Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Leapfrog Development Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Leapfrog Development Actually, after Starfire extinguished the first Alien guild outpost, players lost all hope of crushing Starfire, and the guilds unionized to intercept Starfire knew they had no chance left.

Moreover, with the tragic experience of the Berserker guild, especially for ordinary members, they really didn’t want to continue fighting with Starfire.

After all, the Follower System had just started, and not only the average players but even the top players were almost bankrupt after scraping together enough money to secure what they considered the most elite follower team.

But just when they had gotten their hands on it and hadn’t truly gotten to know or use it yet, they were faced with being killed, which obviously nobody could endure.

Although from the guild’s perspective they might want to keep fighting, the guilds also had their own difficulties.

The thing is that Starfire’s timing was too perfect; everyone was busy pioneering the great cathedral’s backyard, and here they were instigating guild wars. Never mind winning or losing, even if they won, they’d likely end up crippled.

Of course, with several guilds involved, if they kept on fighting, no matter how powerful Starfire’s troops were, there would definitely be casualties every time, and as the battles wore on, eventually the followers would be wiped out.

However, nobody had a damn clue who Starfire would hit first, and no one wanted to take the fall for another guild, least of all let their own guild be completely debilitated for the sake of others. What a joke, their blockade of Starfire was for what? It was all to get the first kill.

Now, apart from those two dozen guilds, the rest of the guilds and players were steadily strategizing and aiming for the first kill, and when it came time to claim it, they also watched the livestream and laughed at the others’ blunders.

As a result, naturally, everyone lost the desire to play. Some guilds even contemplated surrender before the battle began, but the moment Li Yao opened his mouth, he demanded 500,000. “500,000 my ass, 500,000.”

Then Starfire invaded the outpost only to find that it was cleaner than a place licked by dogs, with anything that could be carried or taken away gone without a trace.

Starfire could only vent all its fury on the buildings, smashing the outpost into pieces. The same happened with the next two dozen guilds; they simply abandoned their outposts. “Smash them if you want.”

In three days, basically no one was killed; Starfire simply turned into a demolition crew, utterly destroying the outposts of more than twenty guilds.

Of course, except for Li Yao’s dissatisfaction, including Sister Li, everyone was very pleased. In their view, even if they couldn’t secure the first kill this time, what did it matter? After this battle, Starfire’s name shook the ancient gods; from now on, no one would think Starfire, this large guild, lacked strength.

And indeed, it was so. Starfire’s guild warehouse was already known as the best in the ancient gods. After this looting spree, even though they hit only a few guild warehouses, as the loot integrated with Starfire’s already immense warehouse, it became even more luxurious. It could be said that the combined resources of four or five super guild warehouses might still not match up to Starfire’s, and this was with Sister Li locking away the most advanced and precious materials in the guild leader’s warehouse.

Ordinary members drooled over the guild warehouse; there were just too many good things.

As for the likes of Dandan, Fruit Knight, they drooled over the guild leader’s warehouse; whether it was materials or equipment, everything there was top-notch among the fineries.

Sister Li constantly calculated military achievements and distributed some guild contributions, especially to the players from the affiliated guilds, who were incredibly envious, claiming that the Starfire guild didn’t treat them as their own, and vowed to be included in the next external operations.

After discussing with the elders, Li Yao agreed to this matter and guaranteed that those who obtained the corresponding military achievements could formally join Starfire.

Including the affiliated guilds, in fact, there were hundreds of thousands of players using the guild warehouse, and not only did Starfire itself gain quite a bit of merit to exchange for desired items, but the rest, including Starfire’s own players, were donating their own items in exchange for the guild, getting what they wanted.

In reality, even though Starfire’s exchange rates were quite generous, exchanging items for guild contribution points was still very profitable, and many of the items they didn’t need were extremely top-notch.

Players would normally sell to the auction house to get Gold Coins, but with Starfire possessing so many fine and top-notch items, which were the treasures of several guilds, members exchanged them frenziedly, which in turn made Starfire guild a truly virtuous cycle.

The guild warehouse was originally set up as a benefit, but in practice, it was a burden for the guild, yet Starfire’s situation was completely the opposite, turning from a burden into a profit, which surprised Li Yao greatly.

In fact, Li Yao had all the permissions and could take whatever he wanted. Qin Feng Yi, Sister Li, and the Unparalleled Enchantress enjoyed secondary permissions, directly taking many items and Gold Coins, and although the elders didn’t have such extensive rights, they could get whatever they wanted just by talking to Sister Li and the others, and they didn’t hold back.

The elite teams, on the other hand, received a measured amount of guild contribution points. This tiered treatment satisfied Li Yao greatly, and the members were all overjoyed. In fact, the Starfire members were so well-off that no other guild had such benefits, and the desire to join Starfire surged into a frenzy, instantly resulting in many more sub-guilds.

The Gold Coins plundered, along with those obtained from continuous sales, led to Starfire unknowingly breaking through the massive sum of one million. This was mainly due to the majority of goods still being in stock. Sister Li estimated that once all the goods were sold, Starfire’s Gold Coins would likely surpass three million.

This was a number that drove everyone crazy, causing even Li Yao’s heart to leap uncontrollably. The elders who knew the news practically had stars in their eyes.

Moreover, Sister Li estimated that with this sum of Gold Coins, they could cater to the guild members well. When the grand maritime trade kicked off, Starfire’s income would enter a golden age. The trade would not only generate income from the trade itself but also enable the purchase of fine goods that could be sold at various shops at Spark Station,

It’s worth mentioning that Starfire does not accept investments, so it’s impossible for the guild to occupy all of the market space at the Station. Therefore, it’s stipulated that elite members or those who have earned a certain amount of guild contributions qualify to apply for shop ownership. In reality, everyone who joined Starfire was elite. Many also had significant assets and influence in real life, and owning a shop in their own guild was a privilege that investors craved, further bolstering Starfire’s cohesion–after all, everyone would fight tooth and nail to protect their shop assets.

Ordinary members also had the chance to obtain a business permit for a shop based on their achievements. At the top of the guild warehouse were two permits for numerous spare shops at the Station. As long as one had enough merit, even an average person could strive to get them, attracting many players without deep backgrounds in reality.

Continuous battles were enhancing the cohesion, and all kinds of benefits and advantages were tightly binding everyone together, leading to a very favorable situation for Starfire.

Of course, Li Yao felt some regret. He originally thought that after wiping out so many guilds, he could have earned over a million units of energy. However, after the war, the resources Li Yao could mobilize were still less than one hundred thousand, only a little over seventy thousand.

Also, Li Yao finally had time to use his Heroic Altar and obtained the first Hero from the Worm Tribe, which was Li Yao’s preparation for breaking new ground in the backyard of the great cathedral…
