Ch. 77: Game Base (1, 2, 3)

(Part 1)

This was not Ning Su's first visit to the Yinhua Guild.

However, this time, there were no other players. It's not for a replay of a dungeon instance; instead, Shi Tianzhu personally brought him in. Along the way, they still attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone they met on the way bowed and addressed Shi Tianzhu as the guild president.

Ning Su could clearly feel that the Yinhua Guild was different from the Hongyu Guild.

The Hongyu Guild and their Guild building were modern and relatively free and equal.

In contrast, the Yinhua Guild had a strict hierarchical system.

He heard from Chen Tian and Chen Qing that the status of guild leaders and ordinary members in the guild was not comparable. Those members who could only survive by exploring the complete map were far from being compared to players who dared to challenge a dungeon that just opened and bring back maps for the guild.

This was the norm for guilds in the base.

This was even more evident in the Yinhua Guild.

It was said that before Shi Tianzhu entered this horror game, she was a proud and conservative, aristocratic young lady.

Ning Su looked up at her, and Shi Tianzhu asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Su said, "They all respect you a lot."

Shi Tianzhu responded with a thoughtful "Hmm" and said, "When the Yinhua Guild was established, the initial members were all saved by me in dungeons. They were grateful and respectful to me. Over time, the Guild developed this atmosphere."

Ning Su asked, "Was the black-robed man the same?"

Shi Tianzhu stopped and turned to Ning Su, saying, "Yes, in a hellish dungeon, he was betrayed by his teammates, and I saved his life. He got the Soul-Locking Rope and killed a total of eight teammates in the next dungeon."

"In complex dungeons, no one can predict whether a decision will save or harm others, whether it will harm a few to save more, or save one person at the cost of harming many others."

"If you can't understand that, it's better not to enter dungeons," Shi Tianzhu said coldly.

Ning Su said, "I meant to ask, now that the black-robed is gone, have you found someone to replace him in the Guild competition?"

Shi Tianzhu paused for a moment, smiled, and said, "Yinhua is so vast that we can assemble any kind of team."

She led them to her study, which was on the highest floor in the guild, with one window facing the game hall and the other overlooking the most beautiful scenery of the guild.

They sat by the window, and Shi Tianzhu, while arranging the flowers Ning Su gave her, told him about the guild competition.

"Generally, a guild sends ten members to participate, and these ten members are decided in the last hour."

Ning Su contemplated for a moment, "Because the last hour reveals the instance?"

Before entering the instance, there's a 10-second preview of the instance world. Players decided whether to enter the instance based on this 10-second video.

Although for the most part, the video didn't provide real clues, it could at least determine the environment or theme.

The "Ghost Animal" preview video told players that the instance was set in a beautiful village.

The "Manman" preview video informed players that the instance was related to children.

The "Flower Servant" preview video told players that the instance was related to flowers.
