The guild territory area has been increased.

"Six people."

The explanation for increasing the number of elite members to 6 is very simple: 6 members are taken as the maximum reward limit, and all bonuses will be significantly reduced if the number of members in the guild exceeds 6.

The new guild skills unlocked by level 4 guilds are Temporary Base Passage and Exquisite Skills.

-------------------------------------

[Temporary Stronghold Passage (Maximum Level): Opens a temporary stronghold passage while out of combat. This passage allows for travel to and from the guild stronghold without any pre-casting. Each guild member can only open one passage. The passage will disappear upon entering combat. (This skill is disabled when the guild has more than 6 members.) (The passage is only visible to guild members.)]

【Masterful Skills (LV:4) - All NPCs stationed in your guild will possess master-level skills, increasing NPC work efficiency by 400%, and guild NPCs can temporarily leave the guild to perform special tasks for the guild leader (10x increase already shown)】

------------------------------------

Having obtained the skill pole, Lu Cang raised his hand to try out the new guild skill.

With a slight lift of his hand, without any delay, a blue portal opened in front of Lu Cang.

Lu Cang walked into the teleportation portal.

As expected, they went straight back to the guild's base.

Previously, there was a skill that could return to the guild base after a seven-second chant, but that was a one-way teleport, similar to returning to town.

But this portal can now support both travel to and from the other side.

The differences are actually quite significant.

Back at the guild headquarters, the castle was still the same castle, but the overall area of ​​the guild had become much larger.

Inside the castle are an alchemy laboratory, a food workshop, a library, an enchanting hall...

Outside the castle, there are ore refineries, animal training grounds, and mount storage areas, as well as vast grasslands and gardens.

In the garden, there are parasols, lounge chairs, small dining tables, and dessert tarts. The chef is always on standby. As long as Lu Cang gives the order, he can immediately prepare exquisite food. As a master chef, he has a very rich repertoire of recipes to prepare.

Furthermore, these foods can provide players with considerable attribute and status bonuses.

However, the higher the bonus of the food, the more outrageous the cost of making it. Normally, buying food produced by chefs directly is far less cost-effective than players buying materials to make their own.

Under the influence of guild skills, all NPCs within the guild have reached the master level.

NPC skill specialization levels are divided into: Common, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Master, Hall of Fame, Legendary, Mythical...

The higher their level of expertise, the more they can do, and the higher their work efficiency and the higher the quality of their work.

Advanced craftsmen can forge and upgrade exclusive equipment, and can upgrade exclusive equipment to gold quality.

Expert-level craftsmen can forge equipment at a significantly faster pace and upgrade their exclusive equipment to platinum quality.

Master-level blacksmiths will have a higher success rate in enhancing equipment, and there is a small chance of a critical strike on equipment enhanced to +5 or below. A successful enhancement will directly increase the enhancement level by 2, up to a maximum of +3 to +5, and they can also forge high-level equipment.

The equipment that is forged will have better attributes.

"Not bad."

Lu Cang not only granted Yun Qing access to the Godslayer Guild, but also granted her permission to build the Godslayer Guild.

She was the one who decorated and arranged the guild headquarters of the Godslayer Guild. After Yun Qing's arrangement, the entire guild headquarters appeared relaxed yet beautiful.

A level 4 guild should be a super-large guild that can accommodate 500,000 people, with a huge venue. Now, it seems a bit too extravagant to give it to five people from the Godslayer Guild. This also makes the atmosphere of the Godslayer Guild's territory seem unusually relaxed.

It was more like a casual tea party than a guild meeting.

It would be difficult to find such an atmosphere in other guilds, especially large guilds. The setup is often tense, with a group of people gathered together making a lot of noise. Guild resources are often much cheaper and more affordable than outside resources. With so many people crowding together to use guild resources, some guilds wish they could use one resource as two.

Naturally, there wouldn't be much space left for leisure activities. In the words of those guild leaders, "If you want to rest, there are so many places to rest in the Fantasy Realm. Why do you insist on resting in my guild, where every inch of land is precious?"

"I'll probably come back often in the future."

Having acquired the [Temporary Base Passage] skill, Lu Cang and the others can return to the guild base at any time, even inside a dungeon.

It's like having an extra space with you, which is quite convenient.

It's like a fantasy protagonist carrying around a small world. While it doesn't significantly boost combat power, it is still useful.

For example, if Bai Lu encounters a dangerous situation that is difficult to deal with on her own, she can directly use the passage to bring Lu Cang and the others over, which is equivalent to a multi-directional teleportation portal.

