132: You're too awesome, you need to be kicked out.
As for how the shopkeeper disciplined his own clerk, Xu Shian naturally didn't know.
After returning to his room, he began to study the items he had obtained from Fishing today.
The 500 gold coins went without saying—simple, blunt, and straight to the point.
And this [Alchemy Recipe: Short-acting Invincibility Potion], it was also a good item.
Looking at the herbs on the recipe, Xu Shian had seen them all in the herb market; although they were of a higher level, they weren't rare.
The only problem now was that Xu Shian's [Alchemy] level wasn't high enough yet, so he couldn't learn this blueprint.
The last one was the [Sealed Letter].
Xu Shian opened the letter and skimmed through it.
Hmm?
[Ding! You have triggered a random quest: An Ancient Cry for Help]. The quest details are as follows:
The eldest young master of the Su Family, the number one family in Qixia City, was kidnapped by bandits from Black Wind Fortress on Dragonfall Mountain while out expanding the family's business territory. He used special means to throw this letter into the Lan River. Please go and save him!
Quest Reward: ...There will surely be a generous reward.
Would you like to accept the quest?
What the hell is this? Su... surely be a generous reward?
Why does it sound so unreliable?
"Accept?"
[Ding! Quest failed!]
[The eldest young master of the Su Family was killed by the kidnappers three years ago!]
Xu Shian's face turned completely dark. Is this a joke?
Does it have to be like this?
[Ding! You have triggered a revenge quest. Please head to the Su Manor in Luoyi Lane on South Street, Qixia City, to pick up the follow-up quest!]
It's just a quest, why make it so mysterious?
But... no matter how high-end myriad realms online was, it was still a game.
In a game, there's no reason not to do quests.
Especially the kind of quest that ordinary players can't trigger.
Xu Shian spent some Time chatting in the group, then took photos of the beautiful scenery around Qixia Town and posted them on the guild Forum.
After a private chat with An Xixi for a while, Xu Shian spent about half an hour writing a post.
He was the leader after all, so he had to be somewhat deliberate in his words and actions... [Time] Guild Development Plan and Requirements:
1. The [Time] guild will use Yun Province as its base to develop guild power. In the early stages, activities will mainly be in the three main cities: Qixia Town, Iron Spine Fortress, and Feiyun Pass. Guild players can choose to settle in any of these three main cities.
2. According to progress, the guild will level up in three days. At that Time, the guild's capacity may be expanded. You can introduce talented friends or relatives who can focus on sub-professions to the guild;
Of course, [Time] is not a retirement home. Corresponding management measures will be introduced later. Players who cannot complete their respective post tasks or do not meet the guild's requirements will be kicked out.
3. The guild supports small groups, but not large groups; those belonging to other organizations, please leave your teams voluntarily after leaving the Novice Village!
4. After entering the main cities, all kinds of group activities organized by the guild, Dungeon activities, war mobilizations, etc., require active participation from combat units. Players who are absent without cause will be kicked out... That's all for now, more will be added as appropriate... This plan and requirements are just the initial version.
The goal was to give players who were still scattered across various Novice Villages a clear idea of what to expect.
Upon entering the main city phase, the [Time] guild would definitely need to strengthen management; it was impossible to let everyone remain so loose.
To summarize:
Guild tasks must be done, and guild orders must be followed.
If the Guild Leader is bullied, you all swarm up and hit him together... If the Guild Leader wants to bully someone else, you all go up and hit them together too!
Only in this way can you stay in [Time] steadily and for a long Time.
He sent the post and then manually pinned it to the top.
In the game Forum, Xu Shian naturally didn't have this authority, but in the guild Forum, it was Xu Shian's domain.
Checking the backend, checking anonymous posters, pinning posts, deleting posts... he could do whatever he wanted!
Waking up after a night's sleep, he habitually checked the otherworld mall module first.
Unexpectedly, he saw several good items today.
[Low-grade Pill: Spirit-Nurturing Pill] Increases Spirit by five points, limited to 100 per person.
Price: 1,800 days of extra lifespan. (Bound upon purchase)
If this were before the system adjustment, this price would have been considered okay; but now, this pill was clearly not cost-effective.
But if there was nothing special today, then applying the discount to this would make it worth buying.
Unfortunately, in today's Guild Leader special offer, there was an Engineering blueprint.
[Schematic: Mekgineer's Chopper (210)] An Engineering motorcycle that can carry passengers, Silver Tier.
Price: 50,000 gold coins (Bound upon purchase)
This thing... aside from the Engineering requirement being a bit high, it had almost no other flaws.
The price of 50,000 gold coins was indeed high, but the point was that this type of Engineering product could be sold as a commodity.
For Xu Shian, selling a vehicle for forty or fifty thousand gold coins would be considered a fire sale, wouldn't it?
Of course, in the current state, players simply didn't have that much money.
Unlike essential items like potions, this was purely for showing off... it would definitely have to be released to the market in the later stages. He'd rather keep it in his hands than sell it cheap.
After all, the [Yellow-maned Horse] he saw in Qixia Town, which increased movement speed by 60%, cost a thousand gold coins just for that!
It had nothing else, just the base state... for mounts, attributes aren't important, appearance isn't important—only scarcity is most important.
As long as others don't have it and you do, then sorry, even if you're riding a giant rat, you're the coolest kid on the block!
The last one was something everyone could buy.
[Class Change Scroll: Templar Knight] An advanced Hidden Class for the Paladin profession, with comprehensive improvements in offense and defense.
Price: 500 years of extra lifespan (Bound upon purchase)
Five hundred years?
Wukong was only imprisoned for five hundred years... this was much more expensive than the previous [Hunting Master] class.
That one's description was an advanced version class, while this one was a Hidden Class... he had seen too few samples to tell which was better or worse right now.
He could only judge based on the price... Xu Shian didn't buy the other rare materials and such.
If there was no discount, Xu Shian resolutely wouldn't buy any of them.
Save where you should, spend where you must!
If that Class Change Scroll were a Hidden Class for a Summoner, then Xu Shian would need to hesitate for two seconds, since it would be a choice between the two!
After hesitating, he would then tell the [Mekgineer's Chopper] that they weren't meant to be.
But a Paladin-type Hidden Class... ancient jade of reincarnation, give me a discount!
[Ding! You have purchased Schematic: Mekgineer's Chopper; spent 5,000 gold coins!]
Well, in the future task of building up a huge family fortune, you'll need to contribute your share!
This thing required Engineering level 210 to learn, so for now it could only be put in the Emerald Dream to gather dust.
After buying the items, Xu Shian finally paid attention to the guild chat channel.
After Xu Shian's post fermented last night, it indeed sparked widespread discussion.
Scanning through it, there was the silent majority, a small group of complainers, and some others following behind to fan the flames... he directly kicked several of those who were particularly loud out of the guild.
There's no room for such 'awesome' people in [Time]!
