"If you just want to meet the minimum standard for the Guild Guardian Beast, it is necessary to have at least a thousand Blade Queens. If you calculate this, you will need to invest between 1.7 billion and 2 billion."

"Are you talking about Korean won?"

"No, it's Olympus gold."

"Olympus gold?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot that now we are not Olympian gods, and we should use our own guild's currency system. Olympian gold coins are a special gold coins we use. One Olympian gold coins is equal to the value of two ordinary gold coins."

"You mean a thousand Blade Queens need to invest 3.40 million crystal coins?"

"No, three-point four is the minimum investment, and the actual investment should be between 3.40 million and 400 million crystal coins."

"A thousand Blade Queens need 3.40 million to 400 million crystal coins? On average, a Blade Queen will have nearly 400,000 crystal coins?"

Radamantis said very seriously: "I have said before that the price of the Queen of Blades is very exaggerated. In fact, what we invest is just a visible and tangible cost price, that is, the money we need to spend. During this period, we have to do a lot of things. Although these labor costs and some of the minerals we own are not required to buy, they are actually considered investment costs. I have not calculated these. Moreover, these uncalculated parts are just the big ones. If all the costs are converted, the price of a Queen of Blades should be around one million crystal coins, and the total investment of a thousand is at least one billion crystal coins."

"One thousand only requires one billion crystal coins?" After I heard the price, I shook my head and said, "This Blade Queen is good, but this price really makes people want to say: It's not easy to love you!"

"So are you going to use the Queen of Blade as one of the Guild Guardians?" Radamantis asked: "As far as I know, the Guild Guardians are not unlimitedly charged. It requires a certain Guild Level to open more Guild Guardians. There are already five types of Guild Guardians in our Guild. If the Queen of Blades occupy a position, do we still have empty seats?"

"Don't worry about this." I relaxed a little and said, "Even a creature like Snowball that is mainly cute and has almost no combat power. I can collect it as a guild guardian. You can think that the number of guardian beasts in our guild is not nervous. Although we already have five types of guardian beasts, it is the guild with the largest number of guardian beasts. In fact, the number of guardian beasts in our guild has reached ten. That is, half of them have been used, and there are still many remaining positions. I am afraid we will not be able to fill this position in the future, so there are no need to worry about the empty space of guardian beasts. The key is the funding issue."

Radamantis said: "You have to think about this. Once you decide, I will collect the materials as soon as possible and start cultivating. Of course, the funds must be in place immediately. Then I will help me with a group of people. In addition to the acquired resources, I have to find some of them myself. In addition, there are many other resources that need to be transported from various mine bases of the guild. So, you must first give me the exact number of cultivation."

I thought about it for a while and asked Radamantis to wait first. Then I directly contacted Rose with the ring of love.

"Wife, are you free now?"

"No urgent matter. What's wrong? Do you need me to do?" Rose asked.

"That's right. I just discovered a very good creature that can be used as a guardian beast of Guild. The combat power of this thing is extremely strong and it is a top-notch existence. However, the investment in this thing is a bit large. On average, each one needs one million crystal coins to be invested as a guardian for Guild. At least one thousand systems are needed to confirm the guardian contract of Guild, so I want to ask, can our guild support such consumption now? If we can support it, I will start preparing. Of course, if we have sufficient funds, it would be better to get a little more. After all, if we have one thousand, we can only equip the elite players in the guild, and most players will not use it!"

Rose did not answer me immediately, but asked me to wait first. After about a minute, Rose replied: "I just checked the account. The basic amount is 1,000, and the funds are enough. But what you said is too expensive. It is impossible for you to get one for everyone in the guild. How much do you want to equip me and tell me if I can squeeze out some funds for you. Recently, the guild has a lot of income, but it also has a lot of expenses! It is mainly because of the mobile angel's large-scale dressing, and this project occupied more than 18 billion crystal coins. Fortunately, we sold the eliminated mobile angels for more than 30 billion. Finally, we made a small profit."

