30: Chapter 30 Guilds Fiercely Compete for Entry Spots

The news that Lingxiao Pavilion had obtained priority access to Luofeng Village spread across the entire server in just half a day.

The world channel was flooded with messages.

"Lingxiao Pavilion entered the village?"

"And they got a 3% EXP buff?"

"Damn! Isn't that latching onto a big shot?"

"If we go any later, we won't even get a sip of soup!"

That evening, the teleportation array at Luofeng Village didn't stop for a moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Beams of white light flashed frantically.

Those who came weren't solo players.

They were all from major guilds.

The top ten guilds almost took turns sending representatives to visit.

Some carried boxes of materials for blue-grade equipment.

Some carried bags of gold coins directly on their backs.

Some even prepared small trinkets for children, terrified that their gifts wouldn't hit the mark.

Outside the dirt slope at the village entrance, there were more people queuing than there were people grinding monsters.

"War Soul Alliance is here!"

"Hundred Flowers Palace has arrived too!"

"Holy crap, even the people from Northern Border Divine Blade are here!"

The surrounding players were dumbfounded.

Previously, which of these top-tier guilds wasn't high and mighty?

Now, look at them.

Every single one of them was obediently queuing outside Luofeng Village.

The leader was none other than the guild president of [War Soul Alliance], Zhan Kuangshan.

Clad in heavy armor with four core members following behind him carrying half a backpack of forging materials for blue-grade equipment and two large bags of gold coins, he lowered his posture significantly when he walked up to Lin Zhe.

"Mr. Lin."

"Little Archon Lin."

"War Soul Alliance is willing to hand over 50% of our rare materials every month, plus a fixed amount of gold coins, just for an access qualification."

Once this condition was stated, the surrounding crowd gasped.

"50%?"

"War Soul Alliance is truly desperate!"

"This isn't cooperation anymore; this is paying tribute!"

Xing Jianwan held Lin Chen, standing to the side without speaking.

Lin Chen, however, blinked, his little face very serious.

"If you want to enter Luofeng Village, you must pass an assessment first."

"First, you are not allowed to block quest locations."

"Second, you are not allowed to steal monsters from solo players."

"Third, you are not allowed to collect passage fees."

"Fourth, those who have bullied solo players, get lost immediately."

These few words, spoken in a milky voice, warmed the hearts of the nearby solo players.

"Well said!"

"That's exactly how you should keep the guilds in check!"

Zhan Kuangshan didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction; instead, he nodded immediately.

"War Soul Alliance accepts."

"From now on, whoever dares to break the rules in Luofeng Village, I will personally kick them out."

Lin Chen pointed his little hand.

Hum!

A beam of golden light descended.

[War Soul Alliance has obtained Luofeng Village guild access qualification]

[Monthly resource submission contract has been bound]

Zhan Kuangshan had just breathed a sigh of relief when another fragrant breeze blew from behind.

The palace master of [Hundred Flowers Palace] had arrived in person.

She didn't bring large boxes of gold coins; instead, she brought a pile of exquisite little items.

Jade bells, small gold locks, small cloaks, and small soft boots.

They were all accessories suitable for children.

As soon as she saw Lin Chen, the smile on her face softened a bit.

"Little Archon Lin, this is a gift for our first meeting."

"Hundred Flowers Palace isn't competing for anything else; we just want to get priority qualification for our sisters in the palace to do quests."

The surrounding female players' eyes lit up.

"That's a beautifully delivered gift!"

"Hundred Flowers Palace knows how to handle things!"

Lin Chen looked down at the small, tinkling jade bell, clearly quite satisfied. With a wave of his little hand, another golden beam of access light descended.

Over the next two days, Luofeng Village almost never had a moment of peace.

Guild after guild came to visit.

Some brought materials.

Some brought money.

Some brought blue-grade equipment.

Others even brought entire carts of potions.

Lin Chen set up a guild access leaderboard at the village entrance.

Want to cooperate?

Check your reputation first.

Those with dark histories were immediately crossed out.

[Mad Blade Guild] once blocked the dungeon entrance for solo players.

Rejected.

[Red Fire Group] stole equipment from newcomers and killed low-level life-skill players.

Rejected.

[Black Feather Alliance] collected protection fees in other newbie villages; their reputation was pitch-black.

No matter how many gifts they sent, there was only one word.

"Get lost."

Several guild representatives stood at the village entrance, their faces turning blue and white, not even daring to talk back.

The surrounding solo players clapped and cheered on the spot.

"Refreshing!"

"Don't even think about getting in if you have a dark history!"

"Little Archon Lin did a great job!"

Three days passed.

A total of seven top-tier guilds officially signed cooperation agreements with Luofeng Village.

Besides Lingxiao Pavilion, guilds like War Soul Alliance and Hundred Flowers Palace all obtained access qualifications.

The conditions were all the same.

Submit materials and gold coins monthly.

Abide by the rules of Luofeng Village.

Do not bully solo players.

Violators will be kicked out immediately.

When the last contract was signed, the village entrance was already piled high with resources.

Boxes of blue-grade materials were stacked one after another.

Bags of gold coins were lined up in rows.

Potions, equipment, and rare ores filled even the temporary wooden sheds.

The players responsible for transporting the items were running around, drenched in sweat.

"We can't fit any more!"

"There are two more carts of materials behind!"

"This side is full too!"

The surrounding players were scalp-tinglingly stunned.

"Seven top-tier guilds paying tribute at once, who can handle this?"

"I finally understand now."

"It's not the players choosing Luofeng Village anymore."

"It's Luofeng Village choosing players, choosing guilds!"

Watching the resources pile higher and higher, Xing Jianwan couldn't help but look at Lin Zhe.

"If they keep sending more, the village entrance will be completely blocked."

Lin Zhe stood on the dirt slope, sweeping a glance over the vast expanse of resources, his expression remaining calm.

Lin Chen, lying in Xing Jianwan's arms, shook the small jade bell in his hand and added in a milky voice.

"Dad, there are too many things."

"We need to find a place to put them."
