Chapter 171: Faction System Officially Open

“Because you encourage competition! You believe only the strongest cubs can lead the family to power! You follow the path of beasts! In that case, why not seek out the cubs you’ve raised? Why come to me, a stray dog?”

“Now that I’m successful, you want to use the family name to bind me back, then gradually strip away my power and seize my guild?”

Justin leaned forward, glaring at the clan leader, and coldly uttered two words: “Dream on!”

As his words fell, the Jia Family was suddenly stunned! The silence around the long table was so deep that a pin drop could be heard.

A few cousins looked at Justin in disbelief, never expecting that the waste they used to bully would dare to angrily rebuke the clan leader so boldly!

You should know, the clan leader is a mage! At this moment, the Jia Family clan leader was so furious his face turned green, unable to speak.

“You ungrateful son! This ungrateful son of mine!” Justin’s father pointed at him in shock and anger, his lips trembling, his old face flushed red.

Justin straightened his back arrogantly, looking down with disdain: “Apart from the great Internet God, no one can take the Burgeoning Riches Guild from me!”

“For the sake of our blood relationship, I’ll give you a piece of advice. This upcoming pre-update of the faction system will be your best chance for growth! Rather than waste energy on such petty infighting, focus on real affairs. Otherwise, you’ll be swept away by the tide!”

“Times have changed, my dear clan leader!”

After speaking, Justin looked at his family with disdain, then walked away proudly.

At this moment, his outwardly cool and arrogant demeanor, inside, was filled with emotions almost bringing tears to his eyes!

He finally found the opportunity to angrily lash out at his family, releasing the grievances accumulated over the years!

This was something he never dared to imagine before.

Because his innate soul was weak, he had almost no chance of breaking through the Grand Mage rank in this lifetime. How could he dare to confront a clan leader with mage proficiency? But now it’s different!

As the president of the Burgeoning Riches Guild, he holds a significant position in the Fourth Calamity and is protected by the great Internet God. What can the Jia Family do to him? Most importantly, with the Burgeoning Riches Guild, he has gradually acquired a large amount of Source Essence through wealth power, overcoming the deficiency of his weak innate soul.

His future is boundless! Stepping out of the Mage’s Hat Tavern, Justin looked at the bustling street and silently praised: ‘Thank you, great Internet God!’

He knew all of this was thanks to the Internet God! His heart filled with great excitement!

Because [Conquest Sub-Dimension] has another pre-update following the [Khazad-dûm Dungeon]—the [Faction System].

It must be noted that as the Internet spread to the Karman United Republic, the profitability of [Khazad-dûm] was no longer as it once was.

On the one hand, although Khazad-dûm is a large mid-sized plane, it inevitably became overcrowded with the influx of many players.

On the other hand, the dwarves have become aware of the wealth plundering by the Fourth Calamity, so they consciously hide their wealth.

Now, major player guilds have even started forming alliances, targeting the treasure vaults of dwarf tribes.

For them, capturing one randomly would be a huge profit! The difficulty of making money in Khazad-dûm is rapidly increasing, especially for casual players.

The chances of finding treasures through reckless wandering, like he initially did, are becoming increasingly rare and almost non-existent.

Now the [Conquest] pre-update of the [Faction System] is clearly another new opportunity to make money!

Because its return is relatively controllable compared to expectations.

Luck played a major part in the Khazad-dûm dungeon.

With good luck, stories like his, where people became wealthy overnight, are common;

With bad luck, it’s not surprising to get lost inside, turning for days, and ending up inside a worm’s stomach.

But the [Faction System] is different.

Although [Conquest Sub-Dimension] is only a pre-update with blank faction choices, allowing players plenty of preparation time, from the introduction, it seems similar to real-world mercenaries.

You should know, the price of war commissions has always been very high.

Although their fees are deducted by the Internet, they also avoid the risk of losing their heads.

This is a highly profitable business and is sure to be extremely popular when it’s launched.

It seems this is one of the underlying reasons why the family approached him!

Having benefited first from the [Khazad-dûm Dungeon], Justin now has absolute trust and fervor towards the Internet God.

He looks forward to the faction system! To new challenges!

…

The reason the [Faction System] is only a pre-update is because the Internet Bank branches haven’t been fully established.

For now, Yu Sheng’an has only sent people to negotiate with the Karman gods and the Prairie God.

The faction system’s structure is too massive, Yu Sheng’an must at least conduct a test without removing archives before it is fully launched.

Otherwise, what if, after a full launch, someone exploited a BUG? This isn’t a virtual game, if a BUG is exploited, he has to bear the loss for the sake of fairness and credibility.

Speaking of bank branch construction gives Yu Sheng’an a headache.

In the Kewell Empire, all his bank branches are built within Magic Towers, enjoying the protection of the towers and the convenience of cash teleportation.

However, the Internet Bank he managed to promote is not allowed to be built in cities within the Harriman territory, nor is it allowed to construct protective Magic Towers, which makes it difficult.

Thus, Yu Sheng’an had no choice but to send his long-concealed dark pawn—Redemption Group’s sole member, Redmond, to assist with defense.

The preaching area in Harriman is already tough, and the Prairie God is even more troublesome.

The tribes under the Prairie God’s command exist in a nomadic form without any fixed settlements.

So where would he establish his bank branches? And how would he protect them?

This is certainly a headache.

Fortunately, because Quever is a magical nation, they quickly provided a solution when the problem was left to the magician think tank.

–Build a small magic castle as the office building for the bank branch.

In the castle, engrave phasing and teleport magic arrays, not seeking strong defense, but quick escape for survival!

With solid financial backing, two bank branches of milestone significance are under vigorous construction.

However, Yu Sheng’an’s concept of a Magic Bank encounters trouble.

With the support of the Prophecy Divine Spark, Yu Sheng’an easily completed the framework of the Magic Bank, but he faced a major obstacle.

That is, he lacks a means of storing magic power—an infinite energy storage tool.

Currently, the top-tier magical energy storage device is the Energy Pool often used in Magic Towers.

This is a magical storage unit created using spatial power.

But this magical storage unit, a milestone invention in magic history, doesn’t help Yu Sheng’an much.

Because it’s anticipated that the Magic Bank will handle tremendous amounts of magic, using the Energy Pool for storage could cause space collapse.

Where could he find or create an infinite energy storage device? This question stumped Yu Sheng’an.

After failing to get answers from those around him, he had to rally a large number of magicians to help him gather information on this.

Amidst the busy and hectic environment, sixteen days after the Battle of Vis Els ended, the North Aezia Plains and Harriman bank branches were both completed.

After the first batch of bank employees settled in, the [Conquest Sub-Dimension · Faction System] officially opened.
