Infinite weird games

Registering a guild can be done anywhere where the roots of the World Tree pass.

After dinner, Qi Si led Lin Chen away from the main trunk of the World Tree.

He walked through the buildings built by human players on the ruins, passed the temporary camp where people gathered, and walked for another half an hour until he could no longer see a single person on the desolate land. He stopped.

The land of Sunset Ruins is not easy to walk on. The uneven cracked ground is interspersed with bricks and stones, which is comparable to a cross-country hiking site.

Lin Chen followed Qi Si through mountains and rivers, and walked in a dusty manner. He almost stumbled and bumped into Qi Si's back several times.

At this moment, he stood still on a barely flat open space, panting and asking: "Brother Qi, why do we have to hide from people? I heard that after the guild is registered, it will be announced on the stone tablet, and everyone will know it then."

"But they won't know how our guild was established, how many members there are, and who they are." Qis squatted in front of a gully half a person's width, reaching out to fish out the golden roots lying in it.

He condensed the phantom of the [Scarlet Priest] card on his fingertips, covering the roots, and silently recited the four words "Register Guild" in his heart.

This is the simplest default process in the forum: first attract the attention of the World Tree through special items closely related to the weird game - such as props and identity cards, and then express your own demands to trigger the automatic reply preset by the game mechanism.

[Registering a guild requires paying 10,000 points]

The silver-white text refreshed, and a points payment progress bar appeared on the system interface.

——It is not uncommon for founders to share expenses and build a guild together, so Weird Game has designed a humanized fundraising mechanism. Players within a five-meter radius can see the fundraising progress bar and invest points into it.

It is said that there were several cases in the early days where the founders of other guilds threw points in the wrong place, and the fun people wandered around and threw points randomly. Fortunately, the list of guild members was still based on the contract, so there was no big trouble in the end.

Of course, it is best to find a deserted place to build a guild like Qis, which can directly avoid all potential troubles.

Qis threw 5,000 points into the fundraising bar, and the golden beam flowed, filling half of the long groove.

Lin Chen woke up from a dream and started to throw points to fill the remaining half of the groove.

[Points paid, enter the registration process]

The golden fluid in the groove scattered into light spots, weaving into the shape of a contract in front of the eyes, with hot gold text floating on the translucent thin bottom.

A feather pen floated around the contract, quite lively.

Qi Si turned his head to look at Lin Chen who was standing there stupidly: "You are the president, you fill it in."

"...Ah? I am the president?"

When Qi Si said "You are the president and I am the vice president" before, Lin Chen thought he had heard it wrong.

Until now Qi Si repeated it again, he knew that it was not an auditory hallucination.

The rules of the weird game simply and crudely set the guild as the president's property. The vice president is certainly a position recognized by the mechanism, but usually only has the right to make suggestions and management.

Although the rights and responsibilities are equal, there is a saying in the forum that "members fly bravely, and the president takes the blame", but once the guild develops steadily, the president will be the direct beneficiary.

On the one hand, Lin Chen does not think that with Qi Si's character, he will make a big pot for him to take; on the other hand, he does not intend to forget his principles for the sake of profit and act recklessly by relying on the president's authority.

But what virtue and ability does he have to enjoy the greatest benefits in the guild registered with joint investment?

Qi Si said calmly: "According to the so-called convention, all guilds have the obligation to send people to participate in joint actions. As a newly established guild, we are being watched by countless eyes and we will inevitably have no way to escape.

"If I am right, an old guild will soon contact us and ask us to send people to fulfill our responsibilities. The first task is likely to be not easy. On the one hand, it will serve as a warning to us, and on the other hand, it will also test our depth.

"For thirty-six years, there has been no reason for the president to handle tasks personally. If we set a precedent, we will appear to be manipulated and inferior, and we will also show our weakness in strength.

"In other words, if I am the president, when other guilds challenge our guild, you can only take charge alone."

Qisi lowered his eyes and sighed: "Lin Chen, do you think you have enough strength to deal with the endless variables and crises? "

This was a harsh remark, and it was the harshest thing Qi Si had said since they met in Rose Manor.

Lin Chen knew that this was not an exaggeration.

After the Frog Hospital dungeon, his ranking in the rookie list only climbed 37 places, to [48], and that was even with the identity card [Bird-beak Doctor].

His qualifications in all aspects were mediocre, his knowledge needed to be expanded, his intelligence and force were only at the level of ordinary people, and his ability was more auxiliary... Such a person was undoubtedly not good enough in this strange game where geniuses arose in large numbers.

If it weren't for Qi Si, he wouldn't even survive the first dungeon in the novice pool.

