Black Index Finger could endure mockery, taunts, and disdain. He was also mentally prepared for this. He knew that the person he was about to face was also very good at psychological attacks. However, he was helpless to extort four million gold. This was something he couldn't do. Since he couldn't do it, there was no point in enduring. If he died, then so be it! After Black Index Finger tore off the paper, he turned to look at Thousand Miles Drunk.
Gu Fei didn't move. He felt that since the young master of the Han family agreed to sit with the Black Index Finger, there must be a reason for him to do so. There was no reason for the young master of the Han family to shamelessly provoke the Black Index Finger. There was no benefit in doing so, and it didn't seem like the style of the young master of the Han family.
Seeing Black Index Finger tear off the paper, Master Han wasn't angry. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
Black Index Finger's face was expressionless. He didn't answer Master Han. He was already calculating in his heart. If he attacked first, he might have a chance to get some results before Thousand Miles Drunk killed him. Right now, they were in a small room. If he used Whirlwind Slash …
Just as Black Index Finger was deep in thought, Young Master Han spoke up once more, "Guild Leader Black Hand, are you only here to represent your guild? Your guild isn't the only one who made a mistake this time! "
Black Index Finger froze. He immediately started thinking again. He heard Gu Fei remind Master Han, "He's called Black Index Finger. What's Black Hand?"
"Oh? Is that so? Just call him whatever you want. People will understand. "Master Han said.
The Black Index Finger didn't even bother to be angry at Young Master Han for giving him a random name. He finally knew Young Master Han's purpose. No guild could afford 4,000,000 gold, yet Black Index Finger had assumed that Black Index Finger was deliberately looking for trouble. Now, however, he realized that Black Index Finger really wanted to collect the money. Moreover, Black Index Finger's target wasn't just him, but all the guilds they were working with this time …
The total number of participating guilds had been roughly calculated. There were more than 20,000 players, and if they were to split 4,000,000 gold, that would be 200 gold per person. With this calculation, the asking price of 4,000,000 gold became very realistic. 200 was an amount that most current players would have. Due to the changes to the currency rules, the trading market was deserted, and everyone was saving money instead of spending it. 200 wasn't an amount that would embarrass anyone. It was an amount that would make one's heart ache after spending it, but it wouldn't be too painful.
"The mistake was made by everyone. There's no reason for Black Guild Leader to take responsibility for it. Don't you think so?" Young Master Han said.
Black Index Finger was extremely touched. Back when Young Master Han was settling the scores, he had wanted to say that the Black Alliance wasn't the only one who had caused all of this! Why did they have to bear it all?
"The current situation is as clear as day. If we continue to fight, we'll just be losing more and more people. Now that everyone has PK Points, a random piece of equipment will be worth more than 200 Gold Coins, right?" Young Master Han began to calculate for Black Index Finger.
Black Index Finger didn't reply. He was thinking. If they were to split the losses evenly, money wasn't a problem. The problem was whether everyone was willing to accept it. This matter was actually quite humiliating. There were so many players, and there were definitely some with some guts. If there were a bunch of people who would rather die than comply, then this matter would definitely fall apart.
"Black Guild Leader, I believe you need time to think about it, but it's best if you do it quickly. Right now, there are people dropping levels and equipment every minute." Young Master Han said.
"But the situation in the main city isn't under your control, right?" Black Index Finger was confused. From what he could see, the fuse of this situation was that guy from Against the Current. He appeared at the worst place at the worst time, and he even did something that he shouldn't have done, causing the situation to spiral out of control. Right now, almost every guild in the main city was involved in this battle. Black Index's 20,000 players were miniscule compared to this. Moreover, they were working together with Unsworn Sword and the others to suppress Counter Current's forces. They had the upper hand.
"The current situation? That's a battle between your guilds, it has nothing to do with us. Our target has always been clear. Don't you know that? "Young Master Han said.
Black Index Finger froze when he heard this. Indeed, the division of power in the main city was quite blurry. Everyone was looking for guilds that they didn't normally deal with as their opponents. Many guilds were just sitting there and getting shot at. They would defend themselves and then look for other guilds that were lying on the ground and start shooting at other guilds. They weren't like A Thousand Miles Drunk and the others. They had a clear goal, and their killing power wasn't on the same level.
"Alright, I'll think about it." Black Index Finger said that he would think about it, which meant that he agreed with it. Actually, he wanted to contact the other guild leaders to find out the truth.
"I'll be waiting for your good news." Young Master Han smiled.
"This compensation … Is there any room for negotiation?" Black Index Finger held onto his last ray of hope.
Young Master Han slowly shook his head. Black Index Finger sighed. He waved goodbye to the three of them and left.
"Do you think this will work?" Drifting asked after Black Index Finger left.
"Whether it works or not, the benefits outweigh the costs." Young Master Han said.
"Oh?"
"If it works, then we'll just take the money. If it doesn't work, then the guilds will have different opinions or different voices in the same guild. Once there's a disagreement, of course, some people will choose to leave. Compared to this guy who said that he won't kill us if we quit, it'll be faster if we threaten them one by one," Young Master Han said.
