Li Huailin's act was very effective this time. It could be said that it was extraordinarily effective. This was because he had once again become the Huaxia Region's forum forum's mad devil. It wasn't just a matter of pinned posts. At a glance, the entire first page of the forum was filled with posts related to Li Huailin. Moreover, the number of replies was abnormally shocking.
The reason why Li Huailin's act was because not only did it achieve the effect that Li Huailin wanted, it also achieved the effect that he didn't expect. That's right, Li Huailin's act had many effects that even he didn't expect.
First was the pinned post. The committee of the Hua Xia region's National Professional Gaming Tournament released three announcements. The first one was an explanation of yesterday's match. The general content was like this. First, they apologized for the live broadcast accident that occurred during the match. Then, they discussed the results of yesterday's match. In the end, Shangming International admitted defeat, and Huaxing Corporation won. Of course, this was also something that had been researched. Shangming International was also very smart. Basically, everyone knew what the outcome would be if they continued to fight. Of course, Shangming International could have applied for a rematch, after all, the match wasn't over yet. However, they also knew that they had stolen a chicken. Next time, the opponent would be prepared, and they might lose even more miserably. It would be better for them to end the match 3-2, and at least they could get two small points. If the rematch ended with a 3-0, they would want to cry but have no tears.
Next was the announcement of yesterday's accident. Yesterday, Li Huailin's shot directly caused 1,033 spectators in the west stand to be blown away. Among them, 788 died, and the rest were very lucky. After being blown away, they landed on the ground and didn't die. There were even some who were buried alive. However, since being buried alive in the game could be returned with a Return Scroll, they were fine. However, the total number of spectators who died was far more than that. After the spectators got too excited, they clashed with the NPC soldiers that appeared in the arena. Then, for some reason, a fight broke out. In the end, more than 500 spectators were hacked to death by the NPC soldiers. Not only did they die, but their Favorability with the NPC soldiers and the main city also dropped. They simply didn't know how to cry.
The committee's decision was to compensate the 788 spectators that were killed by Li Huailin. In other words, a portion of the ticket money would be refunded. It wasn't much, but it was just a token of goodwill. As for the other spectators that died from fighting with the NPCs, they wouldn't care at all.
The above two announcements were expected by Li Huailin and everyone else. In fact, the committee's decision was also within everyone's expectations. However, the problem was the third announcement … The Hua Xia Region's Professional League was actually suspended.
Yes, the competition was really suspended. This season's competition had just begun, and there were competitions almost every day for the past few days. Originally, there should have been a competition today, but the committee announced that the competition would be suspended and delayed. This surprised everyone. In the end, when they looked at the official explanation, it was still related to Li Huailin's shot.
Li Huailin's previous attack had destroyed a large portion of the spectator stands on the west side of the Arena. Of course, this wasn't a problem. After all, although the Arena had been destroyed, it would repair itself in a day. However, this wasn't the problem. Rather, the NPCs had announced that they would no longer allow adventurers, or players, to hold competitions in the Arenas of Human Main Cities.
This was a problem that the committee hadn't expected. Of course, they immediately communicated with the game company, Tianyu Corporation. However, they received a reply from Tianyu Corporation. They hoped that they could change the venue of the competition to the Dwarven City's arena. This was a big deal. Although the Dwarven City also had an arena, everyone was used to watching competitions in human cities. It would be troublesome for them to change their habits. The most troublesome thing was that although the Dwarven City had an arena, it was still a new place. There were many things that needed to be familiarized with. This caused a lot of trouble for the broadcaster and the organizers, and they weren't very willing to change it.
In the end, it seemed that the committee and the broadcaster had reached a compromise. In the end, they planned to hold the competition in the Dwarven City's arena. Of course, this also required some time to prepare. Hence, the competition was suspended. The specific recovery time was not yet determined, but it was foreseeable that the competition's schedule would be tight because of this arrangement. After all, it was certain that the finals would be held.
Therefore, Li Huailin's shot directly moved the competition to the Dwarven City. Of course, it was even more legendary. Logically speaking, this change should be beneficial to a certain group of people. Of course, this group of people was the Dwarven City's merchants. Like human cities, the Dwarven Main City also had its own Business District and Shops. Of course, players had long since monopolized these Shops, and they were still open for business. However, the Dwarven Main City's player traffic couldn't compare to human cities, which put the Dwarven Main City's Shops in a difficult position. Now that the Dwarven Main City's professional competition venue had changed, the Dwarven Main City's player traffic should increase. The Dwarven Main City's Shops should be very happy.
