953 Fish in Troubled Waters (1/2)
Chapter 953 – Fish in Troubled Waters
Based on the guild promise, dead players could obtain 500 gold and also a set of equipment. However, that set was just basic equipment, and it could not even be compared to the ones they had dropped.
In the 4th year of Gaia, the equipment of the adventure gamemode players was mostly crafted based on their cultivation method, talents, and combat habits.
If one sold their equipment to others, it would go for for one to two hundred gold. However, it was worth thousands of gold to them. Hence, if they could get back the equipment they had dropped, reducing the compensation amount was not out of the question.
Once everyone digested that, Fallen Dust continued, ”There's also one more piece of good news. If we allow them to move in, the Purple Moon Alliance problem will be solved too.”
”How so?”
”Great Xia is willing to sell the Somalia Satellite City rights to them. With that, they would move over and will not form a threat against us.”
”Phew!”
Hearing that, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.
In the end, the Purple Moon Alliance was the huge mountain that was weighing down on them.
With those two terms, they had no reason to decline, ”We agree.”
”Agree!”
When Fallen Dust saw that, he smiled and nodded.
After the discussion, and after all the members agreed, the Xiao Alliance settled on a compensation plan.
First, Xiao Alliance was renamed to Fallen Leaf Alliance.
Secondly, the 90 thousand dead players would have their compensation fee lowered to 200 gold, and they would receive the items that they had dropped.
Thirdly, Great Xia used the dropped equipment to buy up 30% of the shares of the alliance.
Fourthly, they would invite a large-sized group known as Quicksand, earning five million in fees.
Quicksand was not the guild that Xiao Nianying had suggested but one that Fallen Dust recommended. Outsiders did not know that Quicksand was under Great Xia's control.
Just like that, Fallen Leaf Alliance was basically under the control of Great Xia.
Controlling Fallen Leaf Alliance and drawing away Purple Moon Alliance basically announced that the Dali guild circle was under Great Xia's control. Once again, they cut away an important arm of Dali.
At the same time, in the battle against Yanhuang Alliance, Great Xia had taken down another city. The battle of guild strength was slowly leaning toward Great Xia.
The advantage that the Yanhuang Alliance had built up through the help of Silver Hand was basically used up.
Fifth, each member would donate 10 gold in exchange for relevant guild points. Hence, they could earn seven million gold. At the same time, they would not hurt the normal interests of the players.
Sixth, they would sell a bunch of rare ingredients to Thread in exchange for three million gold.
As the largest purely work occupation player guild in the world, Thread relied on the underground world and was prospering. Its wealth could be comparable to countries, so it had an unlimited thirst for rare ingredients.
To be able to get so many rare ingredients at once could make Qing Sikou laugh in her sleep. For this batch of ingredients, Thread could earn two million and above in profits after they worked on them.
The later the game went on, the grandmaster and master level work occupation players of Thread would be able to earn more and more profits.
The quiet rise of Thread also caused the status of work occupation players to rise. At this date, players had started to realize the massive value of work occupation players.
If it were not for Great Xia protecting them, Thread would have been ripped into pieces.
When she got the news, Qing Sikou expressed that she was willing to give Ouyang Shuo 300 thousand gold as thanks. Ouyang Shuo smiled and rejected the offer, as he was not greedy for such a small amount.
Qing Sikou smiled, ”I know that you do not lack money. How about this? I'll prepare some things for Song Jia and Bing'er.”
Only then did Ouyang Shuo not reject.
With Qing Sikou's current wealth, the things she prepared would definitely be expensive and could even exceed 300 thousand gold. Ouyang Shuo accepting it was admitting their private friendship.
When Qing Sikou heard that, she was naturally delighted.
...
Completing this round of deals, Fallen Leaf Alliance managed to pay up the 18 million gold compensation. The guild storage also had batches of equipment and items, and they would not all cleared out.
Out of the five million spendable gold, they still had two million gold left.
This was the best solution to the Fallen Leaf Alliance members. Not only did they not shake the roots of the guild, but they also protected their position as the top guild in Dali.
More importantly, with Great Xia as a backer, they did not need to worry about Great Xia finding problems with them.
Once the dust settled, the Fallen Leaf Alliance was delighted to find that their guild strength had actually risen instead. They had actually welcomed a new era.
The only sad ones were probably the Xiao Family and the Yanhuang Alliance who backed them.
