55: Chapter 55 Lingxiao Pavilion booked out? Account banned immediately.

Once the entrance to the Elf Secret Realm opened, Luofeng Village exploded with activity again.

In front of that emerald-green light gate at the village entrance, it was packed with people and queues.

"Need a healer for levels ten to twenty!"

"Archers prioritized! Whether we get a hidden class depends on this run!"

"Stop pushing in the back!"

The number of people on the queue panel was still skyrocketing.

Lin Zhe stood on the earthen slope, his expression calm.

Ling Xi stood by his side, watching waves of players rush into the secret realm, a faint light in her eyes as well.

But the excitement didn't last long before trouble broke out at the dungeon entrance.

A group of players wearing Lingxiao Pavilion tags suddenly squeezed out from the crowd.

One, two, ten, twenty...

More people kept coming from behind.

They were led by several veteran core members of Lingxiao Pavilion, who usually enjoyed a lot of prestige in the village due to being the first to obtain access to Luofeng Village.

This time, they had clearly let it go to their heads.

"Everyone, move aside!"

"Lingxiao Pavilion is reserving the area!"

"For today's Elf Secret Realm, our people go in first!"

The tall, thin assassin leading them stood right at the dungeon entrance, raising a hand to push away the two solo players at the front of the line.

A Lingxiao Pavilion mage beside him sneered, "Want to enter the dungeon? Sure, the ticket price is five hundred copper coins per person."

"If you don't have the money, go to the back of the line!"

Instantly, the dungeon entrance erupted in chaos.

"By what right?"

"Is your Lingxiao Pavilion crazy?"

"Didn't we agree to queue according to the rules before!"

But those core members of Lingxiao Pavilion didn't care at all.

"Rules?"

"We are the guild that collaborated with Big Shot Lin the earliest!"

"What's wrong with having a little priority?"

"Everyone step back! Today, let the fifty-plus members of Lingxiao Pavilion finish their runs first!"

As they spoke, another group of Lingxiao Pavilion members surrounded them from behind.

Over fifty experts completely blocked the entrance to the Elf Secret Realm.

A few solo players who tried to argue were immediately pushed back, stumbling.

Some were so angry their faces turned red, and they immediately ran toward the earthen slope.

"Go find Little Archon Lin!"

"Lingxiao Pavilion wants to reserve the area!"

On the slope, Lin Chen was holding a piece of Spirit Fruit, nibbling on it in small bites.

Hearing this, his little face suddenly darkened.

"Lingxiao Pavilion?"

Xing Jianwan also frowned instantly.

She was the Honorary President of Lingxiao Pavilion, but she knew even better that the rules of Luofeng Village were not to be touched.

Lin Zhe didn't speak, only casting a faint glance at the dungeon entrance.

In the next second, the golden mark on Lin Chen's forehead flashed.

Rule Perception spread out.

The information of those fifty-plus Lingxiao Pavilion members in front of the dungeon entrance instantly lit up.

Selling tickets, driving away solo players, blocking the entrance.

Every action was crystal clear.

Lin Chen spoke in his childish voice; it wasn't loud, but it instantly spread across the dungeon entrance.

"Who gave you permission to reserve the area?"

When those core members of Lingxiao Pavilion looked up, their expressions changed on the spot.

But before they could explain, Lin Chen had already raised his small hand.

"Ban."

Hum—

A golden light instantly swept across the entrance of the Elf Secret Realm.

In the next second, a crimson notification popped up in front of all fifty-plus Lingxiao Pavilion members simultaneously.

[Notification: You have severely disrupted the order of the Luofeng Village dungeon.]

[Penalty: Access to the Elf Secret Realm is revoked.]

[Penalty: Access to the Luofeng Secret Realm is revoked.]

[Penalty: All current dungeon permissions are banned.]

"What?!"

"My entrance qualification is gone!"

"Holy crap, my panel turned gray!"

