Chapter 71 A+ guild copy "Hollow Knight"!
The sixth-level guild seems to be only one level higher than the fifth-level guild.
But when a guild is upgraded to the sixth level, it will gain an additional privilege - copy rental!
The guild leader can set a copy card as a guild copy.
In addition to guild members being able to enter freely, it is also open to non-guild members.
You only need to pay a certain amount of entrance fee to enter a designated copy once.
This authority has also become one of the main sources of income for guilds at level six and above.
Especially some precious copy cards, the charges are very high.
"However, each dungeon card has a limited amount of rewards. The more times you enter, the less rewards you will get. Master A, you can simply think of it as something like durability."
In the Kirigakure Guild, inside Lu Qianqian’s boudoir.
At this moment, she was carefully answering questions for Xu Mu who was sitting opposite her.
Although she had prepared herself mentally, Lu Qianqian couldn't help but feel her heart beating wildly when facing Xu Mu.
On the one hand, the sense of oppression brought by players who are about to reach the divine realm is too strong, especially for people like Lu Qianqian who have experienced it firsthand.
On the other hand, at the invitation of his own president, Boss A stayed in the Kirigakure Guild for one night, and showed some interest in the "copy rental" that the president mentioned casually.
Therefore, the president gave this opportunity to himself, allowing him to be alone in a room with God A and explain to him the causes and consequences of "copy rental" in detail.
"Remember to wear something...um...something seductive. You know what I mean, right?" Shao Jing reminded Lu Qianqian before leaving.
"But I'm not that type normally..." Lu Qianqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Is style important? Or is the future development of the Kirigakure Guild important? If Boss A-God can show the slightest interest in you, won't he be considered half a son-in-law of our Kirigakure Guild in the future? The father-in-law guild of the god-level players, if I tell others about this, won't I have to benefit from it too?" Shao Jing rubbed his hands and smiled.
"Besides, if you don't seize this opportunity, based on what I've observed about President Haoyu's character today, he will push Mo Rou out to get closer to God A in a minute. You've lost to Mo Rou so many times, don't you want to win once?"
"But..." Lu Qianqian wanted to say something else, but then she heard Shao Jing showing off his three old tricks again.
What about 'Five years ago, I saw you were helpless and without a father or a mother, so I picked you up and raised you as my daughter, and I am half your adoptive father', 'Girls grow up and become wild, and don't listen to their father', 'Alas, our family is unlucky...'
Lu Qianqian was so overwhelmed by this that she finally agreed reluctantly.
But after thinking for a long time, she still didn't know what kind of clothes would be considered seductive, so Lu Qianqian could only take out a cool little camisole from the closet and wear a more fashionable miniskirt.
Looked in the mirror.
A white neck, smooth shoulders, and snow-white thighs.
In short, she was exposed to the limit of her psychological tolerance.
Of course, it wasn't that she would do it just because Shao Jing asked her to.
The main thing was that not long ago, when God A was talking with a group of guild leaders in the guild hall, Lu Qianqian was standing aside, ready to pour tea for the leaders at any time, and happened to see Xu Mu taking off his windbreaker.
Under his messy hair, he has a handsome outline and upright facial features, a strong but not excessive physique, clear speech, and a gentle tone that is neither humble nor arrogant.
Plus a strong strength.
It simply interprets perfection to the extreme!
It is indeed very attractive to Lu Qianqian.
If such a person is snatched away by Mo Rou...
"I feel like the straps could be a little shorter." Lu Qianqian gritted her teeth and said she was determined to give it a try!
Then she changed into a small sling that could reveal her belly button.
This is already the hottest part! It can't get any hotter!
However, Lu Qianqian felt a little regretful.
Since Xu Mu entered her room, he never glanced at her. The whole time he was either staring at her face or looking out the window, as if he was thinking about something.
"Does your Wuyin Guild also have copies for rent to others?" After hearing Lu Qianqian's introduction to the rental copies, Xu Mu thought about it and asked.
"Of course, there are several more." Lu Qianqian said without reservation.
For a big shot of this level, if you hesitate to speak, it will cause disgust, so Lu Qianqian answered all the questions.
"What's the highest level copy?"
"Well... Currently, the highest-rated rental copy of the Kirigakure Guild is the A+-rated "Hollow Knight", and it's newly released, with a profit rate of around 98%, and plenty of rewards!" Lu Qianqian enthusiastically promoted the advantages of her own guild.
"Then how much does it cost to enter once?" Xu Mu asked again.
