Chapter 246 Players Fight Among Themselves! A New Journey Officially Begins!

Core Hall.

Xiao Ba reported: "Master, the auction has ended, and a total of 99.55 million circulation contribution points have been recovered."

Hang Yu nodded in satisfaction.

This round of asset auction was very successful!

Hang Yu only sold a small part of the territory's assets, and effortlessly recovered almost all the circulation contribution points in the hands of the players. Not only that, he also squeezed out all kinds of resources hoarded by the players.

It turns out that making a fortune by speculating in real estate is so cool!

This will become an important part of the sustained and healthy development of the territory's finances!

Currently, only a few tens of shops and houses are sold in the main city.

In the future, as the scale of the main city continues to increase, there will be more and more land and assets available for sale.

Players who want to buy a house in the main city must work twice or even ten times harder in order to get the opportunity to settle in the main city.

Of course, Hang Yu will not treat the real estate business as a one-time deal. The territory will collect commodity taxes from the commercial operations of shops and property and land taxes from the players' private homes.

The better the main city develops, the more prosperous the economy, the larger the scale of taxation, and the healthier the territory develops.

Although the assets of the main city are definitely the most valuable and high-quality assets in the territory.

But it does not mean that the assets in other places are not valuable.

Xinwan City, White Tiger City, Shansang City, etc.

The land and real estate in these important cities can also be developed and operated, and sold at a fixed price, so that ordinary players can also have their own private property in the territory, thereby increasing the players' sense of belonging to the territory, especially to the place.

Hang Yu opened the official website forum and took a look.

The content that was flooded with messages was, as expected, all related to this auction.

The competition among the five major corps was extremely fierce, and some friction was inevitable in the process.

After the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps won the most expensive No. 1 shop, the remaining nine shops were completely a struggle among the other four major corps. In the end, the nine shops were sold at an average price of more than 3 million contribution points.

The fierce competition in this process can be imagined!

There is a record post in the forum that describes the auction in detail.

The reporter who specializes in following and reporting on this round of auctions wrote in the post:

"Brothers and sisters!"

"I believe everyone is as excited as I am!"

"Because we have witnessed a milestone in the development history of Gui Three Kingdoms!

"I believe this will also be an unprecedented glorious monument in the history of the game and the metaverse. The value of virtual assets has reached an unprecedented height, and it is even enough to be recorded in the history of all mankind!"

"Now the results are out!"

"The 10 major shops on the main city avenue have been settled!"

"The War God Temple Corps took shops No. 2, No. 3, and No. 10."

"The Divine Feather Palace Corps took shops No. 5, No. 7, and No. 8."

"Wings of Freedom took shops No. 4 and No. 6."

"Ragnarok took shop No. 9."

"The Immortal Dragon Soul took shop No. 1 on Lord Avenue!"

"First of all, congratulations to the five major corps and the five corps leaders. I wish them a lot of money in the next few years! ”

“Although the final result has come to an end, I believe that all friends who have been following this competition like me can feel that this is actually a war full of gunpowder and without gunpowder smoke!”

“Although the ten major shops on the main city avenue are all of very high quality and are definitely the top TOP0 assets in the main city, there are more or less some gaps in value between them.”

“We can easily find out through analysis.”

“The earlier the serial number, the better, and the higher the comprehensive value.”

“For example, No. 1 is definitely better than the other nine, and the first five are definitely more valuable than the last five.”

“From this point of view, the War God Temple Corps is definitely the big winner of this main city asset auction, because Captain Ye won No. 2 and No. 3, which are second only to No. 1, and also won No. 10!”

“On the contrary, the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps, which won No. 1, has been in the limelight, but no matter how high the value of No. 1 is, its value is difficult to exceed the sum of the other two shops in the top ten. ”

“Although the leader of the Libei Wangyue Corps was considered to have not made the choice that maximized his interests, he became famous in one battle and earned enough reputation. I think this may be what the leader wanted to achieve.”

“…”

When Hang Yu read the detailed competition process.

He realized how fierce the competition among the major corps was.

First, after the War God Temple Corps gave up Shop No. 1 on Lord Avenue, they focused all their fire on Shops No. 2 and No. 3. At that time, they put on a posture of protecting these two shops at all costs, and even giving up all other shops.

