Chu Fu took another look at the three resource sites the system had awarded to the guild.
These resource sites could be placed freely, and their contents could be selected as appropriate.
The system had awarded them three gold-tier resource sites, capable of producing gold-tier materials.
After carefully considering her options, Chu Fu selected a darkstone vein, a medicinal herb valley, and a logging ground.
Once she finished setting everything up, the land outside Thorn Guild City began to rumble and transform.
Chu Fu immediately went to the medicinal herb valley and began planting Holy Light Grass and Resurrection Grass.
Her grand plans for producing Holy Light Potions and Resurrection Potions were about to begin as well.
Therefore, in addition to the Thorn Printing Factory, she would also need to establish a Thorn Pharmaceutical Factory.
After staying busy for several hours, Feng Huimin finally finished negotiating with Li Weizheng and the others.
She had secured a 45% share of War Soul City’s profits from both the game and reality, though she would have no say in its decisions.
The money earned from these dividends would first be transferred to Thorn Guild’s accounts before being redistributed according to the 100% shareholding structure.
Chu Fu had announced the subscription opportunity, but not many players had one million contribution points.
Among them were more than a thousand players with S-rank talents. Those who lacked the money could borrow from Chu Fu.
Chu Fu would lend them one million contribution points, and they could repay her with guild contribution points.
In other words, she was investing in talent.
At that moment, all one thousand S-rank players were moved to tears by gratitude.
They declared that from then on, they would be Chu Fu’s devoted followers, ready to die for her!
In the end, 3,218 people within Thorn Guild subscribed.
Together, they held 32.18% of the shares.
The monster-clearing experts on Chu Fu’s team also acquired roughly 1% to 3% each.
That left 33% of the shares.
Chu Fu intended to split them evenly between herself and Chu Feng.
But when she looked up, she discovered that Chu Feng had already left.
She immediately contacted him.
Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?: “Big Brother, when did you leave? I negotiated with the authorities and bought us a share of the dividends. I wanted to give some to you.”
Chu Feng sounded a little resentful.
His little sister didn’t even know when he had left? Several hours had already passed.
His little sister had truly become a very busy person.
Of course, although he felt a little aggrieved, Chu Feng was not unreasonable.
However, he did not want any of the authorities’ shares.
My Little Sister Is Universally Super Cute: “I don’t want them. And don’t invest too much either. It isn’t necessary!”
My Little Sister Is Universally Super Cute: “Don’t be fooled by the fact that the authorities are still doing everything they can to save the situation. That’s only because the current disasters are happening in isolated areas. When one place is in trouble, support comes from everywhere else, so they can still hold on.”
My Little Sister Is Universally Super Cute: “But when the day comes that the land expands a hundredfold, communications are cut off, human greed grows without limit, and the strong claim territory as kings, the authorities won’t be able to control anything.”
My Little Sister Is Universally Super Cute: “They also love rescuing people. Then the people they save steal food and equipment instead of fighting monsters, while those who step forward to help end up becoming their babysitters!”
My Little Sister Is Universally Super Cute: “Fu-Fu, I actually don’t want you to work so hard, and I don’t want you to get caught up in this mess…”
Chu Feng did not want to say too much. He did not want innocent, simple-hearted Chu Fu to see through the ruthlessness of the apocalypse and become filled with despair about the future.
But Chu Fu’s reply left him stunned.
Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?: “I understand, Big Brother. But you said the strong will claim territory as kings. Is it possible that I’m already one of the strong?”
Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?: “I’m already carving out my own territory. In the future, people on my land won’t even need to go out and fight monsters. And if anyone dares betray me, I’ll feed them to the goblins!”
Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?: “I hope everyone can become a player and gain the strength to survive in the apocalypse. If that happens, they won’t need to steal other people’s equipment, right?”
Chu Feng was first shocked by Chu Fu’s kingly attitude. Then he was rendered somewhat speechless by her naive optimism.
Still, he would only indulge his little sister. He would not argue with her anymore.
My Little Sister Is Universally Super Cute: “Fine. Whoever tries to steal from you, I’ll help you beat them up!”
Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?: “Mm-hmm! Since you don’t want the shares, I’ll buy them all!”
Afterward, Chu Fu took all 33% of the remaining dividend shares for herself.
She had never intended to make much money from War Soul City.
She was simply using it to provide benefits for her own people and win their loyalty!
Once everything was settled, it was already midnight.
The defense battle for Windpeace Town began.
…
Inside Windpeace Town.
The players stared at the teleportation array in anticipation, but even after the first wave of monsters descended, they still saw no sign of anyone arriving.
“It’s over! Thorn Guild isn’t coming!”
The players of Windpeace Town were deeply disappointed.
They all knew that the members of Thorn Guild had gone to Valley Pass Town.
They had even led the players of Valley Pass Town to conquer an Origin-level dungeon.
Although… only a little over nine hundred players from Valley Pass Town had participated in the town defense battle, and five hundred of them had been moles, they had still been led by Thorn Guild.
As long as they participated, they would gain ten points to all attributes and be able to improve their talents. Otherwise, they would never have had enough contribution points to exchange for Talent Enhancement Stones.
But the result was still disappointing.
“I know someone there. I asked them to find out what happened, and they said Thorn Guild didn’t organize anything. Everyone is repairing the city walls right now!”
“I heard it’s because Valley Pass Town had too few people, so they were able to issue an assistance mission. We have too many players here, so we can’t request assistance!”
“Damn it! Couldn’t they issue a mission just for Plant Boss? She could lead us even if she came alone!”
“Heh, I heard Plant Boss really did ask for one, but all the missions were snatched up.”
Everyone had guessed that Plant Boss would come, so they had frantically fought over the missions, hoping to ride her coattails and reap the benefits.
As a result, they had forcibly pushed Plant Boss out of the running.
Now, everyone was seething with resentment.
“Don’t let me find out who snatched those missions.”
More than thirty players from other servers lowered their heads and did not dare say a word.
They had never expected that trying to hitch a ride on the mission would instead squeeze Plant Boss out.
The players of Windpeace Town were notorious for being difficult to deal with.
After Wang Rongxun had declared bankruptcy to escape his debts, the people of Windpeace Town who had lent him money were naturally unwilling to let such a fat sheep off the hook.
Moreover, because they all shared the same interests, the players of Windpeace Town were remarkably united.
Every day, they went to cause a commotion outside Shepherd Source Corporation.
They had made quite a few headlines.
Perhaps because the incident had gone viral, players from Linjiang City could no longer join Server 030. Instead, they joined Server 024 and developed independently.
Windpeace Town had become famous as well. It was the first server where independent players had forced a group-run studio to retreat.
The number of players participating in the defense battle was indeed substantial—no fewer than forty thousand.
Furthermore, as the Flower Kingdom’s dark-gold equipment program progressed, some dark-gold equipment would inevitably enter circulation.
The price of gold-tier equipment had plummeted.
The authorities of the Flower Kingdom had also provided some support.
As a result, the players of Windpeace Town had more than enough strength to deal with the goblin invasion.
They had originally planned to take their time fighting the monsters.
Then a server-wide announcement suddenly rang out.
[Server 0248888, Windpeace Town] [Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?]: “Hello, players of Valley Pass Town. After the ninth wave of monsters in the town assault ends, I will head to the true goblin lair—the rift twenty kilometers away.
“Since a great deal of money was spent on this expedition to provide reinforcements, all Dark Gold equipment obtained from clearing this Origin-level dungeon will be reclaimed. However, participating players will receive a 10-point increase to all attributes, along with some enhancement from the leaked divine power.
Players who wish to participate, please take note of the time and keep up with the group.”
