Chapter 275: Deadline
Shen Xixi also chose Western cultural history, but she didn't come to class, in fact, she didn't show up at school all day, but now many people have become accustomed to this, boys talk about this former flower, their faces will show a touch of regret, while girls are mostly disdainful.
Even among the three people in their dormitory, there are already two people who have drawn a clear line with Shen Xixi, leaving Wei Jiangyang's girlfriend Han Xiaoxiao still entangled, she and Shen Xixi usually have a recent relationship, and they have also euphemistically persuaded Shen Xixi, in her opinion, the latter's family background is already very good, although she is not a rich and noble president's daughter, but compared to the vast majority of working-class girls, even if she doesn't do anything in the future, at least she doesn't worry about food and clothing.
It stands to reason that she has no reason to choose this path, not to mention that she herself is not a person who is greedy for vanity.
However, neither the people in the school who cared about Shen Hee-hee nor those who gloated about the disaster obviously did not know the real situation she was facing now.
The temporary meeting of the consortium has been held for a day and a night, and in fact, the discussion has been completed in the first hour, but Shen Xixi, the founder of the consortium, has never nodded, which is why the consortium has not replied to the light arc until now.
The Arc of Light only gave them one day to make a decision in the ultimatum, that is, until 0:00 tonight, and if the Coalition did not hand over by then, the two sides would have to go to war.
This is an outcome that the consortium cannot afford.
It's not that the people in the conference room don't know that once the cooperation framework that the consortium has set up with great difficulty, it is likely to fall apart, and what is handed over today is someone else, and it may be themselves tomorrow, but even if you want to worry about tomorrow, at least you have to live through today.
The president of a medium-sized guild was still making his last efforts and persuaded, "I know that you are unwilling, we are not reconciled, making friends is a huge blow to the consortium, and it will affect your prestige, but everyone here knows the difficulties, and we can guarantee that this position will be yours in the future." ”
"Prestige? You misunderstood, I don't care who is the boss of the consortium, we are not a guild, and it doesn't matter who is the president. Shen Xixi shook his head and said, "But it's impossible to hand over people, if we hand over people, the arc will definitely kill them, and this matter will be completely confirmed." ”
"If we don't pay it, we won't be able to keep them." Someone immediately retorted, "Although we don't suffer in terms of numbers, but the strength of the players is too far from the top guild like the arc, their current membership standard is to spend at least five rounds of games, and the guild also has more than ten B-level props in their hands, the average player on our side is only three rounds, which is not the bottom line of others, and there are only four B-level props, and most of them are non-combat." ”
"The top guild is not the only one in the arc." Shen Xixi said, "If we bite it, the price we have to pay is too great, and the arc of light also needs to consider whether the balance between it and the Silver Wings and the player's house can still be maintained in the future." ”
"And how much will it cost us?" After all, the leader of a small guild still spoke the hearts of the vast majority of people.
The composition of the consortium is inherently complicated, with small and medium-sized guilds and teams of independent players, and there is no problem cooperating with each other in normal times, but when there is really danger, it is very difficult for these people who don't have much friendship to fight together.
Now that the words have been said here, the disguise has been completely torn apart, and the leader of the medium-sized guild who spoke before continued, "The original agreement between us was only to deal with those monsters in the city, and it did not include a war with a big guild like the Arc of Light. ”
Shen Xixi frowned and was about to say something, but the next moment the door of the conference room was slammed open.
Li Bai, who was still covered in blood, and the rabbit with a real stick in his mouth walked in from outside, and there were three people in front of them.
Li Bai snorted, "These bastards wanted to rob people directly, but we caught them." ”
The rabbit added later, "It's the people of the realm, and there are two injured unlucky ghosts who were directly sent to the hospital by Li Bai." ”
Shen Xixi set his eyes on a middle-aged man not far away who had not spoken much and looked polite, the latter was the president of the cordon, did not avoid her gaze, pushed down his glasses and generously admitted, "At this juncture, some things must be done by someone, since you are not willing to do it, then we can only do it." ”
"We haven't discussed the results yet." Shen Xixi said.
"I don't even know what's the point of going on." The middle-aged man said, "If you don't hand people out, then there is no need for the union to exist anymore." ”
"Is this a threat?" Shen Xixi's gaze swept over the people sitting in the conference room.
The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocating, but no one refuted it, apparently acquiescing.
"So, is this the righteousness that your hearts seek?" Shen Xixi's heart sank, but he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping to awaken the conscience in his master's heart through questioning.
However, after a while, the oldest old man here, codenamed Zephyr, who is also one of the representatives of independent players, spoke slowly.
"Politics has never been about justice."
…………
There are less than three hours left before the time limit on the arc ultimatum.
There is still not much movement on the consortium's side, but the player forum is becoming more and more lively, and the onlookers have posted to speculate on Shen Xixi's choice, and some people have opened a bet for this, judging from the handicap, the vast majority of people believe that Shen Xixi will make a handicap, it is just a matter of time.
A little longer would at least allow the consortium to show some resistance, which might also mitigate the adverse effects of the submission.
The mainstream public opinion on the forum has basically reached a consensus on this issue, and this is also a choice that any reasonable person should make.
After all, the arc of light didn't really intend to destroy the consortium, at best, it was just because the recent rapid rise of the consortium had made the three major guilds vigilant, wanting to take this opportunity to restrict the development of the latter.
It should be an acceptable outcome for both parties to reduce the internal cohesion of the consortium, so that the consortium can continue to maintain the current loose structure, and prevent Shen Xixi from integrating it into an emerging and powerful force.
However, at 11:12 p.m., the medium-sized guild boundary line issued an announcement on the forum, reviewing the good times in the past, reiterating respect for the consortium led by Shen Xixi, and also stating that the two sides chose to break up amicably because of differences in development concepts, and looked forward to various possibilities for the future.
As soon as this post was issued, the melon-eating party didn't have time to eat melons happily together, and soon a second post was issued, followed by a third and a fourth...... All from the Consortium's Guild of Players or Independent Player Groups, and those with a keen sense of smell have already sensed something.
Recently, the hottest new power consortium in the capital collapsed overnight without warning.
