"Oh? What's the third point?"
Upon hearing Fearless's words, Old Wang, who had initially been uninterested in Fearless's teasing, couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
"Resources!"
Fearless replied casually.
"Resources? What do you mean?"
It wasn't just Old Wang; everyone from the Quan Zhen faction also felt a bit perplexed. It seemed pletely unrelated.
"Hehe!" Fearless chuckled and said, "Don't forget, not every server is as vast as our national server."
"Mm..."
The group was once again taken aback.
Indeed, the map in the game
roughly corresponds with the world map.
China is vast and rich in resources, boasting three hundred main cities in the game, while smaller nation servers have only a few main cities.
The Korean server is somewhat better; despite its small territory, it also has fewer players. But the Japanese server is different. Although its territory isn't much larger than the Korean server, its player base is substantial.
Especially after the global data merge in , with the Japanese server interlinked with the national server, players from the Japanese server began flooding in. What was once a server with only a few hundred thousand players now boasted millions.
Moreover, with the original three islands and six cities having been taken over by the Quan Zhen Sect and the Sanguine Alliance, the remaining main cities now have nearly a million residents each on average...
The player density can only be described as terrifying.
Even in the largest main city on the national server, Holy Light City, there are only about a million players. Main cities like Twilight City have around four to five hundred thousand, while ordinary main cities hover around three hundred thousand.
Three hundred thousand might not seem like a lot, but having that many players entering a city simultaneously can easily overcrowd a city the size of Twilight City, making it difficult to walk around. As for over a million people crammed onto an island, the conditions would be harsh, and resources would be severely lacking.
National server players might plain about the crowding but can retreat to the wilderness; what can Japanese server players do? Swim in the ocean?
"The Black Dragon Guild currently controls four main cities on Yingzhou Island. Don't they have the final say on resource allocation?" Frost Blade questioned skeptically.
"Yes, the Black Dragon Guild has the final say, but they need resources too!"
Fearless smiled and continued, "Don't forget, the largest mine in the Japanese server is in the hands of Peerless Heaven... What resources do they even have left?"
"This..."
With Fearless's explanation, everyone finally grasped the situation.
As experienced players, they understood many aspects of the game well.
Casual players play games to pass the time, but most guild players are there to make money.
The larger the guild, the less altruistic its motives.
As for those misled into joining guilds, they either bee part of the inner circle to make money together or bee free laborers for the guild, happy to receive a few game cards each month.
The Black Dragon Guild, with hundreds of thousands of players and influence across all four main cities in the Japanese server, isn't just playing games for leisure; even they wouldn't believe that. Clearly, such a guild is focused on making profits.
As the number of players in the Japanese server grows and resource consumption skyrockets, finding spacious areas outside of dungeons bees increasingly difficult, making resource shortages inevitable.
Moreover, the largest resource-producing area in the Japanese server is dominated by Peerless Heaven, leaving the Black Dragon Guild with nothing. They can't even meet their own needs, let alone expect to profit from resources.
The Black Dragon Guild might be hoping to gain resources, but in this situation, they would have to incur losses. For their interests, they naturally need to seize territory from Peerless Heaven.
As for the large guilds from other servers, they can't even mine enough resources for themselves, so they certainly won't e all the way to the national server to cause trouble.
Therefore, among all the guilds in the game that have the capability and conditions to confront Peerless Heaven head-on, the only one that fits all the criteria is the Black Dragon Guild.
No wonder Fearless was so certain that the Black Dragon Guild was behind this when he heard their name, and that this dark alliance was likely established by players from the Black Dragon Guild.
"Damn it, how e this bunch of bastards with hundreds of thousands of players in the national server hasn't made a move?"
At this thought, Frost Blade felt a chill run down his spine.
"Who told you they have hundreds of thousands of players?" Fearless raised an eyebrow.
"Of course! Otherwise, would they dare to stab Old Evil in the back?" Frost Blade retorted confidently.
"Tch!" Fearless dismissed him, saying, "You still call yourself a businessman? It seems you lack some understanding of studio players."
"???"
Feeling belittled by Fearless, Frost Blade's head was filled with question marks as he replied indignantly, "What understanding?"
At that moment, Evil Rampage explained from the side, "Studio players only care about money and benefits. They don't care who the boss is; they only care about who can feed them."
"What do you mean?" Frost Blade didn't catch on immediately.
"It means that whoever has the mines has the million little brothers!" Evil Rampage stated.
"See? That's a real boss. Frost Blade, you still have a way to go. Go learn from your wife
