I Can Bring In-game Items Out

This caused a sensation.

After all, for a normal caravan, hiring an Immortal Master consumes most of the profits, making the earnings extremely limited.

Moreover, the Immortal Masters hired only do their best, but will withdraw in an unstoppable situation, and their hiring fees are non-refundable.

But now, with the altar cart and such, the situation has immediately reversed.

Unremarkable, not attracting attention, and cost-effective, it can be activated by ordinary mortals.

This greatly increases the caravan's profits, naturally giving it a significant competitive edge compared to the natives.

Hence, there is more demand for such special altars.

Seeing this, Small Knife got interested and began designing new spiritual rune blueprints.

Spirit stones, no matter how many I have, are never enough.

No matter how large personal space is, it's still unsatisfactory.

Manufacturing spiritual rune blueprints is not an easy task in itself, but with personal space, Small Knife finds it easy and smooth.

Small Knife felt that these new tactics should alert the natives.

But in fact, it was not as the players imagined.

Nowadays, Undying Guild and Holy Sanctuary Guild also display their respective methods, causing quite a few incidents, including frequent slayings of Immortal Masters.

There is concern that it might attract the attention and vigilance of those Immortal Sects.

But in reality, although Immortal Sects have sent cultivators to investigate, it always feels perfunctory, like just going through the motions.

Along with mutual competition, all major forces are clearly getting crazier, becoming more reckless.

Just at Little Knife Studio's side, the number of cities they control is continuously growing.

They have also quietly subdued quite a few families.

Because of the World Alliance's rules, they can't turn on each other; instead, they must strike first to gain the upper hand, while those who act slower suffer.

Hence, everyone with some power is seizing territories to earn more merits, becoming increasingly unscrupulous.

In this regard, Small Knife has an obvious advantage.

The reason is simple: numbers.

It's not that Little Knife Studio has many people, but that the players of Four Seas and Nine Heavens Studio are numerous enough.

Coupled with their reputation among players, Undying and Holy Sanctuary Guild players can't compare, as they still have too few players.

This is an absolute advantage.

Moreover, Four Seas and Nine Heavens wholly regard themselves as subordinate to Little Knife Studio, understanding that they can't hope to challenge the authority of the bosses, making all these equal to Little Knife Studio's gains, giving it a significant lead in the World Alliance competition.

The modified World Alliance rules allow any player to join.

In fact, practically all players have joined it by now, taking up shares in the future World Alliance by completing missions and so on.

They have all become comrades, and neither Undying nor Holy Sanctuary Guilds can act against them.

Thus, despite their extraordinary combat strength, the advantage is inconspicuous among ordinary players, gradually losing ground.

Reviewing this, Small Knife was truly astonished and found it very interesting.

So many things have happened during my seclusion.

However, a lack of numbers remains a major issue, even though the two large guilds of Nine Heavens and Four Seas have attracted the vast majority of players, and their reputation among ordinary players is enough.

But among the natives, the numbers are still too few.

Mountain Grass and others have also opened up a large number of places for players to enter the Second World.

But every player qualification still requires resource consumption.

There are quite a few more than before, yet the total amount still feels like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.

Just using up Little Knife Studio's quota alone would take at least several years.

Because Little Knife Studio's quota is 1 million, but now they occupy two of the Four Extremes, with each extreme adding ten million player slots, the total is 21 million slots.

The other two extremes naturally are also expanding manpower, with a large number of players acquiring slots to enter the Second World.

Yet similarly, due to resource constraints, the numbers are still far from enough.

Even so, new players descend each day, making the atmosphere bustling with life.

Even the uninhabited islands around Little Knife Island have been seized by players and are under development.

Because Little Knife Island can no longer accommodate the growing number of novice players.

To quickly enhance player strength, reserve players in reality have started early training.

Undergoing assessments to gain earlier access to the game.

However, in the game, the best upgrade method remains the unique offerings of Little Knife Studio like chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and so on.

Nowadays, these are produced in substantial quantities, with no timed restrictions on sales.

But other forces can't obtain them through Little Knife Studio's tasks; that's just a drop in the bucket, so they can only purchase them.

The price, heh!

Fleecing is inevitable, primarily accepting spirit stones, no other money accepted.

However, Holy Sanctuary and Undying Guilds have enough foundation, still procuring quite a lot, unwilling to fall behind at the starting line.

Because once the world is unified, these early seized shares will bring continuous profits.

That definitely surpasses any amount of spirit stones.

Looking at this information and such, Small Knife was itching to take action.

The biggest problem now.

"Not enough players, let's recruit natives." Small Knife directly suggested gathering natives; though they don't speak of loyalty, they can be used in some ordinary positions.

As long as the system is perfected and the benefits adequate, they can still be of use.

Additionally, with his authority, he plans to directly cultivate more NPCs.

Though these NPCs lack potential, they are the most loyal.

Unfortunately, cultivating NPCs requires soul fragments as the most crucial material, only obtainable through death or killing.

Small Knife pondered for a moment.

The entire Second World, the total number of players is estimated to peak at only a few million.

This world is not large; a rough estimation puts the human population at just over tens of million, at most over a billion.

But in reality, the human population is incredibly vast.

A thought sprung up and could not be held back.

Act upon it immediately.

Small Knife, through the Celestial Net, used his authority to produce a batch of Totem Poles.

The core of this thing is also soul fragments.

Lin Hun Fragment is the most crucial material.

For the sake of Totem Poles, other investments had to be reduced.

To save, Small Knife manufactured simplified Totem Poles, with no attack or defense power, their sole function being domain and maximizing domain range.

In his research, he also produced some Earth God Statues.

East God originated from being a Witch, with Basic functionalities being quite similar, but future developments differ.

Likewise, these basic Earth God Statues are also simplified versions.

Second World's soul fragments being insufficient, come from reality instead.

This was the notion that just sprang up for Small Knife.

Because the population in reality is far too large.

Subsequently, Small Knife got busy, placing these Totem Poles in reality's most densely populated cities.

Celestial Net may not be able to cover everything but includes big hospitals.

The investment is substantial, a long-term task.

However, Small Knife was immediately rewarded shortly after installing several Totem Poles in the major city while aboard his invisible flying car.

Quickly inspecting the hint.

It turned out that someone in reality had died, passed away in a hospital, right within the range of his newly installed Totem Pole, and the acquired soul fragments stunned Small Knife.

It was simply a delightful surprise, one alone matching hundreds or thousands in reality.

Though the initial harvest is modest, this effect is already extremely impressive and exaggerated, with unparalleled potential.

But that's also normal.

In-game player deaths can lead to resurrection, with limited dissipating soul power, while natives and Wild Beasts don't seem to have souls identical to Water Blue Star People in reality, rendering their usage dramatically limited.

Currently harvested soul fragments are naturally used first to cultivate more Earth Gods and Totem Poles.

As for the pros and cons of the two, future developments have yet to be seen.

Huh!

Just installed this Earth God Statue.

There is yet another hint.

Upon inspection.

Small Knife jumped, initially thinking he was seeing things.

Damn!

Why so much?

There aren't masses of dead, how did I acquire so many soul fragments?

And they are all ultra-small, seemingly not formed from real-world deaths, similar to those absorbed when players die in the Second World.

But the numbers exceed expectations.

Quickly investigating, Small Knife's mouth hung open.

Damn.

Turns out, his newly installed Earth God Statue's domain opened up, precisely enveloping a thriving small Taoist temple.
