Chapter 400: Chapter 401: The Situation

Announcement of the Yan Kingdom: Ruling Leader, Night Ghost is online!

This news set off a wave among Yan Country’s players. Night Ghost had been missing in the game for nearly 100 hours, and it was said that nearly 100 hours ago, the bigwigs in the Governing Alliance were no longer able to get in touch with Night Ghost.

As time passed, Night Ghost still hadn’t come online, surprising many people and making them guess if something major had happened to Night Ghost in real life. Had his true identity been discovered?

For a time, rumors flew everywhere. Undercurrents surged among all factions within the Yan Kingdom, to the point where the Governing Alliance’s fourteen guilds were forced to issue a joint statement: any troublemakers would be jointly annihilated at the earliest!

Despite this, fear was spreading within the Governing Alliance itself. It seemed like someone was fanning the flames, secretly spreading rumors. These rumors alleged that the government was going to take over, that the government had control over the managing staff of the fourteen guilds in reality, that Night Ghost’s ruling fortress had been discovered and that they were plotting to organize players to attack the fortress, and to settle the various crimes committed by the fourteen guilds in the past, etc...

In short, the players within the Governing Alliance felt that a change was imminent!

At this moment, Zhao Feiyan stepped forward. As a member of the ’Immortal’ Guild, she was at the same level 35 as Night Ghost. Her words carried a lot of authority and persuasiveness. She employed all sorts of methods to prove that those rumors were just that - rumors. However, she couldn’t provide a satisfactory answer as to why Night Ghost hadn’t been online for a long time.

She could only watch helplessly as the undercurrents surged.

Zhao Feiyan discovered that within this phenomenon, the emerging opponent of the Governing Alliance was a massive player group, numbering in the tens of millions! This was only the player group within Yan Country.

In certain areas where the Governing Alliance was unable to gain a foothold or reach, one Governing Alliance player after another was killed on sight. As long as they dared leave the city, they would definitely die. The powerhouse players there didn’t take Governance Alliance players into account. Even when Night Ghost was online, they acted liked this, though they were not as arrogant as they are now.

During this period, the seals affiliated with the fourteen guilds of the Governing Alliance also suffered greatly, their business seriously affected.

Now, Night Ghost was online, and he had even done so with a Yan Kingdom announcement alert that was monumental.

For a time, Chu You saw that too many messages had appeared in his message bar, some from the system where others were voice messages from friends.

Chu You didn’t care about these right now. He’d already got a rough idea of some of the situations that had appeared in the Yan Country from the forum. What he cared about now was that he could recruit again!

The first place he went to was the guild, where he acceded through the small guild teleportation array to the Nameless Forbidden Divine Temple. He chose this T-nine Mutant Level Lair and found a total of 30 War Demon Concubines available for recruitment. Each one cost 130,000 gold coins, adding up 30 would be 3,90,000 gold coins. This didn’t even take into account the vast amount of strategic resources.

After taking a look at his strategic resources, Azra felt inexplicably sad, before recruiting all 30 War Demon Concubines.

Seeing all of the new War Demon Concubines salute him respectfully and uniformly, he felt satisfied.

Only then did he open his friend bar, first selecting Zhao Feiyan’s voice message.

"Night Ghost, what were you doing offline for so long?" Zhao Feiyan asked, her tone unclear.

"I had some real-life matters to deal with. Zhao Feiyan, thanks for handling the issues that arose in Yan Country... thank you." Chu You said this statement with a frown. Then, with the 30 War Demon Concubines in tow, he went to the teleportation array, and teleported to the ruling fortress through the Guild Teleportation Array.

"Night Ghost, there’s something I want to tell you... I hope you can be rational."

"Hehe, in your impression, am I just a brute?" Chu You chuckled at this remark.

"It’s not that you’re a brute, but you’re too... capricious. You act on your whims." Zhao Feiyan explained.

"Well, say what you wanted to." After arranging the thirty War Demon Concubines at the teleportation array, he went alone to the entrance to Hell, and sprinted towards the Demon Room. He didn’t want to dwell on his conversation with Zhao Feiyan. He would let her think what she pleased.

"It’s like this, according to very reliable news. One of the members in NAG48 has been planted by other powers as a mole, tasked with spying on the Super God Guild. But the most important possibility is, they might be trying to get close to you in some way." Zhao Feiyan laid out what she knew.

"Oh? Get close to me? Kicking NAG48 out...will that have any effect on you?" Chu You immediately thought of the key issue. Zhao Feiyan was actually able to know such secretive matters, which could only have come from her family. Once NAG48 was kicked out, it would be clear who had leaked Knight Ghost’s information.

"Hehe, I guessed it from something my father said."

As expected!

