781 Chapter 781 - There’s still a backup plan (1/2)

The 10,000 players or so were currently in a state of uproar as they stood in front of Sword Demon and the others. It was already no longer an encirclement but more like they were directly receiving a lecture. Several of the spokespersons that Sword Demon had looked for had stood out, yet they were all looking at one another, not one with any idea what to do, as more and more players stepped out. Sword Demon could tell that there might not be a single large guild here out of these people here, and there might even be more guilds here than the number of members present in Extremely Heaven Defying.

\”Looks like all of you would need some time before you come to a decision. In that case, let us take our leave first. We would gladly clash again in the future if an opportunity arises,\” When Sword Demon saw that the other representatives were unable to come to a decision after quite some time has passed, he decided against waiting for them any longer, saying his line before leading his men to leave.

All those players could only stare in bewilderment as this happened, and not a single one of them made any suggestions, nor did any of them tried to take the lead and become an example. They merely stared blankly as the players from Extremely Heaven Defying departed without much of a fuss.

\”Hahahahahaha, cool, that was too cool!!!\” Everyone in Extremely Heaven Defying's guild channel was already cheering and celebrating at this moment. Today's battle was a complete shock, yet the risk of danger was absent. In the beginning, they had all made the mental preparation that they might end up losing their lives, but how would they have known that the enemy would be so weak that they could so easily defeat them despite their disadvantage in terms of numbers. No matter how terrible they were, it was truly something worth being proud of to have been able to stand firm despite going up against over 10,000 players despite only having just around 100 players themselves.

\”We are invincible! Yeah!!!\” Such cries were commonly repeated over the guild. Even though Sword Demon felt that claiming to be 'invincible' was a tad bit of an exaggeration, he did not endeavor to be the wet blanket seeing just how exuberant everyone was, emotionally speaking. Being the considerate person that he was, he figured that there would be no harm in letting everyone continue to enjoy this night of enjoyment.

\”This must surely be the big gift some hero had sent us upon seeing Extremely Heaven Defying's successful merger, as part of our joyous celebration?\” Someone jokingly made such a comment over the channel, though it was unknown when all the experts had gathered together at this time, and Young Master Han was also posing this question so everyone could contemplate this situation.

\”It's very obvious that these enemies had been cobbled together at the last minute, but isn't it a little strange how they had been gathered together like this? So many guilds could not have possibly come up with the idea to ruin our night party all at the same time, coming together and perfectly form up an encirclement like this, right? At the end of the day, someone must have come up with this plan to surround us, and then there must also be someone who went through the process of organizing everyone. In doing so, surely they must have established a few guilds to be core, right? And these core guild leaders would of course possess the most charismatic and eloquent commanders. But those guys? Why were none of them just that?\” Young Master Han wondered.

\”Why?\” Brother Assist very obediently asked. Anyone who attempted to answer Young Master Han's query would only receive a look of contempt. Young Master Han was never the sort to ask a question, but the one who sets them. So of course, he would most definitely have the answer to the question he asked.

\”There must surely be a group of people who had instigated them, provoked them into action. And these men are still hiding even till now, not springing their true plan yet,\” Young Master Han said.

\”Then who could it be? Fleeting Smile?\” He was the first name that popped up in Gu Fei's name, someone who had spared no effort in trying to go against him.

\”It shouldn't be him,\” Young Master Han continued to say. \”I've already said they must be a group of people. No one man would be able to incite so many guilds in one go like this, as that would mean that he would have to visit plenty of guilds to achieve this. Based on that, I suspect this is the work of an organization, capable of sending their men everywhere, provoking so many players altogether to assault us in this manner.\”

\”If we're talking about a whole bunch of people, could this be a workshop's handiwork?\” Gu Fei involuntarily turned his gaze to Deep Waters even as he said this. He had originally thought that Deep Waters would immediately leap out and begin to elaborate on just how shameless and despicable workshops were, but he did not expect Deep Waters to actually calmly state, \”Workshops would always prioritize their profits when doing things. It doesn't matter whether what's happening is a plan that has been set into motion or a follow-up plan, there just doesn't seem to be any economic benefits to reap. That's right, a certain someone seems to have just said that the enemy might still have a real scheme, so I wonder just what exactly would this real scheme be?\” Deep Waters was eyeing Young Master Han with such contempt and disdain as he responded to his assumption.

\”We did not lose anything in this fight, but we did gain something else instead,\” Young Master Han said.

\”Gained something?\” Brother Assist was muttering. \”Could you mean the pride and excitement we are all feeling right now?\”

Young Master Han rolled his eyes and looked at Gu Fei, \”How many you got?\”

\”Do you mean my PK Value?\” Gu Fei was very astute when it came to such things.

\”That's right!\” Young Master Han nodded. \”Throwing a messy horde of noobs to surround us, it is only natural we end up gaining PK points as a result. Furthermore, I'm sure it is not just a small number either. Miles, how much do you have right now?\”

\”I…. have 78…\” Gu Fei answered.

Everyone instantly sucked in a cold breath. Royal God Call was already anxiously looking in every direction, \”Are the city guards coming to apprehend you? Or would a single bolt of lightning come straight from the heavens and strike you to death?\”

\”I think the city guards would only hunt you down if you are within the limits of a city,\” Gu Fei said. \”As for being struck by lightning, I can call one to insta-kill you.\”

\”Okay, let's not mess around. I've got PK points on me as well.\” Royal God Call hurriedly backed away.

Everyone immediately sunk into a state of silence after this was said. The PK Value issue at hand was indeed a very serious problem. With this, dying would mean losing 2 levels, and that is for players who had a PK Value of 10 and under. For those who reached 30 points, a single death meant losing 5 levels, and as for 78 PK points… The system did not continue to give an example to explain, so it was unknown if there would be no change for offenders that had a PK Value that went well above 30. Otherwise, if they followed the rule of an additional level with every 10 levels, a player with PK Value of 78 would approximately lose 9 levels upon death.

9 levels… Everyone turned to look at Gu Fei, but very quickly had a different thought in mind. Even if he loses 9 levels in one go, was there anyone out there who could kill him?

Putting aside the matter with Gu Fei's PK Value, everyone had begun to check their PK Values by this time. During this fight against a weaker enemy, the teams had killed whomever they came across wherever they went, and each and everyone had let loose their attacks without any care for restraint. Aside from the Priests, practically everybody had killed someone in the skirmish, while Mages and other such job classes that possessed spells and skills that dealt AoE damage naturally acted unchecked. Drifting had quite expressionlessly said with a hollow voice, \”F*ck me. I got 29 PK points, just shy of 30. Seems like I've yet to adjust my mentality with regards to my role during the City Wars event.\”

Killing players during the event did not result in players earning any PK points, which was why the players who had participated in the City War were acting so tyrannically in this instance. It had barely been a day and they ended up clashing in PK again. It was like everyone had completely forgotten to consider the matter of PK Value altogether.
