Chapter 240: Creating a Hype: The Adventurer's Guild!

At first, several gamers posted a video that they were able to record inside the game—as arranged by Weyron. They were able to capture all the events that had happened from their journey to the Tarala Kingdom to their arrival and membership application to the Adventurer's Guild.

And slowly, the views of their videos started to increase and hit the million count. Some of the views came from aspiring new players, while some came from current players of the game.

The video showed how cruel the nature of Bearth Online and how hard it was to survive in the game—something that the current players were able to agree upon. It was not to discourage other aspiring players from playing the game but to inform them what should they expect upon playing it.

At the same time, the video showed how unity and working together as a group greatly increases the survival of a player in the game. It was seen amongst individual parties who worked together to fight monsters that attack or aims for their group. Considering the whole group of a thousand players, the danger and difficulty were severely reduced, especially that each party/group was also helping each other along the way.

This was later emphasized even further in the parts where they accomplish hunt quests efficiently by fighting monsters together with a party. Consequently, this part was able to showcase the benefits that the Adventurer's Guild had brought to them.

From the coin earning quests, to the unusual skill—but extremely useful in hunting monsters, the Adventurer's Guild was able to provide a decent-but-safe way of leveling up and earning coins. Something better than simply charging their way to their deaths for nothing.

In fact, even the food that was sold to the Adventurer's Guild's Market was more than enough to attract the attention of a small number of players—who even decided immediately to travel to the Tarala Kingdom and be a member of the Adventurer's Guild.

Truth be told, the majority of the new players and some of the weak players were only able to eat raw meat that they were able to obtain from the corpse of the monsters. So, knowing that the Adventurer's Guild offers coins in exchange for the completion of the quests, and later on, these coins could be used to buy food or other goods in the Adventurer's Guild's Market.

And speaking of the Adventurer's Guild's Market, the elegant and luxurious silver sword had caught the attention of every viewer of the videos. Even the professional players could not help but wonder what are the effects of the sword.

That said, in the end, most of the players in the Asian server could only hope that they would be able to reach a stronghold or territory that had an Adventurer's Guild established in it. Because it was the only way where their development would be supported properly and that their survival in the game would be greatly increased.

As for the players outside the Asian Server, they could only hope that such an organization would appear somewhere in their respective servers. Unfortunately, trying to establish an Adventurer's Guild similar organization was a no-go.

They lack sufficient authority and credibility towards the high-ranking NPCs of Kingdoms. While, at the same time, lacking enough strength nor coins to support them. As we have seen in the auctions where NPCs participated, a hundred gold coins was a norm to them.

In fact, even a thousand gold coins would even be easy for them to prepare. Unfortunately, no players other than Pedro had the capability to earn that huge amount of coins whatever was the case. So, there was no chance for other players to be able to establish a similar organization with the Adventurer's Guild.

That said… It was safe to say that the videos that the players with Weyron had uploaded were able to achieve their purpose—which was to hype players and, at the same time, advertise the presence of the Adventurer's Guild.

On the other hand, Pedro was able to give Weyron a chance to take over the management of the Adventurer's Guild—under Neerak Axutar's guidance, based on his and his party's contributions to the Adventurer's Guild on the past day of defending the Kingdom.

Together with Player Meen and several more players—which was the best of Weyron's guild members, they were able to hunt hundreds of monsters. It was evident that the high-ranking officials of the Tarala Kingdom—specifically Duke Albert and Duke Ersi, would be able to learn about their feat.

This even affirmed Duke Albert and Duke Ersi that working with Pedro and supporting his plans was a game-changing choice for the Kingdom. In fact, it even showed to them the true value and potential of the wandering Adventurers all over the world of Bearth. Thus, the two of them supported Pedro's plans and requests without that much thought.

Duke Albert even helped Pedro in updating the inventory of the market of the Adventurer's Guild. At the same time, Duke Albert even gave priority to developing the area of the Adventurer's Guild.

However, Pedro did not rush in the upgrades of the establishment within the area of the Adventurer's Guild. Instead, he decided to build a more comprehensive training area—consequently giving each respective Combat Type Division a proper training area that could be used to develop and improve the abilities of the players.

Pedro did it that way because he wanted to fully entrust the management and development to Weyron since Weyron was the one responsible for managing their gold farming force—a disposable or usable force for Pedro's main force.

In fact, other than being a gold farming force, Weyron's guild has more tasks than it looks from the outside. The gold farming force can be used to observe and test the abilities and other matters concerning potential players that can be part of the main guild.

Also, the gold farming force was the organization that Pedro aimed to establish to be able to increase their guild's influence and control over Bearth. Material Gathering Monopoly, while at the same time, Player Market Monopoly was his additional target or goal for the establishment of the gold farming force.

This way, Pedro could focus on developing his main force purely in strength and combat ability. Since it would also require him to increase his own strength, it was definitely best for Pedro to leave such minor matters to Weyron and the sub-organization.

Besides, it would be difficult for Pedro to capitalize on his knowledge of his past life if he would busy himself in the management and control of the people under him. So, he could not handle the management of the Adventurer's Guild by himself.

That said… Unknown to Pedro… Another huge change was about to happen in the game…

Somewhere in China, several men were gathered around a meeting room and resembled a board meeting of a huge company. The atmosphere inside that room was tense to the point that some of the men were sweating despite the room being air-conditioned.

"Do you guys know anything about the Adventurer's Guild?" The man sitting at the farthest corner of the table asked in a calm tone. He glanced around to the other men, seemingly waiting for anyone to respond. Unfortunately, all of them remained silent in response—where some of them even shook their heads at the same time.

The man could not help but sigh heavily in response. Then, he started tapping his finger into the table—making a weak tapping noise, while saying, "Then, let me ask once again… Does any of you have something to do with the so-called Adventurer's Guild inside the game?"

Unfortunately, this time, the man got the same response from everyone else. Thus, the man could not help but to stop tapping the table and clench his fist. He was supposed to slam the table with his clenched fist, but he simply tapped it lightly instead—indicating that he was able to retain his good temper.

Then, he rotated his seat and faced the window—overlooking the city from below. The man crossed his legs, leaned back comfortably to his chair, and said, "Even the Game Masters—who were able to play the game for over a year before everyone else, had no idea about the origin or existence of the Adventurer's Guild… I wonder if this has something to do with the Continental Quest going on in that server… Nevertheless, the plan continues! We'll commence the final update for the Official Launch of the game. Are there any questions?"

At this moment, a young man bravely raised his hands and asked, "Chairman, can I ask if we'd still keep the player privacy and personal modification settings for the simulated battles?"

"Of course!" The man referred to as Chairman responded calmly without hesitation. Then, he added, "Keeping such features would keep us away from trouble. Besides… No one on earth could touch us, as long as I am alive! So, you don't have to worry about anyone who would try to gather some information or leak data about certain players! If they dare mess with us… Let's see if they could still play the game!"
