Chapter 346: Chapter 348: The Era of Player Guilds Begins, Rapid Development of Anos City (10,000-Word Mega Chapter)
“Breaking news: In the top 500 guilds of Huaxia, twenty guilds have established the Conqueror Alliance in the Ennas Empire, and they are now aggressively recruiting players. Joining the guild will grant access to class change training, and internal transactions of copper pucks will even fetch a premium of 10%.”
“That’s nothing; in the Storm Sea Domain, three of the top ten clubs in Huaxia have already formed an alliance and are currently absorbing a large number of players. Most importantly, if you perform well, you stand a chance to be officially absorbed as a core player and enjoy the benefits of resource allocation.”
“Lord Knight of the Broken Sword just posted, and the Undead Empire is also recruiting a large number of players. He guarantees that if players join, each person can get 5 undead NPC minions for free, plus he’ll share the secret recipe for raising bone dragons…”
“The first main city for players—Anos City—is under intense construction. Brothers from the Nolan Empire, hurry up and come support! There are many strong Centaurs around here; you might even be able to capture them as pets. Centaur screenshot.jpg, don’t they look cool? Others ride horses, you ride Centaurs—it’s way more impressive. And the most crucial part: there are female Centaurs too, hehehe…”
“Dragon Soul Guild is recruiting…”
Time flew, and players who had been thrashed during the Blasphemy Disaster quickly recovered, though the brutal slaughter left many with psychological traumas, leading over a million players to quit the game.
However, despite the terrifying number of players who quit, even more are eager to join.
The price of used game pods on second-hand platforms is even higher than the purchase price, netting those players a nice profit.
This clearly shows just how popular this super virtual game is.
The new batch of players who spent a lot of money to buy game pods successfully usurped the veterans and became the glorious… commoners.
Players are all born as commoners. It’s quite fair, but what they can achieve after that is up to their own fate.
Some ended up in the Underworld as members always busy collecting protection money.
Others became lifestyle players, who fully immerse themselves in the exotic cultures of “Glory,” learning various life skills.
Some players leveraged their Magic Talent to get into the church, becoming proud priests who study magic in the temple by day and go out with church allowances at night to experience exotic night spots.
And it’s not just male players who frequent the seedy spots of “Glory”; a significant portion are female players.
“Glory” has several extremely good-looking races, like the Half-Elves. Many female players who wouldn’t do outrageous things in reality are throwing caution to the wind in “Glory,” fully experiencing what it’s like to keep a ‘little puppy.’
Some female players even established a secret organization on the forum to share titillating information,
which wasn’t exposed until much later by a guy who disguised himself as a woman and slipped into the group. Only then did most players learn about it.
But far from disbanding after exposure, this organization attracted even more curious and eager female players.
Suddenly, there was a huge increase in demand for male workers in red-light districts… Many players even pretended to be NPCs to experience the feel of being a super stud.
Virtual worlds tend to magnify human nature, both the dark and bright sides.
Things that are daunting or impossible to try in reality are eagerly embraced by most players in such a realistic world.
It can’t be helped, “Glory” is too real, and players’ behaviors are uncontrolled, hence the appearance of bizarre actions.
It’s not surprising; human nature is complex. In real life, most people wouldn’t rob others, but in the game, where legal concepts are blunted, they do things without any scruples.
Of course, there are also players upholding justice. They help beggars and civilians, resolving to improve the atmosphere of “Glory” and build a harmonious society.
Their influence grows, attracting many good-hearted players and salvaging some reputation for them; otherwise, these idiots would truly become loathed vermin.
As time passed, most players started to blend into “Glory.” The major guilds realized the game’s potential and began to invest madly without regard for costs.
Players, as a valuable resource, naturally became the primary target for all guilds, focusing their efforts on roping in solo players.
However, since guilds still lack the capability for long-distance travel, they mostly recruit members from their own cities.
Some guilds, aiming for greater profits, have formed alliances intending to directly control their cities.
Naturally, many other guilds continue to recruit independently. Players, with their ability to respawn, are an irreplaceable core part of the guilds.
