The Tycoon God of Online Gaming-Chapter 48 - Seize the Initiative

The game’s daytime was approaching. Chu You approached the Teleportation Array and opened it. Seeing the empty lines inside, Chu You remained calm.

In the game, the Teleportation Array is similar to the one in Diablo. Apart from the major cities which belong to the Yan country and can be directly connected by spending Gold Coins and strategic resources, other small town teleportation points and hidden Teleportation Arrays in the wild must be discovered by guild players. Once found, they have to inform the guild’s management to connect the Teleportation Points, saving a lot of time strategically.

There is also a special type of Teleportation Array, a temporary one made by the players themselves. This is a unique lifestyle skill of the guild. After making it, for example, to fight a boss, a large number of guild members can arrive instantly.

However, making a Teleportation Array requires immense energy and resources. Without the resources and determination, it would be difficult to follow this path. The temporary Teleportation Array also has levels. The higher the level, the higher the maximum number of players that can be teleported across, and more guild players can appear.

Those who can make high-level temporary Teleportation Arrays are referred to as strategic talents in “Celestial World”. They are themselves a strategic resource.

Such talents are hidden by every major guild and will never be revealed to the public.

Chu You looked at the opened Teleportation Array, many grey dotted lines on it, all connecting from the major cities of Yan Country to his guild’s location.

The grey lines cannot be used. You have to light them up yourself to allow guild members to teleport.

Chu You first lit up Wangshan City.

System: According to the judgment, it costs 10,000 Gold Coins and strategic resources Mercury ×115, Gemstones ×40 to open the teleportation channel between your location and Wangshan City. Would you like to open the teleportation channel?

“Open it.” After paying the resources, a permanent teleportation path was opened between the guild and Wangshan City. The grey dotted line became brighter and solid, indicating that this teleportation path was now available.

If it takes 10,000 Gold Coins to open the path to the nearest Wangshan City, you can imagine how much resources are needed to open teleportation paths to other, even more distant, cities…

Obviously, Chu You was not satisfied. He continued to open the paths, lighting up all major cities in Yan Country on the guild’s teleportation array. The grey dotted lines all lit up.

As for the Teleportation Arrays of those small towns and even hidden ones in certain areas, it was up to the guild members to discover them…

It was clear from this that those players who lacked strength were just a joke, trying to create a guild, develop power, and strive for supremacy simply with their enthusiasm…

It was finally time to go out. Chu You took one last look at his guild, then used the Teleportation Array to teleport directly to Wangshan City. By this time, his red name had disappeared. Chu You made a grand appearance in the city, and in no time was in a government office.

…

The atmosphere was cold, really cold. Apart from Zhao Feiyan, the rest of the female players looked unnatural.

Night Ghost… he really rejected them, something they could never have imagined. Who are we? We’re a group of girls!

Why are you rejecting us? Can someone tell us what is going on?

Doesn’t creating a guild require a large number of players to join in order to develop the power and vie for supremacy?

The more female players in a guild, the easier it is to attract male players who have not joined a guild. It’s one of the charms of a guild. Chu You’s approach leaves them puzzled.

Their hearts scream out, we are not just flower vases, we are professional high-level players!

Can you at least look at our skills before making a decision?

However, obviously, there’s no such opportunity…

“I feel a sense of unspeakable sadness.” One of the female players said sadly, her efficiency in defeating monsters also noticeably dropped.

“Humph, that man would change his mind if he saw us in reality.” Another female player reassured herself. She was still very confident about her appearance.

Although they joined Chu You’s guild with specific motives, not genuinely, but quite evidently, Chu You’s rejection ruthlessly tore apart their prideful mentality, making them feel the impact. To be honest, they had never encountered rejection from joining a guild before.

They knew that in the past, as long as they showed a slight intention to join, those guild bosses would eagerly beg for their membership. Female players in the game were always in high demand.

“Glittering Night, why did your friend reject them? Can you tell us the reason?” Zhao Feiyan still maintained her smile.

“There’s no reason, he rejected them straight away, I don’t understand him either.” Lin Luor was also perplexed, unable to figure out Chu You’s intentions.

“Oh? In reality, are you all in the same guild?” To Zhao Feiyan, Chu You’s group was likely to either be an actual guild in the real world or be a high-end studio.

“Um, no…”

“Ah? Then can you see how many people are in your guild now?”

“Oh, let me check.” Lin Luor opened the guild interface, which displayed the number of guild members. Lin Luor noticed that currently, the ‘Immortal’ guild had 3/1500 members. This meant that the world’s number one guild only had three members, including Chu You…

“Only three people…” Lin Luor was stunned and muttered to herself.

Zhao Feiyan’s beautiful eyes flickered, her intuition telling her that something was amiss.

“Glittering Night, may I ask a very personal question? Are you and Night Ghost in a romantic relationship?” This time, Zhao Feiyan privately messaged Lin Luor. Such a personal question, of course, had to be asked privately.

