Xia Yao opened the gift package as soon as she got it, and found 50,000 guild funds, a private teleportation array, and an extremely detailed business map of the Perth continent.
This map is different from the maps players usually see. Ordinary maps have very few annotations, generally including general information such as the area name, whether there are wild monsters, ore symbols, etc., while the commercial map given by the King's Gift Pack provides more detailed annotations on the natural factors, socio-economic factors and technological factors of different towns.
Taking socioeconomic factors as an example, Xia Yao pressed the filter button on the map and chose to view only that factor. The mainland map immediately displayed densely packed information related to it, such as urban population, ethnicity, cultural preferences, business channels, and even land purchase prices.
It's like a walking encyclopedia of the mainland.
Xia Yao thought about it, added the three factors together, and her eyes turned slightly, finally settling on two of the towns.
The locational advantages displayed by these two cities are the most advanced. If she wants to buy a base for the guild, she will definitely give priority to choosing between these two, which will also be beneficial to the future development of the guild.
However... the most important thing for her right now is to hold a meeting with everyone, come up with a simple version of the guild system, and then set the standards for future recruitment, so that her guild's backend won't keep making constant ding-ding-ding sounds, which will make her head explode.
Yin Yao (President): Everyone, let's go back to the guild.
After sending the message in the guild, she ran to a shop on West Street.
The Sword and the Rose, No. 105.
That's what was written on the small metal sign at the door of the shop.
This was a temporary location arranged by the system for each guild. Before the guilds officially purchased a base, they could all settle here. They were located on both sides of the street according to their registration numbers, with odd-numbered guilds on the east side and even-numbered guilds on the west side. Their gates faced each other, echoing each other from a distance, and looked neat and uniform.
As the latest registered guild, Sword and Rose had already lined up on the inner side of the street. Xia Yao had received many stares from players coming from the gates on both sides on her way here.
But she just faced their gaze calmly, pushed open the wooden door of No. 105 and walked in.
Then mathematics, physics, chemistry, Wushan Leng and others came one after another.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Bupa exclaimed, "This guild headquarters is too small!"
It’s not even as big as her 200-square-meter house.
"That's right. It's such a small area that it will be full if we put a few rooms in it." Wu Shanleng looked around and nodded.
Sandaofo and Erdaoliu exchanged a glance. The former cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Actually, this isn't a formal guild base. It's just a small place the system temporarily arranged for everyone."
Zhang Bu'er glared: "What do you mean? We have to spend our own money to buy the land?"
Three Buddhas: "Exactly."
"How much does that official base cost?" Zhang Bu's experience with games was limited, so he had no idea what was going on.
Just as Sandao Buddha was about to explain, Xia Yao spoke before him: "It depends on the location. Land in a good location with future development prospects can be 4 to 5 times more expensive than ordinary land."
This is what she saw from the business map.
Several people were stunned when they heard this: "Is the gap so huge?!"
"It's not bad, it's only four or five times." Xia Yao was very calm. "It's still early days. Many towns outside the Perth Empire haven't developed yet, so the price difference is reasonable. When some towns' economies take off in the future, the difference in land purchases will be huge."
Zhang Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Then shouldn't we buy the base as soon as possible?"
This way you don’t have to worry about not being able to afford it in the future.
Xia Yao looked at her with a smile, then looked at everyone one by one: "Yes, you are right."
"So, sister, what are your intentions?" Zhang Bupa looked at her curiously.
Xia Yao: "Poseidon City, or Demeter City."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bupa, Wushan Leng and others opened the world map and began to check.
"Hiss, sister, these two cities look pretty ordinary," Wu Shanleng scratched his head, not quite understanding. "Poseidon is in the northeast, where the climate is terrible. It snows for over three months a year, and it's by the sea. If there's a tsunami or something, the guild and everyone would be finished. Demeter City is okay, it's inland, but... it's a northwestern city, the land resources are not good, right? It might not attract players in the future."
Don't underestimate Wu Shan Leng's youth and his sometimes rambling remarks, but today he offered a coherent and logical analysis. Everyone was impressed by his youth.
Wushan Leng himself also felt that everything he said made sense.
However, Xia Yao smiled and shook her head. "What you said makes sense, but Poseidon has two huge advantages that other towns can't match—ores and medicinal herbs. Let's talk about ores first. Although the two major mining maps currently known, Quint Mountain and Hughes Highlands, are both in the southwest, future silver mines, gold mines, mithril mines, etc. will only be found outside of Poseidon City. Secondly, medicinal herbs."
Having said that, Xia Yao deliberately stopped and looked at the Three Buddhas.
The latter was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized and blurted out: "Oh, I know! Are these rare plants only found outside Poseidon City?"
He hasn't become a disciple of a pharmacist yet, but he has collected a lot of medicinal herbs himself and knows a little more about this than others.
Xia Yao smiled faintly: "Yes, and no. Generally speaking, rare medicinal herbs can be found in many places, but there are more of them outside Poseidon City. If we are stationed there in the future, collecting herbs will be much more efficient and we won't have to compete with others."
Although Xia Yao believed that those people could not snatch it away from them, she decided to avoid taking action if possible and try to remove the red name on her head as soon as possible.