"Ahh I see, if I had discovered this myself, I would have kicked them out without a second thought. But since we’re here already, let them stay in the guild for the meantime. After all, it’s not like the Super God Guild is short of spies and moles. I already know about those whose loyalties have shifted through Wei Hong’s Tianji Intelligence Team. As for whether others have been bought out by other powers, I have no way of knowing. And this kind of situation is inevitable in all factions, there’s no way we can ensure everyone behaves like Zhao Feiyan, unaffected by materialistic temptations."

Also, some factions went as far as this to uncover my real identity, they must be really desperate.

"Oh? It seems you have some counter-intelligence skills," Zhao Feiyan was surprised, Night Ghost seemed to be well-informed about the internal affairs of the Super God Guild. He must have built a hidden force that she didn’t know about. But without dwelling on it she continued, "You surely have a strong willpower, rejecting NAG48 girls who are throwing themselves at you? Are you just pretending in front of me?" She ended with a teasing tone.

Zhao Feiyan made a valid point, even if you know what they’re after, so what? They’re super idols, the public’s sweethearts, and while they might have their motives, they’re not your average Joes. It could be seen as a pleasant transaction that’s going to last a while. I mean, can you imagine, marrying one of those NAG48 girls in-game, having them undress whenever you want, all in return for performing a few tasks for a big faction. You’re not breaking any laws, there’s nothing to be afraid of. You might even end up marrying one of the NAG48 girls in real life - who knows. It offers so many tangible benefits.

No one would be able to resist such a temptation, neither the losers nor the tycoons. It really depends on the individual.

"Thank you for the compliment, it’s so considerate of some people to even plan my future wife for me," Chu You responded with a chuckle.

Hearing his sarcastic remarks, Zhao Feiyan knew that Night Ghost was genuinely disinterested. He seemed indifferent to women, yet very interested at the same time. Just look at the people closest to him - all females, whether they’re friends or part of his army. No wonder someone came up with this plan.

So she changed the subject, "Night Ghost, there are some concerns I must share with you."

"Go ahead." Chu You, currently in the demon room, has chosen the Demon Nest. It’s clear from the recruitment quota that there are 30 Battle Demon Princesses available for recruitment. Each Battle Demon Princess cost 120,000 gold coins, but they require more strategic resources than the War Demon Concubines.

Battle Demon Princesses would amount to 3.6 million gold coins.

"The superpower formed by international capitalist moguls has strongly entered the ’Celestial World’. There’s one you should be aware of, and that’s the Genesis Alliance, a power that reaches the skies. Should our faction become their enemy, we might....."

"I mean, their artificial intelligence system is incredibly powerful and can intervene in various ways. Should they target us, they can use AI technology to identify the leaders of the fourteen guilds in our governing alliance, and then well, you know, this... includes even the Killing Commander."

"So, there might be situations where we have no control over our own actions. You should be prepared for this, Night Ghost."

"If that happens, we’ll just disband the alliance!" Chu You said without emotion. After all, he had already gotten the money and had provided the other side with some valuable intelligence. Whatever the future relationship would be like would depend on the situation. If it hindered him, then he might have to...."

The 30 Battle Demon Princesses in front of him had been recruited. Along with the 3.9 million spent on Battle Demon Concubines, it amounted to a total of 7.5 million gold coins and a massive amount of strategic resources.

He opened his backpack to see he still had 696 million gold coins.

Damn it! It had reduced to 600 million! The game hadn’t been open for very long and he had already spent over 300 million, that’s 300 million gold coins!!

Converting it with the current exchange rate, 1 gold coin = 7 Soft Sister Coins, it equaled more than 2.1 billion!!

Wha-! The saying ’money leaves faster than it comes’ doesn’t just apply to losers but also to the super-rich like himself!!

"Haha, I knew you’d say that." Zhao Feiyan laughed. Of all the words to describe Night Ghost, the most accurate is probably: audacious. And he is steadily embracing his unruly side.

"But listen, Night Ghost, here’s a reminder. After you reach your goal, you’ll still have to face the reality. So, as much as possible... try to maintain good relationships. At least avoid breaking them off completely, it’ll benefit you significantly."

"I know that, I’ll handle it." Memories of Lin Luor and Bao’er came to Chu You’s mind, his eyes flickering.

"All of this originated from... the mainframe, you know?"

Again, his eyes flickered. "I know some, go on."

"The mainframe of Red Queen decided to change the currency exchange mechanism in that small African nation using forceful means. Every person’s bank account was credited with billions, making all of them billionaires. Their currency has completely devalued to the point of uselessness, making them exit the world’s currency system. Right now, the country is in chaos. Some speculate that the Red Queen will replace their useless currency with gold coins and encourage the country to conduct foreign trade with virtual gold coins. I have a feeling a big conspiracy is unfolding," Zhao Feiyan went on speculating.

"Anyway, the reason why I am telling you this news is just to remind you to consider while spending gold coins. Don’t be so extravagant. In the future, the currency we use could very well be gold coins."

"Feiyan, I just spent another ten million gold coins!" Chu You said, laughing.

Zhao Feiyan was left speechless....
