"Your Excellency, do you need any help?" said the principal respectfully.

Xia Bei was slightly stunned.

Generally speaking, system NPCs do not actively communicate with players. It's all about the players who have any questions and will answer. What's more, NPCs usually address Mr. Player, Ms. or Esteemed Player. Rarely use the term Your Excellency, which clearly carries the concept of dignity and inferiority.

"Are you ......" Xia Bei asked with some uncertainty, "Player?"

"No, Your Excellency," said the master, pointing to a prismatic star on his brow and the plaque on the chest of his clothes, "I am a humble servant of the Star God. ”

Xia Bei confirmed the identity of the other NPC.

Although it felt a little strange, however, he was originally going to find an NPC to do something, and now that someone took the initiative to ask, it was just right. Immediately asked, "I want to improve this guild ......"

Xia Bei glanced at the book and pointed to the Dragon and Tiger Brotherhood on the page: "Uh...... The number is 1772090222, the first-class guild of Tian'an City, the Dragon and Tiger Brotherhood...... The level of facilities. ”

"Your Excellency, you do not appear to be a member of this guild. The principal glanced at the book, and a series of small and mysterious symbols flashed in his eyes, "However, we can ......"

"Hmm. After only hearing the first half of the supervisor's words, Xia Bei nodded and said, "Please wait a minute...... What do you say?"

The director, who was about to stop talking, smiled and said, "It's nothing...... Can you join now?"

Xia Bei didn't hear his words clearly, but he didn't care too much, nodded, opened the control panel, entered the Tianxing number of the little mad, and started to look for it. Soon, the information of the little madness appeared in the search results.

Select, apply as a friend.

It was almost the time when Xia Bei sent the application, and the little madness had already passed.

"Brother Bei!" said the little madman excitedly.

His image in the Tianxing Temple, in an incarnation state, is a simple-looking young man in green shirts, and he also carries a sword on his back.

The identity of the incarnation of the little madman is public, Xia Bei has read the information and knows that his encounter in the Heavenly Dao Continent is not bad, he was born in a family of dart masters, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his resources are much better than ordinary people. Now that he has begun to follow the dart game, he has reached the level of the third level of the lower level of the human realm.

"I'm in the Guild Hall now," Xia Bei said, "I'll apply for membership first, and you pull me in." ”

"Guild Hall?" the little madman was stunned.

Players can join a guild by finding the guild directly on the control panel and applying for it, without having to go to the guild hall.

Brother Bei didn't know? He actually made a special trip to the Guild Hall...... Thinking in his heart, Xiao Crazy didn't say much, but he didn't hear it, and said at the moment: "Okay." ”

Xia Bei found the Dragon Tiger Brotherhood on the system panel and sent an application. After the little madness passed, his panel information quietly changed. In the guild column to which it belongs, in addition to the Elder Guild and the Courage Matrix Guild, there are also more Dragon and Tiger Brotherhoods.

Three guilds, three emblems.

Skywalker does not restrict players from joining guilds. In the case of multiple guilds, when you usually need to use the authority of one guild, or represent which guild's faction in a guild war, put the emblem into a circle on the board.

When the circle is activated, the guild badge will automatically appear on the chest, and at this time, the membership rights of the guild will be activated. During Guild Wars, the badges will also change to different colors to distinguish them. Normally, the emblem can be removed at any time, but once a war is declared between guilds and the player chooses a faction, it cannot be removed until the war is over.

Xia Bei activated the emblem of the Dragon and Tiger Brotherhood. Immediately, in the guild column of the Dragon and Tiger Brotherhood, one authority item lit up. At the same time, the authority of the Courage Matrix Club Guild, which had been lit before, dimmed.

"Now you can. Xia Bei turned his head to look at the NPC director and said.

The NPC director nodded and asked respectfully, "Then what level of facilities does Your Excellency want to upgrade the guild?"

"All of them. "Xia Beidao.

The NPC director was not surprised, and immediately stretched out his hand: "Please come with me." Excellency. ”

Xia Bei followed him to the counter, and an NPC receptionist sitting behind the counter got up and got out of the way, and the principal sat down, flicking his hand on the counter, and a stereoscopic image of a dilapidated small building suddenly appeared.

