In the third level, there are currently only two projects.
One is Baihua Tang, the other is Hua Paper.
The steps for making the former are to collect the petals, boil a large pot, add the petals and various ingredients, and then stir, stir, stir.
The latter also involves collecting petals, but then they have to crush the petals, squeeze out the juice, chop the petals, and add other ingredients to make pulp. The next step is the familiar papermaking process.
The employees were a little nervous: "Can this be used to screen out those who pass the test?"
Lin Fuxia said, "Other stages involve fighting and killing, testing strength and courage. This stage tests the patience, attentiveness, and dexterity of the challenger."
She rambled on in all seriousness: "This world is so noisy and bustling, there should be more places where people can calm down."
The employees thought it made sense, but they also felt like something was wrong.
But they just need to be obedient.
Lin Fuxia led them to study the process flow.
Among the five players she found, there was a paper maker who got the hang of it quickly.
Just after she finished the whole process, Lin Fuxia received a notification from her gatekeeper badge, saying that a challenger would soon reach the third level and asked her to be prepared to welcome him.
Ah, this...
Isn’t this a bit too fast!
Because it was the first day of opening, the manager came to inspect the store. When he heard Lin Fuxia's question, he glared and said, "How can it be fast? According to the plan, someone should have rushed to the third level long ago!"
You should know that all guild leaders in the entire game world have to come to the Sky Garden to challenge levels and upgrade.
The entire game currently has 12 service areas, each area has dozens of city-states at least, and hundreds of city-states at most, and each city-state has more or less several guilds - this includes the branches of large guilds.
If we calculate this way, how many guilds and how many guild presidents are there?
So far, there are definitely quite a few people who have the ability to make it to the third-level announcement.
But why hasn't anyone reached the third level yet? Again, the image adjustment is the root of all evil.
There are a lot fewer handsome men and beautiful women. Few of the previous guild presidents have ever reached the Queen level. They couldn't even get the guild residence order, so of course they couldn't reach the third level.
Lin Fuxia thought, so I just caught up.
And what is about to come is the first guild in the world to reach the third level.
Once it passes customs, it must be announced to the whole world.
She was unusually nervous.
The employees, especially the five player employees, also became nervous, feeling that they were about to witness history.
Lin Fuxia: "Hurry up and get ready, put on your mask, and try to stay calm and composed. If you're nervous, don't speak. Don't let them know you're players."
"Show us the third level's style! We're going to be the one to decide whether a third-level guild can be formed!"
The employees immediately held their heads high and felt inexplicably proud.
At this time, the Queen's selection venue.
One team of players finally defeated the other team, won the victory, and received the guild residence order issued by the queen.
They breathed a sigh of relief: "From today on, our Holy Moon Guild is finally an officially certified guild."
The player holding the resident order was a very handsome young man. Feeling a bit hot, he hurriedly handed it to a tall, burly, menacing male player, "President, I'll leave this with you."
The fierce-looking male player looked at the small and exquisite token, and his mouth twitched. "Leave it to you. You are now the president of the Holy Moon Guild. You have to come here every three days."
The handsome player made a bitter face and said, "Let's leave it with the guild master first. I'm afraid I'll lose it."
Obviously, he was brought here to be the face of the show because of his good looks.
The last time, their elite team came to challenge, but because the president was not good-looking, they were eliminated from the audition and almost lost their lives.
Fortunately, the cold-blooded female captain of the guards only drove them out instead of killing them, otherwise the loss would have been huge.
As a last resort, everyone went back to hold a meeting, and then picked the best-looking person from the guild to be the nominal president.
Many guilds do this now.
After all, he happens to be the president and he happens to be good-looking. It is rare for such a coincidence to happen.
The fierce-looking president temporarily retracted the station order and asked everyone's opinion: "Do you still want to continue the challenge?"
"It seems that there are no third-level guilds at the moment?" someone asked.
Others were also eager to make a move.
If we can become the first third-level guild, it will be a great honor and a very resounding brand, which will be very beneficial to the development of the guild.
So, everyone unanimously decided to continue the challenge.
The guild leader said sternly, "The first two levels are fraught with danger, and the third level will surely be even more perilous. Everyone must be extremely careful. Xiaoyu, Ayue, the two of you, keep a close eye on everyone's health."
The two mages in the team nodded solemnly.
So the group of people walked forward with determined expressions, as if they were going to face death.
According to experience, if they continue forward like this, they will be automatically teleported into the third level.
Sure enough, their vision blurred before they heard a voice: "Welcome to the third level: Hardworking Craftsmen. This is a competitive level. We are matching you with an opponent... Matching completed. Your opponent is: the Wal Guild."
The people in the Vocal Guild were shocked.
It’s actually the Walter Guild!
The Wal Guild had never appeared in other games before and was a completely new guild. However, in "New World", anyone who was involved in a guild would feel nervous when they heard this name.
