Chapter 270: The Sealed Land, the Land Without an Owner!
The shopkeeper quickly put the weapon back in his backpack, "Yes, yes, I was just scaring them!"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, this ID carries a lot of weight among players!
The Sealed Land is like a small society now because there is no supreme leader, so there are many players in The Sealed Land who can have a say in things.
These players all belong to the Human Alliance, but they each have their own power and territory.
And Ye Qiu was one of them.
There are one hundred leaders in the game, but so far, no player has reached that position.
But the game’s pattern has been set, and in the future, Ye Qiu is destined to be one of the top 100 leaders.
In his guild, there are tens of thousands of players, and in The Sealed Land, they are the ones who stand out.
The Sealed Land is like a small community now, where players may seem united, but are constantly competing behind the scenes.
Essentially, it’s all for some major resources.
For example, a certain mine, some are public resources, while some have been claimed by guilds and turned into private resources.
The major guilds keep fighting non-stop to compete for these resources.
Ye Qiu’s guild is one of the few that doesn’t get involved in these matters much.
Ye Qiu always felt like there was constant fighting among his people, and it seemed pointless.
Basically, isn’t it all about seeking personal gain?
If a guild monopolizes a mine and extracts various rare ores, they can create double value in both reality and the game.
Selling in-game currency for real money also supports many players financially.
Many guilds rely on this to survive, with their president paying salaries to members each month.
This is the current guild model, binding everyone together with benefits.
The resources that can be contested are definitely those outside the tower, while the resources inside the tower are public and cannot be fought over.
Therefore, in The Sealed Land, the following saying is gradually spreading.
Civilians develop inside the tower, while tycoons race wildly outside!
Ye Qiu’s guild was not created for money, so they rarely competed with other guilds for territory.
Over the years, as their guild members grew in number, a few vice presidents managed to secure some resource points.
Slowly operating the guild this way, they became one of the second-tier guilds in The Sealed Land.
Speaking of the first-tier guilds, there are quite a few.
One of them is Guild Casual, a trading guild that has teamed up with the Merchant Guild and currently holds 65% of the market in The Sealed Land!
This is top in terms of economy.
The top guild domestically is Yama’s Temple of Blasphemy, which holds the most resource points.
Most of their guild members are Undead Sorcerers, with some belonging to other secret schools.
They are all strong in combat, but have poor relationships with others, almost like enemies to everyone.
The members of the Forbidden Temple are not liked wherever they go. They act like mafia in a game, being bossy and intimidating.
It’s hard for regular players to stand up to them, and over time, the atmosphere in The Sealed Land has become more delicate.
It feels like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with various schools rising up to divide the land.
In simple terms, it’s like a sense of the mafia ruling the place.
It’s thanks to these people that the Merchant Guild and Guild Casual can develop their business.
It’s because of their strong-arm tactics and bossy behavior that their role as administrators becomes evident.
This is why they lower their transaction fees, to seem fair.
There’s a saying, "If there are no criminals, what use is a police officer?"
The Sealed Land is now maintaining this delicate balance, and the overall situation has almost stabilized.
Because there are no strong or outstanding individual players, now The Sealed Land relies purely on the number of people.
The more people you have, the stronger you are.
Ye Qiu patted the little boy on the head, signaling him to leave.
The shopkeeper didn’t say much, after all, the other party was also president of a big guild.
"Master Ye, are you here to see our president? Our president was mentioning you a few days ago!"
Ye Qiu turned to the shopkeeper, "Isn’t he busy at the front lines? How does he have time to talk about me?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Well, our president Master of Magic and you have always been friendly rivals, always mentioning each other."
"Isn’t the next competition coming soon? Our president has been eagerly waiting for this day to have a showdown with you!"
Ye Qiu smiled, "Oh, in that case, he might be disappointed, this time I don’t plan to compete with him."
"I don’t plan to compete anymore, is your president in town now?"
The boss nodded repeatedly, "Yes, definitely, should I show you the way to Master Ye?"
Ye Qiu shook his head, "That’s alright, I was here when this place was renovated, I still remember the way."
The boss chatted with Ye Qiu for a bit, then obediently went back to the store.
Ye Qiu waved for the mother and daughter to leave quickly, and they didn’t say much, just thanked him briefly and left.
It was obvious that they were still very afraid of the players.
It’s not their fault, after all, players have been causing trouble and dominating the game for a long time.
They really don’t consider these NPCs as people, they uphold an attitude of not trusting those who are different from them.
The two young girls were still a bit upset, standing there and gesturing towards the boss.
Ye Qiu saw this and shook his head sadly, they were only able to enjoy citizen rights now because their country was stronger.
Additionally, the king is a level seven powerhouse, if they were slightly weaker, they wouldn’t be able to enjoy the citizen rights of the Human Alliance.
But this situation couldn’t last too much longer.
When players overall strength reaches the level six, the highest strength of the level seven empire is insufficient.
Then, their fate can be easily imagined.
It’s nothing new, signing unequal treaties, stripping away citizen rights, and becoming a slave race under the Human Alliance.
There are many unclear hidden rules in the game now.
Players purchasing female slaves to enjoy are also some unspoken matters.
Governments of various countries cannot control what happens in the game. In this lawless place, players can really do whatever they want.
"Are you the only daughter of Duke Ziowulf?"
The woman turned her head upon hearing this. "Do you know me?"
Ye Qiu took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the girl. "When you go back, give this letter to your father and tell him that Human Alliance has agreed to it."
"He will have his way out then."
The girl paused for a moment. "What do you mean by a way out? What are you talking about?"
Faced with the girl’s questioning, Ye Qiu chose to remain silent.
A way out?
Haha.
The NPCs here are all smart. Seeing all those empires being taken over by the Human Alliance, who wouldn’t have thought about securing a way out for themselves?
Duke Ziowulf had already arranged with the Human Alliance for a way out for himself.
After the empire was invaded, he and his children would join the Human Alliance with their personal belongings, gaining the citizenship rights of the Human Alliance.
He would help the players to weaken the empire from within.
He made a deal with Ye Qiu, offering a family heirloom in exchange for protection after the empire’s fall.
Ye Qiu agreed, as this wasn’t the first time.
