Chapter 716 New Discovery

The Golden Sons were kindheartedly and friendly.

That was the ordinary people’s impression of the players.

The Golden Sons were proud and had no respect for the privileged.

That was the ordinary nobles’ impression of the players.

The Golden Sons were arrogant and heartless.

That was most of the professionals’ impression of the players. Different people had different opinions on the players because of their different interests.

The players were just players. No matter how they conflicted with each other, they always left similar impressions on outsiders.

It was exactly such a case at this moment.

The two liches felt that the messenger of the Golden Sons was completely unreasonable.

Wallis couldn’t help but ask, “If we’re allies, why can’t you help us deal with enemies that have advantages against us? We can help you get rid of enemies that you find tricky. Won’t that be a win-win?”

“No, it’s not. Once we attack the Frostwolf Clan, we’ll be those who suffer,” said the male player unhurriedly. “You must’ve investigated us, so you should know the black leaf incident.”

The two liches looked at each other.

They had indeed heard about that before.

Back then, they found it exhilarating that the Golden Sons, who were undying monsters, turned out to have restrictions too.

However, exactly because of the restrictions, the liches couldn’t ask for their help at this moment, which was rather upsetting.

“But if this goes on, the Frostwolf Clan will destroy our camps, which will indirectly lead to your loss.” The player laughed aloud. “What loss can there be? If we can’t cooperate with you, we’ll look for someone else to work with. Isn’t it only natural?”

“Are you going to go back on your word?”

“We haven’t signed any agreements yet. We’ve never taken one gold coin from you. Why is it betrayal?” The player yawned after he laughed. “We’re just temporary allies because we have a common enemy.” The faces of dead bodies were rigid, but Wallis was so infuriated that his face twisted.

Karna sneered nonstop too.

A long time later, Wallis said, “Are you not afraid that we’ll tell other people you want to deal with Roland?”

“Be my guest.” The player smiled unconcernedly. “Then we really won’t be partners anymore.”

“You’re not scared?”

“You don’t know the Golden Sons.” The player narrowed his eyes and smiled. “We often fight because of different interests, but we’re not real enemies. We don’t hold any grudge against Roland; we simply don’t want him to be on the top.”

The players would lose 10% of their total EXP after each death, so Roland would drop from LV12 to LV11 if he died. Then, he probably wouldn’t have the highest level in the server. Besides, if they could kill him once, they would be able to do it again.

Wallis snorted. “I don’t want to meddle, but if Roland learns what you’re doing, your life won’t be great, will it?”

“It doesn’t matter.” The player’s eyes turned cold. “We’ll just surround and attack you with the Frostwolf Clan. All liches deserve death anyway, don’t you agree?”

He couldn’t have sounded more arrogant.

Wallis had never been insulted as such during his hundred years of life as a lich. He turned grave and was about to attack.

Exactly at this moment, Karna, who had been silent the whole time, stopped him and asked, “Wallis isn’t interested in the things between you, but I’m different. I’m a woman who loves gossip. My friend, you just mentioned that a lot of people like you want Roland to die. Why? He’s the strongest Golden Son, and from what we’ve gathered, he’s not a conceited person and has no conflicts of interests with most of the other Golden Sons.”

“Why are you asking about that?” asked the player while staring at Karna.

“Don’t the Golden Sons always say that you should find as many friends and make as few enemies as possible?” Karna asked in confusion. “Isn’t that what you do? Why have you chosen a different approach to deal with Roland? If so many people want him to die, ask more of your compatriots to help you.”

“If we have too many partners, some of them may betray us.” “It seems that your endeavor to kill Roland is not widely supported even among your own people.”

The player wasn’t bothered by Karna’s sarcasm.

He stepped back and said, “In any case, you’ll deal with the Frostwolf Clan on your own. We’ll only share intelligence on Roland with you and help you deal with him. We won’t care about anything else.”

After saying that, the players left.

But his face didn’t look very good after he turned around.

It wasn’t one or two forces that were dealing with Roland; it was quite a conspiracy that a lot of people were involved in.

On many occasions, fame was itself something that could invoke envy and jealousy.

Roland stood in the way of too many people, including but not limited to magnates and well-known livestreamers.

In other games, except the pure PVP ones, the rich players always got stronger as they invested more.

In PVP games, the famous livestreamers would all show their capabilities.

Some of them had special tricks, some had quick reactions, some were very visionary, and some were funny. They could always amaze the audience.

However, neither of the two approaches worked in this game.

However much money the rich players invested, other people wouldn’t admire them but would only mock them.

“This guy has thrown tens of millions into the game, yet can’t even make it to the top five. Roland has started from scratch and made a hundred million. He makes the best equipment and potions, and he’s strongest server-wide. Other players are just embarrassments compared to him.”

Just like that, Roland was like a mountain in front of them, and their investments were like jokes.

The rich players had no fun at all.

Life for streamers was even harder. Their familiarity with mouse and keyboard and their battle awareness meant nothing in the game.

They might have some advantages based on their gaming experiences at the beginning of the game. But it was still useless.

What mattered more in this world was to explore and get to know the world, and to reflect on oneself. Even the Warriors had to learn a lot of things apart from how to fight.

They had to learn new languages in the new world and the ways of society. They must see through the malicious NPCs without being tricked.

They had to negotiate before a quest, and make full preparations if the environment would be harsh.

This was a real world that simply had additional elements such as swords and magic.

Few of the streamers who played games at home every day were worldly experts of communication.

Many of them had accidents every day in the game.

They had accidents when they were on quests, ran their organization, and even sought survival in the wildness. If they couldn’t accomplish it, they could at least talk about it.

So, they intended to interpret the advantages and disadvantages of all classes.
