Meetings of all sizes are held non-stop!

“He’s not asleep; it looks like… he’s in a coma?”

Zhou Yue and Bai Youyou stood by Yang Jian’s bed, looking at the man who wouldn’t wake up, feeling a bit troubled!

“What should we do? Let’s send him to the hospital first!”

Bai Youyou sighed.

“No need to send him to the hospital! Can’t you tell? It’s the same symptoms as last time—he’s over-exhausted his mental energy!”

“Mental energy? He has skills that require mental energy? You’re a mage, and it seems even you don’t have skills that consume mental energy, do you?”

“Last time he slept for about six hours; will it be that long this time too?”

“Probably… right?”

Hearing Zhou Yue’s words, the other two women’s moods were quite subtle!

Unexpectedly, just as various armies were gathering to demand an explanation from Star Palace.

Yang Jian actually fell ill!

Bai Youyou reached out and felt Yang Jian’s forehead; thankfully, he didn’t have a fever!

“Then… what about Zhenhai City?”

“What do you mean, what about it? Haven’t we already discussed it? Of course, we’ll proceed as planned!”

Zhou Yue sat by Yang Jian’s head, adjusted the air conditioning temperature, and put his hand back under the covers!

At this moment, Mo Suqing’s voice came from the phone.

“Xiao Yue, don’t act on impulse. If these five or six thousand reinforcements come over, they probably won’t leave! The 10 gold coins teleportation fee per person is no joke…”

“Then what do you suggest? Start backing down now?”

Zhou Yue retorted.

“We can’t back down…”

Mo Suqing’s words were a bit contradictory!

But everyone understood what she was trying to express!

“Currently, the rogue players in Xia Country are also furious and actively organizing to fight this battle! If we back down first, we will not only squander our early advantage but also lose the trust of Xia Country players, which will be very detrimental to the guild’s future development!”

“Can we stall?”

“Forget it, no stalling! Let’s do what needs to be done! Yang Jian’s situation shouldn’t be serious; he could wake up at any time!”

At this moment, Zhou Yue made up her mind!

“Hmph, it’s about time I let them know my strength…”

Bai Youyou somewhat knew that Zhou Yue was extraordinary, while Mo Suqing was quite curious!

“What strength?”

“The second strongest in the world…”

Bai Youyou: … Mo Suqing: … “So, what exactly happened to the Guild Leader? At least let us know something?”

“He should be starting to… ‘evolve’!”

As her words fell, the scene was utterly silent!

They said they wouldn’t stall!

But in fact, the stalling tactic was still employed by the three Vice Guild Leaders of Star Palace.

Facing the demands for promises and compensation from various East Asia countries, Zhou Yue adopted a non-responsive attitude.

Everything hadn’t been brought to the table yet.

salvation, at its core, was still a game.

Although the officials had obtained some evidence proving that this game was unusual!

But they didn’t want to get involved now and alert these small countries.

Moreover, these ordinary player forces were not qualified to negotiate with the Xia Country officials… The current situation was this:

At 6:00 AM game time, the player associations of multiple East Asia countries issued a notice to the Star Palace in Zhenhai City, demanding an apology and compensation for their actions in encircling and killing foreign players.

And promised that all countries would collectively own Zhenhai City.

Otherwise, they would organize two thousand reinforcements of level 12 and above to teleport to Zhenhai City… It was already past 8:00 AM!

As of now, no one had paid them any attention!

Mo Suqing: What two thousand reinforcements of level 12 and above? They don’t even have two thousand players of level 12 and above in total… Bai Youyou: So, they haven’t made a move yet?

Zhou Yue: Isn’t no movement a good thing? It just gives Yang Jian time to wake up, and he can clean up this mess himself.

Mo Suqing: I guess we can’t wait any longer… In an online conference room.

The guild leaders of various small East Asia countries gathered there!

“Everyone, do we really want to offend Xia Country for a game… a city in a game?”

The representative from Little Japan smiled.

“Mr. Mu’s words are incorrect. Precisely because it’s just a game, there’s no such thing as offending or not offending…”

“My name is Mohammed, not Mr. Mu…”

“Hey, Sumimasen!”

Who cares about your Sumimasen… “However… gentlemen, whether this game is truly related to the apocalypse and salvation, having one more Main City is beneficial to all of you present, with no harm whatsoever…”

These words silenced everyone in the meeting!

Rough words, but true!

“We can’t send that many people… Rogue players can’t be commanded, and if we send our own people out, we’ll have even less of a chance in the struggle for Gaoshan City!”

“Us too… The struggle for West Pole City is in full swing; we can’t send our main force out at this time…”

“Gentlemen, we have received confirmation from our American daddy that the Four Great Nations have each sent two hundred thousand regular troops into the game… And we… have been kept in the dark! The current struggle is for ourselves…”

The online conference room was silent.

After the meeting, various familiar or unfamiliar small groups began holding smaller meetings!

“Anyway, since we’re all in the Eastern Continent, all cities will eventually be interconnected. Sending some people over now is good. Star Palace can’t possibly kill all our people, can they?”

“Exactly, and it also frees up some upgrade resources for West Pole City! There are too many people out in the wilderness here!”

“What if they do kill everyone?”

“What?”

The one who just mentioned too many people laughed!

“How is that possible?”

“What if?”

The person’s smile gradually froze on his face.

“There are so many of us…”

“So what? Haven’t we still been bullied by Xia Country for three thousand years?”

The meeting fell silent.

Conversely, the attitudes of Little Japan and Little Xi Ba were very consistent.

“We’ll send 1200 people, all level 12 and above…”

“We can only send 800…”

“No, 1200, not one less?”

“Why?”

