Hu Die Lan

Chapter 856 Back to Square One

Whether there was still time to send word to the other main cities, nobody knew. But Yun Zhongmu's command had already been issued, so of course, someone carried it out, and the results were all the same: nobody knew...

The streets looked just like any other street, and the warehouse doors were always tightly shut. Whether the Eagle Regiment had already entered, who could possibly know?

Yun Zhongmu's eyes were practically spitting fire as he glared at the two poor players in front of him, who were not even level ten and were forcibly protected by the system.

"Where are you from?!" Yun Zhongmu finally roared.

The two newbies remained calm. They clearly knew how strong their system protection was, and they unambiguously showed their displeasure at Yun Zhongmu's impolite tone, rolling their eyes and asking, "Where are *you* from?"

"What the hell are the Eagle Regiment guys up to? Speak!" If not for the system protection, Yun Zhongmu's spittle would have been all over their faces.

"There's no need to waste words with them." Han Jia Gongzi sighed from the side, "Just randomly recruit a few people on the street, as long as they teleport, anyone can do such a simple thing. What could they possibly know?"

"Forever..." Yun Zhongmu gritted his teeth, wishing he could eat the man alive.

"I think they've already successfully entered the warehouses in the other main cities. We've wasted too much time going back and forth..." Han Jia Gongzi said.

"It's just over like this?" Yun Zhongmu was unwilling, extremely unwilling. Not to mention Forever, he hadn't even managed to personally kill a single character from the Eagle Regiment, how could he be willing?

"Boss..." Someone from the Ten Guild Alliance came over to advise Yun Zhongmu to calm down. Seeing that these system-protected newbies were definitely not going to be punching bags, they were worried Yun Zhongmu would vent his anger on them.

"What else can we do?" Yun Zhongmu asked Han Jia Gongzi.

"At least they haven't entered this warehouse in front of us yet... I don't think Yingqi Studio would give up on any warehouse," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Are we going to continue to make a fuss about the warehouses?" Yun Zhongmu only felt a headache coming on. More importantly, this game-wide battle activity required a large number of teleportation scrolls to support it. Yun Zhongmu really couldn't bear this high consumption, and he didn't know how much longer he could continue.

"If you want to continue to make trouble for Yingqi Studio, the warehouses are the best place to do it," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Yun Zhongmu fell into hesitation. After several attempts, he finally realized how difficult it was to fight against the studio. First of all, the studio was a force throughout the entire game, while his Ten Guild Alliance was not even the overlord of Moonlit Night City, which was already troublesome enough. The studio had money and equipment, but what did he have... he had people, the most worthless thing in the game, people everywhere. And he couldn't even use all these people, again because of the issue of territory.

"Let me think about it..." Yun Zhongmu felt a bit deflated. In his online gaming struggle career, this was unprecedented.

"Take your time to consider it." Han Jia Gongzi's expression remained normal.

Yun Zhongmu shook his head and gathered some brothers to go hang out.

"It really is that guy!!" Shui Shen resentfully came over at this time. The simple conversation they just had at least confirmed to them that this Forever was indeed the person they expected.

"How do we deal with him?" Lu Ke also came over, glancing at Yun Zhongmu's group, "I think they might be planning to give up. Ordinary people really can't handle this kind of battle. The opponent's studio background is too strong. With teleportation scrolls flying around, how much money can you burn competing with the studio? Moreover, if you mess with someone's warehouse, you're cutting off their source of wealth, they'll smash you with everything they have, even if it means going bankrupt!"

"I do hope they go bankrupt to smash us, then we can easily withdraw. It's just a pity!" Han Jia Gongzi shook his head.

"That guy is too cunning, he tricked us again," Shui Shen said.

"That 'again' of yours is really grating," Han Jia Gongzi scorned him.

"You self-proclaimed extraordinary guy, why didn't you see through their conspiracy this time!" Shui Shen said.

"No time." Han Jia Gongzi made up some unknown reason, leaving Shui Shen stunned and speechless.

"Beautiful!!!" Wu Ye, still in Caomang City, sincerely praised as he received a full sixteen teleportation scrolls from Forever. These were naturally the teleportation scrolls for Yingqi's sixteen warehouses spread throughout the game.

"There are still two left, but I believe it won't be long." The two that Forever was talking about were naturally the one where Yun Zhongmu and the others hadn't left yet, and the one where Gu Fei was staying. Forever had also left people to keep an eye on these two places, and he was very confident that the other side could only give up. With only these two places left, even if they spent some money to mobilize the big guilds in the two main cities for a charge, just to seize the opportunity to enter, it would be too easy to do.

"Brother, you're too talented." Wu Ye said happily. He knew Forever's entire plan. And the disguised Eagle Regiment ten-man team was not some externally hired personnel, but people from their Yingqi Studio. Director Nineteen went to Eighteen, but not all of the hundred main city负责人 (fù zé rén - people in charge) and deputies had resigned. The personnel handover was of course necessary, and these remaining 负责人 (fù zé rén - people in charge) currently reported everything to Wu Ye, the only remaining director. Among these workers, there were of course also those who were dedicated to managing the business and had no interest in the game itself, and it was common for them to be below level 10.

