I handed over the game to the gaming industry, and the government gave me a hacked version.

Chapter 47 You call this a guild?

Inside the Supreme Training Room, the golden light that pierced through heaven and earth slowly dissipated.

Chen You stood tall, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body and the glaring "LV10" on his attribute panel.

After 26 hours of intense work, we have finally reached a new starting point.

Guilds, dungeons... a whole new world has opened its doors.

But he did not act immediately.

Chen You left the training room and went straight to Hill.

"Hill, tell me about the guild system."

As Hill explained, Chen You's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The joy of reaching level 10 vanished instantly.

After confirming that he understood everything, Chen You left the game without hesitation.

……

In the real world, in China, there is an underground base for the "pay-to-win" project.

The meeting room was already as bright as day.

When Chen You pushed open the door, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

Li Guoan, Zhang Yunhai, Sun Feng, Pan Yu...

All the core members of the project team were present, and each of them wore an expression of undisguised excitement and anticipation.

"Finally reached level 10!"

Sun Feng, the head of the data team, was speaking with a trembling voice.

"That's great! Xiao Chen, you've worked hard!" Li Guoan stood up, personally pulled out a chair for Chen You, his eyes full of satisfaction.

This treatment left Chen You feeling flattered and overwhelmed.

"Director, experts, I have not failed you." Chen You sat down, took a deep breath, and got straight to the point.

"After reaching level 10, two core functions are unlocked: guilds and dungeons."

"The guild system, in particular, is more complex than I expected!"

He recounted everything he had learned from the consultation at the Supreme Building, word for word.

The meeting room was initially filled with joyful whispers.

Guild means organization.

Dungeons mean a stable output of high-level resources.

These are all expected standard game settings, and also the goals they eagerly hope Chen You will achieve.

However, when Chen You said his next sentence, the air in the entire conference room seemed to be sucked out instantly.

"...According to the system description, after a player establishes a guild, in addition to having an exclusive territory within the game world..."

"The 'Source Realm' system will also simultaneously generate a 'Guild Projection Territory' in the real world of the player's civilization."

"Most importantly, members of this guild, after meeting certain conditions, will be able to... teleport to this real-world territory."

The moment the words fell.

The huge conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The air, which was filled with the celebratory aroma of champagne just a moment ago, has now frozen into the eternal ice of Siberia.

Sociologist Pan Yu's hand, which was adjusting her glasses, froze in mid-air. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Biologist Zhang Ping's smile froze, and for the first time, his eyes, which looked at everything as if it were a rare creature, revealed shock.

Tactical team leader Zhang Yunhai, a tough soldier who had emerged from the hail of bullets, instinctively tensed up and slammed his right hand on the edge of the table.

They were all top figures in their respective fields, and in just a moment, they saw through the chilling truth behind this brief description.

This is not a game feature.

This is a blatant, dimensional... beach landing!

"Invasion..." Zhang Yunhai squeezed out two words, his voice dry and hoarse.

"What a catastrophe it would be if an orc warrior, or even a Titan, suddenly appeared in our heartland through this mechanism..."

His words struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

Previously, the threat was still a vague concept of "player death, civilization disaster".

Now, the threat has been made concrete.

If a Level 92 Titan Berserker, Thalos, were to appear on the streets of China, its destructive power would surpass that of a cruise missile!

"That's not right." Data team leader Sun Feng shook his head violently, his face pale but his eyes sharp.

"Conversely, if we could join guilds of other civilizations, wouldn't that mean our people...?"

"Chen You, will you have the opportunity to set foot on the real land of other civilizations?"

"A real, otherworldly realm inhabited by Titans and Elven gods! This is invaluable information! A golden opportunity!"

In an instant, the conference room was divided into two completely different factions.

The military personnel led by Zhang Yunhai saw a "threat," an "intrusion," and a national defense security vulnerability that had to be prevented at all costs.

For researchers led by Sun Feng, however, it was an "opportunity," an "exploration," and the only window to understanding the nature of the "source world."

Pan Yu calmly added, "I tend to think that guilds have a very strong tendency towards cultural exclusivity."

Guilds established by Chinese players will most likely only allow Chinese players to join.

Similarly, the chances of us joining a Titan or Elf guild are extremely slim.

"This system is essentially about dividing civilizations into factions and establishing frontline barriers for future conflicts."

Her analysis silenced everyone once again.

Yes, nobody's a fool.

Who would allow a foreign race to step into the "real territory" of their own civilization?

This means that the path of gathering intelligence by joining other guilds is basically blocked.

Then, only one option remains.

"We'll build it ourselves!" Li Guoan listened silently.

At this moment, he finally spoke, his voice steady and deliberate, each word distinct.

"We have no other choice. We must establish a guild that belongs to our own China!"

"Director, where should we locate the guild?" Zhang Yunhai immediately asked the most practical question.

"That 'Guild Projection Territory' is a tangible entity. Once established, it's tantamount to announcing the existence of supernatural forces to the entire world."

"Furthermore, according to the description, the guild territory will also be attacked by monsters... We must prepare a comprehensive defense plan."

This is yet another enormous problem.

Within China, find a place that is sufficiently secluded, can withstand the impact of supernatural forces and monster sieges, and can also be kept secret from global satellite and intelligence networks.

This is an almost impossible task.

"There's an even more troublesome problem," Chen You dropped the final bombshell at just the right moment.

He looked at everyone and slowly said, "To establish a guild, you need a special item called [Territory Certificate]."

"There are two ways to obtain it. First, it can be obtained from monsters worldwide, with an extremely low drop rate, and it cannot be traded."

"Secondly, it can be obtained through a dedicated questline called 'The Cornerstone of Civilization.' But..."

Chen You paused, his tone becoming somewhat strange.

"This mission is recommended for teams of ten or more. Furthermore, each player can only accept this mission once in their lifetime."

Ten or more people?

In the entire conference room, everyone's eyes once again fell on Chen You.

That one and only player, all alone.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

There is a strategic need to establish a guild on one hand, and an insurmountable quest threshold on the other.

This seems like a dead end.

Chen You could even feel that the breathing of the experts had become heavy.

They racked their brains but couldn't figure out how a "single" person could complete a difficult task that required "ten" people.

"hehe……"

Suddenly, a soft laugh broke the silence.

It's Li Guoan.

He leaned back in his chair, his face showing not despair, but a challenging smile.

"A ten-person mission?"

He extended a finger and gently shook it.

"Who said we're alone?"
