Chapter 149 Reward

After finishing the quest, Gu Fei logged off. Jian Gui and the others were still online, communicating with the guild members. During the city war, recruitment had been rushed and not very selective, but Jian Gui had explained the guild's principles. In fact, the rules of each guild were similar: harmony, mutual assistance, active participation in activities, and not causing trouble. Jian Gui simply reiterated these commonplaces, but his serious attitude was beyond that of ordinary players. Jian Gui truly cherished the game as his life.

Zhan Wushang, seeing that Very Heaven was full, couldn't join for the time being, so he went back to Rebirth Amethyst. He was fantasizing again, dreaming that joining the victorious city-defending guild at this time would get him some rewards, which was met with unanimous contempt.

As for the other experts, the Jian Nan You seven stayed in the guild, not planning to leave. The Gui Tong Yan Xiaozhu sisters were somewhat concerned about their friends in Xiawu City and hesitated slightly. Changing main cities was basically like changing servers, a decision not easily made. As for the three guys from Drifting, they were completely used to running around and mixing in guilds. For now, they said they would just play in this guild for a while, and Jian Gui certainly didn't mind having a few more experts.

In short, the members were all retained. Jian Gui briefly communicated with everyone, conveyed some messages to Rebirth Amethyst, and finally decided that after the two guilds officially merged, everyone would seriously study the guild's development issues together.

The official merger would naturally have to wait until the city war was completely over. Currently, only one-fifth of the main cities had ended their city wars, but according to forum reports, most had already acquired important quests and were about to take them down in one fell swoop. However, there were also individual main cities that still had no clue. The most serious case was Linshui City. Not only had they found no quests, but they had also suffered heavy losses in battle. This city required players to land and fight by boat, and facing the system's organized resistance, the players were really unable to cope. Nearly 200,000 players from Linshui City participated in the siege, and most had already been lost. More than 100,000 people had completely died and been exiled to their fifteenth district. Seeing that victory was hopeless, players spontaneously protested on the forums, believing that their main city's unconventional geographical form affected their performance, but officials had not responded to date.

Jian Gui and the others were now waiting for the end of city wars around the world. They couldn't receive news in the game, so they all squatted in the forum, watching live broadcasts. Each main city had gossip players writing war reports about the city war. Each main city was different, which made it quite interesting to watch.

The next day when Gu Fei went online again, it was no longer the weekend, and there were naturally fewer game players during the day. At this time, four-fifths of the main city city wars had ended. Shui Shen in Linyin City was already clamoring to treat everyone to drinks. Their city war had gone quite smoothly. Although the points had not yet been tallied, Shui Shen was confident that they would be in the top three.

"Not over yet…" In Xiao Lei's Tavern, Jian Gui and the others were lonely, tapping on the table. Without receiving the city war rewards, they had no energy to do anything.

"Everyone, try my latest brewed wine." Xiao Lei brought a few glasses of wine into the private room.

"Xiao Lei, how is your guild doing?" Jian Gui casually asked. After clearing Han Jia Gongzi and Caiyun Jian's people out of the city, Xiao Lei's Tavern said it would no longer be their enemy, and that's exactly what they did. The group of people who came to his guild later were as diligent in doing quests as Xiao Lei. They sometimes ran into Very Heaven and Rebirth Amethyst and got along peacefully.

"Mine? It's all thanks to you guys." Xiao Lei smiled. Of the three city-defending guilds, his had not only made no contribution to the victory, but was initially a super enemy of the city defense. In the end, he actually got such an ending. Xiao Lei was pleased with his good luck.

"You're lucky!" Zhan Wushang looked at Xiao Lei with envy.

"Thanks to everyone, today's drinks are on me, drink as much as you like!" Xiao Lei, who was always quite shrewd in business, was also generous today.

"Then we won't be polite." Jian Gui laughed.

"Don't be polite, please don't be polite." Xiao Lei put down the wine, greeted them, and went out.

"The rewards for his guild may not be lower than yours!" Han Jia Gongzi suddenly said after Xiao Lei left.

