Chapter 248: Player Base Is Canceled?
“Junior Brother!
“Sorry, I’ve been swamped these days. I already asked soone to delete the posts!”
In the Confederation Office of Yang City, Director Zhou rubbed his forehead exhaustedly and said to Ji Ye.
The announcent of every batch of new players was a challenge to the Confederation Office.
In particular, there were ten million new players this ti, and three thousand in Yang City. As a result, the Confederation Office of Yang City was seriously short of hands.
“Actually, my superiors are considering canceling the player base!”
“Senior Brother Zhou” divulged a piece of inside information to Ji Ye.
“Huh?”
Ji Ye was a little bit surprised.
After all, everybody knew why the player base was founded.
It was ant to protect the lives and properties of the players as well as the safety of the country.
That was not just propaganda. Actually, many people wouldn’t be able to control themselves when they were suddenly given power. If the player base was canceled, certain social incidents might happen.
“It can’t be helped. We’re having pressure from all aspects... including the increasing number of players, the enormous funding, the space...” Director Zhou opened his mouth and said.
“Actually, it’s already hard for the countries that aren’t very rich to maintain the player bases, and it’s even harder for the countries that are rather chaotic.
“My superiors implied that the limitation of the player base will be lifted after the Honor System is better implented. You will be able to freely decide whether or not to stay in the player base when your Honor reaches a certain level. Of course, by then, you might have to pay rent in order to stay in the player base...”
Director Zhou smiled and made a joke.
It was not hard to imagine. Although the players were sotis dissatisfied that they were restrained in the player base, almost all their demands could be satisfied in the base, so they could do things on the Land of Inheritance without worries.
When the day really ca, there would definitely be players who would be reluctant to leave.
“Right, speaking of Honor, the Confederate governnt already had a eting about that.
“Bonuses will be given to the settlents that had distinguished performances. It’s been preliminarily decided that all the Extraordinary Rank-6 settlents will be given a thousand points of Honor; Extraordinary Rank-7 ones, two thousand points; and Extraordinary Rank-8 ones, five thousand!
“The Extraordinary Rank-9 settlent will be given twenty thousand Honor points!”
Director Zhou looked at Ji Ye with obvious curiosity in his eyes.
“Senior Brother, stop being so subtle. It’s true that the Twin Dragon Mount fort is the Extraordinary Rank-9 settlent!”
Ji Ye nodded, not intending to keep it a secret.
It was partly because keeping it a secret was impossible.
The only reason why the level of the Twin Dragon Mount fort hadn’t been publicly known was that the Temple of Providence was locked and the new players couldn’t log off.
However, the temple couldn’t be locked forever, and the news would be leaked sooner or later.
Secondly, it was unnecessary to keep it a secret.
The Twin Dragon Mount fort had the highest level on Earth.
Ji Ye even felt that it was one of the settlents with the highest level for human beings in all dinsions.
It was safe to say that his settlent had enough advantages against other settlents on the Land of Inheritance, and it was confident to face any challenges.
On the other hand, the reward from the Confederation Office was quite generous.
As far as Ji Ye knew, the Honor points that the Confederate governnt copied from the Land of Inheritance were worth ten thousand tis more money in reality in the black market!
Therefore, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had essentially been rewarded with two hundred million yuan, which was much better than Director Zhou’s one-hundred-thousand-yuan reward in the first ti.
Of course, as a reward for settlents and individuals, “Honor” could not be traded directly.
However, indirect transactions were still possible! For example, the Honor owners could spend their Honor points on sothing for a custor in exchange for money.
No matter how rigorous a system was, there were always ways to take advantage of the flaws!
Thinking about that, Ji Ye asked Director Zhou, “Huh, can I use the Honor to ask the relevant departnts to speed up their examination on the cooperation between the Twin Dragon Mount fort and the Su company?”
“Of course you can!”
Before Director Zhou replied, soone had answered on behalf of him and entered the office.
“Old Sun, why have you co to Yang City instead of staying in Guan City? Also, why didn’t you knock on the door before you ca in?”
Wariness appeared on Director Zhou’s face when he saw the newcor.
It was because the newcor was exactly Sun Changsheng, the person who was responsible for the Confederation Office in Guan City and who was the deputy director of the Provincial Confederation Office. He attempted to steal Ji Ye from him once.
“Hehe. Would you have opened the door for if I had knocked?” Director Sun, who was quite short, gloated.
“Junior Brother Ji, don’t worry. About the cooperation between the Twin Dragon Mount fort and the Su Company, I’ll pull so strings and have it approved quickly.