Unfortunately, the reality was completely different. The merchants were panicking, and the reason for this was another situation that Li Huailin hadn't expected. At the bottom of the sticky post was the situation of this matter.
Just as everyone had seen, Li Huailin's cannon had not only destroyed the arena's audience seats, but it had also pierced through the entire main city, all the way to the city walls. The city had also suffered heavy losses. According to the players' statistics, 103 buildings had been destroyed in the main city, and countless buildings had been damaged, but the figures had not yet been calculated. Over a hundred NPCs had been accidentally killed, while the players … were completely fine.
To explain, Li Huailin's attack had killed over 700 players inside the arena. However, because the city itself was a safe zone, attacks from players outside of the arena were ineffective. So, even though Li Huailin's attack had pierced through the arena, it had been ineffective against the players outside of the arena. Therefore, although the players outside of the arena hadn't died, the NPCs were all dead.
Of course, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that Li Huailin's attack had passed through an important location, and that was the player shops.
That's right, Li Huailin's attack had passed through one of the player shops. Among the buildings that had been destroyed, there were four player shops. Unfortunately, all four shops had been destroyed. This was also the reason why the shop owners in the Dwarven City were so worried.
Before this, no one had expected that the shops in the main city could actually be destroyed. So, no one had prepared for this. As a result, the damage caused by this attack was astonishing. Not only were the four shops destroyed, but the items stored inside were also buried. For the time being, they couldn't be dug out.
Among the four shops, two were owned by professional Merchants, while the other two were owned by guilds. Among the four Merchant shops, two were 5-star shops. Fortunately, they weren't completely destroyed, only partially damaged. As long as they paid some materials and Coins, they could still be repaired. However, this was still a huge loss. The ones who suffered the most were the two Guild shops. One was a Level 4 shop, while the other was a Level 5 shop. Because they had hit the target, they were directly blasted into ruins. There was no way to repair them. They could only rebuild them, and the rebuilding had to start from the shop … In other words, all the work they had done before this was basically for nothing. This was a loss that couldn't be described with words.
What was even more unfortunate was that these two shops belonged to the same guild, and that guild was … Spirit World. That's right, the shop that Li Huailin had attacked just so happened to be Spirit World's shop. As mentioned before, when Spirit World and Rebirth were still split, Spirit World had opened a shop directly across from Rebirth's Level 5 shop. They had planned to compete with Rebirth for business. However, later on, Spirit World and Rebirth merged. Naturally, these two shops belonged to the new Spirit World. Two shops opened on the same street, opposite each other, and also belonging to the same guild. This situation was truly rare. However, it was such a coincidence. What was even more coincidental was that Li Huailin's cannon directly passed through the two shops facing each other. Following which, both shops were flattened.
This time, Spirit World immediately exploded. Although it could be said that because everyone had opened their own shops, they didn't earn as much money. After all, they were still one of the important sources of income for Spirit World. Without the shops, where could they sell the finished products produced from the raw materials section? Could it be that the auction house would still be earning money for the system? This wasn't just the loss of a Level 5 shop and a Level 4 shop. Before the shops were repaired, Spirit World's losses were simply incalculable.
The more troublesome problem was that this attack was caused by Li Huailin. Because of the attack on the opponent's guild shop, the Red Army of Women that Li Huailin was in and Spirit World Guild automatically started a guild war. Because Li Huailin destroyed the opponent's guild shop, about 60,000 gold coins stored in the Spirit World Guild's shop were directly transferred to the guild warehouse of the Red Army of Women as spoils of war.
Meanwhile, the Red Army of Women and Spirit World Guild were still at war. This was because they didn't know how to deal with this problem. Meanwhile, the leader of the Red Army of Women, Red Moon, was not online at this time, so she still didn't know about this matter. And even Li Huailin himself didn't know. Although there were system notifications, there were too many of them. Li Huailin couldn't read them at all, so he didn't pay attention to this matter at all. At this time, everyone was waiting for the Spirit World's reaction to see how the Spirit World was going to deal with this matter.