In fact, the position and value of No. 2 and No. 3 are not much inferior to No. 1.

The position and value of the top five shops are not much different.

It’s just that the ranking of the serial number has less symbolic meaning.

If the War God Temple takes these two shops at the same time.

It will be difficult to participate in the subsequent competition.

It is highly likely that the Divine Feather Palace and the Wings of Freedom will each get three shops.

Although the Ragnarok Corps was weaker and could hardly compete for the top five shops, it could still do its best to protect Shop No. 6, which was second only to the top five.

This pattern.

It was in line with the comparison of the Corps' strength.

It was also in line with the expectations of most people on the forum at that time.

Although the War God Temple had fewer shops, the quality of the shops was higher. Although both the Godly Feather Palace and the Wings of Freedom had three shops, the Godly Feather Palace had a slightly stronger financial strength, so it was more likely to take the 4th and 5th shops.

So as the fierce competition gradually cooled down.

The pattern at that time was:

Immortal Dragon Soul No. 1, War God Temple No. 2 and 3, Godly Feather Palace No. 4, 5, 7, Wings of Freedom No. 8, 9, 10, Ragnarok No. 6.

Just when everyone thought this was the final result.

The War God Temple suddenly made trouble at the last minute and took away Shop No. 10 from the Wings of Freedom with a higher bid.

The Wings of Freedom were caught off guard.

Three shops suddenly became two.

How could Hei Tong Rui Ge and others be willing? Naturally, a round of price competition began!

However.

What Free Wings did not expect was that.

The War God Temple Corps gave up the bidding for most of the houses at this moment.

They moved this part of the budget for houses to the competition for shops.

This caused the price of Shop No. 10, which was originally the lowest value among the ten shops, to soar.

Free Wings soon found that it was becoming less and less cost-effective to continue to fight with the War God Temple in Shop No. 10.

At this moment, there was not much time left before the end of the auction. When they realized that they could not keep three shops, they finally made a decisive decision to compete for two higher-quality shops.

They immediately turned around and snatched Shop No. 4 from the Godly Feather Palace and Shop No. 6 from Ragnarok.

At this time, it was the end of this round of bidding. Free Wings suddenly compressed the budget of three shops to two shops. The Godly Feather Palace and Ragnarok did not have enough spare budget to compete with it.

In the end, the Godly Feather Palace had no choice but to give up Shop No. 4 and snatch back Shop No. 8.

The Ragnarok Corps was even worse off. The No. 6 shop, which they had fought hard to protect and regarded as a forbidden delicacy, was snatched away by the Wings of Freedom, and they could only barely snatch back the No. 9 shop from the Wings of Freedom at a higher price.

Finally.

A chaotic battle.

It ended.

The division pattern came about as a result.

Hang Yu did not expect the process to be so tortuous.

This competition not only exhausted the five major corps and depleted their savings, but also aroused the anger of many people in the five major corps.

In fact, before this auction of shops and houses in the main city, there were already some conflicts and frictions between the major corps, but most of them were suppressed by the top leaders. This incident undoubtedly became a new catalyst.

The well-known player of Liberty Wings, "Artist Party General", directly blasted in the forum:

" x-on:Ye Limeng!"

"The War God Temple Corps is too greedy!"

"You have already taken over the No. 2 and No. 3 shops, but you are still not satisfied. You are even more unethical and launched a sneak attack at the last minute. Don't you think this is too much and too shameful? Please ask Captain Ye to come out and give us an explanation!"

As soon as the post came out.

It resonated with many Liberty Wings players.

Originally, Liberty Wings had three shops. Although they snatched No. 4 from the Divine Feather Palace and had a shop in the top five, the number of shops has shrunk to two. From the perspective of overall interests, it is definitely a loss!

"That's right!"

"The War God Temple is too domineering!"

"Are you going to eat alone?"

"Doing this is completely backstabbing a friend!"

"We need Corps Commander Ye Limeng to give an explanation!"

"..."

Ye Limeng did not respond publicly to the accusations of the Free Wing Corps members. As the Corps Commander, his primary responsibility is to put the interests of the Corps first, seek more benefits for his brothers, and come up with various means for the development of the Corps.

Even if some means will destroy the relationship between allies.

Even if it will bring personal infamy.

