Chapter 335: Bro, That Woman Doesn't Seem Like a Good Person~
[No.6, Chiyo Eine: Deal? See you at Penglai Island in the East Sea in three days!]
[No.4, Sun: Heh, it's settled then. Don't worry, I'll give you a surprise.]
[No.3, Creator: Have you thought this through? Don't act impulsively.]
[No.2, Perfect Life: Long time admirer, haven't met in-game yet. Hope to see you in the real world.]
......
After that golden message uniquely belonging to "Sin" flashed by, it was as if a normal atmosphere had been ignited. Countless players who were usually never seen all appeared simultaneously.
Those who had always borne the name "Sin" weren't just ordinary people - weren't the top players the real bearers of this title?
Almost all the top-ranked players posted messages at the same time, directly lured out by Lu Ce.
These high-level players, who never spoke normally, all had their eyes gleaming when they saw "Sin" speak.
Regardless of their motives, during these few days when the game was temporarily suspended, meeting the legendary number one in the real world would be a good thing.Even some top-ranked players Lu Ce had never seen in-game before took the initiative to speak.
That perpetual second-place holder, Perfect Life, spoke quite politely.
But Lu Ce himself wasn't so polite.
"Heh, still asking if it's real or fake? Of course it's fake!" Lu Ce couldn't help but laugh as he watched the scrolling messages.
Of course, he didn't plan to type this out in the game chat.
He knew these people couldn't possibly harbor any goodwill toward him - they just wanted to watch the show.
So why shouldn't he enjoy the spectacle too?
Mentally recalling the historical tale of the Beacon Fires Fooling the Lords, Lu Ce gave a particularly nasty smile, wondering how many people he could trick this time.
Amusing.
"Honestly, even without that mask, you still look like a beast..." Black Knight couldn't help but comment from the side.
"Oh?" Lu Ce raised his hand to touch his face. "Maybe the mask has influenced me too much."
"Have you considered that maybe you're just naturally not a good person..."
"Shut up!" Lu Ce grabbed the metal sphere and threw it violently.
"Who'd be crazy enough to go play with them so far away? Can't even afford plane tickets. Only an idiot would actually go."
......
"Does he have a screw loose!?"
In the Elder Council, the veins on the Grand Elder's forehead bulged as he looked at the public chat in the game. "Sin's" message nearly gave him a hypertension crisis despite his century of life experience.
Originally, with the world's condemnation of "Sin," the Dragon Group's work had been relatively smooth, quickly publicizing the game's crisis-level dangers.
They were currently discussing with the Dragon Group how to address the international accusations of allegedly harboring Sin's identity.
Before they could even clean up his mess, this bizarre "East Sea Debate" emerged, and Sin actually agreed to it!
"This... doesn't seem like his usual style."
The Grand Elder muttered to himself, but quickly realized the flaw in his thinking - that guy wore different masks every day with different personalities. Who knew what his "usual style" was?
"Haha! It's actually quite good. As the strongest player, how could he back down?" The elder with a voice like Zhang Fei voiced his approval.
"That's not the point! The point is that just by saying this, this gathering of top players in the real world has become inevitable."
"But whether he actually goes or not is completely unknown. We have plans for both scenarios, but not knowing which one will happen is problematic."
"Moreover, having this happen practically on our doorstep is unacceptable..."
Although it was international waters, because of "Sin's" nationality, that island was already a disputed territory bordering on territorial waters.
The Grand Elder's expression darkened. At such a critical time, these top players were all acting like they wanted to watch the world burn.
The new generation is getting more reckless by the day...
"Who first proposed this idea?"
"It was Japan's top player, Chiyo Eine."
"Hmph!" The Grand Elder's eyes turned cold. "That small country's people are always causing trouble..."
"It's a miracle they even have someone in the top ten."
Throughout the Elder Council, whispers spread as they pondered what stance to ultimately take.
The Elder Council was the Dragon Group's Elder Council. In a sense, they were already the highest authority over player organizations within China.
For such matters, their opinion was required.
"I have an idea." A calm voice slowly spoke up from the crowd. After he spoke, everyone quieted down, seemingly waiting for him to continue.
The calm voice continued: "We can have the authorities state they welcome top global players to come, with the Dragon Group willing to host this high-level gathering."
"Then strictly forbid all domestic players from participating."
"And then... when enough people have gathered, consider using nuclear weapons."
Elder Council:......
The air grew deathly silent. The Grand Elder might as well have had a question mark appear above his head. After a long pause, he slowly said:
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."
"But such heaven-defying actions with no clear benefits... let's not do this."
......
Within just thirty hours after the "East Sea Debate" topic emerged, this news had sparked discussions in both the real world and the player community.
"Players" now formed a group without borders or organization, yet were exceptionally numerous.
Through public discussion and the leadership of some top players, they had already mostly finalized the specific timing and format!
Meanwhile, Dragon Group personnel secretly arranged border defenses and contingency plans.
To the Dragon Group, this was another kind of test - whether the real human world could handle large-scale player gatherings and emergencies.
If not, organizations like "Heaven and Earth Society" might become uncontrollable.
During these two days, the strongest player who had only said one word - "Come" - never gave the matter another thought.
Until the second day, when he received a private message in-game.
Opening the game screen in his room, he realized the only person who could message him privately was that woman.
[Blank: Heard you're going to Penglai Island? Be careful.]
[Blank: After that day is my engagement party on another nearby island. Feel free to come - all island facilities will be free for guests.]
Lu Ce: ?
Beside him, a metal sphere slowly rolled over as Black Knight's sinister voice spoke up:
"Bro, that woman saying this now... doesn't seem like a good person."