"How could that be? They just did some broken quests. We led the city defense and achieved the final victory!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"If there were no penalties for infighting," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Jian Gui frowned, "You mean when Xiao Lei's Tavern was our enemy at the beginning?"

"That's right, both sides are defending the city, and if killing each other deducts points… then you guys deducted a lot." Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Xiao Lei's Tavern would have to deduct too," Jian Gui said.

"But you guys are still more powerful," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"That's a problem…" Jian Gui nodded.

"It's all because of you…" Yu Tian Shen Ming glared at Han Jia Gongzi, "If you hadn't caused so much trouble."

"Believe me." Han Jia Gongzi nodded and said, "I never expected you guys to actually win the entire city war. I thought you would all be killed by me."

"If there really is such a penalty, then we would definitely have a lot of points deducted. Although our score is definitely higher than Xiao Lei's Tavern, that quest of Qian Li's, he actually received it in the camp at the beginning. We don't even know if that quest will be counted as the guild's city war points. That is definitely a super big one. If the points aren't counted, then we don't seem to have anything special." Jian Gui said.

"Could it be that the rewards for that super quest will eventually all be concentrated on Qian Li alone?" Yu Tian Shen Ming murmured.

"Damn it!!!" Zhan Wushang slammed the table heavily. Envy made him a little crazy, "If the rewards for that quest are given to him alone, I think he will level up ten times in a row."

Everyone was silent.

"Where is Qian Li?" Yu Tian Shen Ming suddenly asked. Gu Fei was online, but he hadn't come to the tavern.

"He's on a wanted mission, I guess…" Jian Gui said.

"Can this guy… have a little ambition…" Everyone had to fall silent again.

"Hey, You Ge is online!" Yu Tian Shen Ming suddenly became excited. You Ge was guarding the forum, waiting to hear the first news. His willingness to go online meant that the city war was completely over?

Sure enough, as soon as he went online, You Ge immediately sent a message in the mercenary channel, "The city war is completely over!!!"

Yu Tian Shen Ming, who had been kicked out of the mercenary group, had already been added back at this time. Although he had formed a guild, everyone was still used to communicating through the mercenary channel. Obviously, they would all be core members of the new guild. This mercenary channel naturally became a top-level decision-making group.

"Can we claim the rewards?" As soon as Yu Tian Shen Ming asked this, the system broadcast began, announcing that the city war was completely over. The points were being tallied, and players should go to the main city's Council Hall to receive their rewards after receiving a system message.

The tavern, which had been very noisy just now, suddenly became quiet with this system message. But in less than three seconds, a lot of curses rang out outside. Jian Gui and the others shrank in the private room and could only smile bitterly. Obviously, for the guild players of Yun Duan City, this news was rubbing salt in their wounds.

"Ding!"

A system prompt rang out, and the players of Very Heaven all received this system message: The Very Heaven guild scored 645 points in the Yun Duan City city war.

"645? So little?" Disappointment was already written on Yu Tian Shen Ming's face.

"Rebirth Amethyst has more than you." Zhan Wushang was now in Rebirth Amethyst, receiving the system message from there, "We have 1142 points, much more than you."

"It should be Qian Li's quest," Jian Gui said.

"Not only that, didn't that guy also destroy the other side's camp?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Yeah, that score should be a lot too." Jian Gui nodded.

"Actually, it's not a small amount." You Ge wasn't in the tavern now, he could only ask for news from the channel. After learning about Rebirth Amethyst's points, he began to analyze again, "The city war only gives 10,000 points in total. The two of us have nearly 2,000 points combined. I don't think this score is low. Or we can ask Shui Shen and Lao Yun to see how many points they have."

When Jian Gui heard that it made sense, he immediately sent a message to ask. As a result, Shui Shen's Extremely Deep Cold only got 312 points. Yun Zhong Mu's side was the Ten Guild Alliance, but this was organized by himself, and the system didn't recognize it. The rewards were distributed to their ten guilds. The one directly managed by Yun Zhong Mu scored 198 points, far less than Shui Shen, but one of the ten guilds scored 542. It was this one that completed the werewolf quest, allowing the Moon Night City siege players to get the assistance of the werewolf legion.

