Chapter 241 Unnamed
Registering a guild can be done anywhere where the roots of the World Tree pass.
After dinner, Qi Si led Lin Chen away from the main trunk of the World Tree.
He walked through the buildings built by human players on the ruins, passed the temporary camp where people gathered, and walked for another half an hour until he could no longer see a single person on the desolate land. He stopped.
The land of Sunset Ruins is not easy to walk on. The uneven cracked ground is interspersed with bricks and stones, which is comparable to a cross-country hiking site.
Lin Chen followed Qi Si through mountains and rivers, and walked in a dusty manner. He almost stumbled and bumped into Qi Si's back several times.
At this moment, he stood still on a barely flat open space, panting and asking: "Brother Qi, why do we have to hide from people? I heard that after the guild is registered, it will be announced on the stone tablet, and everyone will know it then."
"But they won't know how our guild was established, how many members there are, and who they are." Qis squatted in front of a gully half a person's width, reaching out to fish out the golden roots lying in it.
He condensed the phantom of the [Scarlet Priest] card on his fingertips, covering the roots, and silently recited the four words "Register Guild" in his heart.
This is the simplest default process in the forum: first attract the attention of the World Tree through special items closely related to the weird game - such as props and identity cards, and then express your own demands to trigger the automatic reply preset by the game mechanism.
[Registering a guild requires paying 10,000 points]
The silver-white text refreshed, and a points payment progress bar appeared on the system interface.
——It is not uncommon for founders to share expenses and build a guild together, so Weird Game has designed a humanized fundraising mechanism. Players within a five-meter radius can see the fundraising progress bar and invest points into it.
It is said that there were several cases in the early days where the founders of other guilds threw points in the wrong place, and people who were just having fun threw points randomly. Fortunately, the list of guild members was still based on the contract, so there was no big trouble in the end.
Of course, it is best to find a deserted place to build a guild like Qis, which can directly avoid all potential troubles.
Qis threw 5,000 points into the fundraising bar, and the golden beam flowed, filling half of the long groove.
Lin Chen woke up from a dream and started to throw points to fill the remaining half of the groove.
[Points paid, enter the registration process]
The golden fluid in the groove scattered into light spots, weaving into the shape of a contract in front of the eyes, with hot gold text floating on the translucent thin bottom.
A feather pen floated around the contract, quite lively.
Qi Si turned his head to look at Lin Chen who was standing there stupidly: "You are the president, you fill it in."
"...Ah? I am the president?"
When Qi Si said "You are the president and I am the vice president" before, Lin Chen thought he had heard it wrong.
Until now Qi Si repeated it again, he knew that it was not an auditory hallucination.
The rules of the weird game simply and crudely set the guild as the president's property. The vice president is certainly a position recognized by the mechanism, but usually only has the right to make suggestions and management.
Although the rights and responsibilities are equal, there is a saying in the forum that "members fly bravely and the president takes the blame", but once the guild develops steadily, the president will be the direct beneficiary.
On the one hand, Lin Chen does not think that with Qi Si's character, he will make a big pot for him to take; on the other hand, he does not intend to forget his principles for the sake of profit and act recklessly by relying on the president's authority.
But what virtue and ability does he have to enjoy the greatest benefits in the guild registered with joint investment?
Qi Si said calmly: "According to the so-called convention, all guilds have the obligation to send people to participate in joint actions. As a newly established guild, we are being watched by countless eyes and there is no way to escape.
"If I am right, an old guild will soon contact us and ask us to send people to fulfill our responsibilities. The first task is likely to be not easy. On the one hand, it will serve as a warning to us, and on the other hand, it will also test our depth.
"For thirty-six years, there has been no reason for the president to handle tasks personally. If we set a precedent, we will appear to be manipulated and inferior, and we will also show our weakness in strength.
"In other words, if I am the president, when other guilds challenge our guild, you can only take charge alone."
Qisi lowered his eyes and sighed: "Lin Chen, do you think you have enough strength to deal with the endless variables and crises? "
This was a harsh remark, and it was the harshest thing Qi Si had said since they met in Rose Manor.
Lin Chen knew that this was not an exaggeration.
After the Frog Hospital dungeon, his ranking in the rookie list only climbed 37 places, to [48], and that was even with the identity card [Bird-beak Doctor].
His qualifications in all aspects were mediocre, his knowledge needed to be expanded, his intelligence and force were only at the level of ordinary people, and his ability was more auxiliary... Such a person was undoubtedly not good enough in this strange game where geniuses arose in large numbers.
If it weren't for Qi Si, he wouldn't even survive the first dungeon in the novice pool.
Although he didn't want to believe in the zero-sum game attribute of the jungle in the game world, what he had heard and seen in the past month would no longer foolishly regard those high-sounding old-fashioned guilds as good people as before.
