“Oh? Another one from Linjiang City?” the head of the Analysis Bureau asked in surprise.
The analyst was now in an awkward position. He said, “Not only is she from Linjiang City, she’s also a member of the Thorn Guild! She’s a relative of Rocket on a Wheelchair.”
The entire room fell silent once again.
Even the head of the Analysis Bureau was speechless.
As expected, great strength never came without a reason.
The relatives of powerful people were all powerful themselves.
Had the game already developed prestigious clans and powerful families so quickly?
…
Meanwhile.
The battle to defend Guguan Town had ended. The players from the Thorn Guild and Thorn Town all used Return Scrolls.
Feng Huimin issued an order.
All members of the Thorn Guild were required to hand over their Contribution Tokens.
“A small amount of contribution points can’t be exchanged for anything worthwhile. This time, by participating in a Primordial-level dungeon, we gained an additional 10 points to all attributes.
“There will be many more opportunities in the future!
“However, every low-level player in Thorn Town reached Level 20 today. This means that at midnight tomorrow, at least sixty thousand new players will apply to enter Thorn Town.
“Thorn Town is already operating beyond capacity, so recovering contribution points and purchasing Town Upgrade Blueprints to advance Thorn Town is our top priority.
“All guild members are requested to cooperate fully. Contributions for defending the town will be collected in the form of Guild Contribution Points.”
How could the members of the Thorn Guild refuse to cooperate?
They all began handing over their contributions.
Even players who could exchange them for attribute points chose not to do so. They were afraid that if someone reported them for acting selfishly, they would no longer be able to get along in the Thorn Guild.
As long as they stayed here, wouldn’t they have all the attribute points they needed in the future?
Moreover, after all the guild members submitted their contribution points, the other residents of Thorn Town also heard the news and came rushing over.
“If the Town Lord hadn’t brought me along, I could never have reached Level 20 in a single day and caught up with the second tier. I saved at least twenty days. I’m handing over these contribution points. I don’t need any money for them!”
“That’s right! We have no use for these contribution points anyway. Besides, we even got a Dark Gold-grade piece of equipment, which is worth far more than these lousy contribution points. Let me see who dares to be an ungrateful ingrate. Everyone, hand over your contribution points!”
“Lin Haowan, you’re not planning to keep all the contribution points for yourself, are you? The Town Lord even gave you benefits and let you guard a section of the walls. You can’t have your cake and eat it too!”
Lin Haowan jumped up angrily. “Do I look like that kind of person? I’ll have the guild members deliver all the contribution points to the entrance of the Thorn Guild right now!”
Countless players swarmed toward the entrance of the Thorn Guild and threw their Contribution Token plaques inside.
Feng Huimin watched the scene with satisfaction.
Capitalists had to stir people up in order to maximize their profits.
As the boss’s loyal lackey, she had to ensure that her boss gained the greatest possible benefit. Only then could she demonstrate her own value.
Of course, this was also because the boss possessed great prestige.
Even Chu Fu hadn’t expected Feng Huimin’s maneuver to be so terrifying.
Since they had attacked the Primordial-level dungeon from four different directions this time, Chu Fu hadn’t taken the contribution points from the players guarding the other walls.
There were roughly 1.8 billion contribution points on a single wall.
Now, however, everyone’s contributions combined amounted to a full 3.8 billion.
Not only had they failed to lose any, they had even gained an additional 200 million contribution points. It was highly suspicious that some unaffiliated players had secretly gone to seize the contribution points from the wall guarded by the War Spirit Guild.
Well, actually, she had also expanded the range of her attacks and secretly taken 100 million contribution points from the War Spirit Guild’s side. Otherwise, first place would not have belonged to her.
Just as Chu Fu was thinking about this, a large contribution appeared in the guild records.
[Guild Record: Who Are You Calling Blind submitted 120 million Contribution Tokens.]
[Guild Record: Rocket on a Wheelchair submitted 90 million Contribution Tokens.]
[Guild Record: Suture Saint submitted 70 million Contribution Tokens.]
[Guild Record: Shafu Liangu…]
Chu Fu was stunned.
“Why did you submit your contribution points too? Aren’t you going to use them to improve yourselves?”
Xie Lin said, “Isn’t this only natural? This was a guild event. Since everyone else is submitting their contributions, the senior members should submit theirs as well. Otherwise, wouldn’t that make us guilty of lining our own pockets?”
Shen Chi nodded too. “Actually, if you hadn’t issued the mission, we wouldn’t have been able to participate in the battle to defend Guguan Town. We’ve already absorbed the divine power, so we don’t need to exchange these contribution points this time. It’s better to submit them to the guild. Besides, the contribution points haven’t disappeared. They’ve simply become Guild Contribution Points. Everyone knows how valuable our guild’s contribution points are now.”
Feng Huimin pushed up her glasses and said, “Boss, don’t feel that this harms the team’s interests. This is simply a matter of unclear responsibility and ownership.
“This situation often appears in small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those founded by families or groups of friends.
“We can carry out an equity swap so that Thorn Town and the Thorn Guild become bound together again.”
Under Feng Huimin’s detailed professional analysis and manipulation, Chu Fu gave up 5% of Thorn Town’s shares in exchange for 20% of the Thorn Guild’s shares.
Jiao Jiao reduced her holdings the most, leaving her with only 10% of the guild. In exchange, however, she received 2% of Thorn Town.
The others also reduced their holdings to varying degrees, but all received at least 0.5% of the town’s shares.
This included Feng Huimin.
Feng Huimin had officially joined the ranks of the shareholders.
Her talent and class continued to grow, earning everyone’s recognition.
More importantly, her abilities were the most frightening part.
With only a little maneuvering, she could have a tremendous impact on the entire guild.
Chu Fu recognized her abilities and had never been stingy when it came to rewarding her.
Thus, Feng Huimin obtained 0.5% of the Thorn Guild and 0.5% of Thorn Town.
The guild now had six shareholders in total.
Afterward, Feng Huimin consolidated all the contribution points and gathered a total of 5.8 billion.
Aside from the fourteen Town Upgrade Blueprints exchanged by Chu Fu’s fixed team, she found trusted members of the guild to exchange for the remaining blueprints.
Chu Fu then issued a new mission in her capacity as Town Lord.
[Mission: United as One, Build Our Home!
Submit Town Upgrade Blueprints to build a new home and receive a generous gold reward!]
The system approved the mission.
Thus, fifty-eight Town Upgrade Blueprints were submitted. The gold coins distributed as rewards were then collected back.
A perfect closed loop.
With the blueprints in Chu Fu’s possession included, there were fifty-nine in total, and Thorn Town instantly tripled in size.
The next moment, it became a town measuring 8,000 by 8,000 meters.
It was only a tiny step away from becoming Thorn City.
Afterward, the Thorn Guild issued a large number of construction missions, keeping the plot-focused players and life-class players busy as well.
Just as Chu Fu was dealing with these matters, Li Weizheng’s communication device rang.
He was clearly a little troubled, but he still spoke up.
“Erm, Classmate Chu, the higher-ups have sent down some instructions. They’d like to borrow a batch of Dark Gold-grade equipment from you.”
Li Weizheng knew all too well how valuable this equipment was, and he found it rather difficult to bring up the request.
However, when Li Weizheng said this, Chu Fu narrowed her eyes, and a sly curve appeared at the corners of her lips.
They needed something from her?
That was wonderful!
She had just been wondering how to ask for ownership rights to land in the real world!