The reason guilds only recruit players, the most critical point being—after a Blasphemy Disaster, they can’t recruit natives who now view players with suspicion due to the gamers’ bizarre past behavior.
Forget recruitment; many NPCs seeing players making strange gestures viciously attack them outright.
This directly caused players to start curbing their excessive behaviors.
For example, live broadcasting jumping off a building to experience death, peeking at nobles bathing, promoting atheism, and other silly actions were greatly reduced, making the entire world look much more normal.
As for those natives who looked down on players whom the players couldn’t defeat, everyone could only act subservient, cursing in their hearts that fortunes could change in thirty years.
The most frequent posts on the official forum in recent days were about some well-known guilds beginning to recruit members. Everyone hurry, the members are sweet and easy to push over.
Although there were many messages about guilds, only two caught everyone’s attention—the Knights of the Broken Sword and the player’s main city.
The Knights of the Broken Sword need no further introduction. As the ones who caused the undead calamity, they directly brought the undead from a state of obscurity to the forefront and destroyed an empire, becoming terrifyingly famous as super players.
Now as the disciple of the Undead Monarch, the Knights of the Broken Sword have become a representative of peak players, and every move they make attracts countless people’s attention.
Recently, the Knights of the Broken Sword’s posts also had one core message—the Undead Empire was recruiting a large number of players. Anyone who wants to join the undead, come quickly, and skeleton minions and bone dragon crafting technology will be distributed.
This message tempted many, as joining the Undead Camp not only meant getting close to the powerful Knights of the Broken Sword but also receiving various resource support. Moreover, with hardly any players in the Undead Empire currently, one could enjoy most of the benefits alone.
For players who had been constantly beaten up in “Glory,” this was definitely a good place. A large batch of players joined the Undead Camp, fantasizing about ruling the world on their bone dragons.
Of course, whether they could succeed was unknown, but the Knights of the Broken Sword’s reputation became the most dazzling star on the entire forum through this trend.
Besides the Knights of the Broken Sword, the player’s main city also enjoyed unmatched popularity.
Anos City, a city entirely belonging to players with basically no NPC forces, now stood as a beacon among players.
Many players who had been severely beaten placed their hopes on this city.
Additionally, since the land in Anos City was distributed for free, players who met certain requirements could receive land directly from Prince Anos, making it infinitely attractive to players.
The process of receiving land was also very simple; one only needed to sign a Loyalty Contract—never to betray Anos City, and to always stand with Anos City.
For players, what was a contract? They could get a large piece of land by signing a contract, not to mention one, even ten or a hundred contracts would not be a problem.
The word “land” often had special meaning among players; having land meant having a place to settle, a sense of belonging, a home.
No one would skimp on investment in their own land.
Guilds that met Anos City’s requirements and obtained a lot of land were generally strong. These guilds quickly became the main force in building Anos City, with a significant amount of resources flowing into this overgrown city every day.
Originally, Anos City was just a run-down town, but in less than a month, its size had expanded fivefold.
Although no significant buildings had been constructed yet, the players living in shabby wooden houses were full of confidence.
Prince Anos seemed to be the destiny hero for the players, issuing a large number of tasks every day during the city construction process, allowing players to earn both experience and money, and importantly, safely.
The welfare and treatment of the player’s main city attracted countless players who previously carried sacks at the docks and silently shed tears.
Moreover, Prince Anos treated players without the discrimination native residents had, and all the policies were excellent, so at this time, the player’s main city continued to be the focus of everyone on the forum.
These silly people were too eager for a city like in other games, where they could freely undertake tasks and enjoy playing in the game city.

“Good night, Lord Stanley…”
The manor of the city lord in Anos City was left by several former lords of the Red Moon Territory. However, most of those lords had died unnatural deaths and the manor had not been repaired for a long time, so this small manor looked quite dilapidated.
At this moment, in this dilapidated manor, Prince Anos, dressed in black noble attire, stood respectfully before a figure who was sitting indifferently with a ferocious and terrifying scar on his face, bowing respectfully.
Stanley’s sharp gaze rested on the Prince Anos before him, his expression subtle.
