After pulling Number One Tycoon into the guild, Tidus bid farewell to the village chief and headed outside the Novice Village. Since he probably couldn't gather a five-person team for a while, he'd level up a bit first.
At this time, the guild chat channel lit up.
"Oh my, Boss Tyrant, there are only the two of us in the guild." Number One Tycoon said.
"Yes, although there are only two of us now, in the future, [Shadow League] will definitely be the strongest guild in 'God World,' bar none!" Tidus replied domineeringly.
In his previous life, Tidus had lived under someone else's roof and had suffered enough contempt and coldness. Living again, he naturally wanted to develop his own force. Of course, he wasn't interested in massive guilds with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of members. He hoped to establish a powerful guild with not many members, but where everyone was elite.
In his previous life, he had seen many players with perverted strength. In this life, he would recruit them all into his guild.
"That's right. Although Shadow League is small now, with you as president, there will surely come a day when the great dragon rises with the wind in one day, soaring up ninety thousand miles... Anyway, enough talk. Let me make some contributions to the guild first!"
After Number One Tycoon spoke, a long row of messages appeared in the guild chat channel...
"Guild member [Number One Tycoon] spent 1,000 gold coins to upgrade the guild member limit, gained 1,000 contribution points. Current guild member limit: 60 people!"
"Guild member [Number One Tycoon] spent 1,000 gold coins... Current guild member limit: 70 people!"
"Guild member [Number One Tycoon] spent 1,000 gold coins... Current guild member limit: 80 people!"
"Guild member [Number One Tycoon]..."
...
"Guild member [Number One Tycoon] spent 1,000 gold coins... Current guild member limit: 5,000 people!"
Guild notification messages scrolled for hundreds of lines!
In God World increasing the guild member limit by one required spending 100 gold coins. And Number One Tycoon, in just a short while, forcibly upgraded the Shadow League guild members from 50 to 5,000, spending a full 495,000 gold coins...
That was a real $49,500!
Number One Tycoon's guild contribution also reached as much as 495,000...
"Damn, this rich player is a bit willful..."
At this moment, Tidus was stunned. Just joined and immediately spent nearly 500,000. This Number One Tycoon really lived up to his name!
"Oh my, this broken game God World only lets you upgrade 10 people at a time. My hand is sore from clicking." Number One Tycoon complained in the guild channel.
"Uh..." Tidus was speechless.
"That, League Lord, do you think 5,000 people is enough? If not, I'll continue upgrading?" Number One Tycoon asked again.
"No need, no need! Our guild follows the elite route. We don't need too many people. 5,000 is enough." Tidus quickly stopped Number One Tycoon. Well, if he let this rich player do as he pleased, he'd probably upgrade the guild members to tens of thousands.
That would be too wasteful...
Near the Novice Village, there weren't any particularly good leveling spots. Tidus randomly found a place and started grinding monsters.
While grinding, Tidus was also pondering what background this Number One Tycoon had...
Why was he suddenly so generous to the guild?
He carefully recalled his memories from his previous life but didn't remember a rich player called Number One Tycoon. Could it be that after being reborn, he had inadvertently changed the timeline?!
Half an hour later.
After Tidus killed a wild chicken, he looked at his experience, it had barely increased. The leveling speed was really too far behind the dock.
As for forming a team, only a few people had privately messaged Tidus, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they made all kinds of demands and were only willing to pay a few thousand, or even a few hundred gold coins. They were all directly blacklisted by Tidus.
"President, I've been looking at young ladies at the [Scourge Camp] entrance for ages. When will our team be ready..."
At this time, Number One Tycoon was also complaining in the guild channel.
"Wait a bit longer. Should be soon..." Tidus said. He was even more anxious than Number One Tycoon.
"President, how about this, I'll pay all four people's money, a total of 450,000 gold coins. Let's just go clear [Scourge Camp] now, get the first clear, get on the world banner. Wouldn't that be great..." Number One Tycoon replied.
"Uh, this..." Tidus's face was full of black lines. This rich player's way of thinking was indeed quite different from ordinary people...
That said, running [Scourge Camp] with two people, he wasn't really afraid...
Just, would this be a bit too high-profile...
"President, let me first see if I can call a few people to join the group. Otherwise, it's settled, just the two of us." Number One Tycoon seemed a bit anxious too.
"Alright..."
Tidus nodded. He also understood that generally, the richer people were, the less time they had. Conversely, the less money people had, the more time they had. From this perspective, the world was quite fair.
A while later, Tidus witnessed how so-called rich players recruited team members.
In the Novice Village chat channel, suddenly a row of announcements spammed the screen.
"Dear friends, [Scourge Camp] first clear, Boss Tyrant leading the team. Currently need 3 more, 100,000 gold coins per person, 100% guaranteed pass. If we don't pass, I [Number One Tycoon] will fully refund the 100,000 gold coins! +1."
"Dear friends... +2."
"Dear friends... +3."
"Dear friends... +4."
...
"Dear friends... +1000."
The announcements kept spamming non-stop for a full 5 minutes, reaching 1,000 messages. Calculating at $1 per announcement, that meant spending 10,000 gold coins in one go...
The Novice Village chat channel also instantly exploded...
