Volume 1: The Second Coming (Remastered) Chapter 37: The Serpent That Devoured Itself
Leaving Lao Shengji, Yu Bin did not immediately go back to continue to devote himself to the magnificent magical world. The night wind near the beginning of winter blew on his body with an obvious chill, so Yu Bin couldn't help but wrap his clothes.
Along the school's exterior wall, Yu Bin walked slowly under the dimly lit streetlights, contemplating his next move.
Shen Tianyi's matter has been entrusted to Chen Tao, with the temperament of this Northeast man, it is almost certain to find that girl, the only thing to worry about is the time spent. Although Yu Bin asked Chen Tao to try to find Shen Tianyi within a week, he still needed to think more, in case he found Shen Tianyi after the second ring, then Yu Bin had to plan carefully. According to the experience of the previous life, when the second ring came, the government agencies in Huaxia began to ask the police and military in various places to fully control these mysterious rings, which greatly increased the difficulty for ordinary people to obtain the ring. Yu Bin didn't want to be targeted by those bureaucrats because of the tiger's mouth.
The second is how to use Chen Tao and them to strengthen themselves, don't look at Yu Bin's sincere expression in the box just now, and he was moved by Chen Tao's kindness, but in fact, it was all pretended. In his previous life, he had been in the New World for eleven years, and Yu Bin's heart had long been polished as hard as iron, and it could be said that except for Shen Tianyi, there was no one who could make him pay his true feelings. Even Chen Tao and them, in Yu Bin's eyes, are just props that can be used and are worth using, at least compared to those props that are not easy to use, the three of them don't need too much time to train to come in handy, and the price is just to pay a little hypocritical feelings.
The last thing is to establish an organization to support his own development, to be honest, this is the most important and urgent thing for Yu Bin. With the arrival of the second ring, more and more players will enter the world of Entagre, and when they realize that they can't gain a foothold on the continent on their own alone, huddling together for warmth has naturally become the first choice. From the simplest squad of a few players, to an adventuring party formed by a group of like-minded people, to a guild built with a lot of gold and supplies, this process does not take long. And among those big conglomerates and big families, there are many people with vicious eyes, who either come forward in person or hide behind their backs, expanding their influence in the world of Entagri through various means, drawing connections, resources, money and even power from them to satisfy their own desires.
In this context, the entire player base will enter a new stage of development. A large number of guilds spare no effort to compete for players, compete for various resources, compete for spheres of influence, and the most serious and bloody of them is the competition for high-level players. As Yu Bin was worried about before, after realizing how powerful the senior players can have, the competition for the senior players in those guilds can almost be said to have entered a white-hot stage, even if it is a large guild with a government agency background, they will control this "rare resource" by any means, from the simplest hiring, hiring and money buying, to the promotion and key training in reality, and even personal control, not to mention that some guilds will also use very vicious methods to control players, Similar to drugs and kidnapping, this is a common occurrence.
At the same time, once a high-level player joins a guild, rival guilds will also try to find a way to solve the problem, from hunting and bounty in the world of Entagre, to kidnapping and assassination in reality, all of which make these high-level players always on the lookout for it. Therefore, many high-level players will choose to join guilds with deep backgrounds for the safety of themselves and their families, especially those with national backing are the most popular.
This chaotic situation did not slowly subside until a few years after the world of Entagre was fully opened, and everyone slowly realized that this abnormal competition would greatly consume the power within the player, resulting in the inability to compete with the natives of the Entagri world for the dominance of the world, under the suppression of most countries, most of the guilds hated by players because of their ruthless methods were banned, and the control of high-level players was gradually released, turning into a way of mutual cooperation. Of course, there is also the factor that the players cultivated by each guild themselves have begun to gradually replace these high-level players.
For Yu Bin, establishing a guild or similar organization can not only attract a large number of ordinary players and rely on their strength to support their own development, but also use this method to take the first step to bring those high-level players with great potential into their command early, and when they grow up, Yu Bin's influence will never be much worse than those big guilds.
But to do so, Yu Bin still has a few problems to solve.
The first is the issue of funding. It is not difficult to establish a guild in the world of Entagre, just occupy a piece of territory in the wild, put up a banner, and then pull a vote, and a guild will be established. However, this kind of guild has little future, the natives will see them as bandits, and the player will not join such a powerless organization, and the end result will be disbanded or swallowed up by other guilds.
In order to create a true guild, players first need to choose a city to use as the guild's location. Only with the approval of the lord of the city will the guild be able to gain the support of the local aborigines, whether it is hunting or conducting commercial activities. And this is still the first step, and the establishment of the guild in reality is the most important.
Players come from all over the world, so it is difficult for the guild to manage its members, in order to have the necessary strength (killing monsters in the wild, raiding dungeons, completing tasks, and even fighting with other guilds, etc.), the guild must ensure that a certain number of members can obey orders and be ready to fight for the interests of the guild at any time, and to achieve this, the easiest and most direct way is to gather guild members in reality for management, which can protect the personal safety of members, On the other hand, it also allows them to keep moving at the same time, so as to avoid being broken by each one due to different online times.
To do this, it would take a lot of money, and the relationship between the union and its members would in fact become one of employment, almost no different from that of a real company. The profit of the trade union is the economic source of the company, the strength of the trade union is the company's business area, and capital begins to replace friendship and family affection, promoting the growth of the trade union step by step.
Then there's the question of credibility. Funds alone do not guarantee the survival of a guild, the purpose of players joining a guild, in addition to hoping to enjoy the various benefits of the guild, the most important thing is actually to get the protection of the guild, who can provide a greater sense of security, who can attract more players to join. At this point, guilds with national backgrounds have unique advantages, while Yu Bin has almost nothing.
