Xu Yuan thought about this and felt a surge of Joy. He also had to thank Little Fatty— if it weren't for his words, Xu Yuan might have taken a long time to come up with this idea.
He smiled and said to Little Fatty, "Don't be polite with me. Just pick the biggest room for yourself!"
As Xu Yuan looked at Little Fatty, he noticed that his face carried a worried expression, as if something was weighing on his mind.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yuan asked kindly.
Xiao Chuan glanced at Xu Yuan and sighed. "It's nothing. It's just… I'm currently pretty much broke. I have nothing left. I'll have to start from scratch."
Xu Yuan was a bit puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chuan hesitated before explaining, "Do you know about the Dragon Teng Guild?"
Xu Yuan nodded. "Yeah, I know about it. What's up?"
"Well, when I joined the Dragon Teng Guild during their recruitment, I was told that members could have a piece of land in the guild's main station to use. I didn't know how big the land was at first, but I thought I'd just put a box there— so I joined. Turns out, there was only one designated spot for a box."
He continued, "To keep that spot, you have to donate materials or game currency daily. If you donate enough, the land is yours. But if you fall short, they'll give the spot to someone else."
Xu Yuan listened, understanding that the Dragon Teng Guild operated in a way that exploited its members— a labor system where lower-tier players were essentially tools.
"I thought it was harmless at first," Xiao Chuan said, "but then I found out you're Steve. That's when I decided to leave the guild."
He clutched his chest, visibly angry. "They even detained my box!"
The more Xiao Chuan talked, the more upset he became, as if his belongings held great value to him.
"What's in your box?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.
Xiao Chuan let out a long sigh, looking distressed. "I won't talk about the wood. But I do have 3 iron ores, 1 gold ore, some bread, and some leftover meat I can't eat—basically, some scraps I keep for myself."
Xu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. He initially thought Xiao Chuan might have some rare treasures, but it turned out to be just basic resources.
He looked at Xiao Chuan and gently patted his shoulder. "It's okay. You're undervaluing these things. They're still yours."
Xiao Chuan managed a reluctant smile, feeling a bit reassured. He knew Xu Yuan was wealthy, but he didn't fully grasp the extent of it. Xu Yuan didn't bother explaining much; he believed Xiao Chuan would understand in time.
Then, Xu Yuan asked, "Have you ever thought about starting your own guild?"
If Xu Yuan established a guild, it would be the first in the game, and he could name it something impressive— like [Cube Man].
"I can do it, but I don't really have the time to manage it," Xu Yuan admitted. "Managing a guild is troublesome and time-consuming."
Hearing this, Little Fatty suddenly remembered something. "Isn't Ken with you? He used to be the president of a top guild!"
Xu Yuan was surprised. He hadn't asked about Ken's background before and wasn't too curious. But now that Xiao Fat mentioned it, he realized Ken's experience was substantial. Given Ken's skills at managing unions, it made sense to have him run the guild.
And Xu Yuan, feeling short on manpower, decided to act.
After a moment's thought, he made a decision. "Alright, let's start a guild."
He quickly applied to create one and named it [Cube Man].
Once the application was approved, Xu Yuan added Ken as a member and appointed him vice president.
While Ken was heading to the mine with some others, he suddenly received a notification: he had been appointed vice president of [Cube Man].
Ken was stunned. He quickly sent a message to Xu Yuan:
"What's going on??"
"I applied for the guild and made you vice president," Xu Yuan replied casually. "Take a look."
Seeing Xu Yuan's message, Ken's eyes lit up with excitement. He had actually wanted to persuade Xu Yuan to form a guild ever since he defected to him, but hadn't spoken up.
Now, Xu Yuan had taken the initiative. Ken responded immediately:
"Got it—leave it to me!"
He also posted on the forum and global chat:
[[Cube Man] Guild officially established! President Steve is recruiting high-quality players with generous benefits. Join now!?]