"Under normal circumstances, the charging standard is 500 Red Moon Coins per person. However, if you are interested, Boss A, I can make the decision and waive it for you!" Lu Qianqian said with a smile.
At this time, the swelling on her cheeks had subsided, and she looked particularly beautiful when she smiled.
Even Xu Mu felt a little bit sorry for it, and sighed that he had indeed been a bit too harsh just now.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Before it is clear whether this group of people are hostile, even if it is for self-protection, he will be ruthless to those who take the initiative to attack. This is Xu Mu's usual style of doing things.
But then again, it’s really easy to make money from this sixth-level guild.
According to the current market price of A+ grade copy cards, it fluctuates around tens of millions. Some are cheaper and some are more expensive. If calculated based on the average price of 50 million.
500 Red Moon Coins were equivalent to an entry price of 50,000 per copy. It would only take 1,000 people to buy the copy entry ticket from the guild to make a profit.
The rest is profit.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some players are more powerful and get more rewards in the copy.
The total revenue consumption for leasing copy cards is high.
If there are a few more players like this, hundreds or even dozens of them, all the value of this card can be drained away.
Guilds that rent copies will not only fail to make money, but will lose money instead.
But overall, it's just like eating at a buffet.
It is possible that there are a small number of diners who can make back their spending, but overall, buffet restaurants still make more money.
"What if it wasn't me, but some of my guild members who wanted to download these copies?" Xu Mu asked further.
He has always wanted to raise the average strength of all guild members.
The higher the level of the dungeon they play, the faster their guild's experience points will grow.
However, the guild copy of the fifth-level guild can only accommodate a limited number of players.
Coincidentally, the copy rental of the sixth-level guild fills this gap.
"If you are a member of your guild, Boss A, I can also make the decision and give you a 50% discount!" Lu Qianqian replied with a smile.
"Is that so? Thank you very much, Miss Lu." Xu Mu nodded, expressed his gratitude, and stood up to leave.
"Hey, wait... wait a minute, Boss A..." Lu Qianqian stammered and called out to Xu Mu.
"Um?"
"Um...what do you think of my outfit today..." Lu Qianqian gritted her teeth and asked this question.
While speaking, she stretched her long legs out of the table.
Two small and delicate bare feet were dangling in the air.
The two looked at each other.
The room was quiet.
Xu Mu looked Lu Qianqian up and down for a few times before nodding.
"Keep warm."
After saying that, he strode out of Lu Qianqian's room.
Lu Qianqian was left alone in the messy room.
How come I say I love you, but all you think about is business?
Are you really going to just walk away as soon as the business deal is concluded?
Can't you just take one more look?
…
The next day.
After Xu Mu returned to the City of the Sea.
Shao Jing hurriedly pulled Lu Qianqian over to ask about the situation.
"Qianqian, did you sleep alone last night?"
"What else?" Lu Qianqian said unhappily.
"Tsk." Shao Jing heard this, looking disappointed. He shook his head and sighed, "You are useless even though I gave you a chance... No wonder Mo Rou, our neighbor next door, is so outstanding."
"Stop it! Big Boss A won't buy this!" When Lu Qianqian mentioned this, she lost her temper: "This time, even if you call Mo Rou, it will be the same. Mo Rou is not as pretty as me, humph!"
"You! You obviously have no experience in dating, and you still like to argue with me! If you don't believe me, review yesterday's conversation with me? I promise I can find the problem for you!"
"Come on! Let's review it!" Lu Qianqian was not convinced and recounted yesterday's conversation in one breath.
Shao Jing analyzed it carefully and immediately grasped the key point.
"Did he tell you to keep warm?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"He cares about you!"
"????"
"Why didn't he tell me to keep warm? Why did he tell you? Does this mean that you are special?"
After a while, Lu Qianqian found herself at a loss for words to refute.
I always feel like something is wrong, but I also feel that what Shao Jing said is flawless.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Qianqian felt like her little brain was about to burn.
"Besides, I'm telling you, kid, why are you so ignorant!" Shao Jing continued to criticize, "God A wants his guild's players to play in our rental dungeon. What a great opportunity for collaboration!"
"Look at what you did? You actually asked him for money? And you asked for a 50% discount right away? Why don't you just rob him!!"
"Dad, stop for a moment. This seems to be our own copy... Isn't it normal to charge money..." Lu Qianqian was speechless.
"It's because he's a big shot that I'm giving him a 50% discount, which is the biggest discount. If it were someone else, the maximum discount would be 20%, and even if you're familiar with him, the starting discount is 20%."
