The classification of "Redemption"

Lingyun 9ge: I thought our guild would be called 'Lingyun'... Can't we be less casual with names?

Lingyun Yijie: You're not alone...

Si Lian Jiang Chang: Same!

...

Zhou Yue promoted two assistants to officers within the guild, tasking them with researching the guild's various functions.

For example, guild skills and the like.

Yang Jian glanced at it twice, then closed the window and paid no further attention.

Great power belongs to oneself; leveling up is paramount! I want to be the number one big brother on the leaderboard; I want to be the inaugural big shot!

In the novels I used to read, protagonists who transmigrated to worlds invaded by other realms were always small fry, suppressed by others.

I also want to be a big shot and suppress newcomers...

Having gathered all sorts of supplies, Yang Jian once again stepped out of Newbie Village.

Three full moons in the sky illuminated the wilderness in the dark of night, making it clearly visible, and the cold white light made it more comfortable for the eyes.

Heading eastward, on this second night, there were more players in the wilderness.

Not to mention the level one and two monster areas, even in the territories of level four Wild Boars and level five Wolves, there were scattered small teams grinding for experience!

Ignoring these low-level players, Yang Jian jogged towards the seaside.

Exiting Newbie Village, east leads to the sea, and west leads to mountains and dense forests!

Nighttime visibility was already inferior to daytime, and venturing into the small woods made it too easy to be ambushed.

The seaside was better; the view was open, and the monsters were enormous...

Starting from the estuary where Nat Pagle fished last night, he headed north, continuously grinding wild monsters.

Arcane Shot, Viper Sting, Multi-Shot...

When he encountered a crab, he instantly killed it; when he encountered a sea turtle, he added a Hunter's Mark and then instantly killed it!

This method of fighting was extremely fast for leveling up.

Three hours later, when he arrived at the entrance of the Kobold Mine again, Yang Jian was already ranked second on the level leaderboard.

First place: Yueyin Qingya, Level 6 87%, Class: Mage, Guild: Star Palace (Vice-President).

Second place: Tianmu Zhenjun, Level 6 79%, Class: Hunter, Guild: Star Palace (President).

Third place: Templar Knight Borg, Level 6 62%, Class: Paladin.

Fourth place: Si Lian Jiang Chang, Level 6 60%, Class: Taoist.

Fifth place: Laurence Rost, Level 6 58%, Class: Warrior.

Sixth place: Sakura First Sword Saint, Level 6 55%, Class: Warrior...

After looking at the leaderboard, Yang Jian's face immediately darkened. What was the meaning of adding the guild there?

That's ridiculous!

He checked, and the top ten on the leaderboard were decent, with four people from Xia Nation.

The top twenty, however, were a bit disappointing, with only six...

It's a long and arduous road if they want to contend with foreign powers!

Fortunately, this game wasn't a country-versus-country competition, so Yang Jian stopped paying attention to them.

However, this Si Lian Jiang Chang piqued Yang Jian's interest. Was it the 'Si Lian' he was thinking of?

While Yang Jian was paying attention to the leaderboard, others were also watching.

Laurence Rost: "This guild was actually founded by the game's number one and number two players. It seems we won't be able to buy it..."

"Give us a hint! What monsters drop it?"

"Heh heh, upstairs, is your cerebellum atrophied?"

"Are you trying to die?"

"Upstairs, stop arguing! Just check the world announcement records; use your brain, okay?"

...

"Oh my god, a Bronze-level BOSS? I can't even beat an Iron-level one right now!"

"Then why aren't you leveling up and still chatting in this group? Look at the big shots on the leaderboard; is any of them chatting here?"

Laurence Rost: ...?

Yang Jian just watched for amusement.

He looked at the mine, then at the endless beach.

Never mind, no matter what, I must catch a reliable tank pet today!

He fought monsters and skinned them along the way, occasionally digging a few shovelfuls at wild ore veins he spotted.

When a golden light flashed around him, he checked his watch; he had been grinding for 5 hours!

This leveling speed was a bit slow!

He checked his backpack; he had already skinned 127 pieces of light leather, and even more turtle shells, over two hundred!

He looked at his main attributes after leveling up.

Nice, there are still six and a half hours until my talent upgrades!

