Chapter 454: Chapter 455: Infection

"Night Ghost is committing high treason by obstructing the national mission. This is an act of betrayal, a crime of treason!" Liu Yidao roared loudly as he returned to the resurrection point, facing the people who had resurrected alongside him.

"Negotiations have failed; pacification is no longer possible. He harbors hostile intentions against the state and may even collude with enemy countries. Night Ghost has committed heinous and unforgivable crimes. He is a traitor!" Wang Le also said bitterly.

"You’ve all seen it, haven’t you? They have no sincerity and are determined to annihilate us." Saying this, Liu Yidao broadcasted a message on the guild channel: "Middle management, get ready to go offline. A meeting may be on the cards." Finally, he said to the crowd: "I’m going to report this to the higher-ups. You should also get ready to go offline for the meeting!"

Watching the departing crowd, Green Lantern Ning revealed a slight smile. Night Ghost had already been blackened by the astroturfing-like abyss in the forum; anything more would hardly matter. Adding the label of ’traitor’ would just be a drop in the ocean. If the state were to officially declare this, it might have a very different effect. Night Ghost would forever be known as a criminal.

Will this affect Luoshui Huixi? Hopefully...hopefully that’s the case! Green Lantern Ning started praying quietly.

Lin Luoer woke up. She was in a white high-end hospital room, with two beds. One was hers and the other was her mother’s.

Although the sky was just beginning to brighten, Lin Luoer knew she couldn’t go back to sleep. She was full of energy and clear-headed. It was a state that had come upon her these past few days.

She sat up. Her jet-black hair cascaded down her back, looking softer than before. She reached out from the covers; Lin Luoer furrowed her brow slightly when she saw her skin was even more delicate now.

In the past few days, Lin Luoer had noticed a strange phenomenon on her own body: it seemed to have a self-cleaning function!

What is self-cleaning? It means her body automatically clears off any dirt on her skin. How did she discover it? Sometimes after eating, if her fingers or any part of her body touch something greasy, she’d plan to wash it in the restroom, but when she got there, the grease was already gone. Or to be more precise, the greasy properties were gone. There was no slick or sticky feeling, and the strangest part was that this self-cleaning function usually happened when Lin Luoer wasn’t paying attention.

Moreover, after she sweated, the self-cleaning function would kick in, which kept her from feeling uncomfortable.

If she watched closely, there weren’t strange happenings. As soon as she focused elsewhere, the self-cleaning function would kick in.

In any case, since the appearance of this condition, Lin Luoer’s skin stayed clean around the clock. This self-cleaning effect didn’t apply to her clothes getting dirty.

Lin Luoer took out a bag containing her hospital test results which she’d gotten from her full-body examination these past few days. She had followed Chu You’s advice and went for a comprehensive body checkup, even accompanied by a specialist.

The hospital results showed that Lin Luoer didn’t have any health issues and was extremely healthy.

But how to explain these bizarre events happening to her?!

She got up and went to the bathroom. There was a mirror inside, and Lin Luoer started scrutinizing her reflection again. As she did so, she noticed something odd — was she becoming even more beautiful?! It was an indescribable feeling.

Because she was so energetic, Lin Luoer usually went for a jog at this time. She quite liked this exercise. After changing into her workout clothes, she briefly glanced at her sleeping mother as she passed by her bed. A glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes.

Her mother’s condition had started to stabilize recently. After a while, once her mother’s condition was under control and showing improvement, she could take some time off to visit him in Yanjing! Thinking about this, Lin Luoer felt even happier.

During her free time, Lin Luoer would also check her phone and browse the official forums on her portable computer. She was fully aware of the significant events that had erupted on the forums, but she had never commented on them, maintaining her usual mystique in the eyes of the players.

...

In the game, Chu You had successfully eliminated two Genesis branch guilds. There were only minor obstacles and resistance when exterminating the seventh branch, but it was mostly a smooth sailing. Even so, it took an hour as both guilds were far from the town.

Genesis Main Guild was afflicted with the title of Fool and the negative penalty of Nuclear Sanction. Two of Genesis’ branch guilds had been ruthlessly annihilated by Night Ghost, worsening Genesis’ situation in Yan Kingdom.

All of this was witnessed by many observers. Eventually, Night Ghost exacted his revenge.

Chu You didn’t rush to extinguish Genesis Main Guild. Guilds protected with the Guild Protective Shield were not easy to conquer. Of course, he could still force an attack if he led the Revenge Flower Legion, but that would lead to losses. Every death would equate to 120-130 thousand Gold Coins, plus a massive quantity of strategic resources.

Regarding the Guild Protective Shield, referred to as ’condom’ by players, it was an expensive item and hard to come by. It also had different levels, corresponding to guild levels. Meaning, if a guild was Level 5, the Guild Protective Shield bought must be Level 5 or above. Anything lower than Level 5 would be ineffective. The protective shield could last for 24 hours, or three days, and nothing beyond that. Once three days expired, the ’condom’ needed to be reactivated; otherwise, enemies would strike.

In the late game, either during the PvP Apocalypse War or the ZvZ Regional Wars, this ’condom’ was quite popular. Essentially, whenever either of these events occurred, it was a common sight to see a guild flaring up with ’condoms,’ which was quite a spectacle.

There was also a side effect of the Guild Protective Shield; during the activation, the guild wouldn’t have any income. The resource mines beneath the guild would cease production, and the occupied towns wouldn’t produce any tax revenue. No traveling merchant groups would visit, and the city gates must be closed at all times. If the guild leader opens the city gates, the protective shield would disappear.

Additionally, Chu You was not sure whether Genesis Guild had the City Gate Defense Scroll. This thing was used for city gate defense. There were ways to counteract it, but he didn’t have that weapon at his disposal.

The Genesis Guild was forced to activate the ’condom.’ A three-day Level 5 Guild Protective Shield cost 1 million Gold Coins, Level 6 cost 1.7 million Gold Coins, Level 7 cost double that. To play in such a manner in the early game, they must have been pushed to the brink.

Upon returning to the guild, Chu You immediately received a Phantom Beast message from the Grand Marshal.

Champion Marquis, His Majesty is very pleased with your brilliant achievements against the Beast Race. He has agreed to meet with you, and you can visit the Imperial Palace whenever you like. All you need to do is to present the Champion Marquis Token. Oh, and about the matter you entrusted to me, two people came to see me earlier. They said they have what you need. I think you should come to my mansion to check it out. — Grand Marshal Cui Yun.
