Chapter 312: 312, Crushing Victory! 213.2 billion spiritual energy coins!_1
Since the most powerful Gesang Family had agreed to cooperate, the other five major families no longer had the grounds to refuse.
After a friendly negotiation, both parties went to Sea Serpent Castle to officially sign the cooperation agreement in the main hall of the castle.
As for the Federal Chairman, whom Cecilia had just executed, both parties did not even mention it as if he had never existed.
During the signing of the agreement, Su Yu added a “prohibition against taxation and confiscation of property from civilians” clause into the agreement.
The nobles in Haiyan City didn’t understand why Su Yu added this clause.
However, with an attitude of cooperation, they agreed to the clause without much consideration.
Finally, Mosby Gesang, representing the Hills Federation, and Su Yu, representing the Goldfinch Empire, solemnly signed their names on the cooperation agreement.
After the signing of the agreement, the affairs of Haiyan City came to a temporary end.
Su Yu placed the agreement in his backpack and joyfully left Sea Serpent Castle.
The Snow Leopard had been waiting for a long time in front of the castle.
Seeing Su Yu coming out of the castle with a pleased expression, Snow Leopard breathed a sigh of relief, “Nemesis, has the agreement been reached?”
“Of course!” Su Yu took out the agreement and waved it, “With this agreement, our movements in this area will be unhindered. Everyone is waiting to receive a generous reward!”
“That’s good.” Snow Leopard smiled happily, “I will announce this news in the chat room later.”
“Hmm.” Su Yu scratched his chin, “However, there’s one thing I must remind you to avoid bigger problems in the future.”
“Oh?” Snow Leopard looked at Su Yu.
“It’s about the fair distribution of Contribution Value.” Su Yu explained, “For example, if you receive several million Contribution Value by merely handing in a Fire Dragon Egg, players assigned to minor noble estates might have to slave away to earn a few hundred thousand Contribution Value.”
“Once or twice might be fine, but if this pattern continues, the players will inevitably feel unfair.”
“Our current most important mission is to unite everyone to win the Blue Star defensive battle. Such unfair issues can easily cause fractures among players and impact overall unity.”
“I understand.” Snow Leopard gave Su Yu a high look; he hadn’t expected Su Yu to think so far ahead!
However, he also ensured, “Today, I will come up with a fair distribution plan to provide subsidies for players with fewer Contribution Points.”
“Good, go ahead!” Like a great leader, Su Yu pat Snow Leopard’s shoulder encouragingly.
Snow Leopard was very efficient.
An hour later, a relatively fair “Redistribution Plan for Contribution Points” was produced.
The core content of the plan was for players with high Contribution Value to give a substantial part of their Contribution Value as subsidies to players with low Contribution Value.
However, the distribution wasn’t evenly divided among everyone; instead, it adhered to the principle of “More work, more gain. Less work, less gain.” Players who made significant contributions should be rewarded, while lazy ones should be penalized.
Excluding the rewards and penalties, the Contribution Value held by the players with the highest Contribution Value could not exceed twice that held by players with the lowest Contribution Value. The rewards and penalties would be made public continuously in the chat room, and there would be no underhanded manipulations. So Snow Leopard concluded.
Once the redistribution plan was announced in all big chat rooms, it immediately received unanimous praise from the players!
In particular, the player group assigned to the mini-noble estates was overjoyed:
“This plan came at such a critical time! Praise Boss Ke!”
“Indeed, my teammates and I felt the distribution was unfair. The capture from minor noble estates is several times worse than from major ones!”
“Yes, we also felt it was unfair, but for unity, we didn’t dare to speak.”
“With this plan in place, people can still be enthusiastic even if they’re assigned to less desirable positions!”
“Enough said, Boss Ke is awesome! Snow Leopard is awesome!”
“I can’t wait to go to the next city!”
“Nobles of the Western Continent, your player grandpa is coming!”
Having resolved the issue of allocation, the players grew even more united. Their enthusiasm was fully mobilized and their combat power surged.
For the next month, the players left from the westernmost Haiyan City and headed east. Under the guidance of high-ranking powerhouses, they raided all the towns along the way.
The nobles of the Western Continent could only watch tearfully as their properties were being raided by the players, who left after looting everything.
Soon after, the regular army of 200,000 from the Hills Federation also joined in on the raid.
To prevent these NPC troops from embezzling the loot, Su Yu took proactive measures, assigning a player as a supervisor to every 100 NPC soldiers.
The loot from the NPC soldiers was handed over to the players, who then handed it over to Su Yu. Su Yu then gave 30% of the haul to the Hills Federation.
Under the careful supervision of the players, the Hills Federation army was not able to take much for themselves.
Moreover, after the army of 300,000 joined, Su Yu’s mission progress surged dramatically.
When he left Haiyan City, his mission progress stood at “211.3 billion” spiritual energy coins.
After sweeping through the entire Hills Federation, the task progress reached “585.7 billion”.
After clearing more than twenty small royal city-states, the task progress even surpassed “1000 billion”! It was three times the amount required by the Princess’s task.
The players were particularly excited.
1000 billion!
On average, each person could receive 10,000 spiritual energy coins.
This was an enormous sum of money for players at this stage!
Everyone was highly enthused.
When the news was spread to the official forum, everyone was filled with a mixture of envy and resentment.
While Su Yu was on a “Great Kill All Sides” spree in the west, Tina was not idle in the east.
Just as Su Yu raided Haiyan City, Tina led 8,000 elite troops and 200,000 players into the Kunke Kingdom, sweeping across the country and aiming directly at the Kunke royal capital.
Kunke, Lu Man, and a few other kingdoms noticed the rapid changes in the situation.
They sent envoys to neighboring city-states, with several major kingdoms leading the way, trying to jointly resist Goldfinch’s sudden attack through unions.
But at this juncture, the Hills Federation played its role.
They had been won over by Su Yu after all, and they obstructed these countries’ union through various means, such as infiltrating spies and rallying groups.
In addition to the short time, large number of countries, and conflicting interests, their union had not been formed when Su Yu and Tina sandwiched and defeated them one by one.
The whole sweep of the Western Continent lasted two and a half months, equivalent to six days in the real world.
When Su Yu and Tina had thoroughly swept the entire Western Continent and finally converged in Lu Man’s royal capital, Su Yu’s mission progress had reached as high as 2132 billion spiritual energy coins! This was seven times the target set by the Princess!
Without any exaggeration, this sweeping operation achieved a tremendous victory!
