Chapter 1330: The RMB War

"Pooh!"

I snorted. "Did the committee drink when making this new China Guild Ranking or something? How on earth did a third-rate guild like Purgatory Mad Dragon make it to the Top 5, let alone be placed ahead of Purple Lily and Blazing Hot Lips? Is there anyone in that guild besides Little Piglet who’s even a first-rate player? Unbelievable…"

Murong Mingyue argued, "What they lack in quality, they make up for in quantity. Purple Lily and Blazing Hot Lips are strong, but can really they defeat all 5 million members of Purgatory Mad Dragon by themselves? No? That is why you can’t say that this ranking is unscientific. Their placement is deserved."

I curled my lips. "Scientific my ass, Ancient Sword could’ve taken out the entire Purgatory Mad Dragon with just 500k players. Moreover, Little Piglet is still a land-bound cavalryman, so he can’t fight against Little Gui, Chengfeng, Eve or me. We are the only ones who truly deserve our spot, muahaha…"

Murong Mingyue puffed up her chest and jabbed a disapproving finger at me, "Pooh, I’ve never seen such a shameless vice leader in my life! Heavenly King of Heavenblessed my ass!"

Me: "…"

I downed a glass of water to hide my embarrassment. "Oh right, I forgot to ask. Is there any new data on the Cities of Heaven? Do they provide additional buffs, and is there a way to increase the training speed of Heart of the Holy Mages?"

He Yi pouted. "There is, but it’s a total scam…"

"I see. And how are we getting scammed exactly? Do we have to make a virgin sacrifice, or…?"

He Yi snorted. "Players can now contribute Luck to the guild to be converted into Heavenly Points. 1 Luck is worth 10 Heavenly Points. 1 Heavenly Point increases the number of available Heart of the Holy Mages by 1. In summary, 1 Luck is equal to 10 mages with Heart of the Holy Mages."

"Oh for fuck’s sake…" I cursed in a dumbfounded voice while a beautiful waitress served the century eggs we ordered.

"Most players would consider themselves lucky to have 1 to 3 Luck, and you’re telling me that 1 Luck can only be exchanged for 10 Heart of the Holy Mages? It really is a scam…"

Sitting next to me, Lian Xin tilted her head and shot me a cheeky smile. "Don’t you have 111 Luck right now, big brother Lu Chen? Wanna give it all up for the cause? That’ll give us 1110 mages with Heart of the Holy Mages instantly…"

My mouth twitched. "You may as well kill me. It’s thanks to this 111 Luck that I managed to climb to where I am now. I’m not even exaggerating when I say I’m nothing without my Luck stat. It will be like restarting from zero, and who the hell wants to restart from zero if they don’t have to?"

"Seriously though…"

Murong Mingyue spoke up while leaning against her chair and crossing her arms in front of her breasts. I wasn’t sure if she was doing it on purpose, but her huge breasts looked like they were about to jump out of her shirt. She shot me an uncaring glance before continuing, "I do suggest that you contribute some Luck to the guild. You are the vice leader. What will the others think if even you won’t contribute for the greater good? Since you have 111 Luck, I would suggest that you contribute 11 and keep the rest. It shouldn’t affect your overall strength, and you’ll have the perfect pretext to coax your experts and players to do the same thing. The sooner we work together, the faster we’ll create the invincible magic army of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!"

I sucked in a deep breath before nodding. "Yes, you’re right. I shouldn’t be too selfish. Very well, I will contribute 11 Luck as you say, sis. Of course, the rest of you shouldn’t contribute more than 3 Luck. Luck impacts a ridiculous amount of attributes such as the drop rate, attack calculations and many more. Your total Luck is much lower than mine, so don’t go overboard."

He Yi nodded smilingly. "I know. I have 47 Luck, so I’ll contribute 2 Luck and keep it at 45."

An idea entered my mind. "How about this: when we speak to our guild members later, we’ll tell them that every Luck they contribute is worth 100k guild contribution points. Do you guys think it’s a good enough incentive?"

Lian Xin clapped her hands together. "Yes, that’s a great idea! We’ll implement it immediately after we get back!"

Murong Mingyue nodded. "Yes, that will work!"

I hesitated. "Sis…"

"Yes?"

"Did you realize that your breasts have been growing bigger and bigger?"

"Really? Would you like to cop a feel then?"

"Let’s talk about it after we get back…"

"…"

……

It was past 10 pm by the time we returned to the workshop, the perfect time to return to the game!

Swhoosh!

The moment I appeared in Dark Moon City, I immediately received a system message: "Good day, player. You are the vice leader of your guild, so you are granted the right to teleport to your belonging City of Heaven, Silver City, immediately!"

Wonderful! I clicked the teleport button and teleported right away. Silver City was located at the borders of Bloody Shield Domain, which was also the border between friendly human factions along with their allies, and the Purgatory’s Night Legion. Those who traveled west would be venturing deeper into Bloody Shield Domain where high-level undead resided. It was a place overflowing with danger and killing, wealth and divine arms.

After I entered the territory hall of Silver City, I saw that Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, Gui Guzi, Beiming Xue and the rest of the executives were all present. He Yi had notified them beforehand to come here to attend a temporary meeting.

The Chill of the Nine Provinces hanging snugly behind my back, I walked over to the throne and leaned against a silver pillar. Then, I shot everyone a smile and asked, "I’m sure you’ve already heard that Luck can be exchanged for Heavenly Points, so I’m just going to get straight to the point: how much Luck will you be contributing to the guild, brothers and sisters?"

