Chapter 197 - Chapter 197 Chapter 187 Initial Establishment of the Chamber

Chapter 197: Chapter 187: Initial Establishment of the Chamber of Commerce Chapter 197: Chapter 187: Initial Establishment of the Chamber of Commerce —-System Prompt: You accepted the Epic Quest “Revival of the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce”!

—-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have become the president of the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce! You can now view the current status of the guild through the guild management panel.

Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce: A sea commerce guild cursed by the Sea God.

Overall Level: Level 1 (Level 1 Sea Commerce, Level 0 Adventure Guild, Level 0 War Guild, Level 0 Trade Guild.)

Level 1 Sea Commerce: Gain an extra 1% experience reputation from trading.

Guild Reputation: -1.04 million.

Current Guild Feature: Buying and selling discounts.

Guild President: Da Fei (Task appointment, cannot be transferred)

Guild Residence: Elorin Sea Commerce Office 003.

Guild Assets: 0

Guild Ships: 0

Guild Officers: 0 people.

Guild Members: 0 people.

Current number of guild members allowed: 100 people.

….

Warning: The guild is in a large negative reputation state. If any security incidents or breach incidents occur, the guild will be forcibly dissolved.

A brief introduction to the guild attributes shows no difference from a typical newly established guild, except for this -1.04 million negative reputation that stabs Da Fei’s in-app purchase dog eyes! -1.04 million reputation! Damn it! How can I even level up with this!

Guild leveling is different from player leveling, players need Experience, while guilds need Reputation. Every trade completed by the guild, every task finished, adds Reputation. Once enough Reputation is gained, the guild levels up, enhancing its attributes, developing new guild skills, increasing the maximum recruitable members, and receiving higher-end tasks.

In other words, the current state not only requires surviving the Sea God’s curse but also demands clearing this -1.04 million negative reputation within a year of game time, equivalent to just over a month in real time!

No wonder this is an Epic Quest! It’s a pain! Such a painful guild, is it really worth saving? After leveling up, does it really have substance? It is said that a demoted guild can upgrade again without spending resources and time redeveloping skills, implying that the advantage of a guild lies herein. But the precondition is, to level up, first clear the negative reputation!

Whatever, if I fail, I’ll just wash it clean and pretend I never took this task. Speaking of which, seems like I’ve become the world’s first guild president, haven’t I? Why isn’t there a world broadcast? Doesn’t the task count?

At this time, Auseliman laughed, “Worthy of Mr. Da Fei. I’m relieved to hand such a daunting task to you. Please head to the shipyard now to receive your ships. Meanwhile, I’ll notify the Sea Commerce Association to clear the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce’s office for you.”

Da Fei nodded, “Alright, I’ll go now.” Suddenly remembering he had two little bros, Brother Wei realized that if he didn’t let them bask in some glory, there might be a loyalty issue!

Da Fei hurriedly laughed, “Mayor, could you sponsor two more medium ships? After all, it’s a new opening for an old chamber of commerce; we need four or five people and seven or eight guns! One lonely ship setting sail looks unmotivated.”

The mayor shook his head, smiling, “I am an honest official. I truly have no extra funds for private sponsorships. But Mr. Da Fei makes a good point. I’ll step forward and ask the shipyard to grant credit for one ship to Mr. Da Fei. A medium ship shouldn’t be a problem. Regardless of the task’s success, you must repay the shipyard’s debt immediately.”

Honesty, my foot! Da Fei nodded repeatedly, “Thank you, Mayor!”

I get it; the mayor’s special skill is “credit”! Otherwise, how else could I receive rewards before completing tasks, or build the Banshee Camp before paying? God-level specialty! A mayor who can’t grant credit isn’t a good mayor! Wahahaha!

The mayor laughed, “But I must remind you, even with a ship, members require enough reputation to operate it; this can’t be vague.”

Da Fei nodded, “Understood, understood!”

In the game, not only must you have sufficient reputation to buy a ship, but also to operate it, equivalent to a license. Otherwise, it would be too easy for main accounts to buy ships and trade them to secondary accounts. Although the two little bros don’t have enough reputation to operate the ships, my goal is to show them the capabilities of their big bro, so they’ll work wholeheartedly for it!

….

During Da Fei’s meeting with the mayor, Da Bing and Da Wei also kept busy outside the door.

Da Bing immediately sent a message and screenshot to his computer science buddies who disbanded last night, “Da Liu, see this? We’ve hit the jackpot, the number one in National service, the legendary Brother Fei. Let’s join the fun together.”

Da Liu chuckled, “Who was the big mouth saying they would make something of themselves and form a university war team? If you had said earlier you wanted to be reliant on others, we would’ve joined Star directly. No need to be beaten like a dog, right? Honestly, I don’t think like this Da Fei. He killed dozens of Star members and still hasn’t shed the traitor label. I’d advise you to steer clear unless you expect trouble?”

Da Bing retorted angrily, “If you guys hadn’t insisted on disbanding, would we have needed to rely on others?”

Da Liu coldly replied, “Not everyone is fit to lead. We didn’t feel fit, so we followed you, but you’re not much better. Who are you blaming?”

Da Bing swore, “Fine, enough talk. Lend a brother some money so we can buy ships and repay you once we’re rich.”

“For what? Even the National War has been cleaned up!”

“You have money in the bank!”