"I... you sold 3 billion yuan of mobile angels that I spent 1.3 billion yuan to build. I actually told me that this is a small profit?"

"No, no." Rose explained: "The one you said that spent 1.3 billion is the fourth generation motor angel, and the one I said that sold 3 billion is the third generation. The fourth generation machine is still in use. The fifth generation machine is being built, and because the third generation machine is sold 3 billion, there is no need to worry about the construction cost of the fifth generation machine. So soon you can see that our guild will mass-equip the fifth generation machine. When we need the fifth generation machine to be replaced, I will sell one-tenth of the fourth generation machine, so that the research and development and construction costs of the sixth generation machine will be available."

"Although I am the boss myself, your sales method is really good enough for a profiteer. I really want to know how much money you can squeeze out for me."

"It depends on how valuable your guardian beast plan is. If it is related to the life and death of the guild, I can draw 50 to 6 billion crystal coins for you right now. However, many industries in our guild must be temporarily closed, and the revenue of the guild will decline in the short term, which may cause some irreversible losses in some industries."

"It's not that exaggerated. But this guardian beast is really awesome and can greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the guild personnel, so of course the more it is better."

"If it's just this, I can give you two billion so that you can get two thousand of those guardian creatures."

"No, no, no, two billion can produce more than 5,000. The one I told you before is just investing all the labor costs, even counting the labor costs. In fact, the projects we need to spend only 400 million are enough."

Rose thought for a moment and said, "If you say this, I actually think you can make some adjustments."

"Make a little more flexible? How to do it?"

"Equipment each of the middle and senior managers of the guild with one such guild guardian, and deduct a certain amount of guild contribution per person. The same method is the same for the main elite combatants of the guild. These two parts require about 1,000 guardian beasts to be consumed. After all, a large part of the middle and senior managers and elite combatants overlap, so one thousand should be more than enough. We set two standards for the remaining members based on the guild level. Members can exchange this guardian beast through guild contribution and money. After all, you say this is a very powerful creature.

.Since you think this is a powerful creature at your level, it must be a very strong creature. This is equivalent to finding a demon pet that does not occupy the quota of demon pets for the members. Moreover, the guild protection investment is much less than the demon pet. Although it cannot be strengthened by means of breeding and other methods, it is much lower than the development potential of demon pets, but it is a powerful combat creature after all, so the actual benefits that members get are very great. Since they have such a great income, why can't they pay a certain amount of money to buy this benefit? Anyway, even if they pay, they make a lot of money."

I nodded and said, "I think this idea is feasible. This kind of creature is called the Blade Queen. If it is priced at 400,000 yuan per person, I think even if I buy it myself, there will be a large group of players rushing to buy it. After all, the combat effectiveness of the magic pet egg with the same value outside is two or three levels lower than the Blade Queen. Of course, if the members are asked to pay in full, only some people can afford it. The 400,000 crystal coin is 4 million yuan, and we don't care, but for ordinary players, this is a huge sum of money."

Rose nodded and said, "So we can allow players to pay part of the guild contribution points instead of funds. Moreover, the strength of members has improved, and in the end, we, the Frost Rose Alliance, have gained actual benefits. This means that in turn helps the guild develop, so we can start from this point of view. As investment in the infrastructure of our guild, we will directly subsidize part of the funds, and let players pay the remaining part with their own money and contribution points."

"So how do you divide this ratio?"

"My initial plan is to divide members into three different levels. The lowest level is reserve members. These people are still guild inspectors and have no formal staffing, so they have to pay more. We convert the contribution degree into money, so they can use their own money and contribution degree to consider how to pay in detail. However, the proportion of contribution degree in the payment method must not exceed half of the total payment amount at most. More advanced than these people are formal members. These members can also pay with money and contribution degree, but they need to pay.

