The World Channel will only publish news that has an impact on the global landscape.

For example, the capture of cities.

Like the capture of islands.

For example, the killing of world-class bosses.

Even the first kill of the secret realm is not eligible to be on the world channel.

When Qiu Yan became the world's number one city lord when he captured the Upper Demon City in November, he also had a similar piece of world information, but although the concepts of cities and islands are similar, they are still very different.

The biggest difference is that the city is part of the country, and once it is fully occupied, it is equivalent to the destruction of the country, and the punishment for destroying the country is very severe, one of which is that all players in the country will have their income in the game halved until at least one city is recovered.

Although the island does not have the administrative function of a castle, the rights of the island owner are more than that of the city lord.

……

Su Ying, as usual, was leveling up with Qin Qingman and Hyacinth in a cave.

The leveling environment of professional players is actually not very good, once the position is exposed, there will always be a large group of fans around, and the efficiency will naturally be affected, but fortunately, the level of most professional players is ahead of ordinary players, and there will not be too many people in the leveling area.

Su Ying and Qin Qingman already had mounts and could have gone to some more remote areas, but in order to take care of Hyacinth, they didn't run too far.

The three of them laughed while skillfully brushing the monster.

At this moment, the message of the World Channel was refreshed.

[Congratulations to the players in China: Silly White Rabbit, successfully captured Thunder Island and became the world's first island owner.] 】

"What is this?" Hyacinth found out for the first time.

World news is also just a channel in the chat area, and if there are too many other messages, you may miss them all at once.

"The Owner?"

"What islander?"

"Someone seems to have seized the island." Hyacinth said as he looked back at the message log.

"Can the island still be occupied?" Su Ying said curiously.

"Islands, like cities, can be conquered." Qin Qingman explained that she hadn't noticed the message before, and only started to check it after listening to Hyacinth's words.

"It's so cool, the island lord, it sounds more majestic than the city lord, who is so powerful?" Su Ying asked with great interest.

"I look at it, it looks like ......"

Qin Qingman finally flipped to the message, first paused for a moment, then couldn't believe it, and after confirming it again and again, he muttered: "It seems to be...... It seems to be ...... You. ”

"Huh?" Su Ying didn't understand.

"It's you, Xiaobai, you became the world's first island owner."

"Huh?" Su Ying became more and more confused.

"I don't know, but it's really written about you, stupid, stupid, small, white, rabbit, not a word is bad, there will be no duplicate names in the game." Qin Qingman confirmed again.

"But I'm not going anywhere." Su Ying said innocently.

"I don't understand."

"Could it be a benefit given to newbies by the game?" Su Ying asked.

"Newbie benefits for an island?" Qin Qingman couldn't laugh or cry a little: "Do you know how many islands with names there are in the world in the game?" ”

"How much?"

"791 seats." Qin Qingman said.

"That's a lot."

"But you can't just send a newcomer."

"I think so, but I didn't do anything." Su Ying didn't know the bottom in her heart, but she was a little worried.

"Could it be the Grey God?" Qin Qingman asked.

"I'll ask."

However, without waiting for Su Ying to ask, Lu Zhe went offline directly.

It was exactly 4 o'clock and he got off work.

Su Ying was helpless, thinking that she wouldn't call Lu Zhe about this, anyway, he would come back soon.

"Speaking of which, what exactly does this island owner do?" Su Ying asked.

"Well, it's similar to the city lord."

"Oh, what can the city lord do?" Su Ying asked again.

"The biggest benefit is to collect taxes." Qin Qingman said.

"Collect taxes?"

"Well, the gray god may not have told you about this, every player who does a task near the city, and among the proceeds, he will automatically hand over one percent to the city lord and one percent to the guild. Although it is only 10%, it is a lot of money when you think about the thousands of people combined. ”

"Aren't all the city lords rich?"

"Well, so everyone wants to attack the city, I am the city lord of Hangzhou City, and now I have an income of tens of thousands of gold coins a day. Qiu Yan's Upper Demon City can have fifty or sixty thousand a day. ”

Qin Qingman, as the number one professional player in the November ranking, will inevitably have to claim a city, with her fame, there are more players doing tasks around Hangzhou City, but after all, the scale of the city is there, no matter how it is, it can't be compared with the Demon City of the three super cities.

"Wow, isn't that lying down to make money?" Su Ying was a little envious.

