Li Yao returned to Undercity, and placed his acquired items into the warehouse. His backpack held more than twice the capacity of an ordinary player.
In addition to the standard side bag, he also had equivalent mechanical spaces, such as the Fire Hawk’s space and the Little Turtle’s space.
But all these spaces were jam-packed, most of which were occupied by equipment. Besides the equipment dropped in dungeons, most of them were intercepted from the players Li Yao had killed. Li Yao had slain countless players, and some unlucky ones would drop Purple Equipment.
Aside from earning military merits, this was the reason Li Yao was so keen to kill. It attracted many experts to challenge him, and then he would kill them to get their equipment. This was much easier than killing a boss.
Li Yao initially wanted to complete a task to locate the headquarters, but the players had not yet found all the tag points. Learning from a private chat that they seem to have encountered a random task and must complete it, Li Yao was not in a hurry, so he just went home.
“Are you defying the heavens? You brought back more loot from one outing than others could get in a month.” The guardian angel was amazed as Li Yao kept stashing equipment in the guild’s warehouse. His loot was simply too abundant.
Apart from ordinary players who couldn’t even compare to Li Yao, even the experts didn’t have this much loot. Few dozens pure purple equipment, despite lots of low-level ones, would never become obsolete due to the constant influx of new players.
“It’s not bad. Although none of the items are top-notch, I managed to replace some of my low-level equipment.” Li Yao gave several people the authority to take the level 15 Purple Equipment, and said, “These level 15 Purple Equipment can be used as a placeholder in the warehouse. You can claim them when you reach level 15.”
“The level 10 Purple Equipment I originally prepared for Big Brother is now useless.” After looking at Li Yao’s equipment, Daimeng Tongtong was displeased.
Li Yao patted Tongtong on the head and said, “Ha ha, I received your kindness. Just keep any better equipment you get for me in the future.”
“Okay.” Daimeng Tongtong dropped the Purple Equipment she wanted to give to Li Yao into the guild warehouse. “Let’s consider it my contribution to the guild.”
As usual, Sister Li awarded points to those who contributed to the guild according to the regulations. These records were all documented in the guild panel.
Following Li Yao, the crew arrived at his Engineering Laboratory where Candy who disliked sweets was still busy working diligently.
Sister Li whispered, “This young lady is very hardworking. It’s like she lives here without any breaks. You’d better advise her.”
“Boss, I complete your tasks first every day and send them to your mailbox.” Candy nervously said.
Li Yao nodded and praised her, “Hmm, I saw that. The quality of the things you make is very good, especially the bullets, perfect.”
“Thank you, boss.” Candy instantly broke into a pure smile.
“I heard that you’re here all the time. That’s not healthy. Don’t get too tired. After all, playing a game should be relaxing.” Li Yao, noticing that Candy was about to continue working, quickly advised her. He wasn’t a negligent employer. Engineering work was indeed mentally demanding; long periods of repetition would inevitably lead to mental exhaustion.
Candy immediately became tense, “Boss, do you think I am using the lab too much? If so, I can go…”
Li Yao, rubbing his temples, quickly cut off the overthinking young girl, saying, “You misunderstood. I am genuinely concerned about your well-being, remember you can use these resources freely, as I mentioned last time.”
“Oh, I’m not tired at all. The guild’s benefits are very good. Even Engineering will release points-rewarding tasks. I can earn quite a lot of points in a day. There are many engineering blueprints in the guild warehouse, which save me a lot of silver coins. I then convert them into credit points for housekeeping. My mother also asked me to thank the boss. She said that the boss is a great person and urged me to work hard.” Candy’s smile was pure and delighted.
Li Yao was taken aback, just about to ask a question when Daimeng Tongtong beat him to it, “Miss, do you have to work to support your family? You’re amazing.”
“Yes, my mother fell ill and couldn’t work, so things were difficult. But the boss is very kind. My salary is higher than many working people, so it’s completely fine.” Candy answered.
“I see. Have you read the guild rules? If a core member of the guild faces major family difficulties, they can apply for an advance on their salary. If you’re in urgent need of money, as long as you provide your mother’s medical records and the hospital’s certification, I can approve your application.” Sister Li chimed in.
This was a benefit only enjoyed by legendary members of super guilds. Under Li Yao’s strong insistence, Sister Li implemented it among the core members.
In Li Yao’s view, those who could become guild veterans were usually not short of money. Although this benefit seemed appealing, it was not very effective. Only if it was genuinely distributed would it work. This was the real way to increase the cohesion of the guild.
“Thank you, Vice President, but my mother has already received treatment and now only needs rest.” Candy’s eyes were a bit moist. She was still in high school, and with her father no longer around, she truly understood the harshness of the world when her mother fell ill, which shattered her naive worldview.
“Alright, enough crying. You’re a big girl now. Get back to work.” Feng Yi quickly comforted.
The group moved to the other side and Sister Li said, “She should be a good talent to cultivate, but we need to observe her for some time.”
“Yes, caution is the key.” Li Yao was also quite careful. Li Yao began to create special ammunition for his sniper rifle at another engineering table. “Tell me what the three major guilds are up to, what are their main forces doing?”
“Are you actually planning to challenge them by yourself?” Knight asked with a frown.
Li Yao nodded, “I can move around more freely by myself.”
“Wouldn’t it be too risky? Why not organize a guild activity and target their main force directly?” Feng Yi frowned.
“No, Starfire needs room to grow, we can’t afford such a head-on confrontation.” Sister Li categorically disagreed.
“Don’t worry, I can handle it by myself. I’ll send you the killing videos, you can use your influence to post them on the forum. They want to play, let’s play. I’ll accompany them till the end.”
As Li Yao spoke, he did not slow down the creation of his sniper rifle bullets.
“Hmm, the main forces of the three guilds basically have surpassed the Evil Cave and have returned to their normal routine. They mainly focus on guild tasks, guild expansion, or base construction. This is just about it. However, according to the information I received, it seems that the Prosperous Era Guild is planning some significant task or activity. But the information is too scarce to confirm.” Sister Li said.
“A significant activity? I’ll look into it myself.” Li Yao couldn’t wait for them to organize some significant activity.
