Chapter 1 The Branch Presidents of the Guilds

Although the branch presidents of the major club guilds all had Ye Xiu's friend ID, at this time, the only one who dared to speak up was Lan He.

"Why are you back again!" Lan He emphasized the "again." To be honest, without Jun Moxiao, he felt much less pressure. Competing with other guilds, no matter what the situation, felt familiar. Only when facing this great god, the constant surprises made people want to vomit blood in frustration. Lan He felt that it was best to avoid such an opponent if possible, a view he had held since the guilds joined forces.

"Yeah, back to snatch a Boss," Ye Xiu replied.

"Snatch what Boss?" Lan He asked in surprise.

"Blue Crystal Knight. Is that what it's called? The one that drops blue and white crystals," Ye Xiu said.

"What are you snatching him for!" Lan He continued to be surprised.

"I thought I already said my purpose?" Ye Xiu said.

"You want blue and white crystals?"

"Yeah, does your guild have any?" Ye Xiu asked.

"No," Lan He said decisively.

"How many times have you guys killed the Blue Crystal Knight? Which guilds got it each time?" Ye Xiu asked.

"..."

"Why aren't you talking?"

"I'm not your spy…" Lan He said weakly.

"You've already told me about your guild's situation… I'm asking about other guilds now," Ye Xiu said.

"Of course I don't know about other guilds' affairs," Lan He replied.

"Hehe," Ye Xiu laughed.

Lan He felt extremely depressed. Thinking about it, the lie he told could only deceive newbies in the beginner village. Even if their own guild didn't get the kill, wouldn't they know which guild ultimately did? Such a simple thing.

"The Blue Crystal Knight has been snatched three times so far, by the people from Tyrannical Ambition, Herb Garden, and Excellent Dynasty," Lan He said.

"Why is your guild so weak!" Ye Xiu said.

Lan He didn't reply. Would he tell him that their guild had been victorious in the battle for other Bosses? Lan He thought to himself.

"Have you been helping to manage our Happy guild lately?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I go on occasionally…" Lan He felt a little embarrassed saying this. The leader of their guild had already gone to the Realm of Gods, but he was still quite concerned, occasionally guiding the work of the Happy guild. But speaking of which, this gave Lan He a new experience of being a spy. He felt that a spy didn't necessarily have to betray information as their main job. Sometimes promoting the relationship between the two sides and having them prosper together seemed like a good way to develop.

"How is the Happy guild doing now?" Ye Xiu asked.

This question gave Lan He some illusions. A guild leader was now asking a spy in the guild about the guild's situation. What kind of situation was this? Lan He wanted to remind him again that he was a spy, but thinking about how the line "I'm a spy," which should have been a triumphant line, had become like Xianglin Sao's constant mutterings, Lan He really didn't have the courage to say it again.

"The situation is quite stable, developing well," Lan He said.

"It's about time to establish a guild warehouse system, right?" Ye Xiu replied.

"Ah…" Lan He was surprised again.

"You didn't think I didn't know, did you?" Ye Xiu said.

Lan He didn't reply. He wouldn't think that the great god didn't know about such things, but he hoped that the person would forget about it because they were too busy.

"If you don't establish a warehouse system again, the guild will eventually fall apart, don't you think?" Ye Xiu said.

"Yes…" Lan He reluctantly responded.

"How about it, do you have any surplus equipment in your inventory? Support us with some first?" Ye Xiu asked.

"No!" Lan He refused decisively.

"Stingy," Ye Xiu immediately despised.

"Just figure it out yourself!" Lan He replied quickly. The guild had reached this point, and the guild warehouse system was a very important part, directly leading to whether the guild could continue to develop. And for the Happy guild, it wasn't a question of whether it could continue to develop, it was already a question of whether it could continue to survive. Because in the eyes of the major club guilds, this guild was a thorn in their side. Using the guild warehouse system could be said to be a way to disintegrate the Happy guild without bloodshed.

Because the guild's warehouse system was the fundamental system that could maintain the unity and stability of a guild, and it was also the most important project to reflect the strength of a guild.

The guild's warehouse had a much larger storage capacity than a personal warehouse, and it could be continuously upgraded according to the guild's level. And within the guild, the guild leader had the highest authority over the warehouse. It could be said that the guild warehouse was no different from the guild leader's personal warehouse.

Of course, just having a big warehouse wasn't anything great. The core of the guild warehouse system was the materials in the warehouse.