“No…”

“Then what’s your relationship? I’m just curious why he specifically added only you and one other person?”

Lin Luor was already on guard internally. When she noticed that Chu You had included only herself and the Killing Commander, she felt something was off.

“Just friends, as for why he did this, I’m not sure.”

“Just friends? Let me tell you, he’s seen as a ‘god’ in the eyes of many. His influence is astonishingly vast. And you, to be honest, I don’t see any merits that would justify him admitting you into the guild… Just because you’re friends? I trust my instincts more.”

“What instincts?” Lin Luor was somewhat surprised.

“I think he might be in love with you.” said Zhao Feiyan, certainty written all over her face.

Lin Luor’s heart skipped a beat at these words. Would the young master actually be interested in her?

Seeing the stunned look in Lin Luor’s eyes, Zhao Feiyan continued privately, “So, am I right? At least you feel it deep down, right?”

“No, you’re wrong.” Lin Luor knew her own situation very well, but… there was a weird idea gnawing at her heart.

Why did Chu You insist on playing this ten-year game with her specifically? They even signed an unimaginable contract… Could this be real?

Suddenly, Lin Luor’s face turned slightly red, and her heartbeat quickened.

“Heal us quickly!” the female warrior up front yelled out.

“Oh, alright.” Lin Luor immediately came back to reality and started healing.

Seeing Lin Luor’s expression, Zhao Feiyan felt increasingly sure of her suspicions. However, she was still confused about the man’s guild management tactics.

Once the monster was defeated, one of the females announced, “No more fighting, it’s boring. We have enough honey, let’s look for that NPC.”

“Yes, let’s exchange these honeys with the NPC and then log off to have breakfast.”

“No need to search, I know where it is… he…told me.” The task NPC would undoubtedly be found. It was clever of Lin Luor to offer this information at this time.

“Ah? Fantastic, let’s go!”

Everyone immediately set off for the coordinates Lin Luor provided, leaving the beehive in their wake.

Zhao Feiyan, however, looked grave.

Because she realized an issue, if Night Ghost knew of the task NPC’s location, that meant he had also leveled up here before. And what was alarming was, where were they? They were in a beehive!

They had died multiple times, defeated multiple times, and only after slowly figuring things out did they make progress.

But what about Night Ghost? He was all alone!

…

“Demolition, ah, how can I build houses without demolition? Without demolition, where would your income come from?” Chu You said to the Yan Country Officials NPC, full of determination. His aim was to build functional buildings on the prime land sections. As a reborn, he needed to have the strategic vision of one.

“Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right. I’ll go and sort it out.” Currently, Wangshan City only had Chu You as a player, there was no so-called “prime land”. However, the position Chu You chose was the best, right next to the city’s crossroad section where several residential units were located.

At present, that section was extremely desolate, but Chu You believed that it wouldn’t be long before it would be a bustling route with people coming and going. Not building a few functional buildings there would be a waste.

System: The location you are buying costs 50,000 Gold Coins.

Chu You paid the Gold Coins immediately. He was well aware that if other business-minded players smelled an opportunity and seized this position before him, the cost to buy it back would be at least ten times fold.

Soon after, Chu You built his guild building, a level five Craftsman’s House, on the vacated plot.

When players practiced their life skills in Chu You’s Craftsman’s House, not only did their proficiency experience greatly increase, but their success rate also rose significantly.

Next, Chu You set a charging model, 20 Gold Coins per hour. A level five Craftsman’s House could accommodate a hundred players.

On another empty plot, Chu You built a Guild Trading Center. He then put all the Viscount Level items he bought from the Treasure Pavilion on sale for a much lower price. Chu You did this to attract customers, demonstrating his intention to compete with the Yan Kingdom’s Official Exchange.

If players wanted to sell their items in the trading center, they had to pay a handling fee. The Yan nation’s official rules were to charge 1% of the listed price as a fee, so Chu You naturally set his fee at 0.9%. This meant that regardless of the item a player was selling, as long as they listed a price in Chu You’s center, whether sold or not, the Guild Trading Center would immediately collect 0.9% of the listed price as a handling fee.

For example, if a player wanted to sell a weapon for 5,000 Gold Coins and they listed it in the center, the 0.9% handling fee would be collected immediately.

I must mention that this process was entirely fair. The Guild Trading Center was controlled by the system, and the creator could not interfere with the items inside. If the guild disbanded abruptly, or the creator closed the trading center, all the player’s items in the trading center would automatically return to their backpack.

Last but not least, Chu You listed his holy weapon, the ‘Six Path Revolving Divine Mirror’, at an astronomical price in his Guild Trading Center, and the handling fee immediately went into his pocket.

Having done all this, Chu You teleported to the next big city to keep seizing opportunities!
