“Hehe, to be able to own such a weapon at level 10, this was also very uncommon back in my past life,” Chu You muttered to himself. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the sacred weapon at the side. That was a weapon belonging to the Mage Master. Chu You looked at the shocking and terrifying properties of the weapon. As he continued looking, his expression slowly darkened.

I can’t compete. If I compete, this weapon that I spent 150 thousand to buy will end up being useless!

Why, why aren’t you a Battle Halberd? Chu You thought with hatred, to the point where his heart had started to fantasize.

Chu You knew that if someone used this sacred weapon to kill someone at this stage…hehe, one fireball magic would be able to take away a warrior’s life. An Area Effect Damage, that would be a seckill.

Wherever I am, there would be mountains of corpses and bloodbaths! This was the frightening portrayal of the sacred weapon.

Chu You kept the platinum weapon in a slanted way behind him and walked out. At this moment, the distant horizon was inviting dawn. A wisp of golden sunshine looked over this town above the clouds. This Taoist temple with a celestial atmosphere looked even more aesthetic and dreamy.

It was soon going to be daytime in the game, and Chu You arrived at the portal. After opening it, looking at the utterly empty conveyor line, Chu You’s expression was calm.

The portal in the game was similar to Diablo. Except for the big cities in the country, players everywhere else could spend their gold coins and strategic resources straightaway, to connect with each other. Other portals in other small towns, as well as other portals hidden in the outdoor maps, had to be discovered and found by the players themselves. After finding them, they would have to notify the management level of their respective guilds, so that they could connect their portals. This way, guild members would be able to deliver directly to those small towns and hidden portals from a specific map. This would save a lot of time. This was also extremely important strategy-wise.

There was also a special type of portal amongst them. This type of portal was the temporary portal made by players. This was the special life skill of guilds. After it was made, it would allow a large number of the guild members to reach there in an instant, if the portal was made not far from the place where they intended to fight a Boss.

However, the energy and resources required to make a portal was extremely astonishing. Without perseverance and resources, it was very hard to do this. Temporary portals were also differentiated based on their grades. The higher the grade of a portal, the higher the maximum limit of players being allowed to be teleported. The number of players from the guild being transported would be even more.

For players who could make high-level temporary portals, they were called ‘Strategic Talent’ in Heaven. Their own worth was already considered to be a type of strategic resource.

This group of people was usually the target that every big guild would try to hide to their utmost ability. They could never be revealed to outsiders.

Chu You looked at the opened portal. There were lots of dotted lines on it. All these dotted lines indicated the connections between every big city in Yan nation and the location of his own guild.

The dotted lines could not be used. They could only be lit up by players in order for guild members to use the portal.

Chu You firstly lit up Wangshan town.

System: According to our judgment, from your current location to Wangshan town, you would need to spend 10 thousand gold coins to open up the teleport channel. Strategic resource mercury x115, gem stone x40. Do you still want to open up the teleportation channel?

“Open.” After paying the resources, a teleportation channel connecting his guild and Wangshan town had been opened permanently. The grey dotted lines lit up and became solidified, indicating that this portal was available to use.

Even the nearest Wangshan town required 10 thousand gold coins. One could well imagine how many resources he would need to spend if he wanted to open another teleportation channel to other big cities which were much further away…

Obviously, Chu You did not satisfy that condition. He continued to open up more channels, opening all the teleportation channels in Yan nation. Instantly, all the grey dotted lines in the portal lit up altogether.

As for the portals of those small towns, and even those portals which were hidden in some specific areas, he would have to rely on his guild members to discover them…

As seen from the above-mentioned, those players with no capabilities who intended to start a guild just because of their zeal alone, expanding their influence and contending for supremacy over the world would be…

It would honestly be a joke.

Finally, it was time to get out. Chu You took a look at his guild, then he activated the portal and straightaway teleported to Wangshan town. At this point, his red name had already disappeared. Chu You stuttered into the town. Not long after, he entered a state office building.

…

It was very cold, really very cold there. Apart from Flying Sparrow Zhao, the remaining pretty female players’ expressions all looked unnatural.

