152: Pre-war preparations

"Brother Wudi, please help me!"

Overlord Invincible suddenly received a message from Li Feifei, and instantly frowned.

He was already overwhelmed with his own problems; how could he have time to bother with such trivial matters?

"Brother Wudi, my dad bought shares of Ba Tian Group, but now the Stock Price has fallen, and my family can't come up with any extra money!"

Overlord Invincible knew at a glance that Li Guoqing must have bought at a high price. Now that the price had dropped, selling would mean losing everything. Li Feifei was just here to fish for information.

"Don't worry, the Stock Price of Ba Tian Group will rise soon!"

Although the Li Clan's purchased shares wouldn't be significant, this could still help calm the hearts of some Shareholders.

After all, even though the Li Clan was nothing compared to Ba Tian Group, they still knew a fair number of people.

As long as they could steady the hearts of this group, at least the group's situation wouldn't get worse.

"Really? I knew Brother Wudi was the best!"

Hearing this news, Li Feifei's anxious heart relaxed considerably.

However, she still didn't let her guard down. More options meant more security.

This was no longer just about her alone; it concerned the entire Li Clan.

Li Guoqing's intention was clear: he still wanted her to get close to Lin Yue.

Originally, the Li Clan's current situation was related to the Lin Clan. Now that Ba Tian Group was also unstable, the Lin Clan seemed more reliable.

"How about... arranging a meeting with Lin Yue!"

Li Feifei thought about it but ultimately dismissed the idea.

After the previous incident, the Lin and Li Clans had fallen out. The other side definitely wouldn't agree.

"It seems I'll have to find another way!"

While thinking, Li Feifei began contacting her friends.

She wanted to find some connections through them. If Overlord Invincible proved unreliable, Li Feifei would at least have a fallback option... As for Lin Yue, he had fully delegated the matter of the Guild War to Yun Ruoqing.

Yun Ruoqing took this matter extremely seriously and quickly made arrangements.

This matter no longer required his attention at all; he could focus on his own quests.

Lin Yue arrived at a Swamp, the source of the zombie appearances.

He brought Cai Wenji with him and entered, beginning to search for clues about the zombie source.

The person who exposed this Hidden Quest in his previous life did not write about the quest process in detail.

Therefore, Lin Yue didn't know the specific location either and could only follow the quest guide here.

The Swamp was filled with the smell of decay.

There were also Miasma barriers, and Wild Monsters appeared from time to time.

Although none of this could stop Lin Yue, it did increase the difficulty of his search for clues.

Not wanting to miss any possibility, Lin Yue didn't overlook a single place or a single Wild Monster.

"So where should the clue be?"

Lin Yue searched the entire Swamp but couldn't find the so-called clue.

Was it an Instance, or had Lin Yue missed somewhere?

Hidden Quests really weren't that easy to complete!

This was a message from Feng Yun Young Master Leng, concerning the Guild War.

"White Emperor Boss, I've already made arrangements. Soon, major Media outlets will report on this Guild War."

"This is the first true Guild War in the Land of the Final End, and challenging a top-ten-ranked guild is sure to cause a massive surge in popularity!"

"I've heard that Ba Tian Group has also started planning. Do we have any plans?"

Seeing this message, Lin Yue revealed a long-absent smile.

In the current situation, if White Jade Capital won, it would undoubtedly be a blow to the entire Ba Tian Group.

Then, if he were to take action against Ba Tian Group, it would be effortless.

"Keep hyping it up. It's best to amplify Ba Tian Group's chances of winning, making the public think they will win."

"Elevate Ba Tian Group, downplay White Jade Capital. The higher they stand, the harder they fall!"

Although White Jade Capital's strength was formidable, in the public's eyes, Ba Tian Group was stronger.

After all, it was a top-ten-ranked guild, an existence that other guilds looked up to.

To build up, first tear down; to tear down, first build up.

This move could not only suppress Ba Tian Group but also boost White Jade Capital's Fame.

He was one step closer to his goal of becoming the number one guild under heaven.

Faced with major Media reports about Ba Tian Group, Ba Tian Group also responded.

Their attitude was extremely arrogant, thoroughly disparaging White Jade Capital.

"White Jade Capital only relies on their guild leader, White Emperor. Without him, they are nothing!"

"This time, they've publicly challenged our Overlord Guild. We will make sure they don't return!"

Soon, the Media heavily promoted Ba Tian Group, elevating it to an unprecedented height.

"Young Master Leng, should we buy Ba Tian Group Stock again this time?"

Inside Young Master Leng's office, his secretary stood by, inquiring.

"Buy, of course we buy!"

"Ba Tian Group is already at the end of its rope. We need to give it the final push!"

Having experienced the previous events, the secretary didn't hesitate and immediately went to handle it.

After the Leng Clan Group purchased a large number of shares, Ba Tian Group's Stock Price experienced another crazy surge.

"I told you I wouldn't lose money this time!"

Li Guoqing of the Li Clan watched his Stocks soar wildly, celebrating extravagantly at home.

Li Feifei was also secretly delighted, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

She had already contacted some Wealthy Young Heirs, but it seemed they weren't needed now.

"Young Lord, the situation is looking great. Should we do something?"

In the Overlord Guild's offline meeting room, Tyrant Fire asked for Overlord Invincible's opinion.

"Have you forgotten the lesson from last time? Wait a bit. There's no rush at this moment!"

Overlord Invincible was currently busy improving the Overlord Guild's strength. He knew White Emperor wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't sure of winning.

"Our elite team is no longer what it used to be. In three days, someone should reach Level Forty."

"Acquire some top-tier Level Forty equipment. Don't overlook Skill Books either. Don't worry too much about the price."

The gap between Level Thirty and Level Forty equipment was significant. Each additional Level Forty player meant another advantage for them.

The top tier in the game had already reached Level Thirty-Five. Three days was enough time to reach Level Forty.

The problem now wasn't Rank, but equipment and skills.

Level Forty equipment was easy to get, but top-tier Level Forty equipment was hard to come by.

You should know, top-tier Level Forty equipment was urgently needed at this stage.

Players who possessed top-tier Level Forty equipment wouldn't be in a hurry to sell.

Not only could they use it themselves, but even if they couldn't, they could sell it to High-Level Players for a good price.

"Contact more sellers, increase the monster farming intensity in Level Forty maps."

"Even if we can't have that many top-tier pieces, at least ensure everyone has a few sets of purple rare equipment."

"Equipment can drop in Guild Wars. Keep an extra hand, just in case."

At White Jade Capital headquarters, Yun Ruoqing was also racking her brains over this matter.

"Guild Leader, we're preparing to recruit more people. We're about to hit Level Forty, and we don't have enough equipment!"

Seeing this message, Lin Yue chuckled lightly.

"Don't worry, I've got it all under control!"