With this score, Shui Shen, Yun Zhong Mu, and the others were very satisfied. The one with more than 500 was regarded as a miracle. Obviously, they had many comparison objects. Compared with other siege guilds, those with more than 100 points were already large guilds with some strength. Most of the second and third-rate guilds could only struggle for a few dozen points. The guilds that got single-digit points were actually the most numerous.

"It seems our score is already very high…" Jian Gui told the others what he had asked. Others were level 6 guilds, and they were happy to get two or three hundred points. Very Heaven was a level 1 guild with 50 people and got more than 600 points…

At this time, in the hall outside the private room, the original curses suddenly disappeared. The few of them were only concerned about studying the score just now and hadn't had time to pay attention. They suddenly noticed this and were surprised. Xiao Lei suddenly ran in again.

"How many points?" Both sides asked almost in unison.

"22 points," Xiao Lei said.

The four people in the room looked at each other. Obviously, Han Jia Gongzi's worries were a bit redundant. Xiao Lei's guild didn't make any outstanding contributions to the city defense. They just did some quests in the absence of competition and obstacles. Obviously, his score was more conventional. Everyone finally understood why Shui Shen, Yun Zhong Mu, and the others were so happy to get two or three hundred points.

"How many points do you guys have?" Xiao Lei asked again.

"Uh…" Jian Gui was kind, afraid that the number would be too stimulating for Xiao Lei.

"It's very high, right?" Xiao Lei was mentally prepared.

"Uh, thirty times higher than yours," Jian Gui thought it was more tactful to say it this way.

"Awesome!" Xiao Lei praised, but wasn't too surprised. He was fully prepared.

"Why is it suddenly quiet outside?" Han Jia Gongzi asked Xiao Lei this question.

"Oh, I heard from the people outside that they also received a system message just now. Although it's not points, it seems that the siege side also has some rewards," Xiao Lei said.

"A consolation prize." Han Jia Gongzi nodded.

"It's not easy." Yu Tian Shen Ming said this, but his eyes were full of schadenfreude.

"Stop chatting, let's go claim the rewards!" Zhan Wushang got up.

"What's it to you?" Yu Tian Shen Ming despised him.

"It's hard to say," Zhan Wushang said with a look of longing.

"Actually, it's not hard to say, you're screwed, you know?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Uh?"

"Didn't you hear? Although the siege players lost, they still have a consolation prize," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Zhan Wushang was suddenly stunned. The city war was a guild activity, and the rewards were based on the guild and then distributed to individuals. Zhan Wushang joined this guild after the city war ended. In fact, he knew very well that there would definitely be no rewards for him. But he never expected that the defeated siege guild would actually have a consolation prize. He had already quit the guild, so he couldn't receive this prize either.

While he was petrified, a message arrived. Zhan Wushang opened it and saw that some of his former buddies from Warrior's Home remembered him after receiving the system message and sent congratulatory telegrams full of ridicule. Yu Tian Shen Ming was also laughing like a madman. Zhan Wushang was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

"You stay here, we're leaving." Yu Tian Shen Ming waved goodbye to Zhan Wushang. He, Jian Gui, and Xiao Lei left the private room together. Zhan Wushang, who was still in a rigid state, turned his head and saw that Han Jia Gongzi had stayed in the private room. He then remembered that this guy didn't have any rewards either. With a companion, he suddenly felt better. Zhan Wushang "啧啧" a few times and sat down, looking at Han Jia Gongzi and grinning foolishly.

Jian Gui and the others left the tavern and called Gu Fei and the others. Gu Fei had already been summoned by Qi Yue and set off towards the City Hall. In fact, he was still a little puzzled! The guild rewards, the guild leader could just go and claim them. As for the personal rewards, everyone could claim their own. Why did they call them?

The two sides met on the road. Gu Fei's side had received the news from Rebirth Amethyst, with more than 1,000 points. At this time, when he saw Jian Gui, he asked him how many points Very Heaven had.

"645," Jian Gui told him.

"Only 600? So little?" Gu Fei was surprised, and Xiao Lei on the side was in tears.

