239: Chapter 239 Thank You (Additional Chapter for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Fourth Update) 239: Chapter 239 Thank You (Additional Chapter for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Fourth Update) A moment later, Su Mo successfully entered Star Ring, appearing at Red Coral Bay Base where the entire dilapidated base was bustling with activity.
A large number of personnel were busy repairing the base.
Of course, when they said ‘repairing’, it meant clearing damaged structures, tidying up the roadways, not really repairing in the true sense of the word.
That’s because there simply was no money for repairs.
To fix up such a large bay base would cost an astronomical sum.
“What are you daydreaming about?”
Lin Zinuo popped up beside him, in a particularly good mood, and asked.
“Nothing, why are you in such a good mood today?”
Su Mo asked back with a knowing tone.
“Of course I’m happy.
Let me tell you some great news: from today on, we’re an official combat team.
In the future, we’ll become the ace team of the Legion!”
Lin Zinuo excitedly told Su Mo.
Su Mo nodded and then asked, “How’s the repair on The Crane Orchid going?”
Hearing Su Mo’s question, Lin Zinuo’s expression froze for a moment, and then she replied somewhat awkwardly, “They’re working on it.
The overall repairs are not a problem, but to fully refine it, we still need money.”
“We’ll have to slowly figure out the money situation.”
Su Mo shook his head.
“It can only be like this now.
The Legion is so broke, I have something to tell you, but don’t mention it to anyone.”
Lin Zinuo looked around, then whispered to Su Mo.
“What is it?”
“Our salary for this month hasn’t even been completely collected.
Dawn Guild is only responsible for the salaries of those who have transferred out.
As for our online personnel’s salaries, Sister Xue has to sort it out on her own.
Over eighty thousand people, with expenses reaching 200 million.”
“So much?”
Su Mo was also startled, truly encapsulating the phrase ‘a quantitative change leads to a qualitative change’.
“Shh, Sister Xue is considering selling off some of the game’s assets, like the production lines and such since we don’t have that much raw material for production.”
Lin Zinuo hastily whispered a reminder to Su Mo.
Su Mo finally understood the pressure on Qian Chengxue.
This was the amount required even after layoffs; before that, it must have been even more terrifying.
“I’m going to check on The Crane Orchid’s repairs.”
“Go ahead.
I’m going to discuss with Zhao Han whether we should celebrate since, after all, this is a big deal for our team.”
Lin Zinuo remained in high spirits.
Su Mo replied indifferently, “Suit yourself, just don’t make me join; I’m not interested.”
“Tch, what’s the point of celebrating if you’re not coming?
Forget it, I won’t waste my breath on you; I’ll be off to keep busy.”
Lin Zinuo looked at Su Mo disdainfully and then skipped away cheerfully.
Su Mo walked towards the shipyard where the collapsed parts had already been cleared, and the scarred The Crane Orchid sat inside the makeshift shipyard.
Qin Wang and others were busy working on repairs above.
At that time, Su Mo saw Qian Chengxue standing there quietly, silently watching the repair work on The Crane Orchid.
As if possessed, Su Mo walked over and instinctively greeted her.
“Legion Commander.”
Qian Chengxue turned her head and glanced at Su Mo, responding indifferently, “Just call me Sister Xue.”
“All right, Sister Xue.”
Su Mo, who was also not good at making conversation, responded awkwardly and didn’t know what to say next.
Qian Chengxue also didn’t speak; she continued to gaze at The Crane Orchid being repaired, the cool sea breeze tousling the hair by her ears.
After a long while, Qian Chengxue turned her head, her clear eyes met Su Mo’s, and then she softly said, “Thank you.”
Su Mo was suddenly startled as well, his heart immediately experiencing a trace of panic, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
He then feigned calm and replied, “It’s my duty, it’s nothing.”
Just as Qian Chengxue was about to say something, Sun Li came running from afar with a tense expression.
“Sister Xue!”
“What’s wrong, Sun Li?”
Qian Chengxue’s brow furrowed slightly, she seemed to have a bad premonition.
Su Mo glanced at Sun Li’s expression and knew that something had happened, and that it was no small matter.
“Dawn City has been bombed.”
Sun Li said, out of breath.
“Who did it?”
Qian Chengxue’s expression grew even colder.
“Who else but the official guild of Yd country, the Wet God Guild!
Those guys are now like mad dogs, bombing others everywhere, very arrogant.”
Sun Li spoke, grinding his teeth with frustration.
“Have they bombed a lot of people?”
Su Mo asked with great curiosity.
“They’ve bombed many, they are acting all high and mighty because they have a lot of people and weapons, their arrogance knows no bounds.”
“How are our losses?”
“In terms of personnel, the loss isn’t big since most of our people have come here.
However, our belongings have suffered a great deal, we were already poor, and now after being bombed, our losses are even more severe.”
Sun Li was so upset she felt like crying; wasn’t this adding insult to injury?
Upon hearing this, Qian Chengxue suppressed the anger in her heart.
“I understand, tell the brothers and sisters at Dawn City to rest up a bit.”
“Alright.”
Sun Li could only endure it, after all, the Legion had just gone through turmoil, and survival was the first order of business; there was really no energy to deal with those troublemakers.
If it had been before, they would have at least shown the other party some color.
On the surface, the Tenth Legion didn’t seem much different from before.
But in reality, after the loss of the guild’s support, their combat effectiveness had taken a severe hit, which was quite straightforward.
Before, Qian Chengxue could launch campaigns or wars without any reservations, with massive casualties, she could quickly replenish her ranks through the system, with all expenses covered by her superiors.
She could spend most of her resources on a war, as long as there was profit, she would receive ample replenishments from above.
Additionally, she could take her cut from guild-commissioned production.
Simply put, all she needed to do was to think about how to make her Legion stronger.
But things were different now, as critical supplies were taken away, and the inside of the Legion was hollow, with weapons at hand running out after use, and new recruits too costly to replenish the ranks.
Moreover, if there were massive casualties, her gaming profits would plummet dramatically, and she would even struggle to provide compensation.
To say it was difficult was an understatement, one wrong step could lead to irreparable disaster.
Just as Sun Li was about to leave, Qian Chengxue suddenly called out to her.
“Wait, Sun Li.”
Sun Li stopped and looked expectantly at Qian Chengxue.
“Sister Xue, are we going to take care of them?”
“No, tell the brothers and sisters in Dawn City to be vigilant, the other side probably won’t bomb just once, they might do it repeatedly.”
Qian Chengxue reminded, as she had been closely monitoring the situation lately, and the Wet God Guild was indeed a bit different from other guilds, their modus operandi was unpredictable.
But Qian Chengxue was clear about one thing, these guys had been very arrogant lately, causing several large-scale conflicts.
In the end, they emerged victorious every time, with many smaller foreign guilds beaten down badly.
It’s not that the players in the guild were particularly strong in combat, but rather, they had an overwhelming number of people, and accordingly, more weapons to collect.
