Upgrade and expand your team

Two figures, one yellow and one black, galloped across the wide plain.

Behind them trailed a long string of wild monsters.

"This kind of fighting style... we can't learn it!"

Xia Mingwei had originally wanted to see how the experts leveled up.

She had teamed up with Yang Jian to level up before.

But that was only when they were in Newbie Village 12315, fighting crabs and killing murlocs by the coast.

Ever since the Guild Leader arrived in Zhenhai City early, he had barely teamed up with guild players again!

After all, the expert himself was far ahead, and the others couldn't even see his taillights.

This time, being able to level up together again, Xia Mingwei still wanted to learn from him... As a result... Yang Jian jumped up, and upon landing, he had already transformed into his hunter form.

Misdirection was cast onto Mo Song, who had just arrived.

Mo Song, as usual, circled with a group of beasts.

Watching the level 30 to 40 beasts fall dead in swathes before their eyes, the guild members truly realized Yang Jian's power.

As Yang Jian's strength increased, grinding monsters became increasingly effortless.

After fifteen minutes, Yang Jian, the highest level, only gained 14% experience points.

This was still because he had an experience orb.

Meanwhile, Xia Mingwei, the lowest level, had already reached level 14!

"Clean up the battlefield, time is precious; I can only lead you for one night..."

"Guild Leader, do you have other plans for tomorrow during the day?"

Bai Youyou and Mo Suqing sat motionless, looking as if they were daydreaming.

In fact, they really were daydreaming.

After all, the two of them, with a group of people, were currently reviewing players applying for guild game slots!

"Yang Jian, is it really okay for us to use the in-game contract panel? This thing... will it really be protected by the game's laws?"

Bai Youyou looked at the contract template provided by the official salvation game and just felt it was unreliable.

Especially the first sentence of the contract: 'Great God of Contracts above, the two parties hereby sign this contract under the witness of the God of Contracts...' The feeling of unreliability rushed over her.

Those players who signed the contract must be laughing like crazy now, right?

Even if they sought endorsement from national law?

To be honest, Star Palace's move, Confucius didn't understand, Mencius didn't understand, and Laozi didn't understand either!

So now the entire internet is in a state of confusion... especially those ordinary players who signed up but didn't get a random slot.

Is this kind of contract really not just a charity handout?

"Blue Star Players Should Change Their Cognition and Mindset!"

This post was published online for only an hour, and its readership exceeded ten million.

'As everyone knows, Blue Star has always been a planet based on mathematics and physics.'

'Xia Nation has even popularized materialistic education for over a hundred years, but the times are different!'

'Look at the cracks in the sky, look at the constantly full moon gradually turning red...'

'Everything is clearly telling us that the times have changed, and our generation is experiencing unprecedented major changes!'

'Currently, it seems that Tianmu Zhenjun and Star Palace are ahead of everyone else; since they dare to use such... divine contracts, then it might bring even stricter supervision and enforcement!'

'I've also seen Star Palace's contract; the terms are generous, but the cost of breach is also very high!'

'If you don't sincerely intend to fulfill it, it's best not to try to scam a slot with an indifferent attitude!'

'Be careful not to experience unbearable pain in life...' This post was sent by Yang Jian himself using a small account... In three to five hundred words, he explained to the world what a divine contract is.

Incidentally, he clarified the consequences of breach to people beforehand.

With a divine contract, you cannot be a deadbeat... Innocent breach can make you experience what divine punishment is!

Under this post, tens of thousands of comments have already been posted.

"Really? Why does it sound so creepy? I just wanted to trick my way into a game slot... It can't be that serious, can it?"

"Brother upstairs, I've also seen Star Palace's contract; isn't it a tiered penalty? Why don't you try breaching it?"

"Exactly! Exactly! Anyway, the first minor breach isn't serious..."

"Have you all read the thirty-page contract? Didn't you just scroll directly to the last page and sign?"

"Brother, you are truly brave, I admire you! Don't you even look at the task details?"

"No, I didn't! I went directly into the work group, and I just complete the tasks according to the group's requirements every day, right? I never thought about breaching it!"

"Brothers, wait for me; Star Palace gives daily tasks. I'll see tomorrow if I don't complete them, and then we'll know if this contract is really effective!"

"Good! Among these tens of thousands of signed people, only you, brother, are a true man!"

"Yes, I support you, what kind of gods and monsters! Confucius did not speak of strange powers and chaotic spirits!"

..."After watching for a long time, I didn't want to speak, but I really couldn't hold it in anymore! That idiot upstairs, think about how your helmet was given to you, then decide whether to breach the contract..."

"Don't remind him! I still want to see what the divine punishment process is like! See if there's any possibility of exploiting a bug..."

"You're still the darkest!"

Zhou Yue and Xia Mingwei were cleaning up the aftermath, and Yang Jian took a moment to look at his post while resting on the ground.

He almost couldn't get out of the comment section!

One can only say, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of bad birds... Others were also clearly paying attention to the online public opinion.

Xia Mingwei asked Yang Jian while picking up items.

"Guild Leader, will there really be divine punishment if the contract is violated?"

"Yes!"

"Then why is our contract so lenient? Won't this just trick a hundred thousand people into joining?"

Yang Jian looked at Xia Mingwei, a little speechless.

These three sisters really are... each with a different personality!

Only Xia Er's temper and personality are a bit better; the older and younger sisters are too extreme.

"Divine contracts value fairness the most: one effort, one reward! We give them game slots and promise to protect their safety to a limited extent, provided they follow arrangements! This can only be exchanged for them contributing so much to us..."

"Oh, these gods are also just too idle; they meddle in too much!"

At this moment, Bai Youyou spoke.

