Chapter 138: Ulterior motives
In the Thousand Faces family, "busy" often means power, status, and wealth, and if you are "laid-back" and have nothing to do, then it can only mean that you are marginalized.
The previous thousand-faced milk bottle was such a big idler.
Although he is the only son of Shen Xingyang, the current head of the Shen family, in a big family like the Shen family, among the younger generation, he is not the best one, I am afraid that he is not even ranked in the middle of the stream.
Before that, a Shen Zhan crushed him to death.
However, when he met such a noble person as Ning Yi, his fate has improved greatly, and now he is taking advantage of the shareholder style of the phantom world to show his strength in the world of virtual games.
The Phantom World Branch of a large game guild, not counting the potential, is now worth more than 300 million.
The equipment, materials, and in-game currency in the guild's warehouse are all hard currency, and the increase in wealth is secondary.
What has been the most desired thing for a thousand noodle bottles?
Respect!
is always regarded as a waste, and it is most unbearable for a noble son like him who was born with a golden key in his mouth.
He craves to be respected, to be recognized, to prove his abilities to everyone.
After becoming the president of the Phantom World Chapter of the Thousand Faces Family, he got everything, everything he longed for, and everything he longed for, was satisfied.
So for Ning Yi, who helped him achieve these goals, Thousand Faces Bottle is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Standing on the other side, Shen Zhan, who was also from the Thousand-Faced Family, that is, the Thousand-Faced God of War, looked over with hatred.
Looking at Ning Yi, who was talking happily with the thousand-faced milk bottle, there was anger and resentment hidden in his eyes: "All this glory and wealth should have belonged to me, Shen Shichao, that idiot, what qualifications do you have to fight with me!" ”
The defeat of the competition leader has devastated the God of War with a Thousand Faces.
And when he knew that the person who supported his competitor behind him was Ning Yi, the flame of resentment in the depths of his heart burned even more fiercely.
Looking at Ning Yi's back, the Thousand-Faced God of War secretly smiled: "Laugh, soon you won't be able to laugh." ”
"Huh?"
As if he felt some kind of hostility, Ning Yi turned his head without a trace, and then met the gaze of the God of War with a thousand faces, and saw his thoughts.
The God of War with a Thousand Faces was swept by Ning Yi's gaze, and he panicked for a moment for no reason, but soon became angry at his performance: Why should I be afraid of him? He should be afraid of me!
Then he glared back fiercely, and raised his glass in protest.
"Hmph, it's my obnoxious cousin."
The thousand-faced milk bottle looked at Ning Yi's gaze and saw the thousand-faced god of war.
The two are from the same family, but they hate each other, and they have been fighting happily since they were young.
Oh, and it should be said that the God of War with a Thousand Faces is very happy, because he is always the victor.
As for the thousand-faced bottle, he can only say that he is also sad.
For children, there is no harm if there is no comparison, since elementary school, Shen Shichao has been talked about by his parents about Shen Zhan, "someone else's child".
Especially Shen Zhan, who is also surnamed Shen, the two belong to the same family, and the contradictions and conflicts brought about by this are even more intense.
As for Shen Zhan, he also didn't like Shen Shichao, an incompetent cousin.
As for the reason, it is naturally because Shen Xingyang is a family member of the Shen family, and Shen Shichao was born with great wealth.
And his Shen Zhan's father is just an insignificant minority shareholder in the Shen Group.
Envy and jealousy, in constant conflict, turn into hatred and hostility.
In all big families, this kind of thing is always unavoidable, fighting for family property, and brothers can still draw swords against each other, let alone cousins?
"Ignore him, just a boring man."
Thousand Faces said that he didn't want to disturb his interest because of this kind of thing.
"It's really boring ......"
Ning Yi echoed softly, but in his heart, he was thinking about why the God of War with a Thousand Faces would do such a thing.
Is this a provocation?
Ning Yi didn't feel like it, the other party's actions were a bit like villains.
Can the God of War of a Thousand Faces be in a situation at this time, is there anything he can be proud of?
No!
If something is abnormal, it is a demon, and behind all kinds of unreasonable appearances, there must be deeper reasons.
In this world, there is no such thing as love and hate for no reason.
"Could it have anything to do with this alliance?"
Ning Yi fell into deep thought.
"Brother Master, what are you thinking?"
Seeing that Ning Yi didn't speak, Shen Shichao asked curiously.
Ning Yi didn't answer directly, but asked him what he thought: "What do you think of this alliance?" ”
Shen Shichao pondered for a while before expressing his opinion: "I think it occupies a lot of resources, and players want to rise, and I am afraid that it will not work if they don't overthrow this mountain." ”
From the player's point of view, this move is almost imperative, and it is only a matter of time or time.
