Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 158 Establishing the Guild, Su Yu Takes Over

Once the location of the base is determined, the rest is easy.

Chu Xinyue summoned another airship that was parked outside the island, and more than a hundred guild members rushed over and began clearing the area.

Gu Zhi Qiu and Zhuang Zhuo disembarked from the flying boat. He casually flicked his wrist, scooping up an unknown poisonous insect from the ground and holding it in his hand, his face beaming with excitement.
"Wow, this place is great! Look how thick the poisonous fog and miasma are, and how active these poisonous insects are. Compared to this, the poisonous fog swamp is nothing."

"Didn't I lie to you?"

"No, I absolutely love this place."

Su Yu smiled slightly and waved her hand, saying:
"Let's go take a walk around the island and scout out the situation nearby."

"Walk."

The flying boat soared into the sky and plunged into the poisonous fog and miasma.

Looking down from the sky, the poisonous fog and miasma teemed with all sorts of venomous insects, from lowly ant-like creatures to high-level flying gu and centipedes. Occasionally, one could even spot large venomous creatures of seventy or eighty levels, making Gu Zhi Qiu's mouth water.

"Holy crap, so many flying Gu!"

He reached out and made a grabbing motion, and a large, multicolored grabbing hand flew out and swept down, catching a large group of flying Gu and putting them into his Gu bag.

"Heaven!"

Gu Zhi Qiu said with emotion:

"Damn, the Poison Mist Swamp rarely spawns Flying Gu, so you have to craft them yourself, which takes too much time."

"With this, I can even refine the Golden Silkworm Gu myself."

Su Yu's heart stirred upon hearing this, and she asked:

"You know how to concoct the Golden Silkworm Gu?"

"Yes, I spent over eight hundred gold to buy the refining method."

"Does the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu exist?"

Gu Zhiqiu shook his head and said:

"I've never seen this before, but even if I did, I couldn't afford it. I heard that it costs five or six thousand gold coins to buy."

"Then let's save up money first. When we have enough, I'll take you to Flying Star Island. There are powerful super-merchants there, and they're sure to have the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu."

That would be great.

The group chatted idly as they wandered around. Gu Zhi Qiu and the others were extremely busy, frantically capturing all sorts of poisonous insects and worms. The various techniques derived from the exquisite Ten Thousand Gu Gathering Spirit Scripture were extremely effective against worms, and they could catch a whole swarm of ordinary worms at a time.

Su Yu lacked professional methods and found the process too inefficient, so she gave up on it and focused on reconnaissance, drawing up maps of the surrounding terrain.

The area they chose was somewhat remote, and they only saw people pass by once in a long while, but no one paid any attention to them.

After catching her for a while, Su Yu received a message from Luo Qingchan:

"I have arrived."

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

Qingchan sent him a coordinate, and he immediately stood up:
"I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the call, he spoke to Gu Zhiqi and the others who were arresting drug dealers:

"You guys continue, I'm going to pick someone up."

Gu Zhi Qiu gave an OK sign and then casually asked:
"Who are you picking up? Your sister-in-law?"

"Correct!"

"Ok?"

The group immediately perked up, stopped what they were doing, and flew over.

"real or fake?"

Why would I lie to you?

"Let's go together."

The group excitedly escorted him as he flew north towards Wan Du Island. Soon, they saw a familiar flying boat flying overhead. He immediately waved, and the flying boat turned a corner and came to a stop. It was Bi Chen Zhou, with Luo Qing Chan standing gracefully on it.

Before the airship had even stopped, she jumped off, and Su Yu reached out and hugged her tightly.

"Wow!"

Gu Zhi Qiu and the others who followed were all stunned, and they all exclaimed in surprise:

"Your sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

Su Yu, holding Qingchan in her arms, introduced her to them:
"Luo Qingchan, my girlfriend."

"These two are Gu Zhiqi, Zhuang Zhuo, Shi Ning, and Meng Chen. They are my good brothers."

Luo Qingchan blushed slightly and said in a crisp voice:

"Hello, my name is Luo Qingchan, and I am Su Yu's girlfriend."

The group was utterly amazed and exclaimed in unison:
"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law is so beautiful."

The group showered her with praise, making her feel embarrassed.

Su Yu interrupted them again, and the group returned to the Azure Ark and flew towards their base.

Back at the base, the high-class airship quickly attracted everyone's attention, and the stunning beauty Su Yu was holding in his arms on the airship drew even more attention. Chu Xinyue and Xiao Qingli flew over, a hint of amazement flashing in their eyes. Comparing themselves to the girl before them, they had to admit that they were slightly inferior in both looks and temperament.

"Who is this?"

Having already learned of their identities through Su Yu's telepathic introduction, Qing Chan proactively stepped forward and extended her hand:
"Commander Chu, Sword Immortal Xiao, hello, I am Luo Qingchan, Su Yu's girlfriend!"

She looked at the two women with a smile, her posture unusually high, unlike usual. Su Yu felt that she was asserting her dominance.

"Miss Luo, welcome!"

The three stunning beauties shook hands, a scene that Su Yu found picturesque.

Before coming to Wan Du Island, Su Yu contacted Qing Chan, who was leveling up outside, so that they could get to know each other and Qing Chan could join the team.

They are a couple. Her boyfriend is the deputy leader, and Qingchan, as his girlfriend, naturally has to join the team and take charge of the brigade on his behalf when he is not in the team.

Su Yu won't stay here for long. Once the guild has established itself here, he'll have to return to his sect to prepare for the sect's inheritance trial.

They will return after completing the trial.

While he was lost in thought, the three women had already started chatting and seemed to get along quite well, not at all like the irreconcilable differences he had imagined, which put his mind at ease.

