After dinner, Xia Bei and Rouge went out and walked towards the Imperial Sword Tianxing Hall.

The sun had set, the sky was dark, and the street lights in the neighborhood were lit up. Now that it is almost the end of autumn, the autumn tiger is gone, and the temperature is gradually getting cooler. The temperature difference between day and night begins to widen. And every season of the Arace, as soon as night falls, there will be terrifying dust storms in the wild. Although there is a filtration system of the environment and protection of the life support system, people can still clearly feel the turbidity of the air.

This is still on the ground. If you're in the underworld, the environment is even worse.

Of course, if you have the money to live in the upper world of Space City, you will find that it is picturesque and the air is fresh all year round. Every star you pay can make you feel the value from enjoyment.

Xia Bei and Rouge are very familiar with District 11.

Based on the past experience of the two of them, usually at this time, there will be no one on the street. Except for those who returned late wearing masks or covering their mouths and noses with scarves, the streets were deserted.

Only the old plot robots crunch and never stop sweeping the streets. Only occasionally a police car flashed silently, slowly passing by the road, and the red and yellow lights made the night even more silent and deep.

But today's streets are full of people.

Obviously, the bankruptcy and collapse of Hongkun Group is like an earthquake that has swept the whole world. It's not just the 11th ward, it's not just Cheonan...... In the news, dozens of immigrant planets throughout the Galactic Republic, all of them!

After all, it's a super enterprise with hundreds of millions of employees, spanning dozens of industries, and implicating billions of people.

As soon as it fell like this, every planet, every city, I don't know how many people tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night.

Humans are social animals.

At this moment, everyone's most instinctive action is to huddle. Except for some companies that immediately recalled employees for meetings and overtime due to emergencies, the rest of the people are not willing to stay at home alone.

People who have something to do with this matter, discuss a few words with people who share the same fate, or comfort each other, and feel a little better. And it doesn't matter that people like to join in the fun.

Besides, it doesn't matter how many people are okay?

The economy of the republic is deteriorating, and the world is so depressed that there is no future in sight. Now, even one of the three mega-corporations, which had always been considered the pro-son of the republic and the foundation of the country, has collapsed, so what does that mean?

That means that the situation is out of control! Even the government cabinet, which has been struggling to support itself, can no longer hold on.

It's like a person hanging on a cliff and clasping only a little crack in the rock wall with his fingers...... If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't support it anymore, he would let it go, and would he let himself fall into the abyss in this free-fall position?

Not to mention the presidential palace, the upper elites of Congress, even ordinary people know that this is a fallen domino. The first to fall, even the smallest piece, may trigger a terrifying chain reaction, not to mention, it is a behemoth like Hongkun Group that is falling now?

Storms are bound to spread.

Now the people who seem to be not implicated on the surface, who knows if after a while, will they lose their jobs because of some kind of roundabout reason?

Walking in the worried crowd, Xia Bei and Rouge couldn't hear what people were talking about, crying, and arguing, but as far as they could see, it was just a gloomy fog. It doesn't feel like walking on the streets of the neighborhood, but like walking in a barracks where wounded soldiers gather after a defeat. The mood is gloomy and depressing.

When passing by a crowd, Xia Bei's footsteps paused slightly.

Seven or eight old people gathered, and an old woman was crying something, to the effect that her son and daughter-in-law were both working in the Hongkun Group, and the whole family was living on this job. Because of busy work, heavy burden and pressure in life, my daughter-in-law is almost forty years old and has not yet had children. I just got pregnant some time ago, and the whole family has made up their minds to have this child, and it's a big deal to live a little tighter.

But now......

"What's wrong?" Rouge took Xia Bei's hand, very keenly distracted from his emotions.

"Nothing. Xia Bei shook his head and silently followed Rouge's pace.

In the distance, the neon lights of the Edgeworth Celestial Hall lit up, and in this dimness, there was only light. And the world it represents is also far away in another time and space, isolated from this world.

There, there is a bright sunshine.

......

......

Soon, Xia Bei and Rouge had already arrived at the Imperial Sword Tianxing Hall.