Although he didn't want to believe in the zero-sum game attribute of the jungle in the game world, what he had heard and seen in the past month would no longer foolishly regard those high-sounding old-fashioned guilds as good people as before.

Therefore, he could understand Qi Si's unsympathetic and serious attitude.

Deciding to establish a guild, getting involved in the competition and contest that had been cultivated for decades, and trying to stir up the solidified interest system, he was bound to face pressure from all sides.

Every decision in the future must be made with caution, because one careless move can result in your body being shattered into pieces.

Lin Chen whispered: "Brother Qi, you have always been helping me. I don't understand many things. What if I mess up?"

"Screwed up..." Qisi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then our president and vice-president will die together."

"Uh...huh?"

"So you can't screw up." Qisi suppressed his smile, his eyes sinking like a pool of water, "Not only that, you must try your best to do your best.

"The puppet master should have told you about the 'Gate', 'Tower' and 'Card'. Now that the 'Gate' and 'Tower' have been opened, chaos is about to break out, and order is in jeopardy. Under despair and fear, there are more People are willing to take risks and violate established rules.

"If you hold an identity card and don't have the protection of your own power, you will be like a child trying to make money in the market. At that time, you will either be forced to join an existing guild and become a skeleton to fill the dead point; or you will be targeted by speculators and fall into endless trouble. hostility and targeting.

"You have gone through so many dungeons, and you should have a certain understanding of the gunman game principles and the exclusivity of human groups. Those who have not received identity cards will definitely be happy to kill you even if they know that they cannot snatch other players' identity cards. People who are suspected to have a higher probability of survival.

"In the weird game, if you don't become the sin itself, you will be swallowed up by the sins of others... There is not much time left for you."

Lin Chen nodded slowly.

If he followed Qisi to register a guild before, he just agreed vaguely because of the atmosphere; now, he clearly understands the necessity and urgency of registering his own guild, and there is no way to retreat.

Even though it is still unknown what will happen next, even though the Sunset Ruins is still covered with a veil of peace and tranquility, even though there are still many doubts about the role of the identity card...

But the principles are the same.

When new players join an established guild, if they don't have any skills, they will definitely not receive as much attention as the old ones, and they will easily become discarded pawns in the general trend.

It is imperative to create a new guild, at least it will not be oppressed internally, and it can be bluffing externally, so that others cannot see the depth and dare not make random decisions.

Lin Chen stopped dawdling, reached out to take the deed paper and quill pen in the void, and looked at the first line.

"Guild name?"

Qisi said: "You decide."

He had actually thought about naming the guild something like "Scarlet" or something that could point to his divine name, but first it was too straightforward and it sounded like it was related to a certain identity card; secondly... it was too neutral. .

As a name-dropper, Ziss decided to leave this unimportant issue to the tool man.

"I decide?" Lin Chen thought hard, "'Hell Front'? 'Reverse Cross'? 'Central Continent Team'?"

Zeiss added: "Don't be too weird."

In the end, the two naming experts decided on the name of the guild as "Unnamed" after rejecting a bunch of strange names such as "Heaven and Earth Family Great Love Alliance", "Ziu Wangdao" and "Tarot Club".

Well, it's even weirder.

"Then...the name of the president."

"Don't write your real name," Ziss suggested. "Write an alias that is related to you."

Lin Chen, who had already written the word "Lin", glanced at the [Doctor Beak] card in the upper right corner of his sight, and wrote the word "Crow" after "Lin".

The mask held by Doctor Bird's Beak looks quite like a crow, so let's just assume it is a crow mask.

In the column of vice president, the name "Si Qi" was naturally filled in.

Since a lot of information has been exposed due to Chang Xu's live broadcast, it is better to make mistakes and contact other forces as "Si Qi".

Although the Weird Investigation Bureau and the Jiuzhou Guild that are closely related to it know that "Si Qi" is equal to "Qisi", they do not know the relationship between "Qi Wen", "Zhou Ke", "Cheng An" and "Si Qi", nor do they know the relationship between "Qi Wen", "Zhou Ke", "Cheng An" and "Si Qi". Know that "Ziss" has a side job besides being a taxidermist.

So, it's not a big problem.

"Brother Qi, it says here that you can designate a place in the weird game as a guild base, and you need to pay a rental fee of 1,000 points every week." Lin Chen pointed to a line of small words on the deed.

Qisi leaned over and asked Weird Game: "Is it necessary to have a base to register a guild?"

Weird game: [Yes, the base can be used as a place for guild members to meet and communicate, and it also undertakes important functions such as collective decision-making and recruiting new people, so it is indispensable]

Qisi took out the [Poseidon's Specially Approved Order] and [Poseidon's Scepter] from the item list, and asked: "As long as it's the realm in the weird game, right?"

