Internal meeting of the Star Hall

He shook his head, no longer bothering with this ‘reborn’ person.

As he prepared for the meeting, Yang Jian’s mind was still somewhat dazed.

In the past few months, after the game launched, although he had been focused on improving his strength, he hadn't held many meetings.

However, as the former boss of a technology company, Yang Jian used to hold meetings frequently.

With the Abyssal Monster invasion and the launch of salvation, Yang Jian felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Actually, it hadn't been that long, had it?

Most of the time, Zhou Yue followed the same path as Yang Jian: burying herself in leveling up and ignoring worldly affairs.

It proved that showing off in front of people now felt great, much more enjoyable than lording it over a small guild of a hundred thousand people!

So she didn't have much to say... Both of their gazes turned to the chief housekeeper, Bai Youyou.

Bai Youyou sighed resignedly and began to report on the current state of the guild.

“Currently, Lingyun Studio has signed 199,783 players.”

“Among these, 63,473 are willing to relocate their entire families and meet the guild’s requirements.”

“Another fifty to sixty thousand people have signed limited cooperation agreements!”

As for where the other seventy to eighty thousand people went?

Of course, they wanted to cooperate with the Star Palace’s requirements, but the guild didn’t think highly of them!

Yang Jian was also very selective; he didn't take just anyone.

Some of them were spies.

And the kind of spies with no value.

If their professional abilities were similar to Long Ruoling’s, Yang Jian might have held his nose and accepted them!

But you can’t come causing trouble with a white or even grey talent... What’s wrong with you?

As for the fifty to sixty thousand people with limited cooperation, Yang Jian didn’t pay them much mind.

When the Abyssal Monsters launch a full-scale invasion, they will realize that their wealth won't even be enough to buy a toilet near the Star Palace’s base!

...“Additionally, the guild has 47 purple-tier sub-professional talents, 748 blue-tier sub-professional talents, and 3,496 green-tier sub-professional talents. These individuals are already receiving focused training according to their respective talents!”

Yang Jian’s thoughts were still on the previous topic, and he hadn’t snapped out of his daydream.

Bai Youyou’s report was already over!

Yang Jian blinked.

He quickly flipped through the thick meeting minutes in his hand.

Only then did he realize that the guild’s warehouse, including various materials, weapons, and equipment stored, had also been mentioned.

This novel feeling reminded Yang Jian of learning mathematics back in the day.

All stories must begin with that pen that fell during that math class!

Since Bai Youyou had finished speaking, Yang Jian didn’t dwell on what exactly was said.

In the end, the Star Palace that Yang Jian established was also for handling his own miscellaneous affairs!

It was for him to control the pace.

For example, when it came to something like class advancement, if he had no preparations and completely relied on official communication for the inter-realm teleportation array?

Then he would just wait!

The opportunity to become a god might just disappear in the waiting... Bai Youyou’s report ended.

Naturally, it was the turn of the other vice-guild leader, Mo Suqing.

“Our branch in Longwei County currently has 23,000 permanent residents.”

“Additionally, our guild town is being built to accommodate 500,000 permanent residents and a maximum of 1 million transient population!”

“Currently, the main facilities of the guild buildings will be completed in about twenty days!”

“Other auxiliary facilities can be built later...”

Yang Jian understood what she meant.

Once the main buildings were completed, the spacetime altars connecting the inside and outside could be arranged.

After the altars were set up, they could be directly connected using the City Heart!

This would complete the most crucial step: allowing the physical body to walk in, or controlling the character to walk out!

This would automatically complete the most important step of internal and external integration!

Of course.

At this point, if your physical body modification had not reached 10%, or hadn't even started, then I'm sorry, your level would be permanently capped at 60!

This restriction was actually only for the first generation of players.

Given such great help and benefits, yet only able to achieve this much... living would only be a waste of food!

Of course, besides the demanding path to godhood, ordinary leveling and promotion were not an issue.

So, it was said that as long as one could withstand the first wave of Abyssal Monster invasion, those with ambition would always find a way to compensate for their shortcomings!

But then again!

Initially, leveling up by fighting Abyssal Monsters in the game was the simplest method!

If one couldn't even achieve this step, hoping to make achievements later, unless one had a background... But in a New World, a new era, old backgrounds wouldn't work here!

Yang Jian shook his head.

He felt that recently, besides traveling, he had been mostly browsing the Auction House.

He felt a bit disconnected.

Why was he always lost in thought?

He nodded feignedly for a while.

