Chapter 219: White Orchid Rain Festival (I)
No wonder she looks so familiar.
Nan Huan thought that during what she thought were three months, Bei Xi actually experienced three years, something really happened.
Even though she was finally able to use her abilities normally in the game, she would still be regarded as an abnormal player by other players. Nan Huan thought of this and a trace of anger flashed across his face. He turned to ask President Alice, "So which guilds voted for the same thing last time?"
President Alice noticed that Nan Huan's tone was not right, and hurriedly shook her head and said seriously, "The vote was anonymous. Our guild didn't vote, did it?"
Nan Huan did not get the answer he wanted, nor did he express whether he believed what President Alice said. He just turned to look at Twelve and motioned for her to speak.
"At that time, six of the top ten guilds voted in favor, and the voting was truly anonymous."
Twelve did not hide anything from Nan Huan. She had been holding back for a long time because of this matter. Now she finally found an opportunity. "But who is our president? Even though the league competition has started, he still fought his way out of the siege and made a good impression in front of other players."
Nan Huan didn't listen to what Twelve said next. His peripheral vision was already turning to President Barbie who had returned due to an emergency.
The latter was very considerate and didn't wait for her to ask before explaining, "Our guild voted against it."
"Then the facts are clear," another voice appeared in the crowd. The Red Pink Guild President finally squeezed over, her skirt slightly wrinkled. "We also voted against it at the time. With the one guild's own vote against it, that's four votes now. That means the rest of the guilds voted in favor at the time."
"Although several guilds have fallen out of the top ten guilds for some reasons, the current situation is not very optimistic."
President Hongfen has been staying in the rest area recently. After all, the dream event last time made her a little uneasy. She always felt that she could only feel at ease if she saw the subsequent developments after the end of this copy with her own eyes. She also asked her players to collect facts in this regard.
When I came over just now, I heard the eldest lady asking about the previous vote, and I thought she wanted to see how many people were in favor, and how many guilds would vote against it.
She was not shy about sharing the news she had recently received. "The president of the 8th Guild, the Judge, who just publicly stopped the young lady, seems to have been planning something since the last dream ended. Recently, she has been frequently visiting the remaining guilds except for us. I guess she went to lobby those presidents to agree to today's vote."
"The Ninth Guild, the Secret of Witchcraft, has publicly stated that if a vote is held for the league, it will definitely vote against it."
President Alice had naturally heard the rumors as well. Before Hongfen finished speaking, she added, "Miaojiang has spread the word that you used dishonest means in the Fengmenling dungeon. Anyway, their Ninth Guild is irreconcilable with you, and their attitude is very firm."
"What the hell?" Twelve suspected that he had misheard. "If our president and eldest lady had not been kind-hearted and spared Miao Jiang and that doll's life, would they have been able to get out of Fengmenling? Now, instead of thanking them, they want to repay their kindness with hatred?"
President Barbie was standing very close to Twelve. Seeing how angry she was, she patted her on the shoulder twice to comfort her, "Miaojiang usually doesn't like our guilds. Now that the eldest lady has obtained so many pieces of faith totem fragments, how can they stay still? They will definitely make trouble. So, with President Judge's lobbying, aren't they ready to make a move?"
President Hongfen also nodded, indicating that this was the truth. "Not to mention the surrender of the Third Guild. They had a feud with you in the dream last time. The corpse-driving president is eager to take revenge. I guess they will also vote in favor."
The people present now have a deeply bound cooperative relationship, so Alice also analyzed the voting pattern. "Looking at the look on Assassin's Guild Leader's face just now, I think even if you didn't have any grudges originally, you must have formed one in this instance. So his Fifth Guild, Disorder, will most likely agree. Now suppose the Third, Fifth, Eighth, and Ninth Guilds all vote in favor, which is exactly four votes. We have four votes against, so it's a tie. The variables are the remaining Seventh and Tenth Guilds?"
"Both guilds are a little strange. I haven't heard of any obvious movement from the Seventh Guild, and they haven't made any statement. But my people got the news that their president just left and should be in the game hall now. I'm not sure what his attitude is. As for the remaining Tenth Guild, there is really no news."