"So, it's more beneficial for them to accept the terms," Drifting said.
"From the guild's perspective, it's true. At least, it can protect the guild. So, the guild leaders will probably agree. It depends on how they convince the players in their guilds. The only obstacle is … "Young Master Han suddenly stopped.
"It's this guy who said that he won't kill us if we quit, right?" Drifting looked at Gu Fei.
Young Master Han nodded. "This gives them a way out …"
"But it's a loss to quit the guild. Now, it's only 200 gold coins. If it were me, I would definitely pay," Drifting said.
"But there are always people who don't have many guild points …" Young Master Han said.
"That's true." Drifting nodded and turned to Gu Fei. "Why don't you go out and kill a few more? Tell them that we won't kill them if we quit? I have a name list here! " It was obvious that Drifting coveted the four million gold coins. He worked very hard and even took up the task of compiling a name list, which he hated.
"I'm going to Moonlit Night City to clean up my PK." Gu Fei stood up.
"Oh? After cleaning up your PK, you're going to change your slogan to kill people? "Drifting's eyes flashed. Gu Fei's gaze was cold.
"If you can't do it, why don't you lend me your equipment? I'll do it." Drifting's equipment was standard mage equipment. If he were to equip Gu Fei's Night Spirit Robe and Night Flowing Light Sword, he would only be able to insta-kill his opponent. Speed wasn't important, he could definitely kill his opponent with a single spell.
But with a flash of white light, Gu Fei had teleported away.
The two of them were helpless. Gu Fei obviously didn't want to do this. Compared to them, Gu Fei was much more principled.
The conflict in Cloud Cloud City had been resolved peacefully. Gu Fei didn't have much use here, so he flew to Moonlit Night City to do his quest. This made the surveillance team nervous. Moonlit City wasn't very peaceful right now, and there were many players with PK Points. If this guy went all out, wouldn't he be able to fill up the entire dungeon in no time?
"What's going on with the program? It's been so long, and they still haven't solved it?" The leader couldn't hold it in anymore. They sent a GM to ask Gu Fei to cooperate again without a quest? The game company wanted face too!
A subordinate immediately called them, and the answer was that they still needed some time. Everyone looked at the leader, and the leader helplessly looked at the ceiling. "Let him do it first. We'll talk about it when he can't hold it anymore."
When Gu Fei arrived at Moonlit City, he didn't immediately start his quest. He knew that Cloudy Twilight and the others were making a big move. Moreover, this matter had more or less arisen because of him. He couldn't see the guild he was in when he started his quest. If he were to accept Cloudy Twilight's people and cause trouble for them, Gu Fei would feel bad. As a result, he contacted Yun Zhong Mu and asked him to provide him with a list of their enemies. He would do the quest himself.
When Yun Zhong Mu heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately gave Gu Fei a list of their experts. He wasn't polite at all.
"Give me as many as you have!" Gu Fei expressed that Yun Zhong Mu was being too polite. He only gave him ten names.
"How many PK points do you want to clear?" Yun Zhong Mu asked.
"Once I'm done, I'll do the quest for a while. Our side is almost done." Gu Fei said.
"Oh?" Yun Zhong Mu was shocked. Although the other side couldn't deal with Gu Fei, they were still an alliance of ten thousand players. How could they be dealt with by this guy alone?
"The situation is quite complicated. We're trying to resolve it peacefully." Gu Fei said.
"Right, right. It's best if we can stabilize the situation. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" Yun Zhong Mu said.
Gu Fei saw that this guy was worthy of being someone who could stand tall under Silvermoon's suppression. Just from this sentence, he could tell that this person was actually quite patient and had quite a bit of perseverance.
Gu Fei didn't say anything about Yun Zhong Mu's plan to settle accounts. He only accepted the quests that Yun Zhong Mu handed over. Seeing that their PK points weren't low, Gu Fei guessed that they were all experts. Gu Fei was naturally very happy. However, there was actually one quest that he couldn't accept. That was obviously because he didn't have any PK points. Gu Fei sent a message: "Old Yun, did you give me a Cleric? I'm here for a wanted quest, not to become an assassin. "
"Oh, I was too careless. I was too careless." Yun Zhong Mu flipped through the list he had just sent. Sure enough, one of them was a famous enemy Cleric. For a moment, he really had forgotten about this problem. He only sent over the list of people that he felt were difficult to deal with.
Moonlit City, a close neighbor of Cloud City, had suffered a lot from Thousand Miles Drunk. They were more or less numb to it. Moreover, the PK level here was higher, so they could better understand how terrifying Gu Fei's strength was. At this moment, Gu Fei came out and directly targeted the experts in the enemy's team. Soon, three of them had already entered the dungeon. There were also many people who tried to obstruct Gu Fei, but were killed by Gu Fei. The enemy already knew that Yun Zhong Mu was friends with the number one assassin in the game. However, Proud Emperor and Weeds thought that Gu Fei was busy with his own matters in Cloud City and had no reason to care about them. They didn't expect him to suddenly appear and specifically kill the experts. They weren't a match for the Ten Guilds Alliance in the first place, so their morale plummeted.
