Chapter 529 - 9 Can You Believe It! (1/2)

Chapter 529 Can You Believe It!

After Roland’s post was uploaded, it became a hot topic in less than three minutes.

In contrast, Husso’s post, which took several hours to upload and falsely accuse Roland, was just a popular post.

This was a very real difference.

Husso was just an ordinary leisure player, only level two, and also just a branch deputy chairman, working for someone else, with no reputation.

His post had become a popular post only because it had rubbed off on the name Roland.

Roland was now the highest-level player in the entire server, the first to reach level ten, the strongest Mage in the entire server, and most likely still the strongest amongst players.

He had two divine artifacts and controlled a city behind the scenes.

He also s.n.a.t.c.hed a queen as a companion.

Many other deeds could be told; Husso was not even on the same level as Roland.

Husso’s previous post only got so much traffic because it benefited from the popularity of Roland’s name. And now that Roland himself had posted, there were a large number of people who wanted to see what was going on.

Although it became a hot topic in three minutes, it took about ten minutes after posting for someone to reply.

After all, it took time to watch the video, even if one had fast-forwarded through it.

“Tsk, I had thought that Cornucopia only monopolized a small portion of the industry resources in a small number of cities, but I never thought that they had dabbled in all of Hollevin’s medium and large cities. Amazing, amazing.”

“Monopoly aside, they forcefully lowered the purchase price and greatly increased the selling price, as expected of new-era capitalists. This is even more ruthless than the merchants of the feudal era.”

“I have a say in this matter. I worked part-time as a hunter some time ago. Originally, the purchase price for a complete wolf skin was one silver coin, and the fur merchant’s selling price was usually around three silver coins, but after Cornucopia pushed out these merchants, the purchase price became thirty-seven bronze coins, and the selling price increased to five silver coins. Now I’m no longer hunting. I can only go to the Guild of Mercenaries to take on quests as a bodyguard. I don’t quite like to fight and kill, but there’s no better option.”

“In my city, Cornucopia has also monopolized the food banks, and now the price of food has risen by at least fifty percent, and a large number of commoners are starving. It’s pitiful to look at.”

“For businessmen, isn’t it normal to pursue profit? And no one’s restricting them. Roland stood out and was framed.”

“Why don’t the territories around the world target Cornucopia?” “Cornucopia is now banking on the players’ power! Nowadays, all the NPCs know that it is extremely unwise to offend the Golden Sons. They all have qualms and don’t dare to do anything to Cornucopia.”

“Are we going to let Cornucopia continue to be so unbridled? What they are doing is no different from those leeches, and if we wait any longer, the collective reputation of the players will be overwhelmingly negative because of them.”

“What can we do? This game has a penalty for malicious killing, and the other side has the players’ hard-earned reputation backing them, and they’re taking advantage of a loophole in the system to cause trouble, so there’s no way to get them.”

“How unpleasant.”

“Upstairs, you’re all fast-forwarding through the video. I watched the video in its entirety, and now I’ve received a blue quest to deal with Cornucopia’s members in the city I’m in at the moment. Kill them and open the free flow of food!”

“??? F**k, really? I’ll try it.”

“It’s true, I’ve triggered it too.”

“So Almighty Roland is here to deliver the quest? Love you!”

“As expected, I had to watch it all, and I can’t even fast-forward one second. A gold quest for me to kill the chairman of Cornucopia? Oh sh*t, I’m a bit scared. I’ve heard that their chairman is a super-rich man in reality. If I kill him, will he take revenge on me in real life?”

“Idiot, you don’t know how to disguise yourself? It’s not a traditional online game, your name won’t be displayed above your head. Just mask your face, put on a black suit, and kill him. No one will know who did it.”

“The impressive one upstairs, please sit down. I feel like my nine-year compulsory education was in vain.”

“I learned something.”

“Just realized now? Isn’t this a basic operation? At least we Thieves and a.s.sa.s.sins are masked every day. I’ve almost forgotten what I look like in the game.”

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Roland was relieved when he finally saw that someone had received a quest.

The purpose of sending this video was to use the king’s speech to release quests.

Of course, it was only experimental and not a hundred percent certain.

Roland’s impression of Cornucopia wasn’t very good. It wasn’t very good before, and it was even worse now.

It wasn’t significant to restrict Cornucopia in Delpon alone, but it would be different if a wave could be started against Cornucopia in Hollevin and their roots dug up directly. The situation would be different then.
