Trantor: 549690339
For the following week in the game, which epassed chapters 41-45 of Tina’s storyline, yers coborated with the Unicorn Knights to eradicate all the gangs in the city.
What Su Yu found most impactful during the clean-up was the unity and cooperation between yers.
The act of clearing the gangs didn’t incite any discord or disputes over looted gear among the yers.
Everyone worked together like a well-oiled machine, amodating each other, and striving towards amon goal.
Let’s take the case of the Sky Dragon, a loli character.
The Sky Dragon was part of the city lord’s manor’s faction, hence theoretically, she was opposed to Su Yu.
However, they traded intel to each other in an attempt to gain the maximum profit possible from the NPCs.
Of course, yers were sometimes assigned missions that conflicted with each other, like intelligence gathering and defense missions, where one side’s sess often meant the other side’s failure.
In such cases, mediators yed a significant role.
Mediators worked to find apromise, adhering to the principle of “obtaining maximum profit” and trying to achieve a satisfactory oue for both parties. (For instance, the victorious party could offer some spiritual energy coins aspensation to the losing party.)
Nevertheless, the unity and cooperation among yers during this major quest shone as a bright spot, lending color to the gloomy post-apocalyptic ambience.
This “Decapitate Snake n” saw participation from a whopping 100,000 yers. Among them, 70,000 sided with the Unicorn Knights, while the remaining 30,000 were scattered between the gangs and the city lord’s manor’s viins. However, these 30,000 were essentially “double agents”.
With the yers cooperating from within and from the outside, the gangsters of Orleans City were easily wiped out. Any who managed to evade capture were eventually handed over by the yers in exchange for quest rewards.
The rewards for this operation were bountiful, leaving most yers satisfied with their earnings,
After the “Decapitate Snake n” ended, a meeting to divide the ahem, I mean, to distribute the spoils of war, was held in the Blood Union’s hall.
On the hall’s floor, numerous valuable weapons, armors, gems, jewelry, and monster materials were on disy.
Tina sat at the head of the table, satisfied as she gazed at the spoils spread out in the center of the hall.
Su Yu and Fiona stood beside Tina, on her left and right respectively.
On the side of the hall, the high-ranking officers of the Knights, along with yer representatives such as Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon, all eyed the glittering spoils on the ground.
“Ahem, are we all here? If so, let’s get started on distributing the spoils,” Tina surveyed everyone present.
“Everyone’s here, for the most part,” replied Fiona.
Su Yu said, “There are some who shouldn’t be present—for instance, those adventurers from different worlds who infiltrated the enemy camp. They’ve worked hard for this ‘Decapitate Snake n’. I’ll represent them.”
“Hmm.” Tina nodded with a smile and looked at the secretary of the Knights. “Jessica, have you calcted the value of the spoils?”
“The calction isplete, my Lady.” responded Jessica.
Jessica, the secretary, was a new recruit personally selected by Tina. She’s a young girl, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old. She flipped through her notes and crisply replied,
“We have confiscated 47 pieces of te armor, 238 pieces of heavy armor .”
“No need to get into that much detail. Just tell me the total value of the loot,” Tina interrupted her.
Startled, Jessica quickly replied, “Based on my calctions, the estimated total value of the loot is around 320 million spiritual energy coins!”
“320 million!”
All present gasped at the number.
Tina and Fiona were shocked by the wealth amassed by the gangs. Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon were also surprised by therge number.
A newly entered Level 1 yer earns around 2-3 spiritual energy coins per day; a Level 10 yer earns an average of 20 coins daily.
With approximately 60 million yers entering the game across the “Chinese server”, 320 million spiritual energy coins were almost equivalent to the entire server’s total daily earnings. This number was astounding!
Jessica, holding The Handbook, continued, “that’s 320 million. It’s a conservative estimate. Some of the master pieces of art have been evaluated at the lowest auction price. If they are auctioned in reality, the price would certainly be higher.”
“320 million, impressive indeed!” Tina grinned.
With thisrge sum of money, she could smoothly implement her uing ns and possibly even raise some funds for the princess.
Tina turned to Su Yu, asking softly, “Nemesis, how should we divide this 320 million?”
“If you ask me ” Su Yu rubbed his chin and replied slowly, “before we divide the spoils, we should confirm who is eligible.”
“That’s right, you speak up.”
“First of all ” Su Yu started, addressing everyone in the hall, “the Unicorn Knights were the main force behind this operation to wipe out the gangs. They definitely qualify to im a share of the spoils.”
“Hmm,” everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.
“Next, the adventurers from different worlds who participated in this operation, as well as those who infiltrated enemies and provided us with valuable information, should be entitled to a share.”
After some thought, Tina agreed, “Indeed. I have witnessed the efforts you all have made for the entire operation. You significantly reduced the casualty rate of the Knights and provided a multitude of useful information. You certainly deserve a share.”
Seeing Tina’s agreement, Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon gratefully looked at Su Yu.
If not for Su Yu being here, the loot would have had nothing to do with the yers. Once the yers collected their mission rewards, they would have had to leave. The loot confiscated by NPCs belonged to the NPCs; yers shouldn’t have had any greedy thoughts.
But now with Su Yu here, Tina decided to share a portion of the loot with the yers out of deference for Su Yu.
Remember, we’re talking about 320 million here! Even 1% of it is a substantial amount. After all, not everybody was as rich as Su Yu.
Su Yu shed a “don’t worry” smile at Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon before speaking again:
“Afterwards, Tina, you should keep a share for yourself to prepare for future reforms,”
“Lastly, I think we must distribute some to the city’smon citizens.”
“Distribute to the citizens?” Tilting her head, Tina contemted the idea.
“Yes. In truth, these spoils are profits that the gangs squeezed out of ordinary people. Returning the loot to the people can be seen as a form ofpensation.”
“Not to mention, it can also increase your poprity in the city and gain the people’s support. In the future, when you want to implement any reforms, it could decrease resistance.”
“Hmm, you have a point,” Tina sat upright and looked at Su Yu. “So, the Knights, the adventurers from different worlds, me, and themon citizens each get a share. What about you, Nemesis? Don’t you want to im a share for yourself?”
