Chapter 222: Chapter 69 The Grand Narrative of Long Xingtianxia_2

After finishing his words, he sprawled onto the table and fell asleep, snoring, with a row of "zzz" symbols appearing above his head.

Xiao Jie couldn’t help but be stunned, thinking to himself, what’s going on? Since when did this old monkey have such a poor tolerance for alcohol?

But immediately after, he heard the sound of a horse’s neigh coming from the street. The neighing was prolonged and distant, as if it echoed, and it seemed as profound as a dragon’s chant. Xiao Jie had a sudden hunch, and sure enough, a moment later came the sound of someone clomping up the stairs. He saw a figure clad in dark armor stride up the stairs—it could be none other than Long Xingtianxia.

"Ah, Feng hasn’t left yet, how fortunate, I have something I need to discuss with you— you sure left quickly, the aftermath really kept me busy..."

Xiao Jie chuckled inwardly, thinking how the way people addressed him changed after he had killed two men.

Before, he was "little brother," but now it had become "Feng," indeed, showing strength seemed to be the best way to garner respect.

As Long Xingtianxia was speaking, he suddenly saw Yuan Bai sprawled on the table, which gave him a start.

A level 46 Worldly Expert... Long Xingtianxia was originally very intent on recruiting Hidden Moon Following Wind, now he became even more cautious.

This kid is really something.

"Chairman Long has business with me?" Xiao Jie feigned surprise, although he had a vague idea of his purpose.

"Of course, I have business—I think we should change the location to discuss this matter, let’s not disturb this—elder."

Not many could elicit "elder" from Long Xingtianxia.

The two moved to a nearby table, and Long Xingtianxia got straight to the point, "I’m not one for beating around the bush, so I’ll get right to it, I hope Feng can join our Dragon Soaring Knights."

These words left Xiao Jie somewhat startled; he had guessed as much, but he didn’t expect the other party to be so direct.

"This... I’m quite used to being lazy, and besides, I’m just a level 15 small account, Chairman Long..."

Seeing Xiao Jie trying to decline, Long Xingtianxia interrupted directly: "I know how you feel, brother. As a solo player, you must dislike restraints, and likely inherently disdain big guilds such as ours, especially with our constant pursuit of formalities, creating order, harmonious gaming, and whatnot. You probably think we’re a bunch of hypocrites, spouting lofty ideals only to strengthen the guild’s power.

I understand, I understand, but before you refuse, just hear out my reasons, okay?"

"Uh, how could I... I actually quite admire your guild."

"Haha, no need to be polite with me; if I were you, I would think the same. After all, no one likes being controlled. We can accept legal constraints in reality, but in the game too? No one would be happy with that.

But brother, have you ever considered why we have laws in real life?"

Xiao Jie pondered for a moment, "Because people need them?"

"Exactly, because people need them. They need laws to protect their safety. It’s the same in the game, except there’s no powerful law enforcement to execute those laws, leading to lawlessness.

Do you know how many people have died in this game over the past year?"

"How many?"

"Thirty thousand!"

Xiao Jie thought to himself, is that even true? The game server’s capacity is only ten thousand at best.

But after giving it some thought, it wasn’t impossible. The Black Windbreaker from the game players’ management bureau had said the annual death rate was 80% or 90%...

Anyway, it was a lot, so the death of twenty or thirty thousand people was not out of the question.

"How do you know this so clearly?"

"Let’s just say I have special sources of information—just in the past few days, brother, haven’t you seen quite a few dead?"

Xiao Jie recalled a bit, indeed, quite a few, definitely several dozen.

"This is the result of no order, only chaos, where everyone fights and kills each other for their own interests, just like in the Warring States period. Why is Qin Shi Huang revered as the emperor of the ages? It’s because he unified Huaxia, ending that endless chaos and infighting and consolidating Huaxia’s Strength into a single force.

What I want to do is essentially the same as Qin Shi Huang, to put an end to the current chaos in the game and create a unified order.

Only then can we return players to a peaceful coexistence without internal strife.

And only then can we band together players’ strength to delve into the true depths of the game.

To achieve this, there needs to be a leader, a creator of order. Honestly, I’m not fond of doing these things. The Profession I chose is General, a Third-Transfer Cavalry General. This Profession is indeed strong in the game, but it’s useless in real life.

If I had the resources and energy, why wouldn’t I play the Magic System? Using Immortal Divine Power would be so cool.

Why go to all this trouble? It’s to build a harmonious game, as only a commanding-type Profession like the general can exert the army’s Strength to the greatest extent in national warfare."

Xiao Jie was slightly taken aback, thinking that this made sense. At least if he had so many resources, he would definitely go down the magic system path.

It seemed that Long Xingtianxia sacrificed a lot to establish a harmonious order.

But ever since reading the Nameless Dao Scripture Human Dao Chapter, Xiao Jie’s understanding of human nature deepened with more profound reflections. People always dress up their real motives with prettier and more noble-sounding justifications.

Who knew if Long Xingtianxia didn’t have other motives?

Some things can be believed, but not entirely.

After musing for a while, Xiao Jie suddenly asked an unrelated question, "I heard Chairman Long has official backing, is that true?"