"Yang Jian, here's another rich person who wants to buy three game slots!"

"Has the money been transferred?"

"It has been transferred."

"Then sell it to him!"

"Won't the game officials be angry? They gave us benefits, and we turn around and sell them for money!"

"Don't worry, as long as we follow the rules, there will be no problem!"

Mo Suqing heard this and felt a little regretful!

She actually didn't really want to sell game slots.

The reason is simple: the more money and effort she put in when building the city in Yun Province, the more say she would have in the future.

In an era where power belongs to oneself, she no longer dreamed of seizing power through shares.

But there's still a big difference between contributing a lot and just being a free rider... She was once stripped of power by Old Mo under some pretext, and then, to pave the way for his son, she was exiled to Yun Province.

Now that she's in this situation, she still wants to climb up, at least to be third in the guild rankings!

When she meets Old Mo and Young Mo again in the future, even if she doesn't make them kneel and listen to her instructions.

At least they should bow and smile obsequiously when speaking to her!

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to swallow this indignity... After all, among those in charge of the guild now, besides herself, there's only Bai Youyou.

If she can just surpass her, she can greatly increase her say.

Yang Jian's strength is so great that there's no chance to even compete, and Zhou Yue's strength is also terrifyingly strong.

The key is that Yang Jian also trusts her especially!

She can only put her efforts into competing with Bai Youyou.

Unfortunately, salvation gave the guild one hundred thousand slots... Suppressing the unwillingness in her heart.

Mo Suqing honestly screened applicants and began recruiting new members for the guild!

Work hard, grasp the present, and opportunities will always be there!

Yang Jian rested for a moment, then went forward to continue his great Skinning enterprise.

"How long have you been leveling up here?"

Zhou Yue, who was picking up drops, suddenly asked.

Yang Jian was a bit puzzled.

"Two or three days!"

"Two or three days... you haven't picked up a single material you need?"

Yang Jian's heart leaped with joy when he heard this.

Listening to that tone, did you find the materials I need?

"What is it?"

Zhou Yue handed over two materials.

Dragon Blood (Purple) x 1, Silver Spirit Crystal (Purple) x 1.

Yang Jian was first delighted, then a little troubled!

"Why only one?"

"How many do you want?"

Zhou Yue was speechless.

"Brother, when you were grinding here yourself, you didn't even find a single usable material..."

Yang Jian thought about it and realized she was right; the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat!

Sometimes, he also really wanted to report Zhou Yue for cheating.

Judging others by himself, Yang Jian strongly suspected that Zhou Yue also wanted to report him!

It's just that neither of them found the report button... "The battlefield has also been cleaned up, what should we do now?"

"Change places and continue grinding!"

"Still need to change places?"

"All the monsters nearby just died here!"

"How far do we go?"

"We need to go north now, but don't cross the river; just grind monsters on this side of the river. Crossing the river isn't very friendly for you!"

...Yang Jian originally only planned to take the four of them for one night of grinding.

But... [Condition Two: Dragon Blood (Purple) 16/30, Troll Jade (Purple) 23/30, Silver Spirit Crystal (Purple) 19/30, Silver Heart (Orange) 1/1]

Mo Song still needed three more ghost grass...

Seeing the sky gradually lighten, the four women in the team also looked exhausted!

Yang Jian found that the monster spawn rate on the map was often directly proportional to the player density.

Like back in Newbie Village, the number of players was very large and dense.

So the monster refresh rate was also very fast.

Because Yang Jian was so far ahead of everyone else, he usually had an entire map to himself.

This led to the monsters refreshing at the slowest speed.

Two hours... monsters that were killed would only refresh after two hours.

Even with the four women, the situation didn't improve much.

If he could stand still in one place and keep grinding, Yang Jian's leveling speed would be many times faster than it is now.

But the reality is, it's not possible... If he forced himself to wait for these monsters to refresh, the efficiency would be too slow.

So he could only divide a piece of land into three or four parts.

Yang Jian directly ground monsters in sections, which was much more efficient!

One game night, Yang Jian led the team to change locations six times.

Traveling took almost an hour.

Yang Jian and Mo Song gathered monsters for about twenty minutes, and killing them took another ten minutes or so.

Half an hour to clean up the battlefield... Even someone as strong as Zhou Yue could only act as a mascot.

To drop the materials Yang Jian needed.

Now, for Yang Jian, other things were no longer important.

What was important was to first gather all the materials he needed for the druid king ring and Mo Song's advancement... The four women successively went offline to rest.

Yang Jian thought about it and also went offline.

The game world had just dawned, and when he came out, the sky was dark again!

The sense of disconnect was quite strong... Walking out of the office, the entire studio felt a buzz of activity.

"Yes, blue and above talents require full-time commitment!"

"Have family?"

"All can be arranged! A family can be arranged to live in one room, including food and lodging!"

"Yes, you know the current situation, right?"

"The benefits mentioned on the official website are all true..."

"What's your talent?"

"White?"

"You just need to submit enough materials every day as required..."

"On-site?"

"Hello? Hello? Bad signal..."

Yang Jian heard this and roughly knew what the situation was.

He immediately ran to Bai Youyou's office to inquire about the news.

"How many people in this batch have good talents?"

"About four or five thousand people! If they all come over, where do we house them? Our four-story building was originally leased for a thousand people!"

Bai Youyou finally shifted her gaze from the list on the computer screen.

"Didn't Director Hu tell you? This entire tech park, all five small buildings, now belong to you!"

Yang Jian frowned.

"How much did they charge?"

Bai Youyou said with annoyance, "They're given to you; the paperwork has all been processed and delivered to you!"

The news is good news, but what about my small city in Yun Province?
