MMORPG: Martial Gamer

“…”

Black Dragon King’s expression did not look too good after what Fearless said.

In the game, sealing the city was as frightening as hacking someone else’s account.

If Fearless were to really lock the city down, there would be no way of entering or exiting the city at all.

The main city was the safe harbour and a supply station for all the players. Without medicine and other supplies from the main city, the efficiency of the players training outside the city will decrease drastically.

Moreover, every equipment had fixed durability so once they were damaged, they would just be destroyed since there was nowhere to fix the equipment outside the city.

What would it feel like to live in the wild without medications and equipment?

This would mean that the players could only battle small monsters with little EXP and not the monsters with a slightly higher level or even BOSSES.

If they died while trying to kill a BOSS, it would be good if the resurrection point was outside the main city. If the players resurrected in the city, they would not know when they could leave the city ever again.

In the game, the most popular way of gaming was to battle monsters to level up and upgrade their equipment. If they were in the city, there will not be any monsters for them to battle and more than half of the Black Dragon Guild players will be trapped on this island forever.

Judging from Fearless and Sanguine Warflag’s tone, they must be serious about this. After all, this small island meant nothing to them compared to Brave Continent.

…

Black Dragon King’s cold sweat dripped down even before thinking of the more serious consequences.

F*ck, this harmless-looking young man was a little too fierce.

Looking at Black Dragon King’s fear, Fearless smiled and continued, “Scared? I was still considering to keep you guys here for a few months, then organise an annual Japanese-killing session here for players from the Chinese servers… We have more than one hundred million players in China, and we will charge them one coin per person and fifteen million could be made in just a day. Even toilet paper and underwear have their purpose, so don’t you think that I won’t dare to make use of you guys for this!”

“Yo, good suggestion!” Sanguine Warflag exclaimed after hearing what Fearless said, “I have to reserve a few ten thousand slots beforehand then…”

“No problem!” Fearless nodded at Sanguine Warflag and seemed very happy with Sanguine Warflag’s support.

Boson translated the conversation between the two to Black Dragon King with a smile.

“…”

These guys coordinated with one another, frightening Black Dragon King completely… Black Dragon King pointed at Fearless while trembling and said, “Ruthless!”

Fearless replied with a smile, “I’m flattered. Confucius once said ‘Enemies should be destroyed even if they came a long way’ and I am merely following his teachings. So do you want to pay us now or make us keep you here to earn money?”

The answer to this multiple-choice question was very obvious for someone like Black Dragon King.

“Hmph! We concede defeat this time!”

Black Dragon King snorted and took out a contract then passed it to Fearless after signing.

Fearless nodded his head with satisfaction after looking at the contract.

“He really gave fifteen million?” Sanguine Warflag asked with excitement.

“Take a look for yourself!” Fearless shook the contract in front of Sanguine Warflag.

“Ssss…” Sanguine Warflag took a huge breath after seeing the number of zeros on the contract and started admiring Fearless’s capability.

Even as a leader of a big guild, it was his first time seeing such a huge amount of gold coins as well…

With only 10 players, Quan Zhen Sect did something that Sanguine Warflag would never have achieved with his hundred thousand players in his guild. Sanguine Warflag respected Fearless’s guts to take advantage of others just like that.

Sanguine Asura even added, “Oh my, I have only seen this much money when I was sweeping the tomb during the Qing Ming Festival…”

“Haha!”

Fearless was in a great mood after taking so much money from Black Dragon King, and wrote a contract of five million and gave it to Sanguine Warflag, saying, “Take these money to have a drink with your brothers!”

Fearless was reasonable and he knew that he would not have been able to get this amount of money if not for Sanguine Alliance. Now that Quan Zhen Sect had earned such a huge sum of money, it would not make sense to leave Sanguine Warflag without splitting some money with them.

“This… How could I…”

Sanguine Warflag was an upright man and did not know how to respond to Fearless giving him such a huge sum of money.

Right at this moment, Wang Yu shouted from the roof, “Keep it! There will be more chances that we will need your help. How would we dare to ask for your help in the future if you didn’t keep this sum of money?”

“That’s right!” Fearless snapped his fingers and said, “Iron Bull knows me best!”

“O… Okay then.” Sanguine Warflag kept the contract and said, “You guys can look for us if you need help in the future!”

It seemed like Sanguine Warflag had tasted the fruit of his labour.

The war this time earned Quan Zhen Sect Yamatai City and 12 million coins worth of compensation in exchange for the Saga City Seal.

For Sanguine Alliance’s side, they earned themselves a main city and six million coins as compensation in exchange of a few deaths.

Compared to their profit, their losses were not even existent… This was exactly what they meant by ‘throwing a brick to attract jade’, and it was a win-win situation.

After getting the money, Fearless lifted the restriction on the resurrection point, and the soldiers gave way to Black Dragon King.

Sanguine Warflag followed and removed Saga City’s harbour restriction.

“Ai…”

Black Dragon King sighed and looked at the city that once belonged to him with a complex expression, and left an order to retreat in the guild chat.

Black Dragon Guild players felt unjust as they boarded the ship to leave this island.

After Black Dragon King left, Sanguine Warflag caressed his chin and said, “Fearless, I think your pig farm plan was quite a good idea.”

“Haha!” Fearless smiled and replied, “Dream on! I know that the plan can earn me some money, but every City Lord only has ten days’ worth of city sealing authority. Black Dragon King was not familiar with this because he hadn’t been using it. Furthermore, one hundred fifty thousand is not a small number of players. How can we trap them here like that and alert the software company about this? If we went overboard, we might even be the ones losing out. Remember: do not reason with people who set the rules.”
