ACSP: Chapter 143: Cloud Thunder Canyon!
After Jiang Chen roughly counted the supplies in the storage room, he returned to the main hall of the mansion.
At this moment, Lei Li had already dealt with the remaining personnel of the mansion.
These people all chose to stay in the end.
This surprised Jiang Chen a little.
These guys were previously forced to stay here and work by Ling Kai.
Now that he had given them the chance to choose, why did they all decide not to leave?
"Did you use strong-arm tactics on them?"
Jiang Chen turned his head and asked Lei Li.
Lei Li was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately laughed: "Do I need to coerce them to stay? I just told them about the membership benefits of our Heavenly Court, and they all stayed."
Jiang Chen looked at those people with some sympathy.
Obviously.
These people didn't have an easy time in the mansion before.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed just because of these small favors.
Just then.
Lei Li suddenly pulled him aside and whispered:
"Guild Leader, although we have now obtained the supplies from the Evil God Organization, Puppet City, and here at the mansion, if we go by the current guild benefits, as the number of guild members increases in the future, these supplies will definitely not be enough, especially regarding treasure chests."
"So I suggest that in the future, if anyone in the guild obtains resources in a secret realm, they must turn in 20% of the material rewards. As compensation, we can provide them with a certain amount of consumable items for free, such as Shuriken, explosive tags, etc."
"In addition to this, we should also set up a contribution leaderboard within the guild. From now on, whenever someone turns in supplies, they can accumulate a certain amount of contribution points. These contribution points can be used to exchange for some relatively rare items, such as skill books or the qualification to enter the Evil God Secret Realm."
"This way, the people in the guild will not only have greater enthusiasm for turning in supplies, but the resources within the guild will also be able to circulate, so we won't end up exhausting our stockpile."
"By the way, regarding the conditions for outsiders to enter our secret realms, I have also made a rough fee schedule..."
"Currently, we control 13 Novice Secret Realms, 8 intermediate secret realms, and 3 advanced secret realms. The number of Contractors and Class-Changers within Kang City is enormous. Once our secret realms are opened to the public, they will definitely bring huge resource income to the guild..."
Lei Li certainly has some ability when it comes to managing a guild.
In such a short time, he actually managed to sort out the guild's current shortcomings and the layout for its long-term development.
And he handled it flawlessly.
Jiang Chen felt very gratified by this.
It seems he didn't pick the wrong person this time.
This Lei Li is a talent for managing guilds.
Just as the two were talking.
Li Dala also arrived here, riding his clay bird.
"Jiang Chen, I've already distributed the flyers regarding the establishment of the Heavenly Court. I believe it won't be long before your Heavenly Court becomes a household name in Kang City."
Seeing that Li Dala was still calling Jiang Chen by his name, Lei Li immediately reminded him: "Li Dala, every country has its laws, and every guild has its rules. Since we are now part of the Heavenly Court, from now on, when you see Jiang Chen, you must address him as Guild Leader to maintain proper order."
Li Dala pouted somewhat reluctantly: "Fine, if you say Guild Leader, then Guild Leader it is."
Jiang Chen, however, smiled and waved his hand: "If you're not used to calling me that, you can continue calling me by my name. I don't mind."
"That won't do."
Lei Li said righteously: "If you want to make your guild bigger and stronger in the future, you must establish rules first. Only with strict guild discipline can there be lasting peace and stability."
Seeing that Lei Li insisted, Jiang Chen didn't say anything more.
Since they wanted to use his title.
Then let them be.
It wasn't like he was losing anything anyway.
With that matter settled, Jiang Chen didn't stay there for long.
There were still two days left until the Eastern District auction began.
He planned to level up during these two days.
Although grinding for experience in the [Forest of Death] over in Jinghai City is very comfortable.
Making a special trip there from Kang City would take an entire day.
That would take two days just for the round trip.
He wouldn't have any time left to grind in the secret realms.
Therefore, he had to set his sights on Kang City instead.
He consulted Lei Li and asked him to recommend a few intermediate secret realms suitable for grinding experience.
Anyway, their guild currently had 8 intermediate secret realms under its name.
There would surely be one suitable for grinding experience.
"If you want to grind experience, the intermediate secret realm 'Cloud Thunder Canyon' that used to belong to our Thunder God Temple is quite good."
"That secret realm doesn't have any complex procedures; you just go in, grind sea beasts, and protect Cloud Thunder Peak."
"With your current strength, you can just run the Hell difficulty. A single run should guarantee at least 100,000 experience points, and with the final performance bonus, you might even get 200,000. My brother and I used to grind there to reach level 51!"
Lei Li's eyes flickered, and a hint of sadness appeared in them, as if he were recalling something.
"Cloud Thunder Canyon? Alright, I understand."
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen decisively summoned his giant eagle and headed to the location of the [Cloud Thunder Canyon] secret realm.
...
The [Cloud Thunder Canyon] secret realm was located in a mountain stream 20 kilometers east of the Thunder God Temple.
Jiang Chen rode his summoned giant eagle all the way, and it only took him a short dozen minutes to reach his destination.
Just as he arrived there.
A white owl also flew in from the distant sky at the same time.
On the back of the owl stood a young girl in purple clothes with a ponytail.
It was clearly a summoned flying beast with an owner.
"Huh? Who is this guy? Why does he look a bit familiar?"
Seeing someone else riding a summoned flying beast here, the purple-clad girl curiously approached.
"This friend, my name is Luo Yuqing, and I am a manager at the Eastern District General Chamber of Commerce. You look a bit familiar; have we met somewhere before?"
"You must have mistaken me for someone else."
Jiang Chen glanced at Luo Yuqing, then immediately canceled his Summoning Jutsu and jumped straight down from high altitude.
Luo Yuqing's eyes widened instantly.
Heavens, is this guy crazy?
This is a hundred meters in the air.
Could he be a Contractor who specializes in taijutsu?
After reacting, Luo Yuqing immediately rode her owl and chased after him.
...
The [Cloud Thunder Canyon] secret realm had changed hands three times during this period.
At first, the ownership of this secret realm belonged to the Thunder God Temple.
Later, the Thunder God Temple was destroyed.
The ownership of the secret realm was then seized by Puppet City.
And now.
With the destruction of Puppet City.
The ownership of this secret realm had passed to Jiang Chen.
However.
Jiang Chen's guild had just been established, and there was a severe shortage of manpower at the moment.
They simply couldn't spare anyone to manage this secret realm.
As a result, this [Cloud Thunder Canyon] was still in a state of being unmanaged.
Although there were many people coming here to grind the secret realm, the crowd was mixed, and there was no sense of security at all.
Just as Jiang Chen approached the secret realm, he saw several teams fighting over some trivial matters.
Jiang Chen ignored these people.
He looked around, preparing to find a team that was short on people to enter the secret realm.
Unexpectedly, at this moment.
A few guys wearing black robes and anbu masks suddenly stood out from the crowd and blocked the entrance to the secret realm.
"Notice: starting from today, this secret realm will be taken over by the 'Heavenly Court'."
"Do you know what the Heavenly Court is? It's the new guild our Guild Leader Jiang Chen just established."
"In the future, if you want to enter this secret realm to grind experience, you must pay us 5 Bronze Treasure Chests. This is the rule set by our Guild Leader Jiang Chen..."