Because the Wal Guild is a guild established by the Wal Company. It has many branches in various service areas. The elite members are the backbone of the Wal Company and the Dong family. It has the huge financial support of Wal and should not be underestimated.
I actually ran into the Walter Guild.
The Holy Moon Guild no longer holds out much hope of clearing the level.
They claim to be pretty good, but most of them are from the Alliance and don't have much assets. They can't say anything confident when facing paying players and those with connections.
The president said, "We should focus on self-preservation. If we can't pass this time, we still have another chance. If we lose our lives in there, it will be a loss."
They took a deep breath, and the next moment the scene changed. They came to a strange courtyard and saw another team of players.
There were a row of level 30+ players, all wearing cool equipment, all the best at the same level, and judging by the colors, they were all complete sets.
In comparison, the Holy Moon Guild members' outfits, which were pieced together in inconsistent styles, looked a bit shabby.
In this fight, the outcome is almost certain.
The people of Shengyue looked at each other, and the other party also looked at Shengyue, judging their strength in their hearts.
Invisible smoke filled the air, and the desire for war was about to break out.
At this moment, a masked woman walked out. She was wearing a gorgeous yet elegant long dress, which was blown by the wind, giving her a fairy-like air.
"Congratulations to the two teams that have made it this far. Please draw the items you are responsible for."
Several balls of light appeared and floated in the air. The presidents of both sides looked at each other and attacked at the same time. Without fighting, they each chose a ball of light.
President Shengyue unfolded it and took a look: flowered paper?
What does this mean?
Looking at the opponent, he also had a slightly frown on his face.
The woman in the long skirt, Lin Fuxia, smiled slightly. "You have already chosen your respective projects. Next, please follow our instructor and start working. The winner will be determined by the scores of the two teams. The losing team will be eliminated, and the winning team will be determined by whether their scores reach the standard.
"The final score is based on a comprehensive assessment of each team's workload, quality, standardization of operations, and adherence to discipline. This is then divided by the number of participants. So, please take this seriously."
"The race is six hours long. The clock starts now."
Both teams looked surprised.
They thought they were facing a tough battle, but in the end, they were just asked to see who could work better?
By the way, this level is called Diligent Craftsman.
I'm in a daze. I actually have to work here! And it's six hours long!
They suddenly remembered that when they first left the Novice Village, the newbies’ mission was to go to work, and the work content was very weird and speechless.
So, this game was indeed developed by capitalists, right? They really want to turn players into free workers!
But they didn't have much time to complain because the timer had already started.
Four more people came out, also wearing masks, two in each team. These were their "instructors," right? The ones directing their work?
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but they look a little stiff.
Without hesitation, both teams stepped forward to ask what they should do.
Lin Fuxia was satisfied beneath his mask.
This free worker is quite active.
She glanced at the Wal Guild. It seemed that there was also a Wal Guild in Andif City, but the one in front of her was in another service area.
Another message came from the waist badge, another team of challengers was about to pass the second level and come to the third level.
Lin Fuxia narrowed his eyes. It was a bit unfortunate that they arrived. They could only make an appointment for the time being and queue up. They would have to wait until the two teams in front finished their work before it would be their turn.
…
Six hours later, the world announcement sounded in the ears of all players.
[Congratulations to the Holy Moon Guild for becoming the first Level 3 Guild. Guild Prestige +5, Guild Base Defense +10%...]
All the players looked up.
"Wow, interesting! There are already third-level guilds now?"
"Holy Moon? I think I've heard of it. It's a small guild. How could it be so powerful?"
"Don't you want to join a guild? This Holy Month seems like a good one, let's go check it out."
The outsiders were watching the fun, but the “insiders” who were also attending the office meeting all changed their expressions.
"The Holy Moon Guild actually cleared the third level! Didn't they say the Hanging Gardens were fraught with danger?"
"Hurry up and choose the most handsome one to be the president and go to the Sky Garden!"
"Contact the Holy Moon Guild immediately and ask them about the third level. I'll buy the strategy guide at a high price."
So, as soon as Shengyue and his group returned to the guild, they found that the guild was crowded with people.
Some came to watch the fun, some wanted to join the guild, some came to inquire about the situation, and some presidents of other guilds also came to visit Shengyue.
Holy Moon was just a small guild before, but from now on, it has become very famous.
When asked by several guild leaders about how to pass the level, a strange expression crossed Guild Leader Shengyue's fierce face, and hesitantly replied, "The key to passing the level is to be diligent and hardworking, meticulous, responsible, and skillful."
Several big guild presidents: ???
They were confused: "Are you sure you mean breaking through?"
Are you sure this isn't about how to be a good office worker?
President Shengyue: “…Yes, that’s right.” This was the evaluation of the gatekeeper.
The other party also said that they were the new-age workers she wanted, and it was because of their hard work and ability that they defeated the Waldorf Guild and became the winners.
I have worked all my life, but I didn't expect that this would become an advantage in passing the game.
