Chapter 76: Insidious Offline Methods - The Seventy-Sixth Day of Game Making...
When Donghuang Taiyi heard his brother's words, his first thought was that he felt wronged.
My brother actually spoke ill of Kunpeng, that shameless scoundrel who stole and killed for money. He had only beaten Kunpeng a few times with the Chaos Bell and torn off a pair of Kunpeng's wings, which he had just roasted and given to a new friend.
He had originally planned to leave a wing root for his brother, but now he's changed his mind. He'll eat the wing root himself, and his brother can just suck on the meatless wing tip to taste it.
At that time, Hou Tu didn't have enough leaves left for herself, so the wing tips weren't coated at all, and they certainly didn't taste as good as properly marinated wing roots.
Hmph, let him speak up for Kunpeng.
Donghuang Taiyi sullenly took out a gourd, poured it out, and it became a giant wing tip that was over a hundred miles long.
Di Jun was both amused and exasperated by Donghuang Taiyi's actions, and quickly reached out to catch the enormous piece of roasted meat.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had sent Kunpeng and his other subordinates away. Otherwise, if they had seen the Golden Crow roasting Kunpeng's wings, no demon would have believed him no matter how much he valued Kunpeng.
“This is not an accusation. I know you’re upset, and I won’t interfere with how you handle things with Kunpeng in private. It’s just that Kunpeng was discussing serious matters just now, and things got so messy that it makes our plan seem like a makeshift operation.” Di Jun sighed with worry, knowing that his brother was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force.
"Now that the great undertaking is about to succeed, we must give face to the demon race who have come to our aid."
Donghuang Taiyi was shocked: "I didn't touch Kunpeng just now. Of course I know that important matters are important. How could I touch him at such a critical time?"
Since Di Jun never lies to his elder brother Donghuang Taiyi, he naturally trusts his younger brother.
"Besides, Kunpeng's bad luck in the demon race is nothing to hide. He's fallen countless times just walking on the road these past few days. I think it's because he's done too many immoral things and has been rejected by the Heavenly Dao that he's so unlucky." Donghuang Taiyi's disgust was clearly written on his face.
This statement quickly led Di Jun to identify a new suspect. He had heard that the Witch Clan could communicate with heaven and earth, possessing not only immense physical power but also expertise in curses and other magical arts. He just hadn't expected that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal couldn't withstand their curses.
Di Jun frowned. The witch clan liked to use blood essence to temper their bodies. Most of those whose blood essence was taken were demons who had gained sentience. Therefore, the demon clan and the witch clan could never coexist peacefully.
Moreover, since he aspires to dominate the entire prehistoric world, the Wu Clan cannot be ignored. The Wu Clan boasts twelve Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the Demon Clan naturally needs powerful figures as well, which is one of the reasons for accepting Kunpeng.
But now that he knows the power of the witch clan's curse, Di Jun subconsciously began to consider countermeasures.
At the same time, he also reminded Donghuang Taiyi: "Stay away from the Wu tribe people in normal times, we are not on the same side as them."
A war between the Witch and Demon races is inevitable in the future. Donghuang Taiyi, with his pure heart, will naturally find it difficult to meet his friend on the battlefield. Moreover, the Witch's curse is so powerful; if he lets his younger brother associate with them, who knows if they might be ambushed by the enemy?
Now it was Donghuang Taiyi's turn to feel guilty. This wasn't the first time his elder brother had given him such a warning. He didn't usually deal with the Wu tribe, but he had only met two Wu tribe members who were to his liking after the incident with Kunpeng.
Not long ago, he was still thinking about the unfinished roasted meat on the Kunpeng wing, so the first thing he did after tearing off the wing was to send one of the wings to the two Ancestral Witches who had shared his hardships. The seasoning that Donghuang Taiyi used to roast the other wing was one of the return gifts they sent.
The Witch Clan and they were not on the same side. To help his brother ascend the throne, he would naturally have to be an enemy of the Witch Clan. He had known this for a long time.
He wouldn't associate with someone so simple-minded and easily swayed that they'd believe everything they heard and start thinking of eating fools to become friends, especially since the other side was the Wu Clan. Giving them the Kunpeng wings was just to let Xuanming and Houtu bask in his glory, vent their anger, and at the same time, taste the Kunpeng.
