It was very quiet. None of the guild leaders spoke. But communication was inevitable during this period. Some guild leaders were familiar with each other. Those who were familiar with each other were secretly communicating with each other through messages. Black Index Finger was the busiest at this moment. Many people messaged him for details, which made him angry again. He shouted, "What's the message? How many times have I said it? We're all in the same boat. What can't we discuss together?"
The guild leaders, who were still in the midst of sending messages, were startled, and their expressions became slightly awkward. However, they quickly regained their composure, and in the end, they exchanged glances with each other, and no one spoke again.
"If anyone has any other way to get rid of Thousand Miles Drunk, why don't we discuss it?" Black Index Finger said.
Everyone was silent. If they had a way to kill Thousand Miles Drunk, they wouldn't be in this situation.
Finally, a guild leader spoke. It was also the question that everyone was most concerned about. "How can we be sure that they will stop after receiving the money?"
Black Index Finger glanced at him. "If you have another way, then question this question."
Everyone was silent again. Black Index Finger obviously meant that they had no other choice.
But the guild leader who was rebuffed by Black Index Finger said unhappily, "If we can't trust him, at least we won't lose money. Why don't we care about this question?"
"This is our only chance. At least we have no doubt about Sword Ghost's character, right? "
"But Sword Ghost is in the dungeon now!"
"What kind of question is that? We can make the deal in the dungeon in front of Sword Ghost and get his promise. "Black Index Finger's brain had not been idle. He had already sorted out many questions. Whether they could be trusted or not was naturally something that he had to think about. He wouldn't forget such an important question.
"Fine … Let's take this gamble. How many people do we have in our guilds?"
"Won't we know if we calculate it?"
So, the guild leaders reported the number of people in their guilds. In total, there were twenty thousand people. But compared to the original lineup, thousands of people were gone. Black Index Finger only then noticed that some of the guilds he notified didn't even come. They had secretly left long ago, but they didn't know until now.
"There are twenty thousand people, but will all of them agree to this condition?" A guild leader was worried again.
"If they don't want to, we can only ask them to leave," Black Index Finger said.
All the presidents looked at each other.
"That way, we can at least protect the guild. If not …" Black Index Finger glanced at Cloud Mudi. He didn't know what to say, but Cloud Mudi took the initiative to continue the conversation. "If not, we'll end up like Muyun. Even if the brothers in the guild are still holding on, how can I let them continue to hold on? To be honest, before Black Guild Leader brought this news, I was already considering disbanding the guild and letting the brothers go their separate ways … "
Cloud Central's Mudi's words were undoubtedly the most convincing. His guild was currently in the worst situation and was already half-destroyed. Even if they could hold on for a little longer, who knew how far they would fall in Cloud Cloud City.
Ordinary players might not care about guilds, but as a guild leader, especially one who had created and brought the guild up, they had to put in a lot of effort. Protecting the guild, this was a huge temptation to them … This was also why when these guild leaders heard Black Index Finger's words, they only considered the feasibility of this matter. None of them showed any bravery at all … Their bravery had long been worn down by Gu Fei's repeated blows. At this moment, they only wanted to protect the things that were important to them.
"But … if the members are too unwilling and leave the guild, will the remaining people still be able to gather the huge sum of four million?" One of them said.
"I've been thinking about this question. I've noticed one thing. The asking price of four million sounds scary at first, but if you really consider the number of people in our guild, it's a very affordable price. That's why I believe that the other party has taken into consideration our ability to bear the price. They're not randomly giving us an amount that we can't afford to make things difficult for us. Since the other party can understand this, I think that when the number of people who support this matter drops, they might make some concessions based on the new number of people we have … "Black Index Finger said.
Black Index Finger found it hard to believe what he said. He had been suspecting whether the four million was really taken into consideration or just a prank. When he thought about the 200 + scrolls, 70 super elites, favors and transportation fees, Black Index Finger would rather believe the latter. However, he couldn't say these things at a time like this. He could see that all the guild leaders were tempted. Black Index Finger himself was eager to make this happen. He shuddered when he saw what had happened to the Sheepcloud Guild.
"Everyone, let's vote. No matter what, I'm in favor of this." Among all the guild leaders, Mudi was the one who was in the most despair. He was the one who needed a lifeline the most. Black Index Finger let out a long sigh. It was the right decision to call Mudi over. This despairing guy affected everyone's emotions and made them look at the problem from a pessimistic perspective. In the end, they had no choice but to agree to it.
As expected, under Mudi's lead, many guild leaders quickly raised their hands. Some of the players who were still hesitant slowly raised their hands after seeing that there were many people who raised their hands. Moreover, the players who raised their hands consciously stood to the side. In the end, it was no longer a vote by raising their hands, but a vote by the side. Two minutes later, only three guild leaders were still hesitating.
