Eopher needed time to recover, and Byakee was nowhere to be found. Coincidentally, it was already past 12 o 'clock. It was a little late, so Li Huailin decided to go offline and rest for a while. Before logging off, Li Huailin had to ask Jade Emperor about the situation.
The worst case scenario was that Jade Emperor and the others were still with Byakee. If that happened, he would have to fly away with Byakee. After all, Jade Emperor and the others were players, so it wasn't a big problem. First of all, they had the aura and could return to the city with a Return Scroll. However, the problem was that there were two NPCs following them.
Out of the two NPCs, Midland was basically useless. Byakee had probably found out that he was on Li Huailin's side. Once Byakee took back his mana, Midland would be no different from an ordinary person. Li Huailin didn't really care whether he died or not. However, Li Huailin felt that the other Lagarde was still of some use. After all, he was the creator of the dreamscape fragments. He was a true technician, and he was also the user of the Dreamscape Godsword. Even though the dreamscape ignored him, he might still be of some use. Li Huailin wanted to keep him around.
Of course, the two of them weren't in any danger yet. Even if they followed Byakee to the Elemental Plane, they would be fine with Jade Emperor around. However, it would be troublesome to bring them out.
After contacting Jade Emperor, Li Huailin received a piece of good news. They didn't follow Byakee into the Elemental Plane. Although it was a little troublesome to enter, it was much easier to get out. Midland used a spell to send them out. Byakee didn't seem to have the time to care about Midland's betrayal. Most likely, Midland was focused on the Dream Fragments. Midland could still use Byakee's spells. Now that they were outside the Elemental Plane, they were, of course, very safe.
Since there were no problems, Li Huailin told them about the current situation. Since the things that needed to be done were done, he let them go back to rest. Midland and Lagarde told them to return to the base in the Hua Xia district and look for them if they needed anything.
After settling these matters, Li Huailin went offline. Because it was a little late, Li Huailin was too lazy to look at the forum. Although he knew that the forum would be very lively now, and he was ready to watch a show, these were, after all, entertainment items to adjust the mood. There was no need to sacrifice sleep time for them.
After washing up, Li Huailin went to bed. The next day, Li Huailin woke up early in the morning. Since he still had to deal with Byakee's problem, he had to go online early.
During breakfast, Li Huailin browsed through the forums. Just as Li Huailin expected, most players assumed that Li Huailin had defeated Byakee. Therefore, the situation was leaning towards Li Huailin's favor.
That's right. Ever since the news of Byakee's disappearance spread, the players who were paying attention to it were shocked. Just like what Li Huailin had predicted, he dealt with the American server in a day and also dealt with Byakee on the same day. It didn't seem like he had spent much effort to accomplish these two tasks.
Before seeing the results, almost none of the players had expected Li Huailin to be capable of such a feat. Most of them did not even consider what would happen if Li Huailin really did it because, in their opinion, it was impossible. But now, the truth was right before their eyes, and they were caught off guard.
Of course, the current situation was completely different from before. First of all, the players who doubted Li Huailin had disappeared. Instead, a large group of players began to clamor that they believed in Li Huailin from the very beginning. Previously, there were indeed die-hard fans of Li Huailin who said that they believed in Li Huailin. However, there weren't that many of them. Now that they had sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, it was obvious that some of them had switched sides. Most of these players were from the Hua Xia region. Now, the players from the Hua Xia region were on Li Huailin's side.
On the other hand, apart from a small portion of the foreign players who truly admired Li Huailin, most of them chose to run away. That's right, the number of foreign players who had ridiculed Li Huailin yesterday had decreased by a lot. They had been slapped in the face with the truth, and they had no way to retaliate. They could only quietly disappear.
The remaining players chose to continue to criticize Li Huailin, mainly the players from the American region. Of course, the players from the American region were the ones who suffered the most. Their interests had been substantially harmed. Why did they have to pay double the price for the items they bought? Why did they have to pay several times more in business taxes? This was blatant exploitation.