The total amount can be defined as 80% of the reserve members. In addition, the maximum payment amount of these formal members is allowed to pay 75% of the total amount using the contribution degree. The last level is an elite member, but it is not the main elite combat power of the guild, nor are these members of the middle and senior management. For these members, the total amount of payment can be limited to half of the reserve members. Then they do not limit the transaction ratio, and they can pay in full with the contribution degree or use money, and choose at their own choice. Do you think this arrangement is feasible?"

I thought about it for a moment and nodded, "It's very good, but the specific proportion may need to be considered in detail. You can let the staff team be responsible for this matter."

Rose followed and said, "By this standard, I think you can equip more than 80% of the players in the guild with the kind of blade queen you mentioned. I guess most members will find ways to buy one except those who really have no money."

"Actually, I think even if you equip everyone in the guild, it should be enough." I said: "I think all the players in our guild should be quite rich."

My guess is not random guessing, but the result of my own reasoning. You must know that the game "Zero" has invaded almost all parts of the world, and at least 20% of the players have regarded the world in the game as their own main world, and the world in reality has become an optional auxiliary world. Of course, this phenomenon is mainly caused by the joint promotion of governments of various countries. After all, the resources on the earth are now concentrated to build immigration ships, and countries cannot support a large number of people to consume various resources as before. In this case, the best way is to send all people into the game. A player only needs a comfortable bed and consumes a small amount of electricity when entering the world of "Zero". But if this person is active in reality, his consumption is at least tens of or even hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of times that in the game.

Because of the ability of Zero, governments are actively promoting the process of gamification of the whole nation and sending people into the game so that they can concentrate their efforts to build immigration ships. After all, the space immigration ships are built, and the number is so large. The consumption is very terrifying. There is only a little resource on the earth. If everyone does not stay in the game, they will immediately find abnormalities in social resources, and then various inflation, economic recession and other things happen one after another. Of course, there will inevitably be a series of problems such as high unemployment rate and social turmoil. These problems will inevitably turn into riots and demonstrations. Once the country falls into chaos, the news of immigration ships will be leaked. Then everyone will know that the end of the world has entered the countdown stage. Then the world loses hope and begins to be completely confused. In the end, let alone save most people, it is a problem to fly several immigration ships.

This series of consequences are foreseeable, so the politicians of all countries understand that this is a consequence that governments and even all human beings cannot bear. Therefore, they cannot let this happen. Therefore, when the game Zero was proposed, it was able to cover the global network in a flash, and governments would forcibly require banks from various countries to guarantee the monetary constitution of the game Zero. There is no deterrent of the Doomsday Crisis, the sword of Damocles. Banks in various countries will be stupid and let you exchange game coins for real currency? Even if a banker has really done this, without the fact that governments in various countries use powerful means to guide ordinary people into the game, it is estimated that the bank will go bankrupt in just two days, and the monetary system in the game will also have problems.

It is precisely because of the current environment that many players regard the world of "Zero" as the main world, so these people have almost transferred all their property into the game world. In reality, they may only have a set of snail residences, usually eating some food that can survive, but they live in super mansions in the game, enjoying the delicacies that cannot be eaten in reality all day long. Although the food in the game is fake, because these delicious information is directly transmitted to the brain, as long as they do not withdraw from the game, humans themselves will not feel the slightest false feeling. Even after the game is long, many people will think that the real world is a false world.

This phenomenon of turning games and reality in reverse is actually a very common psychological problem. When a person lives in two identities, he will gradually determine that the better life is real. For example, an extremely poor and helpless person is suddenly invited to play the role of a son of a deceased mob who has been separated for many years. This person is going to play the role of this rich young man during this period and suddenly lives a rich life. People around him are enthusiastic and respectful to him. Gradually, he will forget that he is just a pitiful person and think that he is the rich young man. This is a psychological escape from human beings. It belongs to a normal reaction that everyone has. The difference is that some people can suppress this situation with reason, while some people will gradually forget their true selves and regard their role as their true selves.

