Chapter 137: Chapter 121: Shop System and Newbies Online (Super Chapter)
"The second thing is to quickly set up stalls and sell this round’s loot in the next few days. It doesn’t matter if the prices are slightly lower, as long as we can buy the golden location shops, we’ll be able to earn back double the amount later."
"Qingwei, you’re responsible for the first task. Figure out a way to gather more personnel from the guild headquarters, so more people can enter Descent of High Martial to earn points, giving us more time for training and improvement in the secret realms."
"Zhushen, you’re responsible for the second task. No matter what, make sure to buy those few gold location shops before other teams do."
Knowing that Red Moon Mountain will be developed into the first player town, anyone with a bit of foresight understands that these central location shops will surely become extremely valuable in the future.
Buying them now will definitely turn into a gold and silver mine in the future. However, the prices for these central location shops are certainly not cheap, and with the black-market style of the Martial Arts Hall, Celestial Might’s current financial resources are probably insufficient. We need to quickly cash in the loot we’ve obtained to raise the funds to purchase the shops.
Following Luo Wushang’s instructions, the members of Celestial Might present all started to take action.
"Hope we can make it in time." Luo Wushang said, watching the people leaving, feeling the considerable pressure of being the vice president of Celestial Might.
The other two teams in Descent of High Martial don’t even count as competitors in her eyes. Once Descent of High Martial goes public, Celestial Might, with its deep background, is not something that individual teams can compare to. They are completely in different leagues.
It’s just that Fang Zhen and One Leaf Floating Cloud consider them as opponents.
They simply don’t realize that, in her eyes, this is just child’s play. Celestial Might’s true opponent is not even in Descent of High Martial right now.
Currently, Pilgrimage is declining day by day, and the large guilds in Pilgrimage have also started eyeing up new games one by one. If they can’t grow quickly in Descent of High Martial before being targeted by the major guilds, the difficulty of expanding afterward will definitely be a hundred to a thousand times greater than it is now.
And while the players on Red Moon Mountain are in a frenzy to raise money, on Blue Star, in Jiangnan City.
In the city center stands a magnificent building with 300 floors, towering like a giant on the busiest street of Jiangnan City, overlooking this super metropolis with a population of over 30 million, and it’s also one of Jiangnan City’s landmark buildings.
Heaven Building!
The headquarters of Mythical Paradise, one of the five giant guilds of Pilgrimage.
Although it was already dark at this time, the building was brightly lit. More than ten thousand members of Mythical Paradise were either undergoing daily special training inside the building or fighting on the front lines of Pilgrimage, organizing various management tasks and events within Pilgrimage, just like a super giant enterprise.
And at this time, in the top floor conference hall, several core high-level members of Mythical Paradise were gathered together.
"Fanchen, you suddenly called us over for a meeting this time, is there something going on?" A middle-aged man in his sixties, but looking only forty-something with a dignified demeanor, looked at a young crew-cut man at the head of the conference table, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
Lu Fanchen!
The super genius of Mythical Paradise, known alongside Celestial Might’s Luo Wushang in Pilgrimage, also the youngest elder of Mythical Paradise.
If it weren’t for Lu Fanchen suddenly convening this meeting, he, the president, definitely wouldn’t have come.
"President, I’ve recently investigated that Celestial Might has already invested a significant amount of resources into a new game called Descent of High Martial." Lu Fanchen explained, "I initially didn’t pay much attention to this game, since its promotional claim of 100% virtuality seemed hard to believe. However, after I experienced the trial test of Descent of High Martial and saw that Celestial Might’s Luo Wushang and Zhao Hu had both entered the game, I felt it was very necessary for us, Mythical Paradise, to also quickly enter Descent of High Martial."
"Is this game that powerful?" President Kong Yuanhai was somewhat surprised, "You should know that we are fully preparing to transition to Eternal Immortal Path right now. You should be more aware than I am of the importance of that game."
"President, I know this is sudden, but Descent of High Martial is really not simple. Just from its trial test, its virtual degree already doesn’t lose to Eternal Immortal Path, and Celestial Might’s vice president Luo Wushang even brought along Elder Zhao Hu. I think the future popularity of Descent of High Martial will not be any less than that of Eternal Immortal Path." Lu Fanchen said very firmly, "Now, because the news about Eternal Immortal Path has leaked, I fear that many large guilds and major powers have set their sights on it. Once the public test starts, the competition will undoubtedly surpass all other virtual games in the nation."
"So I think instead of putting all our hopes on one game, Eternal Immortal Path, we should allocate some resources to Descent of High Martial. That way, even if we can’t reach the heights of Pilgrimage with Eternal Immortal Path, we have Descent of High Martial as a fallback."
"Alright, I understand." President Kong Yuanhai, after pondering for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "How many people do you need?"
As Lu Fanchen mentioned, because the news about Eternal Immortal Path has leaked, many top-tier major guilds are now aware of its unique features. Many popular masterpiece game guilds are likely to enter Eternal Immortal Path, and even for them, Mythical Paradise, there is little confidence in becoming a giant force within it.
"I need at least two elders and ten thousand guild experts to quickly enter Descent of High Martial, taking advantage of the version update today." Lu Fanchen said without hesitation.
"You really go all out, asking for two elders at once." Kong Yuanhai didn’t hesitate too long, saying directly, "Alright, I’ll have two elders join you, but asking for ten thousand experts is impossible, the time is too short. At most, I can organize five thousand members for you before midnight."
"Thank you, President." Lu Fanchen nodded, evidently very satisfied with the current outcome.
"Alright, go prepare." Kong Yuanhai waved his hand, somewhat helplessly.
Even though Lu Fanchen spoke with such righteousness, Kong Yuanhai knew very well that Lu Fanchen wanted to surpass Luo Wushang, after all, they are two great geniuses of the same era and have never distinguished who is superior. Now that Lu Fanchen learned Luo Wushang has transitioned to Descent of High Martial, he understandably wants to compare.
Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, the full moon hung high.
Lin Qi led three medium-sized transport trucks, bringing a new batch of Energy Ore back to the Martial Arts Hall.
"This time, with these three truckloads of Energy Ore, converting twenty resting quarters should not be a problem." Lin Qi glanced at the players who were transporting the Energy Ore, sighing over the severe shortage of manpower at Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
He was currently in a dire need of people.
Not to mention the construction of various housing and shops on Red Moon Mountain requiring manpower, even just managing Red Moon Mountain in the future would require at least a hundred people to maintain law and order in the trading area. Additionally, mining the Energy Ore Vein requires a large workforce, and when players eventually become Martial Artists, the demand for Energy Ore will be extremely high, necessitating early preparation.
And these tasks cannot be entrusted to outsiders.
The current 110 players, even if they were split in half, still wouldn’t be enough.
At 2 a.m., in the quiet confinement room of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, one figure after another formed out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, several confinement rooms were filled.
Another batch of newbies officially came online.
