Chapter 64 -64-Polaris Legion: Armed to the Teeth

[World Channel]

"Version Event?! No way, Faustus is at it again?!"

"Faustus, are you the GM? You have to be the GM! If you don’t answer, we’ll just assume yes!"

"Two events in a month... this efficiency..."

"Faction selection? Humans, non-human races, Neutral? How do we choose?"

"Obviously pick Humans! Universe #616 is Faustus’ territory!"

"Exactly! Follow the master, eat meat and drink soup!"

"I’m only level 20... can I participate?"

"Yes! Killing lower-level non-human races still earns points."

"Wait, I’m level 15... will I get one-shot?"

"Don’t worry, group up! We have numbers!"

"Did anyone pick the non-human faction?"

"Pick non-human? Are you crazy? Wait to get surrounded by Human forces?"

"Neutral’s safe."

"Neutral’s boring. I want to kill enemies!"

"Charge! For EXP!"

...

Polaris City

Daniel hurried back, watching the celebration on World Channel, a small smile on his lips.

The Version Event had been moved up.

No matter—he had already prepared new resources.

He opened the system war store and began operating.

[Ding! You spent 3 billion merit points to exchange for "Exp Card (Gold-Grade) ×1,500,000"]

[Exp Card Effect: Grants 1,000,000 EXP when used]

[Ding! You spent 2.5 billion merit points to exchange for "Standard Equipment Chest (Silver–Gold Grade) ×1,500,000"]

[Chest contains random equipment of corresponding grade]

[Ding! You spent 1.5 billion merit points to exchange for "Companion Egg (Bronze–Silver Grade) ×300,000"]

[Companion Egg randomly hatches, bound to the user]

[Ding! You spent 800 million merit points to exchange for "Skill Book (D–A Grade) ×300,000"]

[Skill Book randomly grants corresponding class skill]

Total spent: 6.8 billion merit points.

Daniel remained calm.

He opened the guild warehouse and stored all these resources inside.

[You stored in Guild Warehouse: Exp Card ×1,500,000]

[You stored in Guild Warehouse: Standard Equipment Chest ×1,500,000]

[You stored in Guild Warehouse: Companion Egg ×300,000]

[You stored in Guild Warehouse: Skill Book ×300,000]

...

Then he summoned two people.

The first was Polaris Vice Legion Commander—Victor.

[Vice Legion Commander Victor (LV245 · Epic-Grade NPC)]

"Victor, prioritize distributing these resources to the Polaris Legion."

Daniel allocated a batch of materials.

[Exp Card ×1,000,000]

[Standard Equipment Chest ×1,000,000]

[Skill Book ×100,000]

In addition, there were gold coins and food supplies.

Victor stared at the pile in shock.

"Your Grace, all of this... for the warriors?"

"Yes," Daniel nodded.

"War is about to begin. I need a capable army."

"And now I have plenty of money, so every warrior will be fully equipped—armed to the teeth!"

"Distribute these resources as quickly as possible."

Victor took a deep breath and saluted solemnly.

"Understood! Polaris will not disappoint you!"

...

The second was Doom Legion Vice Legion Commander, promoted from a high-ranking officer.

[Vice Legion Commander Alan (LV235 · Epic-Grade NPC)]

In the current Polaris City and Doom Guild system, one notable feature was that nearly all high-level core positions were NPCs.

This was not coincidental—it was Daniel’s deliberate design.

NPC loyalty was system data, clear and visible.

NPCs under contract could not betray—slave contracts, employment contracts, military post contracts all had system enforcement.

Players’ loyalty, on the other hand, was invisible and unreliable.

Friends today could turn on each other tomorrow for a single piece of equipment.

Alliances today could dissolve tomorrow, players jumping to enemy guilds.

Daniel had seen too many examples of this.

Moreover, the average player level was around 40, with most gear being iron-grade.

Polaris Legion NPC warriors started at level 80, minimum iron-grade equipment, and elite units were all silver-grade or higher.

In terms of high-end combat power, the gap was enormous.

Furthermore, managing a city or commanding an army required specialized knowledge and military literacy, which players currently lacked.

Players have their own goals and interests—grinding monsters is fine, but managing? Not a chance.

In Daniel’s plan, at this stage, it was best to let players focus on grinding, completing quests, and earning points.

When they matured, and true talent emerged, promotion would be considered later.

For now, NPC management was the safest choice.

"Alan, I have a task for you."

Daniel looked at the resolute man before him.

"Train the adventurer groups in the Doom Legion for me."

He allocated a batch of resources and funds from Polaris City’s stockpile.

"These are the legion’s starting resources."

"Recruit members in Doom Guild and form a capable fighting force."

"Any questions?"

Alan’s eyes lit up.

"No! Your Grace, rest assured!"

...

After handling this, Daniel opened the guild exchange interface.

He placed the remaining resources inside.

[Guild Shop Update!]

[Exp Card (Gold-Grade): 500 guild points each]

[Standard Equipment Chest (Silver–Gold Grade): 500 guild points each]

[Companion Egg (Bronze–Silver Grade): 1,000 guild points each]

[Skill Book (D–A Grade): 300 guild points each]

[Guild Channel]

"Holy shit! The guild warehouse just updated!"

"Exp Cards! 100 guild points each! I exchanged mine!"

"The equipment chests are god-tier! I got a gold-grade armor!"

"Companion eggs are god-tier! I hatched a silver-grade pet!"

"I want one too! Don’t take it!"

"Wait, check the exchange requirements!"

"To redeem these, you must be a Regular Member. Better resources require Elite-Grade. Top-tier discounted items require Core-Level membership!"

"Holy shit! I’m only a trainee-level member, I can’t exchange!"

"Why? Everyone’s equal, why the discrimination? I refuse!!"

"Exactly, equality! Why treat differently? Faustus is discriminating! Friends, let’s unite...!"

[Ding! Players "TearsofForest" and "StarlightWanderer" have been removed from the guild for inappropriate remarks. All guild members are reminded to speak responsibly and maintain unity!]

[Guild Leader Notice: Those chasing equality and freedom, leave the guild. Anyone kicked will never set foot in Polaris City!]

The golden announcement scrolled five times in the guild channel to ensure visibility.

"..."

The channel went silent.

"Faustus is ruthless. People who don’t understand the situation deserve this!"

"Exactly. Someone was even hitting Faustus himself—what did they expect? Faustus, please post a guild point task, I have no money to reach Elite-Grade!"

"Hahaha, I’m a core member, I can exchange everything..."

"Charge! Buy gold coins to exchange for guild points!"
