Ouyang Shuo had just stepped into the study when he sensed the chilly aura emitted from Feng Qiuhuang.
Feng Qiuhuang had changed!
She had become like him.
A light flickered in Ouyang Shuo's eyes as he greeted Feng Qiuhuang with a smile. He sat on his seat and adjusted himself into a comfortable position. "The Spring Festival isn't over yet, and you're already busy?"
Casting a glance at Ouyang Shuo, Feng Qiuhuang helplessly said, "You still have the mood to laugh?"
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Shuo was puzzled.
Feng Qiuhuang said, "I heard from the elders of the clan that Di Chen and the others are making a move again." Feng Qiuhuang's tone did not change at all when she mentioned the clan elders. It was as if she was talking about an ordinary official.
When he saw this, Ouyang Shuo was even more certain that Feng Qiuhuang had really taken the path of a king.
Truly amazing!
Not only in China, but also in the world.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Let them be. In any case, they won't be able to cause any big waves."
Towards the [Yan Huang Alliance], Ouyang Shuo had always liked to remain silent, and would never cause trouble for them. However, if Di Chen and the others wanted to set up a trap for the Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo would arrive first and deal a fatal blow.
This was the case in the battle of Yunnan.
Ouyang Shuo was not in the mood to play cat and mouse with Di Chen and the others. Today you set me up, tomorrow I'll set you up, back and forth.
What was the point?!
Rebuilding Shanhai City was the way of the king. Scheming and scheming were ultimately just a small path. For example, if Ouyang Shuo wanted to deal with the Shu Han Dynasty, they would have to fight on the battlefield in the end.
This attempt to drive a wedge between Pang Tong and himself was merely an aid, an act of convenience.
Di Chen and the others played these tricks all day, and they didn't feel tired at all.
"It's different this time. You have to be careful." Feng Qiuhuang's expression was solemn.
Ouyang Shuo was stunned, and when he saw Feng Qiuhuang's expression didn't seem to be fake, he stood up and asked. "Tell me, what tricks are they playing this time? Assassination, sowing discord, or joining forces?"
"Neither."
What Feng Qiuhuang said next caused Ouyang Shuo to frown.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo was just a commoner and didn't know how big the world was. He had also underestimated the power of aristocratic families. Many things in the world were hidden above the clouds and were not something he could touch.
Just like the quantum world: what you see is not the whole world.
The story had to start from the era of Earth.
Before the establishment of the Earth Federation, there was not much interaction between the world's aristocratic families. Especially between the East and the West, there was a natural barrier.
With the establishment of the Earth Federation and the integration of the world, these aristocratic families slowly came together in order to resist the federal government on the surface.
They secretly set up an organization called the Silver Hand, and the families of Di Chen and the others were members of it. The Di Family was a core member of the [Silver Hand].
The tentacles of the Silver Hand had reached almost every corner of the Federation. Only a few people knew of their existence, including the Academics led by the Federation President.
The main members of the Academic Faction were all Federation officials who had graduated from professional schools. Furthermore, they were mainly from the grassroots and had some innate conflict with the aristocratic families. It was their duty to eliminate the privileges of the aristocratic families.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Academics that the Silver Hand could not be unbridled in the Federation. The struggle between the two had accompanied the growth of the entire Federation.
The arrival of the doomsday made the Silver Hand face a huge test. The soil and foundation that they relied on for survival suddenly faced a devastating impact.
The Academics seized the opportunity to counterattack and realize a desperate counterattack.
The calculation of the first achievement value and the second calculation of the game achievement value were the ideas of the Academics to completely smash the sharp weapon of the Silver Hand, so that they would lose their privileges and be unable to tyrannize on Planet Hope.
Of course, the Silver Hand did not give in easily.
What followed was naturally a game of chess.
The treatment of the special game cabin, as well as the confidentiality of the Earth, the qualification for internal testing, the game insider information, and so on, were all fought for by the Silver Hand.
In the face of this behemoth, even the Federation President had to compromise sometimes.
In addition to the above, the Silver Hand did not give up the ambition to dominate the Earth. In their minds, as long as they could maintain a transcendent position in the game.
According to the second calculation of the game's achievement value, they could still win.
The only thing that the Silver Hand did not expect was that Gaia was on the side of the Academics. The perfect mechanism of the Earth left them with basically no loopholes to exploit.
The fair game environment made the Silver Hand feel restrained.
As a result, it was inevitable that there would be grassroots players who used the Earth to complete a counterattack and become the backbone of the fight against the Silver Hand on Planet Hope.
For this reason, before the interstellar migration, there was an agreement within the Silver Hand: once there was an uncontrollable "anomaly" that was enough to threaten the survival of the Silver Hand, the other members were obliged to cooperate with the members of that country to eradicate the "anomaly" and maintain the "order" of the game world.
This agreement was the 15th clause.