【……Yes. 】

"The Frog Hospital is a copy of Weird Game and is essentially under my control. Can it be used as a guild base?"

【……OK. 】

"Well, let's take the Frog Hospital. I use my own land, so I don't need to pay rent anymore, right?"

【Yes. 】

Lin Chen stared at Qisi's operation in stunned silence, and he could hear the gnashing of teeth in the cold system sound.

The crumpled pass turned into a point of light and disappeared in Qisi's hand. There was a string of incomprehensible coordinates after the [Guild Location] column, and the four small words [Frog Hospital] were written next to it.

Lin Chen stumbled and asked: "Qi...Brother Qi, when did you take control of the Frog Guild?"

"This is an unexpected surprise from the last dungeon." Qi Si touched his chin and said calmly, "My Poseidon Scepter prop was taken away by the dean for a while. During this period, he probably transferred the control of the Frog Hospital to the scepter in order to establish an anchor point and stabilize his own existence.

"Later, he shot himself in the foot and died in the ritual of extraditing evil spirits. The previous operations naturally made wedding clothes for others... Well, I was lucky and finally picked up the leak. "

Lin Chen blinked and asked, "Then is this Frog Hospital still considered a game dungeon now?"

"It should be considered." Qi Si looked up at the sky, "Didn't the weird game just now default that the Frog Hospital belongs to the dungeon?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "If this is true, then our guild will make a lot of money!

"Brother Qi, you may not know that many players will spend 5,000 points to specify a simple dungeon to enter after the seven-day countdown ends. Guild members do not need to spend money to enter the guild base.

"In other words, if members of our guild do not want to match unfamiliar dungeons in the future, they can go to the Frog Hospital every seven days and treat it as having entered the dungeon.

"At present, there are only a few old guilds such as Jiuzhou and Tingfeng, which have guild bases with the nature of dungeons, and they are all used as training grounds, and ordinary members are not allowed to enter casually.

"As long as other players know that our guild has the Frog Hospital dungeon as a base, we will no longer worry about not being able to recruit new members!"

Qisi listened to Lin Chen quietly, tilted his head and looked at him: "Why do we want to recruit new members?"

Lin Chen was stunned: "Ah? Aren't we recruiting people?"

"How can you make sure that the other party is loyal and not a willful opportunist? How to judge whether the other party has ulterior motives for joining our guild? How to ensure that the other party is not an undercover sent by other guilds, or will not accidentally reveal the secrets of our guild?"

Qisi asked three questions in a row, and sighed faintly: "I don't intend to force every player who joins the guild to sign a soul contract, but I am also worried about handing the future of the guild to strangers who don't know the background.

"An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. You also said that only a few guilds have dungeons as guild bases. If other old guilds knew that we, a new guild, own the territory of the Frog Hospital, would they treat it with a normal mind and not be jealous and covetous?

"At that time, they can say that we are in collusion with the weird game and sell out the interests of mankind to get the dungeon as a base; or directly say that we have encountered an accident in the dungeon and have become weird itself, and then stand on the moral high ground to annex our guild.

"After all, we are still too weak. The right to judge right and wrong has always belonged to the strong, isn't it?"

Lin Chen was indoctrinated with a thick black theory, his palms clenched and opened, and a thin layer of sweat gradually covered the surface.

When in "Rose Manor", Qi Si also said some words to him that were not in line with public order and good customs, but after all, they were not close friends.

Now he suddenly revealed all the dirty secrets to him, probably because he had taken the position of president and had to grow up quickly so as not to show his weakness in the turbulent struggle for interests.

Lin Chen knew that he could no longer shrink in the ivory tower as he wished in the past.

People always have to grow up, either from school to society, disenchanted with purity and romance; or recognize the truth of the world and embrace fear and the unknown.

He had to shoulder the responsibility, learn to form alliances, and guard against open and hidden arrows; what he was betting on next was not only his fate, but also Qi Si's...

Qi Si looked into Lin Chen's eyes and said with a smile: "President Lin, draw the emblem."

The last column of the contract was printed with the outline of a badge shape, leaving plenty of blank space.

Lin Chen pondered for a long time, holding a feather pen and drawing a tilted cross on it, which looked like a twisted fork at first glance.

The contract scattered into the void and disappeared.

Two bloody metal badges fell into the hands of the only two members of the guild, and the black cross on the surface was solemn and ominous.

At the same time, all the players in the Sunset Ruins heard the system broadcast.

[Congratulations to the player "Lin Wu Ya" for successfully registering the "Unnamed" guild]

Under the World Tree, the last line of the guild power list, the three words [Unnamed] are listed prominently.

[2397, Unnamed, President: Lin Wu Ya, Vice President: Si Qi] (End of this chapter)