That has to be done!

As the saying goes.

Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters.

A morally perfect person or a saintly white lotus cannot become an excellent leader!

This time, the War God Temple Corps did gain the most, and it is reasonable to be criticized and scolded. As the Corps Commander, it is best to keep a low profile at this time, and then solve the problem privately to avoid attracting hatred and provoking greater conflicts.

However, the Corps Commander's low profile.

does not mean that other members of the War God Temple will be willing to be scolded.

The well-known player of the Temple of War, "Glorious Years", immediately posted a reply:

" x-on:Artist Party!"

"Auctions have their own rules. This kind of bidding is for the highest bidder. The competition is not over until the last moment."

"Now everyone is competing within the rules with their own abilities within a limited time and under the attention of the public. How can there be any backstabbing? Please be careful with your words and don't mess up the rhythm and damage the reputation of our Temple of War!"

Other players of the Temple of War also responded.

"That's right!"

"This is an open auction."

"Are you still using the internal appointment and unspoken rules?"

"Everyone should bid fairly and based on your strength. If you are not strong enough, just work hard. Don't complain in the forum. This will only make the people of Liberty Wings look like they have no grace and can't afford to lose."

"We just snatched a shop No. 10, which is already a great honor for you, Liberty Wing!"

"If you are really capable, why don't you snatch No. 2?"

"It's still a question of strength!"

"..."

Some players of the Temple of War responded.

Some players of Liberty Wing were furious.

"Too much bullying!"

"I've been annoyed with the people of the Temple of War for a long time!"

"Why are you so domineering! In terms of strength, will Liberty Wings be afraid of you, the Temple of War? It's unknown who will win in a real fight!"

"..."

The two legion members quarreled directly in the forum.

In the end, even the relatively Buddhist Shenyu Palace was affected.

Hua Mulan, a well-known player of Shenyu Palace, said:

"Although the behavior of Captain Ye of the War God Temple was not fair, you, the Wings of Freedom, are not much better. Our Captain Xiao Lingdang publicly said that he would take Shop No. 4, but you attacked him at the last minute. Isn't this a slap in our face?"

"That's right!"

"Shop No. 4 should have belonged to our Shenyu Palace!"

"Can we blame the Wings of Freedom for this? There is a reason for every wrong! It was the old man from the War God Temple who messed with us first!"

"Humph, you and the War God Temple are not good people. You disrupted Our Shenyu Palace's layout, our Shenyu Palace will not let this matter go!"

"Hou Lixie, does no one care about our Ragnarok?"

"Our Ragnarok Corps is the worst, we just want a No. 6 store, but you ruthlessly snatched it away, this is really too much!"

"Yes, you Chinese players occupy nine stores, and we non-Chinese players only get one store!"

"This is unfair! I want to protest!"

"..."

The major corps began to quarrel in the forum.

At first it was just a theory and a war of words, but it soon evolved into a fight, and finally to the point of collective online battle.

It seemed that the situation was about to get out of control.

Some members of several major corps were about to tear their faces apart completely.

Several group leaders such as Ye Limeng, Hei Tong Ruige, and Xiao Lingdang hurriedly came forward to mediate in person.

During this process, Ye Limeng took the initiative to give up some interests and showed his attitude. The leaders of the major corps also issued orders to the players under them, not allowing the corps members to curse on the forum, and finally successfully appeased the conflict.

After all, public confrontation is not only very undignified, but may also damage the overall interests of the Scourge!

At this moment, the overall situation should be given priority.

Although this storm was successfully resolved by the leaders of the major corps and the leaders of all parties, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the factional struggle within the Scourge has become more and more obvious and fierce.

Hang Yu saw everything but was not surprised.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.

Where there are interests, there will be disputes.

This is an eternal iron law!

It cannot be avoided in any way!

Not to mention the Scourge Army with a scale of thousands or tens of thousands, even in a class of forty or fifty people in the real world, it is impossible for the students to be completely united. There will always be troublemakers who don’t get along with each other, and there will always be competitors who don’t like each other.

As long as the players reach a certain scale.

Then they will definitely form gangs and hold each other together.

In the end, there will even be a situation of ganging up on the dissidents and bullying each other.

After all, this is a game world that is freer than the real world. Most people in this world do not have enough awe, so they will naturally do whatever they want.

