Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 302 Cuckoo Chicken City
The meeting room at the Gugu Chicken Farm is a large, temporary room that doesn't even have a table, only a dozen or so rough stools.

When Gu Zhi'en and Gu Wei came in on Thursday, everyone was arguing fiercely. However, the people arguing were not the farm employees, but the players of Gu Gu Chicken Community.

"Anyway, there's a teleportation array! It's not far to go anywhere, is it? Why does it have to be right next to Chang'an City? It makes us seem like we're rushing to get there!"

"You have to consider transportation costs, right? Several of our farm's biggest buyers are in Chang'an! Have you calculated how much more transportation costs you'll incur if you don't rely on Chang'an?"

"So what! Right now, we, Gugu Chicken, have the sole market dominance! At worst, we'll just raise prices a bit! In the future, as we grow bigger and stronger, we'll leverage our brand power! What's a mere Chang'an City? Maybe in the future, we can even supply the entire Central Continent!"

"A monopoly my foot! Shennong Factory also has poultry farms! It's just that they didn't start with our systematic farming, and they were a step behind us, so they ended up being subordinate to our Gugu Chicken. Believe me, if you dare to raise prices, Shennong Factory will take off the moment you do! You should thank us for giving them market share!"

"Isn't a special economic zone being built over Longshan Port? I heard a lot of Quanxian people have come there, so their market share must be quite large, right?"

"You'd be better off choosing Rongyu than Longshan Port. Rongyu has such a large area and such a large population, yet there's only one Rongyu City. That's a huge market that's practically starving for growth!"

"But the ecosystem in Rongyu is already mature, and the NPCs there are so poor, how could they possibly afford to buy chickens!"

"Ordinary people are poor, but cultivators are not! There are tens of thousands of cultivators on Rongyu Mountain!"

"And what about the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people!"

"Doesn't that further prove the market is huge? Why don't we choose Rongyu?"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing,"

Thursday burst through the door and loudly stopped the players' argument, scolding them, "All I've heard you guys yelling all day is you, and not a single NPC has had a chance to say anything!"

I'm so tired of hearing everyone arguing that I'm already at my wit's end. When Thursday came over, I immediately stood up excitedly: "You've finally arrived!"

There weren't enough chairs in the room, and Gu Zhi'en, somewhat at a loss, pulled Gu Wei along, trying to squeeze into a corner by the door. But a coworker who had always been on good terms with her reached out and beckoned, "Zhi'en, sit with me!"

After Gu Zhi'en stopped Gu Wei to sit down, Wei Wowu cleared his throat and said, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's suggest a few potential landing locations and then vote to decide!"

This was a method that Weiwo and Thursday had discussed long ago. Thursday skillfully pulled out a notebook and a charcoal pencil from somewhere, ready to take notes at any time.

"I suggest staying here. If we can't settle here, we can go a little further out. After all, this place has convenient transportation and low transportation costs, which is beneficial for the development of the farm!"

"Hmph! What's the point of developing by affiliating with other communities! I think we should head south! We're situated between Chang'an City and Longshan Port, a transportation hub that will make it easier to capture market share in Longshan Port later!"

"Rongyu! Rongyu has a larger population and is more suitable!"

The players chattered excitedly about their preferred locations, while the NPCs nearby remained remarkably quiet, none of them daring to speak.

Although no one spoke up, Wei Wo Wu Shi wasn't about to let it go. She pressed the NPCs present, asking, "What about you? Do you have any opinions?"

The boldest man smiled ingratiatingly and said, "We...we don't know much about Zhongzhou either, so why would we have any objections..."

Wei Wo Wu quickly said, "Oh, how can that be! You are also part of our Gugu Chicken! Of course you have the right to exchange opinions!"

The man hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying, "Well, well, it's fine here too..." Before the others could respond, Gu Wei's clear voice suddenly rang out, "Don't we Gu Gu Chickens have two orchards? Why don't we go to Duguangzhiye?"

"The Fields of Tokugawa?"

The name left everyone puzzled.

Gu Zhi'en tugged at Gu Wei somewhat awkwardly and whispered to stop her, "Weiwei! Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not making this up!" Gu Wei, unusually stubborn, didn't stop. Instead, she continued reciting clearly, as if reciting a text: "The Field of Duguang is where the Jianmu tree grows. It was called Daze in ancient times, and it was where the god Duguang attained enlightenment, so it was later called 'The Field of Duguang.' The books say that the soil there is fertile, spring-like all year round, and there are countless rare herbs, flowers, fruits, and trees! So why not move there?"

As I listened, Wei Wushi became more interested: "Where is this 'Tohiro no Ya'?"

Gu Wei said confidently, "It's right in the south of Zhongzhou! It's where it connects with Wankuzhou. That vast swamp and part of southern Zhongzhou are much farther away than Rongyu!"

Upon hearing this, one player immediately exclaimed in shock: "Huh? Not even Rong Yuyuan yet? That can't be right!?"

Gu Wei's face flushed red with anxiety: "Really! It's the map we just learned about!"

On Thursday, he flipped through the game map with some hesitation and casually remarked, "But it's not showing up on the map in our game system?"

She didn't think Gu Wei was lying, but she couldn't understand why this place wasn't marked in the game system.

Weiwo Wushi seemed thoughtful: "The map can only be unlocked in places that we players have been to, right? But if that place really is Hironono, then it's definitely worth considering! After all, milk tea ingredients are a major expense right now! We need to open more processing plants and orchards!"

"Not necessarily. Not many players wander around Rongyu Mountain, but the entire area is still open to the public!"

"But that's still very far! If the city is located in the wilderness of Hiroshi, what about the transportation costs?"

"All you know is transportation costs! Transportation costs definitely won't be a big problem in the future! We can always use teleportation arrays for transportation in the future! Anyway, the teleportation arrays have been expanded so much now!"

"Then we'll have to hire a dedicated NPC! And a cultivator at that! That'll be expensive!"

"Why hire NPCs! Let's do it ourselves! The guild leader has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Good heavens! When did she secretly reach the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

"What do you mean by 'behind everyone's back'? It's clearly behind your back! You need to reflect on this!"

Seeing that the topic had veered off course, Wei Wushi quickly raised his voice to bring everyone's attention back and said, "Alright, alright, since everyone has their own ideas, let's vote!"

Soon, the voting results greatly surprised everyone. The "Duguang Plain" that Gu Wei mentioned actually topped the list by a huge margin!

"Alright! Then it's decided to move to Hironono!"

Wei Wo, beaming with delight, said, "I've already thought of a name for the city! It'll be called Cuckoo Chicken!"