Now the 20% of the people who regard the game world as the main world are basically this type of people. If it were the past, the government would certainly stop this in-depth game addiction. But the special significance of "Zero" is that it can make people fall into it and cannot extricate themselves. The government will not only not force these people to quit gaming addiction, but also hope that more people will fall into it.

Because there are such a large number of players who regard games as real, even if other players can still recognize that games are games, they no longer feel that throwing money into games like ordinary games. Moreover, because everyone is throwing money into games, if anyone thinks about it, the money they throw in games can easily be exchanged for real money. This situation will not only not cause everyone to exchange things in the game for real money, but will instead cause more people to throw more money into the game. This is actually a social effect, which is the same as those in real estate speculation and gold speculation in reality. Because some people buy, more people follow them, and then the remaining people find that everyone is buying, so they try their best to buy. This is the behavioral characteristics of humans, a group species. On the surface, humans are much more advanced than animals, but in fact many behaviors are just instinct.

If it was the past, if you expect someone to buy a game equipment worth millions of yuan, it would be actually quite difficult. Except for some super rich big money who have nowhere to spend it and may buy it, 99:99% of players will only think it is a joke. But as the status of the game world and the real world gradually blurs, this kind of thing has gradually become very common.

Think about the private cars parked in residential areas around you in reality. Although most of them are economical cars worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, luxury cars worth millions of dollars are not rare anymore. You can see several cars somewhere from time to time.

Why buy luxury cars in reality? Not for identity and face? If you want to say it is used as a means of transportation, is there such a big difference between a luxury car worth millions and a small bread worth tens of thousands of yuan? In addition to safety, luxury cars are indeed better than low-end cars, but are they really that much stronger in other aspects? Luxury cars are indeed comfortable to ride, run faster, and have better safety. But once a car reaches 200,000 yuan, the gap in these aspects is not very big. Those sky-high cars are really expensive not because of how powerful it has, but because of what it is expensive. What grade of car is bought? It shows what level of person you are. Look at your car and you can roughly know your income level. This is the real meaning of luxury cars.

So, what if the game is confused with reality?

Although the world has been reversed, people are still human. We still need to show our identities, compare and support our face. Therefore, even if the high-end equipment and advanced magic pets in the game are very expensive, a large number of people are still rushing to buy them. Those who can afford cars in reality can spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to buy advanced weapons in the game. This is actually the same thing.

Although our Frost Rose League players are strict in screening and have better overall quality than ordinary players, they are still human beings, and there are naturally some comparisons. And because our guild benefits are too good. There are not many places to spend money, but there are a lot of money to make money. As a result, everyone has a lot of spare money. The money is piled up there, and the money is spent, and the money is saved is just paper. Since our guild players have money, there is no need to let them pile up there and get moldy, and directly contribute to the guild. You can also let them show off multiple things.

Although Radamantis' special hobby for the harp series is not quite flattering, one thing is true, that is, a high-quality creature like Queen Blade who looks very pleasing and super capable of fighting. Anyone who takes you by your side will be like driving a luxury car for a ride. Even if you don't do anything, just go out for a few laps. Enjoy the envious, jealous and hated eyes of others, it will be awesome.

Given the expected purchasing power within the guild, I finally turned to Radamantis and said, "Customize it according to 60% of the number of people in our guild. If it is not enough, we will add it in the next batch."

"Sixty percent?" Radamantis was shocked by me. "President, are you sure you are wrong? There are nearly 250,000 people in our guild? Sixty percent is 150,000! Even if there is no cost, the investment you can see alone is 60 billion! Are you really sure our guild can afford so much money?"

I was very sure of it, but I was shocked when I heard this number and finally said, "Then it's better to follow 50% first."

"Fifty percent?" Radamantis said: "That's too much! Don't say that you plan to subsidize each player, even if the player pays it all by themselves, you will still collect the guild's contribution points. In this way, the expenditure will be scary. We don't have that much money at all!"

