Chapter 895 -895: Encounter Again
Starfire’s action this time was simply too significant to conceal.
Compared to the excitement and joy of Starfire players, players from other guilds felt envy and jealousy. What is the purpose of playing games, and why join a guild? The member benefits in Starfire were already relatively high, and everyone knew the chairman of Starfire was wealthy and bold.
This time, the guild powerfully secured so much equipment that it was practically a gift to Starfire’s members.
The members of Starfire revered Li Yao to the utmost, and now even more so.
If it could be said that Starfire had achieved impressive results in the competition, Li Yao’s domineering championship victory sparked players from other districts to join Starfire.
This time the spark had indeed hit the powder keg, not just attracting casual gamers from China but also from other districts who longed to join Starfire, leading to rapid expansion of its subsidiary guilds once again.
Those feeling upset included Starfire’s rival guilds and those guilds whose bosses had been stolen by Starfire, who were grinding their teeth in resentment.
Although Starfire’s loot was plentiful, it was impossible for each person to get one piece of equipment, but this activity mainly allowed Starfire’s equipment and items to be thoroughly circulated.
To swap scores for preferred equipment, one could either undertake guild missions or exchange Gold Coins for scores, or even trade their equipment for scores.
But doing missions was too slow and required time, and equipment could be swapped by someone else in the meantime, so many were eager to exchange Gold Coins or equipment for scores.
But just because you don’t need or like certain equipment doesn’t mean others won’t need it. Consequently, the members’ equipment started circulating within the Starfire guild.
Moreover, as the Gold Equipment continued to be exchanged and depleted in the guild’s warehouse, this trend was even more stimulated.
Gold Dresses certainly didn’t drop in price but instead required massive amounts of scores.
But no one complained, for a simple reason—at Starfire, you could exchange for Gold Equipment. Apart from Starfire, which other guild had such capability? Not to mention other guilds’ warehouses, one couldn’t even spot Gold Equipment in the auction houses.
Occasionally, a Gold Equipment appeared would be auctioned off at sky-high prices, making it a coveted item not only for average players but also for experts.
Starfire’s generous actions greatly enhanced the honor and cohesion among its members.
This was exactly what the rival guilds, especially Shengshi Guild, were worried about. They had high hopes for this mission, but it turned out to be a trap; and moreover, they had been tricked by Li Yao.
This made Shengshi deeply feel the threat from Starfire.
Li Yao of course knew that his actions this time would inevitably cause many guilds to target Starfire further, but he simply didn’t care.
He was very clear that even without this incident, those who hated Starfire would still hate it.
This incident was merely a catalyst; Li Yao knew that even if this hadn’t happened, the issue of the port mentioned by the queen would eventually erupt.
When the time came, a multi-faceted coalition would suppress Starfire. Since such a scenario was inevitable, Li Yao saw no need for pleasantries; he would enhance Starfire’s strength as much as possible.
Furthermore, Li Yao had certain confidence in Starfire’s strength. When the territorial control battle came, Starfire was sure to break out and establish a second guild base.
For the contest and plans for the new area, Li Yao was determined to win, because this opportunity was too rare to miss.
If they were to establish a foothold and build a superior port in the West Continent, it would not only solve the transportation issues of the Dark Camp’s east-west routes but would also affect the Dark Camp’s connection and control over the West Continent.
For Starfire, the benefits were numerous, the most important being that, with the expansion of Starfire, they could extend their power and influence into the inland areas of this region, not just the ports.
More crucially, with the inclusion of the sandbar’s port, if connected, it could form an important navigational route between the east and west continents. Starfire would inevitably see a huge increase in revenue, a far more reliable income than what Li Yao had managed by exploiting his knowledge from the previous world.
In fact, unless absolutely necessary, Li Yao rarely utilized his foresight from the previous world to earn Gold Coins. After all, he had resorted to that method only once at the beginning.
Li Yao was aware that a healthy guild, if reliant on equipment gained as though by fluke, was neither normal nor sustainable.
He knew much, but there was a limit, and with the butterfly effect, many experiences from the previous world might not be useful, or some events might even occur earlier or disappear altogether, as Li Yao was well aware.
In fact, if Li Yao wished, he could earn as many Gold Coins as he wanted, but he chose not to do so.
Besides his initial start-up capital, Starfire had already started on the path of self-sufficiency, and with the addition of the port, Starfire would continue to develop in a healthy and orderly manner.
Only if the members felt that Starfire was something they had developed together would there be unity and a sense of belonging. If it all depended on Li Yao, then Starfire would only become a place of fame and profit.
This was not the situation Li Yao wanted to see.
Astride the Hell Battle Scorpion, Li Yao, accompanied by Vereesa and Ronin, hurried along while he pondered these issues, his thoughts becoming clearer.
Ronin, traveling alone, along with Vereesa and her subordinates, formed a party of about thirty people. Disguised as cultists, they hurried toward Gruimbart.
“Sir… ahead, we’ve spotted a force of over fifty thousand weak recruits,” a Ranger reported after dismounting from his Dragon Eagle partner.
“Weak recruits…” Vereesa looked toward Li Yao.
Li Yao nodded and said, “Those must be from last night, but what intrigues me is why they would stay in such a dangerous place while weak.”
“Could there be another group that has contracted them?”
Ronin furrowed his brow; although he didn’t interact much with recruits, he understood that these recruits flocked where there were opportunities and retreated when there were none.
“Perhaps I should take a look, since we are isolated and weak right now,” Li Yao suggested.

Vereesa nodded, “That sounds good.”
Soon, the group arrived at a nearby cemetery, which had indeed formed a vast encampment.
These weakly revived players were chatting, playing Hearthstone or Gwent, or engaging in pet battles at various guild camps, creating quite a lively scene.
Having shed their disguises, they saw the high-ranking NPC of the high elves, and the guild leaders gathered seamlessly at the perimeter.
“Chairman Liaoyuan, it’s you,” they said, their expressions complex as they looked at Li Yao atop the Hell Battle Scorpion with a top-level camp leader by his side.
Thinking of Li Yao’s appearance in the cave yesterday and now here, it must be for some significant task…
