Chapter 533: Chapter 533
Please select the teleportation target:
Main City: [Cyan Dragon City] [Black Tortoise City] [Vermilion Bird City] [White Tiger City] [Floating City]
Tribe: [Cyclops Race] [Winged Race] [Lizardman Race] [Goblin Cave] [Werewolf Village]...
Teleport Point: [Ding’an Village] [Chaotic Stone Ridge] [Land of Ice and Snow] [Rainforest Wetland]...
Lin Yi looked at the names on the Teleportation Array and chose: [White Tiger City].
A flash of white light, and Lin Yi disappeared from the Elf Race village, appearing around the White Tiger City teleportation array in the icy snow.
At this time, White Tiger City was no longer the desolate place Lin Yi first stepped into. The area around the teleportation array was packed with players.
Voices of vendors, team-ups for grinding dungeons, and exclamations and discussions could be heard:
"Look, isn’t that Feng Hua!"
Even though this was a game, Lin Yi had all senses fully open, yet wearing a Mage Robe, he still felt a hint of cold.
Lin Yi instinctively lowered the brim of his hat and walked on the thick snow towards "Cuiming Building" in North City of White Tiger City.
It’s a tavern, and when Lin Yi came to the door of private room No. 103 and opened it, a wave of heat hit him:
"Yo, Feng Hua is here, please come in."
Zui Gui grinned as he came forward, and Lin Yi looked around the private room, appearing a bit surprised:
"Quite a few people came."
Currently sitting in the room is the President of Hua Country War Zone’s largest guild [Proud Sanctuary], Lord;
The second-ranked guild [Shengshi Dynasty] President, Shengshi Zui Gui;
The third-ranked guild [Famous Clan] President, Famous Clan Kun Shao;
The newly ranked fourth [Divine Hall] President Luoshen Liunian and Vice President Divine Hall Madman;
Fifth-ranked [Ice and Snow Illusion City] President Phantom City Xia Haitang.
Also, big figures from [Qingyi Pavilion], [Hall of Fame], and [Heavenly Dao Alliance] and so on.
In the whole large private room, there was not an unknown figure. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI~Fire.net
Even if not a guild president, they were renowned figures among independent players,
Lin Yi was somewhat startled seeing such a big scene:
"What’s going on here?"
Upon logging in, Lin Yi was summoned here by Lord.
He didn’t expect these people to all be here, nor did he know why they gathered.
But seeing such a scene, it likely had something to do with today’s opening of the [National War].
Later, Zui Gui’s words verified Lin Yi’s guess as Zui Gui said:
"This time, we gathered here to discuss guarding the Border City."
Lin Yi felt a stir in his heart: Here it comes!
In the previous life, the Eight Border Cities of Hua Country War Zone were dominated by several major guilds of the time, leaving ordinary players out of the picture.
Lin Yi once heard that these Eight Border Cities had already been divided among the major guilds before the [National War] opened. The city guard slots were predetermined, leaving ordinary players with no say.
How they privately divided this share among themselves was unknown to anyone.
It was only known that the city guard slots of the Eight Border Cities were controlled by them, and ordinary players dared not speak out due to their immense power.
Lin Yi also once complained about it.
However, as an ordinary player back then, no one paid attention to him.
Unexpectedly, in this life, he surprisingly became one of them.
This dramatic shift in identity truly makes one marvel at the wonders of fate.
The tables and chairs in the private room were centered around a round table, with a dozen chairs placed on either side.
From the moment Lin Yi entered, everyone in the private room stood up, clearly showing the guild presidents sitting around the center round table.
There was only one notable independent player whom Lin Yi had heard of but didn’t know personally.
The others sat on the prepared chairs on both sides.
Though it’s just a game, Lin Yi saw a strong sense of the underworld in the layout of the tables and chairs.
At this moment, Zui Gui pointed to the chief seat of the round table, jokingly:
"Come on, our number one in Hua Country War Zone."
"If you don’t come, we can’t proceed with this matter."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh:
"I say, with you game moguls here, is it necessary to make fun of me ?"
Still, Lin Yi wasn’t polite; he sat up directly, then said:
"Let me state in advance; no matter what you’re discussing, since I’m here, I’ll join in the fun. Just pretend I don’t exist."
Lord on the side chuckled:
"Even if someone pretends, it’s impossible to pretend you don’t exist."
Truly, given Feng Hua’s current fame in the game, it’s hard for anyone to ignore him even if they want to.
Not just in the game; in reality, the game’s posters featuring Feng Hua were plastered all over the streets.
For the game company, no one was more suitable than Feng Hua for game promotion, in both image (equipment) and actual influence.
Tian Ci and others often joked about it, saying the game officials didn’t pay for this endorsement, exploiting him for free!
Mu Lingxue beside him was watching the fun:
"You really are being modest."
Lin Yi helplessly looked at her:
"Don’t join in the fun now."
Then Lin Yi quickly changed the topic:
"Well, go on with what you were doing, I want to see what you’re up to gathering here."
Although Lin Yi roughly figured out their purpose, he never witnessed such a gathering, so he took this opportunity to see what those bigwigs were discussing.
Then, Luoshen Liunian stood up:
"Let me continue with our previous discussion."
At the same time, a map of Hua Country War Zone appeared on one wall of the private room, along with the marked Eight Border Cities.
Luoshen Liunian said:
"Based on our previous thought process, these Eight Border Cities will be guarded by the top 16 guilds of our guild power ranking."
"We’ll pair guilds as follows: No. 1 + No. 16, No. 2 + No. 15, each guild holding half the guard slots for 24-hour shifts. Does anyone have any objections?"
At this moment, a Titan Warrior named ’Jiangdong Yige’ stood up and asked:
"But what about us independent players with this distribution plan?"
Luoshen Liunian, as if expecting the question, casually said:
"We’re here to discuss what proportion to allocate to independent players and how to manage them."
At this moment, everyone focused on Lin Yi, catching him off guard:
Luoshen Liunian smiled slyly:
"Next, let’s hear Feng Hua’s thoughts on it."
Although Lin Yi only listened for a couple of lines,
Clearly, this issue was discussed before but wasn’t resolved.
Hence, the scene Lin Yi witnessed now.
Their purpose was simple: they wanted Lin Yi to be the representative for independent players or to be the ’bad guy.’
In this game, it was indisputable that Feng Hua was the most influential and capable of winning hearts in the Hua Country War Zone.
And the words Lin Yi would say next might dictate the quota for independent players.
No matter how fair or unfair, no one would protest simply because it came from Feng Hua’s mouth.
Lin Yi instantly grasped the situation and couldn’t help but smile wryly:
"You’re setting me up, aren’t you!"