Walking through the parking lot in front of the hall, before entering the door, the eyes of the two were attracted by a row of familiar locomotives in the parking lot.

"Yes......" Rouge looked at Xia Bei in surprise.

Xia Bei laughed.

For a long time, the dragon and tiger have been galloping, and their attitude towards Tianxing is only hot with rouge shaving their heads. Whether it was the previous stone dragon, or the bobcat, or the knife, they were not very enthusiastic. This time, he bought the car repair shop of his dreams, and in his opinion, he is afraid that he will not have the interest and time to go to heaven.

I didn't expect these guys to be so cute.

He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of how reserved they wanted to surprise Rouge...... These guys are still playing surprise so old-fashioned...... Belch...... Xia Bei touched his nose and said, "Let's go, I guess they are all waiting for you." ”

"Hmm. Rouge nodded, his eyes were shining, and the emotions that he had felt a little suppressed before had become much lighter.

Walking into the hall, Xia Bei found that it was much more lively than the last time he came.

In the central public teleportation area, at least half of the thirty public teleportation pods have been opened. There is an endless stream of players coming and going to the world of Skywalk. The café and restaurant on the left are also full.

Because of the news of the collapse of Hongkun Group, many players are gathering around the TV screen to pay attention to the news of Hongkun Group at the moment. Although the atmosphere was equally solemn, it was calm compared to the gloomy clouds and fog outside.

The main changes are the guild and clan areas on the right side of the hall.

This area is a tall and empty space with a transparent glass dome and a steel structure, like a gymnasium, and it was still empty the last time Xia Bei came. In the huge building, only the areas of different guilds are divided, and desks and some facilities such as tactical deduction tables and live virtual light curtains are placed, and the guild's application has not yet been accepted.

Today, however, at least half of the guild districts already have owners.

As far as the eye can see, the guild areas are made up of wooden floors of different colors and glass partition walls, and the signs of different guilds are hung. Players gather in their guild districts, or meet to discuss something, or point fingers at the stage, or argue loudly.

There are also some players who have not joined the guild and are going up the aisle to look at the east and the west. And every time at this time, these guilds have special people who appear to be responsible for reception and introduction. The smell of gunpowder between each other looks like a free market for business.

Of course, the targets they compete for are all strong players, and some new players are usually not very well handled.

For such a scene, whether it is Xia Bei or Rouge, they are no strangers.

In this era, most people's path to Tianxing starts from the Tianxing Hall. Needless to say, even Xia Bei never went to Tianxing before, and as long as he was free, he would go to the Tianxing Hall for recreation. The tournaments held in the guild, the competition between guilds, and the news and stories circulating among the large number of players gathered were what he was most interested in.

In essence, these Tianxing Guild Halls that are located in every corner of the Galactic Republic are the foundation of Galaxy Tianxing.

Without these guilds, without these ordinary players, Galaxy Skywalk would be nothing more than an empty world, and those professional clubs would be nothing more than rootless.

In Xia Bei's eyes, every Tianxing Hall is a river and lake.

These guilds stationed in the guild hall are like sects in the martial arts world. In order to overwhelm other sects, in order to compete for the position of the leader of the alliance, they often fight, and even do everything.

Generally speaking, a hall that has been open for a relatively long time has a relatively stable internal structure. Led by a super guild, surrounded by a group of younger brothers. The eldest eats meat, the younger brother drinks soup, and if there is a foreign enemy provoking and invading, they will work together to defend against the enemy.

The most chaotic and conflicting period was when a guild had just opened for business and had not yet decided on a chief resident guild. The major guilds are not only desperately recruiting people and desperately expanding their strength, but also playing tricks such as combining vertical and horizontal, sowing discord, and even infernal affairs.

Casually combing through the history of the competition for the resident guild of a guild, you can find countless bizarre and jaw-dropping stories, and write a long story.

Obviously, this [Edgeworth Heavenly Clan] is now at this stage. As soon as they walked into the guild hall, Xia Bei and Rouge felt a strong smell of gunpowder in the guild area.
