Chapter 765 - Does It Need Your Recognition? (1/2)
If Roland’s floating city overseeing Wetland City could make people’s hearts fearful, but not yet make them lose their ability to resist…
Then Schuck’s appearance was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
The huge red dragon flew outside the city. Compared to before, Margret was more than a size larger and looked more intimidating.
It wasn’t much that there was a red dragon, but after this red dragon appeared, a silver dragon suddenly flew down from above the floating city.
It was much larger than the red dragon, and the two dragons hovered in the air and roared at each other for a long time, then separated again. The red dragon landed in the wild, while the silver dragon returned to the floating city above.
Almost everyone in the city saw the two dragons hovering.
The NPCs of the game world were naturally terrified. Since ancient times, both lawful metal dragons and five-colored dragons represented natural disasters for them.
Two dragons fighting each other and spitting random meteors down would be no different from world-ending fire for ordinary people.
They were dead if they touched it anyway.
So the NPCs looked at the two dragons roaring around in the air, afraid that they would fight.
The reaction of the players, on the other hand, was much more interesting.
Many restless people stopped certain thoughts, and in the forums, the discussion about the dragons had grown more and more.
Begging for Roland’s contact information, I want a dragon to ride too.
There were a lot of replies to the post. “Actually, I’d like to as well, but how do you know Roland’s silver dragon is also a female?”
“Look at the exterior form, that slim streamlined shape. At a glance, it’s a female. The male dragons are much bulkier.”
“Damn, why are all F6’s members becoming dragon riders? Do they have some kind of trick?”
“Schuck is simply handsome. He probably doesn’t have any tricks. I reckon Roland does.”
“Roland has, my a**. He’s just strong and has a floating city, and when converted into land, how much money do you think he has? Not to mention the dragons, even goddesses would be moved by Roland.”
“Oh sh**, I think you make a good point.”
“But we could try asking Roland and Schuck where else there are female dragons that can take human form, no matter how few there are.”
“You perverts, you can’t get enough of cat people, dog people, and succubi just around the corner, and now you’re hitting on dragons?”
“Then again, whether it’s the cat people, dog people, or a succubus, they all seem to be a perk that Roland brought us.” “Well… indeed. When I think of it that way, Roland is really a great guy. I’ve decided that as long as Roland doesn’t take things too far in the future, I’ll always support him.”
“That’s true… the equality contract was made by him. I love the succubus at home so much. It was Roland who gave me love. I’ve also decided to support him in the future. To hell with Cornucopia.”
“Ditto.”
“Ditto.”
The original post was to ask how to get Roland to teach people how to contact the dragon girls, but it turned out to be a big supporter party in the end.
Some people tried to change the narrative but couldn’t do so at all.
Seeing one floating city and two dragons, the vast majority of the players had given up the idea of toppling F6.
But in the end, some were still undeterred, and hired paid commenters to spam posts; however, O’Neal, the deputy chairman of the players’ Association of Mages then made a post.
Between Roland and Cornucopia, I’m on Roland’s side.
The post read something like this:
“Wetlands City was Betta’s, he was an F6 member himself, and his growth must have had a lot to do with everyone in F6 helping each other out. Maybe F6 had a lot to do with him getting Wetland City.
“That aside, I’d still prefer Roland, or someone from F6, to be the mayor of the city if we really want someone else to take over Wetland City.
“The reason is simple. From the start of the game until now, we Mages have been helped greatly by Roland, and Roland has also provided a lot of convenience and benefits to everyone, even the extremely convenient teleportation array right now, as far as I know, is actually Roland’s work, not to mention everyone’s nonhuman wife. “And what did Cornucopia do?
“Push up prices?
“Hoard materials?
“I still especially remember the ugly face Cornucopia showed when they monopolized a large number of magic materials in Hollevin a few years ago.
“At that time, how much did a basic Healing scroll cost? How many times did it go up?
“They also later tried to monopolize the equipment industry.
“All the same, Roland beat them down.
“Who can guarantee that these back-buying capitalists won’t take things too far when they become the rulers of Wetland City?
“We’ve all studied ideology and politics and know exactly what the capitalists will look like once they gain power!
“That’s why I support Roland.”
This post got a lot of people’s approval.
After all, Cornucopia did do some pretty disgraceful things in previous years. The Internet has a memory, not to mention that at that time, Cornucopia did slightly touch the wallets of most players. Although it wasn’t much pain, it would still leave a shallow scar on those ordinary players.
Normally it would fade away, but when they unconsciously saw the scar, it would still bring things back to mind.
O’Neal had a pretty good reputation among players and his posts resonated with many.
Indeed, Roland at least knew how to help and give back to ordinary players, but what did Cornucopia do?
It turned out that on the forum, public opinion leaned toward Roland, and O’Neal’s heartfelt message pushed the players toward Roland’s side even more.
Charles was in his quarters and saw this post on the forum. He got so angry that he slapped the table so hard and furiously that the whole house snapped.
“F**k, what’s this son of a b**** O’Neal doing, getting involved? Have I ever offended him before?”
“You sold him magic materials he needed urgently at two or three times the market price a few times.” A man next to him recalled the matter for Charles.
“Holy sh**!” Charles couldn’t help but curse. “That’s a legitimate business practice, a free-market choice.”
A strange smile crossed the lips of almost everyone next to him.
Although the people in this room were all in cahoots, all of them understood the nature of things.
They were targeting Roland because they were on the same page, not because they were stupid—who didn’t know what Cornucopia truly looked like?
Looking around at the odd smiles of those around him, Charles knew he had just lost his temper.
He quickly calmed down and said, “O’Neal’s post did create some problems for us, but now I’ve got people spreading rumors about F6, so let’s hope it works.”
“I don’t think it’ll do much.” Someone shook his head and said, “F6 is a super small guild, and such a guild has an advantage that a large guild does not have, and that is they’re super cohesive. It’s hard and difficult to drive a wedge between the members.”
“It’s better than doing nothing, isn’t it?” said Charles, hatefully. “It is a matter of one’s effort, and as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, we should always put up a fight. Or are we just going to watch Roland take all the goodies?”
