822 Upgrading to Capital City (1/2)

Chapter 822 – Upgrading to Capital City

The notification from the Four Seas Bank instantly placed Tingyu Floor and the other betraying guilds into an awkward situation.

Apart from the players watching the bustle, the members of their guilds raised doubts about their guild leaders and sought a logical explanation.

Due to the past wrongdoings of Huitong Bank, there were many players who doubted this change of investment, as they questioned whether this move was done for personal interests.

All of a sudden, the members inside Tingyu Floor and the other guilds were unsettled, dampening the joyous atmosphere of taking down the Satellite City. Once the guild had confirmed their position as the overlord, the members started to feel more concern about their personal interests.

Some things done in the dark were unable to be shown in the light.

Priest Qingniu and the other two were furious; they were already raging about the compensation fee and did not expect that this extra trouble to happen.

They had no choice but to accept the consequence due to the white and black words on the agreement.

They were already annoyed enough. Internally, they were shaken and had no choice but to try and calm their members; this made them even busier, which spoiled their happy mood.

Jianqi Leiyin already started to feel some faint regret in her heart.

The fact that Snow-War Rose protected the Satellite City showed that Silver Hand was not that scary. Maybe if they did it well, Tingyu Floor would have managed to use their own strength to seize the Satellite City.

If that was the case, she would not have been threatened by Silver Hand.

At this very moment, Blood Romance suddenly ran out to add to the fun. Ouyang Shuo and Blood Romance announced that Shanhai City and Blood Evil Mercenary Guild had become iron allies and would back off and advance together in the wilderness.

Before this, the two of them simply had a normal cooperation relationship, but now they were totally working hand in hand. With the support of Blood Evil Mercenary Group, Shanhai Alliance's guild advantage in the west did not completely collapse.

One must not forget that Blood Romance had a map of the underground world. Blood Evil Mercenary Guild that sat in Xianyang Satellite City was destined to be a step quicker than the others in exploring the underground world.

Blood Evil Mercenary Group's position as the number one guild in the China region was still unshakeable.

Apart from Ouyang Shuo, no one else knew the reason behind Blood Romance's sudden change in attitude. In the afternoon, he suddenly visited Shanhai City. The two of them talked for less than an hour before making the alliance announcement.

From his mouth, Ouyang Shuo understood more mysteries about Silver Hand. Ouyang Shuo grew more and more serious about this mysterious organization.

...

On this day, the show that was played dazzled everyone.

Shanhai City's counterattack stopped here. Ouyang Shuo had considered whether or not to let the Black Snake Guards reveal information about Silver Hand to rile up the grassroots players' indignation.

Thinking about it, he decided against such action as the time was not right.

If he revealed Silver Hand to the world, players might not be angry but instead worship them and not want to be enemies with them. This would instead put Shanhai City in an extremely awkward situation.

The game interests were connected to real life interests, so there definitely were not so many hot-blooded people who took revenge without thinking.

In the future, the ones that were trustable would be those who moved to stay in Shanhai City as they would both earn glory together and fall together.

That was why Ouyang Shuo said that the time was not right.

It was only the 4th year of Gaia. Ouyang Shuo had the patience to have a long and drawn out battle against Silver Hand. To let Shanhai City upgrade to Capital City was the main focus now.

************

Gaia 4th year, 3rd month, 1st day, Shanhai City.

In five months, Shanhai City would reach the two million population upper limit. This was also under the premise that the Civil Affairs Department had strictly chosen migrants.

If not, they would have been able to gather one million within four months.

Within the main hall of the Nanjiang Governor-General Manor, Ouyang Shuo opened the interface and selected territory upgrade. A System Notification sounded out in his ear, and a series of basic requirement checking followed.

”System Notification: Checking if Shanhai City meets upgrade requirements...”

”Requirement 1: Population reached the two million upper limit. Requirement met!”

”Requirement 2: All basic buildings have been constructed. Requirements met!”

Speaking of basic buildings, one had to mention the Grade 3 Prefecture observatory. Due to the Ying and Yang school of thought not appearing, this condition was extremely annoying for Ouyang Shuo to fulfill.

The construction of the observatory only happened a few days ago.

After Jiang Shang agreed to become the Grand Secretary of the cabinet, he personally contacted Zhou Yan. Although Zhou Yan was not willing to move in, he still sent two disciples to give Jiang Shang face.

Hence, the observatory was constructed.