At this moment, only the two of them were inside the house, while the outside was tightly guarded by people brought by Stanley.
“Anos, how has Anos City been developing recently?”
Anos’s expression was solemn, “My lord, thanks to your planning, the adventurers from the Lost Plane have now become our main force, with their numbers exceeding ten thousand…”
After finishing, he hesitated slightly, “But these adventurers’ behavior and manners are very strange, and I worry about their future development in Anos City possibly not being under our control.”
Attempting to control those adventurers was a foolish thing, a realization that Anos had come to over this period.
He could never guess what those adventurers would do next.
Stanley smiled faintly, his eyes revealing a hint of profound meaning.
“Anos, your concerns are natural. The Undead from the Lost Plane are very special existences, their world is completely different from ours.
Their thoughts and actions cannot be inferred through our perspectives.
But controlling them is not complicated.
By yielding some profits and tying them to us, these Undead will become a sharp blade in our hands.”
Anos’s eyes lit up, “Lord Stanley, like having them sign a Loyalty Contract with us??”
Stanley nodded then shook his head.
“No, the Loyalty Contract is just one aspect, the more important thing is to make them truly become a part of Anos City.”
Seeing the thoughtful look in Anos’s eyes in front of him, Stanley smiled slightly. Although this young prince lacked some talent, he had a certain cleverness, and with proper nurturing, he could contribute greatly to the Bloodline and Dawn City.
After all, the other party was a bona fide prince, whose potential was to reach the throne of this empire.
Stanley’s blue eyes revealed a depth that was difficult for anyone to comprehend.
Once an Evil God believer, Stanley’s grasp of human nature had even earned Lide’s admiration.
When preparing to establish a city composed entirely of adventurers from the Lost Plane, Stanley had already started planning for Anos City.
His voice was deep.
“When everyone else shuns these Undead, our act of accepting them will easily garner a large population.
Population is the foundation of a city’s development.
To bind these Undead with Anos City, we only need to ensure one thing—let these people continuously invest in Anos City.”
Stanley’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, “The greater the cost they pay, the greater the cost will become for them to think about leaving Anos City, to the point that this option will eventually be ruled out.”
“When their interests are completely tied with ours, no matter how many times they can revive, they will always move forward on our war chariot.”
Though the words were simple, the logic behind them was very effective.
When a person invests more, the harder it becomes for them to withdraw, similar to gambling; the more one loses, the harder it is to pull away until they are utterly ruined.
Anos’s eyes shone, continuing the conversation, “Lord Stanley, just like what we are currently doing, using a portion of our profits to gain greater benefits.
Offer free land to those adventurers with guilds, enticing their investment.
These adventurers, just having arrived from the Lost Plane to the Main Plane, have very limited resources. Under these circumstances, their investment in us is guaranteed to be all-in.
This binds them to us.
As Anos City develops, they will inevitably reap the benefits of this development, taste the sweetness, and thus increase their investment, creating a virtuous cycle.
We can reap greater benefits from it; after all, the entire city is ours, just the taxes alone are enough to control everyone.”
Anos’s thoughts continued to expand, “And it’s easy to handle those ordinary adventurers without guilds as well. We can use the contribution system you mentioned to set up new regulations.
The more contributions they make to Anos City, the higher the privileges they can obtain—
such as becoming professionals, learning magic, or even joining the city’s guard, being granted free housing, giving them rights that only Nobles could possess…
After they contribute their strength to this city, they will naturally receive better treatment, and the higher the contribution, the higher their investment; thus, they won’t easily leave or betray Anos City.”
Stanley nodded with satisfaction, a hint of admiration in his eyes. Although the young prince was still naive, he was willing to think and could grasp the main points of the issue.
Previously, how Anos City had developed was all orchestrated by him, including the free distribution of land and the signing of contracts.
But he could not always stay to oversee the development of Anos City; he was responsible for the intelligence work of Dawn City, and it was no exaggeration to say that this was far more important than managing the development of this adventurer city.
Prince Anos was a seedling that could be nurtured, saving him much worry.
“Indeed, but before that, we must establish a more comprehensive system.