"It's nothing." Forever said modestly, smiling, "You go ahead and do your thing!"

"Okay, okay." With the scrolls in hand, Wu Ye was naturally not flustered. The inventory taking on this side was almost finished, and Wu Ye chose the next stop and started contacting the Director there.

The director there was the one who had been contacted before but could not enter the warehouse, so he naturally gave this reason again. Wu Ye casually threw out a sentence: "It doesn't matter, I'll come pick you up." Then he imagined the other party's reaction and felt great joy in his heart.

At this time, a white light flashed in the warehouse, and the boss, Gaishi Qiying, teleported back, obviously having received the good news from Forever.

"Well done." Gaishi Qiying praised him as soon as he arrived. Forever naturally became modest again, and after exchanging pleasantries, he said, "Do we still need to continue to打击 (dǎ jī - strike) the Ten Guild Alliance in Moonlit Night City?"

"Yes! Of course! Weren't they the ones who came to捣乱 (dǎo luàn - make trouble) this time? If we don't give them a taste of our power, how can we move forward? Hit them hard! I've also seen it on the forums, we currently have the upper hand in public opinion, so we're not afraid. We're just legitimately protecting our interests, hahaha!" Gaishi Qiying was in a great mood, mainly because the warehouse problem was solved. This was the foundation of his business, and as Lu Ke said, he would fight to the death for the warehouses no matter what.

"Has a new warehouse been found, boss?" Wu Ye came over and asked at this time.

"We've scouted a few special locations, still in negotiations," Gaishi Qiying said.

"After the city war, some districts are now the responsibility of player guilds. What do you think about finding a place like that, concentrating in one area, so that if anyone wants to捣乱 (dǎo luàn - make trouble) in the future, the guild can't just sit idly by, right?" Forever suggested.

"Hehe, you're thinking the same thing as me! What, do you have any friends in that area?" Gaishi Qiying said.

"Not really, I was just making a suggestion..." Forever said.

"I have to find a more peaceful main city, I can't provoke madmen like this again." It seemed that Gaishi Qiying still had some lingering shadows in his heart, at least he understood that if players wanted to make trouble for their studio, they could still cause a lot of problems.

On the Ten Guild Alliance side, Yun Zhongmu and his brothers discussed and ultimately decided to give up the fight to create trouble for Yingqi Studio at the warehouses.

"But in Moonlit Night City, Yingqi can forget about ever having a good day!!" Yun Zhongmu gave himself some face.

"With your determination, they won't let you have one either. The Eagle Regiment will come back to find you," Han Jia Gongzi smiled.

Yun Zhongmu was depressed! So after all that, they were back to square one. They were still stuck in Moonlit Night City, still having to guard against the Eagle Regiment's捣乱 (dǎo luàn - trouble-making). What was the point of them spending so much money on plane tickets for a large group of people to fly all over the world? After thinking it over, all the people who died in the Eagle Regiment were dealt with by Qianli Yizui. What had they done?

But after all, the travel expenses hadn't exceeded the sum of money that Qianli Yizui had given him at the time, which made Yun Zhongmu feel a little better. He didn't even realize that he was constantly looking for excuses to comfort himself.

"Let's go back to our place first." Yun Zhongmu was a little dejected.

"Be careful." Han Jia Gongzi said. This was not just politeness, it was a genuine need to be careful. Yun Zhongmu could only feel depressed again.

The scenery of Moonlit Night City remained the same, and Yun Zhongmu's mood remained heavy, because the Eagle Regiment's捣乱 (dǎo luàn - trouble-making) would continue as well.

When would the捣乱 (dǎo luàn - trouble-making) come? Yun Zhongmu didn't know, but he knew one thing: the experts from Cloud City clearly didn't intend to let the Eagle Regiment go. They might stop fighting with Yingqi, but they wouldn't stop with the Eagle Regiment, because that Forever seemed to have a grudge with Han Jia Gongzi, and even Shui Shen from LinYin City. Yun Zhongmu was experienced, and he could tell from just two sentences from Forever and them on the battlefield at the time. That Shui Shen and Han Jia Gongzi, one was excited, the other was cold. This grudge must be quite deep.

It's just... their grudge was with the Eagle Regiment, but the Ten Guild Alliance? They had formed a梁子 (liáng zi - feud) with Yingqi Studio. The Eagle Regiment was just a gun in Yingqi's hands. Because of团长 (tuán zhǎng - regiment commander) Forever's personal grudge with Han Jia Gongzi and the others, the Eagle Regiment would be caught and not released by these experts, and the Eagle Regiment might be finished. But targeting their Ten Guild Alliance, Yingqi could always form a second Eagle Regiment, a third Eagle Regiment. Could the Ten Guild Alliance survive this endless harassment?

And this trouble was just because of his own personal decision at the time, followed by a series of impulses, which resulted in a large group of brothers running around and losing levels... What should he do?
