Chapter 255: Chapter 250 Wherever There Is Wind, The Slaying Flag Shall Flutter
"Looks like I have no choice but to buy the top-level battle flags!" Huang Yi finally made up his mind. The two subsidiary battle flags were sothing he desperately needed. They were the first batch of subsidiary battle flags in The Second World, and others would have to spend a significant amount of Guild Contribution Points to buy them. Now was the golden phase of guild developnt when Guild Contribution Points were needed everywhere. No one would be willing to spend them on subsidiary battle flags.
Huang Yi imdiately sent a ssage to Dugu Lengcang, asking to borrow five million.
Dugu Lengcang quickly replied, agreeing readily and deciding to bring the money to him in person.
"Please wait a mont, the money is on its way!" Huang Yi said to Raphael.
"Don’t rush, we’re not done yet!" Raphael smiled warmly and said, "The battle flag is the life of a guild. You certainly won’t want to expose it in the wild, will you? There will be tis when you’re not vigilant, and you can’t always guard the battle flag. So, what will you do? You can arrange for so powerful Guild Guardians to protect your territory. I have a batch of Guardian chas here, remarkable products of the Ancient Goblins, ticulously crafted and powerful, ranging from Level 50 to Level 100. Would you like to buy a few to guard the battle flags? I suggest you buy a few Level 100 Guardian chas, they’re only five million Gold Coins each. However, let
clarify, Guild Guardians can only operate within the guild’s territory and can’t exceed the coverage of the battle flag, so if you’re thinking of using these guardians for personal gain, I advise you against it."
"No, thanks!" Huang Yi imdiately shook his head. The guild was indeed a money pit. If he wanted to develop into a first-tier one, he’d have to keep burning money. The guardians would have to wait for another solution.
"Well, if you don’t want the Guardian chas, I also have Guild Contract Stones here that can be used to form contracts with powerful magical beasts or powerful individuals, turning them into guardians of your guild. However, once they sign the contract, they can only be like the Guardian chas, confined to the activity within your guild’s territory, unable to co out," Raphael continued.
"Hm? Sign a contract, you say?" Huang Yi’s interest was piqued, and he imdiately asked, "How much is each Contract Stone?"
"These are cheaper! It depends on the level of the contract target. Contract Stones for those below Level 50 are 10,000 Gold Coins each. For those below Level 100, it’s 50,000 Gold Coins each, and for those below Level 200, it’s 200,000 Gold Coins each."
"Alright, give
three Contract Stones for below Level 200!" Huang Yi said, taking out the only 60 Diamond Coins he had on him and handing them to Raphael.
Speaking of powerful beings, his Heroes’ Prison was full of them, heroes of all appearances and abilities, and all of them were renowned historical figures. He just needed to find three powerful criminals, sign contracts with them, and he could have them guard his guild territory!
With guardians of this caliber, even the Sand Thief King wouldn’t have an advantage!
"Great! These three Contract Stones are yours!" Raphael took out three fist-sized red stones from his storage ring and handed them to Huang Yi, "But it’s very difficult for you to co into contact with powerful individuals over Level 100 right now, let alone have them sign a contract with you, so these Contract Stones will probably not be used for quite a while."
"Thank you!" Huang Yi took the three Contract Stones and carefully placed them into his storage ring.
"Since you bought three Contract Stones, I’ll give you another benefit!" At that mont, Raphael thought for a second and said, "For the next month, our Guild Hall in Tiantai City will open a special window for you to recruit guild mbers. Other guilds would need to pay ten thousand Gold Coins per day for this service! And currently, with ample windows available, if guilds start to multiply and everyone wants to use our windows, we will have to go through an auction process where only the highest-bidding guilds can rent our windows. Next, set your mbership recruitnt requirents!"
"How many people can my guild recruit now?" Huang Yi cautiously asked.
"As a Level 1 guild, you can recruit up to one million mbers. As long as these guild mbers are in your residential guild area, all their actions, whether it’s managent, construction, or farming, as long as they contribute to the prosperity of your residence, your guild will earn Guild Contribution Points. With these points, you can raise your guild level at the City Hall. If you can reach the Second Level guild, you can expand your recruitnt limit to two million people; for Third Level, it’s three million, and so on. As long as you have enough Guild Contribution Points, you can keep rising, of course, the higher you go, the more contribution points you’ll need," Raphael explained patiently.
Huang Yi pondered for a while. What he knew so far was that the Xuanyuan Clan’s mbership had already exceeded ten million, indicating that they were at least a Level Ten guild. It took them so long to reach Level Ten, so upgrading the guild was not an easy task. Now it seed that there were far more people willing to join the guild than the existing guilds could recruit, aning he could set the bar higher and prioritize recruiting skilled individuals.
