Chapter 556 -324 Wartime Status (Second Update)_1 “Gentlemen, what do you like?” “War!” “Who are we going to fight?” “Don’t know!” “What are we going to do?” “Don’t know!” “What can we do?” “Go on a killing spree!” The news that the national war was about to start spread out, and every Sect leader had finished making their pre-war deployments, then they blissfully waited for the official start of the national war. If this message had come from someone like Xiemen Waidao, the playful kind, players might have thought it was an April Fool’s joke due to the wrong date. But since it came from Black Tech’s intelligence, the information was highly credible and marked a large-scale event to look forward to. After all, Fang Cheng Studio’s game was known for its high degree of freedom, and almost all major events were discovered by players themselves. So, no one bothered consulting the official channels, choosing instead to just play the game. And as the Demon’s intelligence became public, players started confirming with various NPCs, which only ended up startling the NPCs themselves. Taoist Chankong immediately sought out Xiemen Waidao, and upon meeting asked right away, “Lately, the Heavenly Lord’s disciples have been talking about going to war. You all don’t know who you’re fighting, just that there will be war. So, who exactly are you going to fight? That Demon?” “How would I know!” Xiemen Waidao shouted immediately, “I just found out too! You’re not suspecting that I concocted this, are you? How can you wrongfully accuse someone of being so pure and innocent!” “But this is just too preposterous! Is waging war something Cultivators do? And dealing with a Demon should be the job of us from Immortal Village. You only need to sit back and enjoy. Listen to me, go and persuade those disciples to stop this nonsense.” Looking at Taoist Chankong, whose beard bristled and eyes bulged in anger, Xiemen Waidao felt he could charm his way out of this situation with his abundant theoretical knowledge. But after thinking it over carefully, he felt it unnecessary. This time was different from before. Previously, he had to bluff because he needed the portal to the small world, but now players held the advantage, and the opinions of NPCs were no longer important. So, he said quite bluntly, “Alright, if that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can do. However, once the national war starts, the players’ actions will be out of your control. We’re going to conquer all the nations that defy us, take their people, and let their people enjoy life just like everywhere else. Everyone will have a job; everyone will eat their fill! Children won’t have to go hungry, and adults won’t have to worry about making a living for tomorrow! The era of an empire’s domineering rule starts today; we’re going to defy the heavens with pure bravado!” “You… you rebel!” “You’re just now realizing our true colors? Too late! All the good deeds you wanted to do, we’re taking them over! Guess who’s got good deeds to do now? Definitely not you anymore! You old folks should just go home and retire, then wait for the harvest. Cackling evilly!” “I should never have given you the authority!” “Too late!” Sitting on the side, Mukuai 1234 found the back and forth between the old and the young entertaining. By the way, do you want to hear what you’re talking about? However, she didn’t want to meddle too much in their business; she just needed to look after the Spirit Grass growing in her field. It must be said, leaving such matters to these players is indeed a good idea. The Great Heavenly Lord must have had the same thought. The players from the other Sects had already been mobilized, and the portals to the small worlds were opened. Players skilled in detection spells left and would become the eyes of other players, traveling to various worlds to discern their statuses and then formulate an action plan. Streaks of light trailed across the sky, heading toward worlds that had lost contact. Some of them might die in the opposing worlds, but the Sects had assured enough protection that if anyone died and dropped their gear, it would be compensated for. At that moment, Mukuai 1234’s heart was filled with sympathy. Dear unnamed Demon big brother, you’d better fight hard. If you don’t play your part well, they can mess things up big time for you. While the other players began their actions, Liuzi was also invited to Sect of Ten Thousand Laws by Black Tech. Sitting across from Black Tech, Liuzi asked in confusion, “Black Tech, what do you need me for?” Setting down the book in his hand, Black Tech spoke languidly, “According to my investigation, the Demon we’re about to face has a very special ability.” “What ability?” “He can make people very happy.” Liuzi paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, “Are you saying that guy works in Gotham?” “Not at the moment. Within the range of his ability, everyone will be affected by a powerful debuff, which temporarily sends them into a state of ecstasy. Players using gaming pods will feel a more direct influence from it.” “Oh, I see…” Recalling the room that Xiemen Waidao had taken him to, Liuzi had a fair idea of whose room it was. Although he didn’t know how Xiemen Waidao found that room, since it had already happened, there was no need to delve further into its significance. But he still didn’t understand why Black Tech was seeking him out, especially since he hadn’t been online for a while, his Spiritual Energy Level wasn’t very high, and he probably had little combat power. Hearing Liuzi’s query, Black Tech explained slowly, “Actually, it’s like this, ‘Work at Sunrise’ actually has a hidden setting, which is that players can create Magic Artifacts. Did you know that?”
