Many people may think that the existence of the Thriller Paradise game is a disaster, that it has taken the lives of many of us and left us living in fear.
This statement has some merit, but it's not entirely accurate.
While this game brought us fear and death, it also gave us something extraordinary.
Without this game, those things would be things we absolutely cannot imagine.
But this game changed everything.
Players can achieve all-around growth through this game, thus becoming an enviable Ability User.
Therefore, this game was not created to kill us, but to give us a path to transcendence.
Whether or not we can embark on this path depends entirely on ourselves.
Sun Wanli's words are not new; some people have thought the same thing for a long time.
The difficulty of the Thriller Paradise Instance isn't actually that high, especially once you've mastered the game strategy, clearing it isn't that hard.
Moreover, the difficulty of the Instance increases from easy to hard, and players' abilities will continuously improve along the way.
It's clear that the game's purpose isn't to make players die in Instance, but rather to cultivate a player base.
To cultivate a group of Ability User with extraordinary abilities.
Sun Wanli continued, "Therefore, the emergence of this game is not entirely a bad thing; on the contrary, it is our hope."
Players who have experienced S-rank Instance will certainly know about the Lord of the Netherworld in the game world.
He is an evil and cruel deity who was once the ruler of the Netherworld.
Although He was killed by the gods, He will eventually return, not only to reign over the Netherworld again, but also to invade our world.
Everyone will become food for the evil Lord of the Netherworld.
We only have one path: to continuously clear Instance, release the gods once imprisoned by the Lord of the Netherworld, and use their power to prevent the Lord of the Netherworld's resurrection.
"However, we are progressing too slowly."
There are still a large number of S-rank Instance that have not been cleared, and many righteous deities have not yet been released.
At our current speed, there's simply no way to stop this from happening.
We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die.
Sun Wanli continued, "A lot has happened in the past period of time. For example, our guild suffered heavy losses in the last mission."
The Ability User named Wu Cheng was Possession a ghost from the Netherworld and brought the monster into our world.
Such events have occurred in various places, indicating that the barrier between our world and the Netherworld is weakening.
The power of the Lord of the Netherworld is reviving, and once He breaks through the barrier, even more ghosts and monsters will enter our world.
We simply cannot compete with them.
For the sake of our world, we must participate more in the game and constantly conquer Instance; only then can we possibly stop all of this.
This disappointed everyone; it turned out the purpose was simply to get them to participate in more Instance. They had thought something more important was going on.
Was it really necessary to hold such a large meeting for this?
Most people simply don't care about things like the resurrection of the Lord of the Netherworld or the end of the world.
Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.
Shorter people can cheer from the sidelines and shout "666" a few times.
Seeing the disappointment on everyone's faces, Sun Wanli said, "In order to motivate everyone to conquer the Instance, the guild leaders have made several important decisions."
First, to help everyone clear the dungeons, all Instance guides are completely free, and these Instance will be open to all guild members.
Secondly, starting now, for players level 10 and above, the guild will reward them with an in-game item or an item with extraordinary power for every 5 levels they gain.
Third, the guild has decided to cancel the base salary for all members. You can now only earn monetary rewards by leveling up or completing tasks assigned by the guild.
I will post the specific details of each regulation in the group later, and everyone can check it themselves.
These words immediately caused a sensation.
Some people were happy, while others directly cursed.
The happy people are naturally those who feel that the strategy guide is free, and they will no longer have to worry about Instance strategies when clearing Instance.
After all, Instance walkthroughs are quite expensive.
Moreover, you get paid for leveling up. Although there's no longer a base salary, you should earn more than before.
This is indeed a good thing.
But many people are still unhappy because they can no longer just lie around and drift through life.
They must constantly enter Instance, as leveling up will be their most important source of income.
This is devastating news for guild players who are used to spending money lavishly.
These new rules are forcing them to enter the Instance.
This will certainly make some people unhappy.
Sun Wanli said, "That concludes today's meeting. Please feel free to raise any objections you may have, and we will resolve them during the meeting."
Immediately, many people protested.
However, Sun Wanli's solution to these objections was also very direct.
"This is a decision made by the guild's higher-ups, and I can't change it. You can go talk to them; perhaps they will accept your suggestions."
These players obviously couldn't reach the guild's higher-ups, and many immediately threatened to leave the guild.
"What a trash guild! They promised something, how could they change their minds like that?"
"Yeah, that's too much! They're forcing us to go to Instance."
"This guild is trash, I'm quitting! Whoever wants to stay can stay!"
"This is a disguised form of exploitation and oppression against us. We can't tolerate this. We're leaving the guild."
Sun Wanli, however, didn't care at all, because it was obvious that the Alliance Guild's policy had changed and they were no longer trying to retain any players.
If someone lacks enthusiasm for participating in the game and only wants to coast through, then the Alliance Guild will definitely not welcome such a person.
Since the revenue from Instance walkthroughs has decreased, and the goal is to increase bonuses for players who actively participate in the game, the money must be saved from other sources.
Sun Wanli said, "Alliance Guild are free to come and go. Anyone who wants to leave the guild can come to me at any time to apply. I guarantee there will be no delay in this matter."
Upon hearing Sun Wanli's words, the players who had been shouting loudly quieted down, and could only curse inwardly.
Leaving is easy, but joining back is difficult.
Shen Hao thought it was great, because leveling up was easy for him, and he also had over 900,000 yuan in savings, so he definitely wouldn't be short of money for the time being.
The important thing is that we won't have to spend money to buy Instance guides anymore, and the money saved is definitely not comparable to that basic salary.
For him, this matter only brought benefits.
After this policy is implemented, players will have to actively participate in the game.
His Instance speed should be able to improve.
It shouldn't take ten days or half a month to find a match for an Instance.
As expected, Shen Hao received a notification that he had been matched with a new Instance that evening.
