Chapter 73 - So Many People Searching (1/2)

How wealthy was a gaming guild in reality?

Roland wasn’t too clear on this. However, he knew that the majority of rich gamers came from gaming guilds, and even established their own gaming guilds.

These rich people were all very wealthy in real life, but they couldn’t find anything exciting to do—they didn’t smoke or gamble, so they could only invest in online games.

Acquiring the finest equipment that cost several hundred thousand yuan was as simple as eating a meal and drinking water.

Roland once heard a news story that was quite credible. In a certain turn-based game based off Journey to the West[1], a rich player bought the finest weapon which had no level restriction and guaranteed critical hit off the official auction house. The weapon was worth roughly one million yuan.

And according to the rich player himself, he had spent nearly ten million yuan on the game.

This was merely one of the many rich players inside the game.

This rich player was only a solo player, whereas some rich players recruited other players to form a small organization with themselves at the center. Those organizations that were relatively better and properly organized slowly developed into gaming guilds.

Upon hearing Hawk’s words, Roland knew that the Silver Wings guild leader was also definitely a rich person.

Moreover, judging from Hawk’s gold purchasing behavior from before, he was also most likely a rich person.

“But I don’t have many gold coins every month,” Roland said after a moment’s thought.

Hawk, however, laughed. ” Yeah, you don’t have much money now, but you will have a lot of money in the future. So long as one is a Mage, they’ll have to pay you one gold coin as tribute. This matter is unavoidable—in the future, you’ll be the richest player in the game.”

Pay as tribute… These words sound quite embarra.s.sing.

Roland thought for a moment and said, “All right, if I really have a lot of gold coins in the future, I’ll sell them to you at market price.”

Upon seeing Roland agree, Hawk laughed happily and said, “Thanks, it’s a pleasure to work with you. Oh, that’s right, our guild leader told me to advise you once again to join Silver Wings—the pay can be negotiated.”

“Sorry, I already joined a guild.”

Hawk’s expression suddenly turned into one of confusion. There were only a few famous large guilds in the gaming world. They were in the middle amongst them, not being very famous but having some sort of relevance.

However, their guild leader had a strong sense of foresight. He acutely felt that this game had great prospects, so he bought immersive cabins in advance for many players in the guild.

While many guilds thought that Penguin Corporation’s propaganda was fake, they had already a.s.sembled the members, specifically found a small city, and rented a large building as the guild’s temporary headquarters. All the members that had immersive cabins were living in this place.

Everyone moved as a collective.

The guild leader’s original idea was to use the advantages of unity to do something big, seizing the resources in game.

However, he never expected that every player’s sp.a.w.n point would be randomized.

Moreover, the game’s map was exceptionally large.

Hundreds of members were scattered across the various lands of Hollevin. As a result, they didn’t even cause a splash.

“What guild?” Hawk couldn’t help but ask.

“F6!”

“Oh!” Hawk let out a sigh of relief—fortunately, it wasn’t their adversary, Church of Garland. Then, he immediately came to a realization. “F6, as in the first guild inside the game?”

Roland nodded.

At this moment, Hawk looked to be somewhat at a loss.

The appearance of the guild F6 confused many people in the world of gaming guilds. They wondered what game this guild emerged from and how come they never heard of them.

Something that large guilds like them couldn’t do at the moment, how could a small guild possibly accomplish?

Was it luck, or was it pure strength? There were many theories.

After staying silent for a while, Hawk suddenly said with a brazen look on his face, “Since you’re a member of F6, seeing that we’re friends, can you divulge how you guys created a guild and how you guys did it so quickly? And whether or not a guild has any special functions?”
