Chapter 486: Chapter 472 Value (2nd Update)
On the outskirts of Holy Spirit City.
“Master, whose stronghold is this?”
Yelena followed Zhao Mingwei to a remote area on the outskirts of Holy Spirit City. There was a small stronghold there, more like a little campsite, and not many players were seen near the stronghold’s tree.
“A friend.”
Zhao Mingwei knelt in front of the stronghold’s tree and laid a bouquet of unknown flowers at the roots of the tree.
“Friend?”
Yelena had thought she was on an outing with her master and had been heartily enjoying the trip, but now Zhao Mingwei’s expression seed sowhat sad, so she beca more reserved as well.
“Master, is he… no longer here?” Yelena asked in a low voice.
“As long as soone rembers him, then I can answer that question with… no.”
Zhao Mingwei said sothing Yelena couldn’t understand, and at that mont, Yelena turned around with a cautious look and saw Gabby standing not far away with a bouquet of flowers in hand.
“I was planning to co after you two had left, but Zhao player, do you also know his ID in Holy Spirit?” Gabby asked.
“Just a friend I knew in Holy Spirit,” Zhao Mingwei said, standing up and walking over to the stronghold’s tree, where he placed the flowers he was holding and continued.
“As for , I learned through inquiries. Although Holy Spirit official didn’t reveal Gabby’s ga ID, there were still so who knew.”
Gabby looked around at the empty stronghold, but the world channel was filled with a bunch of players mourning the legendary ga producer, which felt quite poignant.
Zhao Mingwei’s acquaintance with the ga producer Gabby was not a surprise, as after all, Zhao Mingwei might be one of the most outstanding Conflict players in history.
“What are your plans for this Holy Spirit League season with Dynamic Nucleus? If you could beco a shareholder in Conflict, could you get the planners to sell fewer of those money-trapping gift packs?”
Zhao Mingwei chose to change the topic, as although he had recently invested a lot of ti into Holy Spirit, he would still occasionally visit the world of Conflict.
But Conflict as a ga was increasingly distasteful to Zhao Mingwei, the reason being the conflict between comrcialization and gaplay. This had led to a situation where the ga’s nurical values began to outweigh players’ practice and skill in a profession, and more and more professions beca homogenized in pursuit of damage…
Zhao Mingwei realized that Conflict might… no longer be suitable for him.
“Zhao player, you’ve given a goal that’s sowhat hard to achieve, but I’ll do my best, after all… the temptation is too great,” Gabby said.
In the Holy Spirit League’s Fureya Cup, anyone who wins the team championship will get twenty percent of the shares of Conflict’s parent company!
Twenty percent! That was enough to make Gabby leap to beco a major shareholder of Conflict. Money was the least of his concerns. What mattered was that Gabby could directly interfere with the internal decisions of the Conflict League and reform the league, which was already being dragged into the mire of excessive comrcialization.
But that wasn’t what Gabby was most concerned about. What truly mattered to him was so recent movents at Sustainable Sanctuary that Rosh had shared with him while Dynamic Nucleus was leveling accounts on his behalf.
That was the fact that Sustainable Sanctuary had co to view the Spirits as enemies that must be eradicated. Yet, that wasn’t the worst piece of intelligence Gabby had collected. There was another, even more troubling piece of news…
“And what about Zhao player? Do you have any plans to participate in this competition?” Gabby asked, revealing another reason for his visit.
“I don’t plan to for now. The qualifying matches involve five-person instances at Governor difficulty, but I’d rather challenge the Governor difficulty than five-person instances.”
Lately, Zhao Mingwei hadn’t been visiting the Black Tide Island to spar with the Obliteration Legion because there was no longer any trace of them on the island, and the Path to Ascension’s Governor challenges had once again ignited Zhao Mingwei’s addiction… the thrill of tackling an extrely difficult boss.
In summary, Zhao Mingwei simply found the five-person instances at Governor difficulty too easy and unamusing, so he had no interest in participating in the Holy Spirit League for the ti being.
“That really does fit with Zhao player’s way of thinking…” Gabby had also heard of Zhao Mingwei’s moniker, the ‘eSports Saint.’ Zhao Mingwei wasn’t indifferent to fa and fortune. During their real-life eting, Gabby felt like… Zhao Mingwei seed to exist outside of the real world.
