I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 934 493: Small Temple, Big Demon Winds

Qin Ji knew this, but he didn't understand it deeply. Compared to God Demons, players are more peaceful, and most of the time they just stay at home playing "Path of Civilization," rarely interacting with the outside world unless absolutely necessary.

It is precisely because of this discreet nature that anti-player forces like Qin Ji appeared, but the Da Xuan Dynasty is different. The terror of God Demons is something directly experienced; no one dares to make small moves against the God Demons.

After inspecting the base, Qin Ji hurriedly left with the energy gun blueprints. To him, the most important thing now is to start producing energy guns.

Gu Shanhai not only provided blueprints but also production data and other information. As soon as the factory and assembly line are set up, energy guns can be produced continuously.

Previously, Qin Ji considered giving low-spec versions of the energy guns to other anti-player forces as a return for the funds he had prepared earlier, but now, of course, he can't.

He hadn't expected the power to be so great.

As for breaking the deal? It's all shady transactions anyway, so what if the deal is broken? Once the energy guns are in hand and production ramps up, he will directly incorporate all these anti-player forces, and those who resist will be executed as his contribution.

He doesn't have to worry about production either; Qin Ji has quite a few secret factories. Like the bases, these factories are very hidden and are his private properties.

"The temple is small, but the demon winds are strong." Gu Shanhai chuckled after learning Qin Ji's ideas.

If the players in this world were replaced by players from the "First Era," they would ensure you get your head blown off.

Really think they have such a good temper.

"There's always a difference between players and players, it's just a matter of platforms."

Gu Shanhai views the players in this world more like tools, unlike the players from the "First Era," who are more like employees.

In the "First Era," at least failures in missions would not result in eradication, and missions had no penalties.

Every aspect was a lot freer.

"If not for these restrictions, Qin Ji and the others might not have any power to resist."

"There are many players with kind-hearted personalities, but that's not a reason for them to be taken for granted."

To be honest, the players in this world have the best temperament Gu Shanhai has ever seen.

If the predecessor of the Player Management Bureau, the Transcendent Control Bureau, hadn't gone too far trying to enslave players and kill them to seize their player qualifications, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Those in power, after reaching high positions, naturally have further needs: immortality.

Players happened to possess this and had extremely powerful abilities to better control power, so they sought to acquire it.

At this time, the players' personalities were modified by "Path of Civilization" to be Buddhist and peaceful, focused just on playing games and getting stronger, which made them easy targets—leading to big problems.

After a purging, the Transcendent Control Bureau became the Player Management Bureau, and with time, like Qin Ji and others, they know players are powerful but have no corresponding perception.

It's like knowing that a nuclear bomb is powerful but not knowing how powerful it is, without a direct experience, naturally, it becomes difficult to understand.

"Dr. Gu."

A knocking and shouting was heard from outside the door.

"Come in," Gu Shanhai responded.

It was Zhu Qi, the manager of the whole base, Qin Ji's former confidant.

"Director Qin plans to blow up the entire base, and is currently arranging for the evacuation of materials, but I have intercepted it," Zhu Qi said calmly.

Qin Ji wants to blow up the base, certainly to silence and erase traces. He feels bad for the whole base, so he plans to evacuate some materials bit by bit to reduce loss.

"That fellow is a real fool, doing it this way and not even afraid of leaving traces." Gu Shanhai was helpless, how has Qin Ji become increasingly odd.

If thinking of silencing and erasing traces, one must be decisive.

Even such a large base can be abandoned, yet thinking of moving resources; isn't he afraid of causing problems for such small gains?

"You've done very well, make sure he doesn't take anything." Gu Shanhai didn't care much about those resources; the main reason for this action was to disgust Qin Ji.

If the other side fails to evacuate, it will surely hurt again.

"Yes, Doctor!"

"There is another matter, it seems the Player Management Bureau has already detected the base. According to intelligence, someone may be coming to investigate soon."

"My suggestion is to capture them."

Of course, Zhu Qi wouldn't come to report to Gu Shanhai for a trivial issue regarding Qin Ji.

"Exposed? How did it happen?" Gu Shanhai wasn't too concerned with this minor issue; whether the Player Management Bureau knows or the whole world knows, it's just the same.

"Initial suspicion points to Director Qin as the cause."

"After all, the only person who can directly reach the base is Director Qin," implying Zhu Qi suspecting it's Qin Ji, the incompetent teammate, who did it.

Whether resources or equipment, they undergo multiple processes like transfer and cleansing before entering the base, making tracking very difficult; not confident in positioning since both resources and equipment carry electronic blocking devices to isolate most positioning apparatuses.

Moreover, those few effective positioning devices couldn't possibly be used on these inconspicuous, legitimately sourced, and small-volume resources.

These resources are purchased in batches, shipped from multiple lines, leaving no room for error in the cleansing process.

Therefore, the possibility might be Qin Ji's own dirty deeds exposed, leading to an investigation.

"Then let's capture them first, and find out from them how it happened." Gu Shanhai didn't resort to Spiritual Sense probing, nor did he consider Soul Search to solve it.

He's not too bothered, there's hardly any conflict of interest with him.

It's almost the month's end, the world is about to be destroyed by him, why care so much?

"I'll immediately arrange for capture," Zhu Qi naturally had no objections.

If it were a direct kill, he wouldn't need to inform Gu Shanhai. In previous times when guarding the base, he killed many adventurers and extreme survivalists who accidentally discovered the base.

Capturing them and leaving them to sun or freeze to death in the wild, then finding an opportunity to dump them at the edge of the uninhabited area, and calling to report the case: you can orchestrate this yourself.

This method maximizes clearing suspicions, then aligning a bit with the Player Management Bureau's authority, it quickly gets suppressed.

This also has an advantage: warning many restless people who want to come here to explore, though not leading to extinction, it has been steady over the years.

Except for those who gain publicity by challenging limits, or extreme figures, almost no one comes.

In general, as long as the base isn't discovered, Zhu Qi wouldn't intentionally cause fatal injuries, just give a lesson and convey the dangers of the uninhabited area through this group.

After Zhu Qi's response, he naturally left to prepare.

"Another day and still restless," Gu Shanhai sighed, why do all these odd things keep happening?

"Could the world be aware of something, hence sending someone to test?"

At this moment, a whim struck Gu Shanhai, considering this matter.

"Hiss~ there's really that possibility."

"No way, the plan must speed up, to avoid undue delay."

Gu Shanhai thinks this is the world-ending plan, how could there be no reaction... well, there's a possibility of lack of reaction, after all, Gu Shanhai's actions are rather concealed.