The adventurer’s guild, the Mercenary Guild, and even guilds for different professions need to be established, Mage Towers need to be built, and there also needs to be tutors for class changes for all professions. These must all be possessed.
For the undead, advancing levels or learning new skills and magic provided a greater stimulus than simply giving them land, and this quick action is what we currently lack.
Even certain rare professions could be turned through tasks and contribution points.
With these systems in place, these undead will be completely bound to Anos City!”
Hearing this, Anos realized his previous considerations had been too simple, but as easily spoken as this was, it was not easy to implement.
He looked deeply at Stanley, “My lord, this will require a huge investment.”
“No, Anos, since Dawn City has decided to support you, the investment will be made regardless of the cost,” Stanley said, his profound eyes holding a depth that was difficult for Anos to understand.
“This is the answer I provided to his majesty; I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
“His majesty?” Anos was slightly startled; he had never met Lide since becoming part of the Bloodline.
“Yes, the sole sovereign of our Holy Light Bloodline,” Stanley said, his eyes flashing with immense respect.
“He is also your sovereign.
In time, you will understand just how great his majesty truly is.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Of course, the prerequisite for catching his eye is that you must develop Anos City.”
He paused, then stared into Anos’s eyes, saying emphatically, “As long as you demonstrate enough talent and ability to gain his majesty’s acknowledgement,
in the future, you will gain the power of revenge.
His majesty might even support you unconditionally, allowing you to return to the Nolan Capital with the posture of a king, treading over those who have humiliated and hurt you with your boots.
Anos, your destiny has always been in your hands.
Even though you have now become a member of the Holy Light Bloodline, the Bloodline will not forget your past hatred. If you wish for revenge, then go ahead and prepare.”
These words made Anos’s formerly quiet heart suddenly start thumping, his eyes slowly turning blood red.
His aura filled with an intimidating and chilly presence.
Revenge!!
This was the reason that had always sustained Anos’s will to survive.
The humiliation he had suffered in Nolan Capital once again echoed in his ears.
His soul seemed to tremble at this moment.
Looking at Stanley, he spoke with a tone as firm as mountains, resolutely saying,
“Lord Stanley, I will give my all for this!”
Suddenly clenching his fists, the strength that surged through his body accelerated the growth of the seed of revenge inside him.
Having become part of the Bloodline, he had reclaimed the lost talent.
Only fresh blood and death could repay the grievances of the past.
Watching Anos, now spirited with fighting resolve, Stanley’s eyes slightly narrowed.
He slightly turned his head to gaze deeply through the open window.
“Your Majesty, believe me, this city will definitely shine with a brilliance that dazzles you.”

The next day, something exciting happened for the players in Anos City.
Prince Anos announced the construction of various profession guilds within the city, along with opening channels for skill acquisition and class changes, and also the construction of the Mage Tower in Anos City.
A contribution system was introduced too, where earning a certain amount of contribution points could grant privileges in Anos City.
As this news was released, the players realized everything was falling into place.
Previously, although the land in Anos City was free, the city lacked supporting facilities in almost every aspect, so the players’ presence here hinged purely on passion and bets on the city’s potential.
However, the scarcity in various aspects still made many players feel inconvenienced, as after all, they were here to play a game; constant struggles were truly disheartening.
With only a few players in the enormity of Anos City, learning new skills required a cumbersome trip back to Green City, causing many players to leave in frustration.
But now, with Prince Anos having established these facilities, things were different. They no longer needed to go back to Green City to learn skills or change classes,
And this newly introduced contribution system was incredibly enticing; reaching a certain contribution score allowed them to exchange for armor, weapons, and even to become rare professions; it directly struck at the players’ hearts.
Players, previously demotivated by harsh conditions and low efficiency, were now infused with new motivation, taking on quests with renewed vigor.
“President Yue, are we really going to develop in this city?”
As a highly paid executive, Qian Zheng was adept in managing the guild’s development, but he was baffled by the decision to move from the bustling and well-supported Green City to start anew in an embryonic city.
