you financially.”

“Thank you, Father.”

Qian Chengxue bowed to Ye Tian in respect.

Upon hearing Ye Tian’s words, Ye Wuheng’s expression suddenly became unsightly.

Logically, Qian Chengxue’s legion should have been incorporated by him.

Then, it could be bought at a very low price, further elevating his strength.

But now, those plans were ruined.

However, he knew Ye Tian’s temperament well; once he spoke, it was very difficult to change his decision.

So, he signaled Ye Wei with his eyes, seeking a fallback option.

Understanding his intent, Ye Wei accusatively said,

“Father, not to speak ill of her, but you’ve seen it.

Without the guild’s permission, she moved The Crane Orchid into battle on her own, resulting in The Crane Orchid being severely damaged, showing no sense of the bigger picture.

Before I came here, I saw the repair fund application uploaded by Qian Chengxue, it’s clear she doesn’t have the money to make repairs.

I think we should take back The Crane Orchid and give it to elder brother for optimal benefit.

And considering we are all family, elder brother might even give her a large sum of money.”

After listening, Ye Tian turned his head towards Qian Chengxue and said seriously, tapping on the armrest,

“Xiao Xue, I don’t want to criticize you.

Since The Crane Orchid was acquired by you, and you want to use it, I won’t say anything.

But now you can’t afford to fix it, so sell it to your elder brother.”

“Father, when I applied for the materials, I wasn’t aware of such a big change.

Now that I understand, I can repair it myself.

There’s absolutely no need to sell it.”

Qian Chengxue replied methodically.

“Ridiculous, do you think we don’t know how much money you have in your hand?”

Ye Wei sneered.

Ye Tian’s expression changed several times.

To tell the truth, he did indeed want to take back The Crane Orchid to help Ye Wuheng, after all, he was the future heir to the family.

But then he remembered Xiao Wen’s words, and he became a bit wary, so he stood up.

“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say, take care of yourself.”

At that moment, Ye Wuheng found it hard to sit still.

The Crane Orchid was extremely important to him.

In fact, it wasn’t long before the Sky Dragon Guild had successfully launched a satellite, and now the world map where Star Ring was located had been revealed.

The entire world’s landmass was deformed, entirely surrounding a vast interior ocean.

In the center of the ocean, there was an area covered in fog, and it was obvious that the central region would be the largest contested territory in the future, which is why ships were so important.

The Crane Orchid must be obtained.

“Father…”

Unfortunately, no sooner had Ye Wuheng started to speak than he was silenced by a warning glance from Ye Tian.

On the other side of the door, Su Mo and Lin Zinuo, who were eavesdropping, saw them about to come out and hurriedly tried to back away.

But they ended up bumping into someone.

Lin Zinuo and Su Mo turned their heads to look, only to see Sun Li and others had also come at some point, and they were eavesdropping as well.

“You guys?”

“Don’t ‘you guys’ us, just move!”

Sun Li hurriedly pulled Lin Zinuo and Su Mo aside to hide.

Before long, the office door was pushed open.

Ye Tian led Ye Wuheng and others out, and they left straight away.

After they left, Qian Chengxue also came out of the office.

Sun Li and the others immediately gathered around, their faces filled with concern.

“Sister Xue, is our Legion finished?”

“Yeah, is the guild really not going to give us any money?”

“What should we do?”

…

Facing everyone’s eager eyes, Qian Chengxue rarely showed a smile.

She slowly raised her hands to signal everyone not to panic and then smiled at Sun Li and the others, saying, “Don’t worry, I assure you that our Tenth Legion will not disband, nor will we merge into other legions.

We do have difficulties, but I will find a way to solve them.

It’s just that we might really need to downsize, but it’s not complete lay-offs, more like job restructuring, moving some personnel to work at other real-life positions.”

Hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, Sun Li and the others bowed their heads.

Su Mo’s brow furrowed tightly; when he saw the rules of the Earth Cup yesterday, he knew trouble was brewing.

But he had not expected such a strong reaction, though it was normal in a way.

Financial magnates entered the game focusing on profits; who would do business that lacked profit, even at a loss?

Just then, a subordinate came running breathlessly.

Seeing Qian Chengxue, she hurried over.

“Sister Xue, your phone is off; I couldn’t get through to you, but I finally found you.

It’s bad news; Dawn City is in chaos, a lot of Independent Travelers are attacking people everywhere, snatching materials.”

Qian Chengxue, after listening, remained unusually calm, showing little surprise.

With the announcement of the Earth Cup, players within the game would inevitably become polarized.

On one hand, powerful players would collect materials and recruit personnel like crazy in the struggle for dominance.

On the other hand, those who felt hopeless would try to seize resources and equipment as much as possible, looking to sell them quickly for a good sum of money, to leave the game.

After all, in-game materials and equipment would soon be widely devalued.

ps: Will resume additional updates tomorrow, thanks for everyone’s support.