Yang Jian thought for a moment.

“Alright! We need to speed up the progress here too!”

“I heard that after a Tier 3 guild, one also needs to apply to the main city for establishing an outpost outside the city, and I don’t know how many procedures that will require!”

Yang Jian began to assign tasks to everyone present.

“Compile statistics on all the BOSSes in the entire Eastern Continent, and even the other two continents!”

“Those Golden BOSSes that are likely to drop guild tokens, or those that no one has fought yet!”

“Starting today, I will dedicate half a day every day to go through all the BOSSes in the New World!”

Doing this was both for getting first kills and for acquiring more guild tokens.

One guild token, when submitted, could increase guild points by 100,000!

As the guild leader of the Star Palace, Yang Jian’s guild points were consistently ranked last in the entire guild!

It was indeed indefensible... After all, previous guild tokens were all given to Bai Youyou and the others to submit.

Although the entire Star Palace belonged to him, it didn't sound good!

He still needed to step up.

Additionally, the ‘designated drop’ skill also needed to be used.

If he didn't use it soon, he would forget that the Titan Necklace had this authority.

Zhu Zhongliang, the head of the intelligence team, first acknowledged Yang Jian’s instructions.

Then he began his own report!

As someone specialized in collecting intelligence both inside and outside the game, Zhu Zhongliang first spoke about the recent changes in the game.

“Since the expansion pack was launched, several public dungeons have been opened in major cities!”

“Public dungeons are divided into three difficulties: Normal, Heroic, and Abyssal!”

“Although Normal difficulty has poor drops, it is very friendly to players with poor talents, slow leveling, and those in life professions!”

“The overall leveling speed of players has significantly increased!”

“The drop rate in Heroic difficulty is actually quite good! Of course, it can’t compare to the BOSSes you find in the wild!”

“The same public dungeon can only be cleared three times a day! Regardless of difficulty, they share three cooldowns!”

“So, players’ leveling speed is much faster now than before...”

After discussing the changes in the game, Zhu Zhongliang began to talk about the distressing events that had occurred across Blue Star recently.

Much of what was seen online had already been heavily edited and reduced.

Moreover, Yang Jian only had half an hour a day, and he often spent it watching news on platforms!

What serious news could one find on those platforms?

Any spare time was spent looking at legs.

Occasionally, he'd stumble upon a few bloggers whose current affairs discussions were heavily biased with personal emotions.

Their stances were either left-leaning or right-leaning!

He could only say he knew such things existed.

Fair and objective evaluations were out of the question.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhongliang’s job was precisely this.

Yang Jian didn’t need any valuable secret intelligence.

He only needed Zhu Zhongliang to report the situation truthfully and impartially... After all, the most confidential intelligence on all of Blue Star was with Yang Jian.

A small business park, with tens of thousands of people living there, yet it attracted the covetous gazes of major nations worldwide.

At first, he had a half-hearted, 'riding a donkey to find a horse' attitude towards his current job.

As he used his position to deeply understand the essence of this world, he now worked diligently, fearing that his boss would fire him for incompetence.

Securing his position as the head of this intelligence team, he might become a prominent figure in the future!

“The Four Great Nations have all engaged in combat with the Abyssal Monsters, both in the game and in reality! Currently, they have been completely defeated, unable to even break through their defenses!”

“They tried it in reality too?”

Hearing this news, Yang Jian was truly surprised.

Impossible, right?

“Yes, the three great nations all tried to arrange for people to summon Abyssal Monsters for a siege...”

The results go without saying!

It was probably a heavy loss of life.

After all, if conventional weapons could deal with the Abyssal Monsters, the World Will wouldn't be so worried all the time.

“What happened next?”

Yang Jian looked at Zhou Yue.

Since he hadn’t acted, then the one who killed those attracted Abyssal Monsters could only be Zhou Yue!

Wait! Three great nations?

“The EU nations don’t need to be specifically attracted; currently, those causing large-scale trouble are all their member states!”

“Currently, Blue Star has experienced thirteen Abyssal Monster incursions in total.”

“Xia Nation twice, Bear Empire once, Milijian once, and the rest were all in the EU nations!”

“Xia Nation twice?”

“Yes, Chen Zihao’s time, and this experimental one!”

Yang Jian nodded.

It’s good to let them know how difficult the Abyssal Monsters are to deal with!

If they can’t even defeat the Abyssal Monsters, they probably won’t dare to have any ideas about Yang Jian and Zhou Yue...
