Chapter 129 Value Creation

Nie Yan arrived at the guild headquarters to find Guo Huai and the others still busy with guild affairs. Since they had begun managing the guild, they hadn't had time to level up. Moreover, they seemed to be transitioning in that direction, as the guild definitely needed several dedicated management talents. Entrusting management to others was out of the question.

In addition to them, Guo Huai had also recruited several people from his family's company, specifically responsible for auditing each guild member, sorting out the interpersonal relationships of guild members, and purging a large number of spies planted by Kaiser and other guilds.

Nie Yan examined the profiles of those who had signed agreements with the guild. There were over a hundred in total, all with exceptional talent. Among them, a total of eleven had achieved titles at the level of Shadow Dancer, Grand Magister, and Holy Priest, a veritable treasure trove of talent, including Sun, Big Brother Seven, Taotie, Immortal Scoundrel, Bi Lusha, Xia Chongyubing, and others.

In total, there was one Holy Priest, two Shadow Dancers, two Guardian Knights, two Holy Swordsmen, two Grand Magisters, one Holy Mage, and one Holy Warrior, all of whom were already displaying great talent. Each of these individuals received generous treatment from Niu Ren Tribe. Nie Yan had invested over a hundred gold coins in each of them. They used the best resources of the guild. Starry Night Pharmacy provided them with a large number of potions every day. They could form teams at any time and easily find teammates with excellent skills, resulting in rapid leveling.

Entering the game early, possessing more resources, working hard, and having exceptional talent were all conditions that contributed to their obtaining ultimate class titles in his past life. Nie Yan had strengthened all of these conditions.

Therefore, elites remained elites.

When Nie Yan arrived, Taotie, Immortal Scoundrel, Bi Lusha, Xia Chongyubing, and the others were chatting, preparing to team up to level. When they saw Nie Yan enter, they greeted him.

"Hello, Boss Nie Yan." Taotie, around twenty years old, was clad in shining silver knight armor, a full set of golden equipment. He had managed to acquire several pieces of gold equipment himself, and Niu Ren Tribe had also provided him with several pieces. At this stage, he was not much different from those at Fallen Leaf Studio.

"Hello, Boss," Immortal Scoundrel greeted Nie Yan. As an elemental mage, the Elemental Resonance series of sets he wore was already the best equipment a level 20 player could wear.

These were all top forces of Carol City in the future, and they were gathered here now.

Nie Yan smiled and nodded, standing there to chat with them for a while, which made them feel flattered. From the moment they joined the guild, they had felt the amazing financial strength of Niu Ren Tribe, no less than the super guilds like Kaiser. The identities of Nie Yan and Tang Yao were shrouded in layers of fog, making it impossible to see clearly. Nie Yan was like a divine dragon, rarely seen, while Tang Yao had never even shown his face. Therefore, these people held Nie Yan and Tang Yao in awe, and were very surprised that Nie Yan was so approachable.

"You are now elite members of Niu Ren Tribe. The guild has provided you with the best conditions. I hope you can create value for Niu Ren Tribe in the future. If you achieve something, Niu Ren Tribe will definitely not mistreat you," Nie Yan said. He had invested so much capital that if even one or two of them achieved the same extraordinary achievements as in his previous life, he would be guaranteed to make a profit.

"Don't worry, Boss Nie Yan," everyone responded one after another.

"Take this Purgatory Fire and find a suitable person to learn it," Nie Yan said, trading the Purgatory Fire to Guo Huai.

The appearance of this Purgatory Fire skill book immediately attracted everyone's attention.

It was an advanced magic!

Among the many large guilds, advanced magic was also an extremely scarce and sought-after commodity. The rarity of advanced magic need not be said. Exchanging five or six sets of gold equipment for an advanced magic book from a large guild was unlikely to succeed. It was said that Kaiser had used more than seven hundred people to deal with a Lord-class Boss and lost more than three hundred to get an advanced magic book.

No one in Niu Ren Tribe had learned advanced magic, which had to be said to be a regrettable thing.

The appearance of Purgatory Fire proved that Niu Ren Tribe also had the strength to collect advanced magic.

"Several elemental mages and arcane mages have performed well. I'll think about it," Guo Huai said with a bit of distress. Finding a reliable person to learn Purgatory Fire was very important. If Purgatory Fire fell into the hands of someone with poor skills, it would be a waste.

Nie Yan was very confident in these people who had signed agreements with the guild. Each of them would learn advanced magic in the future, it was just a matter of time.

"You handle this," Nie Yan said, throwing all sixteen pieces of equipment that had dropped from the Monastery of Light and six extra pieces of the Edge of Division into the guild warehouse. "How is the Superior Magic Nanmu and Superior Fire Mother Crystal I asked you to find coming along?"

"We found them. Someone from another guild is selling them, but the price seems a bit expensive. We're still negotiating. If you think it's appropriate, we can buy them immediately," Guo Huai said. He didn't know what Nie Yan was going to use these things for.

