Chapter 716: After modification: Chapter 2 Visiting an Old Friend in Daqing Mountain

Although he could understand it in his heart, Xiao Jie still felt that this matter was quite far-fetched. He had spent so much effort to cultivate immortality and only barely embarked on the path with the guidance of an Immortal.

Even so, it was full of twists and turns, requiring the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, and the result was only a slim chance of survival as described by the saying, "The Immortal’s guidance is something to rely on, but a hairbreadth’s survival through nine deaths."

Chen Tianwen wanting to rely on three Taoist Scriptures to become both an immortal and a saint was really a bit too optimistic.

He guessed that the Wuming Taoist probably had some kind of conspiracy, which is why he left so many avatars to guide players to collect the Unnamed Taoist Scriptures. As for what exactly the conspiracy was, it was hard to say.

However, he didn’t strike down the other party’s hopes. After all, the truth of the matter was still uncertain these days.

Everyone wants to attain immortality and the Dao; since he himself was like this, what right did he have to stop others?

"Sorry, Brother Chen, I’m on a long trip right now, heading to Beidou to attend a player conference. I’m on the train and can’t get into the game.

Besides, even after this is over, I still have professional tasks to do. I mentioned before that I need to fight that Boss named Red Dust, and that thing is quite troublesome..."

Chen Tianwen seemed to understand quite well: "No worries, I’ll help you take down that Master Hongchen first, and then you can help me find the Taoist Scriptures. How about that?"

"Sure, that’s settled. By the way, why don’t you come to the player conference too? You can meet some more friends." Xiao Jie didn’t forget his role as Vice President and took the opportunity to promote a bit.

"There’s no need for that. The so-called player conference is just a face-to-face gathering organized by the Dragon Soaring Guild to unify players from two states. From what I know, that Dragon Soaring Guild has some official background. After the conference, they’ll probably start registering abilities and recruiting members, and I have no interest in being managed by others. Just contact me when you get back."

"OK, definitely."

Xiao Jie hung up the phone, but he agreed quite a bit with Chen Tianwen’s judgment.

Long Xingtianxia was making this player conference rather grand, inviting all players from Dragon Soaring Country to participate. Long Xingtianxia even announced it servers-wide for three days, inviting all players from Fengyin State and Beiming State, and welcoming players from other states who were willing to participate as well.

Officially, the purpose of the player conference was to exchange information, share game experiences, and assist each other.

The abilities gained in-game could translate into many real-world benefits, and there would inevitably be things other players could use. Exchanging information would allow everyone to help each other, essentially expanding their networks.

And as long as one joined the Dragon Soaring Guild, even nominally, they could enjoy various benefits like tax reductions, access to game strategies, profession advancement information, and more.

Such advantages would surely attract a large number of players to join.

Moreover, Xiao Jie could sense that Long Xingtianxia highly valued player control. Recruiting members was only the beginning; once they got people in, they would slowly use means to educate about righteousness, lure with benefits, and establish a hierarchy among members to create a competitive atmosphere, using a carrot and stick approach together.

Ordinary people would find it hard to resist.

However, Xiao Jie had no intention of stopping it. After all, he was now the Vice President of Dragon Soaring. The stronger Dragon Soaring became, the more benefits he would get as the Vice President. Maybe in the future, he could even become second-in-command under one person and above ten thousand.

By then, when fighting the Red Dust, he’d gather a thousand or eight hundred people to swarm at it. No matter how powerful Master Hongchen was, he would be overwhelmed.

The idea was beautiful, but whether it could be carried out depended on the upcoming conference.

There was still some time before reaching his destination. Bored, Xiao Jie opened his phone and started browsing the official game website.

Unexpectedly, there was a new expansion pack content introduction, which immediately piqued Xiao Jie’s interest, and he hurried to check it out.

[Old Soil 1.2.0: Nine States War]

Release Date: Mid-next month.

New Monster Forces: New Empire Army.

Beiming State Governor Long Wushang intends to restore the former glory of the Dragon Emperor. After three years of dormancy and ten years of planning, he has now successfully organized a terrifying army named the New Empire Army.

To restore the glory of the Ancestor Dragon Empire, Long Wushang would pay any price, even slaughtering the entire Jiuzhou World with blood.

The New Empire Army is comprised of the following forces—

1. Wildman Army. Long Wushang once led his army to sweep the northern wilderness, conquering countless Wildman Tribes. Now these wildmen have formed a massive army. Although they lack military discipline and are technologically backward, their savage combat instinct makes them powerful warriors under Long Wushang.

2. Quanrong Giants. The giants living in the Beiming Icefield have now become allies of Long Wushang. These giants were once descendants of the ancient Witch Clan. Although they no longer have their ancestors’ mountain-like terrifying size, they are still colossal.

Now, hundreds of Quanrong Giants have joined Long Wushang, becoming his heavy assault force for attacking and capturing cities.

3. Northern Demon Race. Beiming State is full of steep mountains, home to countless Demons. These demons, adapted to harsh climates, are incredibly powerful. Although their mana may slightly lag behind the demons of Canglin State, their ferocity and love for battle surpass them. Now, under Long Wushang’s promises, these demons have also joined his ranks.