Then he explained the city of Demeter to everyone.
"Demeter City is still small, with a total population of less than 500, but it also has its own unique advantages—future expansion of the town's area and business opportunities. Regarding the first point, aside from its northern location, Demeter City's other three directions are quite vast, making it very conducive to future expansion. Regarding the second point about business, Demeter City borders another continent to the west. As far as I know, that continent isn't open to the public yet, but I believe it will be officially opened in the future. If that happens, anyone who wants to go there will inevitably pass through Demeter City. Increased traffic in the city will naturally facilitate economic and trade development."
In fact, there are many points about these two cities that Xia Yao has not mentioned. She summarized them one by one after looking at the factors in the business landscape.
But there is no need to explain it in too much detail now. They won't be able to remember it if I explain too much. After they move there and settle down, they will naturally understand the advantages she mentioned.
In short, even with a brief explanation, the group of people's admiration for Xia Yao was once again beyond words.
"Sister, you are so amazing. How come you know everything?" Zhang Bu'bu rushed over with starry eyes, hugged Xia Yao's arm and started to act coquettishly.
"The boss is the boss. He is always one step ahead of us in everything he does." Huang Cheng gave a thumbs up.
Xia Yao smiled and changed the subject: "Alright, I'll tell you all about the progress of purchasing the base later. The most urgent thing is to finalize the first draft of the guild rules and recruit people. Without rules, there will be no order. As more and more people join the guild in the future, we need to create a good and orderly guild environment. What do you think?"
They never thought that they would have the opportunity to participate in the construction of the guild one day, and to follow the big boss. Everyone was extremely excited and raised their hands to express their opinions.
After discussing for more than an hour, the initial version of the rules was finally drafted. Zhang Bupa hung it on the display board at the entrance. The display board was connected to the guild panel of the player port, and everyone could click on the guild panel to view it.
Finally, regarding recruiting, everyone raised their hands and agreed that the players they recruited didn't have to be amazing, but their character had to be good! Otherwise, it would make the guild a mess and be really frustrating.
Xia Yao: "Well, I agree with this."
She had also experienced the open and covert struggles of the guild. Although she disdained to get involved in it from the bottom of her heart, when one was in a high position, many things were always hard to guard against, including when she was with Edmund.
Now that the Sword and the Rose were created by her own hands, she certainly would not let this place become another battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.
So after some thought, he added a sentence to the blank recruitment rules: "All applicants must undergo a martial arts assessment by the administrator. Only those who pass the assessment can join."
"A martial arts competition?" Everyone was surprised. "How will it be conducted? What are the assessment criteria?"
"Well, you'll know later." Xia Yao smiled without saying anything, and at the same time transferred the management authority of recruiting to Zhang Bupa.
That day, Zhang was not afraid of being assigned to the "Little White" position, and he never complained to her about his grievance afterwards. Xia Yao saw it and thought that such a person was tough and principled, and was very suitable for a position where one had the final say.
Zhang Bupa happily accepted the permission, but before he could even hold on for 3 seconds, he was flooded with membership applications from the backend.
"Sister..." She looked at Xia Yao pitifully, but could only get a kind and commendable smile from her.
Zhang Bu Bu sighed and looked up to the sky. Never mind. Now that the burden had fallen on her shoulders, she must live up to her sister's appreciation and never let her down! (clenched fist.jpg)
Except for Zhang Bupa, no one else has been assigned management authority for the time being, and the position of vice president is temporarily vacant.
But no one minded, because they all knew their own abilities. To be honest, they were still a little short of being managers.
But Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry were bold enough to recommend themselves in front of everyone: "President, I want to compete for the position of Vice President."
Xia Yao raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me your reasons."
Upon hearing this, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry straightened up and became more serious. "I believe the Vice President needs to possess a certain level of strength to convince everyone. I think my combat ability is acceptable, currently ranking second or third in the Sword and Rose. President, you have witnessed my operation before, and while there are certainly flaws, I think it should still be acceptable to you. In summary, I hope you will consider me."
Convincing others with strength is indeed a good reason.
Xia Yao closed her eyes, thinking, then slowly opened them: "Well, your overall combat power is indeed good."
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry looked delighted.
"But," Xia Yao immediately changed her tune, freezing his joy. "I've said before that my principles for employing people are never based on absolute strength or weakness. To convince people, there are many other factors besides combat power, level, and operation skills.
Everyone blinked and held their breath, waiting for her to explain further.
However, Xia Yao stopped there and had no intention of continuing.
"Anyway, the position of vice president is vacant for now," she said calmly, glancing at the lost expressions of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. "Zhang Bu'er, Huang Cheng, you two come with me, and everyone else, please disperse."
Zhang Bu Bu exclaimed, feeling sorry for her boyfriend, and hurriedly followed.
Huang Cheng was also confused. He didn't even have a position, so why was he specifically named Cue by the president?
"President, is there anything I can do for you?" he asked.
"Yes, the arena is recruiting people."
Both of them:?! What, a ring?!
Is this the arena where Yuan Qinglan was beaten to pieces this morning?