"But all that money belongs to the club, and people like us actually don't have any money, and we can't use it." Qin Qingman explained.

"Why?"

"The club is uniformly distributed."

"That's right."

"Actually, it sounds like the city can make a lot of money, but the guild also has to give benefits to players, otherwise it won't be able to recruit people at all. The two cancel each other out, and it's not so exaggerated. ”

"Seems to make sense."

Su Ying thought that Du Xiaoxiao had been having a headache recently and couldn't give benefits to the players of the guild, and seemed to understand a little.

Although she is also the management of the Yingxiao Guild, her current focus is on improving her personal level, and she has basically not participated in the management of the guild, and Du Xiaoxiao is in charge of it.

"That means the owner of the island can also collect taxes?" Su Ying asked with some expectation.

"Yes, not only that, but islands are more of private fiefdoms than cities." Qin Qingman said.

"What do you say?"

"The most obvious example is that in the city, even the city lord can't build any buildings, and he can't change the pattern of the city itself, because the city is not only the stronghold of the guild, but also the player's main city in the game, if it is changed at will, it is obviously inappropriate."

Qin Qingman said: "However, the island is different, it is completely the private territory of the island owner, and you can build it as you want." ”

Su Ying's eyes lit up: "It's really interesting." ”

Qin Qingman said with a smile: "But don't be too happy, the game is balanced, it is impossible for you to take advantage of all the advantages, although the island has a higher degree of freedom, but compared to the city, it is more difficult to defend, it is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, everything you build is likely to end up being cheap to the enemy." ”

Hyacinth joins in and says, "Is it because there are no walls?" ”

Qin Qingman said: "Yes, and on the other hand, the city is generally surrounded by local players, even if there is an enemy attack, they will get the news very early, plus the existence of the portal, your own players can continue to support, which also makes the city relatively easy to defend." ”

Su Ying asked, "Isn't there a place on the island where players can level up?" ”

Qin Qingman said: "Yes, but the number of tasks in a place is directly related to the size of the region, like your Thunder Island, the area is not large, it is estimated that there are not many tasks to do, what can players do when they come?" ”

Su Ying was a little disappointed and said, "So I don't actually collect much tax, right?" ”

Qin Qingman said with a smile: "No matter how small it is, it is an island, not to mention that there are many sources of economic income on the island, you will naturally understand these in the future." By the way, what does the Gray God say? ”

"He just got off the line, probably on his way back from work."

"By the way, does the Gray God really have to go to work during the day?" Qin Qingman suddenly changed the topic.

"yes, but he's in the game software design, so he can occasionally go online during work hours."

Lu Zhe did not hide his specific work from Su Ying, but he did not say a word about Hua Wei's preparation to set up a team, first, this has nothing to do with Su Ying, and second, Huawei has signed a confidentiality agreement with every employee, and the matter about the team cannot be passed on.

Although this kind of thing can't be completely airtight, until it's completely certain, the esports division doesn't plan to make a public appearance.

And the smartest thing about Warwick is that it often deliberately spreads some gossip about the formation of a team, but neither admits nor denies it.

After a long time, everyone has become numb to this kind of news.

Qin Qingman said again: "Xiaobai, I asked you a more private question, if it's inconvenient for you to say it, it's okay." ”

Su Ying said strangely: "What? ”

Qin Qingman's voice was full of gossip: "Has the gray god really entered the faith?" ”

Su Ying paused for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be, we have known each other for so long, and he hasn't mentioned much about the game, that is, the countries have opened the server, and I pulled him to play, only to know that he is so powerful." ”

Qin Qingman was surprised: "Haven't you seen him play games before?" ”

Su Ying said: "No, yes." ”

Qin Qingman said: "Then don't you think it's strange? ”

"What's weird?"

"He doesn't play games much, why is he so good?"

"Isn't that weird?" Su Ying was puzzled.

"Of course, with the current training system, it is difficult for amateur players to reach the top level, let alone the gray god."

"I don't know, but I remember him saying he didn't have a religion." Su Ying recalled.

Chang Hao, who was in the previous e-sports moment, talked about this, and Du Xiaoxiao also specially asked Lu Zhe, but of course Lu Zhe would not admit it.

