“What’s his problem?”
Lin Bei looked at Monka’s back and pursed his lips.
Women would only affect the speed at which I draw my sword.
Have you never heard of the saying?
Without a woman in my heart, drawing the sword will be fast!
That is the logic!
Lin Bei thought to himself, No wonder he is stuck at the emperor-level for so long. It seems that his mind is not clear enough.
Then, Lin Bei comforted Tria and made her happy before leaving with her.
Before leaving, he did not forget to exchange for the four-star membership medal, which cost 10 million points.
It was expensive, but it was quite useful. The Four-Star Medal had many functions. It enabled remote shopping and he enjoyed a 20% discount on all goods. Most importantly, it had the right to increase the membership level. It could increase a Bloodshed Tavern member to three stars at most.
However, the points needed to be paid by him.
Other than that, four-star members could be considered high-ranking members in the Bloodshed Tavern. They had high authority in all branches.
Not only that, but he could also check the exact location of all members below four-star and talk to them.
“No wonder Monka could locate me and contact me previously. So it’s the effect of the four-star membership medal.”
Lin Bei was enlightened.
He looked at the other effects of the Four-Star Medal. It could also remotely accept missions below S-rank, issue missions remotely, have the authority to speak to the upper echelons of the Bloodshed Tavern, and so on.
In short, there were many functions.
The remote and discounted shopping function was already worth it.
“By the way, where’s your brother?”
On the way, Lin Bei looked at Tria and asked curiously.
“Are you talking about Griffith? He was chosen by the seniors in the tavern and he’s following them to cultivate.”
“I see. That’s not bad.”
Lin Bei nodded.
Not long after, Lin Bei arrived at Dark Moon Valley.
“Boss! You’re here!”
In Dark Moon Valley, a surprised voice sounded. Lin Bei looked over and saw the Headless Horseman Ektor running over excitedly.
“You’re Level 50?”
“That’s right! I’ve been absorbing life force here, and my strength increases very quickly!”
Ektor smiled and said, “By the way, I’ve recently recorded the surrounding terrains. Moreover, our people are stationed everywhere. If we build a territory here, it’ll be very safe!”
“Yes, well done.”
Lin Bei praised him and threw him a few pieces of Obsidian-grade equipment. “These are for you. Continue to work hard.”
“Yes, Boss!”
Ektor shouted and left happily.
Lin Bei entered Dark Moon Valley and took out the Level 2 Territory Crystal that he had prepared for a long time. He used it directly.
“Do you want to establish Dark Moon Valley’s territory (Lv.2)?”
“Yes!”
“Do you want to bind the Azure Plume Guild to Dark Moon Valley’s territory?”
“Yes!”
“The territory has been established successfully! We wish you a happy game!”
Splash!
A ray of moonlight rippled like waves. Soon, a bright moon appeared in the sky above Dark Moon Valley. The moonlight shone down and nourished the ground.
In the center of the territory, a huge ancient tree rose from the ground. Its branches were lush and it was extremely tall.
Around the ancient tree was a clear spring. The water flowed into the depths of the valley.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
Tria’s eyes lit up. “Prince Charming, is this where I’ll work in the future?”
“That’s right, it’s here.”
Lin Bei smiled and nodded. “In the future, this place will be my territory. You can open a branch of the Bloodshed Tavern here.”
“But I have to apply! I don’t know when I’ll pass the review.”
Tria said worriedly.
“It’s fine. I’m a four-star member now. As long as I promote you to a three-star member, you’ll have the right to establish an independent branch!”
“Huh?”
“You don’t believe me? I’ll promote you to a three-star member now.”
Lin Bei smiled and used the four-star membership medal to spend five million points to promote her to a three-star member.
“Alright, this way, you can directly establish the Bloodshed Tavern.”
Lin Bei smiled and said, “You’re more familiar with the tavern. I’ll leave everything to you. Our goal is to make our branch hall as big as possible and attract more people to our Dark Moon Valley! Of course, I’ll give you the authority to arrange some missions in the territory. When the time comes, we’ll distribute them to the tavern to attract some popularity.”
“This is 10 million points. Take it and run the tavern first. Tell me when it’s not enough.”
As Lin Bei spoke, he transferred another 10 million points to Tria.
