Chapter 701 New agenda!
Gresh Kingdom, Crimson Abyss Guild Residence:
All the core members and the high council members of the guild were currently seated in the guild meeting hall.
"Boss, we once again received a lot of guild applications," Berat informed Alex. "With this, we have close to 300,000 total members. Also…"
"Hmmm?"
"Boss, many guild members are demanding that they want to join the core team. Otherwise, they are saying they will quit the guild. I wouldn't care if it was just the outer members but the inner members are also very vocal, especially after the guild war."
"Oh?" Alex silently smirked. She naturally knew why this was happening. They had received a huge pie after the guild war and now everyone wanted a piece of it, but if they think that it is going to be so easy… they have another thing coming.
"Hmm. They have good timing. I was also going to make an announcement exactly about that." Alex smiled. It was rare to see her smiling like this, but no one was happy about it. Something was going to happen. They knew it.
Alex stood up and still with that smile on her face, she cleared her throat. "Listen up, everyone. From today onwards, there will be two new divisions of the guild."
"One will be led by Master Ning. I will leave the selection of candidates for the division to her. She will make an announcement about it soon."
"As for the second team, it will be led by me. I will also make an announcement about the selection criteria in a few minutes."contemporary romance
"The most important thing you have to know is that these two new divisions will be directly under the high-council members and enjoy a lot more privileges compared to the core division, the inner division, and the outer division of the guild."
"Now this brings me to the next announcement."
"From now onwards, we will no longer remain in the Gresh Kingdom. We are moving to the Empire! Except for the outer members, all the guild members will be given 20 gold coins, the teleportation fees for the Northern Empire, Brihald!"
Immediately, the entire hall became very quiet. This was huge news. Many players have tried it, but no one has managed to reach the four empires just yet. So everyone was curious as to how they were going to accomplish it.
However, Alex surprisingly moved on to the next topic without talking about this.
"Once you are in the Empire, you go directly to your respective class hall and start training under the masters there. Forget about your level. Forget about other things. Just focus on honing your skills and improving yourself."
Everyone nodded, but the big question still remained. "Boss, how are we going to get into the Empire?" Finally, someone asked.
Alex smirked. "S-Rank guild members can enter and exit the Empire freely once they have enough guild reputation points."
Damn! All the members assembled were instantly speechless. This was too unexpected. This meant that everyone who participated in the war could already enter the four big empires as they had all gotten a shit ton of guild contribution points as a reward for their war efforts.
More importantly, this information was not available online! Chances were that no one else knew about it, so they had first dibs on everything in the Empire!
Alex took one look at everyone's faces, and she immediately knew what they were thinking. She didn't blame them, she also thought about the same thing before Liam corrected her.
"Guys, I am sure there will be a lot of new quests, new events, and activities in the empire, but the guild master's, I mean the big boss Liam's, official recommendation is for you to focus on your training in the class hall. First, reach Level 50 and then concentrate on this training."
"But you all know that no one is forced to do anything, so I will leave it to you to decide. Also, don't be naive enough to think that we are going to be the first."
"We have been busy with the war for the past 48 hours. I am sure the other S-Rank guild also figured this out and are probably already in the empires right now, trying to get special quests, etc."
"It is better for us if we don't participate in this mad competition. Focus on your training." Alex repeated again. She said the same thing one to three times to make sure everyone really listened to her.
It was easy to get caught up in the competition, but they have to keep their eyes on the prize, the end game. Liam had said they were only a few weeks away from the game's shutdown, so this made her very nervous. What was going to happen after that?
Alex sighed. She could see that everyone was visibly restless to run to the empire right this instant, so she didn't want to keep them long. "Alright, last announcement. Here we go."
"In the empire, there is also another place called the Underground Arena. Everyone is advised to test their strength and practice combat in this arena."
"As I said before, the members of the new division we are making will be chosen solely based on how well they do in this underground arena,"
"Oh, and feel free to spread around that only S-Rank guild members can enter the Empire. That will be all. Meeting adjourned."
Spread around the news? Shouldn't they keep it a secret?
Some players were confused, but they didn't have time to worry about it at the moment. This was a huge chance.
From the way Alex announced it, it was clear that this new division was going to receive a lot of special privileges and even perhaps rare opportunities, so everyone shuffled out of the guild hall as fast as they could to get to the Empire and test out this new underground arena.
Shortly after the meeting, two more announcements came in regarding the same thing they talked about in the guild hall, and Alex announced these directly on the guild common channel so everyone would be able to see them, even the outer members.
This further lit a fire under everyone. The guild leader was not joking. It looked like everyone had a chance to make it into this new division. Every day, the competition inside the guild was exponentially increasing, so no one had time to slack off.
Droves of players exited the guild residence and began making their way to the city to use the teleportation portal to the Empire. Of course, the spies among the outer members of the guild readily spread this information around.
"Sis, will this really be okay?" Rey was worried. "Should we have kept it a secret?"
Alex immediately revealed a wicked grin. "It's called fishing, idiot."
"We will get even more applications after this news spreads. The more the merrier. Don't we need a lot of players to grind for raw materials in dungeons? We can use the free labor. Our time is far more valuable."
"By the way, you haven't reached Level 50 yet. Hurry it up, or else you will be left behind."
"Fuck!" Rey quickly waved her goodbye and scurried away.
With a smile, Alex also began finishing off the last few things on her checklist. She opened the guild interface and paid the hefty gold coins required to upgrade all the guild facilities.
Everything was upgraded to the highest level, including the alchemy tower, forging tower, training facilities, guild defense, guild offense, and the number of NPCs they could recruit. She even upgraded the massage parlor, though she didn't particularly approve of it.
These new upgrades were the additional rewards for the guild members for pushing their limits in the guild war, and she was very generous with them. After all, the kingdom had awarded them with an excess of gold coins for winning.
She also got a surprise when she raised the level of the guild stables to the highest grade. A new function popped up!
[Beasts breeding facility]
Alex was instantly shocked. It looked like they could breed beasts here and then help them form contracts with players. This was extremely important because if someone obtained a powerful beast, then they could use that to breed more powerful beasts.
She quickly looked over the details of this place, and there were even more surprises in store for her. It looked like they could actually breed combat beasts that were loyal to the guild as a whole and not necessarily individual players.
This meant that they could actually unleash these beasts even as a separate division.
Now Alex badly wanted another guild to challenge them to a guild war. They wouldn't even see what hit them!
He He. With a wide grin, she made the required preparations and upgraded every last bit of the guild residence before setting out to the Northern empire. It was time to begin the next phase of this game!