How to use the guild warehouse's materials well was the most important thing. Currently, major guilds had different warehouse systems, but the principles were roughly the same.

In the guild warehouse, each guild would hoard a variety of equipment, and the guild leader had absolute power to allocate this equipment. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the guild leader's personal property. Of course, this equipment wasn't placed in the warehouse for display, but for the guild's players to use. However, each guild had a set of management methods for the equipment, which was the so-called warehouse system.

Usually, each guild marked these equipment with a guild contribution level required for use. When players reached the corresponding standard, they could freely use any equipment included in that standard. But it should be noted that players only had the right to use it. Although the equipment was in their hands, the ownership didn't belong to the player. The guild leader had the right to take back the equipment to the guild warehouse at any time. Unless the guild leader specifically set a certain equipment to be officially used by someone, then the equipment would officially become their private property.

When these equipment were lost or damaged in the players' hands, they were usually punished by deducting contribution points. This was the same as taking medicines or materials, which were consumables. Consumables were used up, so they could only be exchanged for using contribution points. At this time, contribution points were like currency.

How to obtain guild contribution points? Naturally, each guild also needed to establish a complete system. However, the guild leader still had absolute authority in this regard. As long as they were happy, the guild leader had the right to give someone unlimited contribution points at will. Similarly, the guild leader also had the right to confiscate all of someone's contribution points.

Therefore, when a guild's warehouse system was perfectly established, the guild leader would no longer be an old ox serving the entire guild. With the right to distribute benefits, the guild leader truly had the foundation to make people obey.

As for whether they could do well in this regard, it depended on the guild leader's own ability. Obviously, those who arbitrarily rewarded or punished contribution points and distributed equipment according to their own preferences couldn't win people's hearts. Such guilds, of course, couldn't become a force.

Only with a sound system and clear rewards and punishments could a guild continue to maintain its health.

Club guilds obviously had inherent advantages in the face of this setting. First of all, they could directly invest financially and quickly establish the guild warehouse. But if this was changed to an ordinary player, it would be difficult to create a scale on their own. Because the initial equipment in the warehouse must not be bad, it must be a top-quality item that makes people drool, so that the guild players would start earning contribution points madly for the equipment. And among these ways to earn contribution points, there was naturally handing over equipment, materials, and anything allowed in the regulations in exchange for contribution points, so that the warehouse could be more abundant. The more types of materials, the more players depended on it.

This kind of substantial benefit was the foundation that could allow players to stay in a guild for a long time. In the Realm of Gods, Zhan Lou Lan was able to establish Righteous Slash with the same scale as the club guilds, and it had to be said that this had a lot to do with him being a RMB (Renminbi) player.

RMB players had the same advantage as clubs in the early stages of establishing a guild warehouse: they could throw money to build the guild warehouse fiercely. Although they didn't have the special advantage of club guilds absorbing fans, they could always impress many people with the equipment in the guild warehouse.

The Happy guild could only be considered an ordinary player guild now. It was able to develop so quickly entirely because of Jun Moxiao's aura of sweeping records as the number one expert in the tenth server. Moreover, the new server players didn't quite understand, and many people might not know about the guild warehouse. When they really understood, in the face of naked equipment temptation, what did this expectation and admiration for experts count for?

Now the first-line players in the tenth server were in the stage of rushing to level 60. Club guilds had already begun to establish guild warehouses. They didn't build them in the early stages because the level was raised too quickly. Putting a level 20 or 30 equipment there didn't make much sense. Maybe after the player completed the process of getting this equipment, they would suddenly find that their level didn't need this equipment anymore…

And at level 50, there were many dungeons, and the speed of leveling up was very fast, so level 50 equipment was also not very valuable. Attractive equipment started around level 55. The core of the major guilds who were on the way to level 60 were now paying attention to enriching the guild warehouse. At this time, if they hit good things like orange equipment, they would no longer make them personal items, but would throw them all into the guild warehouse. These equipment, which were still very rare on the market, became the core of the warehouse during this period. Then they used financial resources to sweep the market for some purple equipment and blue equipment, all kinds of categories, graded and arranged, and marked the different levels of contribution points required, so that people could clearly understand the importance and benefits of high contribution points.

If the Happy guild didn't do these things, then when facing the club guilds again, without even fighting, these temptations would be enough to make them collapse. For the Happy guild, these club guilds would definitely be very active in attracting them.

Lan He hoped that Ye Xiu could forget about this, obviously he was quite looking forward to disintegrating the Happy guild without bloodshed. After all, for him, this was still a competitor.
