Chapter 1293: Chapter 1294

(After a short wait) "We can’t control other districts, but we must take care of Flower City’s affairs," the burly man said. "Flower City wasn’t built by the Han Family or a few companies. Yes, the Han Family has power and wealth, but so what? That doesn’t mean you can dominate everything. If ordinary people in District 001 don’t even have the right to live properly, then what are we, the players, fighting for in the game?"

"If we just wanted a place to live comfortably, wouldn’t it be more convenient to go to other districts or cities?"

"Because this is our homeland, and we must not let people like you trample it at will!"

The burly man’s eloquent words were admirable, yet also regrettable, as even newcomers to Flower City could see that ordinary people no longer had a say in its affairs.

"Thus, you’re still foolish." Han Yi bluntly stated, "The lifestyle you fantasize about, maybe the people of Flower City don’t even want it?"

"Just by following a few simple rules, they never have to work a day in their lives. Who wouldn’t want such a life?"

"You think you’re saving Flower City from turmoil, but others find you breaking their windows. There’s no lack of people willing to report you to the Han Family because more people know that you can’t hold up the situation, and without us, Flower City would sooner or later become someone else’s target."

"Faced with an immediate good life versus an unknown future, what do you think they will choose?"

Han Yi was articulate and seemed to make sense, leaving the three burly men momentarily speechless because, having fought hard in the game, they understood that placing human rights before life and sustenance was inhuman.

After a moment, the burly man finally said, "Humans are still humans. If there is no difference with domesticated pets, how can one still be called human..."

"You think ideals are more important, but you don’t need to look down on people who value a stable life." Han Yi’s voice softened slightly, "Your multiple assassination attempts on me have been useless. If I live, you must die. Even if you kill me, how many more Han Family members are there? How many people from other families? Can you kill them all?"

"Think about it carefully." He signaled his subordinate players to take action.

The three burly men did not ultimately decide to die for their cause, instead retreating into the station when Han Yi’s players attacked.

Watching them disappear, a faint smile appeared on Han Yi’s face. He then left surrounded by his players, as one of his close players publicly announced, "All damaged items will be compensated by the Han Family. Sorry for ruining everyone’s mood; tonight’s expenses will be privately covered by Young Master Han."

Scattered applause came from various directions. The Han Family people were unconcerned, casually tidying up the battlefield and taking away their fallen companions, while the bodies of the attackers were left to be cleaned up by cleaning robots.

It didn’t take long for the bloodstains and debris on the street to disappear, aside from some damaged buildings. It was almost impossible to tell that a bloody battle had taken place, and given Flower City’s pace, it would likely restore itself within a few days.

"Han Yi’s tactics are skillful enough." Chen Chou observed the recent "verbal battle," noting, "It’s all fallacious arguments, but you can’t deny he’s right."

"People in Flower City endure their current lifestyle because they have no means for a better one. To live peacefully, sacrifices must be made. You can’t have it all."

"Just dodging the issue." Xu Huo said flatly, "He’s merely finding a reasonable excuse to take pleasure in killing wantonly."

It’s a simple truth: if he truly believed his actions were faultless, he wouldn’t waste breath justifying them. Ultimately, he knew that trampling over lives is contrary to normal human values and would continue bringing others to confront him over it.

The attempt to rationalize it is merely a sign of insecurity and could be seen as an effort to endear himself, showing that neither he nor the Han Family merely abuses power to kill indiscriminately.

He’s a Rank-B player but different from those who constantly risk their lives in instances, and the changes in the game world are unpredictable. Who knows when a powerful Rank-A player or Super Player might come and change Flower City entirely? Human thoughts can influence many things.

For example, the stance of those recent assailants—they themselves aren’t sure if they can make Flower City better or ensure a bright future. In the process towards that light, they don’t know how many ordinary people might be sacrificed, and their compassion for their compatriots wavers.

Similarly, those outsider players might have considered skinning Han Yi when hearing about the fireworks incident in the city center, but in the big picture of Flower City or even the game’s overall environment, what does his misdeed count for? Many districts drown in turmoil every day, where deaths outnumber births many times over. At least, most people in Flower City still live without worries, don’t they? And the Municipal Government punishes crime harshly, so even players living here mostly don’t dare to recklessly cause trouble or kill.

Humans are incredibly resilient creatures. No matter how the environment changes, as long as they can survive, they will gradually adapt.
