Chapter 73

How wealthy was a gaming guild in reality?

Roland wasn’t too clear on this . However, he knew that the majority of rich gamers came from gaming guilds, and even established their own gaming guilds .

These rich people were all very wealthy in real life, but they couldn’t find anything exciting to do—they didn’t smoke or gamble, so they could only invest in online games .

Acquiring the finest equipment that cost several hundred thousand yuan was as simple as eating a meal and drinking water .

Roland once heard a news story that was quite credible . In a certain turn-based game based off Journey to the West1, a rich player bought the finest weapon which had no level restriction and guaranteed critical hit off the official auction house . The weapon was worth roughly one million yuan .

And according to the rich player himself, he had spent nearly ten million yuan on the game .

This was merely one of the many rich players inside the game .

This rich player was only a solo player, whereas some rich players recruited other players to form a small organization with themselves at the center . Those organizations that were relatively better and properly organized slowly developed into gaming guilds .

Upon hearing Hawk’s words, Roland knew that the Silver Wings guild leader was also definitely a rich person .

Moreover, judging from Hawk’s gold purchasing behavior from before, he was also most likely a rich person .

“But I don’t have many gold coins every month,” Roland said after a moment’s thought .

Hawk, however, laughed . ” Yeah, you don’t have much money now, but you will have a lot of money in the future . So long as one is a Mage, they’ll have to pay you one gold coin as tribute . This matter is unavoidable—in the future, you’ll be the richest player in the game . ”

Pay as tribute… These words sound quite embarrassing .

Roland thought for a moment and said, “All right, if I really have a lot of gold coins in the future, I’ll sell them to you at market price . ”

Upon seeing Roland agree, Hawk laughed happily and said, “Thanks, it’s a pleasure to work with you . Oh, that’s right, our guild leader told me to advise you once again to join Silver Wings—the pay can be negotiated . ”

“Sorry, I already joined a guild . ”

Hawk’s expression suddenly turned into one of confusion . There were only a few famous large guilds in the gaming world . They were in the middle amongst them, not being very famous but having some sort of relevance .

However, their guild leader had a strong sense of foresight . He acutely felt that this game had great prospects, so he bought immersive cabins in advance for many players in the guild .

While many guilds thought that Penguin Corporation’s propaganda was fake, they had already assembled the members, specifically found a small city, and rented a large building as the guild’s temporary headquarters . All the members that had immersive cabins were living in this place .

Everyone moved as a collective .

The guild leader’s original idea was to use the advantages of unity to do something big, seizing the resources in game .

However, he never expected that every player’s spawn point would be randomized .

Moreover, the game’s map was exceptionally large .

Hundreds of members were scattered across the various lands of Hollevin . As a result, they didn’t even cause a splash .

“What guild?” Hawk couldn’t help but ask .

“F6!”

“Oh!” Hawk let out a sigh of relief—fortunately, it wasn’t their adversary, Church of Garland . Then, he immediately came to a realization . “F6, as in the first guild inside the game?”

Roland nodded .

At this moment, Hawk looked to be somewhat at a loss .

The appearance of the guild F6 confused many people in the world of gaming guilds . They wondered what game this guild emerged from and how come they never heard of them .

Something that large guilds like them couldn’t do at the moment, how could a small guild possibly accomplish?

Was it luck, or was it pure strength? There were many theories .

After staying silent for a while, Hawk suddenly said with a brazen look on his face, “Since you’re a member of F6, seeing that we’re friends, can you divulge how you guys created a guild and how you guys did it so quickly? And whether or not a guild has any special functions?”

Hawk was a pretty good person; Roland felt that this player was someone worth deepening ties with .

Besides, this wasn’t some important secret . And anyway, they had already seized the glory for being the first to establish a guild . So now it would be beneficial to make Hawk owe him a favor by giving Hawk the information .

Then, Roland told Hawk everything he knew about guilds .

After Hawk finished listening, he stood up immediately and said, “Thank you for your information . I’m going back right now to deliver the information to the guild, I’ll be leaving now . ”

Roland waved his hands .

Hawk turned and left without delay .

Now, apart from F6, only Silver Wings knew about the fact that guilds possessed a communication function .

This function was very important—at least in Hawk’s perspective, the strategic value of it was tantamount to a remote command post . It had to be acquired as soon as possible .

After waiting for Hawk to leave, Roland shook his head .

He was always using the guild’s chat function, but the members of F6 were too familiar with each other . If it wasn’t necessary, they wouldn’t chat nonstop .

They would only leave information or messages that were relatively more important in the chat room .

For example… Raffel saw elf slaves inside the city two days ago . He asked whether Schuck and Betta, the “rich people,” wanted to buy one—they truly looked very beautiful .

Li Lin soon rushed over to get his hands on one—the two of them spawned relatively closer to each other . It was approximately on the second day that the word “awesome” was left on the chat interface .

Then, after half an hour, he left another message: “Seeing that this female elf slave is somewhat pitiful, I already set her free . ”

This person born with a silver spoon in his mouth was purely having a taste of novelty .

At the time, Roland instinctively asked, “How many gold coins did you spend to buy a slave?”

“Eight!”

Yes… Roland still couldn’t understand the world of rich people .

Roland opened the guild chat room again . Although there were a few more messages, none of them concerned him, so he continued to derive spells from Language Proficiency .

This time, he wanted to combine Language Proficiency and Character Proficiency .

Otherwise, this would normally result in being able to understand words but unable to read them, or being able to read words but unable to understand them . He would have to change back and forth between spells, quite a problematic matter .

Deriving benefits from the skill, Roland’s Zeal, Roland, at this moment, had greatly increased mental power regeneration .

And with a substantial increase in the number of experiments, his efficiency became much higher .

COMMENT

While he was focused on deriving spells, Vivian came in again .

“The chairman, Mr . John, wants to see you . ”

Roland looked up . He felt it was somewhat strange: what sort of day was this? Why were there so many people visiting him?

But no matter what, he still had to meet the chairman .

After all, the chairman was a noble .

After several minutes, John came in and sat down in the study . He sized up Roland curiously, and after a while, he said, “Mr . Roland, to get a meeting with you is truly somewhat difficult . ”

Roland frowned at this . Although the other side spoke with a smile and a gentle voice, those words undeniably carried a hint of rebuke . He looked at the other man, smiled lightly, and said, “Mr . John, are you referring to my not attending the party? I’m very sorry . At the time, I was taking care of a small problem regarding magic theory . I wasn’t much in the mood for attending some party . ”

“I don’t mean that . ” John had blue eyes and blond hair, he looked quite handsome, but compared to Schuck, there was still quite a gap . “I just wanted to say, Mr . Roland, it’s been some time since you’ve come to Delpon, but you’ve always stayed inside the magic tower—this isn’t something that a qualified spellcaster should do!”

Roland was startled for a moment . “What should a qualified spellcaster do?”
