Chapter 374 - Back to back achievements! Again!

As the new achievement announcement popped up in front of everyone, the whole kingdom became chaotic once again with Crimson Abyss at the center of focus.

"Silver grade residence? What does that mean? Do they have better facilities?"

"I think there should be an inscription in the forging rooms that gives a higher chance of success."

"Maybe all the materials are better? Damn it. I wish I had access to that. Paying these association assholes every time I need to make something is bleeding me dry."

"Why is it Crimson Abyss in the spotlight again?"

"Fuck. I wish I had joined Goddess Mia's guild earlier. Now all these facilities will already be full!"

"Ah. I need to go join too! They won't lock the recruitment right? Shit, now there will loads of players trying to join."

"What are you talking about? Don't you know that all the Crimson Abyss guild members are being chased and hunted down?"

"Ya, you will only get killed if you join. Don't be an idiot and be fooled by these gimmicks."

"Ah. You are correct. I will wait and see what happens."

Meanwhile, Liam was not done yet. Now that he had the gold coins from the achievement reward, he busied himself again.

This loop would only work when all the buildings were constructed at the same time. So Liam tapped away at the interface without stopping.

The subsequent notifications as well promptly popped up like clockwork in front of him.

[Ding. Please select the grade of magic training room you want to establish.]

[Ding. Please select the grade of Inscription space you want to establish.]

Liam grinned and selected 'Option 3' for both the buildings without holding back, and bingo! Another achievement chimed in.

[Ding. Congratulations to the 'Crimson Abyss' guild for becoming the first guild with a Gold Grade Residence; 1000 fame points are awarded to the guild; 10000 gold coins are awarded to the guild]

[DING. KINGDOM ANNOUNCEMENT. Congratulations to the 'Crimson Abyss' guild for becoming the first guild with a Gold Grade Residence; 1000 fame points are awarded to the guild; 10000 gold coins are awarded to the guild]

Liam licked his lips contently as he opened the guild interface and saw all the gold coins being deposited.

The reward for upgrading guild residence from silver grade to gold grade was even more amazing, and the number of gold coins awarded was much higher.

"Alright. Time for the last one."

Liam tapped the system interface and more options popped up.

[Ding. Please select the grade of the cooking hall you want to establish]

[Ding. Please select the grade of the stables you want to establish]

Using the reward gold coins, Liam quickly finished buying the models for the remaining buildings as well. "This should do it?" Liam muttered, and the next and final achievement rang loudly.

[Ding. Congratulations to the 'Crimson Abyss' guild for becoming the first guild with a Diamond Grade Residence; 2000 fame points are awarded to the guild; 20000 gold coins are awarded to the guild]

For an individual guild to gather so many resources and funding was not easy at all. And the thing was, these upgrades were not really absolutely essential.

One could always use the facilities in many cities for doing the same thing, albeit at a small fee.

Even if a guild had these upgrades, it would only function to make their players' lives more convenient, sort of creating a one stop shop and a better nourishing, encouraging, and welcoming atmosphere for crafting players.

Not just that but inside the guild selling and buying rates would be more stabilized, and guild members could exchange goods and services rather than trading with gold.

So there were indeed a few advantages, but mostly these advantages were not too critical for a guild to survive and thrive.

Especially now that it was a growing stage in the game, it was better to invest this ridiculous amount of resources in equipment and materials rather than throw it away in guild residence.

This was the consensus, at least a while back, but now…

Watching the achievements ring loudly one after the other and also seeing the generous gold coins being rewarded, the other guild officials wanted to bang their heads on the wall.

Why didn't they think of this before!

If they knew that investing in the guild residence could be so rewarding, they could have also shelled out the gold. However, then they remembered the sad truth.

Even if they had the required gold coins, they couldn't do it because of the maximum cap of two facilities.

It was very obvious that 'Crimson Abyss' was only able to do so much and take advantage of these rewards because of their special S-rank.

While all the other players were burning in silent jealousy after hearing about the newest achievement of 'crimson abyss…

Liam looked at the hefty chunk of gold coins and made a quick mental calculation.

It was good to have some reserve gold coins in the guild for attracting new players, but…

He cracked his neck and started tapping again on the system interface, immediately upgrading the alchemy laboratory and the smithy building to the best S-grade quality.

Now that he was close to reaching Level 50, he needed to start spending more time upgrading his skills in both these areas, so the guild residence with these facilities upgraded to the maximum would be handy.

Liam quickly finished the last and final touches using all the gold coins from the reward. "With this, everything should be taken care of?"

The next achievement was only when every single building was fully constructed and upgraded to the top S-grade quality.

Since he clearly lacked the gold coins for that, there was nothing more to be done now.

He stood up to leave, but as an afterthought, he sat back down and selected something else as well.

[Ding. Please select the grade of the massage parlor you want to establish]
