Chapter 502.5- linked interests (2)
Third was the right to enter the Cloud Peak trading market.
Cloud Peak would set up a trading market five kilometers from Cloud Peak in Puxing Town. Only Cloud Peak Alliance members had the right to enter. Cloud Peak was in charge of order, and they would set up rules for the place, which would help benefit members.
Cloud Peak would create a trading market near Cloud Peak to sell modified potions and equipment. They would collect information and purchase materials in this new location.
This was another decision that lit up many eyes. Many times, factions would be frustrated as their items weren’t suitable. Either that, or they found suitable items but they didn’t trust each other, or they tried to steal things from one another.
If there were such a market, it would solve a huge problem. It could allow one to trade useless things into real strength, and they didn’t have to worry about their safety.
The fourth was the right to join large-scale battles.
Cloud Peak will give invitations before huge hunts. Factions that agree can get rewards based on contribution points. Members can also request help from Cloud Peak, and they will decide whether or not to help.
This point didn’t seem as good as the first three points, but this was a benefit for huge factions like Star Beauty Company.
Large hunts that could interest Cloud Peak were things that brought many benefits. People who joined would get many great things. Small factions might not have the right to participate, but the big factions did. Why wouldn’t they be happy to follow Cloud Peak and benefit?
As for being cannon fodder, didn’t Cloud Peak say that it was an invitation? They didn’t force you, so it was down to your judgment.
The small factions welcomed the fact that they could ask Cloud Peak for help. Their strength was not enough for them to complete some difficult tasks, but things were different with Cloud Peak’s help. Cloud Peak might take some of the gains, but at least they knew how to choose between getting something and nothing.
Moreover, if they worked more together, they would get closer to Cloud Peak.
The final part was the rights to join Cloud Peak missions.
Cloud Peak will publish some quests. Members can help them complete these and obtain the rewards that they provide.
Many people didn’t understand this initially, but they could guess roughly how important it was.
Cloud Peak was strong, but they weren’t omnipotent. Their members had limited energy and manpower. They didn’t want to do some things, but what if they needed some materials? They could get members to do it and pay something to help save manpower and time. Those factions who helped would be able to benefit, and it was a win-win.
This was an added part of the plan and the most important part. It seemed like Cloud Peak wanted to control and rip them off, but it was a complete plan.
Many people even felt like Cloud Peak was giving up some benefits. But the smart people noticed the key details. They remembered what had happened, and people like Zhao Xingmei and Bai Feng shuddered. Ye Zhongming was using this to tie Ying City to him.
They might not feel much now, but as time passes and these plans get executed, people will get used to the modified potions, the cheap weapons, and the convenience of the trading market. They would be used to fighting alongside Cloud Peak and completing their quests for rewards. Would they allow anything bad to happen to Cloud Peak?
One Cloud Peak became connected to Ying City, and being enemies with them would mean being enemies with the entire Ying City. They had to deal with Ying City before dealing with Cloud Peak. Under such a situation, what did they have to fear?
Why did Glory Army, Soul Merchant, etc. factions dare to attack? Apart from their strength, they only had to deal with Cloud Peak.
But if this plan was executed, would those factions dare? They might, but they would have to prepare for a different battle. It would be a war. They wouldn’t face the few thousand Cloud Peak soldiers but a few million from Ying City.
Would these super factions dare?
Think about it from another pov. Zhao Xingmei and Bai Feng felt they didn’t dare to unless they were going all out.
Cloud Peak was going to place all their future dangers in Ying City.
But could they disagree? Even if they knew the reason, could they reject it? No, they didn’t want to. This was a bait that made you agree willingly.
So, everyone who came was willing to join the alliance and become part of Cloud Peak’s interests.
The meeting was over, and they returned to their squads to spread what had happened. Some famous factions were invited to a villa for a small trading event.
Ye Zhongming, the host, joined the event. He took many good things; white equipment was the most basic, and some things that Cloud Peak couldn’t use. Job scrolls and skills that no one wanted, the rewards from the first two levels of the Competition Death Wheel, etc.
He wanted to trade for two things: Job advancement scrolls and skill upgrade scrolls. Apart from those, precious materials were good too.
This trading event was based on willingness. He traded a few, but things weren’t good after, and he only got two basic skill upgrade scrolls and one job advancement scroll.
It wasn’t that they didn’t have any but that they weren’t interested in what Ye Zhongming had.
Zhao Xingmei found Ye Zhongming when it ended, and her words shocked him.
“I have something you are interested in, but I am not interested in what you took out. Let’s have a trade.”
After he agreed, she took out something that shocked him.