That Silent Night…he actually rejected us. This was what we would never have thought of…who are we? We are a group of girls after all.

Why did you reject us? Who will tell us what this is all about?

Isn’t a large number of players needed to join in order to start a guild? Followed by expanding your influence and dominating the world?

The higher the number of female players in a guild, the easier it would be to attract those male players who had not joined the guild. This was the charm of a guild. They couldn’t figure out Chu You’s way of doing things.

Their hearts must have been shouting out, We are not flower vases, we are actual professional top players!

Please we beg you…look at our skills before making a decision?

However it was very clear, there was not such a chance…

“I have a sort of desolation that makes me choke with sobs,” one of the pretty female players said sorrowfully. Her efficiency in fighting monsters also decreased by a lot.

“Hmph, if that man saw us in real life, I reckon that he would change his mind,” another pretty female player said in self-consolation. She was still quite confident in her looks.

Although they wanted to enter Chu You’s guild because of their ulterior intentions, and were not sincere, it was very obvious that Chu You’s rejection tore apart their arrogant mentality cruelly. This left them with a huge blow. To be honest, they had never once been rejected before by any player.

In the past, as long as they slightly revealed the intention to join a guild, all those guild leaders would eagerly beg them to join their guild. With a pretty female player in the game, that would equate to the existence of a popular player.

“Bright Night, why did your good friend reject them” Can you tell me the reason?” Flying Sparrow Zhao maintained her smile as before.

“There were no reasons, he just rejected them straight away. I don’t understand him either.” Lin Luoer was also very helpless; she could not understand what Chu You was thinking.

“Oh? Are you guys an actual guild organization in real life?” Flying Sparrow Zhao thought that the other party was either a guild that existed in real life, or they could be another upscale studio.

“Uh, nope..”

“Huh? Then can you take a look at how many people are in your guild now?”

“Oh, I’ll take a look.” Lin Luoer opened the guild’s interface page. One of the guild member counts showed that at the moment, ‘Immortal”s number of members was 3/1500. This meant that right now, there were only 3 members in the number one guild in the world. And that was including Chu You himself…

“Only 3 people…” Lin Luoer was in a daze as well as she muttered.

Flying Sparrow Zhao’s eyes flashed a look; her instincts were telling her that there was something wrong.

“Bright Night, let me ask you a private question. Are you and Silent Night a couple?” Flying Sparrow Zhao asked Lin Luoer privately. For such a personal question, she definitely had to privately ask her.

“Nope…”

“Then what’s your relationship with him? I’m just curious…then why did he insist on adding only you and the other player?”

Lin Luoer was actually already on guard internally. When she saw that Chu You only recruited Kill Leader and her, she already felt that something was up.

“We’re just friends. As for why he decided to do this, I’m not sure either.”

“Just friends? Let me tell you, he already represents the existence of a ‘God’ in many people’s eyes. The strength behind this is big to the point of being astonishing. And you, to be honest, I don’t think that you have any particular strengths enough for him to recruit you into his guild. Just because you guys are friends? I trust my own feeling more.”

“What feeling?” Lin Luoer was slightly taken aback.

“I feel that he might have already started to like you,” Flying Sparrow Zhao said with a composed expression.

Upon hearing this sentence, Lin Luoer’s heart skipped a beat. That rich son would actually like her?

Seeing Lin Luoer’s dazed look, Flying Sparrow Zhao continued to chat with her privately. “How’s that, I’m not wrong, right? At least you have this feeling in your heart, right?”

“No, you’ve guessed wrong.” Lin Luoer understood her circumstances too well. But…there was a strange thought haunting her head persistently.

Why did Chu You choose me of all people to play the game with him for ten years? And I even signed an unimaginable contract. Could this be…true?

Suddenly, Lin Luoer’s face became slightly red, and her heartbeats got somewhat faster as well.

“Quick, come and add blood!” the pretty warrior female from the front shouted.

“Oh, okay.” Lin Luoer immediately got pulled back to reality from her imagination, and she started to add blood.

Seeing Lin Luoer’s expression, Flying Sparrow Zhao thought that her guess was more or less right. However, this was only one side. She was still puzzled by that man’s strategy in developing his guild. His actions were obscure and hard to understand to others.

