"Lenz" is a member of the small commercial guild "Bitter Chocolate".

As a small-scale commercial guild, under the current situation, the survival situation is indeed not very good. Also because of the setting of the game system, large guilds always have advantages that small guilds can't match, not only the rewards provided by the system such as "daily energy value extra recovery" and "towns with branches can enjoy certain discounts", but also the various resources of the guild itself, which are also incomparable to small guilds. For "manufacturing" players who collect and process various resources as game content, "mutual exchange" is an indispensable thing, so that the market within the guild is very necessary. It is difficult for small guilds to enjoy such benefits.

Originally, the "small business guild" was a place where casual players who didn't expand their game methods would get together to chat casually, exchange information, etc., and have a relatively relaxed atmosphere, and there were not too many clear requirements for members to go online and contribute.

However, after the "crossing" incident, the status of the so-called "small guild" became very awkward. The guild channel does not exist zài, so there is no need to think about chatting through the guild channel, and the problem of going online is ...... Can anyone "go offline" now?

For a player with a relatively high level like "Lenz", he just needs to make something every day according to the skills he has learned in the past, and then sell it to others. You can live a relatively good life. Players with low levels may not produce items of high value, but they can also ensure their basic food, clothing, housing and transportation, and for players who "have little pursuit", small guilds are also indifferent.

As long as the guild leader can find a way to keep a guild running, then everyone is willing to settle for the status quo.

However, the premise is that, "you can still find a way to keep a guild running".

It's not actually easy to do.

After the crossing, almost all players became much less active. The rent of the guild's clubhouse, as well as the maintenance of the guild's other day-to-day operations, requires a lot of money. Originally, in the era of games, this rent may not have been too much of a problem, but after the time travel event, there are fewer channels to get money, but the rent has become more expensive. Truth be told, the guild has begun to make ends meet.

It's not like in the gaming era, where it was just a place to "go online every day to see what's going on and chat", but now it's a "guild" where everyone has to work hard to stay afloat.

However, Lenz's work was not very glamorous.

This is similar to stealing, and the only justification that can be used as a defense is the excuse that we are not the only ones doing this. However, for a crumbling guild like Bitterchocolate, it was enough to find such an excuse.

The "Sun Traveler Community" and the "Sun Player Co-op Conference" have been a hot topic among the Sun Human Kingdom's player base lately.

More and more newcomers and individual players have joined the guild of the "Sun Traveler Community", and in just one month, the number of players in the "Sun Traveler Community" has surpassed that of "Distant Wind" to become the largest player organization in Sun City.

And this "Sun Traveler Community", although nominally free of charge to provide better training, onboarding and teaming services for all newbies and individual players, in fact also runs a number of projects that can be more or less profitable.

For example, for the acquisition and consignment sale of "soul fragments", a 30% handling fee will be directly drawn in the middle. With this alone, the Suntraveler Community is fully capable of sustaining itself, and as the number of novice players increases, their benefits become more and more exaggerated.

For merchants or crafting players, "energy" is the basis of trade or manufacturing activities, and without "energy", the system's skills cannot be invoked. Without "accounting" skills, each transaction will incur at least 20% additional expenses, and without manufacturing skills, it is even more exaggerated, and it may take several times to ten times the time to make the corresponding items, or even not at all.

Understood as "energy" is actually a guarantee that players have relatively high productivity, to put it bluntly, for merchants, "energy" is currency.

In this way, the soul fragments that can restore "energy" are obviously the most worthwhile things to buy. Soul fragments, which were originally wasted due to storage difficulties and logistical inconveniences, can now be better handled through the new mechanics provided by the "Sun Traveler Community", not to mention the extraction of 30% of the transaction fee, even if it is extracted 70%, it is definitely something to earn for merchant players.

Bitter chocolate, however, has some more off-the-shelf ideas for this.

If you bribe those who are responsible for leading the novice players, you can avoid the 30% rake. In doing so, you can really save a lot of money.

This kind of thing is really dishonorable, and it is indeed a kind of theft. And Renz, who originally thought that he was kind and had a clear conscience, was just an ordinary person, but now his job is to be in charge of this matter with the guild.

Obtain letters from the "supplier", put the "soul fragments" in the warehouse, then count the goods, and send the payment back to the "supplier".

"Sir, can I disturb you a little~?"

On the way to the mailbox near the guild clubhouse, he was stopped by a little girl with pink hair. It's a little girl with a whole head lower than Lenz and a slightly strange expression.

(Is it native?) ）

After targeting the girl, he learns that her name is "Biffin", level 31.

(Subtle levels, aren't the levels of NPCs usually integer multiples of 5?) ）

The little pink-haired girl was dressed in a delicate black and white maid outfit decorated with ribbons and bows, and her seemingly slender body had a pair of exaggerated fat deposits on her body and a low neckline.

This kind of costume can be called "color gas", and it is not too strange to see this kind of costume among players of "Sword and Sorcery and Journey", but there is a subtle "wrong style" when the locals wear this kind of clothing.

"Uh-huh...... Yes, a little bit of something...... I hope you can do me a favor...... It won't be long......" Seeing that Lenz did not reply, the girl's face became even more strange, and she pleaded with Lenz in a tone that seemed to be a prayer, but also seemed to have some other meaning.

Why do natives take the initiative to find themselves? Lenz was curious.

(The payment is actually not very urgent...... Let's take a look, shall we? ）

"What's the matter?"

"Just follow me...... ...... that won't delay you too much"