Nan Huan took a while to understand what they meant. He pondered for a moment and looked at them curiously, "So you are worried that the final vote will be to agree to the league competition?"
"Ah?" Twelve didn't understand what the eldest lady meant. "Miss, do you have any way to make them vote against it like us?"
Nan Huan folded his arms, stood up from Bei Xi's arms, looked back at Bei Xi, and then threw a bomb, "Who said we are going to vote against it?"
Twelve was stunned. The presidents and players of other guilds were also stunned when they heard the eldest lady's words. For a moment, they seemed to not understand what they had just heard.
"Miss, we won't vote against it?" Twelve asked in surprise, "You mean abstaining?"
Twelve's few brain cells seemed to have been exhausted in the copy, causing her to feel a little dizzy and unable to fully understand what the eldest lady said.
"What rights did you give up?" Nanhuanren poked her forehead with his finger. "Of course I voted in favor. Besides, what are you afraid of? In the past, the president alone could win. Now there are so many people here. Who are you looking down on?"
"Forehead……"
Twelve covered his forehead and was choked and unable to speak for a moment.
They had actually automatically voted against it from the beginning, but now after hearing what the eldest lady said, they changed their minds and it seemed to be the case.
What's there to be afraid of in league matches?
In the beginning, the president was able to invincibly defeat everyone on his own. Now that he has so many partners, he is naturally stronger. It seems that there is nothing to worry about for them.
"Then why did you ask about the previous voting situation just now?"
Twelve was puzzled. She always felt that the eldest lady had led them all astray, and she muttered.
"I want to know clearly so I can take revenge?"
Nan Huan disagreed, "Last time, so many of them bullied one of them. This time, I finally have a chance to take revenge openly. Of course, I have to ask clearly, right?"
After saying that, she turned around and confirmed with the other three people again, "There's no portion for you three, eh?"
President Alice, President Barbie and President Pink all waved their hands quickly and took a step back spontaneously. Only Bei Xi had a bright smile on her face.
It was as if what they were discussing was not a matter of life and death, but just some small talk between lovers.
The other guild leaders had no objection to revenge for one guild leader, but if there was a chance to avoid a head-on conflict, they still didn't want to let their players take the risk.
Nan Huan seemed to guess what they were thinking, and added very considerately, "Of course revenge is my first priority, but how could the system let go of such a good opportunity?"
These words were somewhat ambiguous, but before anyone could figure it out or ask, the system spoke again.
[In order to prove the fairness of the system, if the final vote is to agree to open the Guild League, there will be two pieces of Faith Totem Fragments in the copy arranged by the system. ]
This sound, neither too loud nor too quiet, injected an absolutely attractive stakes into the game.
After hearing this news, all the players in the entire game hall were like wolves that had been hungry for days and finally saw food, with their eyes glowing green.
But unfortunately, the participants of this league competition had already been determined by the rules of the game. Players who did not belong to the top ten guilds could only beat their chests and stamp their feet at this time.
[As for who will be the player who gets these Faith Totem Fragments this time, it depends on your choices and the players' abilities. ]
No player cares about the hypocritical reminder. In the face of huge interests, the right to choose is no longer in the hands of the players.
After hearing what the system said, Alice and the others all looked at the eldest lady at the same time.
The latter just spread his hands and gestured, "Look what I just said?"
How could the system miss this opportunity and not cause trouble?
However, she had not expected that the system would arrange two pieces of faith totem fragments in the league instance at one time. This was almost a blatant inducement for the other major guilds to agree to start the league.
Why is this happening? It can't be that the system is complaining about the wrong it has just done.
But if this is not the reason, what is the reason for starting this league competition?
In this way, things like personal revenge seem less important. The eldest lady of a guild has now obtained four pieces of faith totem fragments, while other guilds have none.
If we can get two pieces at once, it can be considered as a bargaining chip, or we can be closer to the truth.
[The half-hour countdown begins. Please, presidents of the top ten guilds, make your choice within the time limit.