Therefore, he could understand Qi Si's unsympathetic and serious attitude.
Deciding to establish a guild, getting involved in the competition and contest that had been cultivated for decades, and trying to stir up the solidified interest system would inevitably face pressure from all sides.
Every decision in the future must be made carefully, because if you are not careful, your body will be shattered.
Lin Chen whispered: "Brother Qi, you have always been helping me. I don't understand many things. What if I mess up?"
"Screwed up..." Qisi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then our president and vice-president will die together."
"Uh...huh?"
"So you can't screw up." Qisi suppressed his smile, his eyes sinking like a pool of water, "Not only that, you must try your best to do your best.
"The puppet master should have told you about the 'Gate', 'Tower' and 'Card'. Now that the 'Gate' and 'Tower' have been opened, chaos is about to break out, and order is in jeopardy. Under despair and fear, there are more People are willing to take risks and violate established rules.
"If you hold an identity card and don't have the protection of your own power, you will be like a child trying to make money. At that time, you will either be forced to join an existing guild and become a skeleton to fill the dead point; or you will be targeted by speculators and fall into endless trouble. hostility and targeting.
"You have gone through so many dungeons, and you should have a certain understanding of the gun game principles and the exclusivity of human groups. Those who have not obtained the identity card will definitely be happy to kill you even if they know that they cannot snatch the identity cards of other players. People who are suspected to have a higher probability of survival.
"In the weird game, if you don't become the sin itself, you will be swallowed up by the sins of others... There is not much time left for you."
Lin Chen nodded slowly.
If he followed Qis to register a guild before, he just agreed in a daze because of the atmosphere; now, he clearly understands the necessity and urgency of registering his own guild, and there is no way to retreat.
Even though it is still unknown what will happen next, even though the Ruins of the Sunset is still covered with a veil of peace and tranquility, even though there are still many doubts about the role of the identity card...
But the principles are the same.
When new players join an established guild, if they don't have any skills, they will definitely not receive as much attention as the old ones, and they will easily become discarded pawns in the general trend.
It is imperative to create a new guild, at least it will not be oppressed internally, and it can be bluffing externally, so that others cannot see the depth and dare not make random decisions.
Lin Chen stopped dawdling, reached out to take the deed paper and quill pen in the void, and looked at the first line.
"Guild name?"
Qisi said: "You decide."
He had actually thought about naming the guild something like "Scarlet" or something that could point to his divine name, but it was too straightforward and sounded like it was related to a certain identity card; secondly... it was too neutral. .
As a name-dropper, Ziss decided to leave this unimportant issue to the tool man.
"I decide?" Lin Chen thought hard, "'Hell Front'? 'Reverse Cross'? 'Central Continent Team'?"
Zeiss added: "Don't be too weird."
In the end, the two naming experts decided on the name of the guild as "Unnamed" after rejecting a bunch of strange names such as "Heaven and Earth Family Great Love Alliance", "Ziu Wangdao" and "Tarot Club".
Well, it's even weirder.
"Then...the name of the president."
"Don't write your real name," Ziss suggested. "Write an alias that is related to you."
Lin Chen, who had already written the word "Lin", glanced at the [Doctor Beak] card in the upper right corner of his sight, and wrote the word "Crow" after "Lin".
The mask held by Doctor Beak looks quite like a crow, so let’s just assume it’s a crow mask.
In the column of vice president, the name "Si Qi" was naturally filled in.
Since a lot of information has been exposed due to Chang Xu's live broadcast, it is better to make mistakes and contact other forces as "Si Qi".
Although the Weird Investigation Bureau and the closely related Jiuzhou Guild know that "Si Qi" is equal to "Qisi", they do not know the relationship between "Qi Wen", "Zhou Ke", "Cheng An" and "Si Qi", nor do they know the relationship between "Qi Wen", "Zhou Ke", "Cheng An" and "Si Qi". Know that "Ziss" has a side job besides being a taxidermist.
So, it's not a big problem.
"Brother Qi, it says here that you can designate a place in the weird game as a guild base, and you need to pay a rental fee of 1,000 points every week." Lin Chen pointed to a line of small words on the deed.
Qisi leaned over and asked Weird Game: "Is it necessary to have a base to register a guild?"
Weird game: [Yes, the base can be used as a place for guild members to meet and communicate, and it also undertakes important functions such as collective decision-making and recruiting new people, so it is indispensable]
Qisi took out the [Poseidon's Specially Approved Order] and [Poseidon's Scepter] from the item list, and asked: "As long as it's the realm in the weird game, right?"
【……Yes. 】
"The Frog Hospital is a copy of Weird Game and is essentially under my control. Can it be used as a guild base?"
