Chapter 254: Big Guilds in Their Infancies
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the Coiled Dragon Office, Xi Chenzhou was listening to the report from his spy. “The Yuanheng Pavilion brought about 300 people altogether?! Just to play the so-called ‘The Legend of Mir 2’? What’s so special about this Legend of Mir 2?”
The movement of a big force like the Yuanheng Pavilion had obviously drawn the attention of other forces besides the Coiled Dragon Office.
Black Demon was one of them.
“Mr. Wang, what do you…” A black-robed, middle-aged man with long hair falling on his shoulders sat in the great hall and asked, “Why do you think the Yuanheng Pavilion brought about 300 people to that shop?”
“Big Boss Black Demon,” the grey-robed cultivator said with a smile, “We’ve investigated the issue. It’s said that one can enter another world that is comparable to real life through that shop, and people can find treasures and increase cultivation strengths. The effects are excellent!”
“You mean that they have found something that is worthy of using so much manpower?” Black Demon asked in his deep voice.
“Very possible!” The grey-robed cultivator nodded and said.
“This small shop named Origins is quite weird!” Black Demon chuckled, “Shall we bring some people there and have a look?”
Besides the Coiled Dragon Office and Black Demon, some other forces in Half City had also noticed the unusual moves of the Yuanheng Pavilion!
They all sent spies and scouts to the places near Fang Qi’s shop to get information.
Meanwhile, the corpses who had laid on the ground or even got offline all went back online and respawned!
If someone opened the Jiuhua Army channel, they would find that there were over 200 people in it!
Except for the players of other games who came to this channel in QQ to spectate and listen in on the battle, there were altogether more than 200 people fighting in the war!
About 200 people of all three professions charged at the people of Yuanheng Pavilion in an organized way, catching the latter off guard! In only ten minutes, the latter all fell to the ground!
At this moment, a large group of people came in the internet cafe including spies from other forces, Xi Chenzhou with some guards of the Coiled Dragon Office, and Black Demon with about a dozen of Black Demon Guards.
The moment that they entered the internet cafe, they heard loud shouts, “Respawn at the count of three!”
“Three! Two! One!”
“Respawn!”
“Wizards, don’t be afraid of death! All charge!”
“All of you, charge!”
“Their number is almost the same as ours! Charge and kill!”
“Charge forward! Respawn immediately if you die!”
“…”
The yells were hoarse, and the shouts sounded exhausted.
The people watching from behind were dumbfounded!
Xi Chenzhou looked at the black-robed, middle-aged man with long hair. “Black Demon?”
“Mr. Xi? Nice to meet you!” Black Demon cupped his hands and then pointed at the people yelling hoarsely. “What are they doing?”
Feeling awkward, Xi Chenzhou said with a bitter smile, “I guess they are fighting over some treasures.”
They watched the groups of people charging at each other wildly on the screens; it was a chaotic scene.
Their faces twitched as they watched.
“Shall we try the game?” Black Demon asked, “Where’s the shop owner?”
Zou Mo was feeling uneasy. He looked at these people who were standing in front of him and felt like they were all magnificent and influential, but he didn’t know who they were.
He forced himself to speak to them, “Sorry, but the computers are all taken. If you want to play, please wait in line.”
“…”
“Do you know who you’re talking to?!” a subordinate came out from behind Black Demon and questioned.
“Ugh… Who?” Little Mo had cold sweat on his forehead.
“Little Mo!” As the shop owner, Fang Qi had to keep an eye on the things happening in the shop. “Next time you encounter such people, tell them these eight words: Play if you want, but get out otherwise!”
“You!” That man was infuriated instantly, but he backed off at Black Demon’s stare.
“Are you the President of the Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild?” Black Demon stared at Fang Qi who was playing the game as he asked. Knowing that Qin Honglin was destroyed by this shop mysteriously, he naturally wouldn’t make a rash move before he understood the situation.
“You want to join?”
At a loss for words, Black Demon decided to ignore him. Instead, he stood behind the people of Yuanheng Pavilion and watched.
This war between the people of Yuanheng Pavilion and the Jiuhua Joint Army was insane. They alternated in groups and used the computers in turns until midnight. In the beginning, the people of the Yuanheng Pavilion were in the disadvantage, but they held on since they could respawn an unlimited number of times.
As time went on, the number of the Jiuhua Joint Army began to increase, and they were replaced by elite soldiers with greater combat skills, which made the scale tip toward the Jiuhua Army gradually.
In the end, at 12 in midnight when the shop closed, the Jiuhua Army buried the Yuan Huang United Army at the respawn point in a landslide!
Going from victory to being buried in the respawn point, Tang Yuan was reluctant to admit defeat. Seeing that Black Demon and the others were in the shop, he pulled these people into his group.
Meanwhile, Fang Qi’s new shop had reached the target of shop expansion on the second day of business; there was a full house and long lines!
On the second day, the war broke out again with the Yuanheng Pavilion starting it with the intention of gaining back the victory. Making use of the extra 500 computers that the shop had added overnight, they joined forces with people like Black Demon and fought back!
With both shops at full capacity, the players of other games in the old shop couldn’t even find available computers! They had all been taken by the players of the Legend of Mir 2 who were waiting at the door in the early morning!
After fighting for two whole days, both parties found that neither of them could gain the upper hand because this wasn’t the real world in which one couldn’t respawn after being killed!
In the game, the players could respawn countless times, and they could never kill their enemies for good.
They hadn’t been able to think straight when they were first killed by their opponents, but after battling for two days and considering the situation during the nights while the war was paused, they began to understand the situation.
Only people with equal strengths could have an equal right to talk to each other.
In the war, both parties had seen each other’s strength and knew that at the current level, they were all strong, and neither could gain the upper hand.
Soon, the conference channel between the Morning Star Sea Realm and Dajin Country was established!
No one knew about their negotiations, but they finally reached a temporary peace agreement and began exploring in the world without much conflict.
After all, neither party could gain any benefits in the war. Instead, they consumed a lot of manpower and resources, which was not their intention of playing the game in the beginning.
As a result, the two-day war involving over 1,000 elite warriors and cultivators across countless kilometers that was caused by some deer meat came to an end for the time being!
Meanwhile, some big forces began to establish their forces in the Legend of Mir 2, including the Liuyun Daoist Palace and the Cloud Ocean Faction which paid little attention to the game before.
Forces such as the Royal Family, the Yuanheng Pavilion, Black Demon, and the Coiled Dragon Office didn’t need to be specifically mentioned. Although they didn’t have the ability to establish guilds officially, they were building guilds that were in their infancies.