Now that things are over, it's time to end it. Donghuang Taiyi quietly deleted two friends and assured his brother, "Of course I know. In the future, I will be fighting alongside you in the prehistoric world. I have no time to deal with those fools from the Wu tribe."
"It's good that you know."
…………
While the Golden Crow brothers were talking, the many subdued demons were also rapidly getting to work under the command of Kunpeng and the other demon generals, striving to allocate suitable resources to each other before the event began.
Then, I rushed into the game as soon as the event started, and we got into a fierce battle that went on until the sky darkened.
Such a large commotion by the demon race could not be kept secret from others. The witch clan, who hated the demon race for protecting Kunpeng because their brothers and sisters were injured, could not stand by and watch the demon race get what they wanted.
Even if it's just a game, they want to show the demon race the consequences of offending the witch race.
So they flocked to the game, choosing the Qilin faction, which was also connected to the earth. The first thing they did upon logging in was to go against the Phoenix faction chosen by Dijun, determined to show the opposing demon race who was the most powerful race in this primordial world.
In a short time, the player activity and online time of "Three Thousand Guests of Purple Cloud" reached new highs, and the spiritual power gained from spending money even caused Yuan Yi's ginseng fruit tree to bear a small fruit.
While the battle raged fiercely in the game, the demon race, led by Kunpeng whose accounts were banned from participating in activities, were also causing trouble offline.
While most players are engrossed in the game and too busy to engage in offline conflicts, this has instead created chaos and disorder in the world.
Tongtian, who had just arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, had just taken a sip of tea when he couldn't help but complain to Yuanyi: "I've never seen so many little demons surrounding the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun isn't connected to the sea, and the area below is full of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. There was even a fish that couldn't find water and struggled on a rock for a long time before fainting."
In the past, those who came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain were all sincere people who were devoted to cultivating the Tao and seeking a master. Tongtian's eldest disciple, Duobao, was selected from this group of people.
But ever since the game started, Kunpeng has interfered, scattering the little demons who can't log in everywhere, turning Kunlun Mountain into a bustling marketplace.
"That Kunpeng is utterly shameless! The opportunity at the foot of Kunlun Mountain was originally left by us for those who sincerely seek the Dao, but he took advantage of it to harass us wantonly. Moreover, after leaving behind that group of unsuspecting little demons, he ran away without a trace. Next time I see him, I will definitely cut off his wings." Tongtian gritted his teeth in anger.
The little demon who came was indeed seeking the Dao, but he was thrown to the mountainside without being tested at all. He kept calling Kunpeng "Lord Kunpeng" and even got into a fight with the person he originally intended to test and take as a disciple.
Even he was like this, and Yuanshi, who had always looked down on those who were covered in scales and armor and were born from eggs in the wet, was so angry that his face straightened up.
He had swept away the lesser demons at the foot of the mountain several times, but Kunpeng would tirelessly send them up the mountain while they were still playing the game, which angered Yuanshi to the point that he called Kunpeng a shameless person.
"Utterly shameless! They can't beat us in the game, so they resort to all sorts of crooked and evil tricks outside the game. They are truly shameless creatures born from moisture and eggs." Before Yuanshi descended the mountain this time, he temporarily sealed off Kunlun Mountain, so no matter how much trouble there was down below, it would never disturb their caves on the mountain.
Tongtian rarely agreed with his elder brother: "That's right, that's right, they are just envious of the fact that one of us brothers can get the title of the best in the world."
Yuan Yi scrolled through the leaderboard records and indeed saw that Yuan Shi was vying for first place and maintaining third, followed by Donghuang Taiyi, whose points quickly climbed up. Tongtian, who came from behind, also briefly took first place before falling back down.
These three are indeed the top contenders for the title of "Number One Under Heaven." Analysis reveals that the timeframe during which Donghuang Taiyi secured first place partially coincided with the period when Kunpeng unleashed its lesser demons to cause trouble in Kunlun.
Such dirty tactics, so dirty that Yuan Yi wants to ban Kunpeng's account again.