"Not much." I explained: "I plan to let members pay according to the total consumption, not the funds. Those guild resources are not blown by strong winds. If they use it, they will be reasonable to pay a certain amount of funds. So what they need to pay is one million crystal coins per Blade Queen. Then our guild subsidizes a little, so that each Blade Queen has become about 800,000 crystal coins. Even if members are asked to pay 50% of the contribution points according to the highest proportion, they will have to pay at least another 400,000 cash. In this way, our actual expenses are not large, and the consumption of guild resources may be more exaggerated."

"Can our guild's resources withstand so much consumption?" Radamantis asked with some concern.

I nodded and said, "Your guild gods don't know much about the operation of our guild. In fact, the main funds of our Frost Rose Alliance are all on fixed assets. Rose mentioned liquidity before. Inferred proportionally, if our guild has 5 billion liquidity, then the disposable resources should be at least 500 billion."

"It still feels scary." Radamantis shook his head and said, "I used to think that the Olympus tribe was already very rich. After all, it was a god. I enjoyed the offerings and didn't need to spend much money. As a result, compared with our guild, I suddenly felt that the Olympus tribe was just a bunch of beggars!"

"Who made you get into a bad god like Zeus? If my wife was in charge of finances in your place, the Olympus tribe would have been issued. Okay, now we talk about the serious business. How long does it take to cultivate these blade queens? If the production volume cannot keep up with it at one time, I think I will first create a thousand, first determine the protection of the guild, and then we will slowly distribute the remaining part to members to purchase. If too much is released at one time, it will be worthless. If the supply is in short supply, everyone will be happier."

Radamantis looked at my mother nest and said, "The mother nest here is like the ordinary noisy nest, which is not viable and cannot be nurtured. I just checked it and there are only four that can be used."

"So little?"

"Four is good," said Radamantis. "Although the mother's nest splits itself very slowly, it produces the Queen of Blades very quickly. What limits it is resource consumption. If you open the supply, these guys will lay eggs no slower than some bugs."

"How long does that number of thousand take?"

"The four mother nests start together. If there is sufficient resources, it will be almost done at most two or three days."

"So fast?"

"So I said that this thing lays eggs at a speed that is no slower than bugs. However, the newly born Blade Queen cannot be put into use immediately. The newly born Blade Queen is all little loli, and it takes about a week to grow into a complete body. However, it can be recruited directly as a guardian beast when it is just born, but it cannot immediately exert the combat power of the adult body in the hands of the players."

"The growth time of a week is not slow." I nodded and said, "Then you can write me a list of the materials you need, so I can ask someone to collect them."

Radamantis touched the notepad without stopping and handed it to me and said, "There are detailed records on the 162nd page, please read it yourself."

"Damn, do you actually have research notes?" I opened this book and found that this thing was not printed, but handwritten records. To be honest, if this thing was not handed to me by Radamantis, I would definitely think that it was a magic note of a necromancer. Because in addition to various spells, there are also a large number of anatomical diagrams and magic array structure analysis, and the content on it is complicated and comparable to the alchemy notes.

Radamantis saw me looking through the notes and said embarrassedly: "A smart creature is always interested in and hobby, right? You are not those low-level creatures, so don't you think that our gods are all without desires, right?"

I nodded and said, "It would be too pitiful to become that kind of desireless and undesirable. But your hobby is also quite alternative." When Radamantis heard what I said, he immediately planned to reveal that a certain great god had unknown hobbies, but as soon as he opened his mouth, I pressed it down. "Stop it. I have something urgent to do. I have already notified the God of War and sent someone to get this thing. If you have any needs, find the God of War or Rose, Eagle, and Red Moon."

After saying hello in a hurry, I went offline without waiting for Radamantis to respond, because the call bell in reality rang. Now, the call bell can only represent one situation, that is, there is movement in the target we are staring at.

"What's the situation?" As soon as I regained my consciousness, I asked. Nuwa, who originally wanted to direct the operation, to give us the latest information. Unexpectedly, Nuwa's answer was a bit unexpected.

