Chapter 530 The Rewards Keep On Coming

Charles’s words were full of anger, but they also hid his frustration and depression.

In reality, he didn’t dare to call the shots, but at least his words carried weight, and as long as he wasn’t up against peers of the same level or higher than himself, it was still easy for him to take someone down.

But now, he couldn’t even find a way to deal with an ordinary person.

Speaking of which… someone that I can’t even touch is probably not a normal person.

Thinking about it this way, Charles felt much better.

“In that case, let’s put aside the matter of Roland and ask the paid posters to do their best to help us wash our slate clean, and muddy the waters along the way.” Charles sighed. “All branches return all the purchase and sale prices to their previous levels and try to save yourselves as much as possible. Back down and apologize when necessary. Now, regardless of the money gained or lost, survive first!”

All the chairmen of the various branches agreed.

Bringing prices back to previous levels was just a matter of making less money.

The biggest problem now was that many players had received missions against Cornucopia, and there was no telling how much they would lose to get through this incident.

After the meeting ended, Charles contemplated for a while and then exited the game.

Coming out of the virtual cabin, he found his phone and checked the time.

03:12

Then he exhaled and dialed a number.

The other side of the line rang and stopped after a minute.

He redialed.

It stopped again.

After three calls, the other side finally picked up the phone. “Charles, don’t blame me for cursing if you don’t give me a reason. You should also know that one minute in reality is three minutes in the game. What can’t we talk about in the game, or during the day when the game is down, that you have to wake me up from the game at this time?”

The other side was clearly suppressing their anger.

Charles said slowly, “Douglas, do me a favor and tell Roland to take down that forum post. I owe you one!”

“Heh.” Some sarcastic laughter came from the phone. “Why should I intercede for you, a favor that would make me offend Roland? Don’t you know that I’m now a part of the Magic Tower of Delpon? If I intercede, what if Roland drives me away from the Magic Tower!”

Charles, whose knuckles were white with exertion as he gripped the phone, suppressed his anger and said, “Will you help or not? After all, we know each other in real life, so is our relations.h.i.+p not comparable to online friends in the game?”

“It’s even more troublesome to know each other in real life—the interests are too greatand you don’t know when people will turn against each other. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before.” Douglas said indifferently, “Charles, just admit defeat this time. I can’t help, I don’t dare to help. I remember telling you last time, don’t treat this game as an ordinary online game. It’s almost impossible for the influence of reality to penetrate into the game. The only thing that can work a little is money, but for the real big shots, that money is quite useless.”

Charles finally snapped and said angrily, “Are you just going to watch those normal people in real life step over us in the game?”

“What’s so strange about that,” Douglas snapped. “Take away the paternal protection, take away the connections, and what part of us can we say trumps those humble scholars? Now the game takes those two factors out. In reality, we can buy equipment with money, hire other players to help us, and our starting line is already ahead of most players. Don’t think about trying to beat everyone. At least I don’t dare to think so. The more I study magic, the more I feel how exaggerated Roland’s talent is. He’s not on the same level as us, do you understand?”

“Douglas, are you stupid!” yelled Charles into his phone. “It’s just a game, and you’re making a game expert your idol! You’re regressing in life.”

“Just a game?” Douglas paused for a moment, then said, “Although I don’t dare to speak for you, there are some things I can remind you of. As you know, my seniors know friends in the Intelligence and Information Bureau, and according to them, the details of this game, the location of the servers, the specific technology used, the players’ data, even they don’t have the authority to look into it; instead, the game company has the authority to investigate personal household data.”

With that said, a click came from the phone.

The call was interrupted.

Charles suddenly felt a bit of a chill go down his back.

Even the Intelligence and Information Bureau couldn’t find out what the background of this game company was.

The game was too real, and what was the purpose of its launch?

Charles was a little distracted, and he lay back down in the virtual cabin and entered the game again. Regardless of everything, he had invested too much money into Cornucopia. Losses could be incurred, but the foundation could not be destroyed.

He had to fight for it somehow.

After dealing with the matters of Delpon, Roland then drew a one-time multiple teleportation magic array and teleported Andonara and Stephanie back to the outskirts of Fareins’s capital.

Entering the capital and returning to her manor, Stephanie summoned the servants and maids from outside.
