Chapter 226 The Continent Shakes, the Aftermath of the First Guild
"Hahaha! See that?! All attributes +3%! I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch now!"
"+5% experience gain! That's awesome! Can this buff stack with the Scourge buff?"
"Brothers! From now on, our War Alliance will be the number one on this continent!!"
"Thanks to the president! Thanks to Boss Lin Tian!"
Standing in the center of the valley, Zhang Tianya listened to the excited discussions of his brothers around him and looked at the titles above their heads. He felt a surge of pride, but even more so, a heavy sense of responsibility.
He knew that this honor brought not only advantages, but also countless prying eyes and potential dangers.
The guild has officially stepped into the limelight from its previous relatively loose player organization, becoming the target of comparison and challenge for everyone.
"Don't just get excited!" Zhang Tianya channeled his fighting spirit, his voice echoing through the valley. "Repair the fortifications as quickly as possible! Organize the patrol teams, prioritizing high-level, high-potential brothers, make good use of the experience bonus, and level up as fast as you can! We must completely transform this first-mover advantage into absolute strength!"
His orders were swiftly executed, and the entire guild, like a highly efficient machine, began its first high-speed operation since its establishment.
Zhang Tianya himself soon welcomed his first wave of "guests".
Several guild leaders or representatives from different main cities, all with considerable prestige, approached him through various channels, their words filled with flattery and probing, their core purpose being the same—the source of the guild creation order.
Zhang Tianya was well prepared for this. He warmly received the visitors, but remained tight-lipped about the specific source of the establishment order.
"Gentlemen, it's not that I'm unwilling to share." Zhang Tianya wore a seemingly simple but actually shrewd smile.
"This guild creation token was obtained by our guild at a great cost and through a stroke of luck. The specific details involve our guild's core secrets and are not convenient to disclose. As for its source... hehe, I'm sure everyone can guess, it must be a high-level BOSS. As for which one specifically, that depends on your skills and luck."
His words were perfectly watertight, neither completely denying the possible relationship with Lin Tian (which everyone actually knew), nor failing to pass the buck, implying that the source was a high-level BOSS and guiding them to find out for themselves.
Although the visitors were somewhat unwilling, they did not dare to press the matter too much.
After all, the current alliance is riding high, and there is an unfathomable figure standing behind it.
They could only leave with some vague information and a bellyful of guesses.
After dismissing these groups of people, Zhang Tianya rubbed his temples and instructed his deputy, "Pass down the order: from now on, any inquiries about the guild establishment token must be answered with this wording. Also, strengthen our internal information control; any discussion about Boss Lin Tian and the source of the guild establishment token must be stopped immediately."
"Understood, Chairman."
Zhang Tianya walked to the valley entrance, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside, and at the figures in the distance that were faintly visible and seemed to still be watching, and sighed softly.
"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease..." he muttered to himself. "This first guild title is both an honor and a target. I just hope these guys don't set their sights on the wrong people..."
He knew very well that the real storm might have only just begun.
The core of this storm is not his alliance, but the man who is currently nowhere to be found, seemingly detached from everything.
The landscape of the continent has quietly begun a new round of fierce competition due to the establishment of alliances and their alluring permanent bonuses.
Everyone's eyes turned fervent, and ambition began to spread like wildfire.
......
The shock effect of the first guild's sudden emergence quickly transformed into an extreme desire and collective pursuit of the "guild creation token" throughout the entire game world within just 24 hours, spreading like wildfire almost like a virus.
Before this, the various factions' inquiries and searches about the "Guild Establishment Order" were still tinged with a degree of cautious observation and tentative probing.
So, after the birth of the "First Guild", the competition for this small token in the entire game world has completely abandoned all restraint and hesitation, and entered an unprecedentedly fierce and almost white-hot stage of competition.
As the most core public information platform in the game, the world channel has become the most direct and noisy display window for this fervor.
Once upon a time, this place was filled with all sorts of requests for team-ups, displays of equipment and achievements, and casual chatter, creating a vivid yet somewhat chaotic picture of gaming life.
However, at this moment, all of this seemed to be instantly cleared away and covered by an invisible force.
Instead, a deluge of purchase requests flooded the screen like a data deluge, leaving people dizzy.
Behind each scrolling message lies the urgent desire and unwavering determination of a certain faction:
[World Channel] "Shadow Dance," the dominant guild in Yunxi City, is offering a hefty sum to purchase a guild creation token, bringing with it substantial funds and resources!"
[World Channel] "The Mayan City 'Glorious Era' Legion is willing to offer three rare S-grade legendary equipment pieces, plus an astonishing 500,000 gold coins, in exchange for a Guild Creation Token! As a second choice, if any player can provide concrete clues about a specific BOSS dropping a Guild Creation Token, once verified by us, we will immediately pay 100,000 gold coins as a reward! The opportunity is right in front of you!"
[World Channel] "Stone Gorge City is sincerely offering to purchase guild creation tokens! Gold coins, resources, and favors are all negotiable! Price is not an obstacle. Our goal is clear: we are determined to win the supreme glory of becoming the 'Second Guild'!"
[World Channel] "The top mercenary group in Cairo, 'Blazing Sun,' is composed entirely of elite players with extensive combat experience and top-notch execution! We urgently need a guild creation token to complete our magnificent transformation from a loose mercenary group to a formal guild! We look forward to cooperating with the token holder to create a glorious future together!"
[World Channel] "All solo players, unite! We have pooled millions of gold coins, all for a guild creation token! Let us lone wolves also have a real home of our own, and let our voices be heard across this continent!"
This information is like a never-ending waterfall, constantly washing over the player's vision.
The conditions were staggering, the prices were constantly being raised, ranging from direct gold coin payments to top-tier equipment that was priceless and unavailable, and even promises regarding future guild positions and resource sharing...
