"The operating process?"
Luo Wenshan repeated the question with some confusion.
She really didn't know that.
All I know is that when I was with the association, they would occasionally organize a mission to clean up the Light Gate, but many people would sign up, so the chances of getting in were slim, and even if you did get in, you wouldn't get much.
Later, people from the guild came to recruit her, telling her that the guild had more Light Gate resources and that she could receive more training by joining, so she joined.
"Mm," Lin Xiaoyu nodded.
"This... I don't know." Luo Wenshan gently shook her head.
"First of all, you need to know that more and more Light Gate are appearing these days, and the Calamity Beast inside are getting more and more powerful!" Lin Xiaoyu said.
Luo Wenshan nodded; she was clear on this point.
"In this situation, do you think the Supervision Bureau can handle all those 'Light Gate '?" Lin Xiaoyu continued.
"This... I don't think we can handle it, do we?" Luo Wenshan hesitated for a moment, somewhat uncertain.
Although the members of the Supervision Bureau are very capable, they are too few in number!
Moreover, I heard there's an even more severely Erosion Zone they need to deal with...
"Yes, we really can't handle it all," Lin Xiaoyu nodded, "That's why the Light Gate were assigned to our guilds."
Guilds are martial arts organizations that began to emerge after the appearance of the Light Gate.
Originally, they were just a few martial artists who wanted to explore the Light Gate, and then they joined forces with other martial artists to form a slightly larger team.
However, as more and more Light Gate appeared, similar groups grew larger and larger, eventually leading to the emergence of guilds that specialized in organizing such operations.
"Oh!" Luo Wenshan responded, then looked at Lin Xiaoyu with some doubt, "But what does this have to do with them afterwards?"
"That brings us to the process of how the Light Gate were divided," Lin Xiaoyu said, looking at her. "First, how do you think the Light Gate were divided?"
"Huh?" Luo Wenshan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Didn't we confirm the Light Gate and then notify the guild?"
"What if the guild can't handle it?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.
"This..." Luo Wenshan opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Because if you ask any further questions, you'll be asking the same question she just asked: why did the inspectors arrive after the cleanup was completed, instead of before?
Lin Xiaoyu looked at her, understanding that she had already thought of this, and continued:
"Actually, the inspectors had already conducted a preliminary investigation before we arrived!"
"Is... is that so?" Luo Wenshan murmured.
"Okay," Lin Xiaoyu nodded and began to explain the entire process.
"First, the Light Gate are usually discovered by ordinary citizens, who then report them to the Supervision Bureau. The Supervision Bureau sends personnel to investigate and determine the threat level of the Calamity Beast within the Light Gate. Those with low threat levels are assigned to the guilds or associations for handling, while those with high threat levels are handled by them themselves."
"Well... since they had time to investigate, why didn't they just deal with it directly instead of dividing it up?" Luo Wenshan asked.
"For mere reconnaissance, we only need one relatively high-ranking person with reconnaissance abilities. But if we want to completely eliminate them, even they will need to spend some time," Lin Xiaoyu said.
"There should be another reason," Mei Duo said from the passenger seat.
" Sister Mei, what's the reason?" Luo Wenshan looked over.
"There's probably a reason why the country wants to train martial artists like us in society," Mei Duo said.
"Is that so!" Luo Wenshan nodded slightly, as if she had just realized something. "Then, those with lower threat levels will be assigned to the association or our guild, depending on the situation?"
"The association does distribute the loot directly, but the guild doesn't," Lin Xiaoyu said.
"Huh?" Luo Wenshan looked over in confusion, "How did the guild end up with the Light Gate?"
"All guilds, including our Qiming Harbor Guild, have to go through a bidding process to secure the right to clear the Light Gate!" Lin Xiaoyu said.
"Bidding... bidding?" Luo Wenshan repeated subconsciously.
"Yes, that's right!" Lin Xiaoyu nodded. "About 30% to 40% of the discovered Light Gate will go to the association, and the rest will be placed with the Light Gate Management Committee. They will organize a bidding process for guilds to compete for the right to clean up and develop that Light Gate!"
"Huh? The Light Gate wasn't given away for nothing, was it?" Luo Wenshan, somewhat surprised.
"Hehe, of course not!" Fang Ji was driving, couldn't help but chuckle. He glanced at Luo Wenshan, then quickly looked away and said, "Although there are Calamity Beast inside the Light Gate, Calamity Beast mean resources. What's more, there might also be some special natural resources. In any case, as long as the cleanup is completed, we'll basically make a profit in the end. How could we let you do something so easy?"
"This..." Luo Wenshan was somewhat speechless, yet she felt that things should develop as Fang Ji had suggested.
"There are also many martial artists in society now, which creates a competitive environment," Mei Duo said from the passenger seat.
"Yes, although the Supervision Bureau can't handle all the Light Gate Light Gate, they can still be processed once they're separated," Lin Xiaoyu nodded. "Just like in the guild, we're mostly idle. We wait for the guild to acquire new Light Gate, and then I compete with other teams for them!"
" Sister Xiaoyu, how much did our guild spend on this Light Gate this time?" Luo Wenshan asked Lin Xiaoyu with some curiosity.
Lin Xiaoyu looked at Mei Duo.
"15.28 million!" Mei Duo said.
"So many!" Luo Wenshan exclaimed in surprise.
"This is nothing. Two months ago, the Dust-Cleansing Brigade spent over 20 million to film a Light Gate!" Fang Ji laughed from the front.
The Dust-Cleansing Brigade is currently another guild on par with Qiming Harbor in Linhai.
However, unlike Qiming Harbor, the Dust-Cleansing Brigade adopted an elite strategy, consisting of only eleven people.
Another guild that rivals them in fame is Cloud-Soaring Pavilion.
As for other guilds, there are some, but they are all small guilds.
After all, judging from the bidding prices we just discussed, and the fact that Mei Duo and the others usually just sit around waiting for the Light Gate, it's clear that other smaller guilds don't have much room to survive.
They can only handle small Light Gate, and they have to raise the price very high.
"Huh?" Luo Wenshan looked over in surprise. "This... will we be able to make it back?"
Due to the development of the Light Gate, the price of Origin Crystal on the market has dropped significantly, with First Tier Origin Crystal now costing less than 200,000.
"During the bidding process, the Light Committee ( Light Gate Management Committee ) will provide some data," Mei Duo explained.
"For example, the size of the area within the Light Gate, the approximate number of the Calamity Beast, and their threat level."
"The guild can use this to roughly estimate how many Origin Crystal they might obtain after clearing the Light Gate."
"Plus, the corpses of Calamity Beast can also be sold, so as long as you don't get caught up in the bidding with other guilds, you can usually make a profit!"
At this point, Mei Duo paused, then continued:
"Of course, since the main bidders are just the three of us guilds, we'll maintain a certain level of understanding and won't let the price go too high."
"Like this time, we can probably still earn more than ten million!"
