"The main city has been merged; this is a big event."
Before reaching level 30 and the Foundation Establishment realm, players can only stay in level 5 main cities.
Originally, players were distributed across 10 level 5 main cities.
Relatively speaking, the wilderness resources in each main city are quite abundant. Apart from some players with special hobbies who like to engage in malicious PvP, and guilds fighting over bosses, the conflicts are mostly small-scale and relatively peaceful.
Now that the main cities have been merged, all players will gather in one main city before they reach level 30.
Even if the map expands tenfold, more and larger conflicts will inevitably erupt in the wild.
"And this guild territory battle is practically a large-scale private instance."
"Although the system doesn't provide much information about this guild territory competition, the only information revealed is a 50% bonus to experience and a 30% bonus to drop rate."
"Whoever occupies this guild's territory will have a significant advantage in terms of level and equipment when their guild members challenge this private instance. Most importantly, they can avoid the trouble caused by open-world PvP after the main city is merged."
"And then there's Boss Cao himself. He established his first guild and leveled up three levels immediately. That's incredibly awesome."
Wang Ming opened the ranking leaderboard.

...
The top ten on the level rankings remained largely unchanged, except for Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms period, who reached level 31; the levels of the others were very close.
Wang Ming's ranking also entered the top twenty.
"Level 31, Boss Cao can now advance to the second job advancement. Tsk tsk tsk, he leveled up 3 times in one go, putting him far ahead of everyone else."
"According to the conventions of the Yuan Domain, the first person to create a guild was rewarded with a personal level of 3, so the second and third people should also receive level rewards."
"Hehe, the guild territory battle is open to guild members only. Plus, there are level rewards for creating a guild. So, the second guild creation token I have might be worth even more."
"Oh right, I've also sold the hidden class scrolls, Frost Archer and Frost Lord, and I've withdrawn the gold coins as well."
"System notification: The item you listed - Hidden Class Scroll Frost Archer - has been sold. After deducting the transaction fee of 800 gold coins, you have received 7200 gold coins."
"System notification: The item you listed - Hidden Class Scroll Frost Lord - has been sold. After deducting the transaction fee of 650 gold coins, you have received 5850 gold coins."
"System notification: Congratulations on ranking first on the wealth leaderboard and earning the title of 'Richest Man in the World'."
"To be ranked number one on the wealth list is truly unexpected."
Wang Ming opened the title list and found "Wealthiest in the World".
Wealthiest in the World (pink)
Grade: Top Grade
Effect: When you kill monsters and earn coins, you will receive an additional 500% of the coins.
...
"Top-tier title, five times the extra coins, that's really extravagant." Wang Ming looked at the title and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This title is a powerful tool for farming gold and making money, with an extra 5 times the earnings, which, combined with the base earnings, makes a total of 6 times the earnings.
If you get 1 gold coin, you can get 6 gold coins, which is quite powerful.
But then another problem arises: "Wealthiest in the World" is a title that only the player ranked first in the entire server's wealth rankings can obtain.
But which player, who's incredibly wealthy, would actually use that title to grind for gold...?
"The system is about to update, so let's wait until the system update before putting the second guild creation token on the market." Wang Ming then logged out of the game.
...
"Ming'er, come down."
"Hmm, the game has been updated. Mom, isn't it the weekend? Why isn't Dad home?"
“Your dad had some business at the company, so he went there. Perfect timing, Ming’er, I learned a new dish, why don’t you try making it for me?” Lin Muyu said as she brought it over.
Looking at the charred remains in front of him, Wang Ming looked utterly dejected. "Mom, this isn't necessary. Although the meat looks delicious, I'm not hungry at all and can't eat any."
"By the way, Mom, I just transferred 50 million to you. If you want to eat anything good, ask Dad to take you out to eat. Don't cook for yourself."
"Ah, why are you transferring so much money to me?"
"Hehe, didn't I say before that I would take care of the household expenses? Well, I've made quite a bit of money in the game recently, so I'm giving it to you."
"Alright, that's enough. I'm going to play games." With that, Wang Ming fled the living room.
"Hey, kid, slow down."
Lin Muyu looked at Wang Ming's doting eyes, then picked up a piece of charcoal with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and immediately spat it out.
"How did it turn out like this? It tastes terrible, but Gang ate it with great relish today."
"Also, this is fish, not meat." Lin Muyu rolled her eyes. "Wait, did Brother Gang suddenly go to the company today because of this plate of fish...?"
Half an hour passed quickly, the game had finished updating, and Wang Ming entered the game.
"System prompt: Welcome to Metaverse. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience."
"System notification: The level 5 main city has been successfully merged. The new main city is now named Crimson Sky City. Your original Crimson Moon City effect: the 10-point increase in all attributes has been canceled. You have now gained the Crimson Sky City buff: a 10% increase in movement speed, attack speed, and casting speed."
"System notification: The Guild Territory Conquest Tournament has begun. You can choose to create a guild or join a guild to participate in the Guild Territory Conquest Tournament."
Wang Ming was no longer in the wilderness, but had returned to Chixiao City. Looking at the dense crowd of players in front of him, Wang Ming immediately opened the world map.
The shape of the world map resembles a winding road.
The 10 main cities where Wang Ming originally was located were situated at the starting point of this road, occupying the area within the starting point range. The advanced maps were shrouded in black fog and were not unlocked.
At this point, of the 10 main cities originally marked on the map, only one remained – Chixiao City.
At this moment, Chixiao City is located in the center of the initial position on the map, while the other main cities have disappeared.
"The area of Crimson Cloud City has expanded dozens of times compared to before, and the general stores, weapon shops, and other shops inside are also several times larger than before. Apart from that, the layout of the city is the same as that of the previous Scarlet Moon City."
"It seems that only the city has become larger, and nothing else has changed."
"Hehe, the update is complete, and now the second guild creation token can be put on sale."
