It was very quiet. None of the guild leaders made a sound. But communication was inevitable at this time. There were also some guild leaders who were familiar with each other. Those who were familiar with each other were secretly communicating through messages. Black Index Finger was the busiest at this time. 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 messaging were startled. Their faces were a little awkward, but they quickly recovered. But then they looked at each other and no one spoke.
"If anyone has any other way to get Qianli drunk, why don't you say it? We can discuss it," Black Index Finger said.
Everyone was silent. If there was a way to get Qianli drunk, it wouldn't be like this now.
Finally, a guild leader spoke. It was the question that everyone was most concerned about. "How can we guarantee 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. What Black Index Finger meant was, "We have no other choice."
But the guild leader who was pushed back by Black Index Finger said unhappily, "If we can't be trusted, at least we won't lose money. Why don't we care about this question?"
"This is already the only chance. At least everyone has no doubt about the character of the very overpowered guild leader, Sword Demon, right? "
"But Sword Demon is in prison now!"
"What kind of question is that? We can make this deal in the dungeon in front of Sword Demon and get his promise. "Black Index Finger's brain had not been idle. He had already sorted out many questions. Whether it was trustworthy or not, of course, he had to think about it. He wouldn't forget such an important question.
"Okay … Then let's take this gamble. How many people do we have in our guilds?"
"Won't we know if we calculate?"
So the guild leaders reported the number of people in their guilds. In total, there were 20,000. But compared to the original lineup, thousands of people were gone. Only then did Black Index Finger notice that some of the guilds he had notified didn't even show up. They had quietly withdrawn from the guild a long time ago.
"There are 20,000 people, but will all of them agree to this condition?" a guild leader asked worriedly.
"If they don't want to, we can only ask them to leave," said the black index finger.
All the presidents looked at each other.
"At least we can protect the guild. If not …" Black Index Finger glanced at Unchung Mutsu. He didn't know what to say, but Unchung Mutsu took the initiative to continue the conversation, "If not, we'll end up like Muyun. Even if the brothers in the guild are still fighting, how can I let them continue to fight? 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 … "
Unchung Mutsu's words were the most convincing. His guild was currently in the worst situation. It was already half destroyed. Even if they managed to hold on for a while, they didn't know how far they would fall in Cloud City.
Normal players might not care about the guild, but as a guild leader, especially one who created and brought the guild up, the feelings they had for the guild weren't ordinary. Protecting the guild was a huge temptation to them … This was also why when the group of guild leaders heard the news from Black Index Finger, they were considering the feasibility of this matter. No one showed any bravery at all … Their bravery had been worn down by Gu Fei time and time again. 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 be able to gather this huge sum of 4 million?" one of them said.
"I've been thinking about this question. I've noticed something. The asking price of 4 million sounds scary at first, but considering the number of people we have, it's a very affordable price. That's why I think the other party took into consideration our ability to bear the price. They didn't randomly give us an amount that we can't afford to make things difficult for us. Since the other party can understand this, when the number of people who support this matter drops, I think they might take a step back based on the new number of people we have … "Black Index Finger said.
The Black Index Finger found it hard to make a convincing expression on his face, because he had been doubting whether the four million yuan was really taken into consideration or just fooled them. When he thought about the 200 + scrolls, 70 super elites, favors, transportation fees, etc, Black Index Finger would rather believe it was 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.
"Let's vote by raising our hands. No matter what, I agree." Unchung Mutsu was the most desperate among all the guild leaders. 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 Unchung Mutsu 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.
As expected, under Unchung Mutsu'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 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 Unchung Mutsu was desperate, he didn't lose his intelligence. Seeing the three of them acting suspiciously, he had an idea and said, "You want us to be the touchstone? After we find out that the conditions are feasible, you will compensate them and ask for peace?"
The three of them were shocked when they heard this. They immediately denied it and said that they only wanted to think about it.
"One minute," Black Index Finger said, "I'll give you one more minute. If you don't want to join us, I'm sorry, but we will have to tell you that you are not willing during the negotiation. Otherwise, are we going to be the ones to blame for your troubles? "
Black Index Finger's words put an end to the three guilds' schemes. In less than a minute, the three of them finally stood to the side.
"Alright, then everyone can go and negotiate with your own guild members! If they are not willing, tell them the pros and cons. Let them understand that they will 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 not willing to pay and quit to Qianli?"
Black Index Finger was expressionless. "Otherwise, how can we convince them 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 was already decided, but some people started 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 guild leader meeting that everyone fell into silence. After a while, someone finally spoke up, "I think I should ask my brothers in the guild first before deciding whether or not to go down this path!"
Once this suggestion was made, the hesitant people quickly nodded and expressed that they wanted to do the same.
"Do whatever you want!" Black Index Finger was too lazy to say anything else. He had already decided that even if no guild was willing to do the job, he would take his remaining people and negotiate with the overpowered guys to compensate them and apply for protection. From the moment the Black Index Finger had this thought, the alliance of guilds that had encircled the Heaven-Defying Guild Alliance had completely collapsed. They had completely fallen into a state of self-destruction.