Speaking in a more down-to-earth way, Zhao Mingwei thought about how to defeat the boss of the instance even when he was offline eating, and he wouldn’t log off to sleep until he was utterly exhausted. Real life was rely a preparation for his endeavors in the virtual world.
If this were thirty years earlier, he would have been sent to internet addiction treatnt for electrotherapy! But in this era, Zhao Mingwei is hailed as a hero and worshipped by countless players.
“I’ll just say it straight, yesterday our guild mbers were doing a substitute training mission for a five-person Path to Ascension instance and then encountered the Obliteration Legion,” the Silver Boss said.
“The Path to Ascension does indeed have so instances where the Obliteration Legion serves as the Guardian,” Zhao Mingwei’s brows furrowed slightly, but Silver Boss sent him a video file.
“What they encountered wasn’t the Guardian, but another group of Challengers!” Silver Boss said.
Zhao Mingwei opened the video file shared by Silver Boss. The video showed five players from the Jumping Nucleus faction fighting against a dragon-like enemy, doing well until they were suddenly taken out by five mbers of the Obliteration Legion who seed to co out of nowhere.
The video was very clear, and the characteristics of the Obliteration Legion’s armor and their combat style were very distinctive; Zhao Mingwei recognized them at a glance.
“The Obliteration Legion is also challenging the Path to Ascension and they can even invade other Challenger’s instances,” Silver Boss concluded directly.
“…Silver Boss, are you asking to join your team?”
Ever since the ntion of the Obliteration Legion, Zhao Mingwei found it hard to be bored. He didn’t care what the Obliteration Legion’s intentions were with the Path to Ascension; as far as he was concerned, there was certainly no good intent—just fight and be done with it!
If the Obliteration Legion could invade the instances challenged by the Holy Spirit, then the Holy Spirit certainly must have a way to invade the instances they are challenging.
It’s all about mutual harm, anyway.
“I really, really want you to join our team, but… how should I put it,” Silver Boss’s expression suddenly beca very conflicted. He hesitated for a while before saying, “But your old teammates might need you more.”
“The teammates from Dominating the World?” Zhao Mingwei suddenly realized sothing because Qi Junzi and Lin Xi had not logged on all day, which was very unusual.
“Yeah, the rewards for this Holy Spirit League are just too tempting. Even my dad is asking if I can win the championship, or how much it would cost if we can’t win… how much it would take to win,” Silver Boss sighed softly before speaking.
“In short, those capital forces that don’t play gas might have taken notice of this league. So… Zhao, you should understand, given your fa in Holy Spirit City, soon there will be a lot of people offering a high price to get you to join their team for the competition. Other famous players in Holy Spirit City might encounter this as well, and the bosses of Dominating the World will definitely not sit idly by… You understand what I’m saying, right, Zhao?”
“Qi Junzi would definitely not agree,” Zhao Mingwei knew his old teammate’s personality better than anyone.
The Dominating the World in Holy Spirit City and the Dominating the World club in reality were two separate entities.
The Dominating the World in Holy Spirit City was built by Qi Junzi and the fans of Dominating the World without a single bit of official assistance from the club; it was created entirely out of love and managed by Qi Junzi and the fans.
Qi Junzi’s gaming account in Holy Spirit City was the sa. Originally, the Dominating the World club was very resistant to the ga Holy Spirit City.
And it was still the sa now.
But the rewards of the Holy Spirit League were enough to drive the whole world mad! Dominating the World club was no exception, so currently, the Dominating the World club probably wanted to capitalize on the results built by Qi Junzi and others in Holy Spirit City.
But how could Qi Junzi possibly agree? The problem was that Qi Junzi was currently a player for Dominating the World, and if things got bad with the club’s high level…
“Silver Boss, are you interested in recruiting a few strong players?” Zhao Mingwei asked directly.
“I am, but I don’t have the money. Your teammate Feng Yi is too expensive. After buying Feng Yi, I’ve been living on bread for a while,” Silver Boss could only shrug helplessly. But he added, “However, if it’s a comrcial lawsuit, I can still help you out. The person who might force them to make a decision might only be you.”
The person who might force them to make a decision, might only be you.
Zhao Mingwei certainly knew what decision that was!
“Master?” Yelena had been watching carefully on the side, too tentative to speak.
“Silver Boss, could you please take Yelena back to the base? I’ve got sothing to take care of and need to log off first,” Zhao Mingwei said to Silver Boss after rubbing Yelena’s forehead with his hand.