"Look out the window." This is Nuwa's answer.

"Ah?" I turned my head in confusion. Then I found a red-haired young man holding a thin metal product and poking the door lock. Because we and Nuwa were both contacting each other with wireless signals, so we didn't speak after we woke up. Naturally, the person outside didn't know that there was someone inside. So he was still stabbing the door lock there seriously, and he didn't know that there was someone in the car at all. "Damn, just wake us up for this matter? Could it be that our Longyuan electronic car lock has fallen to the point where it can be poked open with iron wire?" Seeing this situation, I couldn't help complaining.

Nuwa said helplessly: "Of course the wire cannot be opened, but unfortunately, your car only has the most basic mechanical lock installed. You know that your car is specially modified. It was originally a military vehicle and was pulled out from the base's experimental warehouse. Because it was originally a target for testing in other laboratories, it was temporarily modified for you as a car, so the door locks didn't have time to install. I just got a mechanical lock and made do with it. I didn't expect that someone would steal heavy sedan cards these days!"

The so-called heavy-duty sedan card is a thing between a SUV and a truck. This kind of thing is generally used for truck chassis, with load-bearing capacity and off-road performance than ordinary off-road vehicles, and its size is much larger than that of ordinary civilian off-road vehicles. After all, this thing is a truck. Although this model is domineering, it is too large to control because it is too large, so few people buy it among the people. It is because it is too rare that no one steals it, after all, it is too eye-catching. It is said that if you want to hide a tree, the best way is to hide it in the woods. However, this heavy-duty sedan is stuck in the jungle of the car, like a thousand-year-old metasequoia hidden in a maple forest. At first glance, it is more than twice the height of the surrounding trees. What a f*ck?

Because it is difficult to sell stolen goods, no one steals it. Besides, the ones who buy this thing are either government units or military. Even the civilian version is mostly used by senior bodyguards from some special-level protection companies on missions. To put it simply, it is not easy to mess with people who drive this car. Considering the possibility of having a life to make money, even car thieves generally do not consider this model.

However, the human species is too complicated. Although Nuwa followed normal logical reasoning, she believed that we would never be disturbed by irrelevant personnel when driving this car, and in the event of a road chase, the car must be speed, weight, and solid enough. However, although Nuwa has calculated all the logical factors, you can't resist someone not following the logic!

According to legend, there is a kind of person called Erfu, also known as 2b youth. Their behavioral characteristics are that they do not play according to common sense. Sometimes the things they do make people want to pry open their heads to see what is inside. The person who is busy picking the lock in front of him is obviously one of the vast number of Erfu youths. He even dares to steal this car that is almost considered a civilian armored vehicle. Who will you sell it back to? Who dares to ask for it?

We were watching that guy picking the lock, and suddenly I heard Nuwa's tone change, and then said, "Be careful, the target has action."

With this prompt, a small video window suddenly opened within our line of sight. In the video, you can blurtly see a group of people walking out of a civilian residential building. The picture is very high, and obviously the picture we see should be the picture of a certain community camera. With Nuwa here, the firewall and other things basically do not exist. What we see should be the real-time picture taken by the community camera.

There were sixteen people on the other side. They got on three cars. There was a large SUV in the front and a regular version of the family car in the middle. Finally, they followed a business car, all of which were civilian cars. Although they were all big brands, they were not eye-catching. After all, there were many such cars on the market now.

After those people got on the car, the three cars immediately started quickly and drove towards the entrance of the community, which was quite fast. When I saw this situation, I couldn't wait, so I pressed the one-button to start. As soon as the accelerator was stepped to the bottom, the whole car suddenly jumped out with a roar.

As soon as we drove onto the road, we immediately turned sharply and ran along the road. It was early morning and it was dawn. There were almost no cars on the road except those who practiced in the morning. But as soon as I rushed out, I felt someone knocking on my neck. I took the time to look back at Yeyue behind me, and then asked, "What are you doing?"

“Look out the window.”
To be continued...
