Although Hundred Flower Alliance's Flaming Butterfly Dance was eye-catching, it was quickly broken by the sound of horse hooves at the checkpoint of Ao Lai Valley. Almost everyone's attention shifted from Flaming Butterfly Dance to the person outside the gate. In the blink of an eye, before Yang Rui had time to deal with the Infatuated Flower Dancing Butterfly, he heard the people outside the city shouting.
"Brother Blazing Sun, Trace Dragon Soul is here to disturb you. Are you not going to open the gate? Hahaha! "
Trace Dragon Soul came at just the right time. Yang Rui was just thinking about how to deal with Flaming Butterfly Dance, but Trace Dragon Soul's arrival diverted everyone's attention. While Yang Rui got someone to open the door, he personally got up and went to the intersection to welcome the Tracing Dragon Soul.
"Brother Trace, please!"
Yang Rui said courteously as he led Trace Dragon Soul into the side room. At this time, all the players automatically opened up a path for Trace Dragon Soul, allowing him to sit in the innermost seat near Yang Rui.
"Brother Blazing Sun, you sure are busy. I've tried to talk to you a few times, but your communicator was always turned off! You didn't even reply to my messages. You probably didn't have time to check them, right? Hahaha … "
Trace Dragon Soul was the most familiar with Yang Rui out of all the players. As soon as he sat down, he began to tease Yang Rui.
Everyone could hear Trace Dragon Soul's intentions. From Trace Dragon Soul's tone, they could see that the relationship between Blazing Sun and Dragon Soul was special. Among all the players present, only Trace Dragon Soul would talk to Yang Rui in this way. Trace Dragon Soul was the boss of Dragon Soul and his personality. It was inappropriate for anyone else to do the same.
"Yes! Lord Blazing Sun. Our Hundred Flower Alliance's Big Sister, Fragrance Zhiruo, also left you a message, but you never replied. Why is that? "
At this moment, Lovelorn Butterfly spoke again. Compared to how Lovelorn Butterfly had attracted the attention of many players previously, many players were already shaking their heads. Lovelorn Butterfly's interruption did not make her presence felt. Instead, it made her stand out even more!
Yang Rui secretly frowned. At the same time, the Dragon Soul's expression froze for a moment, but he didn't stop there. Instead, he continued to tease Yang Rui, selectively ignoring the existence of the Flower Dancing Butterfly.
"Brother Blazing Sun, could it be that you're afraid of us coming to learn from you? Haha … "
"How could that be!?"
After that, the two of them began to chat. From the Yellow Turban Uprising plot reward to leveling up a small town, Trace Dragon Soul asked Yang Rui about it with great interest. As long as it did not involve any secret information, Yang Rui frankly told Trace Dragon Soul and the other players present.
At this time, all the players present were listening with great interest. Only Lovelorn Butterfly was angry at the "cold treatment" she received. No matter how slow she was, she already felt that she was being selectively ignored. She couldn't do anything to Trace Dragon Soul, so she bore a grudge against Yang Rui.
During the conversation between Yang Rui and Trace Dragon Soul, a few more players in charge of player organizations arrived at Grand Mountain City. Among them were the three people of "Sword of Blood and Steel", "Starlight in the Sky", and "CU Alliance". At this point, almost half of the top ten players in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region had arrived. The remaining ten or so players in charge of famous player organizations had also arrived.
Many of these people were people that Yang Rui had never seen before. However, after Trace Dragon Soul and the others introduced them in advance, Yang Rui stood up one by one and welcomed them into the city. Any player organization that had some reputation in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region could not be underestimated.
"It's getting late, and the players are only arriving one after another. Blazing Sun will probably have to prepare a place to stay!"
The players arrived one after another. After Trace Dragon Soul's reminder, Yang Rui realized that it was already five in the afternoon. These player organizations must have come to discuss something. Perhaps it was just as Trace Dragon Soul said, these players were preparing to stay!
However, there were many things that Yang Rui didn't want to announce to the public. In particular, Yang Rui couldn't reveal the fact that Yang Rui was the only player in Grand Mountain City! Therefore, after some thought, Yang Rui sent people to open a new inn at the back of Ao 'lai Valley's checkpoint and near the bandit camp at the top of the mountain.
This was the only place in Ao 'lai Valley that could be built. The rest of the area was very narrow, only enough for the official road. Yang Rui had wanted to dig up the ground and build a building on both sides of the official road, but he hadn't been able to find an effective way.
The construction of the new inn took less than four hours, and it was completed before the sky turned dark. Although the system had gradually limited the construction speed, Yang Rui had put in a lot of effort, so the inn was still built in time.
During this time, Yang Rui, Dragon Soul, Predator Sword, Starlight Vast Sky, and CU Alliance only chatted and laughed. They didn't touch on any real issues in front of everyone. Yang Rui also got to know the leaders of the other ten or so player organizations that had come this time, and they all added each other as friends.