"Your Excellency," the principal said, pointing to the row of options next to Xiao Lou's image, "This is all the facilities that can be upgraded by the first-level guild, as well as the resources needed. ”

Xia Bei glanced at it. With his knowledge of Tianxing, he has long known all about this.

"These resources can be directly replaced by glory points, right?" Xia Bei asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The principal replied respectfully.

Upgrading the guild facilities in Skywalker requires a wide variety and a huge amount of resources. For example, iron ore, fine iron, certain wood, certain building components, and even certain ropes and fabrics.

And these resources are different from the cultivation resources such as medicinal materials, skill books, weapons and equipment that players usually need.

To put it simply, these so-called resources are actually waste.

First of all, players can't get these resources in daily activities such as dungeons, boss fights, etc., but must go to special guild quests or go to specific dungeons.

Secondly, they couldn't use the resources they got to make anything else like weapon armor or elixir. Anything other than using it for guild ascension is useless.

It is this setting that makes the gap between the guilds in Tianxing very large.

Few players are willing to spend their time working on guild quests. Everyone joins the guild in the hope of using the guild's manpower, material resources and facilities, not to waste their own time.

Therefore, guilds that do not have centripetal force will soon disperse. The guild that can grow up must be very united, have strong organizational power and appeal, and make members willing to pay for the guild.

And this kind of guild, except for professional club guilds and university guilds like Growing Up and Handa, whose members have a high sense of identity and belonging, most of the rest are guilds with deep pockets.

The reason is very simple, these resources can be bought with glory points!

As long as you have money, you can recruit a large number of members and let them play resources specifically for your guild. You can also choose to replace resources with Glory Points directly in the Guild Hall.

Of course, what can be done with money is limited to the addition and upgrading of the guild's facilities. The guild's own level increase is a hard indicator, not something that can be bought with money.

"Then I'll first upgrade the guild's council hall from a first-level bronze star to a first-level gold star. "Xia Beidao.

The council hall of the guild is the heart of the guild.

It is also a first-level guild, and if you increase the level of the council hall, you can increase the membership limit of the guild. The Hall of the Bronze Star is a hundred. The Silver Star Hall is one hundred and fifty people. The Venus Council Hall, on the other hand, can increase the number of guild members to two hundred.

In addition, the upgrade of the council hall will allow for additional building permits and foundations for ancillary facilities.

On the generated foundation, you can build the required facilities.

"The resources of the first-level guild hall, if converted into glory points, are two thousand glory ......points," the principal said.

Xia Bei had a pain in his flesh. Two thousand glory points is two hundred star dollars. If you are your former self, it is the salary of half a year's hard work, and it is also all your living expenses, including the mortgage.

Moreover, this is one of the facilities of the first-level guild.

If it becomes a second-level guild or a third-level guild in the future, the resources required will increase exponentially. This is also the reason why it is extremely difficult for ordinary players to run a guild.

Manpower is not as good as others, and financial resources are not as good as others, in case of repeated conflicts and being targeted and suppressed by others, then there will only be dissolution.

In the three-hundred-year history of Galaxy Tianxing, there are very few people who can operate individual guilds to level three or above.

However, I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf.

Xia Bei, who just got a windfall yesterday and just knocked a lot of bamboo from the Hall of Glory today, is now full of confidence. Distress is distress, but he knows that this money is an investment, not a squander. The flowers have to be spent. As long as the guild is in operation, no matter how much money you make in the future, you can earn it back.

"Good. Xia Bei nodded, and was ready to pay for the points.

And at this moment, the NPC director said: "It just so happens that there is a batch of resources in the warehouse of our guild hall, which needs to be disposed of at a low price. Your Excellency, I suggest that you buy these resources first and then use them to upgrade your guild facilities...... This can save you about two-thirds of your costs. ”

"Oh?" Xia Bei was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that he would have such luck - it was almost a triple discount!

Two thousand star dollars, and I only need seven hundred star dollars to take it?

But I've never heard of it before, and the system organization will provide players with such benefits. You must know that usually in the temple, everyone can bargain with the official institutions set up by the Galactic Republic, such as themselves and Luo Weiwei...... But in the face of NPCs in the system's native mechanism, this is simply impossible.

