Gamers Are Fierce No Chapter 326 325: Establishment

While busy with his own affairs, Li Ang did not forget to pay attention to the outside world.

Ever since officials announced the existence of the Slaughter Ga and proclaid their intention to establish the Global Occult Coalition, the resulting turmoil had never ceased.

First ca the unrest.

The turmoil in major European cities, initially suppressed by local officials, quickly rekindled.

All sorts of troublemakers erged: devoted doomsayers, opportunists looting wealth under the guise of apocalypse, individuals with ulterior motives claiming to be prophets of disaster, conspiracy theorists who firmly distrusted officials, and the superstitious general populace.

In Europe, the number of such people was substantial. They either paraded on the streets with signs advocating their beliefs or spread shocking rumors online.

After European officials arrested a batch of the most radical individuals, many still remained. These people, having learned their lesson, no longer dared to provoke the armored vehicles guarding the main city streets. Instead, they now wandered in small groups, carrying signs and ambling about—truly, in a rather Zen fashion—mostly asking others to sign petitions.

The demands on these petitions were varied:

So called for unity to form community alliances for self-protection;

So demanded that authorities disclose more about the inner workings of the Slaughter Ga;

So demanded that authorities find a way to make them players;

So demanded official recognition of their status as prophets of the apocalypse;

So demanded lower oil prices and increased taxes on capitalists (the imagination of the European people is indeed quite extraordinary);

So demanded protection for won's rights and solutions to gender discrimination in the workplace (God knows how these Europeans connected the slightly lower proportion of female players in the Slaughter Ga with gender discrimination in the workplace).

These individuals caused disturbances of varying degrees in major European cities. However, the situation currently seed to be under control.

As for the United States, civilian gun sales reached a new high, and sales in gun shops across various cities skyrocketed as if on stimulants. Private security companies experienced a resurgence, with many affluent neighborhoods hiring more professional security teams for round-the-clock patrols.

Books on mysticism, especially those on defending against black magic, beca bestsellers. Sales of salt, iron rods, crosses, and amulets of dubious origin were also brisk; mysticism purportedly claid salt could prevent demons from invading hos, and pure iron was said to kill devils.

The once-popular nuclear fallout shelter projects in the United States saw a revival. Many rural Arican families began stockpiling supplies, digging cellars, and buying radiation protection gear, believing that the prevalence of supernatural elents could potentially trigger a global nuclear war.

Of course, churches were the most popular destinations. Priests joyfully observed a drastic increase in the number of people coming to pray daily, and Holy Water was in high demand.

Moreover, doomsayers in the United States also erged, proving even more extre than their European counterparts. So even proclaid themselves Noahs of a new era, flocking to remote mountains and forests in groups to establish survivor colonies or doomsday arks.

Regions like Africa and South Arica remained as turbulent as ever; they had already been living in Purgatory even before the official acknowledgnt of the Slaughter Ga, so little changed—except that so player-led ard factions grew more audacious.

Incidentally, so massive Western financial conglorates, such as pharmaceutical companies, actually expanded their laboratory operations in Africa and South Arica amidst the chaos, hiring security firms to protect their assets. The Slaughter Ga would bring all sorts of novel technologies to the world, with dical advancents being the most lucrative and offering the quickest returns. To fully exploit these dical technologies, large-scale experints were necessary. The chaotic situations in Africa and South Arica, ironically, provided ideal environnts for such dical laboratories.

How much is a human life worth?

Among these pharmaceutical monopolies, the most discreet yet rapidly advancing was Gen-Sys Biotech Company. This company appeared to have assimilated so technology from the Slaughter Ga. They claid breakthrough progress in synthetic stem cells and announced that soon they could officially launch comrcially viable preventive treatnts for diseases like stomach ailnts, heart conditions, hyperglycemia, and hypertension. Furthermore, they hoped to use stem cells for mass-cultivating artificial organs within a few years, aiming to replace any diseased organ.

Other monopolies, not to be outdone by their pharmaceutical counterparts, also made moves. Companies in the United States specializing in automated robotic arms, for instance, significantly expanded their factories. This expansion completely displaced nurous workers from other industries, triggering large-scale protests.

Silicon Valley's interest in weak artificial intelligence and Strong Artificial Intelligence also surged. Many companies with existing research foundations in these areas received substantial investnts or were acquired outright, leading to impressive stock market performances.

Protheus Laboratory Company, a firm that had risen rapidly in recent months, officially announced that a new building material they developed was ready for comrcial use. This material was extrely lightweight yet sturdy, durable, cost-effective, and easy to manufacture. It made constructing buildings over a kiloter high effortless and could even be used to build a massive, modern tropolis capable of housing a million people.

Concurrently with Protheus Laboratory Company's announcent, a governnt-backed laboratory in Yin City also revealed a similar material. Undoubtedly, both entities had likely acquired this new technology from the sa Slaughter Ga scenario world.

The global uproar did not impede the establishnt of the Global Occult Coalition. This organization was headquartered at the United Nations in New York, under the jurisdiction of the Worldwide Special Events Coordination And Managent Committee. Its primary mbers were official supernatural agencies from various regions, including the Special Affairs Bureau, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Supernatural Accident Place, the Germany Anomaly Investigation Bureau, and the Japan Anomaly Investigation Bureau.

Additionally, the Global Occult Coalition absorbed several clandestine organizations from around the world, such as the Golmorg Ancient Saint Sect, the Holy Temple Knight Clergy Regint, the Tribunal, and Whale Song.

This wasn't to say that official organizations were willing to stoop to collaborating with these clandestine groups. Rather, these secret societies varied wildly in structure, mbership, and objectives. Instead of allowing them to develop unchecked in the shadows, it was deed better to bring discussions into the open. The aim was to foster cooperation, share intelligence, and prevent the Slaughter Ga from further disrupting human societal order.
