Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 155 Persuasion, the idea of ​​going overseas

Xiao Qingli asked curiously:
Where have you been lately?

Facing the surprised looks of the crowd, Su Yu chuckled and said:

"I went overseas."

"But it's not for refuge; it's to find relatives. My second brother is overseas."

Chu Xinyue immediately asked:
"did you find it?"

“Found him. My second brother is on Jinjiao Island overseas. He is a disciple of Master Mingsu of Mingsu Palace on Jinjiao Island.”

"Master Mingsu?"

Everyone was quite surprised, and Chu Xinyue nodded and said:

“Master Mingsu is a highly skilled cultivator, possessing the appearance of an Earth Immortal. Your second brother seems to be doing quite well.”

Su Yu smiled and said:

"Indeed, it's quite impressive. My second brother's cultivation level is now comparable to that of the leader, and he has successfully passed his first Great Heavenly Tribulation and forged a high-grade Dao Foundation. My second sister-in-law is also the legitimate daughter of Venerable Mingsu, and is currently the vice president of the Canglan Association on Golden Dragon Island."

At this point, Su Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, her eyes lit up, and she said:

"Speaking of which, guild leader, how about we go overseas? Canglan Guild is the overlord of Jinjiao Island, a top guild that is no less than the Heavenly God Guild. With my second brother and sister-in-law's connections, we won't be excluded if we go there. Moreover, the resources overseas are much richer than here, and the prospects for development there will be better than here."

"overseas."

Chu Xinyue hesitated slightly.

"I remember that Mingsu Palace is located in the deepest part of the overseas world, which is more than a million kilometers away, across the Flying Star Islands, right?"

Su Yu immediately explained:
"In terms of distance, it is indeed farther, but for us, it is closer to the sect. Mingsu Palace has a teleportation array that can directly teleport to the sect, and Feixing City, the main city of Feixing Islands, also has a teleportation gate to Xuanzhen Immortal City. It just costs a lot of money, but that is not a problem for us."

Before Chu Xinyue could speak, Xiao Qingli nodded:

"It is indeed closer."

Chu Xinyue remained silent, seemingly hesitant and conflicted.

Su Yu didn't urge her; it was up to her to decide.

He personally prefers to go overseas, since he will be spending most of his time there in the future. If the team moves there, they can level up and develop the guild at the same time, achieving both personal and team development.

Chu Xinyue did not make a decision immediately, but simply said:

"Let me think about it and give you an answer within two days."

Su Yu made a serious statement:
"This is just my personal suggestion. If the leader has other places to go, I will follow."

"Ok!"

As Su Yu stepped out of the camp, she let out a long breath and heard someone calling her. Turning around, she saw Gu Zhi Qiu, Zhuang Zhuo, and the others waving at her.

"You're finally back. The guild would have disbanded if you'd been any later."

The first thing they said when they met was exactly the same as Gu Zhi Qiu's.

Su Yu smiled and stepped forward to bump fists and hug everyone. Then she gave each person a gift: three Vermilion Fruits and a Five-Colored Spirit Fish that could increase their physical strength to 1000 points.

Zhuang Zhuo opened the storage bag without any hesitation, glanced at it, and excitedly punched him:
"That's more like it. I'll forgive you for being late this time."

"Let's go have a drink."

"Walk."

The group arrived in town and found a roadside shop to sit down. Before the drinks were even served, someone had already recognized them.

However, most people recognized Gu Zhiqi as the acting captain, while others had never met him, the captain who was essentially a hands-off manager, and those who knew him were no longer close to him.

This is normal. They weren't very familiar with each other to begin with. They didn't stay in office for long when they first took office, and they haven't been back for half a year, so it's natural for them to feel awkward.

But it's not a big problem. We'll get used to it quickly by organizing more guild activities with them.

The brothers, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, didn't feel like strangers as others; after a few drinks, they were back to normal.

After exchanging heartfelt words of brotherhood and learning about his current situation, the conversation returned to the guild's current state.

After taking a few sips of wine, Su Yu suddenly asked:

"If the Second Regiment leaves here and goes to develop in other places, will you go with them?"

Gu Zhi Qiu immediately realized what was happening and asked:

"Has the commander made a decision?"

Su Yu nodded. Given the behavior of the second president of the Sword Spirit Pavilion, Chu Xinyue would definitely not stay here any longer. It was only a matter of time before she left to develop elsewhere; it was just a matter of where she went.

"I have that idea."

The group immediately fell silent, holding their wine glasses for a long time. Gu Zhi Qiu then downed his drink in one gulp and said:

"Changing locations is fine too. This place is just average, and the guild environment isn't good either. It's good to start over in a different place."

"By the way, have you decided where to go?"

"It's hard to say, it's not certain yet."

Just then, Su Yu suddenly received a new message, which she checked and found was from Chu Xinyue:

"Go overseas."

Su Yu immediately stood up, waved to his surprised brothers, and walked aside to ask:
"Making a decision so quickly, won't you reconsider?"

“You’re right, overseas is indeed suitable for us. Please communicate with the Canglan Association.”

"No problem. Do you want to merge into a team, or do you want to operate independently?"

"Let's operate independently for now."

"Okay, when do you leave?"

"This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later. Issue the announcement today and prepare to depart tomorrow." "Alright."

After turning off the communication, Su Yu returned to her seat with a smile.
Zhuang Zhuo joked:
Is there some good news?