Even though Skywalker is not the same as in the real game, NPCs are NPCs. The rules set by the star gods have never been discounted. As long as other NPCs look at you with a smile, you will feel like a fool.

But the NPC in front of me is in charge...... The feeling in his heart is getting more and more weird, but in the face of the problem of money, especially this kind of thing that is beneficial to himself, Xia Bei has always made a quick decision: "Okay, just do what you say." ”

The specific process does not need to be bothered by Xia Bei.

After paying seven hundred and twenty Glory Points, the NPC Master quickly completed the resource transaction, and then used the resources to upgrade the guild hall.

With the upgrade of the guild hall, Xia Bei saw that the image of the guild building on the counter had changed.

Perhaps it was a major infrastructure upgrade, the reason why the system was directly rebuilt, the new small building, swept away the previous dilapidated and outdated, and became much larger and more beautiful.

In front of and behind the enlarged council chamber, there were also several flat open spaces.

This is a sign of the authority to construct other facilities after the council chamber has been upgraded.

"Your Excellency, what other facilities would you like to upgrade?" the principal asked.

Xia Bei looked at the projection of Xiaolou and pondered: "I need a forging workshop, an alchemy room, a soul refining room, and a task hall...... All of them have to be of Venus level. ”

"Okay. The principal quickly calculated, and said to Xia Beidao, "The total resources needed, if converted into glory points, are three thousand two hundred points." ”

Compared with the council room, the unit price of these ancillary facilities is lower. But the four facilities add up to a lot of money.

This time, Xia Bei didn't nod his head immediately, but looked at the principal and said with a look of hope: "Does the mission hall have any other resources to deal with?"

When he asked this sentence, Xia Bei was actually just in line with the idea of having dates and not hitting three poles.

But to his surprise, the principal nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency." We do have a number of resources to deal with...... Moreover, in addition to the facilities you need, there is a surplus of these resources, which can build a fighting arena, a small trading hall, a intelligence room, four arrow towers, a ring of C-level defense walls, four guard rooms, and a central circle tower......"

Xia Bei was stunned.

These reports by NPC directors already include all the facilities that a first-level guild can build.

However, not to mention that no one in the ordinary guilds built these, even the top-ranked first-level guilds in the core area of the guild were not built.

There are two reasons for this.

The first one is that you don't need it.

After all, the first-level guild belongs to the initial stage of the guild, and the location is still in the central area of the temple, even if a war breaks out with other guilds, it will not involve attacking the guild headquarters.

Only guilds above level 2 that have a resource base in the jungle area will have siege warfare.

Therefore, buildings such as the Arrow Tower, the Wall, and the Central Circle Tower do not have much practical effect in the first-level guild stage, except for being used to make a mess.

Of course, it's impossible to say that it doesn't work at all.

Guild members who own these facilities will have a very small stat bonus in the wild and in dungeons. Moreover, these facilities will increase the guild's strength rating score, which is good for the guild ranking.

But these benefits are much lower than their price.

Because of this, many Tier 1 guilds have abandoned these facilities.

Anyway, if you can't use it, why waste resources? Just like a child who has just learned to walk, even if he is given a full-body armor and weapons, how much effect can he play?

As for the second reason not to build, it is because of the difficulty of obtaining resources!

Many of these facilities are special.

Unlike basic facilities such as council halls, forge workshops, and alchemy rooms, these special facilities require special resources in addition to general resources. For example, the intelligence room needs the ears of several wild boss stone statue rangers and the eyes of several D3-level dungeon Black Swamp commanders of the Fire-Eyed General.

These special resources are not only scarce and difficult to obtain, but also rarely sold. Even if it is a second-level guild, when building similar facilities, it organizes its own manpower to fight.

Therefore, the wisest choice for a first-level guild in the face of these special facilities is not to look at them. Not to mention that there are no such special resources, even if there are, they will be stored in the warehouse, and they will be talked about when the guild reaches the second level.

What Xia Bei didn't expect was that the Guild Hall still had such a batch of surplus discount resources.

Originally, he had never even thought about building these facilities. But at this moment, the opportunity was in front of him, and he had to be moved.