The tall, thin assassin leading them still tried to hold his ground, shouting through gritted teeth, "We are Lingxiao Pavilion—"

"If you keep making noise, you won't even be allowed in the village."

Lin Chen added in his childish voice.

The man shut up instantly, his back drenched in cold sweat.

But it wasn't over yet.

Lin Chen kept a stern face and added another sentence.

"Lingxiao Pavilion has failed in its supervision."

"Fined three months' worth of rare materials, to be turned over to the public warehouse."

The whole place fell silent.

Immediately following that, the world channel and local channel exploded simultaneously.

"Three months of rare materials?"

"This penalty is too harsh!"

"They deserve it! Who told them to seek special privileges!"

"Little Archon Lin is awesome!"

The solo players who had just been driven away clapped and cheered on the spot.

"Good ban!"

"Still selling tickets? Keep selling them then!"

"I told you, Luofeng Village is not a place where guilds get special privileges!"

The fifty-plus Lingxiao Pavilion members at the dungeon entrance were all frozen in place, their faces turning blue and white.

They had originally intended to make a killing using the name of being the earliest collaborators.

In the end, they kicked a steel plate.

When the news reached the Lingxiao Pavilion headquarters, the entire guild exploded.

When Guild Leader Gu Changfeng saw the penalty announcement, his face turned black on the spot.

"Who gave them the courage?!"

Beside him, the Vice Guild Leader finished explaining the situation with a heavy heart, and Gu Changfeng was so angry he smashed the corner of the table with a palm strike.

"I said long ago that no one can touch the rules of Luofeng Village!"

"They used the guild's name to sell tickets?"

"They're looking for death!"

In the next second, an announcement popped up in the guild channel.

[Lingxiao Pavilion Announcement: All core members involved are expelled.]

[Effective immediately, their guild status is permanently revoked.]

The guild tags above the heads of those Lingxiao Pavilion members still dazed at the dungeon entrance vanished on the spot.

When the surrounding players saw this, they were even more delighted.

"Kicked!"

"The Lingxiao Pavilion Guild Leader is really panicking this time!"

Not long after, Gu Changfeng personally arrived.

Still with that humble posture.

Still with generous gifts.

Several crates of rare materials, plus a carefully prepared apology list—not a single thing was missing.

He walked to the earthen slope and first bowed his head to Lin Zhe and Lin Chen.

"Mr. Lin, Little Archon Lin."

"This time, it was Lingxiao Pavilion's lack of discipline."

"I have already kicked all those involved out of the guild."

"Lingxiao Pavilion will make up the fined materials today."

"If anyone else dares to seek special privileges in Luofeng Village in the future, you won't need to act; I will handle it personally."

Xing Jianwan stood to the side with a cold expression, not speaking up for the guild either.

Gu Changfeng had indeed come to admit his mistake this time.

Lin Chen stared at him for two seconds before speaking in his childish voice.

"Just remember that."

"Luofeng Village is not owned by any family."

"solo players and guilds are the same in the queue."

Gu Changfeng immediately nodded: "Understood."

Only then did Lin Zhe speak faintly: "Clear the way."

"Yes."

Gu Changfeng turned around to clear the area, completely driving the few involved accounts still lingering at the entrance out of the dungeon zone.

Soon, order was restored at the entrance of the Elf Secret Realm.

The queue moved forward again.

Most of the anger of the solo players dissipated.

The world channel was filled with cheers.

"Big Shot Lin's family really slaps the face of anyone who tries to get special privileges!"

"They don't even give face to Lingxiao Pavilion, their earliest collaborator. Now that's what I call fairness!"

"Who would dare to mess around in Luofeng Village in the future?"

Ling Xi stood beside Lin Zhe, looking at the now-quiet dungeon entrance, a bit more brightness appearing in her eyes.

The most terrifying thing here wasn't the abundance of benefits.

It was that the rules actually worked.

Below the slope, the queuing players began to move again.

And that emerald-green light gate of the Elf Secret Realm remained quietly lit, waiting for the next batch of people to go in and try their luck.
