Mecha Tournament
Old Wang's 50 million Gold Crystal arrived in his account the very next day without him even having to go there. Then, Ding Jie, on behalf of Baishi, apologized to the Future through all online channels.
In the Future, they magnanimously forgave them, cancelled their declaration of war against them, and accepted their apology.
What happened after that had nothing to do with the Future. The Future Guild had returned to normal, and the capitalists fighting amongst themselves had nothing to do with them.
These one bombshell after another is truly overwhelming.
While countless Player were enjoying the drama, some were filled with regret.
These are the people who quit the association; they're now absolutely furious.
But what's the use? Wang Qianduo and the others have no intention of letting them return to the guild.
They couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge them; they had a lot of things to do, including selling the Core Engine!
The Core Engine technology was finally thoroughly understood by a group of experts. After being disassembled and reassembled repeatedly, it was ultimately returned to Old Wang intact by these experts.
As soon as he got his hands on it, Old Wang decided to sell it, because he learned from the Molten Gold Shop that there were actually few people selling it.
This item isn't easy to sell among NPCs; it's not that rare.
It's quite easy to obtain using some Rare resources, especially from the perspective of the Molten Gold Shop.
However, it's not difficult to raise your favorability with the Molten Gold Shop. They're just shops; as long as you spend money, you're their customer.
"Greetings, everyone. I am your auctioneer for You Suowei. The Future Guild has entrusted me to auction this Galaxy-class Core Engine!"
Without further ado, the starting bid is 50 million Gold Crystal, with each bid increasing by 1 million. The auction begins now!
"51 million!"
"52 million!"
As soon as the auction began, the price of this item skyrocketed, quickly surpassing the 100 million mark.
For those present, this thing represented more than just a guild recognized by the system; it also represented advanced progress and a brand-new product.
However, the progress is more important. After all, the bigwigs at the Central Institute have thoroughly studied it, and they have lost one of their biggest clients.
Once the price exceeded 100 million, the rate of appreciation slowed down.
In the end, this item was acquired by a company called Meitian for 120 million Gold Crystal, while Star River, Ten Thousand Miles, Great Qin, and Windflower all failed to win.
They can only bid a few times in the early stages, and then they are ruthlessly overwhelmed.
However, this thing eventually fell into the Star River's hands. Meitian used this thing plus 100 million Gold Crystal to acquire 30% of the Star River's shares, becoming Star River's largest shareholder.
This auction became a media frenzy, and Future Guild was truly hailed as the number one guild by everyone.
~~~
Time flies, and almost a month has passed since the auction of the Core Engine.
During this period, the situation in the game changed dramatically. A week after the Galaxy Guild was officially established, other guilds sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
In just one week, more than 40 new official guilds were added to the game, and that number is still growing.
Guilds frantically prepared for war and development, and the game became unusually calm.
The Black Shark Pirate Nest Instance Dungeon has finally been conquered and is gradually becoming a more Hard Instance Dungeon.
Player's skill levels have surged to unprecedented levels, and various new and highly skilled players have begun to emerge.
Old Wang hasn't been idle lately either; he successfully leveled up to level 20 and upgraded several pieces of equipment to level 20 as well.
However, for some reason, he has not yet completed the second evolution of the Lord of the Elements.

After being enhanced, Old Wang's attack reached over 800, and his health reached nearly 7000, which are attributes that others can only dream of.
Moreover, Old Wang's strength now lies not in his attributes, but in his various skills and the terrifying characteristics of the Lord of the Elements.
However, despite his terrifying attributes, not many people know about them, and the Future Guild has been quietly developing its business recently.
Nothing major happened in the game, but something did happen in reality: Redwood Capital, a world-class venture capital firm, has been targeted by various attacks lately.
Their stock assets were evaporating at a rate unimaginable to ordinary people, with as much as one-third of them disappearing in a single day.
While countless people made a fortune, countless others jumped off buildings.
That's how the struggle for capital works. Once you've broken your golden armor or suffered a wound, what awaits you is the pounce of countless hungry wolves.
However, as expected of a former top-tier capital firm, Redwood survived the heavy losses this time, reportedly thanks to the intervention of Chairman Ding, who had already stepped down from his position.
Although Redwood survived this time thanks to its deep-rooted resources, it has essentially fallen out of the ranks of top-tier capital firms.
This all happened some time ago; things have calmed down in both the game and real life recently.
However, after a system message arrived today, the entire game erupted in excitement once again.
"System notification: The first Star Diamond Cup Mecha Tournament will be held in seven days. Player can learn more details on the official website!"
I played that simple system notification ten times throughout the entire game.
Countless Player flooded the official website at the same time and began to check the competition rules.
Details of the First Mecha Tournament:
I. Competition Categories:
The competition is divided into Individual Competition for each profession, seven-person Squad Competition, and 500-person Team Competition.

5. During the competition, Player can also receive random rewards, and may even win a surprise grand prize.
Completing Daily Tasks during the competition will also earn you 5 Star Diamond can be used for betting in this competition.
After the event ends, Star Diamond can be redeemed for event rewards on the event page.
This event is destined to be a nationwide carnival, and also an event where some people will make a name for themselves.
Everyone was eager to show their skills in this competition, but all sorts of shady characters also started to cause trouble.
The rewards from the event clearly indicate that top Player will experience another surge in skill after this event.
With so many Perfect skills and Perfect Equipment available, it would be strange if they weren't strengthened.
It seems the level 30 bottleneck won't last much longer. If no one breaks through level 30 by the end of this event, then there must be some game content that Player haven't discovered yet.
Otherwise, with top-tier Player having almost Perfect stats, this Instance Dungeon shouldn't be this Hard.
My condition is really bad, only one chapter today!
