I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

Chapter 358 Level Plan

The next morning at nine o'clock, in the conference room on the second floor of Qianjin Pavilion.

When Li Wu appeared at the door on time, Hua Zitong had already opened the magic sandbox.

A panoramic map of District 21 was projected onto the sand table, with numerous markers scattered throughout the various areas. Compared to yesterday, a pale golden halo now covered the very center of the map—the main city area.

"Is everyone here?" Li Wu glanced around the conference room.

Immovable Mountain, Steel Shield, Forest Sea, Ink Trace, Wind Chaser, and Night Wind—all the core members were present. Iron Anchor was also there; he had just been resurrected from the dead yesterday, still bearing the debuff of soul weakness on his face, but he was in good spirits.

"It's all here." Hua Zitong nodded.

Li Wu walked to the sand table but did not sit down.

"Let's not talk about yesterday, let's talk about the plans for the future."

He reached out and traced a line on the sand table, zooming in to show the entire Origin Realm. The triple-ring structure was clearly displayed before everyone: the outermost ring of the starting village, the middle ring of the towns, and the core main city area.

Do you know what level 100 means?

This question surprised everyone.

The one who remained unmoved answered the fastest: "The cross-realm trial allows you to enter the ten main cities of the entire server after passing it."

"Yes." Li Wu pointed to the main city markers in the center of the map. "After reaching level 100, you can enter the main city area. What's in the main city area? There's a server-wide auction house, a cross-server teleportation array, an advanced enchanting workshop, and..."

He paused.

"City Establishment Token"

The meeting room fell silent.

Lin Hai was the first to react: "A city-building token? What's that?"

Hua Zitong explained to Li Wu, "There's an NPC organization in the main city called the Territory Management Office. You can apply for a city-building token there. After obtaining the token, the guild can build its own city in a designated area. It's not like the temporary property rights given by the system, such as the Sun Fortress; it's a truly autonomous city that can be built entirely independently."

"A real city..." Steel Shield swallowed hard.

"How do we obtain the city-building token?" asked the unmoving mountain.

Hua Zitong glanced at Li Wu. Li Wu nodded, signaling her to speak.

"There are three conditions," Hua Zitong said, holding up three fingers. "First, the guild level must reach level five. Second, the guild leader's level must reach one hundred. Third, the city-building approval task in the main city must be completed."

"Level five?" Lin Hai's voice rose a half octave. "We're only level three now."

"So this is your mission," Li Wu said.

He turned to Hua Zitong: "What's needed for a guild to advance from level three to level five?"

Hua Zitong was prepared and directly reported the data: "Guild experience points. Upgrading from level three to level four requires 50 million guild experience points, and from level four to level five requires 100 million. Guild experience points are mainly obtained through dungeon clears, participation in world events, completion of guild quests, and accumulation of individual member contributions. At our current speed and scale, if we proceed normally, it will probably take…"

"how long?"

"About two months."

"Too slow!" Li Wu shook his head. "A month."

Hua Zitong frowned: "A month is tight. A guild of over three hundred people, grinding dungeons every day, has a limit to how efficient they are at gaining guild experience. Unless..."

"Unless the guild members' levels are raised as a whole," Li Wu continued, "higher-level dungeons give more guild experience. Most of you are currently level 36, so the only dungeon you can run is Zul'Farrak, which is level 35."

"If we can get our main force to level 45 or even 50, we can open level 40 and 45 dungeons, and the efficiency of guild experience gain will at least double."

The Unmoved Mountain understood: "So the first step is still to level up."

"Yes," Li Wu said, "but not everyone trains together."

He drew several lines on the sand table, dividing the area into several sections.

"First, Hua Zitong will remain in Ironforge, fully responsible for the guild's daily operations and upgrades. Lin Hai will continue to manage the business. Immovable Mountain and Steel Shield will each lead one and two raid groups to run dungeons and complete guild quests as planned."

"And what about you?" the bull asked.

"I'm going to upgrade."

"Will you take us there, or...?"

"I'll go by myself."

The meeting room fell silent again.

