"Why didn't Dolly come?"
"He was recruited by the Quartet. Du Duode promised to give him 5,000 contribution points and two gold coins every month."
"What?"
The dozen or so players gathered in a corner of Duofei City Square suddenly became excited.
They are a group of gamers who stick together, and Dolly is a core member of their team. His departure should not be a big blow to the team!
"This traitor!"
"We agreed to crush the nobles together, but then turned around and treated him like a dog. How could I be so blind as to think of him as my brother?"
"Next time you see him, kill this bastard."
"Okay, okay, let's all understand it. It's not like you don't know about his family's conditions. He didn't even leave when Du Duode offered him hardware before. But this time he leaves... In fact, it's understandable."
Captain Okata spoke up and defended Dolly who left.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
To be honest, the guild function updated in [Conquest] this time has really dampened the enthusiasm of quite a few ordinary players.
Let’s not talk about other functions of the guild for now.
Just the fact that "merit points can be paid" is a devastating blow to ordinary players.
It can be said that the fairness of [Conquering the Second Plane] in attracting ordinary players will be seriously challenged!
Previously, gold players wanted to replace high-level golems.
Either hire a gold farming team to make the final blow;
Or make money directly.
The former is time-consuming and labor-intensive; the latter is costly.
No matter how rich Krypton gold players are, this money does not come from strong winds, so they also want to save costs, so they gradually find a balance between the two.
High play is all about balance.
Hire high-level players to not only practice your skills and enjoy the game, but also save time and earn merit points as quickly as possible.
However, not all high-level players will accept employment.
After all, that would be a loss of freedom.
With the support of "exchange coupons", many high-end players simply don't want to spend money on gold.
If you're short of money, go for a walk by yourself and earn money while standing, so why bother with that birdiness
It is this group of high-level players that resists the money-spending players and keeps the game relatively balanced.
But it's different now.
The emergence of "payable merit points" in guilds makes high-level players eligible to be worshiped like gold-earning players.
The price is just to join the guild and sacrifice a certain amount of freedom.
But what they get is freedom!
In the past, half of the game time had to be spent on "conservative hunting" for merit points.
For example, go to torture vegetables, hunt ordinary orcs, lone orcs...etc.
I simply don’t have the time, ability, or courage to take on high-level tasks.
Now, with the support of the guild, you can confidently and boldly conquer advanced tasks. Although the risks are high, the rewards are high!
You must know that in [Conquest], the real good things are not for sale and will only be given out after completing specific tasks.
"How about we find a way to raise money and form a guild?"
"I heard that someone on the forum has already launched a crowdfunding campaign."
The team was silent for a moment, and someone suggested.
"Crowdfunding? Haha, 10,000 gold coins! Let alone 10,000 gold coins, we're afraid we won't even be able to come up with a single gold coin."
Someone was getting angry again.
However, although the words sound ugly, they are true.
Ten thousand gold coins, equivalent to one hundred million coppers, can buy one hundred thousand bicycles. Who can spend so much money just to set up a guild
No one but the nobility.
"I see there is quite a lot of land next to the four magic towers. Why did the God of the Internet price it at ten thousand? Wouldn't it be good to have one thousand, one hundred, or even ten gold coins?"
"Yes! Now there are only twenty or thirty guilds, and they are all established by the famous nobles. It's a waste to continue like this. I was ruled by them in the empire, but it's still the same here. It's better to just mess around and make money. !”
Someone complained.
"The God of the Internet is here to occupy the Dophi plane!"
Captain Okata, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of the whole team.
"In the last trainee magician assessment, the God of the Internet built four magic towers in the Dophi plane in one go, but relying solely on magic towers for defense consumes too much magic power. Even if tasks are assigned to players, players may not be able to work hard. Don’t you see that very few people are doing defense tasks now?”
"Nowadays, everyone prefers to sneak attack on the orcs' rear area. Although it is cumbersome, it is better because it is less dangerous."
"Now the God of the Internet has launched a guild, and the headquarters has been designated to be located next to the magic tower. It is clearly to bind players to the magic tower! After all, if you want to keep your guild, you must protect the magic tower."
"In addition, the land around the magic tower also needs to be developed. Instead of doing it by yourself, it is better to leave it directly to the players and develop it on their own. Maybe it will breed other wonderful things."
Okata's words shocked everyone.
Everyone only looks at the problem from their own perspective.
Unexpectedly, this small update turned out to be a big move for the God of the Internet to conquer the Dophi plane.
"So, from now on we can only choose a guild to join?"
"No!" Okata shook his head: "The God of the Internet will not abandon anyone! He is just motivating everyone to give full play to their best advantages. Just like the last krypton gold, didn't he also open redemption coupons?"
"Captain, what do you think the God of the Internet will do?"
Okata's eyes shine brightly:
"The advantages of the player guild are too great. If we want to offset the advantages of the player guild, we can only introduce functions similar to the player guild. Or, compensatory benefits."
The voice just fell.
"Ding dong!"
A system prompt sounded in everyone's ears.
Everyone looked at each other and quickly opened the system panel.
The next second, everyone looked at Okata in shock!
"Damn it, it's amazing!"
"Captain, you are so prophetic!"
Sure enough, the Internet God has updated with new features.
—He takes care of ordinary players!
This update is clearly the mercenary system.
That is, any player can spend one thousand merit points to create a mercenary group.
The mercenary group enjoys almost all the functions of the player guild.
The only difference is that the mercenary group does not have a fixed territory, and it cannot occupy territory.
This means that the public property of the mercenary group needs to be stored in the magic tower, and it cannot engage in commercial activities.
However, even so, for ordinary players, the mercenary group function is still sufficient.
"Oh yeah!"
"I knew it was impossible for the God of the Internet to abandon ordinary players!"
"Are you so amazing Okata?"
"Captain, hurry up, create a mercenary group, I want to be the first to join!"
Team Okata cheered.
All kinds of excited wolf howling sounds came from the Duofei City Square.
For a time, voices praising the God of the Internet arose one after another!
Amid the excitement, Okata, who had just established the mercenary group, suddenly said to his teammates: "You guys should explore the mercenary function first, and I'll be back soon."
"Huh? What's wrong?" His teammates were surprised.
"Nothing, I met an acquaintance."
With that said, Okata walked straight to another corner of the square.
In the direction he was heading, a young man with black hair and black eyes stood there, looking over calmly.
"Should I call you the God of Contract, the God of the Internet, or the God of Music?" Okata walked up to the black-eyed man and asked gently.
"It doesn't matter, what do you call me?" Yu Sheng'an's heart sank slightly.
"My name is Phoebus, the ruler of the prophetic godhead." Phoebus, who borrowed the body of a believer, said solemnly.