“Ah? Isn’t this too much?”
“Not much! If we want to expand our territory, these points are only the initial investment!”
Lin Bei said solemnly, “Remember, our target is to become the biggest branch of the Heavenly Might World! Do you understand?”
“…The biggest branch?”
“That’s right. It’s mainly because we don’t have enough top-notch strength. If we have a few more Extraordinary members, we can consider removing the word ‘branch’.”
Lin Bei shrugged and said with a smile, “Alright, don’t feel too pressured. Just do it step by step. If you encounter any trouble, you can contact me directly. I’ll resolve it.”
“…Okay.”
“That’s about all there is to it. I’ve troubled you recently!”
“It’s no trouble! I’m very happy to be able to help you!”
Tria shook her head vigorously.
“Alright, let’s talk about your wages. The base salary is 300,000 points a month. The commission is calculated separately. Do you have any objections?”
“No!”
“Alright, let’s sign a Spirit Contract.”
“Alright!”
Soon, the two of them signed the Spirit Contract. Lin Bei gave a few more instructions, and Tria went to prepare for the construction of the Bloodshed Tavern.
“Next, it’s time to build a teleportation array.”
Lin Bei came to the side of the ancient tree and chose a location to build a teleportation array.
“Alright, Qingqing, Unparalleled, you can bring the guild members over!”
Lin Bei set the teleportation fee for the guild members to 0. Soon, a large number of players were teleported to Dark Moon Valley.
“Wow! Is this our territory? It’s so beautiful!”
“That’s right! Haha, we’re the first guild in the entire Heavenly Might Server to have our own territory!”
“Those from the top ten guilds are not even worthy of carrying our shoes!”
“The president is too awesome!”
“By the way, we have a territory. Why isn’t there a System Notification?”
“You’re so stupid! The territory’s infrastructure hasn’t been built yet! Of course, there won’t be an announcement! Now, we’ve only established the core and teleportation array. There are still warehouses, shops, and so on to be built. When the facilities are complete, the system will announce it!”
“Wow, Big Brother, you know so much!”
“Of course. I was once a member of the top ten guilds in the second server! I know this very well!”
As the group of people were arguing, Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume had already arrived beside Lin Bei. At this moment, the two of them were excited.
“The land here seems to have a growth bonus! It’s very suitable for the growth of medicinal fields!”
“Moreover, there are all kinds of leveling maps around here. It’s very convenient for the development of the guild!”
“Also, this Dark Moon Valley is a Level 2 territory. It covers an area of 100,000 square kilometers! If it can be upgraded to Level 3, it will expand to 1 million square kilometers! Haha, it’s equivalent to one-tenth of the size of the Dragon Country!”
The two girls spoke one after another excitedly.
“Alright, next, I’ll give you the construction authority. Go and perfect the remaining infrastructure.”
“Alright! I love infrastructure!”
Unparalleled Plume rubbed her palms together in excitement.
“By the way, remember not to recruit NPC soldiers yet.”
Lin Bei suddenly reminded.
“Ah? Why not? If those covetous guilds attack and there are no NPC soldiers, won’t we be in trouble?”
Unparalleled Plume asked in confusion.
“I want them to attack!”
Lin Bei smiled and said, “This matter has been delayed for a few days. Now, it’s time to settle scores with them. During this period of time, those guilds have been quiet. According to their characters, they’re most likely preparing some big move in the dark. They’re probably waiting for us to establish our guild so that they can directly steal our fruits!”
“Are they that devious?”
Unparalleled Plume frowned and said, “Besides, even if we don’t have NPC soldiers, we still have Undead Soldiers. Moreover, that headless Boss is a King-tier Mutated Boss. What can they use to fight us?”
“Unparalleled, don’t underestimate the strength of the Ten Major Guilds.”
Lin Bei frowned and said directly, “There’s a reason why they can become the Ten Major Guilds. Even if their strength is inferior to ours now, their methods can’t be underestimated. They’ve been swallowing their anger for the past few days. They must be secretly planning something! If you don’t believe me, watch carefully. They might already be waiting for the spies planted in our Azure Plume Guild to send them information. When the time comes, they’ll attack us!”
“Then what should we do? Why don’t we ambush them in advance and teach them a lesson?”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Just let them come! I have a way to catch them all in one fell swoop!”