Black Index Finger didn't care about the other guilds at all. He took a deep breath and sent a message in the guild channel, "Everyone, please stop what you are doing. I have something important to say …"
The negotiations with the guild members all had their own reasons. Some said that the guild's benefits were the most important, some said that they wanted to keep the flame of the revolution alive and take revenge in the future, and some said that they had no other choice but to live … Anyway, they all said the most tragic things. The Shepherd Cloud Guild was mentioned 100% in the process.
Admit defeat and compensate them.
No matter how extravagant the negotiations were, 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 were already tired … Countless people were already hesitating whether to leave the guild to avoid this storm. But now, they could get rid of this terrifying killer by spending 200 gold. 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! Our guilds all agreed!!! "A guild leader was the first to speak up excitedly.
"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 had left. There were 49 of them. It couldn't be helped since their guild had the largest population base! Moreover, it was a big guild. Experts always had more pride. Of the 49 people who left, 32 of them made Black Index Finger's heart ache. They were all people who were not easy to recruit! But now, Black Index Finger wrote down the names of these 49 people. He would hand them over to Overpowered without hesitation. They wouldn't have a good ending.
According to the latest statistics of the guilds, there were still more than 20,000 people. Four million gold was not much of a problem. Black Index Finger quickly sent a message to Han Family Young Master and made a request. He wanted to complete this transaction in the dungeon in front of Overpowered guild leader Sword Demon. Han Family Young Master agreed without hesitation and informed Gu Fei, asking him if he wanted to come and see this historical moment.
Han Family Young Master and the others arrived earlier in the dungeon. Black Index Finger and the others still had to collect money. Moreover, the flames of war were raging in Cloud City. Although the 20,000 of them were trying their best to avoid fighting, they would still be accidentally dragged into it. At this moment, the guild leaders had already issued a death order. They were determined not to fight. They were determined to finish this Overpowered matter and then rest well.
In the dungeon, all the Overpowered players were online. This was of course the order of Han Family Young Master. 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 appeared in the dungeon.
Compared to the previous 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 cells 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 Han Family Young Master was still not in a hurry and shouted.
Han Family Young Master rolled his eyes at these people. He carried out his best mockery, "If you go out, can't you come back through the main door?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. 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 Han Family Young Master laughed, Brother You and many others who only had one minute left the dungeon …
The group was helpless. They could only pay the visitation fee and quickly ran back. Seeing that Han Family Young Master was still standing there silently, they said together, "What's the matter? Hurry up and say it!"
"I've already said it." Han Family Young Master said.
A bunch of people went crazy. Other than Brother You, who was already used to this fellow's viciousness and could still endure it, the others had the urge to immediately fight with Han Family Young Master.
Brother You looked at the others who were still in the dungeon. All of them were beaming with joy. It was obvious that Han Family Young Master had brought great news. However, when he looked at Sword Demon, he didn't seem too happy. What was it that made everyone happy, but Sword Demon didn't seem happy? Brother You was thinking when Yutian Shenming shouted, "Brother You, we're rich!!!"
"Oh? What rich? "Brother You asked hurriedly.
"Four million, this fellow extorted four million from those guys!!!" Yutian Shenming shouted.
"Four million? Ah … "Brother You quickly calculated. It was very heaven-defying. 50 people divided it equally. Each person would get more than 80,000. That was a huge sum! It was really a huge sum! It was no wonder that Sword Demon wasn't too happy. He obviously wasn't keen on extortion …
Just as everyone was getting 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 who were 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 react in time. Now that they were in the dungeon, they realized that a bunch of people had been forgotten.
However, all the guilds tried their best to make up for the difference. At this moment, they had already 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 always been very determined.
"Everyone, you're here!" Han Family Young Master was very enthusiastic. The players inside and outside the dungeon also showed a great welcome. Everyone loved people who gave away money 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 we reduce it a little?"
"Sure!" Han Family Young Master's quick reply surprised everyone present. Before Black Index Finger could express his gratitude, the OP players were already shouting "No!" in protest. However, some of them who were slightly shrewd kept quiet and just stared at Han Family Young Master. They knew that Han Family Young Master's "sure" was a foreshadowing.
"As long as any of you can answer one of my questions correctly, I will return all the compensation to your guild." Han Family Young Master was very arrogant. He didn't treat the money that he didn't get as his own.
Amidst the protests from the OP players, the guild leaders were overjoyed and quickly nodded, "No problem. What's the question? " Black Index Finger was especially eager. His guild had the most members and naturally had the most share of the four million.
"This question is a little difficult. I'll allow you to answer it through messages. My friend list is open now. Next, please listen to the question. "Han Family Young Master announced, and the guild leaders all nodded.
"Who's the traitor among these guys?" Han Family Young Master asked as he pointed at the OP players inside and outside the dungeon. At the same time, Gu Fei already held the Night Streak Sword in his hand.