Although these player organizations weren't as strong as Dragon Soul, Predator Blood, Starlight, and CU Alliance, they were still existences that couldn't be underestimated. In reality, they either had large family backgrounds or the support of large financial groups. Many of them had recently risen in the game "War of the Worlds." Their development prospects might not be any worse than Predator Blood, Starlight, and CU Alliance. Some of them might even surpass them by quite a bit.
"Everyone, it's already late. I've already prepared a banquet in the inn. Please come and join us."
After chatting with the ten or so player organization leaders for more than two hours, the sky gradually darkened. Yang Rui stood up and invited all the players present to join the banquet. Yang Rui had already counted the number of players present. There were a total of seventy-five players present. These people wouldn't spend more than a hundred gold coins for a meal, so Yang Rui could naturally afford it.
Many of the players' eyes lit up when they heard Yang Rui's invitation. They weren't excited because they would be able to eat a meal. The key was that ever since Big Mountain City had been established as a small city, no one had seen the interior of the city. Now that Yang Rui wanted to invite them to a banquet, it wouldn't be long before they could open their eyes.
However, they were destined to be disappointed. After Yang Rui led everyone out of the checkpoint at the entrance of Glory Valley, they didn't walk too far before reaching the bandit camp at the top of the mountain. A brand new inn had already appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
This is the place? Many of the players were greatly disappointed. This inn was still located in the middle of the mountain valley. There was no trace of Big Mountain City at all! However, there were still a few players who still had a glimmer of hope. Now that they had passed the checkpoint at the entrance of Glory Valley, they only needed to find an opportunity to explore at night.
"Everyone, thank you for coming to Big Mountain City. You've added so much glory to our city! Today, Blazing Sun has prepared some light wine. I hope that everyone won't stand on ceremony and drink to your heart's content! Since everyone in the city has some special matters to attend to, I, Blazing Sun, will represent Big Mountain City to propose a toast to everyone … "
For the sake of convenience, Yang Rui arranged for the leaders of the various player organizations to be seated on the second floor. The rest of the representatives, regardless of their size, were all seated on the first floor's main hall. After everyone had entered the inn and sat down, Yang Rui greeted the leaders of the various player organizations. He first went to the first floor's main hall to propose a toast to the players before returning to the second floor.
"Everyone, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Come, have a taste of this A pint of incense. See if it's still edible?"
After Yang Rui returned to the second floor, he had no choice but to drink a few more cups with the leaders of the various player organizations. The leaders of Dragon Soul, Predator Blood, and the CU Alliance were familiar with Yang Rui, but they did not drink much. Even if Starshine and the others wanted to drink to their heart's content, they were persuaded not to. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone left with the excuse of being tired.
At this point, how could Yang Rui not see that something was amiss? The leaders of these player organizations must have important matters to discuss with Yang Rui, so they did not want to waste too much time eating and drinking! Yang Rui did not try to persuade them and went along with them.
Sure enough, as Yang Rui expected, after the ten or so leaders of the player organizations left, they all came to find Yang Rui one after another. Moreover, it was as if they had planned it out beforehand. They had a tacit understanding of each other.
"Brother Blazing Sun, there's something that you might not like to hear, but I was ordered to come find you by the higher-ups, so …"
The first person to find Yang Rui was still Trace Dragon Soul, and he immediately explained the nature of the matter.
"Brother Trace, please speak your mind. If I can do it, I won't make things difficult for Brother Trace. On the other hand, if I can't do it, then please don't force me."
Trace Dragon Soul had the advantage of being straightforward. Moreover, Yang Rui had always been very frank with Trace Dragon Soul, so the efficiency of the discussion between the two was very high. It did not take long for the matter to be explained clearly.
However, the content of Trace Dragon Soul was not something that Yang Rui could accept. Trace Dragon Soul seemed to be mentally prepared for this, so he said all the ugly things up front. This was because the deal that Trace Dragon Soul wanted to make with Yang Rui was too big. They wanted to buy the entire Grand Mountain City!
For this reason, the other party offered very generous conditions. Yang Rui could choose from money or other things in real life, such as material, money, power, and even women! From this, it could be seen that the rumors of Dragon Soul's background were not false, or at least they were somewhat similar to the guesses of the players. Otherwise, how could they have such authority?!
Naturally, cities in the game could not be bought or sold, but players could transfer the ownership of a city through the movement of the city owner. This was not difficult to operate, but the city owner could not be changed randomly.
For example, as the city owner of Grand Mountain City, Yang Rui could leave his original organization and join Dragon Soul. In this way, the ownership of Grand Mountain City would naturally belong to Dragon Soul. However, due to the conditions of being the city owner, Dragon Soul would find it difficult to find someone to replace Yang Rui. Even if they wanted to replace him, Yang Rui would have to agree to it himself.
However, no matter how tempting Dragon Soul's conditions were, Yang Rui would not agree to transfer Grand Mountain City.
