He opened a private message to 'Honest First Zero Zero Seven', who seemed to be online forever.
Chu Tian sent a message to the other party.
"Do you have loan services?"
Yes, Chu Tian suddenly thought, he didn't have enough funds. Could he take out a loan to solve his current problems?
He owned two monopolized shops and the exclusive auction house in Shengjing City.
Making money was just a matter of time.
Even without operating at full speed, his daily income was over eight hundred gold coins.
A day's income was almost enough for an ordinary person to work hard for half a lifetime.
Soon, the other party replied.
Honest First Zero Zero Seven: "God, don't you have enough even with over twenty thousand gold coins?"
Chu Tian quickly replied: "As you know, I have a guild. We're short on funds recently. I don't know if you have this service, and what the interest rate is?"
Honest First Zero Zero Seven: "We don't actually have this service, but if you need gold coins, I can personally guarantee it and lend you some.
However, the ratio will definitely be higher than the market price."
Chu Tian heard this and indeed, it was a merchant, extremely cunning, making him indebted and still profiting by increasing the price.
But there was nothing he could do. He asked, "What is the ratio, and how much can you give me?"
He could only accept it, after all, he was short of money now.
Honest First Zero Zero Seven: "Up to 50,000 gold, as we don't have much inventory for one combat zone! As for the ratio, it's 1 gold coin = 3100!"
Chu Tian's eyes lit up. Honest First Zero Zero Seven wasn't trying to rip him off too much.
With 50,000 gold coins, it was enough to upgrade the guild to level six, and the remaining gold could be used to set up shops in Heitu City and Siji City.
He immediately met the other party at the agreed location, signed the agreement, and the 50,000 gold coins entered Chu Tian's inventory.
Before the game closed, he upgraded the guild by two levels.
[Ding... System Prompt: [Nishen Alliance] becomes the first Level 6 guild in the Northern Combat Zone!]
[Ding... System Prompt, Congratulations to your guild for becoming: The Northern Combat Zone's first Level 6 guild, reward guild funds and points: 5000!]
[Ding... System Prompt, Congratulations to your guild for becoming: Shengjing City's first Level 6 guild, reward guild funds and points: 1000!]
Upgrading a guild to level six was a watershed moment. Bafeng Novel
Guilds that reached level six not only increased their member capacity to fifty thousand but also gained four functions: occupying mining areas, building farms, establishing cultivation spaces, and setting up sub-profession studios.
They could recruit a large number of life players, bringing profits to the guild and providing logistical support for the guild's combat players.
However, comprehensive development was not feasible; one to two aspects had to be chosen.
Most guilds would choose cultivation spaces and then build studios for sub-professions to increase alchemy production speed.
After all, guild players consumed a large amount of potions, and if the guild could be self-sufficient, it would save a lot of expenses.
But Chu Tian already owned the "Everything Pharmacy," so he wouldn't choose this kind of construction.
Cultivation spaces were a necessary choice, as his pharmacy needed a large amount of herbs.
He wouldn't develop anything else. By focusing solely on cultivation spaces, he could greatly improve their level and increase the growth rate of herbs.
As for occupying mining areas, no construction was needed. As long as a guild reached level six,
it could find a mining area, station troops there, similar to occupying town territory.
The drawback was that after occupation, there were no defensive structures. If someone came to snatch the mining area, it would all depend on combat.
Therefore, high-yield premium ore veins were all controlled by powerful guilds.
Once the fortress system was activated, the stone materials needed to build fortresses would be produced from mining areas.
After the guild upgrade was completed, he entrusted some matters to Qi Xi.
With less than five minutes left before Tiandao closed, 'Shang Damao Mei Dai Zhi' suddenly came online.
Shang Damao Mei Dai Zhi: "Boss, what you said earlier, was it true?"
Chu Tian replied: "Of course... What were you doing just now?"
Shang Damao Mei Dai Zhi: "Uh... I thought I was dreaming, not in the game, so I logged off to sober up!"
Chu Tian was amused by his words and replied, "After logging in tomorrow, I'll find you at the shop."
After finishing with him, Chu Tian opened his friend list and kept staring at it, hoping Ye Ling would come online and accept his friend request.
This way, he could get news about Luoluo. This continued until Tiandao closed.
Everyone was kicked out of the system, but Ye Ling did not come online.
After exiting the game pod, the first thing Chu Tian did was pick up his phone and call Luoluo.
However, it kept saying that the other party's phone was turned off.
With a restless heart, he began his weight training.
It was almost noon when he finished. He hastily ate lunch and took a bus to school.
He hadn't attended classes in a long time and felt that he would definitely fail the final exams this semester.
In fact, he didn't even want to go to school. Time was precious, and being at school felt like a waste of time.
The apocalypse was only five years away. He would rather use this time to improve his strength.
He meandered to school and entered the campus. He suddenly realized that he had forgotten what classes he had today.
He quickly took out his phone and called his dorm leader.
"Hello, boss, what classes do we have today, and where are you?" Chu Tian asked as soon as the call was connected.
"Three classes. It's Saturday today, what classes are there? Are you possessed?" The voice from the phone belonged to Yao Junjie, the sixth-ranked in their dorm.
"Huh?" Chu Tian picked up his phone and checked the date: Damn... it's actually Saturday.
Chu Tian felt speechless.
"Why did you answer the phone? Where's the boss?" Chu Tian asked.
"Alas... the boss is in the hospital. We're at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University. If you have time, please come and see the boss. He might be dying!"
A choked voice came from the phone.
Chu Tian was shocked when he heard this and asked, "What happened? How did the boss end up in the hospital?"
"It's hard to explain in a few words. If you have nothing else to do, please come over!" Yao Junjie said on the phone.
After hanging up, Chu Tian directly hailed a taxi and rushed to the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Chu Tian went straight to the inpatient department and to the room Yao Junjie had mentioned.
Just as he reached the door, he happened to see Yao Junjie coming out with a kettle.
Seeing Chu Tian, he was surprised: "Third Brother, you're here."
Chu Tian nodded and asked, "How is the boss? What's his illness?"
Yao Junjie shook his head and pulled him into the room. The room was a four-person ward.
As soon as he entered, Chu Tian froze.
He recognized all four patients in the physical beds.
The boss, the second brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother...
Good heavens, it was one thing to live in the same dorm at school, but now they were also in the same hospital room.
At this moment, all four were not sleeping or unconscious.
However, they were all lying there, their eyes vacant, and their complexions showing an unhealthy purplish-blue hue.
