290 The Last Straw (2/2)
Unlike Happy Drunk, Han Tianyu played the game to be with Jiang Fei. Materials aside, even if Han Tianyu had given the entire guild to Jiang Fei, Han Tianyu would not feel anything. On the other hand, Happy Drunk was too devoted to the game. The guild was built from scratch and it was like his own son to him. If it did not affect the growth of the guild, Happy Drunk would not mind supporting Jiang Fei with his own progress. However, since the current situation mattered a lot to Happy Drunk, he could not let Jiang Fei affect his judgment.
However, Happy Drunk had to circumvent Han Tianyu and directly inform Jiang Fei. If Han Tianyu knew about it, the man might just command his guild to supply every material they had to Jiang Fei. If that happened, the guild members would never have any chance to submit the quest.
***
Since the supply of materials had been cut off, Jiang Fei would have to start finding ways to resume supplying materials to his territory. The guild armistice will only last for one month. In that period, he must, at the very least, build a wall surrounding the castle ground. If the wall was not built, the territory would be very weak and prone to attack.
After the decision to connect the Teleportation Circle was made, the guild masters had started to discuss the next step after all the materials needed had been submitted. However, because the NPC did not provide any extra information in regards to that matter, no further planning could be done. One thing that was certain was that the commanding leader would be none other than the Aristocrats. The three guild alliance would have advisory power while the other guilds could do nothing but to obey.
Jiang Fei did not bother to listen to the rest of the meeting since his priority was only the materials. Since his guild only had over a hundred players, even if he tried to pull strings with Han Tianyu, he could not be one of the commanding officers. It was different from seating as it only depended on honor. The commanding officers would have authority over matters and most importantly, distribution of reward.
Jiang Fei knew that even if he could be one of the commanding officers, with only over a hundred players in his guild, there was little persuasive power.
Currently, Jiang Fei's guild had a large amount of funding. Counting the sales with Happy Drunk not too long ago, he had over 60,000 gold coins. Additionally, the auction of the Pet Eggs was going to be concluded soon. Jiang Fei was not worried about coins at the moment and he might even be willing to spend 60,000 gold coins on materials. Hence, he planned to spend all that money on buying materials from the market before the news spreads too far.
With the materials bought for and the ones gained from Happy Drunk yesterday, Jiang Fei predicted that he could last for ten days. All he could wish for then was that the quest would end in ten days. If it lasted longer than that, Jiang Fei would have nowhere else to gather materials.
Just as Jiang Fei called for Big Brother Bear and his lackeys to consolidate all the materials bought from players, the news about the material submission quest had started to spread. What followed next was a chain of angry scolding from the players who had sold their materials. Jiang Fei was not the only guild that had started this trend. The only difference between the guilds was the number of materials bought with their own guild budget.
Lucky for Jiang Fei that he acted sooner than the others or else he might not have managed to buy them.
Now that most guilds had their materials, the other pug players were in a bad time. At first glance, they were happy to sell their materials for a slightly higher price since most of them thought that the materials were just random ETC items. However, in just a blink of an eye, the ETC trash that they had just sold became treasures. It was only normal for the players to start scolding the buyers, accusing them of cheating and whatnot.