Though the potential of this main player city was great, it was still in the developmental phase. Their efforts concentrated in Green City would undoubtedly reap much greater benefits than in this nascent city.
Other players came here because they couldn’t make it in the larger cities, but they had ample resources and didn’t need to make such moves.
Vice President Zhao Yue, however, did not respond in haste but continued observing the bustling constructions of Anos City with over a dozen top executives from Crimson Moon.
In fact, the development in Anos City was an order previously given to her by Lide; more precisely, Lide wanted Crimson Moon to become the leading force among player guilds in Anos City.
Although she was puzzled by the order, Zhao Yue executed it resolutely.
That charismatic figure always inspired her trust.
Indeed, Lide’s purchase of the Sword and Shield Club and his subsequent diversion of all profitable game operations solely into “Glory” had seemed unimaginable before.
But as “Glory” was launched, it proved his foresight was correct. In just over a month, “Glory” had swept across all of Huaxia, dominating discussions in nearly all gaming circles.
Attention and popularity are the lifeblood of a game. With only so many players around, a game losing its players to another meant it was on its way out.
The previously profitable games had seen a 50% drop in player numbers in just a month or so—a faster decline than an avalanche.
Not to mention Lide’s early establishment of Crimson Moon’s Trident.
This superior vision always left Zhao Yue in profound admiration.
“Chairman Qian, our expansion to Anos City doesn’t mean giving up on Green City; it means flourishing in both places.
On the basis of ensuring Green City’s development, we should invest simultaneously in Anos City.
This is going to be immensely beneficial for the future growth of our Crimson Moon.”
Qian Zheng’s brow furrowed slightly, still somewhat confused, and as he was about to speak, Zhao Yue waved her hand to stop him.
“Chairman Qian, this is an order from the president. You can discuss your views with him when he returns; he might even agree with you.
But until then, we must keep pushing this task forward.”
“There was no room for negotiation.”
Her tone was crisp and unquestionable.
Having managed the Crimson Moon for so long, Zhao Yue was not merely a decorative vase without capabilities.
President…
Upon hearing this, Qian Zheng fell silent, thinking of the elegant, ancient-noble-like young figure, and inexplicably felt a lightness in his heart.
For some reason, although Zhao Yue had said much before, she couldn’t persuade him, but upon knowing that everything was Lide’s idea, his inner worries disappeared by more than half.
It seemed that this outrageously young boss possessed a special kind of trust-inducing magic.
“President Yue, rest assured, although opinions differ, this is all for the better development of the Crimson Moon. Since it is the president’s order, I will execute it with 1000% effort.”
Qian Zheng was not one to be coy, and once he was sure, he agreed straightforwardly.
Zhao Yue nodded, not saying more.
Capable people all share one trait, they trust themselves highly, and their views are hard to be shaken or changed. She was somewhat surprised at how high Lide’s status was in Qian Zheng’s heart.
While speaking, a group of people arrived at the City Lord’s manor in Anos City, preparing to claim free land.
The relationship with the Crimson Moon was not widely publicized by Lide; he subtly informed Stanley and urged him to take extra care of the Crimson Moon.
For Stanley, who had successfully established a Dark Contract branch on Earth, controlling a player’s guild with Lide’s intelligence was child’s play; he had no doubts about it.
So now, the procedures for the Crimson Moon still needed to follow the usual steps; of course, Stanley wouldn’t just give them an ordinary piece of land. The two best plots had already been prepared for the Crimson Moon and the Immortal Soul of the Dark Contract.
Just as the group was about to enter the manor, by chance, Hun Yuan Thunderclap Hand Cheng Kun and his two foolishly joyous companions came out.
“Holy shit, big bro, is this for real? We can really hire the Centaurs from the Dwarf Hills?” Cheng Kun’s voice carried an indescribable excitement.
Thunderclap Hand curled his lips, “Little bro, can you be more composed? Look at me. Do I get excited?”
“Why is your hand shaking then?”
“Pfft, that’s because of last night’s high frequency, you know nothing!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I told you, you went to the toilet last night and came out after a minute and a half…”
“Bullshit, when I’m wielding the great sword, it takes an hour and a half!”
