Chapter 65: To be a clan leader, you need to be thick-skinned
Then, Wang Ergou suddenly burst into great enthusiasm. He excitedly said to the old village chief: "Welcome! We are worried about the shortage of manpower! We will pay you the same salary!"
The village chief replied: "If the immortals need anything, please tell us! How can we ask for wages? It would be embarrassing for us!"
"How can that be possible? I can't let you work for nothing!"
"How can it be in vain? The immortals do not accept offerings or rice, but have done many things for us. Even if we give a gift of grass and a ring, we still cannot repay them. How can it be in vain?"
"hiss--"
Wang Ergou took a deep breath of spiritual energy, and then typed frantically in the Sheyi channel: "Brothers, go kill some wild monsters! Eat something delicious!
"Well, isn't there a brother who opened a food store at the sect's headquarters? Tell him to bring all the stock over, I'll take care of it all!" "Also, who has been a cook? Hurry up and start cooking!" "The NPCs are here to help, we can't just do it for nothing and ask them to bring their own food, right!?"
The speed of his hands after being single for many years was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Even Zhou Qian, who took a long time to figure out what was going on, felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
In just a few days, the second test of "Records of Ten Continents" gradually got on the right track. Led by the old players, new players gradually drew Qi into their bodies.
Zhu Tu Mengjin (Zhao Qing), whose combat power has always been ranked first, became the first player in the whole server to build a foundation. Not only can he easily clear the dungeon alone, but he can also independently accept various bounty tasks issued by the Taiping Town government. Not to mention the generous rewards, he later became a guest of honor at Guangcheng Xianrenju. Even the famous cold and aloof NPC Du Zhong invited him to visit the Guangcheng Sect, which caused all the players to shed tears of envy from the corners of their mouths.
However, compared to the old players who mostly gathered together to complete tasks and level up, the playing methods of the second-test players were much more diverse. Some learned farming from NPCs, some went to the only restaurant in Taiping Town to sing and perform, and there were also many who stayed in the sect's library and tried to become immortals.
The most outrageous thing is that a player who is said to have a doctorate in literature was facing unemployment right after graduation, so he decided to devote himself to "Ten Continents". He even took several courses such as talismans, summoning gods, and formations. He also opened a grocery store at the entrance of [Cold Pond Cave], the only secret dungeon in the entire server, specializing in selling various talisman papers and her own magic props. She was very popular on the live broadcast platform, second only to Wang Ergou and Lani. It is said that in just a few days, he has achieved the freedom to buy a house in reality...
As for Wang Ergou, who is the most popular live broadcaster, he broadcasts the construction of Chang'an City every day, which has caused netizens to joke that the players of Chang'an Sheyi are all "big black slaves" who tighten screws at work during the day and cry and shout to enter the game to tighten screws after get off work at night.
In this way, the players quickly became friends with the NPCs, and the reputation of the "easy-going", "upright and kind" "Taiyin Immortal" spread to the nearby villages and towns. Even though Fang Xianyu's ban prevented the players from leaving the range of her surveillance, it could not stop the people from spreading the news by word of mouth.
A week after the second test was opened, Guangcheng Sect actually sent a note to Fang Xianyu, congratulating Taiyin Sect for rescuing the people and stabilizing the area. They also sent a lot of defective refining equipment and alchemy products as gifts, which were better than the last time but not much better.
When Fang Xianyu appeared last week, he had been in a first-rate sect for hundreds of years, so he could understand Guangcheng Sect's thoughts. This visiting card meant that the other party finally took Taiyin Sect seriously.
Ever since she received the visiting card, she has been analyzing and calculating in her mind.
Initially, she chose to affiliate with Guangcheng Sect because it was cool under a big tree... well, the same goes for small trees. Second, she didn't have much capital. Not only could she not improve her cultivation in a short time, but she also didn't have much energy left in the system, so she couldn't hastily set up a sect. Now, she has reached the Jindan stage and can be called a real person. Although she has only one player who has built a foundation, she has a large number of players and high quality, not to mention that there is a country behind these players that is flirting with her!
With this calculation, it seems that we can directly set up our own sect? However, we still need to consider the negotiations with Guangcheng Sect carefully.
After all, although the political system of civilization in this world is still in a state of local rule, and the various sects and the factions under them are not absolutely superior and subordinate, it is somewhat shameless to just cling to someone's thighs for protection and then kick them away to set up your own faction not long after.
This requires us to analyze the survival model of the sects in this world.
Most sects are self-sufficient. They use their own medicinal and spiritual fields, and mining and breeding are done by the lowest-ranking disciples in the sect. They do not oppress ordinary people as many players have guessed.
This is not because of how high the moral level of the monks is, but because the resources needed by the monks are almost all spiritual resources, which are difficult for ordinary people to contact for a long time, let alone collect and harvest. Even if they are used as fast-consumables, their output efficiency is touchingly low. Hundreds of ordinary people are not as good as a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, so the monks will not think of "oppressing the people" for resources.
Therefore, each sect protected the settlements of the common people, in addition to being used as a large sieve to select prospective monks with excellent aptitude, in order to collect incense, or to worship the immortal gods who had achieved enlightenment in their own sect, or to worship some immortal gods that they had trusted - this was the main reason why the sect forces actively protected the settlements of the common people.
Among them, the most important "incense" is not an either-or relationship.
That is to say, a commoner can worship many gods at the same time, and it does not mean that he cannot worship others if he worships one. The incense and vows he devotes to the gods he worships will not increase or decrease with the change of the number of gods he worships.
Therefore, even if the sects under the sect intend to set up their own forces, as long as the people under their rule still worship the original gods, it is just a title, and most sects do not care.
Oh, you ask why, since people can worship multiple gods, there is no such thing as a global alliance of gods for people to worship all of them?
How refreshing! The gods are not saints with absolutely perfect morals. You are not happy when you see that your new colleague has the same salary as you, an old employee who has worked for several years. How can a powerful god be calm when he sees that other gods enjoy the same incense and offerings as himself?
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are comparisons and fights. This principle is of course the same among gods!
Just as Fang Xianyu was thinking about how to maintain her friendship with Guangchengzong and how to shamelessly find an opportunity to set up her own business, several players who were secretly marked by her as Dragon Group accounts suddenly found her alias Baili Shuang.
"Big sister, we have developed a brand new formation, and its effect is similar to the sect formation recorded in the book. According to calculations, it can theoretically withstand an explosion attack with an equivalent of 10 tons, which is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a foundation-building great perfection or even an early golden elixir stage. These data are all calculated based on the information provided by Mr. Huang and some NPCs in Taiping Town. Although the endurance of this formation is slightly worse than that of a real sect formation, it does not require the consumption of spirit stones at all. It can maintain normal operation by simply relying on its own absorption and transformation of the surrounding spiritual energy..."
Hearing this, Fang Xianyu, who was a little worried about how to negotiate with Guangcheng Sect, suddenly brightened up.
As a sect leader, it seems like it’s no big deal to be a little thick-skinned!