Although everyone knows that there are many benefits if one can be on good terms with this God A who is about to reach the God level.
But dad, you are too attentive! You want to give it to people for free!
If someone doesn’t know you, they would think you have some special hobby.
"You are too small. You are a small-minded kid!" Shao Jing scolded, "Change your way of thinking."
"A guild founded by a quasi-god-level boss, how could the players they recruit have bad talents? They can't all be a bunch of D-level, C-level, etc., right?"
"They must all start out as A-level or even A+-level players."
"For players like this, the benefits of playing dungeons of the same level as themselves are not high to begin with, and the rewards they can get are not much at best."
"The rewards we get are not much, which means that the wear and tear on our guild's dungeon cards will not be high."
"After a round, the profit of our guild's dungeon cards is still at least 80%. You use the 20% profit of an A+ grade dungeon card to exchange for the favor of A God. Is that a big loss?"
"You actually asked for money! Isn't that too much?"
"Not only can we not charge any fees, but our guild will even provide you with thoughtful services along the way!"
Lu Qianqian tilted her head and thought for a long time.
I feel like there is nothing wrong with what my dad said.
You can get a favor from the A-level boss by taking 20% of the profit from an A+-level copy card.
Not only did you not lose money, you made a lot of money!
"Then I'll contact Boss A right away and tell him that all copies of Hollow Knight are free?" Lu Qianqian asked for his opinion.
"Yeah, that's right." Shao Jing looked at Lu Qianqian who finally got it, and he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.
"Go ahead. Also, ask the core members of the guild not to go into their own dungeons for the next few days, and be ready to lead the members of the A-God Boss Guild. Ask the core members to change their usual arrogance and be gentler in their attitude!"
"You have to max out my favorability rating!"
"Yes." Lu Qianqian nodded.
Shao Jing looked at Lu Qianqian's leaving back and sighed secretly in his heart.
My little girl Qianqian is good in every way. She is pretty and talented, but she lacks a bit of brains.
Isn’t it just 20% of the copy card income?
Qianqian is so petty, she will never achieve anything great!
the next day.
When Shao Jing received the notice from Lu Qianqian, he was dumbfounded.
He just put up the A+ grade copy of "Hollow Knight" a few days ago
It was only open to Ready Player One members for free for one day.
The profit rate has dropped to zero...
"Are you sure they didn't enter the wrong copy?" Shao Jing swallowed.
This was bought for nearly 70 million...
It’s no longer spicy in the blink of an eye?
"Yes, it is." Lu Qianqian nodded.
"How is that possible! Even if an A-level player clears this dungeon with an S rating, the maximum loss to our dungeon cards is about 1%!"
"Dad, the highest guild members of Boss A are only B-level... If we clear an A+ level dungeon with an S rating, we will receive a large number of cross-level dungeon rewards, which will deduct 5% of our dungeon card wear and tear..."
"What?" Shao Jing looked confused.
The highest level of members in the No. 1 Player Guild is only B-?
What is going on?
Is this the unique way of thinking of big guys?
It's really hard to figure out.
"So how many of them have passed the level?" Shao Jing asked again.
"Not many people have made it through. Even with our core members leading the way, only 11 out of a thousand people have made it through, and the highest record is only a C rating, which is barely enough to make it through." Lu Qianqian paused, and asked with some concern: "Dad, but there are so many of them, and their average strength is D and C level. Even if they die in the middle of an A+ level dungeon, they will get extra incentive rewards... This consumes too much dungeon cards... Should we continue to open it for free tomorrow?"
Shao Jing immediately sneered: "I told you yesterday that you have a narrow mindset. Why can't you open your mind a little more?"
"What's wrong with me!" Lu Qianqian pouted a little aggrieved, feeling sorry for the guild's little money that was wasting away.
"You think so?" Shao Jing taught carefully, "Even with our core members leading the way, their clearance rate is not high."
"That shows that their ceiling is here. Let's not talk about why A-shen wants to recruit this group of players. Even if we assume that their expenses are 50 to 60 million per day."
"But the big boss A comes to your place every day to steal your gold. If he touches you too many times, he will always feel guilty, right?"
"If I had told you anything about the opportunity to ascend to the Godly Stage, it wouldn't be something that could be bought with tens of millions of dollars."
"Okay, okay." Lu Qianqian pouts helplessly and agrees: "I'll get the copy repair fluid to fix the profitability of Hollow Knight."
