Chapter 66 â One Reason
âYou formed a Guild, Brother Feng?â Blackie was momentarily stunned when he heard Shi Fengâs words. Then, immediately afterward, he revealed an excited look as he said, âThatâs great! Weâll join! Weâll definitely join you! Our initial plan was to contact you about joining the Guild Qianliu is forming, anyway! With this, we can start something big in the Miniature Ancient World!â
âSu Qianliu is also forming a Guild?â
Old memories started surfacing in Shi Fengâs mind when he heard this name.
Ice Queen Su Qianliu. She was one of Shadowâs Five Demon Generals, and she was also one of the Guildâs few rare beauties. Lan Hailongâs cousin brother had fervently tried to pursue Su Qianliu initially, and Lan Hailong had also put a lot of pressure onto her to coerce her into entering a relationship with his cousin. Eventually, Su Qianliu got fed up with the harassment, choosing to delete her account and leave Shadow. At the time, many of Shadowâs outer members were Su Qianliuâs fans. So, upon learning of her departure, these players also left Shadow and formed an adventurer team with Su Qianliu.
When Su Qianliu left, Shi Feng would often have Blackie secretly siphon some of Shadowâs resources to help Su Qianliuâs adventurer team. As a result, Su Qianliuâs adventurer team quickly made a name for themselves in the Black Dragon Empire and received many recruitment offers from large Guilds. However, as far as Shi Feng recalled, Su Qianliu never agreed to merge her adventurer team with any Guild.
âQianliu does have such intentions,â Blackie answered. âNow that the Miniature Ancient World has just opened, she thinks itâs a good opportunity to set up a new Guild. She has long since started preparing for this, and she has even found several investors. I heard the total investment capital she got is quite significant. Now, all thatâs left is to form a Guild in the Miniature Ancient World and decide which NPC City to develop in. When Qianliu learned that we had left Shadow, she contacted us and asked us about joining her. She even said that itâd be best if I could get you to join her as well. Now that everyoneâs in agreement, we can start a conquest in the Miniature Ancient World together.â
âSheâs already found investors?â
A slight frown formed on Shi Fengâs face.
âMhm. These investors are betting a lot on the Miniature Ancient World. Each of them has promised at least several hundred million to Qianliu. We can even set up our headquarters in Jin Hai Cityâs city center with that kind of money. Moreover, with this capital, not only can we start Guild operations immediately, but we can also recruit a bunch of independent experts. I believe it wonât take more than two months before we can establish a foothold in the Miniature Ancient World,â Blackie said in a passionate tone.
Seeing that Blackie was about to continue speaking, Shi Feng quickly interrupted him and said, âI donât intend on taking any investments for the Guild formed, Blackie.â
âNo investments?â Blackie couldnât help but take a second look at Shi Feng when he heard Shi Fengâs words. âBrother Feng, things are no longer the same as when Godâs Domain first launched. Back then, everyone only treated Godâs Domain as another game, but Godâs Domain has already become an integral part of real life. Even if the Miniature Ancient Worldâs launch is a good opportunity to establish a Guild, you should know that establishing a Guild costs a lot of money. If we donât offer enough benefits, thereâs no way we can attract any players to join. Not to mention, before the Guild starts making a profit, the Guild still needs to feed a bunch of peopleâŠâ
âI understand.â Shi Feng nodded. Then, he smiled and said, âBut I will think of a solution for these problems. So, are you still willing to join my Guild after learning about my decision?â
Shi Feng naturally knew about the various problems one would meet when establishing a Guild in Godâs Domain, which was why he chose to establish the Candlelight Hotel first. After all, maintaining a Guild wasnât an easy task. It was especially true when the Guild still lacked their own territory and Guild Town. He couldnât possibly ask the Guildâs members to work for free. People still needed to live.
âWhat is the Guildâs name?â Blackie curiously asked instead of answering.
âZero Wing! It is currently a small Guild with only a few members,â Shi Feng said.
âZero Wing?â Nodding, Blackie said, âGood name! Iâll contact the others right away and meet up with you in the game.â
âSure. Come over to Hundred Flow City, and Iâll take you guys out to level,â Shi Feng said, smiling.
âItâs a deal,â Blackie said with a helpless smile. âBut Iâll also have to go talk to Qianliu about this. She came to us with sincerity, after all.â
âDo you have a way to get her to join us?â Shi Feng asked. âIf she joins us, itâll boost our Guildâs management and overall strength significantly.â
Su Qianliu used to be one of Shadowâs Five Demon Generals, so her combat standards and talent naturally went without saying. She only failed to realize her true potential because she failed to get sufficient resources during her time with Shadow.
During Shi Fengâs previous life, Su Qianliu had been a bona fide Tier 5 apex expert in Zero Wing. If he could get Su Qianliu to join Zero Wing again, it would undoubtedly help him a lot.
âThis⊠Iâm afraid itâll be difficult,â Blackie said, shaking his head. âYou should know that she has her own team now, Brother Feng. She needs to be responsible for those people. Moreover, it had taken her great pains to persuade those investors. Getting her to abandon those investors to join us will be very tough. Unless we can provide her with a convincing enough reason, there is absolutely no way she will take the risk.â
âA convincing reason?â After thinking for a moment, Shi Feng smiled and said, âSure. Give her a call, and Iâll give her a convincing reason!â
