Chapter 381 - Chapter 381 Chapter 368 Shared City (First Update)

Chapter 381: Chapter 368: Shared City (First Update) Chapter 381: Chapter 368: Shared City (First Update) The guild system of the Holy Spirit is the same as other game guild systems, featuring a guild-level system.

The levels range from one to ten, and each level increase in guild rank boosts the guild’s attribute bonuses, guild warehouse, and guild welfare.

As for the number of members in the guild, it remains the same at each level. Some in the forums are asking why the developers wouldn’t introduce something to increase the guild member capacity?

Jiang Qiao’s response was… they were already working on it.

Currently, in the Holy Spirit, there are only seven level-ten guilds, which are the main guilds established by the seven clubs in China. Next, the level-nine guilds include player-formed guilds like the Dream Marriage Committee, which aren’t managed by organizations.

There are many ways to increase a guild’s level. Today, General Silver had summoned the presidents of the other five level-ten guilds in the Holy Spirit, all of whom were old acquaintances of General Silver.

“Boss Lv! What investment are you thinking about making us go into this time?”

The president of the Night Sprint, Cruel Moonlight, directly asked General Silver in front of everyone.

“Investment? Why do you say again… Have I ever tricked you into investing in something?” General Silver questioned Cruel Moonlight with puzzlement.

“No, but the last time you issued a massive release of IDs in Holy Spirit, you suddenly started paying ordinary players salaries, making our recruitment of new members drop by at least fifty percent. This time it’s even more.”

The president of the Gray Eyes Association… Gray White Eyes was particularly concerned about why Dancing Nuclear was recruiting newbies on such a large scale and even willing to spend a lot of money on salaries to attract them.

“Damn! Old Mousy, had you not mentioned it, I would have forgotten! Now newbies entering our guild keep asking if we pay a salary! Damn! I’m just a club handyman; how do I have the authority to pay them a salary!” Can Xin became rather irate when he talked about his recent experiences recruiting new members.

The ecological circle of Holy Spirit had changed due to General Silver’s involvement. For the talented new players who had just joined Holy Spirit, Dancing Nuclear’s willingness to spend significant money on nurturing newbies was a great help.

However, for the other big guilds that wanted to recruit new members and absorb fresh blood, what General Silver did undoubtedly made… recruiting an extremely expensive affair.

Unless they are die-hard fans of that team, any newbie with a bit of strength and looking to join a guild would choose Dancing Nuclear.

“Because they are indeed worth the price. I have many things to discuss with you this time, but the first thing on the agenda isn’t about recruiting newbies; it’s about this event.”

General Silver inexplicably brought in a wooden crate, placed it on the ground, and stood on it, towering a head above all the players. There were quite a few players inside the Dancing Nuclear stronghold. The most pitiful was the new president of Nan Feng Howling, who, due to a quest, had awakened a transformation into an Elf Knight, making her only about 1.2 meters tall.

Therefore, the president of Nan Feng Howling, Lake Fairy, had to sit atop another female player’s shoulders to barely see General Silver.

“Mr. Lv, are you referring to this NPC conquest event? We should be in fair competition during this event…”

Lake Fairy called out from a distance. Nan Feng Howling might be the least noticeable of the Chinese professional clubs; they could barely make it close to the playoffs, but were eliminated around fifth or sixth place with no appearance in the world championships.

It’s safe to say they had proved what it meant to be a mid-tier team from the very start!

This trait had continued into the game; Nan Feng Howling was one of the largest guilds in the game, yet it was hard to spot them in any major event in Holy Spirit.

“Competition? There’s no need to compete.” General Silver cut straight to the point, “Everyone is participating in this event for the city-building stone, but we at Dancing Nuclear are not planning to monopolize it.”

“General Silver! It sounds like you’re saying you’ve already secured first place in this event… And isn’t there only one city-building stone?” Can Xin listened and felt a bit confused.

But what he couldn’t deny was… the final winner of this event would very likely be between Cola Frenzy and Dancing Nuclear Guild, because of the power of capital.

The presidents of the other five major guilds were just errand runners for their clubs, and the guilds were the logistics of the clubs, not the main focus.

Only Dancing Nuclear Guild and Cola Frenzy had the support of capital behind them, with bosses Yin and Bubble respectively, and this NPC affection strategy battle was truly a matter of who spent more money winning.

This put the five major guilds in a very disadvantageous position although they could compete.

“The City Building Stone may not be shareable, but the city built can be shared. I don’t think Dancing Nuclear Guild can monopolize the Spirit’s city-building system, so I’ve decided to invite you all to join in the upcoming construction of the first player-built capital city of Spirit.”

Though Yin started with hotpot, his family was in the mobile phone business… So Yin had also presided over several mobile phone launch events as a CEO, and at this moment, he treated it as if it was one of those launch events.

A launch event called Shared City.

“Mr. Lu, let me remind you that although the City Building Stone might be hard to obtain once the system is activated, it isn’t the only item available.” Gray Eyes, whose character was similar to Mo Shigui, was an old fox in online games and he focused more on the game data aspect.

“There is a high likelihood that other activities to obtain the City Building Stone will be introduced in the future, so your proposal is probably… meaningless from the start.” The words of Gray Eyes brought guild leaders like Can Xin, who were somewhat tempted, back to their senses instantly.

If the city building system is so important, it’s unlikely to be limited to just one stone, right? If they couldn’t be the first guild to build a city, being the second or third wouldn’t be bad.

“Of course there won’t be just one, but when do you think the next activity for the City Building Stone will occur?” Yin asked looking at Gray Eyes.

“Based on the current update cycle of Spirit, I’d estimate within fifteen days,” Gray Eyes said.

“My answer is half a year, or possibly even longer,” Yin spoke as he directly posted a thread on the Spirit forum during the conversation. The thread was a recent post by the Curious Scholar Team titled “Backstory of the City Building Stone and Preliminary Analysis of the City Building System.”

Not many had responded to the thread on the forum, but after Yin @everyone, everyone clicked in and read it through carefully.

The content of the post was what Curious Scholar had previously told Yin…

“This is just a setting in the game’s background, but from the perspectives of game development and planning, producing a City Building Stone every six months is just too…” Gray Eyes muttered to himself.

“We, Sovereign Over the World, will join,” said Qi Junzi, who had been silent till now, “Now that Sovereign Over the World has severed financial ties with the club, Mr. Yin, don’t expect any economic aid from us.”

“Offering labor is also good, what about the other guilds?” Yin looked at the other guild leaders and asked again.

“Damn! Why launch such an activity about strategizing NPCs, alright! We, Abyss Temple, will join too. We’re fine with fighting, but this damn strategizing NPC activity, we’re probably just dead fish; better to latch onto some benefits.”

At this moment, Can Xin actually chose to submit to Dancing Nuclear Guild, because Abyss Temple was a martial guild, and the members’ style was primarily focused on combat.

Therefore, Can Xin had some realistic considerations, as getting into the top ten in this event’s rewards was questionable for them; better to hang on to Dancing Nuclear Guild’s coattails for some benefits.

“We trust Mr. Lu’s reputation in the circle, but what do we need to do after joining, and how will the benefits be distributed after the city is built? Please clarify this,”

Gray Eyes was very calm. Although the eight large guilds interacted, except for Sovereign Over the World, the other guilds were essentially products of capital investment. If it involved a significant decision concerning benefits, Gray Eyes, as the president, had no authority to make a decision.

“The task after joining is simple, as I’ve also mentioned to everyone before. That is, to recruit as many deities from the City of Gods into our own strongholds as possible! Our first step is to empty out the entire City of Gods as much as possible.”