Items such as copy repair fluid and potential preservation box are special items that have a chance to be produced in all copies.
However, the former is much more expensive.
For example, for an A+ grade copy, if the benefit is reduced to zero, in order to fill it up, at least 60 million repair fluid resources will be consumed.
The price is almost the same as buying an A+ copy card, it just saves the difference in the auction house.
"If there are similar situations in the future, don't consult me. I just have one thing to say." Shao Jing waved his hand domineeringly: "Just fill it up for Master A!"
After Lu Qianqian left, Shao Jing walked around the room rubbing his hands, calculating the approximate profit.
Although he flattered A-God on the surface, deep down, Shao Jing had his own plans.
Judging from the loss of revenue from its own guild's copy by the No. 1 Player Guild.
The daily expenditure is about 50 to 60 million.
It will definitely be a loss.
But it's like buying favor with money.
Before the advent of the copy era, how many brainless fans would scramble for the peripheral products of those traffic stars at high prices?
Some successful business people can charge astronomical prices for a meal.
Nowadays, the copy has arrived and strength is respected.
A player who is about to reach the God Realm is placed here. Many people are trying their best to get close to him but they don’t have the chance!
Spend your own money to buy favors.
It's a bit more expensive, but that's reasonable.
What can be bought with money is nothing.
Isn’t it just 50 or 60 million a day?
Just make it!
Come on! Ready Player One! Show me your limits!
Our Kirigakure Guild is big and powerful, and the thing we have the most is money!
…
"After a day of A+-level dungeon experience, I believe everyone has a general understanding of Hollow Knight."
Dimensional Realm, the number one player online guild.
Xu Mugang upgraded the guild's thatched hut into a large pavilion, spending nearly 20 million yuan. He was finally able to barely allow the 1,000 members who had been recruited in the past few days to settle down in the guild.
Similarly, the 20 million also made Xu Mu feel extremely painful.
The housing prices in the Metaverse are too high this time.
He killed his way through the levels, getting SSS ratings, and now his net worth is just over 100 million.
Upgrading the guild decoration will directly reduce the value by 20%
Of course, this is mainly because many of the treasures obtained from the copies, which are worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, were kept by Xu Mu for his own use and not sold to others.
And the most valuable strategies in their hands are rarely sold to others.
Otherwise, if Xu Mu claims to be the second richest man in the world just by selling guides, then no one would dare to be the richest man in the world!
Xu Mu estimated that there were not many people who could climb up from the bottom and save up 100 million yuan by relying solely on the rewards for clearing dungeons.
At this time, he was standing in the center of the guild hall, pulling out a light screen.
I originally wanted to spend money to buy an admission ticket, but unexpectedly, the Kirigakure Guild opened up admission to its own A+ level "Hollow Knight" dungeon for free.
Xu Mu simply decided to go with the flow and think about other ways to repay the favor to the Kirigakure Guild.
To be honest, the results of the first day were not ideal.
Our guild recruits a group of low-level players with high loyalty but low upper limits.
Their talents and understanding are relatively poor.
Even if you throw the strategy guide in their faces, without the familiarization process, it will be difficult for them to achieve good results.
Therefore, Xu Mu tried not to provide guides, so that everyone could get familiar with the game for a day first. They didn’t need to worry about the dungeon results and could just play freely.
Moreover, the core members of the Kirigakure Guild were providing support all the way.
Their grades weren't good either.
Only 11 out of 1,000 people managed to pass the level, and most of them died on the way.
Of course, Xu Mu knew it in his heart.
The difficulty of the "Hollow Knight" dungeon itself is quite high.
In its previous life, this game was considered abnormal and was extremely unfriendly to those with clumsy characters. Even the challenges from some main bosses were difficult to deal with, so many players gave up the game directly midway.
Although players in the dungeon world have combat power bonuses, they mostly rely on thoughts to initiate real-time combat, and their reaction speed is several times higher than in their previous lives.
But it is still extremely difficult to get a high rating.
Just considering the core difficulty, if you want to get an SSS rating, Xu Mu feels that it can be upgraded to an S-level copy.
However, perhaps it is because there are many clever ways to deal with the BOSS, such as standing output points in various blind spots and flexible use of rune combinations.
So much so that "Hollow Knight" was downgraded to A+ by Yggdrasil.
This difficulty level of the dungeon has already brought little improvement to Xu Mu, otherwise Xu Mu would have wanted to try to beat it.