"What do the three of you mean? Do you still need to think about it, or have you already decided not to walk the same path as us? "Black Index Finger asked.
"We …" The three of them looked at each other but didn't say anything.
Although Mudi was in despair, his intelligence didn't drop. Looking at the three's sneaky expressions, he said, "You want us to be the touchstone, and after we find out that the conditions are feasible, you'll go and ask for compensation?"
The three were shocked to hear this. They quickly denied it, saying that they just wanted to think about it.
"One minute," Black Index Finger said, "I'll wait for another minute. If you don't want to participate, I'm sorry, but we'll have to say that you're not willing during the negotiation. Otherwise, are you going to blame it on us? "
Black Index Finger's words were equivalent to cutting off the three guilds' cunning thoughts. In less than a minute, the three finally stood on this side.
"Alright, then everyone can go and negotiate with your own guild members! If they're not willing, we'll have to explain to them the pros and cons. Let them understand that they'll lose their guild and have to fight alone, "Black Index Finger said.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. One of them said, "You mean, we need to give the list of players who are unwilling to pay and quit to Thousand Miles Drunk?"
Black Index Finger was expressionless, "Otherwise, how are we going to convince the other party to give us a discount with the number of people? Or are you willing to pay 300, 400, or even 600 each? "
The guild leaders were silent. The situation had been decided, but some people began to hesitate again.
Black Index Finger was a decisive guy. He hated the hesitant looks on their faces. He said coldly, "Everyone, our main goal now is to protect the guild, not a certain person in the guild. Everything should be for the benefit of the guild. If there's a guy who's not even willing to sacrifice himself, why should we protect him?"
Silence. This was the umpteenth time in this meeting that everyone fell into silence. After a while, someone finally spoke up, "I think, I'll first ask the guild brothers for their opinion before deciding whether or not to go this way!"
As soon as this was said, a group of people who were hesitating quickly nodded, saying that they wanted to do the same.
"Do whatever you want!" Black Index Finger was too lazy to say anymore. He had already decided that even if no one was willing to help him, he would take his remaining people and negotiate with the overpowered guys to pay for their protection. From the moment Black Index Finger had this idea, the alliance of the overpowered guilds completely collapsed. They were all on their own now.
Black Index Finger completely ignored the other guilds. He took a deep breath and sent a message in the guild channel, "Everyone, please stop what you're doing. I have something important to say …"
Everyone had their own reasons for negotiating with the guild members. Some said that the guild's interests were the most important, some said that they wanted to preserve the spark of revolution and take revenge in the future, and some said that they had no other choice but to live … Anyway, they all said it as tragic as possible. The Shepherd Cloud Guild was mentioned 100% in the process.
Admit defeat and pay for their losses.
No matter how extravagant the explanation was, that was the truth. What surprised the guild leaders was that the resistance they faced was much smaller than they had imagined. Most of the players in the guild let out sounds of relief when they heard this solution. It turned out that they had long since been exhausted … Countless people were already hesitating whether or not to leave the guild to avoid this storm. But now, as long as they spent 200 gold, they could get rid of this terrifying killer. Two hundred Gold. This was a very subtle number. Any player with the slightest bit of experience wouldn't feel the pinch over two hundred Gold. If not for the recent currency adjustment, which had temporarily blurred the value of money, most people wouldn't even bat an eye at two hundred Gold.
"Smooth, very smooth! All of our guilds agreed!!! "A guild leader was the first to get excited.
"Three of our guilds left!" This result was also very beautiful.
"Five of us!"
"Four of us …"
"Our players who don't have any money at the moment will support us even if we borrow money!"
In comparison, Black Alliance had the most people who left. They had 49 people. It couldn't be helped. Their guild had the largest population base! Moreover, big guilds had many experts. Experts always had more pride. Of the 49 people who left, 32 of them made Black Index Finger's heart ache. They were people who had taken a lot of effort to recruit! But now, Black Index Finger had written down the names of these 49 people. He would hand them over to Very Overpowered without hesitation. They wouldn't have a good ending.
The latest statistics from the guilds showed that there were more than 20,000 people. 4,000,000 gold wasn't much of a problem. Black Index Finger quickly sent a message to Young Master Han and made a request. He wanted to complete this transaction in the dungeon in front of Very Overpowered guild leader Sword Ghoul. Young Master Han happily agreed. He also informed Gu Fei and asked if he wanted to come and see this historical moment.
Young Master Han and the others arrived at the dungeon a little earlier. Black Index Finger and the others still needed to collect money. Moreover, the flames of war were raging in Cloud Cloud City. Although their 20,000 people were trying their best to avoid fighting, they would still be accidentally dragged into it. At this moment, the guild leaders had already given a death order. They were determined not to fight. They were determined to settle this Very Overpowered matter and then rest well.
