Li Yao rode a bat, heading towards the Hinterlands for a mechanical blueprint — the Death Reaper 4000 model.

The prototype of the Death Reaper 4000 was the Wheatfield Puppet, a type of harvester used in the human world.

The Wheatfield Puppet originated from a scarecrow. It was invented by the goblins of a venture-capital company, who managed to dump it into human kingdoms. The original use was to guard wheat fields and drive away boars, birds, and the like.

The venture-capital company was one of the top five financial firms run by the goblins, an organization infamous for their goal to monopolize the world’s mining and oil collection industries. To protect their interests, they established a specialized group of pirates.

But it cannot be denied that the invention of machinery was deeply ingrained in the goblin’s bones.

As the human kingdom fell into chaos, a thief group rose to power and occupied a large region of the kingdom.

Seeing their interests during the uprising, the venture-capital company secretly supported the thief group in exchange for control over the mineral resources. This was the origin of the Human Sub-branch dungeon, the Death Mine.

In order to safeguard their interests, the venture-capital company invested heavily. Among them, Li Yao’s most valued was the Wheatfield Harvester, the Death Reaper 4000. Modified from the Wheatfield Puppet, it was not only capable of harvesting wheat but also served as a killing machine that harvested human heads.

Getting a blueprint for the Death Reaper from the Death Mine was useless. According to the data collected and analyzed from his past life, Li Yao concluded that the venture-capital company’s branch in the East Continent should actually be in the Hinterlands. This was the real reason he wanted to visit this place.

“I’ve prepared the rules for the guild, the benefits and point system, and some other regulations. Please have a look,” Li Jie sent him a message.

“Thanks for your hard work, Li Jie.” Li Yao sat on the bat, looking at the different rules. They were clear and comprehensive, obviously the fruition of a lot of effort, and precisely what he wanted.

“Any suggestions for amendments?” Li Jie asked.

“Haha, don’t make fun of me, Li Jie. I know nothing about such things. I could never create what you have here, even with a hundred of me. It’s excellent, so let’s go with it.”

Li Yao wasn’t being modest. Although he was reborn, he wasn’t omnipotent. He was an expert in gaming but a rookie in terms of regulations and guild management.

“Considering your recent performances, I really thought you were omnipotent.” Li Jie joked.

“I wish. I’ll make an announcement. The guild members can now undertake guild tasks.” Li Yao made an announcement. The members would be motivated to work harder with a thorough point system.

Li Jie laughed, “You underestimate them. The members have already formed teams to handle guild tasks since dawn.”

“What…” Li Yao was taken aback as there wasn’t any benefit system yet; the tasks yielded no points.

“You’ve been busy with Xiayao setting up the company, so it’s understandable that you’re not aware.” Li Jie continued, “After both of you went offline, the elites led separate teams to the Evil Cave with the Elite Mode. A total of twenty teams cleared it.”

Li Yao nodded. The Elites Mode was not too challenging with the guide he compiled. As long as the orders were issued properly, they should be able to clear it.

“Oh, I’ve stored a thousand bundles of Shining Fruits in the guild warehouse. You can use them as you please when you’re clearing Master Level dungeons. I’ll leave the decision to you,” Li Yao mentioned.

“Alright, I’ve seen it. This alone is a great benefit.” Li Jie laughed, “By the way, I’ve leased a small plot of land in Undercity using your name. To my surprise, your name carries some weight. The undead officer selected a prosperous spot close to the auction house for our guild station when he heard that it was for your guild. Though he didn’t give us a discount, we could pick any available station. The spot is large, but a little expensive, costing 50 gold coins a month.”

“I overlooked that, but we’re not short of money,” Li Yao momentarily forgot about leasing a station. It was just that the fees were high, so only a few major guilds could afford to lease one during the early phase of the game.

“Alright, that covers everything. You can proceed with your tasks while I recruit some lifestyle gamers at the station. I suggest that we nurture our own, which could foster a sense of belonging and is simpler and more reliable. We could then max out the guild members,” Li Jie suggested.

“OK, you arrange it. And as far as I know, aside from the guild hall, dormitory, and the training ground, aren’t there some exterior buildings neighboring the streets? Can we turn those into shops? We can offer some discounts to our members, which could be another perk. And we can also earn some money from outsiders.”

“I checked. They don’t allow individuals to open shops,” Li Jie was perplexed. She knew that to open a personal shop, firstly, the reputation of one’s race had to reach ‘Veneration.’ Currently, most of them were at ‘Friendly,’ far from reaching ‘Veneration.’

“Maybe not anywhere else, but Undercity surely can. No one would dare oppose me over such a minor matter. Even if they do, I can handle it. It may take a little time to get up and running. When it does, I’ll just go about it in the usual way,” Li Yao confidently said. He’d become pretty chummy with the maid at the queen’s side, and she could easily take care of these trivial matters.

“Hmm, this is worth considering. Let me plan it out,” Li Jie saw great business potential in this.

“Okay, you go on.” Li Yao ended the call, heaving a sigh of relief. Having a proficient manager was of utmost importance for a guild. His guild would soon get on track.

Li Yao arrived at Kael’Dan and located Kael’Dan’s Military Officer Windcaller. He saluted and asked, “Officer, I heard that the Drywood Trolls have been restless lately and have designs on Kael’Dan. Is there anything I can assist you with?”

Windcaller nodded, “You’re well-informed. Indeed the Drywood Trolls have been acting increasingly erratically lately. I’ve sent out some scouts and the news they brought back isn’t optimistic. I have two tasks for you. Would you be interested in taking them on?”

“Sure, I await your commands,” Li Yao saluted the Elven military.

“Excellent! The first one is a personal task. As I’ve heard you’d become the successor to the General, as a Dark Ranger, you’re good at concealing and spying. I would want you to sketch a military map of the Drywood Fortress. Would you accept this task?”

“I’d gladly take it up,” Li Yao answered.

Task: Sketch the Drywood Fortress Defense Map

Task description: Infiltrate the Drywood Fortress to investigate its strength and weakness. This task is extremely life-threatening.

Task requirement: Sketch the Defence Map of Drywood Fortress.

Task reward: 15% Experience, 1 Dark Badge, 100 Dark Camp reputation points…

ps: Sorry for the late update, there was a delay in changing the map.

Also, I request for the monthly beginning votes. I’ve been getting blasted, if I don’t get an influx of votes from you guys, I’ll be in big trouble. I seek the support of your monthly votes…