“If you would switch to a working watch, you wouldn’t have such a big misunderstanding about yourself…”
Hun Yuan watched the two fools spout nonsense, a twitch in his lips but didn’t join in.
But as they stepped out the door, they bumped directly into Zhao Yue and her group, instantly bringing silence and an awkward atmosphere.
Since Lide had become a shareholder in the Dark Contract Club, the Crimson Moon had helped them a lot; thus, everyone knew each other.
“Hello, President Yue, are you also here for a mission?”
Hun Yuan asked stiffly, his face rigid.
Zhao Yue’s expression unchanged, as if she hadn’t heard the prior conversation.
“Hello President Hun Yuan, I just heard you mention Centaurs? I didn’t catch what followed. Could you tell me what that’s about?”
Zhao Yue’s high attractiveness immediately made the three nerds feel somewhat uneasy, especially since their foolish chatter had been overheard, intensifying the feeling.
“Prince Anos will tell you himself, President Yue. We’ve picked up a time-limited mission and must leave first…”
Hun Yuan awkwardly smiled and hurriedly dragged the two fools away.
Watching the three flee in disarray, Zhao Yue’s lips twitched slightly.
These nerds… do they all love to talk nonsense this much?

That night, the message boards were ablaze with news about the player’s main city once more.
It all stemmed from a post by Hun Yuan on the forum.
“How I Recruited Level 12 Centaurs”
This title was unremarkable among all the shocking headlines, but it stood out immediately due to the hardcore information it revealed.
Level 12, for the vast majority of players, was on par with boss-level existence.
Let alone recruiting, some might not even qualify to speak with such characters.
But now, when everyone is struggling, someone suddenly tells them they drive a Lamborghini to buy groceries daily and collect rent from twenty buildings at home—wasn’t that a joke?
This post had gained over 50 million views in the last few hours, and its hardcore content truly elevated the status of the player’s main city this time.
“Hun Yuan: Everyone who clicked in, 99% of you probably thought I was just click-baiting.
Sorry, although I’m an old hand at click-bait, this time I’m serious—this content is both real and hardcore.
Level 12—I believe everyone knows what this level represents.
The leading figures among players, the Broken Sword Knights, are only at Level 5 now, and a hundred Broken Sword Knights might not even disturb one Level 12 NPC. Sadly, the gap is just that big.
But sorry, by some luck, my guild—the Dark Contract has already recruited them in the player’s main city, Anos City.
Yes, Level 12 Centaurs, you heard right.
And not just one, but—10 of them, a whole squad.
Below are screenshots.
Centaur.jpg, Centaur2.jpg, Centaur Attribute Chart.jpg, Centaur Attribute Chart2.jpg
I guess there’s not much else needed to be said, these images explain everything.
Of course, that’s not the point; the key is that you all want to know how I managed to recruit Level 12 Centaurs, right??
Since you all can’t wait any longer, let me just get straight to… the point.
The answer is—the player’s main city.
Though I mentioned it already, you all must still find it surprising and hard to believe.
The current state of the player’s main city, Anos City, is destitute—there aren’t even city walls. So where would these high-level centaurs come from to be recruited?
But indeed, they are available.
How else would Prince Anos be the Destiny Hero?
Do you all remember the legends about the Red Moon Territory where Anos City is located? Many lords were killed by the nearby hill centaur tribes and the sea-bordering Fishman tribes.
But, by some twist of fate, Prince Anos arrived and directly formed a treaty with the nearby Centaur Tribe, allowed trade between the two parties, and the Centaur Tribe even allows some residents of Anos City to recruit centaur warriors.
Currently, recruiting centaurs is free for one year.
Effectively, as long as you meet the various recruitment requirements of Anos City, you get free NPC bodyguards and brawlers, and the centaurs can also serve as mounts—and being immensely strong, they are simply the ideal warriors.
There is a vast number of centaurs available; there’s no worry they will be recruited completely in a short time, and these powerful warriors can be taken home as long as you meet the recruitment conditions.
Of course, for those who can’t meet the requirements, please come to the Dark Contract Guild in Anos, we are currently recruiting elite players, and here you’ll have Level 12 centaurs to escort your leveling journey.”
