Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 65 - 62: There Can’t Really Be People...
Chapter 65: Chapter 62: There Can’t Really Be People...
The disciple stared blankly at Wen Nan’s resolute departing figure, unable to regain his senses for a long time.
Wen Nan left the teahouse, walked through the still bustling crowd outside the door, and headed toward the southeast corner.
Earlier, he had carefully read through the invitation letter, which included an introduction to the guild, as well as the rights and obligations of the members.
To become one of the six major guilds, Feng Shui Huan’s terms must be quite fair, at least, in the minds of the vast majority of players here, it is fair.
In fact, the introduction of the members’ rights in there did sound very tempting—
[Members can enjoy the use of all private domains within Feng Shui Huan’s 3,172 offices: within the guild’s private domain, members’ skill talents and equipped items in their gear slots remain usable, unaffected by the game lobby’s rules; all public facilities like tea houses, swimming pools, gyms, etc., in the private domain are open to members for free, and food and beverages in the dining and café areas are also available to members for free.]
[Members can travel freely between 2,088 game lobbies, enjoying convenient travel while also having the autonomy to choose game instances. Currently, our guild has successfully opened as many as three thousand instances, and members can choose an appropriate theme at any time based on their interests and needs, provided they meet the level requirements.]
[Our guild has established a very mature and diverse equipment library, with over thirty thousand pieces of equipment in total, all of which members can freely borrow.]
[With the guild’s electronic membership card, members can enjoy a 90% discount at any state-run shop.]
The invitation letter contained dozens of listed member rights, but even just those four points alone were enough to attract Wen Nan.
Members can use equipment skills freely in their private domain? So that’s why that yellow-haired guy disappeared suddenly—it was due to one of the disciple’s skills or equipment?
Members shop at state-run stores with a 90% discount? So is that why things are priced so high in those stores? Because many members of large guilds can get such ultra-low discount benefits? Doesn’t scam the poor?
All thirty thousand pieces of equipment can be borrowed at will?
The instance part was the most enticing to Wen Nan—
Joining these large guilds allows you to freely choose the theme of the instance you are about to enter. That is to say, Wen Nan could specifically pick an instance with more girls, more variety, and a larger area to enjoy himself?
This sounded really enticing.
However, these temptations were not enough to make Wen Nan join the guild.
High benefits often come with expensive prices.
As expected, when Wen Nan flipped over to the member obligations part afterward, he immediately dismissed the idea of joining—
[Every member must pay a set membership fee to the guild each month, determined according to their income that month: if the income does not exceed 5000 gold coins, pay a 3% fee; between 5000 and 10,000 gold coins, pay a 10% fee; ...; between 660,000 and 960,000 gold coins, pay a 45% fee; above 960,000, pay a 55% fee.]
[Every member must undertake at least one task assigned by the guild each month when arranging their instance time freely. The difficulty and time of the task will be adjusted according to the member’s level and experience.]
[Every member must unconditionally comply with the president’s arrangements anytime, anywhere, respect, and remember any decisions made by the president.]
Just these three points were enough to dissuade Wen Nan.
According to the first point, Wen Nan now had 680,000 gold coins from the trial map, meaning that as soon as he joined, he would have to pay more than 300,000 gold coins. With his performance, the total number of gold coins could likely exceed 960,000 in a month, which could mean giving up most of his income.
Is he some kind of a fool?
As for the latter two points, Wen Nan found them even more unacceptable.
He had a laid-back nature, used to being lazy, with little ambition, but also extremely disliked being restrained.
Coming here, he intended to enjoy romance and life slowly. If he had to accept assigned tasks each month and respond to the president’s whims at any time, he would definitely not accept it.
After thinking it over, Wen Nan decided that rather than working for someone else, he might as well have others work for him.
He browsed through the invitation letter and quickly confirmed one thing—
To establish his guild, he first needed his private domain.
Therefore, he finally stood before the black building of the going-to-public center.
The large door was closed, and a small door that accommodates only one person at a time was open.
Wen Nan walked in through the small door and immediately saw the NPC receptionist standing behind the counter.
That receptionist, similar to the ones in the clothing and luggage store before, was formally dressed in a suit with slicked-back hair. Upon seeing Wen Nan, he asked in an emotionless tone:
"Anything you need?"
Wen Nan got straight to the point: "I want to buy a private domain."
The receptionist was taken aback upon hearing this—
This is the game lobby exclusively for beginners, where those transferred over typically have just gone through a few instances and have no money. Therefore, the going-to-public center set up here is rarely visited. It’s his first time encountering someone directly declaring they want to buy a private domain.
"What level are you? How many instances have you completed?"
Wen Nan replied without hesitation, "Just finished the trial map." He then asked, "Are there level or experience requirements for buying a private domain?"
"No, as long as you have the money." The receptionist’s impatience showed immediately after hearing "trial map".
"That’s good," Wen Nan nodded, "now show me what domains are currently for sale."
The receptionist rolled his eyes, turned to the back counter to get the display samples.
Wen Nan glanced at his back, thinking that NPCs in state-run shops always put on a sour face without changing their original intentions.
Upon this thought, Wen Nan couldn’t help but turn his head back to glance at Yu Shujun, only to see him standing there like a block of wood. Wen Nan looked away again.
The receptionist returned with a row of samples and placed them in front of Wen Nan with a series of ’thuds’.
A series of microwave-sized rectangular boxes were placed side by side, each presenting the details of the domains for sale in a holographic projection within the box.
At the bottom of each box was the price in golden letters—
58.88 million gold coins, 18.88 million gold coins, 6.88 million gold coins, 1.88 million gold coins, 880,000 gold coins, 680,000 gold coins.
Wen Nan scanned through them and finally saw one he could afford at the end, pointing to it and asking:
"Does the 680,000 one include the right to establish a guild?"
"Of course," the receptionist replied coldly, "Any private domain purchased from the going-to-public center comes with one guild establishment right."
Wen Nan nodded and decisively concluded: "Alright! I’ll take it!"
Upon hearing this, the receptionist looked disbelievingly at him—
Is it possible that a player just finished the trial map and already has the money to buy a private domain?
