Chapter 42: Sauter's Treasure Place

"The God of Wealth is back!" Chenxi Zimo shouted loudly, and everyone at the conference table looked at Qing Chi who entered the door, with malicious smiles in their eyes.

"What's going on? Why are you looking at me like that? Qing Chi glanced around at everyone strangely.

"This ...... Hey, hey, hey......" Yuan Mingqing laughed awkwardly a few times, and pushed out the grapefruit that was sitting there munching on rabbit legs, "Tong Yan Wuji, let's talk about children." ”

Grapefruit rolled her eyes, licked her fingers, and said, "Simply put, they've spent the money!" Now that the guild is poor, it's counting on you to make money! ”

Qing Chi opened the guild warehouse. Sure enough, the funds in the guild were only enough to sustain the circulation for a few days. Nearly 100,000 dollars of funds are gone. The salaries of guild members and management must be paid on time, the guild warehouse must also be replenished in time to provide leveling materials for life players, and the guild must pay maintenance fees on time every day. The money he has saved several times and for a long time has been invested in the guild, and 200,000 yuan has been used to purchase land, and now there are only more than 1,000 gold left in his backpack.

"Where's the guild's money? Yuan Mingqing, you give me an honest explanation. Qing Chi asked, propping his chin.

"Ahem, that's right, there was a message on the official website recently...... The Wild Desert City is about to open. Do you know the Wild Desert City? It was the first true guild station. Our current guild station is only a plane, but if we take the Houye Wasteland, the entire guild can really get a piece of its own territory in the eastern fertile continent. The highest level of guild station construction in Houye Wasteland is said to be level 5, and guilds in a plane like ours can only be upgraded to level 3 at most. Although the official website says that some territory will be opened in the future, no matter what, the guild that gets this territory first will definitely have enough advantages. Yuan Mingqing took a deep breath and said.

"Since you happen to be out of the city, we've already signed up at the town hall in the name of the Thorn City Happiness Guild. The guild that signed up had to pay 100,000 start-up funds, and it was only limited to the top ten guilds that signed up for the competition, so I didn't have time to discuss it with you, and I felt that even if we were a small guild, we had to gamble, so I signed up. Fresh Orange took over the topic, "Of course, we had a small meeting, and there were some who objected, thinking that we couldn't grab benefits from those big guilds, but lost 100,000 funds in vain, so the guild can't open the pot now, and we are looking forward to you taking everyone to make some money......"

I see. Looking at Yuan Mingqing's somewhat nervous and fearful expression, Qing Chi felt a little funny. It was also my own negligence, and I didn't even think about it. Houye Desert City is the first guild territory belonging to players, although the territory is not large, but it can be independent of the top ten cities, without paying any taxes, and self-sufficient development. At the same time, this territory can also raise the guild level to level 5. Each level of a guild level increases an additional status bonus to members. For example, a first-level guild can increase the experience gained by fighting monsters by an additional 5%, and a fifth-level guild can add additional experience, gold, and attribute points to members on the basis of the previous one. This site can have its own buildings, and you can open your own shops in the site, which is a small independent city, which of course any guild will look at.

Although the Happiness Guild is only a small guild, and the number of people is not as good as that of the big guild, Qing Chi will never be willing to give up this opportunity to fight. At the same time, this incident also illustrates the long-term vision and decisiveness of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. "Speaking of which, I'm just a hands-off shopkeeper, and the development of the guild depends entirely on everyone, so you have done a good job in this matter, and I don't disagree with anything. Don't worry I'll get angry, although I earn this money, it's for the development of the guild. We can't afford not to have the courage to gamble. ”

Qing Chi's fingers tapped on the table, and he suddenly remembered something. After assassinating Sauter in Creekwood Village, Will once gave himself a treasure map of Sauter. The number of people who entered that treasure map was fifty, so I didn't enter it at the beginning, but now I happened to take the Happiness Guild to fight, maybe I could make some money. The once famous robber Sauter Solter, although he later declined, and the people under his command also dispersed one after another, but this guy may be a miser, a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, so he should have some savings.

After thinking about this matter, Qing Chi immediately asked Yuan Mingqing to prepare, and selected fifty elites to find Saute's treasure place together. There are still five days left before the opening of Houye Wild City, and in these five days, the Happiness Guild must go all out to prepare.

Selecting a group of elites, Qing Chi and Yuan Mingqing led everyone through the Blade Mountain Range to a small village at the foot of the mountain. The Blade Mountains are steep mountains that players jokingly refer to as "Slippery Mountains." "The way up the mountain is very steep, if you don't pay attention, you can only go up by grabbing trees, and there are no large dungeons or wild resources here, so there are relatively few players who have been here. Qing Chi is also not very familiar with this place, in his previous life, he just passed by here in a hurry, and he didn't stay too long, could it be that there is something hidden here?

"The treasure map shows the coordinates just ahead, but ...... This doesn't seem to be the same as I imagined. Isn't it an ordinary village in front of you? Surely Sot wouldn't have hidden the treasure in the village? Yuan Mingqing scratched his head.

That's true. I thought it would be a hidden treasure place, but why did the coordinates show the village? Qing Chi called a few assassins who were good at stealth, and prepared to go and take a look. The village is located under a sparsely populated mountain range, and in the distance there are farms, wells, and cows. The farmer is busy in the fields, and the peasant woman and her children are basking in the sun at the door, no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary village.

"Boss, do you want me to go in and find these NPCs and ask about the situation? Maybe this treasure map is a trigger-triggered quest, maybe someone's cellar has Soth's treasure hidden in it? The assassin named Tempest asked.

Qing Chi squatted on the tree and looked down for a while, but found nothing unusual. The villagers all have green names on their heads, and they appear to be unable to attack. It seems that the only way to go in and ask.

"Wait, I think something is wrong with this village...... It's not like a normal village. Autumn Cabbage swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a little about to say something, but she was not sure if her guess was right.

"What's wrong, speak up and listen!" Qing Chi turned his face and gave him an encouraging look.

"These villagers are not real farmers. My family is rural, so I know some. The season in the game is probably autumn right now. You see these people are growing garlic in the ground, right? In autumn dry weather like this, the ground is about to crack, but it is not watered. The farmer in the field seemed to be harvesting buckwheat, but he didn't even pick up the amount that had fallen from the ground, and he kept looking around, but he didn't do much work. A real farmer doesn't do that. Destiny is a game that did a lot of research during development and tried to create a realistic fantasy world, and it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake. ”

I see! Because he was a child, he didn't know these agricultural common sense, and he almost made a big mistake. Qing Chi gave him a commendatory smile. Autumn cabbage is quite right, this is not a normal village at all. In this way, I always feel that there is something strange, and it makes sense.

If this village lives by farming and does not care about crops at all, there is only one reason, and that is that these people are pretending to be villagers, but in fact they are a den of robbers. Crossing the Blade Mountains is a rich town, and I am afraid that these robbers often use the villagers as a cover, but in fact they are stealing chickens and dogs, burning and looting. When the guards in the city chase after them, but pretend to be villagers, as a cover, it is really the safest place to be the most dangerous place.