Players blew up when they saw this post. Most people initially thought it was a fake, just some bragging by Hun Yuan, but it turned out to be true in the end.
It was utterly absurd.
Especially those screenshots of the Centaur with their bare, muscular upper bodies—ripped like statues full of power, holding a giant axe, looked like mythical creatures from epic legends, utterly awe-inspiring.
The key thing was these half-naked Centaurs positioned Hun Yuan right in the front, instantly maxing out his coolness.
He looked like the biggest boss, his display of power and effect so impressive, it made all the players feel sour as if lemon juice filled their eyes.
First Floor: I call bullshit, how is this not a joke?! Level 12 Centaurs, how could you recruit them now?! I’m not convinced, when did the Storm Sea Domain face such discrimination?! I strongly request the officials to establish a player’s main city in the Storm Sea Domain, I want to recruit a giant dragon!
Second Floor: Begging to be adopted, big boss, I’m versatile, just give me one Centaur and I’m good.
Third Floor: Oh my, that horse is so handsome, I really want to ride on its back…
Fourth Floor: I’m an old fan of Hun Yuan for twenty years, I have to ask, are there any mares? I’m not comfortable riding males, preferably the ones with two ponytails on the back of their head, it saves the trouble of buying a saddle.
Fifth Floor: The person above has some intense tastes, not even sparing horses, are you still human?? Such incidents are really…too exhilarating.
Sixth Floor: 10 level 12 Centaurs, Hun Yuan you are my eternal god, say no more, I want to join your guild, I want to ride them.
Seventh Floor: Drink the best liquor, ride the fiercest women, I mean, horses, this is truly being a winner in life.
…
After the post was made, guilds and players, who were still hesitating, instantly dispatched people to investigate the truth. After seeing hundreds of Centaurs at the City Lord’s mansion, they completely fell for it.
Shouting “It’s so good!” they changed direction and rushed to settle down.
Prince Anos truly is the Destiny Hero, having struggled before, he suddenly reached the pinnacle of life.
Even the Centaurs, who always had issues with humans, were actively befriending him—this city protected by the Destiny Hero was definitely going to defy the heavens.
The idea of riding a Centaur lured in players who then flocked to Anos City and began feverishly contributing and completing tasks.
The already large number of players exceeding ten thousand exploded to thirty thousand in just a week, thanks to this revelation.
The usually bustling streets of Green City quieted down a bit.
There were also a few lucky ones who completed tasks and successfully recruited Centaurs, although they were only level 6 or 7 their handsome appearance still caused countless players to drool, shouting they want one too.
Especially after a particularly beautiful female Centaur was recruited, it completely drove a group of fans crazy.
Completing tasks became absolutely frenzied.
Players arriving later found that not only had various perks in Anos City increased, previously silent guilds were now being established and perfected, even a Mage Tower was under construction.
Seeing this city thriving, more players decided to settle down.
Moreover, the key thing was that in this city there were endless tasks every day, and the rewards for each task were very generous, nothing compared to the miserly NPCs of Green City.
This created a positive feedback loop, more and more players were attracted to this city which had few restrictions, and with Lord Stanley’s support, the City Lord’s mansion had ample funds to invest in city construction.
With money in hand, players naturally wanted to spend, but at this stage, all the consumption resource control was handled by Golden Wheat Commerce, responsible for the construction and supply of Anos City, meaning the money eventually flowed back into their own hands.
A perfect closed loop formed.
Internal resources and manpower were abundant; external threats like the Centaur and Fishman Tribes became trading partners. Before long, Anos City, a city dominated by players, stepped onto the fast track of development.
Hun Yuan Thunderclap Hand, Cheng Kun, and the players managing Immortal Soul,
Zhao Yue and Qian Zheng managing Crimson Moon, also officially took root in this player’s main city, starting to recruit players and expand their scale.
Lide’s plans for the players were unfolding in a way that players themselves were completely unaware of.
Nobody knew that this main city, exalted by players as heavenly… was merely a plaything in his hands.