No one would choose Yu Bin, a hairy boy, to be the leader, no matter how well he developed in the world of Entagre, no one would think that he would be able to compete with the power of the state in reality. And it is impossible for Yu Bin to foolishly promote his strength in reality in order to establish a trade union, which is simply asking for his own death.
When the long road was finished, when Yu Bin opened the door, he already had a preliminary plan.
He decided to build an organization that had never been there before. An organization destined to go down in history!
Walking quickly to the desk, there are more than a dozen thick professional books and some sorted notes on the table, the former is mostly about military, medical, psychological and other materials, and the latter is the information about the world of Ntagri that Yu Bin has sorted out in a race against time during this time. Since he was reborn, this work began, in order to avoid deviations and omissions in his memory, Yu Bin worked tirelessly to record this information bit by bit on a blank piece of paper, and carefully summarized it into a book.
The reason why I don't use computers is because electronic products are easy to be hacked into, in contrast, although the work is heavy in black and white, the security is guaranteed.
Yu Bin pushed away the book in front of him, took out a blank piece of paper from the drawer, picked up a pen and scribbled it on the white paper. Soon, a sketch appeared on the white paper, looking like a coat of arms.
With the continuous improvement of Yu Bin, the coat of arms drawn on the white paper has become clearer and clearer, after continuous revision, nearly an hour later, Yu Bin finally put down the pen in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
It was a chilling image just to look at, a jawless skull with a snake passing through two hollow eye sockets, and its slender head turned around to bite its own tail as if it were devouring it. Even if it's just black lines, this pattern can feel evil, cold and mysterious.
Yu Bin wrote four words at the bottom of the pattern - the snake that devours the body!
No one knows that the secret society known as the most mysterious organization of mankind in the future, the Snake of Body, which single-handedly brought the world into a new era, was born in such a humble low-rent house in the hands of such an inconspicuous young man. And this hair-raising coat of arms has since become a symbol, and both humans and the natives of the world of Ntagre tremble in the shadow of this coat of arms.
Yu Bin picked up the white paper with the coat of arms drawn, looked at it carefully, and then took out a lighter from his pocket, and with a snap, the red flames quickly devoured the terrifying coat of arms on the white paper, leaving only ashes.
When the blank paper burned out completely, Yu Bin turned on his phone and began to search for the information he was looking for. With the progress of society, the network has also extended to every corner, which has given Yu Bin great convenience.
While looking for it, I wrote and drew on the blank paper, and a large number of names and related information quickly filled the entire blank paper. As time passed, new names were written on paper, but more were crossed out by Yu Bin.
In the end, only the names of a few people were left on the blank paper, and not a single word of information about these people appeared.
Click! Yu Bin tapped the tip of his pen on the table, holding his chin, and his gaze kept moving back and forth between these names, and finally fixed on a name.
"I'm going to make you a snakehead! I hope you don't let me down! The last remaining descendant of the world's oldest family of vampire hunters, Intgula Van Bronck Veingeates Helsing! ”
When Yu Bin circled the name with a pen, its owner also felt an inexplicable palpitation in London, which is more than 9,000 kilometers away from Yu Bin.
"Miss Intergula, has something happened?" Walter, the butler, asked, wearing a white shirt, a blue jacket, a tie tightly tied to the collar of the shirt, one-sided glasses on his face, his hair tied back, and the white gloves on his hands spotless.
"It's fine, but I suddenly felt a chill." London has also entered winter, if it is in the city is a little better, but Intergula is located in an old castle belonging to the Helsing family, located on the outskirts of London, Helsing Castle was once home to the famous vampire hunter school, but with the development of technology, the existence of vampires is also considered a legend, since decades ago, there has not been a new vampire hunter in the whole of Europe.
Walter, the butler, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and reached out to close the window: "Miss, it's winter now, you have to be careful of catching a cold!" ”
As a housekeeper who has served the Helsing family for more than 50 years, Walter grew up watching Intergula, and for him, who has never married, the eldest lady Intergula is the new head of the Helsin family, and she is also like a granddaughter.
The castle was shrouded in darkness like a ghost, and only the room at the top of the castle where Intergula was located had a glimmer of light. This also proves that the Helsing family has gradually decayed and has long since lost its former glory. No one remembers how much the family paid to keep humanity safe, and more and more people see the castle as the last bastion of some delusional people, and mock those who live in it with impunity.
In fact, not long ago, Intergula personally killed his uncle who tried to seize the power of the family, which was the only direct bloodline left by the Helsin family besides her, but because he couldn't stand this ghost-like life, his uncle, who was already over half a hundred years old, tried to force Intergula to give up his identity as the head of the family through special means and make himself the owner of this ancient castle. His goal was simple, as long as he sold the castle to those wealthy people who were interested in ancient architecture, he would be able to get a lot of money, and then enjoy the rest of his life freely.
"Walter, did you say I did the right thing?"
The old housekeeper bent down and asked, "Miss, do you want a cup of black tea?" A shipment of Darjeeling just arrived from India yesterday. ”
"Walter, you haven't answered my question yet!"
"I'm just a steward, it's my mission to serve the master, as for judging the right and wrong of the master, Miss, that's not a steward's duty!" Walter said with a smile, "What's more, if the old master is still there, I'm afraid he will blame the eldest lady for her poor marksmanship!" ”
"Yes! This time has indeed been slack! Intergu tugged at her hair, and a golden ring was placed on her finger, although the color was different, but the shape was the same as the ring on Yu Bin's hand.