Gui Guzi curled his lips. "This is such a scam, dammit. They want the one thing we lack the most…"

Li Chengfeng laughed. "Let’s see what the vice leader contributes first, shall we? Lu Chen, you have the highest Luck in the entire world. How much will you be contributing to the cause?"

I smiled. "I will be contributing 11 Luck!"

Xu Yang exclaimed in astonishment, "You’re not joking, are you? 11 Luck is a lot!"

I nodded. "I know, but it’s the decision I’ve arrived at after discussing it with Eve and sis. I’ll still have 100 Luck after, so my power, drop rate and more are still going to be top-tier. Please don’t follow my example, however. The guild still needs you to fight at the frontlines, so please don’t sacrifice your Luck to the detriment of your own strength!"

Li Chengfeng slapped his chest and declared smilingly, "I’ll contribute 4 Luck then. It’s the maximum I can offer!"

Gui Guzi said, "I’ll contribute 3…"

Xu Yang said, "I only have 7 Luck, so I’m only going to contribute 1. Please don’t say that I’m stingy…"

I laughed. "Of course not! In fact, you shouldn’t contribute more than 10% of your total Luck, or it’ll definitely affect your strength. Oh, one more thing. 1 Luck is worth 100000 guild contribution points. Now, go!"

After that, a total of 1.1 million guild contribution points entered my figurative pockets as I submitted my Luck to Silver City. Everyone else did the same thing. There was a contribution ranking that showed exactly how much Luck everyone had contributed—

-

Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, 11 Luck.

-

High Fighting Spirits, 9 Luck.

-

Legendary Brave, 4 Luck.

-

Gui Guzi, 3 Luck.

-

Lian Xing, 3 Luck.

-

Beiming Xue, 3 Luck.

-

From Water, 2 Luck.

-

Heaven’s Rain, 2 Luck.

-

Moonlight Stone, 2 Luck.

-

Murong Mingyue, 2 Luck.

Total Guild Luck: 1109

……

A shudder ran down my spine when I saw who was sitting at second place on the contribution ranking. I turned to High Fighting Spirits and questioned, "Dude, what the fuck! Why did you contribute so much Luck? You’re going to cripple yourself like this!"

A smiling High Fighting Spirits scratched his head as he replied, "I only had 9 Luck, and I have no idea what it was even doing for me. In that case, I may as well donate it all and create a couple more Heart of the Holy Mages for the guild…"

I fell silent for a moment. High Fighting Spirits might be simple and reckless, but he was the kind of brother anyone would want to have. He didn’t care about personal loss at all.

Finally, I said, "Again, I recommend that you don’t donate more than 10% of your total Luck because this stat is very important for top-tier players, but I won’t encourage or discourage anyone from doing what they think is best."

He Yi then said, "We’ve gathered a total of 1109 Luck, or 11090 Heavenly Points, in less than an hour. That’s a lot. It should be even higher in a couple of hours. I think I’m going to make a guild announcement and encourage everyone to donate more…"

"Okay. Thanks for your hard work, Eve~"

And so we waited at the territory hall while Lian Xin, Moonlight Stone and Yu Tong worked together to create a mage ranking for the guild. The main guild currently had a max player capacity of 200000, and nearly 50000 of them were mages. If we could give them all Heart of the Holy Mages, they would definitely become the nightmare of countless cavalries. Not even Warsky Alliance’s Gold Cavalry might possess the durability to break through our holy mage legion’s firepower. Deadly spells like God Devil Breaks, Galaxy Storms and more would hurt like never before!

……

Four hours passed by in the blink of an eye, and practically everyone who could contribute any Luck at all had contributed to the cause. Our total Luck had reached 2012—which equaled to 20120 mages with Heart of the Holy Mages—but it wasn’t even enough to meet half of our demand.

I looked at He Yi and suggested, "Do you think we can purchase Luck from outsiders, Eve? How does 1000 RMB per Luck sound?"

He Yi nodded. "It can work!"

However, Chaos Moon shot down the idea. "It’s too late, you two. Warsky Alliance has been paying 15k to anyone willing to part with 1 Luck, and he’s been doing that for a while now…"

I exclaimed in astonishment, "Heavens, has Warsky gone crazy? Is one Luck really worth 15k RMB? Since when did this become an economic war?"

Chaos Moon replied, "What are you talking about? It was an economic war from the start. Gold City and Silver City’s buffs are permanent, so none of the money spent on these buffs will be wasted. So, are we going to buy Luck from other players or not? May I remind you that Luck is a finite resource, and there is only so much Luck to go around even if we take the playerbase of the entire Sky City into consideration. If we miss this opportunity, we won’t come by it again."

Li Chengfeng raised a hand. "Calm down, you three. The situation isn’t as dire as you think. Our foundation is better than Warsky Alliance’s, so we managed to gather over 2000 Luck from our guild alone. According to my spies, Warsky Alliance is only sitting at 700+ total Luck right now, meaning that we have almost three times their Luck. Even with their RMB tactic, they may not be able to accrue more Luck than us when all is said and done…"

I nodded. "That’s a good point. In that case, let’s set the price at 10k RMB. There’s no need to overdraw ourselves for that bit of extra Luck…"

He Yi smiled. "Okay then. I’m going to mobilize our friends and allies and snatch that Luck from Warsky Alliance now. We can’t always rely on the Dragonlight Cavalry to carry the guild to victory, so we’re going to develop as many Holy Mages as possible to counter the Gold Cavalry!"historical
