450 They are on the Wrong Path (1/2)

The core of this guild was exclusively players, but there were many NPCs in it who were responsible for simple but laborious work, such as loading, unloading, and watching over the warehouses of cheap goods.

As for the expensive goods, they were all stored in the players' system Backpacks.

The guild had about 230 players, but the number wasn't fixed. Occasionally, new players might join the guild, and old players might quit.

They hired more than five thousand NPCs. They had set up warehouses and logistics points in all the commercial cities in Hollevin.

They even had one warehouse in Delpon.

It was safe to say that the business tentacles of the Cornucopia had been unfurled in Hollevin.

They were more or less capable of manipulating the economy of Hollevin.

The soar of the magic material prices was actually their work.

But interestingly enough, the players of this guild were only level two on average, although the average level of all the players was reaching level two. They were below average.

Roland read the report for a while and threw it aside. He completely lost interest in them.

Economy and business were indeed important, but not as important as strength.

Those players who were only level two cared too much about money.

But strength was what mattered most in this world.

However powerful the Cornucopia was, could it be more powerful than the Coalition of Progress?

The thousand passionate players of the Coalition of Progress were level five on average. They had at least 100,000 NPCs who were armored, well-trained soldiers.

If they were a guild, F6 and the Phoenix Guild would've been dwarfed.

But even an organization as powerful as that had been destroyed in two days.

The Cornucopia was nothing worth mentioning compared to them!

One-tenth of the Phoenix Guild would be more than enough to annihilate them.

”They're on the wrong path,” Roland remarked casually.

In a peaceful world, it wasn't wrong to focus on business, because capitalism was devastatingly powerful in a peaceful world. But in this world, one should not focus on business until they were strong enough, or someone else would attack them and claim their earnings in the end.

If the Cornucopia could not hire a powerful mercenary army quickly, something would happen to it within half a year.

Roland reached this conclusion after reading the intelligence.

Then, he dropped this matter and focused on magic.

Though he couldn't work on casual spells anymore due to the lack of new files, he could practice other spells, such as Grease.

Roland had barely used this spell because it was pointless for him.

Those Mages would make the enemy slip with Grease, tie them up with Spider Web, and set fire on them with Inferior Fireball.

The oil and the spider web could both make the fire burn harder, which indirectly increased the damage.

This was the favorite combo of new Mages.

Roland had already skipped that phase. An Inferior Fireball from him was enough to ruin half a football field.

However, it didn't mean that Grease was useless.

Roland had found that the ”oil” summoned by Grease was from the void, and that it was not only flammable but also edible. Besides, it tasted quite good.

Then, Roland had an idea… Since the oil was edible, he could improve the magic model and increase the amount of the oil that was summoned, unlike other people who focused on making enemies fall with the oil.

If he succeeded, he could disseminate the magic model, and the Mages who were short of money and who were from poor families would be able to sell the oil they made every day with this spell, so that their lives wouldn't be as hard.

Oil was rather expensive in this world. Besides, the oil from the void was transparent and tasted good. It would definitely sell well for its quality.

Roland even wondered if other Mages would be inspired by him and create other spells that could feed people. If so, the Mages could probably be also known as ”producers” in the future.

He instantly got to work.

Roland secluded himself and began to modify the magic model of Grease.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of oil summoned by Grease was half a kilogram each time. It could cover an area of around ten square meters, reducing the friction within to almost zero.

The quantity of the oil was too small. He had to make improvements.

Roland's modification plan went well in the beginning.

The amount of oil he summoned rose steadily, but it hit a bottleneck when the yield reached three kilograms.

He couldn't increase the yield at all.

Roland was rather confused.

He changed the model a million times, only to no avail.

He didn't know what the reason was.