“Heh heh! You think I don’t know? By sending four hundred fewer people than us, you’ll gain a greater advantage in Dongji City, won’t you?”

“Don’t slander me!”

“I’m slandering you, what are you going to do about it?”

“I don’t care, I can only afford to send 800 people!”

“If you send eight hundred, I’ll send eight hundred too. What if I send four hundred more and you backstab me?”

“Don’t forget, it was your American daddy who hinted at you to seize Zhenhai City!”

“Heh heh… Isn’t he your daddy too?”

“Don’t mention it, America can only occupy three Main Cities in the West Continent, while Xia Country, in such a gathering place of heroes as the Eastern Continent, actually occupies four cities alone. No wonder daddy is angry…”

“Heh, your daddy sent regular troops to play the game without telling you, and you’re still proud?”

“Your daddy…”

“Your daddy!”

Little Japan and Little Xi Ba were arguing fiercely.

Xia Country’s Rift and Salvation Emergency Response Committee was also holding a seven-person small meeting.

“Amazing… Daring to think and act, they actually besieged them for a whole day and night?”

Team Leader Chen of the military group said with emotion.

“I’m old; it’s truly the era of young people now! To be honest, if I had to give that order, I’d have to ponder for several days!”

Hu Mingwei wasn’t surprised.

“As long as you truly treat this as a game, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“Then do they really know the inside story?”

“How could they not know? It’s almost certain now that players on the leaderboard are at least Orange Talents, or teams with Purple Talents! Ordinary Talents simply can’t keep up with the pace…”

Team Leader Chen nodded in agreement!

“So look at that outstanding young Yang, and then look at young Zhou who’s off the leaderboard… The younger generation is formidable!”

He was also playing this game, with a Purple Talent!

To reach his current height, his strength, temperament, and luck couldn’t be poor!

He reasonably suspected that he should have an Orange or even Gold Talent… It was just that his age led to a decline in talent!

Of course, he was still lucky.

At least, even though he was fifty-eight, he still managed to enter the game!

Now it seems that being able to enter the game a step earlier already put him a big step ahead of everyone else.

“They definitely know, and the high-ranking members of Star Palace all have high talents…”

“Then can we…”

“Don’t bring that up…”

Instantly, the few people present fell silent for a few seconds, all looking at Team Leader Wu Ming of the Logistics Support Group who had just brought up the topic, and then naturally skipped over it!

“What we need to discuss now is, if these countries really send support, what do we do? Do we intervene?”

“Haven’t we already arranged for a new batch of level ten players to all go to Zhenhai City? I believe that many people should be enough!”

“I have an opinion. Have you considered why Star Palace dared to go to war so decisively? What confidence do they have? Perhaps… they don’t need us to interfere at all!”

“Over two hundred thousand people, focusing on occupying Chang’an City and Jinling City, but also needing to send twenty thousand each to Black Dragon City and Zhenhai City. They can help out in critical moments and also mediate!”

Hearing this, Fifth Elder looked around at the people in the meeting.

“What are the others’ opinions?”

“Agreed!”

“Agreed!”

… “Team Leader Chen! Arrange two divisions for Zhenhai City and two divisions for Black Dragon City! In these two places, keep a low profile! Focus on civilian forces, and we will focus on developing and occupying Chang’an and Jinling cities!”

“Yes!” × 6

“Additionally, young Hu! Guide public opinion, try to guide some rogue players to Zhenhai City to help out…”

“Yes!”

“The three continents of East, West, and North. North and South America are in the West Continent, and America only occupies three Main Cities. The European Union and the Polar Bear are together in the North Continent, each occupying three Main Cities!”

“We occupy four cities alone in the Eastern Continent, so it’s no wonder they feel resentful and stir up trouble in secret…”

Australia is sparsely populated, and Africa is impoverished.

These two areas combined don’t even have five hundred thousand players and are scattered and placed!

All three continents were options.

However, they all tacitly chose the West Continent or the North Continent!

No one dared to test the waters in the East Asia gladiatorial arena!

They originally thought today would pass peacefully, just like yesterday.

Unexpectedly, at noon, 12:00 PM game time… the situation suddenly changed!

The various forces, originally hesitant and wavering, all led their teams to the teleportation array and arrived at Zhenhai City.

Little Xi Ba and Little Japan each sent over 1300 people.

India, Israel, the Philippines, the Black Triangle… some sent nearly a thousand people, while others had three to five hundred!

They continuously arrived via the teleportation array!

Hu Mingwei couldn’t reach Yang Jian and sent a message to Mo Suqing.

The three great nations had all made their move… They didn’t do anything else, they just gave a large sum of money to the countries that had ideas of sending troops, along with some vague promises!

We all have three cities, why do you get four Main Cities?

Give them back, and we’re still good brothers… Fifth Elder laughed in exasperation when he heard the news.

How many brain cells did it take to come up with such a malicious trick?

I don’t target any civilian groups, I even support them… It’s their freedom to choose where they want to settle as their Main City!

I didn’t send troops to conquer the city… I just gave these homeless poor people a little financial help, helping them pay for the teleportation fees they couldn’t afford before… The money given allowed each person to buy a hundred or so gold coins!

Don’t talk about the apocalypse and how money is useless, that’s nonsense!

Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, I still have to pay for my daily necessities today… So, money can command ghosts and even reach the gods!

In fact, if you look closely, Xia Country also provided enough convenience in handling the land in Yun Province.

It also doesn’t count as a violation of rules… The guards of the major Main Cities are all level sixty NPCs!

For current players, they are ridiculously strong!

Under the suppression of the rules, even if their offense and defense were not as strong as Yang Jian’s.

They could still crush Yang Jian now!

Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble inside the city… But a major battle was on the verge of breaking out outside the city!
