Building a sect from scratch.

"Talking about money would be too formal. I'll organize the documents and send them to you online later!"

Wang Ergou wasn't stingy; after all, he still remembered the mission assigned to him by his superiors—to be a good leader among the players and foster a positive overall gaming atmosphere! Therefore, he was more than happy if other communities wanted to copy Chang'an City's system! Didn't this mean that the cities built by other communities would be as harmonious as Chang'an City?

However, Wei Wo Wu Shi had no intention of taking advantage: "How could that be? I heard that the CEO of Longshan bought his position with money!"

"Ahem, I, I later withdrew...most of it," Wang Ergou said somewhat awkwardly, "At the time, it was just a joke, I didn't expect him to actually give it to me..."

"Pfft..."

Zhao Qing, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but laugh out loud, but fortunately she still had some sense of camaraderie and didn't expose Wang Ergou.

Actually, when the boss of Longshan wanted to buy those plans and designs, he was swindled out of a lot of money by Wang Ergou. As a result, this matter accidentally reached Elder Lu Ying's side. Wang Ergou was forced to write a self-criticism of several thousand words and was locked in a small room for a long time for special education!
As the saying goes, "once bitten, twice shy," after what happened with the boss of Longshan, Wang Ergou finally learned his lesson and dared not try to make money in such a place again. In fact, he was already rich. The reason he tricked the boss of Longshan was just because he had a strange mentality that "giving up a chance to make a fortune is equivalent to losing a hundred million."

The group chatted and laughed for several hours, even playing countless rounds of Dou Dizhu (a card game) before finally arriving at their destination.

As for why I'm so sure we've arrived...

"What a huge tree!"

I stared dumbfounded at the distant, indistinct, cloud-covered tree canopies and trunks so thick they defied description, almost speechless.

“This should be the Jianmu tree. Within the Ten Continents and Three Islands, there is no tree taller than it.” Xin Yi stopped the flying boat in mid-air and said, “If we continue further, we may enter the territory of the Duguang Kingdom. I can already sense the oppressive aura of the King of Duguang!”

It took me quite a while to come to my senses, and then I eagerly asked Xinyi, "What kind of country is this Duguang Kingdom? Do you know anything about it, sir?"

Xin Yi said with difficulty, "This... I'm not quite sure either... Du Guang Kingdom has always been isolated from the outside world. Several hundred years ago, some small sects that didn't believe in evil tried to probe it, but they all failed. So, no news about Du Guang Kingdom has been reported since."

Zhao Qing asked in confusion, "What about the Penglai Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect? Don't they contact them either? And what about the Fu Lu Shou Merchant Guild? Isn't it said that there's nowhere in the Ten Continents and Three Islands they can't go? Don't they trade with the Du Guang Kingdom?"

Xin Yi replied, "King Du Guang attained godhood three thousand years ago. How could other sects, with their various immortals and gods, dare to act presumptuously in front of her? However, it seems that Fu Lu Shou does have dealings with them, and occasionally you can encounter them selling some rare and precious materials from Du Guang Kingdom. But the dealings should not be frequent, because the Du Guang region is rich in resources, and Du Guang Kingdom is a place dominated by demon cultivators. In their eyes, they probably don't need to associate with human cultivators!"

There was very little information about the Kingdom of Duguang, and everyone was unsure of what to do. After thinking it over, Zhao Qing asked Wang Ergou, "Ergou, do you think we should pay them a visit?"

"hiss……"

Wang Ergou gasped for breath, his mind still filled with hesitation.

If this is just a game, then go for it. Where can't you just go recklessly in a game?

But this is a real alternate world! And now he's on the government payroll, and he also has to consider diplomatic issues—if Wang Ergou messes up the first meeting between the main human and demon forces in the future history textbooks of the Guixu Realm, it won't just be a matter of a few self-criticisms!

“Well then, let me ask you something first,” Wang Ergou turned to Wei Wo Wushi and asked, “Do you Gugu Chickens plan to land in the Duguang Plains, or in the Hundred Thousand Mountains outside where you can see the Jianmu Tree?” Wei Wo Wushi’s spiritual senses twitched, a rare occurrence. She swallowed hard and whispered, “I think… I’ll stick with the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I have a feeling that the Duguang Plains aren’t easy to get into…”

Wang Ergou inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief: "I think so too! Anyway, it's near the Hiroshino Plain, so it should be pretty much the same!"

Xin Yi said, "Alas, the difference is quite significant! The reason why the Duguang Plain is called the Duguang Plain is because of the Duguang King! It is because she has been controlling the Duguang Plain that this place has become a fertile land!"

"Ah this..."

These words left everyone completely perplexed.

"Let's land here for now!" After much hesitation, Wei Wo Wu Shi finally made up his mind and actually operated the system to successfully land the city directly below the flying boat!
Then the game map was updated, and an announcement popped up in the world chat.

Congratulations on the successful establishment of [Gugu Chicken Village]! The new city teleportation array [Gugu Chicken City] is now open!

Wang Ergou was surprised by the name the other person had chosen and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! That's a really creative name!"

Unexpectedly, Weiwowushi complained: "Hey! I felt from the beginning that the names you guys chose were all too formal! It makes me feel like I've traveled back in time when I play games, and I feel restricted in everything I do!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing felt guilty and her eyes darted around.

Wang Ergou continued without changing his expression, "Hey, isn't it just to make it sound more impressive? You see, when we're in limited-time battlefields or outdoor activities, we directly call for people to shout 'Chang'an City,' it sounds more reliable!"

"Huh? It does seem so!"

I, Wei, thought about what would happen if we formed a large group in the future. Everyone else would be shouting slogans like "Prosperous Chang'an" or "Longshan will surely win," but what would Gugu Chicken shout? "Gugu Chicken is invincible"? That would just make us look inferior!

Zhao Qing comforted her, "They each have their own unique features! Anyway, you've already made it, so there's no going back! Besides, 'Cuckoo Chicken City' sounds pretty cute!"

“I don’t regret it, after all, it was a name everyone had already decided on,” Weiwowushi explained, “but the name does sound rather unimpressive…”

Wang Ergou chuckled and joked, "Then you can choose to call it 'The Impressive Cuckoo Chicken City,' hehe!"

Unexpectedly, Weiwo Wuji's eyes lit up, and he actually started to consider the feasibility of this matter.

"A custom name is definitely not an option, as it exceeds the character limit! But we can customize a city gate banner, or put a plaque on the city gate that says 'The Imposing Cuckoo Chicken City'!"