"It's not bad," Jian Gui told Gu Fei about the situation with Shui Shen, Yun Zhong Mu, and the others.

"I see!" Gu Fei nodded, "It's really an advantage that we have so few people. All the points are piled on us."

The few of them chatted all the way and arrived at the Council Hall of Yun Duan City. Unexpectedly, a lot of people had already gathered here. The guild leaders of the siege side had already come to claim their rewards. In addition, there were also some people watching the excitement.

In front of the gate of the Council Hall, a bright red carpet had been brushed up by the system at some point. An NPC with a solemn expression and quite a bit of majesty was standing on it, with a large group of attendants and guards behind him. Gu Fei saw at a glance that his leader of the guard team was standing behind this NPC like an ordinary soldier.

"Who is this person?" The players discussed.

"It should be the city lord, right?" Someone guessed, and this answer was recognized by everyone. Each main city had a city lord, but he usually lived deep inside the City Hall building. Players could enter and exit the City Hall's courtyard at will, but the building was never allowed to enter, so no one had ever seen the city lord. At this time, looking at this NPC's pomp and style, he could only be such a high official.

"Do we get the rewards from the city lord?" The players didn't get any clear prompts and didn't know whether they should step forward. However, with the arrival of Gu Fei and the others, a considerable number of players' gazes began to focus on them.

These were the true victors of Yun Duan City, the objects to whom the city lord would truly give rewards. The players who came to receive consolation prizes had eyes full of envy and hatred. But seeing Gu Fei carrying his sword and walking in front, many people began to subconsciously avoid his gaze.

"You're here." Qi Yue also popped up at this time. She had arrived earlier than Gu Fei and the others.

"This, can we claim them?" Jian Gui asked Qi Yue.

"It didn't say who to claim from or how to claim them. It seems to be that one, right?" Qi Yue pointed to the city lord.

"Why hasn't anyone tried?" Jian Gui looked at the others.

"It seems they're all waiting for us to step forward first." Qi Yue smiled bitterly.

"Then let's go!" Jian Gui had experienced all kinds of situations. Being envied was actually commonplace for him. At this time, he walked forward steadily and stepped onto the steps in front of the City Hall gate.

"That…" Under the gaze of many eyes, Jian Gui still couldn't think of any imposing dialogue to start communicating with the NPC.

"Warriors of Very Heaven, you have achieved outstanding results and made remarkable contributions in this main city's defense. You fought bravely and sacrificed yourselves to defend your homeland. On behalf of the entire city, I express my sincere gratitude and pay my highest respects to you. I have decided to reward you!" As soon as this NPC opened his mouth, the words were a complete set, but the players obviously only found the word "reward" in the last sentence the most pleasing. As soon as this sentence "reward you" was finished, a mass of white light suddenly rose from Jian Gui's body. Which of the players present didn't recognize this white light? This was the white light of leveling up!

The players were in an uproar. Obviously, the experience rewards had already been distributed. Jian Gui leveled up directly, but they didn't know if he was already close to leveling up or if this experience reward was really generous.

After the white light flashed, the NPC raised his hand again, pointing like he was surveying the landscape, "I will grant you Xiaoyun and Miyun two districts as a reward for defending your homeland."

The players were in an uproar again. The rewards for territory division had really appeared. With a wave of his hand, he gave them two districts. You should know that players usually refer to them by street names. The names of the districts did exist, but the players didn't remember them very well because the districts were really big. If you were making a date, you would tell people to meet in Xiaoyun District, and people would want to slap you to death.

However, the rewards didn't stop there. Afterwards, the city lord also gave financial and armed support in order to better defend the homeland in the future. But it was obviously inappropriate to give all of this to the guild leader. The place where online games should be online games still needed to be online games. After the city lord announced the rewards in this regard, he finally told Jian Gui to let the members of the guild claim them themselves.

Experience, territory, money, equipment…

All the rewards that could be given in the game were given. A bunch of guild leaders were so jealous that they wanted to die.

================================================

So dangerous, I almost couldn't finish writing it. There is nothing more tragic than a broken update at the end of the month. This kind of thing must never happen to me!