However, even those who were still criticizing Li Huailin had softened their tone. At most, they used the excuse that they were also fighting against Byakee. To the Hua Xia region, they should be allies. They used this as an excuse to criticize Li Huailin. However, their voices were too weak compared to the people who ridiculed them.
That's right. Although their accusations were somewhat reasonable, now that Li Huailin had taken care of Byakee, they were powerless. The Hua Xia region and the American region had always had a grudge against each other. Previously, a group of players from the American region wanted to attack Hua Xia's territory. Although Li Huailin said that he was "grateful to our international friends for their help", everyone knew that the American region had failed in their attempt to trick them. Since the Hua Xia region had proven that they could easily take care of the big boss Byakee, would it be a problem for them to take revenge? There did not seem to be any problem at all.
Such a counterattack left the players from the American region speechless. However, they could not accept Li Huailin's policies. Even so, it did not seem to be of any use. Even if they won against the players from the Hua Xia region, it would not change the current situation. After all, Li Huailin was the one who had punished them. Moreover, they could not win against the players from the Hua Xia region. What else could they do?
The American people were furious. The consequences would be severe. How severe would it be? Now, Li Huailin had received the "final warning" from the angry American people.
That's right. After a night of research, the American players issued a final warning to Li Huailin. This post had been forwarded to the Hua Xia region forum. Li Huailin had also seen it. The content of the warning was, of course, for Li Huailin to immediately remove all the unfair policies in the American region within 24 hours. Since it was a warning, it must have something to rely on. Otherwise, who would listen to you? What was the reason behind the players' actions? It was the intervention of the American government.
Yes, you heard it right. These guys said that if Li Huailin did not revoke these policies, they would jointly sue the American government. This felt like a situation where a primary school student went home to sue his parents after losing a fight. It sounded really funny, but would it work? It really did work.
Although these were things that happened in the game, the American virtual currency protection act had been implemented for many years. Of course, this act was not applicable to everyone. If you were killed in the game and lost your equipment, could you sue them the next day? Of course not. But the United States was a "democratic" country. The problem now was not the interests of one person being harmed, but all the players in the American region. If these people united, no matter how strange the reason was, did you think the American government would ignore it?
In fact, what they meant now was that regardless of whether they were reasonable or not, they wanted Li Huailin to revoke the policies. Otherwise, they would ask their government to sanction Li Huailin. To put it simply, they were shameless.
It was obvious that there was more than one person who saw through the other party's thoughts. As soon as the post was published, it was scolded badly. However, at this time, the American players were too lazy to scold them. They were going to be shameless. Anyway, Li Huailin could only listen to them and revoke the policies. Otherwise, they would ask the government to punish Li Huailin.
Although the players were scolding the Americans, they were still worried about Li Huailin. Hence, they forwarded the post to Li Huailin. A group of people also gave Li Huailin ideas. After all, the current problem was much more troublesome than the East Asia region. If they really fought back, they might have to face the American government.
"Heh, these people are really used to being big shots. Everyone has to spoil them, right?" Li Huailin smiled when he saw this post. The American government, right? Li Huailin really wanted to see what the American government's attitude toward him was now. Although the American government had been very cooperative during the previous investigation, and it seemed like they had no malicious intentions toward him, Li Huailin knew that this group of people had been thinking of ways to deal with him. Now that it happened to be the eve of his wedding, Li Huailin also wanted to test the other party.
After thinking about it, Li Huailin logged into his Weibo account again and directly reposted the previous post. Then, he left a comment below, "If you can't win, go home and complain to your parents, right? Go ahead and complain. There's no need to wait 24 hours. I'll tell you now that this policy will not be revoked. From now on, all additional fees will be doubled. This is to commend your resistance. If you have any objections, go to your government. I'll be waiting."
No one expected Li Huailin's tough response. The players who saw the Weibo post praised Li Huailin for being domineering. However, some people were worried that Li Huailin would really get into trouble. On the other hand, Li Huailin quickly logged into the game after replying to the Weibo post.
