Chapter 603: Chapter 603: A Chess Game
Even though Li Yao had been a lone wolf in his previous life, he had seen many gaming strategies and had a variety of ways to recruit NPCs.
Once these NPCs arrive in his territory and are provided with better conditions, he could figure out their needs and attend to them accordingly. There’s no reason why they would leave.
After all, a guild station cannot solely rely on players. NPCs are indispensable to constitute a strong station.
But if he were to look for them in the main city, it would be too challenging since the current guild station status was nothing more than a basic village.
The current guild leader and others are just at the level two, which doesn’t make anyone feel secure.
When Li Yao had first come here, he had this plan in mind, although he wasn’t sure about its feasible execution.
After all, these soldiers aren’t weak; they’re all elite at silver hero level, and the centurion even possesses the potential to become a boss.
As the guild levels up and the guild building functions upgrade, they would also be able to progress and grow.
Originally, these soldiers all belong to the Marine Kingdom, and they are excellent in both land and naval warfare.
Hence, when in the territory, they could efficiently train new soldiers, sailors, and form a security team.
As for these common people, dealing with them is even easier. In the territory, there are many fertile fields outside the station; expecting guild living players to farm isn’t realistic.
Also, many ordinary players are skilled at life occupations, and various shops can be opened in the guild station.
As such, the guild station would genuinely have an ambiance, marking a promising beginning.
As the saying goes, well begun is half done. If he can initiate everything appropriately, other NPCs seeing the lively scenario would naturally be more manageable to deal with. The herd mentality still works here.
Li Yao directly found a tent to rest, feeling incredibly satisfied.
Even those super guilds, currently, have their stations leveled up to small-town status. But that’s due to the function building upgrades, without many NPCs around them.
According to Li Yao’s estimation, there are at least several hundred NPCs here. Accommodating such a group of people would tremendously benefit the guild station.
Li Yao shared this information with Sister Li, who was also delighted.
She said musingly, “So you had this plan! But those houses are still in the construction, and it won’t finish soon. If that’s the case, I can adjust the focus a little bit towards this.”
“Yeah, even though it’s going to take a while to get things in order, it won’t take long. We just need to get their housing situation sorted out sooner; they won’t be idle once they are in. Their hometown has been destroyed, and they don’t have a specific destination, consider them as refugees. They will have to work to survive. Once we have sorted out their accommodations, you can issue tasks or whatever, this way they can continue to live and our guild construction can progress faster.”
“That’s a good plan. I will start planning for it, farming, workshop, logging field, all operations can turn around. Once these people arrive, there won’t be any stop.” Sister Li also understood the benefits of having NPCs and began to envisage the future.
Li Yao nodded, “That’s right, there are two more things you need to look after: build an Inn and a tavern, use the tavern as a guild mission dispatch location. Also, remember to purchase some fishing boats. These people used to live at the sea; there must be many of them who know how to fish.”
“You are very thorough. If we put our heart into it and show sincerity, we will definitely be able to keep them all.” Sister Li glanced at the time “Ok, I won’t keep you now, I have to go back to my work. Our guild players are full of enthusiasm, no one is resting at night.”
“Ok, you go ahead.” Li Yao ended the call and finally felt at ease. To keep these people here, the first step worked out just fine. As for future strategies, it could be considered later. It was not an immediate concern.
Li Yao slept for a few hours, and when he woke up feeling bored, he opened the forum.
He found that because of what he had done, the forum was in chaos. Players were discussing the divine artifacts!
After experiencing this mainline dungeon, players are no longer strangers to the God of Nightmare.
The grand sacrifice ceremony of such a big tribe is of course not simple. Even if there’s no divine artifact as the NPC stated, they would still go crazy for gold dress or dark gold dress equipment.
The forum was full of speculations about its specific location. Of course, there were many abuses as well.
“Damn it! If you have released the video, you must know its specific location, why not tell us? Why playing hide and seek?”
But there was no other way, the person who released the video hasn’t responded since, many players tried to private message him in-game, or text, but got zero response.
Everyone had no choice but to analyze the video. The analysis results based on the style of the buildings and the cells indicated that it must be Ogre’s place.
Then players started to analyze. The level must be below thirty or, the current players wouldn’t be able to accept such a task.
Then the players started to flood into the library. After everyone’s analysis and summary, there are at least over 20 places under Ogre’s territory, in different areas of two continents.
Many players are almost in tears, there are so many places, it just makes things extremely challenging.
Most of the players gave up, whether it is a divine artifact is still questionable. What if they pick the wrong place, it would be so frustrating!
“Your actions have caused a significant commotion, even Sorcerer almost couldn’t hold back. She discussed this matter with me only then I found out you are behind this.” Sister Li gave a wry smile.
Li Yao smiled and said, “The so-called divine artifact is actually part of the Dark Touch. If I could deal with it alone, I wouldn’t play around like this. You don’t need to tell the guild members about this, just focus on the guild constructions.”
“Huh, saying this would surely make some people unhappy. Let me think of a way.” Sister Li ended the call again.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Li Yao did not hurry to the Ogre’s place but went to the Ogre’s trial ground, found some scattered Ogres and Devil Tyrannosauruses to level up peacefully.
The experience required after level 25 has increased significantly, Li Yao has also started to take it seriously.
Going to Ogre City is too dangerous now. As a single player, he wouldn’t be able to be successful anyway, so he gave up and waited for other players to arrive.
Just like this, two days passed quickly, Li Yao is almost at level 26.
The number of players in the game increased dramatically during these two days. When the guild’s exploration discovers the imprisoned NPC and the rescue mission is released by the northern watchtower,
The players who came here all confirmed their judgments, they were all extremely excited, and they all kept silent unanimously. None of them published the judgments on the internet.
Everyone wanted to get the so-called divine artifact, the fewer people there are, the greater their chances are. Everyone here is not a fool, these people were laughing about the people who went to the wrong places.
Many of these people were confident enough to attack the Ogre city with limited manpower. In the end, they failed miserably and suffered heavy losses.
Li Yao continued to level up leisurely, waiting for an opportunity…