“Let tell you, just co to next ti you need . The Confederation Office is always in the service of the players who strive on the Land of Inheritance!”
Then, ignoring Director Zhou who was rolling his eyes, he spoke to Ji Ye excitedly.
“Junior Brother?”
Ji Ye put on a weird expression.
Why was there another person calling him “Junior Brother”?
“That’s right. I’ve done so research and found that I’m your senior brother too. Your kindergarten... No, your college is Capital University, right?”
Almost unable to hold back his delight, Director Sun held Ji Ye’s hand and said, “I was an exchange student at Capital University for a year. I only went there so twenty years earlier than you did...”
“...”
Ji Ye was rather lost for words.
How co he never knew that the leaders of such special departnts were so approachable?
Of course, he knew very well why Director Sun was so excited.
The performance of the settlents from the southwestern province was so bad that it ranked last nationwide after statistics. Director Sun, as a leader in the provincial office, must’ve been so worried that his hair turned white.
At this mont, the rumor that the Twin Dragon Mount fort was likely the Extraordinary Rank-9 settlent was revealed on the forum, so he naturally ca to Yang City as early as possible.
...
“This is Rejuvenation Fluid; its key elents are... This is what I call ‘Yang Energy Pill’, which can replenish yourself and cure your exhaustion...”
At the R&D departnt of the Su company, Ji Ye gave so items to Su Mingcheng who was wearing gloves and a protective suit.
At this mont, it cost them the power of providence for each player to log off.
Another reason for Ji Ye’s log-off this ti, apart from having the experint on the forum, was to give so of the products he fused on the Battlefield of Providence to the Su company so that they could try to copy them.
That was urgent business too.
Over these days, many other settlents had adopted a similar approach to the Twin Dragon Mount fort and cooperated with renowned companies in reality to develop products.
In order to gain a greater market share and more advantages in the world that was about to change, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had to seize every mont.
On the other hand, if the player base was indeed canceled soday, the Twin Dragon Mount fort would need a settlent on Earth!
“Those files can reduce at least half of the ti that we must spend on research.”
Browsing through the files that Ji Ye gave him, Su Mingcheng was greatly excited.
“Right now, the Twin Dragon Mount fort has 20,000 Honor points. If you run into anything that requires those points, you can go to Director Zhou or Director Sun in Guan City. Both of them are my ‘senior brothers’!”
After giving the files and samples to Su Mingcheng, Ji Ye didn’t forget to involve Director Sun in this.
“Sun Changsheng from the Confederation Office of Guan City?”
Hearing the “senior brother” that Ji Ye ntioned, Su Mingcheng was greatly excited.
As a businessman who had accumulated billions of yuan from scratch before he was fifty, he didn’t intend to look back now that he had decided to work with the Twin Dragon Mount fort. However, the Su company wasn’t the only one who saw business opportunities in this; many more powerful corporations were marching into the dical industry too.
While the Twin Dragon Mount fort competed with other Earth settlents on the Land of Inheritance, the Su company had to fight those other corporations on Earth.
It was one thing to develop a product, and it was another thing whether or not it could be approved to go to the market.
Apart from everything else, if his competitors sohow paused the approval of his products with their influence, fast research would be pointless.
As a major businessman, Su Mingcheng naturally had his connections.
However, the Su company was based in a fourth-tiered city anyway, and his influence would plumt after he left Yang City.
With Ji Ye’s promise, the products of the joint company would at least be unhindered in the southwestern province!
“Well... Master Ji, if I may ask...
“What level is the Twin Dragon Mount fort at right now?”
After they sorted out the problems that their joint company was faced with and Ji Ye was ready to return to the Land of Inheritance, Su Mingcheng couldn’t help but ask curiously.
It was not exactly because Su Mingcheng wasn’t calm enough. As a successful businessman, he was definitely better at containing his curiosity than 99% of people were.
However, the topic about whether the Twin Dragon Mount fort was an Extraordinary Rank-7 or Rank-8 settlent or if it was the only Extraordinary Rank-9 settlent had beco the most heated one on the hopage of the forum. Even he could barely hold back his curiosity.
“It’s exactly what you think, Mr. Su!”
Ji Ye spoke to Su Mingcheng with a smile.
“Got it!”
Su Mingcheng’s eyes glittered brightly.
As a professional businessman, he knew very well that the “joint company” would be able to spread worldwide with such a “title”!
That was the greatest capital that the Twin Dragon Mount fort had given him!
