Gaming stocks had always been listed by companies that made games. Up until now, no gaming club had been listed.
Financing was a common thing, but it was a matter of autonomy. For people like Lu Li, he would rather die than accept financing from others. He was afraid that others would run into his territory and point fingers at him.
If a club was listed, what could they use to cheat the investors of their money?
Trophies?
This was completely possible, but the investors only had the champion in their eyes. They couldn't understand the concept of there being only one champion. Most of the previous trophies had been taken by The Capital of Glory. The most recent was Ruling Sword. The trophies that the other clubs had brought out were at least five years old.
The older the trophy, the more valuable it was. It wasn't like it was an antique.
The total number of people in the guilds under the club?
This was too easy to falsify. At the current stage of the development of virtual games, it was easy to start with 100,000 units. There was no way to surpass others in a short period of time. It was the same for competitors. You couldn't just randomly grab someone and say they were a competitor. Otherwise, every club would have thousands of competitors.
In the eyes of ordinary people, having territory was the most awesome thing.
There were a few cities in the game. This was like virtual things suddenly coming into contact with the real economy.
In order to smoothly go public and make a lot of money after going public, these clubs, especially the small and medium-sized clubs that were eager to go public, began to frantically farm Strongholds.
There were also a few very outrageous things that happened.
Among them, there were high prices, cash, assets, and after going public, everyone split the money together. This was fine, as the capital market had always been irrational.
What was more outrageous was that someone actually used a honey trap.
And it was used on the rookie commander, Sky Moon.
Lu Li didn't know at first. He only found out after Sky Moon was teased by a few insiders in the club.
A girl in the top 100 of the beauty rankings was invited to hook up with Sky Moon.
It was no wonder that Water Fairy didn't like to talk about the beauty rankings. She didn't want to be associated with those so-called beauties, which was quite insulting.
Of course, this didn't mean that the people on the beauty rankings were poor.
Those who were really ranked, such as the top 50, could get all kinds of endorsement contracts. Dancing Flower Beauty, who was ranked number one, was in the top 10 of the gaming circle's income rankings last year. The officials even asked her to endorse a game race.
As for Water Fairy, she was a nouveau riche herself.
Ruling Sword didn't have plans to go public for a while. Don't look at how Lu Li was always complaining about the lack of money. In fact, whether it was Ruling Sword or Judgement Spear, they were both developing at a very healthy pace.
His three strongholds were his foundation. They would not be increased, nor would he allow them to be occupied by others.
The new issue of the stronghold had two new maps. One was Winterspring, and the other was Loch Modan.
Winterspring was a map that almost everyone was familiar with. Countless people farmed mounts there, and it was very lively. As a result, it became the new Stronghold map that attracted the most attention.
Loch Modan consists of steep hills and low grassland. There were many mines here, and the local city made money by trading with travelers from South Lordaeron and Azeroth. The main residents were Humans and Dwarves.
Loch Modan was the heart of the proud and vibrant Ironforge Dwarves.
In the second war, the Horde had driven the dwarves to remote areas, forcing them to resort to guerrilla warfare. But now, they had returned to their homeland and had grown stronger.
The players here were basically all newbies, but because Loch Lake produced a type of Loch Flying Fish that couldn't be found anywhere else, fishing and cooking players also liked to come here.
There were also players who came here to hunt Black Bears and Plesiosaurs.
No matter what, these two places had become the focus of contention. The Strongholds in the hands of the super clubs were stubbornly defending, so the new Stronghold became a breakthrough point.
Lu Li was also very interested in the new Stronghold.
He was determined to expand the scale of his own Stronghold. The defense of the three Strongholds was more than enough, because the officials had restricted the production of Fel Reavers. Instead, they had replaced it with a new type of Reaver blueprint, which was much worse than the Fel Reaver.
He gave Judgement Spear two Fel Reavers and mobilized a large number of experts to try and help Judgement Spear seize the Winterspring Stronghold.
No matter how good Loch Modan was, it wasn't as popular as Winterspring.
Especially after the officials cancelled the trading of mounts, if you wanted a mount, you had to farm it yourself. There were fewer merchants who buried themselves in farming mounts in Winterspring, and more combat and Trade Skill players.
Winterspring's snowy scenery was beautiful, like a dream.
Take down Winterspring!
Create a snowy tourist city!
Lu Li personally took command, participating in the new Stronghold's Battle Royale mode.
The so-called Battle Royale mode was basically the eight clubs appearing on the corresponding map. When they entered, they would all be level one and not have any equipment. Everyone could fight monsters on the map to develop, and finally seize the Stronghold stone tablet at the center of the map.
In this mode, dying would be directly kicked out, unless there was equipment or items for resurrection.
Lu Li actually hadn't participated in the new mode and playstyle. In his previous life, how could he have participated in Stronghold battles? At most, he had watched a few videos.
First of all, the eighty Thieves strategy was eliminated.
Stealth wasn't omnipotent, and waiting for others to finish killing each other wasn't realistic either. They weren't idiots.
However, Thieves did have some advantages, so Lu Li brought 10 Thieves with him.
"Five to a small team, quickly develop, and immediately retreat if you encounter an enemy. I'll mark a few gathering points, send a signal if you encounter an enemy, then retreat and lure the enemy to the gathering points. I don't need to teach you what to do after luring them there, right?"
Lu Li was the first to assign tasks.
He also formed an elite team. The Priest was Princely Beauty, the Warrior was Soulless Grass, the Ice Mage was Short Road, the Paladin was Sikong Che and Lu Li himself.
The old members of Ruling Sword, such as Fei Houzi, Moonlight, Big Dog Li, Crippled Black Ant and others, all brought a few new players. Lu Li didn't have much to say to them. Everyone had their own fighting style.
They were only level one, didn't have any equipment, and only had basic skills. At this time, they had to develop.
There were many monsters in Winterspring, and most of them were level 50-60. Of course, the Stronghold map couldn't be set up like this. There were monsters from level 1 to 70, and the highest was level 70, which was the highest level that players could reach.
Training here was very fast. Lu Li and the others used their fists to kill a level five Holly Bear, and they all became level three.
The drop rate wasn't bad either. The Holly Bear dropped a green bow. Everyone looked at each other.
There were no Hunters here!
The few little friends looked at Lu Li with resentment. They had finally seen the big Boss' unlucky hand.
