"Hello, Miss Sasha."
Fangzheng greeted the woman. She was a rare adult female in the Dark Moon Sword. The reason why Sasha joined the Dark Moon Sword was very simple. Initially, she wanted to join the Clearers, but unfortunately, her strength wasn't enough to participate in the frontlines, so she became a member of the Production class.
After that, Sasha accidentally saw a helpless child wandering on the streets. She studied education in university. Although she hadn't graduated yet, her sense of responsibility as a teacher made her bring the child back.
After Fangzheng learned of this matter, he got Shaxia to be in charge of taking in the child players who had lost their guardians. After all, most of them were primary school and junior high school students. Without parents or relatives by their side, being thrown into the game alone was naturally a heavy blow to these children's minds.
That was why Fangzheng specially opened up an area for them to live in. However, he didn't intend to let them fight. They were mainly responsible for planting crops in the fields, while Sasha was responsible for teaching them. The Dark Moon Sword was responsible for their basic necessities. For now, it seemed that these children were living a good life.
"It's rare to see you. Don't you have any strategy quests recently?"
"We need to work together. It's impossible to kill all the BOSSes by ourselves. We need to cooperate with others."
Fangzheng wouldn't tell her that his group of subordinates rejected the strategy quests because they were afraid of Zergs. That was why he casually found a reason to gloss over this matter.
"How have you been recently? Is there any problem? "
"No problem, Mr. Fangzheng."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, a relaxed and happy smile suffused Sasha's face.
"We have collected a total of 35 children … and that's all the children in the game. Thank goodness, their mental states are still normal."
Sasha said and glanced at the children beside her.
"Alright, children, continue with your work. There are still 20 minutes left."
"Yes!"
Hearing Sasha's words, the children responded happily and returned to the fields to plant crops.
"Looks like they listen to you."
Fangzheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw the children return to use their planting skills. As for Shaxia, she shook her head.
"I'm still far from it. It's all thanks to Mr. Fangzheng and the Guild's willingness to help … Speaking of which, I'm a little ashamed. In the beginning, I clearly wanted to rely on my own strength to protect and educate these children. But in fact, I was changed by them … It's unbelievable …"
"As long as you treat them well, they will treat you well."
Looking at those lively children, Fangzheng couldn't help but think of the little girls in the Tendo Temple.
"Children are the flowers of the motherland. Come to think of it, there are also many little guys in the Clearers … who are not much older than them."
In Fangzheng's Clearers, excluding Fangzheng and the other two, the oldest was Greenleaf who looked the most like a child. She was already in her third year of high school and was about to graduate. Next was Iris, Gabelli, Mimi, Lingyin, and Qi Hai. The five of them were already in high school. As for Asuna, the black cat, Yukari, and Rifa, they were still in middle school.
"Come to think of it, Mr. Fangzheng, I've heard some bad rumors recently."
"Rumors?"
Hearing the seriousness in Sasha's voice, Fangzheng turned his head to look at her. Sasha nodded with a solemn expression.
"I also heard about it from other production players. Recently, there seems to be a group of robbers and attacks targeting players. After leaving the Town of Beginnings and heading to the leveling area or leaving the safe zone of the teleportation crystal, players will be surrounded by fully armed players. They will demand for money, equipment, and tools, or else they will be killed. There are even female players who were humiliated … "
"Is that true?"
Hearing until here, Fangzheng's expression sank slightly.
"Why don't we know about it?"
"Because those players won't go to the higher floors. They seem to be wandering around the first, second, and third floors and won't touch the areas where the Clearers are. I also heard about this when I met a production class player that I know."
Shaxia's expression became a little uneasy.
"That's because our production players and the children have been harvesting on these floors, so …"
"I understand."
Before Shaxia finished her sentence, Fangzheng waved his hand and interrupted her.
"I will look into it. Don't tell anyone about this for the time being."
"… Okay."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Shaxia nodded, bowed respectfully, and left. Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and began to ponder.
Fangzheng had expected this to happen, but Fangzheng didn't expect that PK players would appear so soon … These guys are obviously the cancer of the game and I can't let them do whatever they want anymore.
At this thought, Fangzheng quickly opened the contact book and found Black Snow to ask her about the PK players.
"We have indeed heard about these behaviors."
Sure enough, Black Snow gave Fangzheng more detailed information.
"I heard that they have formed a guild called 'Smiling Coffin' that specializes in robbing and attacking other players …"
"Don't you intend to do anything about it?"
"This … Although we have thought of stopping them, we are only a player's guild, after all. Besides, if we want to stop the Smiling Coffin, it means that we have to fight them and even …"
Black Snow didn't finish her sentence, but Fangzheng understood what she meant. PK in the game wasn't just about PK. If one were to fight the Smiling Coffin, one could possibly die. No matter if one were to kill or be killed, it wasn't something that ordinary players should be happy about.
"… Besides, the Smiling Coffin won't attack our guild. Their targets are only solo players and ordinary players, so we don't have the right to intervene."
Black Snow's thought process was typical of Japanese people. As the saying went, one shouldn't meddle in politics if one wasn't in one's position. It was only natural that Black Snow wasn't willing to intervene, especially when it concerned the people.
However, this wasn't the case for Fangzheng. They worked hard in the frontlines in order to create a good environment for the backlines. But if a group of stray dogs were to ruin their hard work, Fangzheng couldn't accept it.
After all, the players in the guild were ordinary people, so it was only normal for them to have doubts and even resist killing people.
But even if they couldn't do it, it didn't mean that Fangzheng couldn't do it.
In fact, in Fangzheng's opinion, these malignant players weren't humans at all.
They were only walking …
