MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Wild Ambition
Sister Li looked at the location on the map, flipped through some materials, and said, “Why would you choose this place? I think it’s inappropriate.”

Li Yao laughed and said, “But I think this place is the most suitable one. Though it’s a tough start, if we really get going, the potential for development here is endless.”

“That’s impossible. This place is near the coast. There are many shipwrecks and numerous ghosts gathering around the broken ships. The coastal area is the territory of the Murloc. Furthermore, there’s a huge werewolf lair near the coast. According to Shadow Dance’s information, this is a ruined relic. Although these three types of monsters are not very high level, their sheer numbers make clearing them out a huge trouble if we set up base here.”

Li Yao nodded, “Everything you’ve mentioned is right, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Is there any other reason this place is unsuitable?”

Sister Li shared some pictures and a video, saying, “This is the detailed information discovered by Shadow Dance. Look, the site you chose is a Werewolf lair, a ruined relic of unidentified origin. There is a river from the relics that flow into the sea, making it easy for Murlocs to attack here.”

“On the left is a boundless forest full of various monsters like spiders, wolves, bears, etc. On the right is a vast plain, and more importantly, it has been overrun by an unknown entity, we won’t find any grass growing here, but it’s a paradise for sand-life.”

“So, there are far too many monsters that need clearing. It would come at a great cost to establish a base here. Therefore, I don’t think it’s suitable for our guild’s base.”

“I’m already aware of everything you’ve just mentioned.” Li Yao said, smiling.

“Considering the seriousness in your words, you seem genuinely interested in constructing the guild base here.” Sister Li asked, puzzled, “Could you tell me why?”

“It’s simple. In comparison to my goal and plan, the difficulties you’ve just mentioned are trivial.” Li Yao adjusted the map and said, “As you see, there are maps of different levels surrounding the sandbar. This area is extremely good. Plus, the Dark Camp has hardly any transfer stations or supply stations nearby. The consequence of this is that players will require a significant amount of time to travel here, resulting in fewer players leveling up in this area.”

Sister Li’s eyes lit up, “Are you intending to turn this place into a transfer station to increase the base’s popularity?”

Li Yao shook his head and said, “No, your ambitions are too low. My goal is to construct our guild base into a main city.”

Although Sister Li also wanted to build the base into a city, she never thought that Li Yao’s ambition was so big, to build it into a main city was nothing short of a joke.

Even in the Dark Camp, there are at least two races, the Trolls and Goblins, that don’t have a main city and nestle under the wing of the Orcs, sharing a main city with them. It’s not that they don’t want their main city, but mainly because they haven’t found a suitable location and don’t have enough power.

And Li Yao actually wanted to build a main city, which was simply too insane.

“What I mean is, there are plenty of leveling maps around for all levels, if there’s a city, players and NPCs will gather here, ensuring its prosperity, and these are the basic conditions for building a main city.” Li Yao explained.

“But I still don’t understand why this place is suitable to be a main city.”

“At the beginning, we will construct a guild base, but as you see, it is close to the sea. The mouth of this river is an excellent port. After the city is expanded, a dedicated port area can be built. And due to the abundance of nearby adventure maps, transportation won’t be a problem. The local resources are also very abundant, but they lack a transfer station.”

“Is there more?”

“Although there are a lot of monsters around, it’s not impossible to clear them out. Plus, there is no huge threat nearby. As for the plains you mentioned, do you know about the Flashing Plain on the other continent?” Li Yao asked, smiling.

“The Flashing Plain?” Sister Li recalled the information in her mind, and her eyes suddenly lit up, “As far as I know, it’s a leveling map for levels 30 to 40. But the place you mentioned has a very famous race track, do you also want to build one?”

“Exactly, all of you have already experienced the allure of motorbikes, not only the NPCs who love the thrill, but also the players. If we build a huge racetrack on this plain, it will become a massive cash cow. There are more reasons, but I think, these two points already justify building a base here, don’t you think?”

“If the racetrack really is as you said, it would be worth the effort.” Sister Li also considered the benefits of a large port, if the city was built, it would undoubtedly become a transfer station for the Dark Camp. Even if they wanted to resist the Light Faction, the Dark Camp would inevitably support Starfire.”

With the great fortune brought by the racetrack, it’s indeed enough. The success of the goblin racetrack has already proved the point. If they can really construct one, it will definitely attract players and NPCs from the East Continent, promoting popularity through the port and the racetrack.

If so, the prosperity of the main city will naturally lead to the rise and development of other industries.

Thinking about this crazy plan, Sister Li felt it was absurd, but it wasn’t infeasible. Her blood immediately began to boil.

Li Yao’s fighting spirit was equally high. In the past life, the most prosperous player city was far behind the main city.

Building a main city is too difficult, and for him, it’s also an enormously challenging task. In this life, Li Yao’s first goal is to fulfill Hunter’s dream of divine enthronement. The second is to build a unique city of his own.

“Your plans are insane, you are trying to create a force that can compete with the NPCs.” Unparalleled Enchantress walked in.

“People always need to take on some challenges, otherwise, it would be boring.” Li Yao gestured for her to sit.

“In that case, I’ll join you in this madness. Regardless of success or failure, at least we’ll have lived wildly.” Unparalleled Enchantress flashed a determined light in her eyes.

Sister Li and Li Yao extended their hands, saying, “Welcome aboard.”

“Enough with the pleasantries, where’s the contract? My benefits can’t be lower than the guild leader’s.” Unparalleled Enchantress shook their hands and said.

“What happened to striving for your dreams? Haven’t the tides turned too quickly?” Li Yao forwarded the electronic contract. The basic salary was the same as Sister Li’s, with the most important part being 3% of the shares. That was the highest offer in the guild.

“Can’t we eat while striving for our dreams?” Although Unparalleled Enchantress was charming, she was straightforward and signed the contract directly. Starting from that moment, she was the manager of the club.

“Today is a happy day. I’ll also take this chance to look for blueprints. I’m certain I’ll get a bonus for luck.”…

PS: I’m home today, completely exhausted and sunburned. It’s a mixture of hot and cold. Let me sleep well tonight. I’ll start repaying my debts tomorrow. I’m still seeking monthly tickets and other kinds of support. Thanks in advance from Mario.