"How much money?" Nie Yan asked. Both Superior Fire Mother Crystals and Superior Magic Nanmu were high-level items, rarely seen at this time, and most guilds were not willing to sell them.

"Three Fire Mother Crystals and ten Superior Magic Nanmu. They're asking 30 gold coins," Guo Huai said. In his opinion, this was a huge sum of money.

"Buy them. Have someone put them in my personal warehouse. You can get the money from Starry Night Pharmacy," Nie Yan said. In his previous life, he would never have dared to imagine anything worth 30 gold coins before level 60. But in this life, the situation was completely different, and he was experiencing the feeling of being rich and powerful.

Only thirty gold coins!

If he could make a Sub-Legendary riding crossbow, it would be worth at least two hundred gold!

In his previous life, especially after the fortress wars began, the major guilds obtained a large amount of tax revenue from the fortresses. With spare money in hand, it was not uncommon for an ordinary Sub-Legendary item to sell for five or six hundred gold.

Sub-Legendary items were equivalent to god-tier equipment in the eyes of all players!

Although he couldn't equip Doro, the Headless Horseman's Riding Crossbow, for the time being, he was satisfied just looking at it in his backpack occasionally.

"Okay, I'll have him buy it immediately," Guo Huai nodded. Nie Yan must have a great use for those materials if he was willing to spend thirty gold coins, so he didn't hesitate.

Making a Sub-Legendary riding crossbow was not guaranteed to succeed. It was possible to fail. He would try with one set of materials first. As for who to make the riding crossbow, Nie Yan thought of the Advanced Blacksmith Kardi. He should be able to make it, but it might require an expensive fee.

When looking for an NPC to make a weapon, as long as you prepare the materials, attach the blueprints, and pay a certain amount of gold coins, he can help you complete it. If it fails, you are responsible for it yourself. If it succeeds, he will return the finished weapon and blueprints to you.

As long as the blueprint was still there, what harm was there in trying once? He had two sets of materials anyway.

Nie Yan finished explaining things and left the guild headquarters. In addition to the Sub-Legendary riding crossbow, he also needed to synthesize the Edge of Division.

In his previous life, the Edge of Division had sold for as much as thirty gold coins at its highest price. When Nie Yan entered the game, many players were already level 60 or 70, and there were already quite a few Edge of Division on the market, so it only sold for ten gold. If you went to dungeons in a group, the price of Edge of Division shards would be lower, costing about three gold to collect a full Edge of Division.

Now that the game had just started, even if you had a hundred gold to buy the Edge of Division, you couldn't buy it. The level 30 dungeons hadn't even opened yet, and very few teams dared to explore the level 30 maps. Where would players go to buy the Edge of Division?

Nie Yan's equipment was still scattered. It would take a lot of effort to put together a powerful set of equipment. It was difficult to create a set of god-tier equipment. The big shots of the various guilds had spent a lot of effort in his previous life. Nie Yan's current achievements were already very good. According to the development of the game in his previous life, you couldn't even think about seeing the shadow of Sub-Legendary equipment at level 20 or 30. At most, you could get some fragments, but it was hard to say how many of the thousands of fragments could be pieced together into a Sub-Legendary piece of equipment. It wasn't until level 100 that those guild leaders put on the so-called Sub-Legendary god-tier equipment. And Nie Yan, at least, had a clear goal. The first was the Legendary Chapter of Order Volume I, the second was the Sub-Legendary Doro, the Headless Horseman's Riding Crossbow, and the third was the Legendary Shadow of Soergoth.

"Boss Nie Yan put more than a dozen level 30 equipment in the warehouse again, mostly for holy knights."

"Where do you think Boss Nie Yan and Boss Yaozi level up?"

Bi Lusha, Xia Chongyubing, and others discussed.

"Who knows, but it's certain that my level 30 gold set is settled. I want that Divine Judgment set. Don't anyone compete with me," Taotie said with great interest, looking at the gold equipment. Each piece of gold equipment required nearly three thousand contribution points, but this was not difficult for elite players like Taotie. They could exchange a level 20 gold equipment for a thousand guild contribution points, and a silver equipment for two hundred contribution points. They just needed to donate a little more.

"There's a Purgatory Fire here," Guo Huai said to everyone, sharing the attributes of Purgatory Fire with everyone.

"Give it to me, Boss Looking Up to the Snail. I'll give 20,000 guild contribution points," Immortal Scoundrel said excitedly from the side.

Immortal Scoundrel had been performing well recently, and his skills were among the best in the guild, making him a suitable candidate. Guo Huai looked at Xia Chongyubing, who was an arcane mage, the only one qualified to compete with Immortal Scoundrel for Purgatory Fire.

Xia Chongyubing shook his head and said, "Give it to Scoundrel. I have two small-scale area-of-effect spells and don't need advanced magic for now. Besides, I level up with Scoundrel, so it's about the same who learns it."

"Okay, then give it to Scoundrel," Guo Huai nodded.

"Thank you, Boss," Immortal Scoundrel said excitedly, taking the Purgatory Fire skill book from Guo Huai.