In fact.

The development of the Scourge Army so far.

It is a miracle that there has not been a large-scale internal struggle.

This is impossible in other games!

Of course, there are many reasons for this, and the two main reasons are:

First, the early players were specially selected by Xiaoba, so there were no major problems with obedience, overall view, or personality characteristics, and they would naturally be more controllable.

Second, the territory has always been developing at a high speed, and large-scale tasks have been one after another. Even if there are frictions and contradictions, they will be transferred in the development, and the Scourge has always faced external threats. Only by sticking together can they seek more benefits.

However, judging from the current situation.

The atmosphere of the Scourge is quietly changing.

As the number of players continues to grow, the composition of players becomes more and more complex, and more and more interests are involved, friction between players and competition between player forces in the future is inevitable.

However.

Regarding this situation.

Hang Yu is not worried at all.

Internal competition is worth encouraging!

Because proper competition has at least the following advantages.

First, the more players fight each other, the more they will flatter the lords and important NPCs, the harder they will strive for merit, and try their best to develop, and the territory will be more stable.

Second, the more intense the competition between players, the more it can stimulate the potential of players, making them more motivated and more motivated, which is conducive to improving the vitality of the Scourge.

Third, the main way for Hang Yu to harvest essence is death tax. As long as the player dies, the essence will be generated for the territory. As for how the player died, it doesn’t matter.

Why did Hang Yu create the Corps system?

Because this situation has been foreseen!

The Corps system will divide players into groups, each with their own team honor and team interests, which is more conducive to territory management, to ensure that even if players compete fiercely, they can make the competition take place in a benign framework.

If the Scourge is really so united that they can divide the cake by sitting down and holding a meeting, how can the territory achieve such a good effect from this auction?

To put it bluntly.

As long as it does not violate the collective interests of the Scourge.

As long as it does not have a negative impact on the development of the territory.

Hang Yu will not interfere with the competition between players, and will even be happy to see it happen.

If the fight goes too far or even touches the bottom line of development, the territory will correct or resolve it by means, so that the major corps can fight but not break, and can still cooperate to fight against the enemy in the face of external threats.

This main city auction has come to a successful conclusion. This auction is of great significance in all aspects, and the impact it has caused is even more far-reaching. Not only will the real world hype this matter, but the power structure within the Scourge Corps will also inevitably be affected.

"Master, a lord is selling the blueprint of the 'Healing Altar'!"

When Hang Yu was still killing time on the official website forum.

Xiao Ba's reminder made him pay attention immediately.

Because the territory built a third-level hall, the market size of the territory has expanded tenfold. Recently, it has become much easier to acquire blueprints and materials, and there have been many gains.

But up to now, the main blueprints received are still the more common blueprints such as spiritual fields, stables, barrier towers, reconnaissance towers, and spell towers. The rarest one is the blueprint of the third-level enlightenment tower.

Apart from this.

There are no very rare blueprints.

The overall strength of human lords is generally too weak.

It is still difficult to acquire particularly high-level or rare star drawings.

However.

This time the situation is different.

"Healing Altar" is a rare third-level recovery star building.

The building is very rare, but the function is very simple. The main effect is to allow the territory units to recover quickly.

Simply put, as long as Hang Yu builds such a building in the main city, and then consumes a certain amount of materials and magic crystals for sacrifice, then the people in the main city will be affected by the altar effect for a long time.

Even if the players do not return to the collective barracks.

There is no need to rely on the recovery array in the abyss barracks.

As long as they stay within the main city, they can recover their physical strength at a similar speed, and at the same time repair their mental and soul consumption, thereby reducing the fatigue value on the panel.

Although the healing altar cannot play a role in quickly recovering fatigue, it does not meet the arena supporting facilities that Hang Yu wants to build, but as a rare recovery facility, it also has high value.

For example.

Players just need to return to the main city.

The fatigue value will stop being generated and slowly decrease.

This means that after being exhausted from fighting outside, players do not have to choose to log off. Just going back to the main city and strolling around for a few hours can also help eliminate fatigue.

Players can spend more time in the game. The only thing that limits the player's online time is the physiological needs of the real world. Because players have more time to stroll around the main city, this will promote the development of the main city's economy and commerce.

