MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter Chapter 57

Chapter 57: The Hand of the Creator

The partner that Li Yao had chosen was BroadSky. This person had a strong guild that was enough to take control of the mine cave, and the most crucial thing was, he had a good character. Although the ores produced in the mine cave had to be put into the mining cart and would only belong to them after the yield was divided, it was still better for Li Yao to find a reliable partner.

What was more, Li Yao was not satisfied with just getting thirty percent of the earnings.

“Brother StarFire, you rang? Could it be that you’re thinking of joining Glory Guild after much thought? Don’t worry, I can’t guarantee much but as long as you’re in one of our combat teams, you will be given the main team position at the very least, or you could just create your very own new team. Besides, you’re an athlete and that’ll give you an edge.”

Once the private voice chat was connected, BroadSky started talking nonstop before Li Yao could even open his mouth.

“Ahem.” Li Yao interrupted BroadSky’s speech, “Hmm, may I speak first?”

“Okay, go ahead, go ahead.”

“First things first, I don’t want to join any squad yet.” Li Yao first stated his position, telling him implicitly that he had no plans to join any squad at the moment. “Secondly, the reason I’m looking for you is because I’m helping a friend to find someone to entrust on a big project, so I wonder if you would be interested.”

“Project? What big project?” BroadSky was slightly disappointed, what was there to work with with a solo player? Still, he asked calmly.

“I have a friend, his in-game name is Liao Yuan, I don’t know if you’ve heard of him before.” Li Yao asked.

“Of course I know who he is! I just watched his live broadcast, and dare I say, our Glory Guild has sent in a few squads to clear out the second platform! Besides, you and he are both Hunter masters, and I’m dying to meet him. Why, do you want to introduce your friend into my squad? Don’t worry, with Liao Yuan’s skills, he will definitely…”

“Stop, stop. I’m not talking about the squad. You should know, he got into trouble with Getaway Studios over a Boss, and he got a deed to the mine and is looking for a guild to work with. I think you guys are brilliant, that’s why I recommended your guild, are you interested?”

BroadSky hesitated for a moment, but he still replied, “I’ll be honest with you brother, this mine is accessible to anyone, and our guild has quite a few idle players. There won’t be any restrictions, so I don’t really see the point of this partnership.”

“Makes sense, of course it makes sense. Inside the mine cave, the most you can use is a mining cart, but what you don’t know is that there are mining machineries inside. I’m afraid that the amount of ore you collect in a day by just sending in a few idle players would not be enough to train a decent blacksmith. But if you use these machines, hehe, the efficiency and yield… I guess there’s no need for me to tell you since you should be clear about that.” Li Yao tempted him.

“Then, what are the conditions set by your friend? How will the profits be distributed?” BroadSky was enticed. This was the yield of an entire mine, and it was simply too tempting.

Just as Li Yao said, no one expected a safe mine to appear here, hence BroadSky’s guild did not send in many idle players to mine in the cave, and there was not much ore collected in a day.

Even if they have more leveled up players mining in the wild, the ore yield was still not enough for a Blacksmith to practice his proficiency. If they could really collect large quantities of ores, it would be a great solution to solve the guild’s lack of funds in the early stages, allowing Glory Guild to be one step ahead.

“My friend went offline to get some rest after a day of fighting and completing stages, but the e-contract was prepared beforehand. You can have a look at the e-contract, and you can sign if you agree to the terms, if not, you don’t have to sign it. I’m just here to relay the message,” said Li Yao as he sent an e-contract over to BroadSky.

To put it in simpler terms, Li Yao was in charge of getting the mine ready by fixing the mining machines, and authorizing Glory Guild to manage the mine. As for the yield, in addition to the mine owner’s entitlement to thirty percent of the overall yield, Glory Guild must also pay Liao Yuan another forty percent of the total yield. In fact, Li Yao owned seventy percent of the yield and Glory Guild only owned the remaining thirty percent.

“This… your friend is such a cheat! My people from Glory Guild are contributing our manpower and effort, but we’re only entitled to thirty percent of the yield? Isn’t that too little?” BroadSky queried.

Li Yao laughed, “How much you want to get is up for you to decide, I’m just the messenger here. All he told me was that the terms are unnegotiable, if you don’t agree, just call it off. Both of you are my friends, so it’s better for me to not say anything. I do think you have plenty of human resources in your guild, but the opportunity for players to get a hold of a mining cave is quite exclusive. I don’t think you will find this opportunity anywhere else.”

“I thought that you said it’s better for you to not comment?” BroadSky laughed bitterly. Li Yao’s words were straightforward, and it was true that BroadSky had no other choice. Yes, Glory Guild would contribute their manpower, and thirty percent of the overall yield was indeed not much, but they had no other choice. If they did not collaborate, there were plenty of other guilds that would fight for this offer.

He had no other choice. This one mine alone could solve all of the three problems the guild was facing—money, idle workers and Blacksmiths. He was not that depressed when he thought about it, “Okay, I’ll sign the contract.”

“Alright then. Now that he’s offline and resting, we will get together when we have time.” Li Yao was overjoyed. Soon, he would not have to worry about a lack of gold coins.

“Good, we’ll definitely have a drink together next time.” BroadSky sent back the signed e-contract.

Li Yao checked the signed contract. “My friend has acquired quite a lot of Level 10 equipment, I specially asked for the stuff over for you people from Glory Guild. You can have a look and state your price, just make sure my friend doesn’t feel like he is being taken advantage of.”

“Many thanks to you Brother, for calling me whenever there’s something good. I’ll keep this favor in mind, and there’s nothing for you to worry about in regards to the price I’m going to give.” BroadSky was surprised again. He was given the chance to buy Level 10 Green and Blue equipment, giving their guild the ability to become stronger once they reach Level 10. There were too many people in the guild, hence it was good to have more equipment laying around.

Li Yao let out a sigh of relief after hanging up the call. He then inspected the energy control room and nodded with satisfaction, the mining machines were still in good condition, but their source of energy was cut off. All he had to do was to link those machines to an energy supply and they would continue to operate.

After thinking about it, Li Yao decided to arm himself and go on an Elite task. Judging from what AdorkableTong and Qin Fengyi had said, Li Yao assumed that the both of them had started their Elite tasks, it was just that they had not realized it yet. As a person who had gone through rebirth, there was no way he could lag behind.

Li Yao took out the pair of arms from his backpack and admired them for a while before equipping them. Just like the Eye of the Creator, this item would blend into the body after it was equipped, and it would not take up the equipment slot. It was the top of the line support gear.
