Chapter 680: Chapter 53 Operation Code - Pioneer Day_2

Although the villagers of Liushudi today are not the same as those from years ago, the seas may change and the fields may shift, yet human kindness remains unaltered. If Liushudi can be rebuilt and thrive once more, wouldn’t it prove that the former prosperity of the Human Clan can be revived in this world? This event could serve as an auspicious omen for all to see and become a timeless tale of greatness, wouldn’t it be wonderful?

"Our Dragon Soaring Country follows the King’s Way and the righteous path; it is appropriate to start from this matter."

Finally, the expression of the Lord Governor changed, "What a profound ’seas may change, fields may shift, yet human kindness remains unaltered.’ Young brother, your words make sense. This land of King’s Way should be established upon the King’s Way. If we can’t even honor a simple IOU, how can we expect the human path’s prosperous era to reemerge in the world?

Treasury officer—convert this banknote for him."

"As you command, my Lord."

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for making this possible." Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief; the money was finally within reach.

"There’s no need for thanks. Nowadays, the human path is in decline. It’s time for new nations like yours to rise. If Dragon Soaring Country has any needs in the future, you can speak to me directly, and I may be able to provide some assistance."

"Certainly, certainly."

Once Xiao Jie left the government office, he was immediately surrounded by his team members.

"How did it go, leader?"

"What did the Lord Governor say?"

"Heh, would there be any issue with me handling it? It’s settled. Those who want to exchange for silver, come and get your money."

"Oh yeah!"

"Leader is mighty!"

The number of people coming to collect silver was quite large; most of them were new players, unsure of what the future holds. It seemed wise to them to take what they could now—40 points for 40 taels of silver, which was a substantial sum.

Such mentality was no different from Xiao Jie’s when he first joined, and soon more than a dozen people had exchanged for silver.

However, many decided to save up their points. Earning 40 points a day meant that by saving up for a while, they could afford Top-Grade Equipment or a Cultivation Technique for fun.

Besides, Dragon Soaring Country as a massive force and the second guild to establish a nation, seemed reliable and suitable for long-term development.

In the end, out of the initial one thousand taels of silver, only a little over 500 taels were exchanged. After Xiao Jie finished handling the matter at hand, there were still hundreds of taels left. He did not hand it over to Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, as Hidden Dragon Do Not Use managed the guild’s support materials and funds.

What he had was now a small treasury for the Second Team, which he naturally kept to himself.

Just after dispersing the people who had come to collect money, messages from several Sub-Branch Leaders appeared in the QQ group.

Dragon Control: Feng, that wasn’t very upright of you, keeping such good opportunities of pioneering new territories only to your old friends. You should consider us too.

Bhahamut: Yeah, Feng, you’ve lured away the Master of Magic from Sanshan Town, and now you’re not thinking of us for good opportunities; this is hardly upright.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Don’t worry, we’re planning on taking over the entire Fengyin State for Dragon Soaring Country; sooner or later, your turn will come. Nonetheless, since this is a guild matter, it should naturally be approached as a guild. How about this: tomorrow, all the Sub-Branches gather at Luoyang Town, and we’ll fill the public opinion value of Luoyang Plain in one go.

Zilong Unrivaled: I think it’s a good idea!

Dragon Control: Exactly, that’s how it should be done. Strength in numbers!

Strength in numbers is indeed great and also safer. Just today, more than seventy people could sweep through four villages. If the troops from the Six Towns gather, an army of more than three hundred people in Luoyang Plain could just walk horizontally across and sweep everything in their path.

Still, Xiao Jie didn’t let it get to his head. Despite Luoyang Plain being a low-risk area, it was not without threats, such as today’s Tree God, which was still quite dangerous.

Other smaller Elite Monsters presented certain threats as well. If it wasn’t for him leading a group of skilled players providing solid support, the battles would have been troublesome.

Dying a few times would be quite normal.

If the whole guild were to act together tomorrow, comprehensive preparations must be made.

——————

Xiao Jie stayed up late that night, repeatedly studying the intelligence reports of the entire Fengyin State—village strongholds, monster lairs, all the common tasks that could increase public opinion value; he sorted through them all.

