Chapter 563: Chapter 563: If There are no Dreams
Li Yao spoke directly in the guild channel: “The guild base has finally been established. I can see the excitement and happiness in your eyes. I feel the same way. After all, this is not just my guild, but everyone’s guild.”
“Some may find these words cliché, but still, I need to say that the blueprint for this base I envision is big, bigger than you can imagine. Some might say, how big can it be? It’s just a base, at most a small town or a city. Eventually, everyone will be able to have their own house in the residential area. You can consider this place as your home in the game rather than staying daily in an inn, without even a place to keep a pet or store stuff.”
Li Yao swept his gaze over everyone and continued: “I can assure you that each person will definitely have their own house, I can guarantee that. Preliminary planning has been made, I can tell you, our guild will not be like other guilds, where only the main members get houses.”
“The initial plan is for the main members to get a house, and ordinary members can temporarily get a room. But these are temporary arrangements. As the guild is upgraded, everyone will be able to have their own place.”
Many members were immediately excited. Players now have to meet very stringent conditions to rent shops, not to mention buying houses.
Players mostly log off the game in inns, which is very inconvenient. If one could have even a house, it would be so cool.
Especially many growth mechanisms in this game, if you own a courtyard, you can plant flowers, raise all kinds of rare and exotic beasts; it’s a temptation that both life players and combat players cannot resist.
However, the materials needed to build a stronghold are not few, and it requires a lot of manpower and resources. The dispatched craftsmen can only help the guild to complete the basic infrastructure construction.
Everything else requires the guild to cultivate talents in this area. This has led to the situation where even the top guilds only build a few dozen houses, which are all public to the core members.
The forum exploded when a top guild announced it had built a hundred houses in the residential area, causing countless people to envy and hate.
Li Yao directly proposed that everyone would temporarily have a room, and as the guild develops, everyone would have a house. This is simply too crazy. Not to mention manpower, the financial resources alone it would consume were unimaginable.
“Holy shit, this is crazy, it’s like they have more money than they know what to do with.” Guardian Angel’s eyes turned green, he was directly surprised by this plan.
“Hehe, I am a veteran, so I will also have my own home by then.” Daimeng Tonton was very excited. She believed that as long as Li Yao promised, he would definitely do it.
Unparalleled Charmer was also stunned. This plan was really mad.
You should know, a level 3 guild already has 3000 people. As the guild upgrades, the number will grow. The current trend is to build the guild base into a commercial area or transfer station. Few guilds play with a residential area, which has little return on investment.
Don’t look at the NPC building a guild hall in one-hour time, those are city-level craftsmen, and they are building a village-level hall, naturally simple.
But if you let the current rookie-level architects build it, even though the game has greatly simplified many things, it would still take a day or two.
Jian Li didn’t speak, making Unparalleled Charmer curious. She asked, “It seems that the guild leader has consulted with you. Why don’t you object?”
Jian Li said on the veteran channel: “As you all know, his plan is to build a main city, none of you objected to this, so why are you getting so tangled with a small residential area?”
Unparalleled Charmer was speechless, saying, “Isn’t it about building a functional main city, now all guilds are painting a commercial area model?”
“That also counts as a main city, it’s just a different area he envisioned.” Jian Li took out a map saying: “Take a look, this is his concept. This is the wharf area, this is the administrative area, this is the commercial area, this is an adventure area, this is the entertainment area, this is the residential area, this is the peripheral race track, this sea area is the wharf area.”
Seeing the areas marked on the map, the veterans were truly stunned. Everyone was too shocked to speak. Just as Jian Li said, compared to Li Yao’s concept, the residential area was nothing.
However, Li Yao continued to say: “Seeing how happy you all are, is this all you want? I want to tell you that my dream is to make our guild into a main city, and I want this main city to be the biggest city in the game. By then, we will have our own docks, our military fleet, countless merchant ships coming and going, and many more plans. Due to confidentiality, I will not reveal them one by one, but you will witness them with your own eyes.”
“Having said so much, this is just my dream. But now you all are part of Starfire, and I hope this can become one of your dreams too. Someone may say that this is too crazy and unrealistic. But this is a game, we may not dare to dream too big in reality, but can’t we even dream in the game? If we can’t even dare to think of anything while playing a game, then I have nothing else to say.”
Li Yao’s words were not fancy, nor did he have any talent for speech. But with his words, everyone in Starfire was pumped up. Yes, if one did not dare to dream in game, then what’s the point of playing.
Of course, Li Yao didn’t know that his concept of the main city eventually leaked out, making countless people sneer at it, but also made countless people want to join Starfire.
After the members discussed for a few minutes, Li Yao waved his hand to interrupt everyone. He said, “I don’t need you to raise your hand to vote or echo. I believe time will prove everything. Some people will say, how could this possibly succeed? What I want to say is, we might fail, but we have shined brilliantly. We have many enemies. Difficulties and dangers are necessary. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a thorny path.”
“Although today’s base construction is a happy event, as you all saw, the crisis is not over. Our enemies will attack soon. What should we do?”
“****ing hell.”
“Kill as many as they send.”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
Everyone said different things, but in the end all were condensed into one word.
“The morale is high, good, then let’s fight!” Li Yao’s face turned serious as he said, “If we are to fight, we cannot just fight blindly. With so many people, we can’t act recklessly. So, I’ve made some rules that everyone must obey during that time. If anyone doesn’t want to, they can leave now. But if no one steps out and violates the rules later, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”…
