Chapter 246: Resource Scramble!
The Guild was in the process of upgrading and could not be entered.
So the Guild members went out to find things to do.
Those who needed to clear dungeons did so, and those who needed to do quests did so, and soon everyone dispersed.
And the upgrade of the Gods Guild, once again, spread throughout the entire World at an extremely fast speed.
Up until now, besides the Gods Guild, there was no other town-level Guild.
And now, the Gods Guild had upgraded again?!!!
This was no longer just one level above other Guilds, but two levels!!!
Originally, the Gods Guild was the most awesome Guild in the World, and now it was two levels ahead.
How were other Guilds supposed to play now?
The Guilds on the China Server were alright; they had long been accustomed to the impact of the Gods Guild. They knew they simply couldn't compare and couldn't be first, so being second was fine.
But the Guilds on servers in other countries didn't think that way.
The Demon Hand, who had previously competed with Li Xiang from a distance, was now furious.
Ever since he had initiated a challenge last time and been counter-slapped, every time the Gods Guild made a move that was popular throughout the World, it would cause the Demon Guild to be stepped on again.
Originally, as the top Guild in the United States, the Demon Guild was looked up to by players on all servers, but now it was almost a laughingstock.
Everyone in the Demon Guild was holding their breath, wanting to wipe away the shame.
But what was frustrating was that the Gods Guild was getting stronger and stronger, and the speed of their growth far exceeded that of their Demon Guild.
Wiping away the shame was basically hopeless.
This led to the influence of the Demon Guild declining day by day, with a tendency to be overtaken by the Guilds behind them.
Many top players in the United States no longer considered the Demon Guild as their first choice for joining a Guild, which was a huge blow to the Demon Guild.
...
Wu Shuang City.
Li Xiang headed towards the residence of the Minister of Finance.
More than ten minutes later, Li Xiang arrived.
The guards at the gate had been informed in advance. Upon seeing Li Xiang, they let him pass directly and went inside to announce his arrival.
Soon, Li Xiang saw Xu You again.
Compared to her dishevelled state when she was abducted, she now had an air of elegance. However, this elegance immediately disappeared upon seeing Li Xiang. She quickly ran up to Li Xiang and curtsied gracefully.
"Royal Guard~"
Li Xiang bowed slightly in return.
This game was made too realistically; doing the courtesies well was a big plus!
"My father is already waiting for you in the council hall. I will take you there."
Li Xiang looked at the way Xu You was looking at him and secretly sighed at how realistic this game truly was.
He wasn't a novice without emotional experience; he knew what the look in this girl's eyes meant.
Just a game NPC...
They actually made it so realistic...
This game, as expected, was a big production with an official background...
"Xu You, if you don't mind, call me..."
Li Xiang fell silent.
His real name could not be exposed.
He couldn't say his game ID.
"Call me... call me big brother."
Xu You's eyes lit up, and she sweetly said, "Royal Guard big brother~"
Her voice was already sweet, and this one call almost melted Li Xiang's bones.
Li Xiang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he looked closely at Xu You's appearance again.
The standard look of a beauty, with eyes like autumn water, gentle yet filled with affectionate depth, and lips the colour of cinnabar, like a dot of vermilion on white paper.
Truly tempting...
No wonder the marriage rate had dropped since this game launched...
Li Xiang shifted his gaze elsewhere and followed behind Xu You to the council hall.
Xu You sensibly withdrew, leaving only Li Xiang and the NPC Xu Nian.
Xu Nian held Li Xiang's hand, "Royal Guard, this time it was all thanks to You. Otherwise, with the cruel nature of the Demon Clan, my daughter's life would have been in danger."
"You are too kind. As a Royal Guard, this is my duty."
Seeing Li Xiang's uprightness, Xu Nian nodded repeatedly with satisfaction. He took out a box from behind and handed it to Li Xiang.
"This is a small token of gratitude. The Royal Guard must accept it."
Through the box, Li Xiang didn't know what was inside, but he didn't refuse either.
"Then I shall not decline. Thank you, Minister Xu."
After that, the two talked about the construction of Wu Shuang City, and the more they talked, the more they hit it off.
During his conversation with Xu Nian, Li Xiang gained some insight into the current state of Wu Shuang City's construction and how his shops would be handled.
And Xu Nian was even more shocked when he learned that all the open shops in the City had been purchased by Li Xiang.
As the Minister of Finance of Wu Shuang City, he clearly knew that purchasing all the open shops in Wu Shuang City would require at least four hundred million gold coins!!!
Only a handful of people in the entire Dragon Flame Empire possessed such wealth.
At that moment, Li Xiang's image in his mind instantly became mysterious and unpredictable.
And with this connection to Xu Nian, when Li Xiang's shops in Wu Shuang City were officially built and opened, they would receive more convenience!!!
...
It was already evening when he left the Xu residence. The two had talked for several hours without realizing it.
While lamenting the realism of this game World, Li Xiang opened the Guild channel.
As soon as he opened the Guild channel, Li Xiang's brows furrowed.
The Guild channel was currently having a heated discussion about whether to fight or not.
Li Xiang scrolled up to understand the beginning and end of the matter.
The first tier of players had now reached level 50.
This meant that the level 50 dungeon was open!!!
Although there was only the Gods Guild in Wu Shuang City.
There were many members of other Guilds in Wu Shuang City.
After all, it was the only City that could be reached below level 50. Although many Guilds did not build their bases in Wu Shuang City, their Guild members developed there.
It was somewhat like... going out to work in developed areas.
And some of these Guild players were Elites.
As Elite players, the pursuit of levels was extremely high.
Dungeons were places where a large amount of experience could be gained.
Therefore, this level 50 team dungeon was targeted by many forces.
Everyone doing their own thing was fine, as the dungeon didn't limit the number of entrants.
The problem arose because this dungeon was somewhat special. The Monsters inside were powerful fire-attribute Monsters, and the fire poison effect was extremely strong.
And a potion called 'Fire Resistance Potion' could just resist this fire poison.
A key ingredient for refining this potion was in Qinghuo Valley, and the yield was not high.
Thus, Qinghuo Valley became a place of contention for various forces.
Members of the Gods Guild were also among them.
The forces were mixed, and conflicts broke out. Several Guild members died in the chaotic battle.
In the Guild channel, most of the combat members of the Gods Guild had already gone to Qinghuo Valley to compete with players from other forces.
Li Xiang found Liu Yunfeng, who was on the scene, "How many people are on the other side?"
Liu Yunfeng replied in seconds, "At least ten thousand players."
Li Xiang looked at this number and was stunned for a moment.
More than ten thousand?
"Are they all level 50?!"
"No, most of them are below level 50. They are Guilds that set up in Wu Shuang City in advance. There are quite a few of them, probably dozens of Guild forces..."
Li Xiang frowned.
He smelled something unusual.
This... was definitely not a simple resource scramble.
Li Xiang immediately ordered, "All combat members immediately head to Qinghuo Valley, and the combat players from the branch Guilds will go together!"
In the Guild channel, the members were immediately excited when they saw Li Xiang appear.
"Yes!! President!!!"
"Yes!!!"
The four branch Guilds, "Immediately head to Qinghuo Valley!!!"