Lin Bei smiled confidently and said, “Your job is to perfect the guild’s infrastructure as soon as possible. Leave the rest to me. By the way, remember to find a good angle to start a live broadcast. We have to make a name for ourselves in this battle! I want to use this opportunity to capture our enemy guilds in one fell swoop and make them completely disappear from the Heavenly Might Server!”
“Dear lord, can you really do it?”
Unparalleled Plume was a little suspicious.
She believed that they could defeat the other party, but making the other party disappear from the Heavenly Might Server?
What a joke!
At most, they would go offline and hide. Could he waste time with them?
“Don’t you believe me? Why don’t we have another bet?”
Lin Bei raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.
“Bet my ass! I’ve quit gambling long ago! If I gamble again in this life, I’ll be stupid!”
Unparalleled Plume suddenly exploded and left while cursing.
“Don’t mind her. She’s always been like this.”
Green Collar smiled bitterly.
“It’s okay. I’m used to it.”
Lin Bei smiled and said, “Well, if she doesn’t want to bet with me, why don’t you bet with me?”
Green Collar’s expression froze. Then, she forced a smile and turned to leave.
Lin Bei shrugged helplessly.
Sigh, these two women were no longer tricked.
They had learned to be smart.
“Looking at the time, there should be some time before the guild is established. I’ll go offline first and use a Divinity Fragment.”
Although it could only synchronize 5% of his attributes, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.
Moreover, with Lin Bei’s current attributes, 5% was not a small amount.
Lin Bei went offline.
***
At the same time, on the forum, news about Azure Plume starting to build his territory spread.
The branch guild leaders of the Five Major Guilds at the Heavenly Might Server had already gathered together. Their eyes were filled with eagerness.
“How are your preparations?”
“Don’t worry, everything is ready. We only need the signal!”
“We’re also ready! That lord is already prepared to attack at any time! In addition, there will be five King-tier experts attacking together! This time, we’ll definitely defeat Azure Plume!”
“Haha, that’s great! Then, about the allocation of the spoils of war…”
“Everything counts!”
“Great!”
Everyone drank and chatted merrily. The table was filled with smiles.
***
In Green Mountain City, the teleportation array flickered, and a group of five people appeared.
The person in the lead was a thick-browed man in blood-red armor. Beside him were his five servants, two Knights, a Swordsman, a Mage, and a Priest. They were all outstanding Kings.
“Lord Porter, this is Green Mountain City!”
Beside him, the female Mage said.
“Yes, I heard from Teacher that a genius has appeared here. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to see him this time!”
Porter nodded, and a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes. A genius that his teacher could not stop praising absolutely had to be sparred with!
“It’s a pity that I can’t contact Teacher now. I can only wait until I’m done here before going to the tavern to ask others.”
Porter thought to himself, Not bad this time. This private order was relatively easy.
The mission content was very simple. Dealing with a group of Level 40 Undead Soldiers and dealing with a Level 40 to 50 King-tier Headless Horseman was not challenging at all for him!
Originally, he would have rejected it without hesitation.
However… the other party had really given him too much!
“After this, I can gather enough money to buy a Divinity Dust! Hehe, I’ve made a killing!”
Porter was extremely excited and rubbed his palms together. He could not wait to make a move and complete the mission to go back and exchange for the Divinity Powder!
They were just a few small fries. It was easy to deal with them!
This money was so easy to earn!
The corners of Porter’s mouth curled up, and he felt extremely satisfied.
“Sir, we have received a letter from the client. We can move out now!”
“Alright! Let’s set off together! Go to the mission point! Remember, defeat the opponents as quickly as possible!”
“Understood!”
The servants received the order and followed behind Porter, running away!
***
On the other side, Lin Bei, who had synchronized 5% of his attributes, went online again.
Looking at the guild territory that was almost complete, he smiled.
Qiqi had already sent back news that people had arrived from Green Mountain City. There were a total of six people, one Emperor-tier and five King-tier. Among them, the Emperor-tier was the “Lord” that the Azure Plume Guild’s spies in the other guilds had mentioned.
“The show… is about to begin!”
The corners of Lin Bei’s mouth curled up as he muttered.
