Two hours later.
As expected, the powerful team had already managed to sweep through all the monsters in the novice village.
With the massive body of the Tiger King crashing to the ground, the entire team erupted in cheers.
[Server Announcement: Players "Plant Sister," "Rocket on a Wheelchair," "Who You Calling Blind," "Jiao Jiao Not Spoiled," and "Suture Saint" have achieved the first kill of the level 10 field boss "Blazing Tiger King"! Reward: All stats +4, Silver Chest x1!] x3.
Server 0308888 was shaken once again.
"Oh my god, they did it again. Are they all S-rank talents or something?"
"Isn't this a record? Taking down the level 10 Tiger King on the third day—how did they even pull that off?"
"This is insane. Our server is set. When the merger happens later, we're definitely guarding at least one village!"
"Big shots, do you need any hangers-on? I can read, I know my way around, and I take shelter when it rains."
"I don't want to work hard anymore. I just want to be the little husband of Plant Sister."
The world chat was flooding so fast it was impossible to keep up.
In the Silent Forest,
Chu Fu and the others stared at the equipment scattered all over the ground, and one particularly special item.
Field boss loot dropped randomly around the area. Players had to pick it up manually, and it would then appear in the team panel.
If a solo player landed the final hit on a monster but couldn't reach the loot, they could easily get bombarded and killed by others swooping in to steal the gear.
Now, everyone scrambled to pick up items. Chu Fu was quick—her hand shot out and grabbed a gleaming silver token.
It was cold to the touch, but her heart burned with excitement.
It actually dropped!!!
"Ahhh! It's a guild token!" Chu Fu let out a scream.
"Really? For real?" Shen Chi jumped out of his mech, his eyes wide with excitement.
"Hell yeah! We're the best! We're champions! Woohoo!" Xie Lin yanked off his blindfold in excitement, waving his arms wildly. His clenched fists made the muscle lines on his arms stand out sharply.
"Ahhhhhh! This is too amazing! Plant Girl, you're incredible! Let me tell you something—I'm about to turn my life around! My dad gave each of my little brothers a hundred million to play games and build guilds. None of them could do it. Not a single one. But me? I'm the Eldest Princess!" Jiao Jiao not Spoiled roared.
"We're rich! We're rich! Oh my god, how much could this sell for?" Suture Saint chimed in.
"One hundred million!!!" Jiao Jiao not Spoiled shouted. "It's worth a hundred million!"
Suture Saint felt like she was about to faint.
She quietly glanced at her contribution share in the team: 5%.
Five percent of a hundred million? That's five million!
Compared to a hundred million, five million might seem small.
But if someone told you you'd won a five-million lottery jackpot, anyone would be jumping for joy!
Suture Saint instantly turned into a screaming chicken: "Ahhhhhhh!"
The group was hyped for a full five minutes.
Then Chu Fu coughed and called out, "Okay, calm down, calm down. Now, now—about this guild token: how should we handle it?"
Building a guild was a given,
but how to go about it, and who would take the lead, was something worth careful discussion.
Jiao Jiao not Spoiled immediately spoke up: "Plant Girl, I'll buy it. I'll buy it outright. And don't worry—the Rosary Alliance I'm building will definitely help you take down Wan Tu Properties and the Sun, Wang, and Guan families."
She took a breath, steadied herself, and finally revealed the business acumen she'd honed as a finance major.
"Those families are too powerful. You guys are just ordinary people—hell, your real-world situations aren't even great. If you became the guild leader, I'd be afraid some corporate group might come after you with an assassination attempt.
But I'm different. My dad might be unreliable, but I'm still his daughter. With that identity, those families can't touch me.
Still, the guild token is worth a hundred million.
I'll buy it as a cash investment, but I'll give you all a 50% stake as a technology investment. This way, the guild won't be totally under my control. You'll all be shareholders. I won't exploit you—I'll be begging you to carry me to more first-kills!"
Hearing this, Chu Fu couldn't help but admire her.
Jiao Jiao was putting in both money and effort.
Maybe influenced by years of game novels, where most protagonists were lone wolves or absentee guild leaders,
Chu Fu naturally thought about taking the money, doing nothing, and coasting as a big boss.
But the truth was, in her past life, Chu Fu had been a low-level working girl. Compared to the people in front of her, her biggest advantage was knowing the plot!
People don't suddenly become geniuses just because they get a second chance. She wouldn't magically know how to manage a company worth a hundred million.
And right now, the most important thing was improving strength!
Jiao Jiao not Spoiled's proposal was the best option available.
Chu Fu spoke up. Her voice was weak, but full of confidence: "I agree!"
"I agree too!" Shen Chi and Xie Lin nodded.
"Do I even need to agree?" Suture Saint said weakly.
Everyone laughed.
Next came the share allocation.
The guild token was valued at a hundred million. It would be distributed according to team contribution:
"Plant Sister": 49%
"Rocket on a Wheelchair": 23%
"Who You Calling Blind": 13%
"Jiao Jiao not Spoiled": 10%
"Suture Saint": 5%
Divided by contribution, Chu Fu could get 49 million.
Jiao Jiao said, "I don't have that much liquid cash on hand.
But we're all in Linjiang City, and I still have some real estate my mom left me—shops, villas, stuff like that.
Or if you want to buy any property, I can use the funds directly to make it easier."
Chu Fu's mind stirred.
"I remember there's a luxury villa complex in Wangxi Scenic Area. I want one of those villas."
Jiao Jiao not Spoiled blurted out, "Isn't that the unfinished project of Wan Tu Group?"
Chu Fu tilted her head, looking confused.
She honestly didn't know it was an unfinished project.
But in the original plot, Wan Tu Group had set up their main base there.
Based on her knowledge of the story and the clues now available, it was easy to piece things together.
In Server 0308888, with Universal Studio's involvement and the backing of a big spender like Jiao Jiao not Spoiled, a novice village was established.
Wangxi Village corresponded to the land in Wangxi Scenic Area.
Coincidentally, Wan Tu Group had developed a villa complex there through shady deals, which later became their stronghold after the game invaded reality.
Jiao Jiao not Spoiled seemed to sense her confusion and explained, "The scenery around Wangxi Scenic Area is really nice. Wan Tu Properties got that land cheap through some tricks.
They developed Tianxi Manor—only 100 units, each one a massive standalone villa, almost estate-sized.
The prices were sky-high.
But the thing is, these villas weren't built for people to actually live in. They were meant to be sold to their downstream companies as a way of paying tribute."
This makes a perfect setup for extortion—or bribery!
So don’t be fooled by the hundred households—no one actually lives there, and the surrounding area is just scenic spots where wild boars could show up. It’s extremely dangerous. Why would you even think of buying a house here?
What’s more, buying here is just handing money to Wantu Real Estate, isn’t it?”
“No, I’m pulling the rug out from under Wantu Real Estate.”
