Upon hearing this, Chen Hui couldn't help but be taken aback, as he discerned some underlying implications.
Upon further reflection, it became clear! The current situation had developed to such a point that it could not simply be summarized as a mere "bet."
Mist and Rain Commerce, as the first Chamber registered and established in the Zero Era's Server-wide landscape, had Liu Yuhan's slap land squarely on Zeng Jian's heart. Coupled with the initial clash in the Black Magic Forest, followed by events in Dawn Forest... a series of suppression actions had all ended in failure.
Although the King's Guild could not yet compare to the War God Hall, it was still considered a mid-tier large Guild, capable of rallying thirty to fifty thousand members. However, this massive team seemed somewhat ineffective at this moment, like fists striking against cotton.
Because people simply would not confront him head-on...
Even though Mist of Time had now advanced to a Guild, it still had not recruited combat-oriented players; instead, it continued to expand its life professions. Once Mist and Rain Commerce officially commenced operations, it was likely that half or even more of the economic lifeblood in this Zero Era would be tightly grasped.
"Have you really made up your mind?" Chen Hui let out a sigh of relief, despite feeling quite conflicted inside.
Zeng Jian closed his eyes and solemnly nodded. Taking a deep breath, he said, "No matter how much it costs, I must obtain this first Guild Token."
"Alright then!"
Chen Hui raised his glass and said earnestly, "As long as this Guild Token doesn't fall into the hands of our opponents, I will definitely help you this time. After all, we are in the same boat!"
"I'll be counting on you then, Brother Chen."
Zeng Jian smiled slightly, as if finally releasing a heavy burden from his heart. He filled his glass and declared, "For our tomorrow, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Chen Hui chuckled softly. "Then I wish Brother Zeng great success." He clinked glasses with him but felt a twinge of discomfort deep down.
After all was said and done, it still revolved around that Guild Token. Although he was willing to let Zeng Jian have it, there was still a hint of reluctance at his core. Yet given their cooperative relationship... it was better for the Guild Token to fall into Zeng Jian's hands than into those of any opponent.
In contrast, his old rival Divine Silence Dust Fate maintained a much calmer mindset.
Just three words: not getting involved...
Indeed, it was that simple. For this clearly murky Guild Token auction, Divine Silence Dust Fate calmly weighed the pros and cons and made a decision that, while significant to the overall situation, could not dictate its outcome in the least amount of time possible.
The reason is quite simple: it is beyond their capabilities, and that is all there is to it!
Of course, the so-called inability here does not refer to a lack of economic strength, but rather to the fact that no current Guild possesses the combat power necessary on a Server-wide scale.
What does this inability entail? That is worth delving into.
Do not be fooled by the current distance between the Five Major Cities; once a Guild Base is established and evolves into a norm as players level up, those Monster Zones that are currently ignored will naturally be connected through the Guild Base.
This involves the future development prospects of the Guild because establishing a Guild Base is not as simple as forming a Guild. Ultimately, a developed Guild Base will become a city entirely built by players, distinct from the System Main City.
Clearly, for a city to develop, choosing the right location is crucial.
In terms of the game, where to establish the Guild Base to maximize benefits for the Guild itself is a problem that must be considered and solved. However, it cannot be denied that for players, subsequent leveling up represents the greatest potential for profit.
Yet, in the current situation, players generally hover around level forty... and in terms of future long-term development, this is merely a fleeting moment, an ephemeral pause. Using the present as a measure for future growth is clearly naive.
Therefore, a Guild with foresight will choose locations for its Guild Base that are suitable for mid-to-late stage leveling for its members. Not to mention that low-level stages will pass quickly; establishing a Base of Operations near the System Main City would only invite unnecessary competition.
However, one point must be acknowledged...
To build a Base of Operations, one must first clear land. But with players currently around level forty attempting to venture into areas occupied by monsters at level sixty or even eighty, isn’t that just asking for death? At least for any current Guild, this holds true.
Thus, even if they obtain a Guild Token now, they cannot fully utilize its effects. If they temporarily hold onto the Guild Token until their members level up before venturing out, why spend large sums now?
Once levels increase, challenging an eighty-level boss will naturally become easy; who would worry about not obtaining a Guild Token then?
In fact, while the title of this first Guild Token sounds impressive, its circumstances are quite awkward. Buying it would certainly come at a high price and may not even be fully effective; yet not buying it leaves one feeling somewhat uneasy.
This is the dilemma currently troubling many Presidents!
In truth, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan were able to so readily auction off the Guild Token because they recognized this point. Rather than letting it gather dust in storage, it was better to push this problem out into the open. Moreover, they could leverage its status as "the first on Server-wide" to drive up its price!
However...
People are different, and naturally, their thoughts will not be the same. The Divine Silence Guild holds this view, but it does not mean that all other guilds share the same perspective.
For example: Righteousness Above All!
As the nation's Third Guild, Righteousness Above All is much quieter compared to Divine Silence and War God Hall. However, due to its resounding name, even small movements are misinterpreted by outsiders as a buildup of strength, waiting for the right moment to achieve a remarkable leap forward.
Yet… even so, there is nothing wrong with that!
Under the pressure of the two giants, Divine Silence and War God Hall, Righteousness Above All has only one option if it wants to rise: to push these two mountains aside and obtain the first Guild Token on the Server-wide scale. This would clearly be an excellent strategy.
At the very least, it would allow them to suppress both guilds in terms of presence…
However, Righteousness Above All is also well aware that among many small guilds, there are certainly quite a few that share their thoughts at this moment.
But regarding this point, until things come to a conclusion, it will always exist only in speculation and imagination. No one can predict what sudden situations may arise… After thinking it over, it seems that there is only one course of action worth pursuing after making basic preparations.
Unchanging amidst change!