In Cloud City, after Black Index Finger left the tavern, he quickly contacted the guild leaders. After hesitating for a moment, Mudi Yun was called over as well. The powerful Mudcloud Guild was already a thing of the past. However, most of the people who hadn't left the guild were either sentimental towards the guild or they didn't want to give up their guild points. These people might be supporters of paying compensation and suing for peace. Right now, Black Index Finger needed support. He felt that House Han's insistence on 4 million was just to force him to do his best to make this happen. He wanted to see how many people would support him first. Perhaps the price could still be negotiated. 4 million … This was a random calculation. What 200 scrolls? What super elites? Black Index Finger wouldn't believe this nonsense even if his brain was damaged. Of course, he didn't dare to tell the others about this list. He wanted to pay some money to settle this matter. This shameless bill was completely useless in convincing the others.
Many guild leaders were currently fighting on the frontlines. Some were unlucky enough to be sent to the dungeon when Gu Fei messed up quests. Since he couldn't contact them, Black Index Finger tried to find their second-in-command who was currently outside. Hearing that Black Index Finger said it was very important and that it had to be discussed face to face, everyone gathered together.
When Black Index Finger saw this group of people, tears almost fell from his eyes. Just a day ago, most of the people present were guild leaders with some reputation in Cloud Cloud City. However, now, their faces were covered in sweat. The durability of their equipment had dropped after a long period of fighting. What was more tragic was their levels. Two-thirds of the people present had more or less dropped a level. For example, Black Index Finger and Mudi Yun Zhong had dropped below the 40 level mark. In short, it was tragic.
"What is everyone busy with now?" Black Index Finger asked.
Half of the people present were unhappy. They said that it was an emergency. Why did they have to say such nonsense? One of them said unhappily, "What do you think we're busy with?"
"Do you remember why we're gathered here?" Black Index Finger asked.
Everyone's face was filled with pain. Everyone was busy, and it seemed that what they were busy with had nothing to do with their original intention. They had already chosen to lose their memories. They knew that they had failed completely. No one would have thought that Against the Current would make the whole city even livelier than the city war. Every guild could barely take care of themselves. Even when they were at their peak, they would still vomit blood because of A Thousand Miles Drunk, let alone now.
Now, everyone was just worried that A Thousand Miles Drunk would jump out and give them a fatal blow. Everyone turned to look at Mudi in unison. He was the victim of a fatal blow. This ambush had basically crippled his guild.
"Now, we have a chance," Black Index Finger said slowly.
Everyone's face was numb. Was it going to deal with A Thousand Miles Drunk again? How many times had they said that they had such a chance today? Which time didn't they vomit blood? At this time, it was already a good thing that A Thousand Miles Drunk didn't come looking for them. Everyone looked at Black Index Finger and didn't want to listen anymore.
Black Index Finger carefully observed everyone's expression. Seeing this reaction, he was gratified. Everyone was desperate to deal with A Thousand Miles Drunk, so what he was going to say this time would make them happy. Seeing that someone was about to turn and leave, Black Index Finger hurriedly said, "It's a chance to reconcile with A Thousand Miles Drunk and Against the Heavens."
Hearing this, everyone became spirited. Their lifeless faces were filled with vigor that they hadn't seen for a long time. Some of them couldn't wait to ask, "What opportunity?" Some of them were even more quick-witted and had already thought of something. They opened their mouths and asked, "Did they state their conditions?"
Black Index Finger nodded.
"What conditions?"
"Money," Black Index Finger said the key.
"How much?"
The black index finger stretched out four fingers. He wanted to see the bottom line of this group of people's psychological endurance.
"Forty thousand?" A guild leader who had no foresight guessed.
"Forty thousand?" Before Black Index Finger could speak, Mudi snorted. "This is a blackmail against all of us. Forty thousand is just a beggar's number. Looking at our numbers, I think it should be four million, right? "
"Four million?" Several people cried out in shock. Black Index Finger slowly nodded. Just as someone was about to curse out loud, Yunzhong's Mudi was already calculating the price. "If we split it among ourselves, it'll be less than 200 gold per person. The other party calculated the number of people we have."
Everyone was silent. All the guild leaders had started to calculate.
"Right now, Cloud Cloud City is in a mess. We can still handle the situation, but A Thousand Miles Drunk and his people are staying out of it. We don't know where their people came from, but they're not from any guild in Cloud Cloud City. They won't be attacked. All they have to do is find a chance to deal us a fatal blow … Also, did you forget about that idiotic move against the current? He obviously chose to stand with Against the Heavens at that time. What about Unhindered? What about Rosy Clouds? Their firepower was drawn away by going against the current. If it wasn't for that stupid move, what do you think we'd be in right now? "
Everyone was silent.
"Our life and death are now in the hands of A Thousand Miles Drunk and his people …" Black Index Finger concluded.
"Everyone, think about it. We'll vote later," Black Index Finger said.
