Chu Fu was also frowning.
Guild buildings were often only obtainable after a guild accepted large-scale quests.
The benefits they provided to guild members were enormous.
Especially some special buildings.
[Revival Holy Spring: After dying in the wild, your soul can return to the guild’s Revival Holy Spring to revive. Limited to once per day.]
Of course, the level of this building was divine.
It could only be obtained by a level 10 guild, and in the plot, such guilds were basically national forces.
China’s Level 10 Guild: Dragon Soaring Over Nine Provinces.
USA’s Level 10 Guild: Free Federation.
Russia’s Level 10 Guild: Winter War Alliance.
Only these three had obtained this building.
But level 10 for a guild was simply too far away.
Low-level guild buildings could also be obtained through quests, but the chance to upgrade to a large village only came once.
Most importantly, after reading this introduction, a bold idea emerged in Chu Fu’s mind.
“Choose 1.”
Chu Fu said decisively.
As Chu Fu’s words fell, both she and Suture Saint chose 1.
Option 1 received 80% of the votes, exceeding 33.3%, so the other votes no longer mattered.
The system automatically released the quest: escort the NPC to Wangxi Village.
[Yes / No: Accept the quest: Escort Villagers to Wangxi Village.]
[Your level has reached 15. After accepting the quest, you can enter the newbie village.]
Accept!
The players of the Thorn Guild also accepted one after another.
They could go back to the village again.
Everyone looked at Shen Chi.
It was time for the Big Iron Plate to take action.
Shen Chi took out the iron plate, but when the items overflowed from it, it immediately drew exclamations from the players.
“Wow!”
It turned out to be a ship.
If you saw a ship in reality, it wouldn’t seem like much.
But in a game, a massive ship only amazed the players.
In this newbie village where flying wings were already a revolutionary invention, Shen Chi had surprisingly come up with a ship equipped with countless flying wings.
That’s right, this ship actually had flying wings.
The hull was pitch black, with flying wings flapping on all sides like oars. Not only that, but besides seats inside, three-story cabins were built on top of the hull.
It looked like an aircraft carrier.
“Can this ship really fly?” with excitement, Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao said immediately.
No more tying up ropes to catch the wind anymore.
Shen Chi’s brows relaxed, a smile curved at the corners of his mouth, and his mood was as sunny as a bright day.
“Of course!”
Xie Lin asked curiously, “But isn’t your skill only for one-time reinforcement? This ship is clearly modified.”
“My talent has leveled up!”
He posted his talent panel to the team.
[SS-Rank Talent: Mechanical Transformation
- Trait 1: Creation: You can designate a portion of materials and transform them into a mechanical item of your choice, with a certain probability of mutation. (Limited to 30 uses per day.) You can continue to modify the same item, but the materials required will double, and the quality must be one level higher.
- Trait 2: Reinforcement: You can designate a portion of materials to reinforce equipment. The strengthened item’s effect is calculated based on material level, with a guaranteed minimum upgrade of one affix. (Limited to 30 uses per day.) You can continue reinforcing the same item, but the materials required will double, and the quality must be one level higher.
- Trait 3: Mechanical and trap-type damage increased by 200%.
- Trait 4: Mechanical Fusion: The mechanical items you create can wrap around your body for combat. Before the machine is destroyed, you will not receive any damage.]
It felt similar to Chu Fu’s SS-Rank Plant User — both were group battle talents, and the fourth trait naturally developed into a survival ability.
Traits 1 and 2 had also evolved.
Plus, you could keep improving them, as long as you had enough materials.
In theory, you could even evolve an ordinary white-tier equipment into a divine artifact.
It just consumed far too many resources.
This time, the airship modification used up a large number of Black Iron-tier equipment, promoting the ship into a special Black Iron-tier transport vehicle.
The NPCs boarded the ship one after another.
This time, everything could be loaded at once.
Then, Shen Chi piloted the airship toward Wangxi Village.
But the speed of the airship was exactly the same as the flying wings, with no increase at all. The players of the Thorn Guild and the players who had come along kept up easily.
This made Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao extremely disappointed.
“I thought we’d get a covered boat ride, but it’s still this slow!”
It seemed they still needed ropes tied to the mechs’ ankles after all!
And as Shen Chi took off with the NPCs…
The members of the Star Alliance stood there with their mouths wide open, looking like a group of bumpkins who had never seen the world.
“Wait, something’s wrong. What about us? They’ve all flown away. How are we supposed to escort anyone? Where’s our quest?”
Just as they said that, the system sent a notification.
[System Prompt: Your escort target has been more than 500 meters away. Escort quest failed!]
In the live streams of Lin Haowan and Wang Silu, players watching the broadcast started spamming in the bullet comments.
“This plot… I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before.”
…
Inside Wangxi Village.
The addition of 400 NPCs caused the village to expand again.
It was estimated to grow to 1200 meters by 1500 meters.
Looking at the expansion area, Chu Fu used her flying wings to lift herself into the air, constantly taking screenshots.
She had a big plan.
After finishing the screenshots, Chu Fu immediately called Li Weizheng.
At this time, it was 5 a.m. in China.
Only a faint trace of light appeared on the horizon, and the world had not yet awakened.
But since the birth of the “Primordial Gate,” humans spent their sleep time in the game.
Li Weizheng worked during the day and had to stay online in the game at night.
Time was tight.
When he saw the caller’s name, Li Weizheng’s eyes lit up.
He had been monitoring the battles in server 0298888 before this.
After yesterday’s live streams, the number of streamer slots applied for inside the game surpassed several thousand. Among servers 0290001–0299999, more than half had streamers broadcasting, creating unprecedented popularity.
But as broadcasts spread, it became clear that the success rate of village defense battles was too low.
Those like Wangxi Village were rare as phoenix feathers.
Now that Chu Fu was calling him, he was naturally happy to communicate.
Although she had joined the Primordial Academy of E-Sports Science, the arrangement was nominal.
It wasn’t that the school could teach her anything — based on her achievements in the newbie village, she could probably teach courses there herself.
“Hello, Classmate Chu Fu. I haven’t congratulated you yet on winning another counterattack battle. Do you have any good news to share with us?”
Chu Fu chuckled softly.
“Lieutenant Colonel Li, I know that the school currently has a system of internal contributions, redeemable for real-world resources.
I can share with you some game strategies that even ordinary people can use.
I want to exchange these strategies for some plots of land to build employee dormitories and office buildings for Thorn Corporation. Is that feasible?”
Li Weizheng was stunned.
Then his expression changed.
“Which plot of land do you plan to ask for?”