“Nope, don’t even think about touching the wife’s savings.”

“Dang! I’m trying to share good stuff with you guys, asking for a little Game Coin, and you say no. Are we even alumni?”

“No good stuff, jump into a pit if you want, we won’t accompany you!”

Da Bing was fuming, “Fine! You guys are something! Damn!”

Next to them, Da Wei watched their conversation silently, finally feeling compelled to say, “Can this Da Fei really back us up?”

Da Bing lit a cigarette, blew a smoke ring, staying silent. The dorm atmosphere grew heavy, and the two sat there, lost in thought, exhaling clouds of smoke.

For these ambitious college students, always dreaming of making it big post-graduation, marrying a rich beauty, and standing at life’s peak, the reality is, when everyone thinks this way, it leads to conflicts and divisions, even failing to band together for small ventures in games!

As they pondered, a flash of white light at the door signaled Da Fei’s exit.

Da Bing forced himself back into high spirits, approaching with a smile, “Brother Fei, you’re out!”

Da Fei sighed, “You two are really waiting here? Guys, seize every moment to get things done, don’t waste time like this from now on!”

The two quickly agreed, “Yes, Brother Fei is right.”

Satisfied, Da Fei waved, “Come on, let’s go to the shipyard to see the ship.”

Da Bing was delighted, “A ship?”

Da Fei gloated, “That’s right, one is mine, and the other one is for you guys, but you can’t operate it yet. So, you must work hard to gain reputation, understood?”

Da Bing was excited, “Understood! We’ll keep grinding for reputation, won’t let Brother Fei down!”

—-System Prompt: The president of the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce, Da Fei, invites you to join the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce. Do you accept?

Stunned by the sudden system prompt, Da Wei was puzzled, and Da Bing found it hard to believe!

“What’s up?” Da Fei turned nonchalantly, observing their reactions.

Da Bing was ecstatic, “Brother Fei! Brother Fei, I’m kneeling for you again! You’re incredible! Guild president! I can’t believe my eyes! I don’t think the world even has any guilds yet, but Brother Fei is the world’s first guild president!”

Da Fei chuckled coolly, “It’s a quest-generated guild, much more substantial than ordinary guilds. In short, at this level, I couldn’t care less about competing for first place.”

Da Bing was so excited he was almost rolling on the ground, “Brother Fei is mighty! Brother Fei is magnanimous!”

Even the usually silent Brother Wei chimed in, “Brother Fei is too strong!”

Recruiting little bros achieves exactly this effect, surely more fulfilling than playing alone! Da Fei couldn’t resist bursting into a hearty laughter.

Under the curious gazes of passersby, Da Fei swaggered toward the shipyard with his entourage of beauties.

Da Bing walked proudly, filled with complex emotions! This step was the right one! To see further, stand on a giant’s shoulders; to run faster, still stand on a giant’s shoulders, exerting no effort yourself! When I master sailing, I’ll show Da Liu and the rest! Hah, what are they to me? This vice president position is as good as mine, they’re not even fit to carry my shoes. But for our old alumni’s sake, if they obediently plead with me, I’ll still let them in to help out with tasks, hahaha!

Elorin Shipyard.

The shipyard manager personally greeted, “Welcome Mr. Da Fei, we’ve been waiting for you. We have several ready-made medium-sized sailing ships. Which would you like, Mr. Da Fei? Let me introduce them. With Mr. Da Fei’s current reputation, you can use our best Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship. The advantages of medium ships are that they have decent speeds in calm coastal waters, can fulfill mid-range transportation needs, and the added 4-gun capacity can effectively threaten small pirate ships in coastal regions…”

Ship Name: Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship

Price: 25,000 Gold Coin, 130,000 Elorin City Reputation or Respect Reputation.

Ship Special Skill: None

Ship Model: Medium-sized Twin-Masted Double-Decked Cargo Sailing Ship.

…..

–Ah poo! Staring at the mere 30,000 Durability of this medium-sized ship, Da Fei spewed old blood! Damn it, my Flying set sail to the Demon World with only 2,000 Durability! It turns out my Flying is in such poor shape! So, a fully resurrected Flying should be way stronger than a medium-sized ship, right?

The manager asked, “Sir, what do you think? This is our best medium ship.”

Da Fei waved his hand, “This one!” 25,000 Gold Coin! Damn, although money isn’t an issue, without the mayor’s help, I wouldn’t afford it!

The manager bowed, “Thank you for your purchase, Sir. You can also choose another medium ship!”

Considering these two little bros’ reputation was problematic, Da Fei said, “Choose the easiest one to obtain, with large cargo capacity.”

The manager nodded, “We have plenty of those, Medium Clark Cargo Ship, it sacrifices speed, making it bulky, but with ample cargo, the downside is the lack of armament, so it requires heavy escort.”

Ship Name: Medium Clark Cargo Ship

Price: 18,000 Gold Coin, 100,000 Elorin City Reputation.

Ship Special Skill: None

Ship Model: Medium-sized Twin-Masted Double-Decked Cargo Sailing Ship.

A standard cargo train, nothing more to say, this one it is.

The manager bowed, “Thank you for your purchase, sir. We’ll need a day to wax and launch the two ships, please wait for one day.”

Da Fei nodded and turned to them, “See that, 100,000 City Reputation, you need to work hard!”
