Chapter 1153 – Combined Camp

After Silver Hand and Azure Badge were revealed to the world, Great Xia was instantly placed in an awkward position.

Facing a crisis, the members of the two organizations decided to hug together for warmth and not gamble on both sides. For example, people like Henry and William would not treat Great Xia as nicely as before.

Even if they wanted to, their families behind them would not allow it.

Before Gaia revealed everything, be it Silver Hand or Azure Badge, they both had trump cards that could control the construction of Planet Hope, so they had nothing to fear.

Now, they had no way out and had to use all their resources to take down land in the game and earn as much achievement value as possible.

They would go all out against Great Xia.

In terms of direct impacts, they members all back out of trade agreements with Great Xia.

Ouyang Shuo decided to end the agreement.

Johor and Piao country, who had showed signs of joining Great Xia, were actually members of Azure Badge. Hence, all talks of joining them were naturally gone, making the Southeast Asia situation really uncertain.

All the hard work that Great Xia had put in for free trade was once again pushed down. In the near future, facing drops in trading was unavoidable.

Be it Silver Hand or Azure Badge, neither would want to work with Great Xia.

The global trading situation would be split into three parts, one was TWP, one was TUP formed by Azure Badge, and the last was the Indian Empire and Great Xia’s combined body.

The only empty region would be Africa.

A road filled with thorns was ahead of Great Xia.

If Ouyang Shuo was not filled with ambition, he would not need to worry much. At most, Great Xia just needed to reduce their defensive lines, giving up on the land they occupied overseas. Then they would not need to have conflicts with Silver Hand or Azure Badge.

In China, even in the entire Asia, if Great Xia chose to be defensive, no one could take them down.

After all, this was not like before.

Regretfully, Ouyang Shuo’s ambition did not stop there.

Gaia used the Skynet to control the Federation; this was obviously a great chance. It was a great chance to overthrow Silver Hand and establish a new order on Planet Hope.

“In a chaotic time, who would be the hero?”

Chaotic times creates heroes, and heroes could similarly change the times.

In the past five years, the times gave birth to the rise of Ouyang Shuo. In the next five years, Ouyang Shuo would change the times.

This was difficult.

However, Ouyang Shuo had nothing to fear. Since he had walked this step, why not take another step upward?

The battle in the game would only grow more intense and brutal.

Of course, normal players could not feel the dangers within. That was because no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to affect the global scale of things and did not even have the rights to become chess pieces.

Normal players could only decide their own fates. They could either be a valiant warrior or yield to the weakness inside them and be ordinary.

Along with the mysterious veil over Planet Hope being opened up, causal players were basically waiting to die, and even work occupation players were going to be of limited use.

Reality was not the game.

Facing a dangerous, desolate, and primitive world, only strength could be relied on.

The game world would welcome a misty period. Who knows who would end up as the greatest winner and who would lose everything once this mist dissipated.

Shanhai City, Xia Palace.

Within the Wenhua Hall, Ouyang Shuo met Xie Siyun, Blood Romance, and 40 guild leaders. Along with them were the Military Affairs Minister Du Ruhui.

These were just the large sized guilds, as the medium and small sized guilds were not invited.

To thank everyone for moving to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo directly allocated a street in the city for guild headquarters.

Each guild would have a mansion as its headquarters.

Based on the house prices of Shanhai City, one mansion alone was worth tens of thousands of gold. It was an okay market with high demand but no supply.

Of course, to guilds with hundred thousand members, a residence was not of much help. Most of them had to scatter to the various parts of the cities or to the prefectures and counties.

Shanhai City became really crowded all of a sudden.

Ouyang Shuo had already instructed the construction department to prepare to build two satellite cities in the west and east of the city to settle down players. Even some natives would be moved out of the city.

This was done to reduce the population pressure of Shanhai City.

The current Shanhai City was truly a place where each piece of land was worth its weight in gold; it was the true top city in the world.

The meeting in the Wenhua Hall was first to build friendship and also to discuss the defenses against the beast caves in case of unneeded misunderstandings.

Now, they were discussing the topic of the camps.

“The Imperial Court has already built up camps near each monster cave. In the next two months, the camps will be constructed into semi-permanent barracks.”

Great Xia’s super strong ability to mobilize manpower was no joke.

“What I’m saying is that all of you do not need to build new bases. Why not just have a region in the barracks for players to rest up and replenish? The Imperial Court will not collect fees and also welcome chambers of commerce to move in,” Ouyang Shuo said.

Strictly speaking, all land in Great Xia belonged to the Imperial Court. Even if the guilds wanted to build a base, they had to pay rental costs to the local offices.

To make it easy to manage, Ouyang Shuo decided to merge the camps and bases together.

“I think it’s feasible.”

Blood Romance expressed his support.

To a guild, just renting the land was not enough to build a base. They would need to hire artisans, purchase building materials, and more. They had just moved over and were not familiar, so it was all a bother.

More crucially, there were 89 monster caves, and they could not build a base in every single place, right?

It was a waste and impractical.

If Great Xia was in charge of the construction, there would be no problem. No matter where players went, they would have a place to rest up, which was really convenient.

Staying together with the Great Xia Army also settled their safety issues.

Of course, the part that moved Blood Romance and the others was still that final sentence Ouyang Shuo said.

The appearance of the beast caves was a crisis, but it was also a real business opportunity.

Adventure gamemode players needed to amass experience and materials through fighting, which would naturally give birth to a spending market.

Within the camp, food, housing, equipment, and more, which did not need to spend money? As this was semi-permanent, this would be a huge market.

Moreover, Ouyang Shuo’s words hinted that he was not going to monopolize the market just because he was the ruler of the land.