After killing this monster, a pretty girl said loudly, “Stop fighting, it ruins my appetite. We already have enough honey with us. Let’s go look for that NPC.”

“Yeah, after we find that NPC, we can go offline and eat breakfast after we exchange the honey we collected.”

“Don’t need to search, I know where it is. He…told me.” The mission NPC would definitely be found. By currying favor now, it was a smart way of doing things for Lin Luoer.

“Eh? Ha, that’s great. Let’s go.”

A crowd who just came back from a rewarding journey, straightaway ran towards the coordinate point which Lin Luoer had just told them. They left this block of honeycomb.

However, unlike others, Flying Sparrow Zhao had a dignified look.

Because she had come to realize a problem. Since Silent Night knew the location of that mission NPC, this meant that he had played here to level up his power before. However, what was scary if you think carefully about it…where was this place? This was a honeycomb!

Along with the other players and her, they had died here a few times. Only after their team had perished here many times did they finally figure out some tricks, allowing them to fight and move forward steadily.

What about Silent Night? He was alone!

…

“Demolish, how are we gonna build a house if we don’t demolish first? How are we going to earn anything if we don’t demolish?” Chu You said to the Yan nation’s NPC in a very imposing manner. His purpose was to build a few buildings with specific functions in areas with an excellent geographical location. This was an easy money-making project. A reborn player should have the strategic foresight of a reborn player.

“Yes, yes, you are right. I’ll go settle it now.” At the moment, there was only one player, Chu You, in Wangshan town. The saying about there being prime locations was completely false. The location that Chu You had chosen was the few blocks of residential houses at the crossroad of the point of return to the town. Based on Chu You’s insight, that was the best.

As for now, that location was extremely deserted. But Chu You believed that in the near future, that would be a bustling route. It would not be justifiable if he did not build a few function-specific buildings here.

System: The location that you want to purchase costs 50,000 gold coins.

Chu You immediately paid the required amount of gold coins. Chu You instantly knew that if other players who could see the commercial opportunities in this got here first, it would be impossible for the price of this location to not increase by ten times. That was if he were to purchase the location from them.

Not long after, Chu You built his guild building at the already vacant area: Smith house, it was already of the level 5 form.

When players trained their life skills at Chu You’s Smith house, not only would their level of proficiency and experience increase greatly, but their success rate of making things would also increase by quite a bit.

Then, Chu You set up the payment mode. One hour would cost 20 gold coins. A level 5 Smith house would be able to house 100 players.

As for the other piece of vacant land, Chu You built a guild trading center there. Then he took out and placed both the level 10 Green Vessel and Red Vessel equipment he purchased from the Treasure Pavilion and listed their prices there. The reason why Chu You did this was to garner popularity, reflecting his stance of wanting to compete with Yan nation’s official trading center to fight for market share.

If players wanted to put their items on sale at the trading center, they would have to pay the handling fee. The official trading center of Yan nation would take 1% of the listed price of the item as the handling fee. Naturally, Chu You set his handling fee at 0.9%. This meant that no matter what items the players wanted to sell, all they needed to do was to list out their price and place it at Chu You’s trading center. No matter if they ended up getting sold or not, Chu You’s guild would immediately earn 0.9% of the handling fee of the listed price.

If a player listed a weapon that he wanted to sell at 5000 gold coins, as long as he put his item up there, 0.9% of the handling fee would be collected instantly.

And one more thing that had to be made clear was that this was completely fair and square. The guild trading would be managed by the system. The founder of this center would not be able to do anything to interfere with any of the products here. If the guild were to suddenly perish, or if the founder suddenly canceled the trading center, then the products of players in the trading center would appear back in the respective bags of the players automatically.

Lastly, Chu You listed an astronomical price for his sacred weapon, the ‘Six Godly Degrees of Rotating Disks.’ He hung it up on the guild’s trading center. The handling fee immediately went into his wallet.

After finishing all this, Chu You teleported to the next big town. According to the course of action mentioned above, he continued to seize the opportunity!