The White Hand even made a detailed classification of the "anomaly", delineating it into three levels: "Dangerous", "Extremely Dangerous", and "Disaster". The higher the level, the more importance the Silver Hand attached to it.
For the "Dangerous" level, it was enough to use the members of that country, so there was no need to activate the 15th clause. For the "Extremely Dangerous" level, the clause needed to be activated, and the members had to provide assistance to the members of that country within their ability.
As for the final "Disaster" level, that would be incredible.
Once it was rated as a "Disaster" level, all the members of the Silver Hand had to take action and do their best to extinguish the "anomaly" at all costs.
Ouyang Shuo and his Shanhai City had undoubtedly become the biggest "anomaly" in the game.
After the defeat in the Battle of Yunnan, Di Chen and the others finally admitted in frustration that the power of the Yan Huang Alliance alone could no longer contain the rise of Shanhai City. They were no longer able to eliminate this "anomaly".
Di Chen thought it was time to activate the 15th clause.
The proposal was approved by Lord Chunshen, War Wolf, Xiong Ba, and Feng Qingyang, and it had already come into effect.
On New Year's Eve before the Spring Festival, the Silver Hand activated Article 15.
Originally, the "anomaly" level submitted by Di Chen was "Disaster", but after the decision of the Round Table Conference of the Silver Hand, it was lowered to the "Extremely Dangerous" level.
What Ouyang Shuo did not know was that William of the English Region and Henry of the French Region had tactfully spoken up for him at the Round Table Conference, allowing Shanhai City to escape.
It was obvious that if the Silver Hand really went all out, Shanhai City would be severely injured even if it did not die. Even the current "Extremely Dangerous" level was enough to make Shanhai City suffer.
At the same time, in the eyes of Jack Dawson and the others, the existence of Shanhai City was far from posing a direct threat to them. If they rated it as a "Disaster" level right from the start, it would really damage the prestige of the Silver Hand.
"Don't tell me that we, the Silver Hand, are going to be scared to the point of wetting our pants by a territory that has not yet been established? If that's the case, where can we put our faces?! "Jack Dawson said at the Round Table Conference.
The Hand of Silver had extraordinary pride.
This was also why Shanhai City rose step by step in the wilderness, once pressuring the Yan Huang Alliance to the point of being unable to breathe. Di Chen and the others had never thought of using the power of the members of other countries to contain Shanhai City.
It was only after the end of the Battle of Yunnan that Di Chen and the others had no choice but to bow their heads and admit defeat. Even so, Di Chen and the others became the laughingstock of the organization, unable to lift their heads.
If possible, Di Chen hoped that the 15th clause would never be activated.
In addition, Jack and the others did not want to rate Ouyang Shuo as a "Disaster" because of strategic considerations.
The strength of the Silver Hand, in addition to their own strength, also lay in their extremely strong concealment. Even the Academics did not necessarily know all the members of the Silver Hand.
However, once Ouyang Shuo was rated as a "Disaster", the Silver Hand would be completely exposed to the world.
If the Academics took advantage of this and used Shanhai City as an opportunity to incite the world's grassroots players to crusade against the Silver Hand, then the future of the Silver Hand would not be easy.
Not to mention containing and destroying Shanhai City, they would not even be able to protect themselves.
Compared to the real world, the number of players in the game could sometimes play a decisive role.
Take the China region for example, there were tens of millions of grassroots players. If all of them stood up against the Yan Huang Alliance, it would be enough to uproot the Yan Huang Alliance, leaving not even a trace.
Even within the [Yan Huang Alliance], there were many grassroots players.
Having said that, as long as the Silver Hand did not jump out of their own accord, no matter how much the Academics incited, no one would believe them. The players were not fools, and they would not be so easily incited.
Otherwise, the Yan Huang Alliance would not have been able to survive until now.
For the grassroots players to collectively riot, they needed a strong opportunity. Jack and the others were not fools, and they would not voluntarily give such an opportunity to the Academics.
For all these reasons, Di Chen's proposal of a "Disaster" level was not approved.
Di Chen was very regretful about this. In Di Chen's opinion, Ouyang Shuo was somewhat evil, and he had an extraordinary understanding of the game "Earth on Earth".
Since the organization had made a move, they had to go all out. Otherwise, there might be some unforeseen changes.
Di Chen was afraid.
"Even so, the fight still has to continue," Di Chen said.
...
After the 15th clause came into effect, the members of the Silver Hand all over the world would do their best to assist the Yan Huang Alliance to curb the rise of the Wilderness.
An invisible net had already begun to envelop Shanhai City.
Because of this, as soon as Feng Qiuhuang received the news, she immediately rushed to Shanhai City to inform.
If Feng Qiuhuang had not returned to the Feng Family and taken over as the head of the Feng Family, Ouyang Shuo would have been kept in the dark about this matter from the Great Elder. Mobile users, please browse and enjoy a better reading experience.