【……OK. 】
"Well, let's take the Frog Hospital. I use my own land, so I don't need to pay rent anymore, right?"
【Yes. 】
Lin Chen stared at Qisi's operation in stunned silence, and he could hear the gnashing of teeth in the cold system sound.
The crumpled pass turned into a point of light and disappeared in Qisi's hand. There was a string of incomprehensible coordinates after the [Guild Location] column, and the four small words [Frog Hospital] were written next to it.
Lin Chen stuttered and asked: "Qi...Brother Qi, when did you take control of the Frog Hospital?"
"This is an unexpected surprise from the last dungeon." Qisi touched his chin and said without changing his expression, "My Poseidon Scepter was taken away by the dean for a while. During this period, he probably wanted to establish an anchor point and stabilize himself. existence, transferring control of the Frog Hospital to the Scepter.
"Later he shot himself in the foot and died in a ritual to extradite evil spirits. The previous operations were naturally used to make wedding clothes for others... Well, I was lucky, and I finally picked up the leak."
Lin Chen blinked and asked, "Is this Frog Hospital still considered a copy of the game?"
"It should be counted." Qisi raised his eyes to the sky, "Didn't the weird game just acquiesce that Frog Hospital belongs to the dungeon?"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "If this is true, then our guild will make a lot of money!
"Brother Qi, you may not know that many players will wait for the seven-day countdown to end and spend 5,000 points to designate a simple copy to enter. Guild members do not need to spend money to enter the guild base.
"That is to say, in the future, if members of our guild do not want to match unfamiliar dungeons, they can go to Frog Hospital every seven days and it will be treated as if they have entered the dungeon.
"Currently, there are only a few old guilds such as Jiuzhou and Tingfeng, which have dungeon guild bases under their control. They are also used as training grounds and ordinary members are not allowed to enter casually.
"As long as other players know that our guild has a copy of Frog Hospital as a base, they will never have to worry about recruiting new members!"
Qisi listened to Lin Chen quietly and looked at him with his head tilted: "Why do we need to recruit new members?"
Lin Chen was stunned: "Ah? Aren't we recruiting people?"
"How can you be sure that the other party is a loyal person and not a wanton person? How can you tell whether the other party has ulterior motives for joining our guild? And how can you ensure that the other party is not an undercover agent sent by other guilds, or will not inadvertently reveal our guild? The secret?”
Qisi asked three questions in a row and sighed: "I don't plan to force every player who joins the guild to sign a soul contract, but I don't feel comfortable handing over the future of the guild to strangers who don't know the foundation.
"Everyone is innocent, but he is guilty of having a treasure. You also said that only a few guilds have dungeons as guild bases. If other established guilds knew that a new guild of ours owns the territory of Frog Hospital, they might treat it with a normal heart and not covet it. ?
"At that time, they can say that we are colluding with Weird Games and betraying the interests of mankind to obtain the dungeon as a base; or they can directly say that we encountered an accident in the dungeon and have become Weird itself, and then stand on the moral high ground and annex our guild.
"After all, we are still too weak. The right to judge what is right and wrong always belongs to the strong, isn't it?"
Lin Chen was indoctrinated with a thick theory of black science. He clenched and opened his palms, and the surface was gradually covered with a thin layer of sweat.
When they were in "Rose Manor", Ziss also said some words to him that were not in line with public order and good customs, but in the end they had a deep friendship.
Now that he has suddenly revealed all his dirty laundry, it is probably because he has taken the position of president and needs to grow up quickly so as not to show his cowardice in the undercurrent of the struggle for interests.
Lin Chen knew that he could no longer cower in the ivory tower as he had done in the past.
People always have to grow up, either from school into society, disenchanted with purity and romance; or to recognize the truth of the world and embrace fear and the unknown.
He has to shoulder his responsibilities, learn to combine vertical and horizontal forces, and guard against open and hidden attacks; what he will bet on next is not only his fate, but also Chiss's...
Qisi looked into Lin Chen's eyes and said with a smile: "President Lin, draw the emblem."
The last column of the deed was printed with an outline in the shape of a coat of arms, leaving plenty of white space.
Lin Chen pondered for a long time, holding a quill and drawing a slanted cross on it, which looked like a twisted fork at first glance.
The deeds scattered into the void and disappeared.
Two blood-colored metal badges fell into the hands of the only two members of the guild respectively. The black cross on the surface was solemn and unknown.
At the same time, all players in Sunset Ruins heard the system announcement.
[Congratulations to player "Lin Crow" for successfully registering the "unnamed" guild]
Under the World Tree, in the last row of the guild's power list, the word "Unnamed" is clearly listed.
[2397, unnamed, president: Lin Yaowu, vice president: Si Qi] (End of this chapter)
