There was a good reason why Profession players were highly sought after. Why else would soone play a ga? To have fun, of course. Profession players would have not much of a choice, but to spend most of their ti in city maps, working with fabric, leather, tal, you na it. How was that supposed to be fun? Hence, the second priority. Money. Players who chose such a path was doing it for the money. That's why you don't see many of these players around!
"Cutie pie! Co on! Say yes! Say yes? Pretty please?" said Miaomiao as she clung on to Jiang Fei's arm.
"Fine! Fine! That's too much skin contact! I accept your invitation!' said Jiang Fei. This girl was highly aggressive.
"Yay! Big brother is such a good man!" cried Miaomiao as she jumped to Jiang Fei's side and whispered into his ears, "We have plenty of boobalicious babes in the guild! If you work hard enough, you might end up going ho with one of them!"
"Hoho," Jiang Fei coughed. "In that case, I'd like to bring you ho."
Jiang Fei turned to the little brat and gave her so of her dicine.
"Kyaa!" cried Miaomiao in a high-pitched cry. She may be aggressive, but no one would have expected a virgin to get that crafty little minx all jumpy like that.
"Enough Miaomiao, cut the crap!"
Rosette Rose rubbed her temples before turning to Jiang Fei, "Welco Verdure Glider, to the Rosette Knighthood."
"Ding! Rosette Rose has invited you to join "Rosette Knighthood." Do you accept the invitation?"
"Yes." Jiang Fei nodded.
Rosette Knighthood was a guild. Guilds were one of the many kinds of group system in the ga. Since the guild was only just established, it had a low maximum mber limit. At that ti, they only had 40 mbers in the guild and a maximum mber limit of only 100. One thing to note was that Jiang Fei was currently the only guy in the all-female guild!
"Haha! Verdure Gilder! What a cute na!"
When Jiang Fei entered the guild and opened up the guild chat, mbers of the guild started to welco him with utmost passion.
"Urgh..."
Although the girl ant well, Jiang Fei now regretted his choice of IGN. It was very la. Even if it was a dream, Jiang Fei could have created a better na for himself!
"Verdure Glider... I think I'll just call you Glider!" said Rosette Rose, as she too noticed the oddity in his IGN. (TL note: The Chinese Na for Verdure Glider is 草上飞. Brother Glider alone is referring to a single character:飞.)
"That's nice." Jiang Fei nodded his head. Even the Guildmaster felt that Verdure Glider was... Not cool.
"Brother Glider, I need you and Tinkerbell to sign a contract with
later on.
Do you have any qualms with this?" said Rosette Rose.
"No. No problems."
Jiang Fei could see that Tinkerbell was another Profession player in the guild. Her IGN was Jade Tinkerbell. She was a Tailor, and had been recruited to join the guild as she was like Jiang Fei, a solo player.
As for the contract, it was common practice for most guilds. It was to prevent players from exploiting the guild. After all, the guild did provide all the necessary materials for Profession player to increase their Levels. Without the contract, the players could just leave once they have milked their share.
"We are just a small guild. There's no way for us to compete with other bigger ones. However, we can give you a larger cut. We created the guild not to earn money, but to enjoy the ga. The only reason we would recruit players like you is to give the other mbers a better ti," Rosette Rose explained.
"I understand," Jiang Fei replied. As ntioned before, players that chose Profession had a motive, and that was to earn as much money as they could. Even though Rosette Rose said that the guild was not aiming to earn money, Jiang Fei had his suspicions. However, when he read the contents of the contract given to him, he was genuinely shocked.
The contract stated that after cutting the cost of materials, all profits shall be divided between the Profession player and the guild at a ratio of 8:2! That's 20% to the guild while the Profession player would earn 80%! It was an unbelievable number! To put in comparison, other guilds would only give a basic salary and a 10% profit sharing! The guild itself would take 90% of what the Profession player made!
"Hm mm," Rosette Rose saw Jiang Fei's reaction and chuckled. "Like I said, the guild was created for the sole purpose of having fun. We recruit players like yourself to ease the gaplay of the guild mbers. There's no shortage of money! We only ask that you prioritize the production of any equipnt to the fellow sisters. Anything else can be discussed."
"Mother f—" Jiang Fei scread in his mind. "Just how rich are these chicks..."
Still, there it was. Even Jiang Fei had no intention of earning money from the ga. However, who could say no to money? Jiang Fei needed an exceptionally large sum of it, since he needed to "feed" the ring!
"Alright. I'll leave you to it. I'm going to train now with the other sisters. I've already given both you and Tinkerbell access to the guild's public storage. Each of you are allowed to withdraw a daily limit of 50 gold coins. Good luck, and work hard. We will be expecting you to deliver!" said Rosette Rose as she left Jiang Fei alone and dragged the other giggling girls to grind their Levels.
"F*ck . What have I gotten myself into! This is too much, even for !"
Since the beginning of the ga, Jiang Fei had yet to amass even a single gold coin! They actually allowed anyone to withdraw 50 gold coins a day?!
It was hard for anyone to farm gold coins at that early stage of the ga! Selling junk items to NPCs would only yield peanuts! It would never be enough to even buy potions, much less equipnt!
How was a guild filled with more than 40 female players able to collect that much money? It was a certainty that the source of that money was not Rosette Rose alone. If it had not been procured from the black market or MMORPG currency sellers... There had to be an explanation for this!
"Argh! Why the hell am I thinking so hard about this! I'd better start buying materials!"
Shoving his curiosity aside, Jiang Fei quickly withdrew 50 gold coins from the guild's public storage and headed to the entrance of the city gates to set up shop.
"Buying all Copper Ores! One gold coin per stack!"
Even though Jiang Fei could lt down and salvage materials from White tier equipnt, he had a far better option. Players right then were all from the Beginner's Village. Equipnt would be highly scarce and costly. It would be better for Jiang Fei to buy Ores, instead.
Even though Jiang Fei's buying price was the market's standard, he had still managed to buy many items from players returning to the city. They were all too lazy to make their way to the NPCs, and since there was soone who was willing to buy their Ore, why not sell it to him?
Jiang Fei's Profession was considered to be of the Crafting variety. So other Profession players focused on Gathering. That said, there were very few crafters around, but several more Gatherers about! Crafters required capital to start their business. On the contrary, Gatherers did not need any starting money to earn money! Even if their combat ability was lesser than that of specialized combat type Classes, they could "hitch" a ride with a large group of players. As they slew monsters for experience points, the Gatherers could take the opportunity to gather the necessary materials. That was why players who purely wanted to earn money through the ga had chosen Gathering as their Profession.
In less than an hour, Jiang Fei had spent all 50 gold coins to buy more than 50 stacks of Copper Ores. He had even run back to the guild storage to offload most of the Ores that he could not hold on to.
"Alrighty then! It's ti to Smith for a living."
Satisfied with the number of Copper Ingots, Jiang Fei headed for the Blacksmith Workshop with 20 Copper Ingots in hand.
Unlike Tailoring, Blacksmiths required an actual workspace, whereas Tailors could start crafting anywhere, anyti they wanted — as long as they had the necessary materials. Blacksmiths needed an anvil and furnace!
"Dang! Dang! Ting! Ting!"
With each strike, Jiang Fei sent sparks flying. It was beautiful. Jiang Fei was able to begin appreciating his Profession as a Blacksmith.
Soon, he would be able to survey his first work. Soon, in this case, was literally 5 seconds. The Green Copper Wrist Guard was a cheap, White tier equipnt. 5 seconds was all it took!