Even if the guild members are scattered all over the country, they can reunite immediately when someone in the guild encounters trouble.

However, if you encounter a situation outside where you don't want to fight and want to hide temporarily...

You can also immediately open a portal to return directly to the guild stronghold and hide, which is very useful in situations where you are about to be discovered while stealing.

If you're stealing a crucial item but the room owner is about to return halfway through and you have nowhere to hide, you can use the teleportation portal to return to your guild.

In any case, having an extra space on you always has its uses.

After the guild is upgraded.

Lu Cang then assigned tasks to everyone.

Leng Qingying went to the mount shop to buy new mounts for everyone.

Bai Lu continued reading.

The exclusive equipment for Brave Warrior and Zuya was handed over to the blacksmith in the guild for upgrading. The two large baskets of materials brought back from the Doomsday Night dungeon were barely enough for the two of them to upgrade their exclusive equipment.

The blacksmith is a master craftsman, so he can naturally upgrade his weapon to platinum quality. The brave and fearless warrior just finished fourteen matches with Lu Cang, so he doesn't need to continue training.

With nothing else to do, Zuya led five warhorses galloping across the guild's grasslands.

Lu Cang then left the guild's territory. Brave Warrior followed beside Lu Cang and asked, "Boss, what's going on with this posture?"

"The Seven Sins Stance is both a buff and a curse. When you choose the Seven Sins Stance, the Seven Sins Stance will also choose you. If you cannot control it, it will turn into you. It's that simple."

"It may look like a trial, but it probably hopes you can pass it so it can parasitize you, gradually devour you, and become the true host."

Hearing Lu Cang's explanation, the fearless warrior felt a little terrified.

"No wonder...no wonder the third trial was so easy."

The fearless warrior couldn't help but wonder if this arrogant attitude would stick to him no matter what he chose in the third trial.

"Boss, what if I don't wake up?"

"Just keep being a slave to arrogance," Lu Cang said casually.

The fearless warrior shuddered.

This is a bit like being possessed, it's terrifying!

Lu Cang laughed and said, "Were you scared?"

"Boss, this is more than just a little scary."

Lu Cang glanced at the sky, then leaped onto the roof: "Actually, it's not that scary. When you absorbed the Arrogant Stance, it forcibly took over your consciousness, but that only lasted for a few hours. In fact, even if we leave it alone, you will gradually recover on your own."

Brave and fearless followed closely behind Lu Cang, leaping with great force, causing the earth to crack open, and followed Lu Cang to the rooftop.

The guards who were left behind were just cursing. They wouldn't arrest anyone for this kind of damage to town buildings, but they would certainly curse.

Lu Cang strode quickly across the rooftop, explaining as he went, "However, arrogance will lurk deep within your consciousness, gradually eroding and changing your thoughts, and taking over your mind."

"If you can resist its influence and suppress its agitation, you will be able to completely control your arrogant attitude."

"On the contrary, it would indeed be somewhat dangerous."

"However, compared to the countless dangers in the illusionary world, this is nothing."

There are too many deadly dangers in the Illusionary Realm. Compared to that, this side effect is relatively mild, considering the powerful boost to Arrogance.

Brave and fearless followed behind Lu Cang, took out the empty potion bottle and glanced at it: "But... Boss, this medicine only lasts for seven days."

"Will I still be brainwashed in seven days..." the fearless warrior whispered weakly.

"Therefore, it won't directly take over your thoughts after seven days. You need to adapt to its arrogant attitude yourself. You should use your willpower to overcome it."

“Suppress your arrogance. Once you are fully integrated, no matter how arrogant you are, there will be no side effects.”

How can I know when the fusion will be complete?

"Have you seen the Mystery? It's like a digestive potion; you'll know when you've digested it."

"I haven't seen it..." Brave and Fearless shook his head.

Lu Cang sighed: "Anyway, you'll know when it's fully integrated."

"By the way, boss, what are you doing now?"

The brave and fearless man followed Lu Cang all the way, but he had no idea what Lu Cang was up to.

"What are you doing... catching the cat."

Lu Cang conjured a dagger in his hand, tossed it aside, and shifted his position. The fearless warrior then vanished from Lu Cang's sight.

bite!

Trial City - North Suburbs

Not far away, Xiumi's tail stood up.

"What kind of greeting is that, meow!"

"You're clearly my friend, can't you just say so in a message, meow!"
