Chapter 333: Faction Territory
If Lin Yuan wanted to create his private faction—apart from the wait for the Floating Island Whale to hatch—he would have to build a sky city on the back of the majestic giant beast.
At the same time, Lin Yuan had to establish his faction’s territory on Star Web.
To a certain extent, Star Web was already considered a second world in the Radiance Federation. In fact, more things could be accomplished on Star Web than in reality.
It was due to the massive size of the Radiance Federation’s map. Even with a Diamond fey, it was difficult to travel between two major cities. If it was to travel between the southernmost city and the northernmost city, it would need at least two months of journey.
Therefore, it was actually the most convenient for matters that weren’t very important to have the negotiation and trade on Star Web. Matters like the application to set up a guild club could be easily done at the Guild Alliance.
However, to be officially recognized as a guild club by the Guild Alliance in the list and to participate in the S Tournament, one would need to establish the home base first, and there would be plenty of inspections.
However, it was different when establishing a private faction, and it wouldn’t be as troublesome. In order to establish a private faction, one would need to prove to the Radiance Federation that they had a sufficient foundation.
The foundation didn’t mean wealth, but actually martial strength.
Once the faction possessed the combat standard of a pinnacle king-class faction, one would be able to submit the application to establish a private faction.
Establishing a private faction on Star Web was different from establishing a Star Web store.
For Star Web stores, the store’s grade would be increased gradually, allowing for the store’s space to increase. At the same time, all decorations on the Star Web store could be purchased in furnishing stores on Star Web. It didn’t have to be items that existed in reality and were scanned into the Star Web through the Star Web Card.
However, to establish a private faction on Star Web was the same as establishing a private faction in reality.
Firstly, a territory had to be purchased on Star Web.
The territory space on Star Web that was specifically used for factions would be as big as a B-level guild club from the Guild Alliance.
The territory bought from Star Web could be freely used for construction. However, all of the decorations inside the faction territory must be items from the real world and scanned by the Star Web Card.
It was precisely because of this reason that the foundation of a private faction could be seen by the territory’s construction.
Moreover, there was always this restriction for items scanned into the Star Web with the Star Web Card. For any fey or spiritual ingredient, they could only be scanned once by the Star Web Card.
It was also because of this reason, many of the newly established factions on Star Web would look for the veteran factions and spend huge amounts of Radiance dollars to scan in some items that would be good enough to uphold their reputation.
Some examples would be jade-textured wooden decorations or furniture. As for completely jade-textured wooden decorations and furniture, those veteran factions wouldn’t lend them no matter how much money was offered.
After all, completely jade-textured wooden items that represented one’s foundation weren’t enough for even veteran factions.
Some of the newly established factions might already have martial strength that was at the standard of veteran factions, however, most of the veteran factions wouldn’t even view these rising factions at their own level. After all, the rising factions were lacking in foundations when compared with the veteran factions.
Some of the veteran factions with a deep foundation would actually despise those rising factions. It was a kind of cycle of despise as the veteran factions with deep foundations would feel that the rising factions were just a group of upstarts without years of experience to settle as their foundation.
Nevertheless, one had to admit that these veteran factions were indeed stronger than the rising factions. After all, there were times when resources could indeed be used to represent strength.
As compared to those rising factions, veteran factions would have an easier time obtaining the king-class experts’ loyalty.
King-class experts didn’t just need resources to nurture their contracted feys. They also had to accumulate resources to trade for a Bronze fey with high quality after comprehending a Willpower Rune.
It could be said to be a constant requirement for a huge amount of resources.
The prestigious families’ descendants didn’t have to worry about such resources’ requirements but instead the spirit qi professionals from ordinary families who relied on themselves. If they wished to improve further after reaching king-class, they would normally have an easier time just joining a veteran faction than striving for themselves.
Take the king-class group that had hosted the auction which had Lin Yuan participated in. That king-class group didn’t have any veteran faction as a backer, and they were just a group of pinnacle king-class experts that were gathered together.
That’s why when two of the members had comprehended their Willpower Runes, they had to sort out their resources to trade for Bronze/Epic feys.
It was enough to see that the resources king-class experts required were always more than what they could actually earn.
This was already prominent in a group of king-class experts. What about those king-class experts that worked alone?
Therefore, the best choice for those lone king-class experts was to join a veteran faction. It was the reason why veteran factions had plenty of power that would always be hidden in the dark.
It was unlike those rising factions that always liked to place their power in the light in order to attract more people to join them.
However, the strength difference between rising factions and veteran factions would never be absolute. The factor that could cause a change would be high-class Creation Masters.
If a rising faction that didn’t have much foundation had a Class 4 Creation Master’s assistance, then the rising faction would be able to promote into a veteran faction quickly and would be gradually recognized by other veteran factions.
In short, no matter what, if Lin Yuan wanted to establish his own private faction on Star Web, his first step would be to purchase territory.
As for the application to establish a private faction on Star Web, Lin Yuan wasn’t worried at all. If pinnacle king-class combat strength were enough to apply for a private faction’s establishment, it wouldn’t be considered a problem for the current Lin Yuan.
Endless Summer was Lin Yuan’s Protector and was naturally considered his martial strength. As a Suzerain/Myth III fey, Endless Summer already had an emperor-class expert’s strength.
As long as he made the application, he would immediately reach the standard and pass. Thus, Lin Yuan wasn’t thinking of how he should apply for the establishment of his private faction. Instead, he was thinking of how he should decorate his private faction’s territory.