Then he expressed his concerns: "The only question now is how we can deal with the aftermath, I think that since the world dares to put forward the slogan of alliance and resistance, it must have some information to win." ”
Few of the players who were able to come here were hopelessly stupid.
The power of NPCs is very huge, and overall, crushing players is like playing.
In order to fight against the lord of a city, it is necessary to have three major guilds and tens of thousands of players join forces. After defeating the castle lord, the player will inevitably face the imperial army that has come to suppress the rebellion.
Against an NPC force of this level in the Empire, the current players have absolutely no chance of winning.
This is something that everyone knows all too well.
The reason why I know and come to participate is just to hear what the world can say first.
If you can't do anything, it's a big deal that we can go home, and NPCs can still bite me because of this?
"Welcome ......"
Outwitting the world stood in the center of the venue, and the loud voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every player present with the blessing of the raising note.
"Everyone's time is precious, so I won't talk nonsense."
Outwitting the world and speaking directly about the topic that players are most concerned about: "In my hands, I have the evidence of the city lord Wu Qingyun's crimes!" ”
Wu Qingyun is the city lord of Yunlan City, a meritorious nobleman recognized by the Dongyu Empire, Viscount Yunlan!
Such a high-ranking NPC in the Phantom World, outwitting the world, actually has the handle that can bring him down?
Some players were shocked on their faces, and many more were in disbelief or confusion.
But soon everyone understood, outwitted the world and took out a letter signed by Wu Qingyun.
Kuroran Secret Letter (Unknown Quality)
Category: Mission items
It records that Wu Qingyun, the lord of Yunlan City, secretly instructed the black wolf thieves to attack the imperial grain transportation team, which is enough to sentence him to the death penalty of rebellion.
Notes: Evidence of collusion between the Yunlan City Lord and the Black Wolf Thieves.
This is a system-approved quest item, which means it's real!
Rumble~
The venue immediately became lively, and the players were excited, since the city lord himself was illegal, wouldn't it be natural for the players to overthrow him?
It doesn't get much more exciting than this!
With this item, the player has an additional legal credential when he moves.
Compared to handing over the evidence to the Imperial authorities in exchange for insignificant feats and task rewards, it is clear that outwitting the world is the most correct.
"We, the players of the Empire, accidentally got this letter during a mission, and now I plan to contribute it to the benefit of all our Phantom players."
At this time, outwitting the world, enjoying the attention of all people, and reaping everyone's appreciation and compliments.
Of course, this is not because of the beautiful words he just said, but because there are real interests in this choice.
Yunlan City is a big piece of cake, rather than letting the empire change an NPC to be the city lord, it is better for the player to create the established facts first, and then force the empire to make concessions.
Because in the setting of the illusory world, the Dongyu Empire is a human kingdom where the county system and the sub-feudal system coexist, and Yunlan City is not a direct territory of the empire, but a fief of Viscount Yunlan.
According to the laws of the Empire, whoever exterminated the nobles who intended to rebel was eligible to inherit his title and fief.
After all, many of the players are lawyers in real life, and translating the legal texts of the empire is just a pediatric for them.
With a huge Yunlan City, a prosperous commercial trade, and a thriving workshop industry, all players are coveting this fat cake.
Everyone was cheering and eager to get involved.
Only a few people, still calm and suspicious.
And among them, there is Ning Yi.
He was not dizzy because of the immediate interests, his eyes were still clear, and he pinched his chin and thought about it: "Title, fief, power and wealth, is this what you want?" ”
If you only consider the character of outwitting the world, these things are also in line with everyone's perception of him.
But the move of outwitting the world to invite him to join the alliance made Ning Yi suspicious.
And in the venue just now, when he connected with the hidden triumph of the God of War with a thousand faces, Ning Yi felt that this matter was probably not so simple.
The outwitting of the world, as well as the thousand-faced god of war of the Thousand-Faced Family, they may have other ideas in their hearts.
After that, it was basically to outwit the world and take the lead, formulate the rules of the alliance, and have a specific battle plan.
After all, tens of thousands of players want to participate in the war, tactical arrangement, task arrangement, all kinds of things, not young and old.
This kind of thing is not suitable to talk about in the hall, so the location of the meeting has been moved to the side hall, and the people who are qualified to participate are the presidents and vice presidents of the major guilds.
“…… Below, is the person in charge of attacking the City Lord's Mansion. ”
At this time, the eyes of the world were outwitted and turned to Ning Yi: "The leader of the Immortal Trace Guild, Absolute Sword Cangchen, I hope you can act with the elite troops of our three major guilds and raid the City Lord's Mansion." ”
The words are sincere and the attitude is correct, if you are not familiar with his personality, you really think that this thing has changed his character.
"Huh? Am I the only one? ”