Qin Qingman sighed: "It seems that there is really that kind of genius in this world who can excel by just playing." ”

……

The three of them were interrupted by the affairs of the island, and they didn't have much of the heart to continue the task, so they chatted for a while, and it was almost dinner time, so they simply disbanded.

Du Xiaoxiao had just separated from Xima Zangjian, and began to ask Su Ying about the island, she didn't know as well as Qin Qingman, and the two couldn't discuss anything.

Lu Zhe returned to the studio, and Du Xiaoxiao consciously left the position next to Su Ying.

"Zhe, I suddenly became the owner of an island."

"yes, I know."

"Did you do it?"

"I thought you wouldn't be paying attention." Lu Zhe said with a smile.

Giving up the position of the owner of the island to Su Ying was also something he had thought about from the beginning, and the purpose was naturally to give Su Ying more opportunities to become familiar with the game.

What's more, the Yingxiao Guild is ultimately operated independently by her and Du Xiaoxiao, and the owner is only the first step.

"I didn't pay attention to it, but Xiaoqing reminded me."

"Then Qin Qingman told you what happened to the island?" Lu Zhe was still not used to the title Xiaoqing, and only after reacting for a while did he remember that it was Qin Qingman.

"Kind of talk."

"Don't worry too much about the islands now, it's going to be a while before we get out to sea." Lu Zhe explained.

"Oh."

Su Ying learned that it was indeed Lu Zhe's handiwork, so she no longer worried and didn't ask any more.

Lu Zhe continued: "But after level 30, you can go to Thunder Island to practice leveling, although there are not many tasks, but it is better to be quiet and no one disturbs." ”

"Can you call Hyacinth and Xiaoqing together?"

"Of course you can, but I'll build a flight point another day."

"Why wasn't it built today?"

"Not enough money."

"Is it expensive?"

"Ten thousand gold coins."

"So expensive?" Su Ying exclaimed.

Originally, she didn't have a deep concept of the currency in the game, but she only listened to Qin Qingman today, and the tax revenue of her Voyage City was only 10,000 gold coins a day.

In fact, 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount even in the late game, especially for ordinary players who are not local tyrants, even if they have this money, they are reluctant to build a fixed flight point.

Lu Zhe smiled: "After all, it's a flying point, if it's too cheap, wouldn't it be all over the place in the game." ”

"Yes."

"Also, I need your authorization to build a flying point on the island."

"Because I'm the owner?"

"Hmm."

"Can a CEO be appointed?" Su Ying is addicted to being the boss, and always wants to give people a nod title.

"Think of good things." Lu Zhe smiled.

……

Because Du Xiaoxiao's chef has not yet come, the dinner of the three of them can only be solved in the small restaurant they often go to.

Su Ying, who had just owned an island, offered to be treated.

Du Xiaoxiao was obviously not very interested, but Lu Zhe was a little curious, it was rare to see this heartless Boss Du having troubles.

"Xiaoxiao is worrying about the guild's affairs." Su Ying explained.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhe asked.

Du Xiaoxiao swallowed a mouthful of food and sighed: "Two more people have withdrawn from the meeting today." ”

"How many are there now?" Lu Zhe hadn't cared about the guild for a long time.

"More than 600."

"It's already pretty good."

"But if you can't give benefits, there will always be people who quit the club. I want to pay for it myself, but I can't buy gold even if I have money in the game right now. In fact, I have returned all the 10% of the income that everyone gave to the guild as a benefit, but unfortunately it is still too little. Du Xiaoxiao said sadly.

"Don't be too anxious, we don't have a city as a base, and we really can't compare with those big guilds, but giving benefits is only one aspect, these people are not here for this in the first place, so even if you give more, it won't have much effect."

"What then?"

"Enliven the atmosphere and enhance cohesion."

"Uh...... I don't understand. ”

"The simplest is to organize everyone to play dungeons, do team tasks, not necessarily you personally lead the team, but to create a platform for everyone, the guild is originally a place for players to communicate, in addition, we now have another advantage."

"What?" Du Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"Thunder Island, when the flight point is built, you can let everyone go there in batches to do tasks. The efficiency of leveling on the island may not be very high, but it is just a freshness, which can be regarded as the characteristic of the Yingxiao Guild. ”

"That's a good idea." Du Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Su Ying was more active than Du Xiaoxiao, and hurriedly agreed: "The owner of this island warmly welcomes guild players to come to the island. ”