"Then I will set two conditions for joining the guild. First, for Common Race and Class, one must reach Level 50 to join my guild; second, for Advanced Race, Advanced Class, Rare Race, and Rare Class, there are no requirents, they can join anyti." Huang Yi thought for a mont and said.
"Alright! We will recruit mbers for you based on these standards," Raphael nodded.
"Thank you!" Huang Yi expressed his gratitude. Now, what he lacked the most was Gold Coins. According to Raphael’s stated rental rates, even when windows were in surplus, it would cost ten thousand Gold Coins per day. And he definitely planned to recruit in multiple cities at once, casting a wide net. If he opened recruitnt in twenty cities simultaneously, that would cost him two hundred thousand Gold Coins a day, or six million in a month. Moreover, the number of guilds would later surge, and everybody would want to rent a window for recruitnt, making the windows even more expensive.
Huang Yi needed to imdiately find a way to generate inco, or he wouldn’t be able to sustain such a large expenditure.
Of course, if he truly couldn’t find a way to make money, there was still one thod he could use—he could allow Number 9 to buy Gold Coins in The Second World using real-world currency. Dugu Lengcang had amassed so many Gold Coins largely because of this thod. However, this approach might leave so traces and potentially expose the identities of certain individuals within the organization.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Just then, a series of knocks at the door suddenly echoed, accompanied by a lazy voice: "Instakill, it’s !"
"Co in!" Raphael called out loudly.
The door was imdiately pushed open, and a tall man entered, revealing the sleepy-faced Dugu Lengcang.
He glanced at Huang Yi, yawned lazily, and said, "Instakill, I didn’t expect you to create a guild so quickly. Here’s five million, count it!" With that, he took out a bag of Diamond Coins from his storage ring and placed it on the table.
Raphael opened the bag to look, then lifted it and weighed it. The Diamond Coins inside made a crisp, tempting sound as they collided with each other.
Raphael nodded in satisfaction, looked at Huang Yi, and said, "This War Flag is now yours. Before that, there’s one last step—you need to write a character on this flag so that anyone who sees it knows it’s yours. What character would you like to write on it?"
"How about the character for ’slaughter’?" Dugu Lengcang chid in at this point. He looked at Huang Yi and continued, "The King of Hell nad you King of Slaughter, and you were bestowed the title God of Slaughter. Your real na is Miao Sha, Instakill. All contain the word ’slaughter.’ From afar, anyone can recognize it as your banner. Its recognition is very high."
"Hmm, let’s go with his suggestion," Huang Yi told Raphael.
"Okay!" Raphael nodded, imdiately unfolded the black flag, and spread it out on the table. Instantly, his fingertip radiated a blood-red halo as he inscribed the word ’slaughter’ on the flag in a blood-red color. It looked as though it was painted with fresh blood, exuding a palpable sense of killing intent.
After that, Raphael took out two smaller Subsidiary Battle Flags and stamped them on the Main Battle Flag, after which each of the Subsidiary Flags bore the sa ’slaughter’ character.
"All set! Let’s call it the Slaying Flag. From now on, this will symbolize your Hero Guild. In the future, it may appear in cities across the continent or even on distant islands. If you manage to conquer lands on other continents, then the Slaying Flag will be planted all over the world—wherever there’s a breeze, there will be Slaying Flags fluttering."
"Thank you!" Huang Yi nodded, extended his hands, and solemnly accepted the three Slaying Flags.
Looking at the three Slaying Flags and feeling their texture, Huang Yi seed to envision a long and arduous path of conquest. For many years to co, he would raise this flag high and strive to conquer this world! Perhaps one day, the entire world would indeed be adorned with the Slaying Flag.
Wherever there’s wind, there will be Slaying Flags fluttering!
...
After leaving the Guild Hall, Dugu Lengcang imdiately said his farewells and returned to his Lonely City, while Huang Yi used the Teleportation Circle to go back to that isolated stronghold.
"ow~" As soon as he returned to the base, Little White Cat pounced into his arms, evidently having waited by the Teleportation Circle for so ti.
Qin Shiyu was also by the Teleportation Circle. Her tall figure stood there elegantly, looking even more enchanting under the bright moonlight. Her beautiful eyes fixated on Huang Yi, blinked slightly, and she asked, "Where have you been?"
"I went to create a guild," Huang Yi replied with a slight smile. "The Guild is nad ’Hero.’ Here is our War Flag," he said as he took out the three flags.
"That was fast!" Qin Shiyu’s eyes lit up as she observed the three War Flags. But her expression quickly turned to one of confusion: "Isn’t there only one Guild War Flag? Why do you have three?"