In addition.

With such buildings

The gold content of the main city's residences will increase.

Hang Yu will also not need to arrange too many abyss barracks in the main city.

He can use the territory management function in the government hall, spend some time and cost to transfer some of the barracks in the main city, and finally deploy them in various local cities or towns suitable for novice villages.

In this way.

New recruits can choose more places to land.

Veterans will also get more resting places when they go out to fight.

This can not only alleviate the congestion of new recruits, improve the development of various regions, but also increase the efficiency of the Scourge Army.

In addition, this tower can also be effective for other units in the territory, such as the weapon refiners and alchemists in the weapon refinery workshop and the alchemy workshop. Workaholics like Yan Ling will have more time and more energy, thus improving the productivity of the territory.

After some bargaining, Hang Yu finally bought it for 120,000 magic crystals.

"Not bad! Finally, there is a decent blueprint!"

Hang Yu was very satisfied with the new blueprint and asked: "How many magic crystals are left in the territory now?"

"There are currently 90,000 magic crystals left!"

"It's all spent so quickly?!"

Hang Yu couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard this. He organized such an auction and almost squeezed out all the magic crystals in the hands of players. He earned at least 400,000 magic crystals, but he spent almost all of them before they even got warm in his hands.

Xiao Ba replied, "After the market expansion, the master acquired a large number of blueprints, including seven 'small spiritual field blueprints', one 'high-level spiritual field blueprint', five 'first-level barrier tower blueprints', three 'second-level barrier tower blueprints', one 'third-level barrier tower blueprint', two sets of 'second-level spell tower blueprints', three sets of 'second-level reconnaissance tower blueprints', one set of third-level 'spiritual horse stable blueprints', and one 'third-level enlightenment tower blueprint', with a total cost of about 360,000 magic crystals."

"In addition, the master recently upgraded the second-level warehouse, second-level city wall, and second-level skill tower facilities in the territory to the third level, and continued to build the remaining several alchemy and cooking canteens, and recruited a new batch of production personnel. The expenditure incurred in this process is not a small number."

That's right!

Although the battle of Huangmei Township has yielded huge gains!

Although the resources in the hands of players are squeezed out through the auction.

However, during this period, the hall was upgraded first, and then the warehouse, the city wall, and the skill tower were upgraded. A lot of new blueprints were purchased. These hundreds of thousands of magic crystals were spent long ago. If the territory had not sold some equipment and resources, how could there be any extra magic crystals left?

However, although the cost is high.

But every expense is worth it.

For example, upgrading the second-level skill tower to the third-level skill.

This third-level skill tower not only has several times more functions and capacity, but also has several functions that were not available before.

For example, although the second-level skill tower can be inlaid with blue-quality skill stones, it is impossible to directly learn the entire set of blue-quality skills in the skill tower through teaching.

The third-level skill tower is different.

This level of skill tower can directly teach skills.

Although it can only be taught one-on-one and the consumption of energy and time and energy is not small, at least the cost is lower than the skill book. As long as enough time is spent, the entire set of inheritance can be completed!

This also means.

As long as Hang Yu finds a way to let a Canglong Guard learn the technique, and then let the Canglong Guard practice the technique to perfection, then he can pass it on from person to person.

As long as the energy is enough.

As long as there is enough time.

The strength of the entire Canglong Guard will increase dramatically!

Every upgrade of the territory facilities is meaningful.

Because the more these territory facilities are and the more powerful they are, not only will the territory's foundation become stronger, but the contribution points of the territory will also be more valuable, and the loyalty of the subordinates to the territory will be higher.

This stage of development has achieved phased results.

Hang Yu's biggest problem now is that he is too poor!

However, having said that, the Scourge Army has almost rested, and the morale of the Scourge Army is so high that it explodes. Everyone is sharpening their knives like starving ghosts, staring at the fat pigs of the Corpse Witch, and can't wait to start a war to make achievements.

At the same time.

Jia Xu's reconnaissance mission was successfully completed.

Now the time is ripe for all aspects.

Hang Yu felt that it was time to solve the threat of the Corpse Witch Territory once and for all.

This time, not only did he need to solve the threat of the Corpse Witch Territory, but he also urgently needed to obtain the resources needed for this stage through this war.
