Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 513 Bright Summit University City
[Handsome Guy] was genuinely pleasantly surprised.

Although I knew long ago that this game had a high degree of freedom, and that the pros and veterans on the forums kept emphasizing that "you have to give full play to your initiative" so that you have a higher chance of triggering the hidden gold missions and various little easter eggs, nothing beats experiencing it for yourself!
Only now has [Handsome Guy] vaguely grasped the concept – that as long as you experience "Ten Continents Chronicle" as a real world and actively propose or create ideas, you can get better game feedback!
Completely oblivious to anything amiss, the handsome guy happily signed several documents without even glancing at them—of course, who would meticulously read the in-game contracts during a game!

Then, I hurriedly logged off before clocking in for work in the afternoon.

……

Since the limited-time battlegrounds were closed, players have gradually returned to their normal routines of running dungeons, exploring new areas, and roaming around.

The newly launched apprenticeship system has stirred up some buzz, but not much – there's plenty of fun content out there, and the apprenticeship system is unlikely to attract a large number of players.

In a sense, the lack of enthusiasm for this gameplay actually made Fang Xianyu feel more relieved.

To her surprise, a project she hadn't paid attention to and had just been approved suddenly sparked a huge discussion and participation among players!

It is the "Guangmingding University Town" project!
"I can barely understand this 'university town,' since your work is indeed related to education, but why is it called 'Bright Summit'!?"

At the She-yi base, which [Handsome Guy] had just landed at and which was named "Bright Peak," Tangyuan asked with a puzzled look.

The handsome young man spread his hands and explained confidently, "The community I bought at a high price is called 'Bright Peak'!"

Tangyuan pointed incredulously to the bare ground beneath her feet: "You call this little mound 'Bright Summit'?!"

"What's the matter?"

[Handsome Guy] argued confidently, "The so-called 'Bright Summit,' 'brightness' is a metaphor! It's a symbol! It's a beautiful wish! Besides, this little mound doesn't have a name, right? So I'll name it 'Bright Summit,' what's wrong with that!"

[Handsome Guy]'s overly confident attitude left Tangyuan speechless for a moment. She took a breath before pointing to the players around her who were chatting excitedly and asking, "What about these players? Why did you bring so many players here? Do you have the money to pay them?!"

The handsome guy smiled smugly and said confidently, "Although I don't have money, they do!"

Then, he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from somewhere, on which was drawn a concentric circle with several circles of scribbles.

The center of the circle is a solid black dot, marked with the words "Tower of Light". From the tower, it extends outward in layers. The inner layer is a ring composed of four arc-shaped quadrilaterals, the middle layer is a ring composed of eight arc-shaped quadrilaterals, and the outermost layer is a ring composed of sixteen arc-shaped quadrilaterals, which also form a larger ring area.

Each of the curved quadrilateral areas was also marked. Some were marked with the name of the community, such as "Longshan Community", "Heroic Spirit Endures Community", and "Chang'an Community", while others had even stranger names, such as "Dragon and Gundam Art Academy" and "New Dongda Culinary Technology Academy", which were completely baffling.

"Look, the first batch of land for the Bright Summit University City I designed has already been auctioned off. Except for the four in the middle that I reserved for myself, there aren't any other plots left!" [Handsome Guy] gestured excitedly. "I was thinking, one person's plan is short-lived, but many people's plans are long-lasting. Anyway, the sect said that this matter can be done entirely according to my own ideas, so I might as well use the sect's support as a pretext and put it up for public bidding. All players can claim a plot of land in the name of a community or group, and then build their own planned academy and teach the courses they can teach. This way, we can save a lot of money and also boost the popularity of the entire university city!"

At this point, the "handsome guy" simply put his hands on his hips, raised his chin, and said, "So, am I smart? Don't you think I'm handsome, dashing, charming, and incredibly witty?"

Tangyuan felt there was more to say than done.

While this method is indeed ingenious—like a kitten climbing a tree—but…

"Handsome my foot! This 'Dragon and Gundam Art Academy' looks utterly unreliable! What kind of nonsense do you expect it to teach!?"

"It doesn't matter. These academies are mostly self-sufficient in terms of enrollment and curriculum. I'll only allocate a small portion for building maintenance. I plan to set up the main basic courses in these four areas, including basic cultivation methods, social life and survival skills, and the most basic language and writing..."

"Oh, right! Look here, this Bright Tower in the middle is the one I specially reserved. I plan to build a super tall and huge tower, which will be the main accommodation area for teachers and students and the canteen. But at the very top, I also plan to set up a large platform for 'Dragon Stopping Platform'. Hmm... what do you think of calling it 'Dragon Stopping Platform'? Wouldn't it be too straightforward and impolite?"

As they talked, [Handsome Guy] even started thinking about it seriously, while Tangyuan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "What the hell is this for 'stopping the dragon'?! It sounds too ridiculous!"

Unexpectedly, as if reminded, [Handsome Guy] clapped his hands, his face full of sudden realization: "You're right! We can't use 'Dragon-Stopping Platform'! After all, there are definitely more than just dragons that can fly! I remember there are quite a few flying demon cultivators in the Du Guang Kingdom, and I don't know what race the King of Du Guang is, but he listens to the big guy! How about we just call it 'Ji-Stopping Plain,' you know what 'Ji' means, hehehehe..."

Tangyuan was exhausted by the sudden outpouring of all sorts of wild ideas from [Handsome Guy]: "I don't understand you at all! Can you please stop using such lewd language! Besides, the animation only talks about anthropomorphic airplanes. What connection do demon cultivators have with airplanes, for goodness sake!"

[Handsome Guy] considered himself a very humble person, so he decisively abandoned the name he had just copied from the animation and hesitated, saying, "Then what should I do? How about just calling it 'Landing Platform'?"

Tangyuan pointed blankly at the bare ground beneath her feet: "Please wake up! Whether it's your so-called Tower of Light or landing platform, does it even have a shadow?!"

[Handsome Guy] couldn't help but let his gaze wander a little: "Ahem, you have to plan things out! I'll start planning first! Besides, look how enthusiastically they're doing things in other communities!"

The communities led by established communities such as Chang'an Community and Haoqi Changcun Community are indeed bustling with activity, even drawing in some players and communities who don't quite understand why so many high-level players and veterans are being swept up in this frenzy of infrastructure building.

In response, Wang Ergou and Nietzsche, who had received countless private messages trying to get information and test the waters, both remained tight-lipped, only vaguely saying, "It's beneficial."

Privately, Wang Ergou complained in the project team's group chat: "What benefits are there?! I only came to help out because I was responding to the project team's call, so I claimed a piece of land! Who knows what the other villagers are thinking! They all have to follow me around, doing whatever I do! Do they love me that much?!"

Nietzsche replied helplessly, "Who says otherwise? I was just thinking that our community is quite good at weapon crafting and forging, so maybe we could open an academy in this field and train some native technicians to bring to Martial King City. Who would have thought they would follow suit!"

On the other side, the boss of Longshan frowned as he looked at the plan in his hand, shaking his head and saying, "No, no, our plan is too ordinary! Look how much importance Chang'an and Haoqi Changcun attach to this matter, there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes!"