I'm about to become even stronger.

However, as the guild president, my level definitely can't be suppressed by the vice-president!

The ideal was full, but reality was stark.

Just as Yang Jian resolved to diligently level up, he discovered a satisfactory sea turtle ahead.

Name: Little Sea Turtle with some cultivation value (Green)

Description: Possesses a trace of demon beast bloodline. Although it might not be very useful, it's much stronger than the common ones on the beach.

Note: Not the best, but better than nothing!

Yang Jian could only constantly comfort himself, it's Newbie Village, what good things could there be?

Having this kind is already pretty good...

After twenty minutes of back-and-forth, he finally captured this Little Sea Turtle.

Little Sea Turtle, LV1

Pet, Tank (Green)

Talent, Demonic Bloodline

Attributes: ...

In this rotten game, everything can be colored.

From what he understood so far, whether it was equipment, talents, or pets in the game, they could all be distinguished by color to indicate their rarity.

Taking equipment as an example: Trash (Grey), Common (White), Good (Green), Excellent (Blue), Epic (Purple), Legendary (Orange), Demigod (Gold), Divine (Red).

As for whether there were more colors after that, it was currently unknown.

And regarding the grading of BOSSes, currently it was Iron-level, Bronze-level, Silver-level... As for what came after, although he hadn't seen them, he could guess!

So, based on what he knew so far, none of his pets were particularly great!

His current Little Boar and Little Sea Turtle were both green, while the Little Wild Wolf was white...

They weren't even worth naming!

He dismissed the wild boar and summoned the Little Sea Turtle to level up.

Walking back, Yang Jian planned to grind all the Kobolds again!

At 6 AM game time, the three full moons successively disappeared, and the blood moon effect vanished.

Yang Jian, with a backpack full of equipment and materials, hearthstoned back to town.

The guild warehouse was currently unusable. Only after reaching the main city, purchasing a private property, and binding it as the guild's stronghold could the guild warehouse function be used!

It had to be said, it was quite troublesome!

Therefore, the meaning of starting a company and hiring 'cattle and horses' was precisely this.

Everything would be done by others. Yang Jian would assign tasks to Zhou Yue, and Zhou Yue would assign them to her subordinates!

Logically speaking, when starting a company, control over money and personnel power must be kept in one's own hands.

When he founded Chuangsheng, Yang Jian did the same.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be 'General Yang', who started from scratch and became famous throughout Linhai!

Now, switching to the game studio, it was mainly because in such a game, great power belonged to oneself!

Rebellion?

First, let's see if your bones are hard enough. It's already the apocalypse; you wouldn't still want to talk to me about Xia Nation laws, would you?

So Yang Jian wasn't in the least bit anxious. He completely delegated authority: 'You all can work boldly and without worry!'

If anyone tried to betray him, he would instantly kill them the moment they showed their head!

Moreover, guilds in the game had one advantage: the guild president had the power to kick anyone at any time...

He tidied up his backpack thoroughly and then checked his talent. The number of devoured items had already reached 45.

In another five hours, his talent would upgrade!

The path to godhood begins in five hours.

He rented a single room in the inn, lay on the bed, and logged off!

He had money; he could afford to spend it lavishly!

However, the price of copper coins not only didn't drop but showed a trend of increasing!

Alas, these NPCs are not at all tight-lipped.

Yang Jian estimated that the secondary forces in reality should have also caught wind of it by now.

He exited the game, and outside, it was dusk!

Inside out, he wasn't sleepy, which gave Yang Jian a sense of dissociation!

Thinking like this was a bit overly sentimental.

This was almost equivalent to doubling his lifespan; he didn't need to sleep at all, and his mind was still very sharp!

This would make those who were old and frail, or suffered from insomnia and many dreams, incredibly envious.

The good news was that each game helmet was bound to an account.

This meant that even the wealthiest and most powerful tycoons couldn't seize a helmet that someone else had already used.

Of course, this was very unfriendly to studio players.

After all, the helmet you use does not legally belong to you!

Fortunately, Boss Yang didn't have much intention of exploiting others.

If you work hard, I'll provide plenty of Xia Yuan... But if you harbor rebellious thoughts, then you can only say goodbye to New World!