She casually sent a warning letter to Donghuang Taiyi and deducted the corresponding points from the Buzhou Mountain Dao Discussion, explaining the matter in detail. Soon after, she saw that Donghuang Taiyi had logged off again, apparently to go and cause trouble for Kunteng.
Only after seeing Kunpeng fleeing in a sorry state did Yuan Yi finally pick up the teacup in front of him with satisfaction. He then recounted the truth of the matter and Kunpeng's current miserable state to the three victims before him.
"Um."
"snort!"
Laozi and Yuanshi spoke at the same time, but they were definitely holding a grudge against Kunpeng for using such underhanded methods.
After this ordeal, they lost interest in discussing Taoism at Buzhou Mountain. Only Tongtian still coveted the title of the world's number one, and even if it meant taking Yuanshi's sword, he was determined to fight it, which drew Yuanshi's sidelong glance.
"Thanks to our young friend Yuan Yi for inviting us to Wuzhuang Temple, we learned about Kunpeng, the culprit. However, this game activity has been too turbulent. I wonder if you have any other plans in mind?" Yuan Shi sat upright with a serious expression, but his words were still somewhat gentle.
After all, Fellow Daoist Yuan Yi is not very old, and there are bound to be things he can't take into account when he acts. If it was just an unintentional mistake in setting up the system, then he would naturally have to inform him properly.
Tongtian, who had just finished fighting Buzhou Mountain, came over and put his arm around Yuanyi: "I'm different from them. I just missed you because I haven't seen you for so long. I wanted to come and see you. If you hadn't sent the invitation directly to Kunlun, I would have ignored Yuanshi and come here long ago."
Yuanshi's face immediately darkened, and he wanted to throw the whisk in his hand at Tongtian.
Yuan Yi pushed Tongtian away with one hand, trying to create some distance, but soon he was stuck to Tongtian again.
Zhen Yuanzi's face darkened as well.
Yuan Yi was too lazy to care anymore and replied by leaning against Tongtian's half-body: "This is not because of the game, but because it is an opportunity left by the Heavenly Dao. Now that this matter is over, those petty squabbles should have a basis in the future."
The contradictions arising from the massive population increase necessitate a solution, thus prompting the push for the future Heavenly Emperor to enter the stage ahead of time. This game, and the premature outbreak of contradictions, is naturally the final test left by the Heavenly Dao.
When it came to following the will of Heaven, Yuanshi believed it to some extent, but when he foresaw that a major event in the future was indeed related to this matter, he was completely relieved.
"That's fine then." Yuan Shi still frowned. He had always believed in rules and couldn't stand the mess. But knowing that these messy scenes would be managed by people or rules in the future, he could barely tolerate them.
Tongtian, however, pressed on, whispering in Yuanyi's ear, "Why are you starting to believe in following fate? You weren't like this before."
Yuan Yi smiled without saying a word, but simply pointed to the golden light of merit on the ginseng fruit tree. The golden light of merit, the hard currency of the game, is distributed uniformly by the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is the biggest investor in the game, and as the chief planner of the game, he naturally has to follow the will of Heaven.
However, there was no need to say these things too explicitly. Yuan Yi tugged at Tongtian's sleeve, intending to whisper among themselves in private, otherwise her brother's gaze would pierce through her.
Just then, Qingfeng, who looked like a child, stepped forward: "Master, Uncle Yuanyi, there are two great immortals outside who claim to be Uncle Yuanyi's friends."
-----------------------
Author's Note: Kunpeng is a being who, even after having his account banned, causes trouble offline, including but not limited to: releasing a large number of lesser demons at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, telling them that this was an opportunity for them to become disciples sought by the Demon Emperor; releasing a large number of demons to knock on Nuwa's gate, addressing them as powerful demons; wiping out all the lesser demons he released at the gate of the Styx Ancestor; and being converted into a mount by the Western disciples after being placed there...
As for why it wasn't placed at Wuzhuang Temple, who would cause trouble outside the game and end up in front of the game developers? Kunpeng's account was just banned and hasn't even cooled down yet, but Kunpeng is about to be banned too [noob].