In the dungeon, all the Very Overpowered players came online. Of course, this was also at Young Master Han's suggestion. He specially went offline to contact Brother You. As the people in the dungeon were preparing to go online at the same time, they left each other's offline contact information. Brother You was one of the contacts. At this moment, hundreds of people responded to his call and appeared in the dungeon.
Compared to the last time, some time had passed. Many people had left the dungeon. Gu Fei looked left and right at the empty dungeon. He really wanted to ask the GM if the lack of dungeon space had been resolved.
"Why did you call everyone here? Hurry, I'm about to go out! "Brother You asked anxiously.
"Yes, yes, yes. Hurry, we're about to go out." Many people had already used up their time. They were just waiting for the last minute to sit down before going out.
"Hurry up! If you don't say it, we won't be able to hear it!! "Someone saw that Young Master Han was still not in a hurry and shouted.
Young Master Han rolled his eyes at this group of people and carried out his best mockery. "If you go out, can't you walk back in through the main door?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. However, there was strength in numbers. Someone quickly thought of an excuse. "You have to pay!" The visitation fee was not cheap.
"Money? Hahahaha, what is money? " As Young Master Han laughed, Brother You and many others who had only been in the dungeon for a minute went out …
The group of people had no choice but to pay the visitation fee and quickly ran back. Seeing that Young Master Han was still standing there silently, they said together, "What's the matter? Hurry up and say it!"
"I'm done," Young Master Han said.
A bunch of people went crazy. Apart from Brother You, who was already used to this guy's viciousness and could still stand it, the others had the urge to immediately fight with Young Master Han.
Brother You looked at the others in the dungeon. All of them were beaming with joy. Young Master Han had obviously brought great news. However, when he looked at Sword Ghost, he didn't seem too happy. What was it that made everyone happy, but Sword Ghost didn't seem happy? Just as Brother You was thinking, Imperial Shenming was already shouting, "Brother You, we're rich!!!"
"Oh? What rich? "Brother You asked hurriedly.
"Four million, this guy extorted four million from those guys!!!" Imperial Shenming shouted.
"Four million? Ah … "Brother You quickly calculated. It was very unbelievable. More than fifty people divided it equally. Each person had more than eighty thousand, a huge sum! Really a huge sum! It was no wonder that Sword Ghost wasn't too happy. He obviously wasn't keen on extortion …
Just as everyone was excited, Black Index Finger and the others finally arrived at the dungeon. At this time, there were many of their subordinates in the dungeon. When those fellows said something about four million, they already felt that something was wrong. Now that they saw their president appear in the dungeon, they were all stunned.
The guild leaders were also sweating. They were so focused on negotiating with others that they actually forgot about these guys in the dungeon.
"I was wondering why the money wasn't right …" One of them said. Every guild had received less than the theoretical figure, so they didn't realize it at first. Now that they were in the dungeon, they realized that a bunch of people had been forgotten.
However, the various guilds had tried their best to make up for the difference. At this time, they had brought a full four million. These guys in the dungeon had saved money … However, doing a transaction in front of these guys that they didn't know about made all the guild leaders feel embarrassed, including Black Index Finger who had been very determined.
"Everyone, you're here!" Young Master Han was very enthusiastic. The players inside and outside the dungeon also showed great welcome. Everyone loved the Boy of Wealth the most.
Black Index Finger saw the situation and could only bite the bullet. Although he had brought all four million, he still had to try to bargain for the price. Black Index Finger walked forward with a troubled expression and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Han. Because some of the brothers in the guild are very conflicted, it's difficult for us to collect the money. Can you give us a discount?"
"Alright!" The young master of the Han Clan's reply surprised everyone. Before Black Index Finger could express his gratitude, the Very Defiant players were already shouting "No!" in protest. However, the ones who were more shrewd kept quiet and just stared at Young Master Han. They knew that Young Master Han's "sure" was a foreshadowing.
"As long as any of you can answer one of my questions correctly, I'll return all the compensation from his guild." Young Master Han was very arrogant. He didn't treat the money that he didn't get as his own.
Amidst the protests from the Very Defiant players, the guild leaders were overjoyed. They hurriedly nodded, "No problem. What's the question? " Black Index Finger was especially eager. He had the most people in his guild, so his share of the four million was naturally the most.
"This question is a little difficult. I'll allow you to answer it through messages. My friends list is open now. Next, please listen to the question. "Young Master Han announced. The guild leaders all nodded.
"Among these guys, who is the traitor?" Young Master Han pointed at the Very Defiant players in and out of the dungeon. At the same time, Gu Fei already held the Night Streak Sword in his hand.
