War Online

Chapter 51: Wil's future plans and new update changes

Wil sternly replied, "Stop talking nonsense and come to my place, right now. We need to talk and bring whatever information you found."

As he disconnected the call, Jiwon asked curiously, "your friend?"

"Not really. You can say he's close like a friend."

After entering the compound, Jiwon shook his hands, "anyway, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Ravens.

Every Sunday at 10 A.M., my sister goes to ATC for part-time. If you aren't busy today, you can just go together with her. Just call me or give a message. I'll say to her. My number is **********"

Wil smiled, "sure but just don't be too formal with me. It makes me feel old. Just call me Williard or Wil."

"Sure. See ya, Wil."

At Wil's home;

As Wil sat on the sofa, Aster connected the pen drive to the tablet and gave it to him.

"So, we can buy the shares of these 12 people at any time as long as we offer more price? How much are you willing to buy it?"

Aster replied, "Currently, each share of the company valued at 156 Yuan or in our terms, 780 credits. In order to buy it, we should at least offer 20% more but in the end, it will end up at 30%.

Lu Heibei is currently the highest shareholder with 37% shares. So, we need at least 38% to take over the company. With these 12, we will be the second-biggest shareholder with 29%. We can take the remaining slowly in the future. So, in total, we need to spend"

Wil interrupted him as he already has done the calculations in his mind, "294 million dollars or should I say 2.94 Billion credits."

As Aster nodded, Wil shook his head, "No, it's not worth it. I would rather invest the entire amount in War Online and construct an entire city for myself, instead.

So, let's do one thing.

Make the share value of the company a little bit day by day. We'll purchase most of the shares when its value dropped to half of its value. But, remember that our company name shouldn't be revealed."

"Understood," Aster then continued, "We got the news that major companies will start to invest in the game, soon. Perhaps, some of them are already ahead. Should we"

"What? Do you want our Scarlet Company to start investing like others?"

Aster nodded, "yes. That way, we won't have to worry about the lack of funds."

Wil smiled, "And I planned to. Actually, I was going to inform you about it. I wanted to form Scarlet Gaming Company with HQ here, right in this Leafway City.

All gamers who join our company will formally sign a contract, the same type we have given to our 50 members. They will be given a High salary in exchange for their absolute loyalty."

Aster thought for a while and replied, "If it's just employing, it is easy. But, to build a company, not only we need to conduct several interviews and background checks, but we also need to order at least 100-150 capsules and buy a huge place to accommodate all of those. I'm afraid it can't be done quickly.

I also need to take Lord Philip's permission. Taking over an IT company is easy but I'm not sure what will be his reaction after hearing about a gaming company."

"It's fine. I'll convince dad about it. You just take care of the formalities. The next thing we need to talk is about Idols and actors."

"Eh? Idols? Young master, what do you mean?"

Wil smiled as he explained, "you know about the life skills that will be available in the upcoming update, right? We are going to take over a mid-sized Entertainment agency and have contracts with certain Idols and actresses and let them play War Online."

"Eh? Idols and Actresses playing the game Young master, I don't quite get it."

"In simple terms, we are going to create an Entertainment agency in the game with our East Ocean city as our base. I'm sure it will be a profiting business."

Looking at this Young master who was explaining with a smile, Aster wasn't sure whether it's really a profitable business or he just wants to fool around and date idols and actresses.

But, then, remembering his extraordinary achievements in the game, Aster can't help but look forward to it, "I'll research about it and give you result by the end of the day."

Wil shook his head, "No need to be in a hurry. Take your own time. It doesn't matter whether it's a week or a month. I'm just starting all of my future plans at once. That's all. But you should do one thing for sure. Life skills are important.

After the maintenance is over, the first thing you need is to ask the boys if anyone is willing to reset their level and class to change to a life-skill profession. Tell them it is not an order but a voluntary option.

The first person to step forward will be the Guild leader for our subsidiary guild, which will focus only on life-skills. The second one to do will become the Vice-Guild leader. Give both of them a one-year contract. The leader will get a monthly salary of 200K Credits and Vice-Leader will get 150K.

Remember, you shouldn't tell the benefits before they agreed and changed their profession. You know the rest of the process of recruiting.

"Yes. It'll be done." Aster nodded but then asked, "what if no one steps forward?"

Wil replied indifferently, "Then, it's their loss. There are 90K players in East Ocean City, you know."

"Yes, I understand."

"Good. You don't need to do start research for today. Just take a break and rest. You worked very hard for the past few days."

At 8 o'clock, Summersoft announced twenty-four hours maintenance and the patch full details while adding a few more changes.

*As the method of using the Guardians to level up and lending it to others was leaked inside the forums, too many people leveled-up quickly.

So, to remove this abnormality, Summersoft announced the Guardians will be restricted to work only in their working hours, a maximum of 10 hours per day between morning 6 to evening 6.

Instead of a week, now, they also have daily and monthly rates so that it will be affordable with the prerequisite is that one has to be at least Viscount to hire them, and even then, their limit can only be 50 levels above.

Those who hired the other level guards before can submit the list to the City administration within a day and the gold spent on them will be refunded in full amount as compensation.

The high-level guards will be naturally removed and the user will be compensated in full, naturally.

Lastly, their prices will also change according to the gold exchange rate.

The first change really surprised Wil as he never expected the system would take such an appropriate action so quickly. After all, he knew that the game isn't controlled by the company but the world's fastest supercomputer, Aria.

*Second is the implementation of Class quests from their respective Class Associations. Previously, everyone only went to the Association at level 20 to change their class.

Now, everyone can complete the quests and gain exp, coins, and Association points, which is useful to buy rare items exclusive for their class. With this, they won't need to depend on dungeons and wild to level-up.

*Third is the implementation of adventure quests. Players who don't belong to any guild can register themselves as a member of adventurer association.

Then, they can form a team with fellow members of the association to complete the quest and get rewards. Like Associations, they will receive adventure points to buy exclusive items present by the Adventurer association.

*The fourth is the Guild shop and Guild Branch feature.

Those who will donate the equipment and currency to the Guild will not only receive contribution points but also guild points, which is decided by the system.

The Guild shop is an exchanging platform between the Guild members as they exchange the items with the Guild points.

For each transaction, the system will take an 8% fee while the Guild leader will receive 2% and Vice Guild Leader will receive a 1% commission from the system.

As for Guild Branch, a guild can officially set up a guild branch under the same name in different cities once their main branch has been raised to level-3. All of them will share one guild shop.

*The final addition is the Battle Arena.

By participating in random PVP matches and tournaments with no penalty, players can earn arena coins, fame, etc... according to their grade.

B-Block, 7th Floor, Scarlet Apartments;

As Jiwon and Hyori were eating their breakfast at 9:30 A.M. while watching television, she received a text message.

Looking at it, she nudged her sister, "Hyori, aren't you going to be late for your part-time job?"