Three days later, a fleet belonging to the second main force regiment of the Canglan Society docked at the port, bringing with it thousands of craftsmen, a large amount of infrastructure materials, and a city-protecting formation.

These were all funded by Second Sister-in-law in the name of the guild, with a total value of at least 20,000 gold.

First, the array masters took action. After clarifying the earth's veins, they drove array bases into the ground, drawing the power of the earth's veins to create artificial spiritual veins.

Then a large number of craftsmen set to work, building cities on the artificial spiritual veins, with sections of city walls being visibly built up.

The most crucial element is the city-protecting formation, specifically the Nine Moons Linked Formation. This formation requires the forging of nine interconnected array bases, ensuring that any attack from the enemy will be absorbed by the Nine Moons, resulting in extremely high defensive capabilities.

Once completed, a single ring of the array will have a defensive capacity of up to 1000 million, and the nine rings together will have a combined defensive capacity of up to 9000 million. The maximum energy pool of the array will have a capacity of 300 million mana.

In addition, Su Yu took out his four seventh-order Thunder God Pillars and set up the Four Symbols Thunder God Pillars on the basis of the Nine Months Linked Array.

This thing is a purely offensive formation. Once activated, it can summon four terrifying level 160 Thors to fight. The formation's energy pool has 120 million mana.

Players can inject mana into the formation to maintain its defense, while Thor can draw mana from the mana pool to cast various powerful spells.

With one formation for offense and the other for defense, once the main force of the team arrives, there will be enough manpower to maintain the formation. At that time, even the three major guilds of Wan Du Island will be unable to do anything to them.

Su Yu stayed here for almost half a month and witnessed the two large formations being built one by one, and the guild getting on track.

Yes, after much discussion, Chu Xinyue and Su Yu finally decided to affiliate with Canglan Pavilion and establish an independent association called Qianxing Palace or Qianxing Association.

Guild names should either sound good, be sophisticated and imposing, or be unique. Thousand Star Palace is both easy to pronounce and imposing.

The team was upgraded to a guild, and the positions were adjusted accordingly.

Chu Xinyue is the president, and Chu Xiaoyu and Su Yu are the vice presidents.

Xiao Qingli and her two friends, who were still on their way, joined a guild as guild elders, similar to guest elders.

The original five brigades were also adjusted accordingly. After consulting with the brigades and company commanders and taking into account the internal situation of the teams, the newly established Thousand Stars Society will temporarily only have two main regiments.

The regiment was headed by Chu Xinyue, with Chu Xinyu as the deputy head. The original First Battalion, Second Battalion, Fourth Battalion, and Fifth Battalion were all placed under the jurisdiction of the First Battalion, totaling about 1400 people.

The Second Regiment was led by Su Yu, with Luo Qingchan as the deputy leader, and consisted of 307 people from the original Third Brigade.

Su Yu was able to become the leader of the only two main guilds in the newly established guild not because of his hundreds of subordinates, but because of the great investment from his second brother and sister-in-law, the investment of thousands of craftsmen and more than 20,000 gold, the Four Symbols Thunder God Formation set up with four seventh-tier magic treasures he himself took out, plus the protection of the Canglan Guild.

All of the above factors combined enabled him to surpass several other senior captains and become the vice president and the leader of the second main force regiment.

It's equivalent to a resource exchange.

The other captains of the guild were completely convinced and had no objections.

With this, the old Thousand Feather Society came to a complete end, and the era of the Thousand Star Society began.

Once the guild was officially established, Su Yu immediately took out all the good items he had stored and deposited them into the team's warehouse for his subordinates to exchange.

He possessed eight Rank 6 Spirit Essences, four of which were on Qingchan's person. He also had a Rank 6 Fire Demon Robe, seven Rank 6 Magic Treasures (all contributed by Qingchan), 18 Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruits, and 50 portions of Earth Vein Spirit Fish that could increase physique and strength by 1000 points.

The Millennium Vermilion Fruit and the Earth Vein Spirit Fish are available every year, and as the production increases in the future, the number available for exchange will also increase.

Especially the ley line spirit fish, which was his trump card for winning people's hearts.

This item can boost your Physique and Strength by 1000 points when consumed at once. A batch can be refined every year, and it can be used up to ten times. If you use it to the maximum in ten years, you can boost your Physique and Strength by 10000 points. This is a benefit that ordinary players simply cannot refuse.

Without further ado, simply increasing your physique by two or three thousand points means you won't need to use magic items when leveling up. Your physical body alone can easily withstand attacks from monsters below level sixty or seventy, significantly increasing your survival rate.

This thing can be produced in batches every year, which is enough to greatly motivate the team members to make money and accumulate guild contributions, as well as attract more elite players to join the team.

It takes ten years to fully utilize this resource, which ensures that the recruited subordinates won't be easily poached.

If you manage things well for ten years, you might not become a die-hard fan, but you'll definitely be a loyal follower, the kind who would go through fire and water for you.

A main force can theoretically hold a maximum of five thousand people, and over ten years, several thousand die-hard fans will be trained to fight to the death for you.
This is an extremely powerful force. If you make good use of it, it can even help you defeat super bosses that are over level 200.

Moreover, a full-strength main force can bring huge benefits.

When a group is strong enough, it's easy for a main force to accumulate tens of thousands of gold coins. If they develop well, they might even accumulate hundreds of thousands. Although the money doesn't belong to them, as the group leader, they have the right to borrow the funds temporarily.

Of course, all of the above are pre-arranged. Most of the guild's members are still on their way and it's unknown when they will arrive.

PS: The transition chapter has ended.

Although this part is uneventful, it is necessary. In the future, whether it is the struggle for secret realms, the struggle for immortal abodes, or other matters, guilds will be involved, and the battles with other civilizations will also involve guilds.