"That's good news. The commander has decided that we're going overseas."

"overseas?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at each other in disbelief.

"It's not easy to make a living overseas. There shouldn't be any people practicing witchcraft overseas, right?"

The speaker was Gu Zhi Qiu, who majored in Gu cultivation. It seemed that it would be difficult to find a suitable place to refine Gu overseas, which would greatly affect his strength.

Finding a Gu pit is easy, but the real challenge is finding a large number of poisonous insects needed for Gu refining.

Su Yu chuckled and said:

"Have you heard of Ten Thousand Poison Island? It's an island far superior to the Poison Mist Swamp. It's full of all kinds of poisonous creatures and worms, including worms of level 100. Everyone on there practices the Gu Refining method."

"real or fake?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

"If that's the case, then there's naturally no problem."

Having dealt with one, Su Yu turned to the other brothers:

"what about you?"

Zhuang Zhuo smiled and said:

"We have nothing to miss, we can go anywhere."

"Don't worry, overseas is a great place, definitely better than here."

After chatting for a while and having eaten and drunk their fill, Su Yu immediately assigned tasks to the brothers: organizing and inventorying the team's assets, and providing psychological support to the team members.

He wasn't idle either; he needed to get a good understanding of the team's situation, since he'd been away for so long.

To be honest, Chu Xinyue's choice was within his expectations; she really didn't have many options right now.

You either join another guild or go solo; whichever you choose, you have to leave this place.

Going solo is a no-go for them. Developing a team into a guild would require an immense amount of effort, and neither of them had the time.

If you're considering joining a guild, you don't have many options. First of all, you probably don't know any guilds to choose from. If you know someone who knows a suitable guild, you wouldn't need to hesitate and would have already chosen one.

If you don't know anyone, you'll need to find a suitable guild yourself, which could take a lot of time.

At this moment, the Canglan Society that Su Yu brought was a perfect match for her.

The Canglan Society is powerful enough that she doesn't need to worry too much. With acquaintances, there won't be any messy issues. It can be independent or merged, and although it's far overseas, transportation is convenient, and the development potential is great. With so many advantages combined, he couldn't think of any place more suitable than this.

Returning to the town mayor's mansion in Lishui Town from the street, Su Yu opened the brigade's control panel to check the brigade's current situation.

First, look at the group structure, which shows 550 people.

"It's even less than when I took over."

He remembered that when he took over the Third Brigade, there were more than 600 people.

Needless to say, the missing members were either poached or left the guild.

He glanced at the distribution of the brigade members. The first squadron had 129 people remaining, the squadron leader was Gu Zhiqi, and the squadron's treasury contained 850 gold coins.

The second squadron has 104 members remaining, with Tang An as the squadron leader and 653 gold coins in the squadron's treasury.

The Third Squadron has 111 men remaining, with Qiao Xuan as the acting squadron leader. The squadron's treasury contains 510 gold coins.

The fourth squadron has 103 members remaining, with Gu Yao as the squadron leader and 560 gold coins in the squadron's treasury.

The Fifth Squadron has 103 members remaining, with Hu Qingfeng as the squadron leader and 720 gold coins in the squadron's treasury.

He carefully checked the backup and realized that He Dongyu, the original captain of the Third Squadron, had been poached by another guild and left with a portion of the Third Squadron.

Besides the Third Company, the other companies have all been poached. Although the company commander is still in the company, many squads have been poached in their entirety.

If he doesn't come back, I don't know how many people will be poached; I estimate there won't be more than 500 left.

The entire brigade now has 550 members, and the brigade's treasury holds a staggering 4924 gold coins. As the brigade leader, Su Yu can receive 20% of the brigade's income, which is equivalent to nearly a thousand gold coins.

"The team is developing quite well."

The combined treasury of the brigade and the company can raise nearly eight thousand gold coins, which is quite good.

Keep in mind that this is despite the fact that the team members have been dissatisfied, and the guild has been affected in the second half of the year with very few activities to make money; otherwise, it would have been even more profitable.

In addition, the brigade's warehouse also contained a large amount of materials.

The total value of the materials used in various professions, including brewing, formation making, weapon crafting, alchemy, and shipbuilding, is probably around three to four thousand gold coins.

Considering that the team still needs to be maintained, Su Yu did not withdraw her salary for the time being, but continued to keep it in the team's vault for future use.

After closing the panel, he opened the team member panel and contacted all the team leaders and squad leaders, speaking with them one by one.

The main approach was to reassure and make promises, as well as ask for their thoughts. He said that if they wanted to leave, they could leave now and he wouldn't stop them.

You can't force a relationship to work; if they're unwilling to leave for overseas, you can't keep them.

After spending several hours talking with the squad leaders and platoon leaders, he saw the number of members in the brigade interface decreasing and the panel constantly displaying messages that someone had left the guild.

In just one hour, over a hundred people withdrew, and although fewer people withdrew later, the process was still ongoing.

After this wave of withdrawals ends, it's unclear how many people are still left.

But there's no way around it; it's hard to leave one's homeland. Only a few people have the courage to follow you to a completely unfamiliar place to start over. Whether he communicates privately or announces it to everyone, many people will leave the guild. This is an inevitable step.

After dealing with these matters, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and opened the panel again. Looking at the names on it, she contacted each person one by one.
