CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 158 COMMERCE ASSOCIATION/BANK

The day is growing late.

The golden sun is about to set behind the mountains.

The large building, which has been echoing with sounds nonstop since morning, is now growing even noisier.

Several council notebooks are stacked together.

These are the meeting minutes from today and the results of discussions on key matters.

After a day’s deliberation.

The fundamental structure of the organization "Night Watcher" has basically been established.

Some details have also undergone sufficient discussion, and now await actual implementation.

We need action while continuing discussions and amendments.

It will take at least one or two months for the entire framework to be fully realized and stabilized.

During this time, they will certainly be busy.

"Well, I shall end today here. The first important meeting of the Night Watcher has successfully concluded. I thank you all for your thoughts and contributions."

Kana said with a smile, applauding towards everyone.

"Alright, dismissed."

People gradually left.

However, important personnel stayed behind one by one. These are the people who will hold leadership positions within various departments.

First is the already established power center, the "Torch Council."

Council members: Kana, Sergio, Vainsha, Beget.

Among them, Kana is referred to as the "Leader," while the others are honored as "Torch."

The leader of the Night Watcher will be birthed from within the council.

This was determined through today’s lengthy council.

And "Torch" naturally symbolizes the guiding firelight.

At this moment, all four still remain in the council hall.

Apart from these four.

There is also Lurik, Ichard, Blake, Bobo, and Alyris.

These individuals naturally possess enough strength, are trustworthy, and have sufficient prestige within the Night Watcher.

Now, only four people remain seated.

The others stand behind.

"Ahem, now, let’s start the first Torch meeting."

After speaking, Kana looked at everyone and openly spoke: "Now let’s discuss the three aspects: salaries, rewards, and punishments."

Such a small meeting naturally becomes more casual and natural.

The Count said: "Let’s talk about salaries first. Although it is definitely necessary, there’s a very realistic point before us.

That is, we currently do not have enough currency stored, and even over a long period afterwards, we won’t have it.

At least now, we are trapped in the Eastern Wilderness."

One side faces the sea, and the other side has completely fallen into the hands of their enemy, the Blood Race Royal Court.

The only viable path might be to sail further south.

There lies a power region below the Eastern Wilderness, a slightly chaotic power region.

Passing through by land is almost impossible, as there’s a great obstacle in the way.

There are cities, wilderness, small mixed forces forming a very loose alliance.

"Moreover, attention must be paid to the standard for salaries.

A Level Three Warrior or Mercenary might only earn two Gold Coins in a year outside.

But a Level Four Warrior or Mage would see a significant increase in income.

Given the current strength level of the Night Watcher, this demand is terribly daunting."

Bobo reminded, but if it’s lower than the outside, it might not align with Kana’s original intention.

Upon hearing this, Kana shared a rather rough idea.

"I want to establish an internal ’Bank’ within Night Watcher, not for currency storage or loans.

But for reward distribution and salary disbursement."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly puzzled, wondering the significance of such a detour?

"I intend to issue a new ’currency’ to the Night Watcher’s internal, temporarily named Contribution Points."

"Contribution Points?" Sergio questioned.

Kana nodded: "Contribution Points will be considered part of the salary granted to Night Watcher, but not excessively. Ideally, the ratio with currency is 2:8.

Treat it more as a reward distribution, and the main use of these Contribution Points is for exchanging some items within Night Watcher, at the bank."

At this point, Kana provided an example: "Some special equipment, some powerful consumables, even the teaching and learning of knowledge and skills.

These can all become items to be exchanged."

On this aspect, Kana is actually very confident.

Because it is simple, powerful datafication items are not easy to collect or buy outside.

Especially some produced only by secondary professions, in times of surpluses later.

It definitely is necessary to add more secondary professions, and the items brought by secondary professions, similar to those in games, play a crucial role in subsequent battles.

Such as Kana’s current professions, "Carving" and "Beast Taming."

The items produced by those professions are absolutely powerful, especially when reaching higher levels, crafted high-level items with rare materials.

These capable of being placed on shelves for exchange, since such items certainly cannot be casually supplied to Night Watcher.

Storing a portion for crucial moments, more on shelves to support Contribution Points.