Luckily, having changed and no longer being an ordinary human, staying up all night no matter how much still caused him no trace of tiredness.

After several hours of effort, he finally put together a detailed plan.

On the second day, troops from the Six Towns flocked to Luoyang Town to assemble. It was not until after 9 a.m. that the assembly was completed.

The news of yesterday’s pioneering action by the Luoyang Branch and the Second Team’s main force had already spread.

Especially the gains of everyone involved, which certainly attracted many envious glances.

Although Xiao Jie said that everyone would get their turn sooner or later, who knows how long that would take. Why should they, from the same guild, have the Second Team feast on meat while the Luoyang Branch gnaws on bones, with them not even able to sip the broth.

They are not incapable of doing it themselves; the problem is the lack of core experts to hold the fort. If they encounter an existence on the level of the Willow Tree God, it might result in a heap of casualties.

Although players are eager for profits, their lives are equally important.

Looking at the large mass of players below, Xiao Jie felt an immense sense of pride. With such a military force, conquering Fengyin State would be no challenge at all.

It’s just about raising public opinion, which is quite simple.

"It seems everyone is full of passion for the kingdom-building and pioneering work. Good. Since everyone is so eager to participate, as the leader, I can’t disappoint everyone’s enthusiasm.

Yesterday, I prepared an action plan, and everyone can follow this plan.

Firstly, establish two assault teams whose tasks are to break through monster nests, strongholds, and eliminate particularly dangerous bosses.

Two Peacekeeping Groups whose tasks are to recruit refugees after villages are retaken.

Three General Affairs Teams—I’ve studied and found that there are many tasks in this game that can increase public opinion value, such as repairing roads, fortifications, transporting materials, helping civilians with their goods, fixing docks, and so on.

All of these tasks can be handled by players in the General Affairs Team.

Alright, next up, grouping...

Xiao Jie had no choice but to split the Second Team, as establishing the assault team demands a sound number of experts to prevent mishaps.

Luckily, there are still some experts among the members of the Six Towns subsidiaries, such as the six Sub-Branch Leaders... Combined with forty people from the Second Team and selecting some over Level 20, two assault team frameworks can be set up.

Yesterday’s pioneering action showed that the Second Team’s power in conquering the small strongholds of Luoyang Town was actually quite excessive.

Forming into two teams is also acceptable.

As for the General Affairs Team, there are no strict requirements on strength—most tasks are miscellaneous activities, at most encountering an Elite Monster or something like that, which is basically not difficult.

"Brother Hidden Dragon, I will lead Assault Team One, and you will lead Assault Team Two. Let’s work together and strive to retake the remaining eight villages within a day."

"Okay, that shouldn’t be a problem."

After this period of experience, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use had regained some of his former ambition.

"The Peacekeeping Group will follow the action of the assault team, the General Affairs Team has freedom of movement. I have marked the tasks that can increase public opinion value on the map, just follow the map to assign tasks.

I’ve calculated, as long as all of the villages on the map are retaken and tasks are completed, reaching 100% public opinion value is basically assured.

Well then, any questions?"

"Uh, how are the scores calculated?"

"It’s simple. Everyone participating in the action today must record, capturing their gameplay process. After the action ends, send the recordings to me for a unified assessment.

Team leaders can distribute rewards based on the team members’ performances. If a member is dissatisfied with the distribution, they can submit their gameplay recording for an appeal.

If a team leader arbitrarily allocates points, members can report it, and if the report is valid, the leader will receive a deduction penalty, while the members will receive score rewards..."

Xiao Jie explained the detailed rules to everyone. Having formed many teams in his gaming history, he was well aware of the various potential issues and loopholes, and thus his arrangement of rules was tight and foolproof.

Of course, there are still problems. With so many people acting together, the rewards generated would be massive, and there must be enough rewards to fulfill the points.

Luckily, if the action is successful, the entire Luoyang Plain would become the territory of Dragon Soaring Country, and countless benefits would naturally be generated, with the rewards eventually being fulfilled.

"If there are no issues, then let’s begin. Today, we will conquer the Luoyang Plain—codename: Pioneering Day!"

(I need to spend the New Year’s Eve with my parents, so I’m posting this Chapter early. Wishing everyone a happy New Year’s Eve.)