Zhui Feng whispered, "Guild Leader, you're already level 50..."

"Level 50 isn't enough," Li Wu said calmly. "My goal is level 100."

"Level 100?!"

Several people spoke up at the same time.

Level 100.

In the entire 21st district, the highest-level player was the one standing before them, level 50. Second place was Iron Anchor, level 40. The average level across the entire district was roughly between 32 and 35.

What does level 100 mean?

It is twice the highest level in the entire region.

It's a distance that requires traversing monster zones of level 50, level 60, level 70, level 80, and level 90, fighting your way to the very end.

"Guild Master," Immovable Mountain carefully chose his words, "the level 100 areas... no one in the entire 21st district has explored maps above level 60 yet. The monster strength, terrain, and hidden mechanics of those areas are all unknown. You alone..."

"I know," Li Wu interrupted him.

"and you……"

"I told you, I'm going alone."

He remained silent, unmoved.

Hua Zitong didn't speak. She leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping lightly under the table. She knew that when Li Wu mentioned someone, it meant she had already made up her mind.

"But before I set off," Li Wu changed the subject, "I have one more thing to do."

He took out his communicator from his backpack and found a message.

"Flower Language Guild"

Hua Zitong raised an eyebrow slightly: "Hua Yu Xiaofeng?"

"I promised her during the guild war that I would take her core team to level up once after the event," Li Wu said. "I have to keep that promise."

Lin Hai chimed in from a businessman's perspective: "The Flower Language Guild is our ally. They sent 800 people to act as a feint in this guild war. It's perfectly reasonable to give them a chance to level up, and it also helps solidify our relationship."

"I plan to spend three days," Li Wu said. "Within three days, I will bring the core team of the Flower Language Guild to level 43, and then I will leave."

"Level 43 in three days?" Steel Shield gasped. "What level are they now?"

"Most of them are between level 37 and 40," Hua Zitong checked the data.

"A difference of three to six levels, three days..." Steel Shield shook his head. "At this rate, if we were to lead the way, it would take at least a week."

"So it was me who went to bring it, not you." Li Wu glanced at him.

Steel Shield: "..."

Several people in the meeting room wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud.

"Alright, that's the division of labor." Li Wu slammed his hand on the table. "Hua Zitong, you're in charge of everything in the guild while I'm gone. Contact me if you're unsure about anything, but try to handle it yourself as much as possible."

Hua Zitong stood up: "Understood."

"Immovable as a mountain, steel shield, each of you lead your respective regiments and push the levels up. I've set a goal for you: within a month, the core members of the first and second regiments must reach an average level of 45 or higher."

"Forty-five..." The unmoved man did a mental calculation. "It's a bit stressful, but I can do it."

"Where's the steel shield?"

"The first regiment won't be slower than the second." Steel Shield patted his chest.

"Chasing the Wind".

Zhui Feng stood up straight reflexively.

"You'll be operating with the immovable Second Regiment. But your extra task is to keep an eye on the situation in the field. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."

"receive."

Li Wu looked around.

"Meeting adjourned. I'm leaving in two hours to find the Flower Language Guild."

Everyone got up and walked outside.

Hua Zitong was the last to leave, and she paused at the door.

"Li Wu".

"Um?"

"Level 100...how long do you expect it to take?"

Li Wu thought for a moment.

"One month."

Hua Zitong turned to look at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She was a reincarnated person, and she knew that in her previous life, it took the first player in District 21 to reach level 100 for nearly half a year.

One month.

From level 50 to level 100.

A span of fifty levels.

You need to level up nearly two levels every day.

"Okay." She didn't say anything more. "I'll have Lin Hai prepare the supplies. Come and pick them up before you leave."

"I don't need too much," Li Wu said. "I don't need it."

Hua Zitong's lips moved slightly, but in the end she said nothing and closed the door.

Li Wu stood alone in the conference room, looking at the core circle on the magic sand table that marked the main city area.

Level 100.

City establishment token.

All resources in the main city.

These are the things he needs to receive over the next month.