Pulling open the light screen, it was filled with the detailed guide to "Hollow Knight" that Xu Mu had already compiled.
Including but not limited to, the detailed location of each area map, the unlocking path of important runes, the method of obtaining enhanced skills, and the blind spot output of various BOSSes, or how to rush through by replacing the corresponding runes.
The PPT, which is dozens of pages long, covers every detail.
All the members of Ready Player One were stunned!
This was the first time that everyone present had seen such a detailed strategy guide since the dungeon was opened!
"It contains several times more information than any detailed guide I bought on the forum..."
"Boss, you are too petty!"
"As expected of our boss, you can easily come up with strategies for A+-level dungeons..."
"A player who has reached the long steps of the Godhood is laughing with you?"
Of course, what they didn’t know was that the complete strategy in Xu Mu’s hands contained more than three times more content than this!
The reason why I didn’t give a complete guide.
On the one hand, even if they were really given it, they would not be able to understand it at this stage.
Secondly, the guild was established not long ago, and many things need to be settled. Sometimes being reserved is not necessarily a bad thing.
"I will send these strategies to each of your Blood Moon Emblem communicators later. You can carry them out in real time in the dungeon and follow the strategies. There should be basically no problem in clearing the dungeon." Xu Mu said with a faint smile.
"Wow, Boss, you're so good to us... We are all so ordinary, but you spare no effort to cultivate us..." A big watermelon was a cute girl, and her voice was a little choked with sobs.
"Yes, I've been working hard in the dungeon in the past few years, and I've seen people's indifference. But this is the first time I've met someone as selfless as the boss." Xinhuo Xiangchuan is a middle-aged man with more social experience than other young people in the guild, but he has never seen someone like Xu Mu who is willing to share a strategy worth thousands of dollars directly, and he was deeply moved for a moment.
"Well, there's nothing more to say. All I have to do is perform well in the dungeon and try to get more guild experience points to repay the boss!" Gu Jie was even more eager to try.
He remembered clearly what Xu Mu did to stand up for him yesterday.
Today, I just recovered from my injury and went to a low-level dungeon early in the morning. I can't wait to report back to the No. 1 Player Guild.
If you don’t have enough talent, then make up for it with hard work!
"Okay, I won't say anything more. I just want to emphasize one point." Xu Mu looked around at everyone and continued, "Our guild doesn't have as many rules and regulations as other guilds. In addition to abiding by the most basic moral ethics of being a human being, I only have one request."
After a pause, Xu Mu said in a serious tone, "Strategies must not be leaked! Private transactions on the forum or offline are not allowed. Xiao Ai Butler can check the source of any of your copy transactions, and violators will be expelled from the guild directly!"
"Yes!" A chorus of voices from the audience answered firmly.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. You can start today's Hollow Knight dungeon. There was no strategy yesterday, but now that we have a detailed strategy..."
Xu Mu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Let me see your limits!"
He watched as everyone transformed into a flash of red light and left the guild hall one after another.
Soon, Xu Mu was the only one left in the bustling guild.
He called Xiao Ai and gently stroked the little guy's head.
While his favorability increased by +1, Xu Mu was also thinking in his mind.
Counting the days, the monthly Red Moon instance is only a few days away.
According to previous practice, every Red Moon dungeon that descends is a super-large multiplayer dungeon of the entire population!
A wider dungeon map!
A more sinister and cunning confrontation!
Of course, there are more generous rewards than regular copies!
Even Xu Mu did not expect his own guild members to provide him with any help.
However, the dungeon settlement rewards that a sixth-level guild can obtain are 30 percentage points more than those of a fifth-level guild!
This is also a huge improvement for Xu Mu.
"I just don't know what the Red Moon dungeon will be like this time. I hope it's one that I'm familiar with." There was a glimmer of anticipation in Xu Mu's eyes.
Setting details: When a copy card is used personally, it will be consumed directly.
If placed in the guild copy column, the copy card will not be consumed directly, but the benefit will slowly decrease, and there is a limit to the benefit.
Therefore, the benefits of personal copy cards are the highest. If you are lucky, you can get priceless top-level props, which are not available in guild copy cards.
Therefore, how to choose depends entirely on the players themselves, as both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Then the highest copy card placed by the sixth-level guild is A+ level, and the highest copy card placed by the fifth-level guild is A level.
Therefore, it will not happen that the protagonist gets an S-level copy card and throws it directly into the guild copy column for everyone to share.
The protagonist will always be the first to profit and the biggest beneficiary, please rest assured.
