33: Chapter 33 Monopolizing the Dungeon? Kick him out immediately.
As soon as the dungeon opened, the entrance to the Luofeng Secret Realm completely exploded with activity.
Long lines of teams formed.
Solo players, guilds, lifestyle players, and newcomers who had transferred servers were all crowding in front of the dungeon portal.
Everyone knew that this place was a gold mine right now.
Clearing it guaranteed a green item drop, lucky players could get blue ones, and even purple equipment had already been looted.
But just as everyone was pushing forward with red eyes, a group of people suddenly stood across the path.
Twenty people.
All of them were level 8 to 10.
They all wore the same guild mark on their chests: [Batian Alliance].
The burly warrior leading them slammed his greatsword into the ground in front of the dungeon entrance, his voice silencing the surrounding area.
"Everyone stop right there!"
"From now on, the entrance to the Luofeng Secret Realm is under the control of the Batian Alliance!"
"Want to enter the dungeon? Pay a toll of one hundred copper coins first!"
"If you don't have money, get to the back of the line!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the solo players in line exploded.
"On what grounds?"
"The dungeon belongs to Luofeng Village, what does it have to do with you Batian Alliance!"
"Charging a toll? Are you crazy!"
A level 5 solo mage just stepped forward, only to be shoved aside by someone from the Batian Alliance.
"Less talk!"
"If you keep whining, we'll throw you out!"
Another female priest tried to lead her team in, but was also blocked.
"Get lost! Can't you see the Batian Alliance is working?"
"No one enters today without paying!"
With twenty people blocking the entrance and brandishing their weapons, their presence actually intimidated the crowd.
Several solo players were angry but dared not speak.
With the dungeon entrance right in front of them, no one wanted to get beaten up and lose their gear.
Some gritted their teeth and paid.
Others were so angry their faces turned blue.
Still others turned and rushed toward the dirt slope.
"Go find Big Shot Lin!"
"Find the Little Archon Lin!"
"Those bastards want to monopolize the dungeon!"
When the news reached the dirt slope, Lin Zhe was standing there, checking the dungeon data.
Xing Jianwan was holding Lin Chen, and her expression immediately turned cold.
"The Batian Alliance?"
"They have some nerve."
Lin Chen had been munching on spirit fruit cubes, but upon hearing this, his little face stiffened.
"Blocking the dungeon entrance?"
"And charging solo players?"
With that one sentence, delivered in his milky voice, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
The solo player who came to report the news nodded hurriedly.
"Yes! They have twenty people blocking it!"
"They won't let anyone in without paying, and they're hitting people!"
Lin Chen raised his little hand; without even standing up, he just gave a light tap in the direction of the Luofeng Secret Realm.
Hum—
A pale golden ripple of rules instantly swept across the entire dungeon entrance.
The next second, the twenty Batian Alliance members blocking the entrance all changed expressions simultaneously.
[Notification: You have been stripped of access to the Luofeng Secret Realm by the Archon of Luofeng Village.]
[Notification: Dungeon access for all members of the guild "Batian Alliance" has been banned.]
[Penalty: Immediate expulsion from the current area.]
"What?"
"My access to the dungeon is gone!"
"Damn! My panel is greyed out!"
"Didn't the guild leader say it was a sure thing!"
Before they could finish cursing, a golden light suddenly swept in front of the dungeon entrance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The twenty people were like they had been grabbed by an invisible giant hand, sent flying backward along with their weapons.
Some slammed into grass pits.
Some rolled into ditches.
Two were even bounced all the way back to the dirt road outside the village entrance, landing in a daze.
Immediately after, another scarlet notification plastered their faces.
[The core members of the Batian Alliance blocking the entrance have been permanently expelled from Luofeng Village.]
[Re-entry prohibited.]
The dungeon entrance was silent for a moment.
The next second, the solo players exploded.
"Well banned!"
"Hahahaha! Still collecting money? Keep collecting!"
"Little Archon Lin is awesome!"
"The Batian Alliance has really become a joke now!"
The few solo teams that had been blocked outside rushed into the dungeon queue area on the spot, their faces full of satisfaction.
Several guild players who had been waiting behind them also felt their scalps tingle.
Twenty people.
Banned just like that.
Kicked just like that.
There wasn't even a chance to reason.
At the same time, a red message suddenly popped up on the world channel.
[Batian Alliance Leader: Lin Zhe is just an NPC, what right does he have to manage players' affairs? The dungeon belongs to everyone, who does he think he is!]
As soon as this message appeared, the world channel went quiet for half a second.
The next moment, Lin Chen raised his little hand again.
"Noisy."
Hum!
[Notification: Player "Batian Liede" has maliciously provoked the rules of Luofeng Village.]
[Penalty: Muted for 30 days.]
[Penalty: Immobilized for 24 hours.]
[Penalty effective immediately.]
On the dirt road outside the village, the Batian Alliance leader, who was preparing to continue typing, suddenly stiffened.
He was frozen in place.
He could open his mouth, but couldn't send any words.
His skill bar was completely greyed out.
He couldn't even move.
It was just like a wooden stake stuck on the side of the road.
The world channel went wild with laughter.
"Wooden Stake Leader is online!"
"He just finished talking tough and got muted, I'm dying of laughter!"
"24-hour immobilization? That's too harsh!"
"Who dares to insult Big Shot Lin and his son anymore?"
At the dungeon entrance, the representatives of several other guilds who had also intended to block the door, camp positions, or sell slots all fell silent.
They all felt a chill down their spines.
Especially the people from the War Soul Alliance and the Hundred Flowers Palace, who immediately issued strict orders in their guild channels.
"Everyone listen up, you are not allowed to steal dungeon slots from solo players!"
"Anyone who dares to block the entrance will be kicked from the guild immediately!"
"Wait in line to enter the dungeon, help solo players form teams, and don't cause trouble for me!"
Soon, the atmosphere changed completely.
The guild members who had been crowding the entrance actually took a step back voluntarily.
"Solo players, if you're a group of four looking for one, come here!"
"Our team has a healer, we can take two solo players into the normal dungeon!"
"Don't rush, queue in order!"
The dungeon entrance, which had been tense just a moment ago, smoothed out in the blink of an eye.
The solo players watched this scene, and the awe in their eyes deepened.
Lin Zhe stood on the dirt slope, his expression unchanged.
He hadn't made a move.
He hadn't even said an extra word.
Yet, in the entire Luofeng Village, who could enter the dungeon and who had to get lost was already decided by a single word from the Lin family.
Xing Jianwan looked down at Lin Chen in her arms, her lips curving slightly.
"Little one, you're getting faster and faster with your actions."
Lin Chen hummed in his milky voice.
"Whoever dares to bully solo players gets kicked out."
In front of the dungeon entrance, the queue of people began to move again.
As for those guilds that had originally wanted to follow the Batian Alliance's example, they were now as well-behaved as could be, even looking at the dungeon entrance with caution.
