?Chapter 1283: 414. Don’t mind making a big fuss
“I bet this is definitely a wrongful block! Anyone who opposes me, dare you bet with me? If I lose, my whole family will ascend to heaven. If you lose, I won’t ask for much, just an apology will do!”
Needless to say, this reply came from the Dark Disciple.
As soon as Mason Gray saw someonee to his aid, he immediately teamed up with the Dark Disciple and fiercely attacked the yers who imed he was an alternate ount.
The same scenario yed out on various floors of the thread.
Unknowingly, dozens of yers had joined the Dark Disciple’s camp, beginning to unleash their firepower on other yers.
Mason Gray quickly understood the situation. <div>
...
All the yers who were helping the Dark Disciple must have, like him, received a task from the Dark Divine Cult!
Sure enough, before long, the Dark Disciple pulled the yers, including Mason Gray, into a group chat and said bluntly:
“It must be those selfish bastards from the ‘Gold Dragon’ guild that don’t want us loose yers surpassing them, so they collectively reported our ounts! Brothers, I have a n that can get us revenge!”
Everyone who joined the group had received the task, so naturally, there was no opposition.
They discussed it among themselves.
Half an hourter, including Mason Gray, the yers ended the group chat, each created a character, and entered the game.
Some applied to join the “Gold Dragon” guild, while others spread out and joined otherrge guilds.
Great Guilds have their own schemes for absorbing new yers.
They categorize new yers into four ranks.
Fourth-rank yers have no money, no time, no experience.
Third-rank yers have time, but no money, no experience.
Second-rank yers have time, experience, but no money.
First-rank yers have time, experience, and money.
Third- and fourth-rank new yers are directly rejected when applying to join Great Guilds.
Second-rank yers can be official members after a probationary period.
First-rank yers are exempt from the review and probationary period, and can participate in guild tasks upon paying their membership fee.
Above first-rank, there are special-rank yers who have money, but no experience, no time.
That’s the big boss, responsible only for funding, asionally logging in to enjoy the fruits of professional yers’bor.
The path the Dark Disciple led everyone down was that of a first-rank yer.
There were 48 of them in total.
10 people joined the “Gold Dragon” guild, and the remaining 38 joined the “Eternal Club,” “Star Cluster Will,” and “Arrogant Fantasy” – three otherrge guilds.
They had already agreed on a n.
The 10 members who joined the “Gold Dragon” guild would look for opportunities to initiate disputes with the other three guilds, ideally creating incidents involving yer casualties and damaged ships.
In this process, some yers acted overtly, while others guided public opinion in the shadows, exacerbating the issue and suppressing any voice that was favorable to resolving the dispute.
To sum it up in one sentence, they’d do whatever could get people riled up and blowing their tops.
If possible, it would be best to use honey-traps to corrode a few guild admins, making it easier to manipte guild mechanisms and ignite conflicts.
It must be said that the Dark Disciple and his people had chosen a good time.
Right now was the crucial stage of developing the new expansion, and thest thing the Great Guilds wanted was outsiders holding them back.
Take, for example, the process Nnd Lee had set up for registering as a Wizard Apprentice.
Considering the yers contaminated by the Dark Divine Cult, and the possibility that it might extend to regr yers who had never had their ounts deleted, Nnd Lee decided to conduct regr checks on all yers joining the Academy.
The method for regr checks was simple: encourage yers to get into the habit of carrying out “Training Tasks.”
Nnd Lee added the “Sparring with Magic Puppets” training task to the daily task list for Wizard Apprentices, offering substantial experience and item rewards.
After logging in, yers would automatically pick up the daily task and head to the training grounds to engage inbat training with magic puppets.
During this time, Nnd Lee’s Passive Deconstruction would trigger normally, thereby updating the basic information of the yers daily.
This precautionary measure, amid the rush of yers joining the Academy, instead became a point of exacerbating yer conflicts.
Only because the training ground was limited in size, it could amodate a maximum of 1,000 yers for training tasks simultaneously.
Even though the trainingsted only about 5 minutes, it still caused yers to line up in long queues outside the training ground.
Nnd Lee finished his meeting with Captain Leighton and two others, and when he returned to the Academy, he discovered that the queuing was severe.
He immediatelymanded the Little Elves to build a new training ground.
But as more and more yers learned about the situation at the ck Hole, the number of yers at the Magic Academy soared rapidly.
Just as Nndpleted the second training ground, the number of yers had tripled, and the queue time had be even longer than before.
Nnd straightforwardly built ten new training grounds in one go, seizing the opportunity to showcase the infrastructure capabilities of magical creatures to the yers.
However, no matter what, short-term yer disputes were inevitable, especially when someone was stirring the pot behind the scenes.
Members of the Dark Disciple and others seized the moment to cause trouble for the Gold Dragon in the Sky guild, publicly using them of intentionally dying training time and hindering other yers frompleting tasks.
In the region outside the ck Hole, a few malicious members of the “Gold Dragon” guild activated their PK mode and, using the ships distributed by the guild, began to clear out escape pods that had warp-jumped near the ck Hole.
This behavior, known in-game as “egging,” was the most despised by yers, and its maliciousness was no less than that of shing at defenseless old men, women, and children.
The ones whose escape pods were destroyed were Mason Gray and others.
After their pods were destroyed by the “Gold Dragon” guild members, instead of reporting the issue to their own guild’s administrators, they chose to edit the video and post it on the game forums, with a clear attitude of not fearing the consequences.
In this era, the speed of information dissemination is too rapid.
Before the Dark Disciples and others could share the video, many media outputs had already spread the news, with some extremely eye-catching headlines:
“Shocking! To monopolize task rewards, the Gold Dragon guild actually did this!”
“See the true face of the great guilds! Does anyone still want to join such a guild?”
“Guild wars approaching! Gold Dragon guild takes the lead in attacking!”
“On the first day of the new expansion, Gold Dragon deres, ‘I’m the boss!''”
By the time the “Gold Dragon” guild reacted, it was already toote.
The major guild administrators bought off by the Dark Disciple and others, organized a Star Fleet without a second word, and began attacking the “Gold Dragon” guild members who had destroyed the escape pods outside the ck Hole.
Originally, only the yers aboard the escape pods, which were provided free of charge by space stations as a humanitarian obligation, were harmed.
Now, however, the conflict had escted, and the damage extended to the “Gold Dragon” guild’s escort ships and battle cruisers.
Even if it was just to save face for the guild, the “Gold Dragon” guild had to bite the bullet and seek an exnation from other guilds.
Seated in the Magic Academy, Nnd Lee had a full view of everything happening both inside and outside the ck Hole.
He not only witnessed the full process of the “Gold Dragon” guild destroying the escape pods, but also noticed a few sneaky figures.
When those yers who instigated the trouble were being attacked by other guilds, Nnd secretly used magic on them from a distance, sessfully triggering Passive Deconstruction.
The results of Passive Deconstruction were eye-opening for Nnd.
It was the Dark Divine Cult behind it!
These yers had also been tainted by the Dark Divine Cult!
Seeing that the guild fleets outside the ck Hole were on the brink of war, Nnd hastily hit the emergency pause button.
He went to the academic records desk, selected the yer IDs on the records, andunched the fifth phase of the Expansion Plot’s storyline task.
The first four phases of the task guided yers to join the Magic Academy, and this fifth phase was rted to the decimation of Angel Enterprise Alliance.
All the yers assembled outside the ck Hole simultaneously received the task information.