Failure to make a choice within the time limit or directly choosing to give up will be deemed as giving up.
Due to some reasons, this vote is no longer anonymous. You only have one chance to choose. Once you make a choice, it will be announced. Please choose carefully. 】
As the system finished speaking, a half-hour countdown was displayed on all the light screens in the game hall, and there were three options on the control panel in front of the presidents of the ten major guilds.
The rules of anonymous voting were changed. Was it to put pressure on the presidents, or was there some other reason?
Suddenly I am no longer anonymous, so it is quite stressful to be the first person to try something new.
Players from the guilds involved are all eagerly waiting to see who will be the first to be so stubborn as to publicly challenge the Number One Guild.
The guild, which had nothing to do with the matter, wanted to watch the excitement. For a moment, the noise just now turned into a faint sound, as if everyone had his own plan.
It wasn't until thirty seconds later that the system spoke again.
[The first guild, Servant of the Skirt, agreed to start the league competition. ]
What the hell?
The players who didn't react at first wondered if they had heard it wrong.
Was it a guild that stood up first? After only thirty seconds had passed.
Shouldn't they be against it?
How could you agree so readily?
Although the leader is very powerful, if the remaining guilds unite, they will have a huge advantage in numbers. In addition, the eldest lady is now the target of public criticism, and everyone wants the fragment of the faith totem in her hand.
How did they agree to it, so quickly?
Could it be some new scheme?
Those players who were watching the fun felt their brains were in a tangle; this was a situation they had never expected.
The man who had been waiting in the crowd was also quite surprised. After all, he thought that although this link had been opened, it would at least take some time. How could a decision be made so quickly?
The president of the Judges, who was the initiator of this incident, was also surprised. Ever since the eldest lady's big talk, the indescribable expression on her face had never gone away.
Not to mention the Miaojiang Guild President and the Assassin Guild President in the crowd. They had dealt closely with a guild, a president and a young lady, and the other party was so straightforward that they felt a little restrained.
But their surprise did not stop there, because the sound of the system hardly stopped.
[The second guild, Heart of the Machine, agreed to start the league competition. ]
[The fourth guild, Fairy Tale Realm, agrees to start the league competition. ]
[The sixth guild, Bone Under the Skin, chooses to agree to start the league competition. ]
This should be the fastest choice in history. Although there has been one before, it was an anonymous vote and it was said that the vote was deadlocked until the end. It was not as impactful as this scene.
After all, the players initially thought that the several guilds that were going to stand together with the same guild all chose to agree.
That couldn't be true because of the two pieces of the faith totem fragments, but the eldest lady already has so many of them. If she could find a way not to start the league competition, the system would probably put them in other copies. There's actually no need to be so stubborn.
"System, we have already made our selection, according to the proposal of the President of the Judges."
Nan Huan ignored the reactions of others and discussed with the system without any hesitation, "Of course, to some extent, I am also complying with the will of the system, so can I make a small request?"
She seemed to be asking questions, but she didn't even wait for the system to speak, pretending to casually mention another thing, "After all, the last time I just left the game dungeon, some people knew about the next dungeon in advance and directly entered the new dungeon. According to the rules of the game, it seems that players are not allowed to enter the dungeon when they are tired, right?"
"And I remember what happened last time. Someone deliberately distorted it..."
[Please tell me your request first.]
The system interrupted Nan Huan before he could finish his words.
Nan Huan put on a well-behaved smile, "It's nothing, actually. I just want ten days of rest to recuperate. After all, I just went through two dungeons and I'm a little tired. The league opening event should be arranged in ten days, right?"
This request was not a big deal, and Nan Huan himself did not have any particular intentions. He just simply wanted to rest.
After all, no one is made of iron. These two copies have experienced too much, and they also need time to review and prepare.
[The voting result has not yet been determined, and the start of the league is still pending. 】
The system had no way of making an over-the-top arrangement. After all, the voting process had not yet ended. But Nan Huan had already heard from its tone that the matter was negotiable.
So the next second, she asked Twelve to find a loudspeaker from the mall, "Hello? All the guild leaders, did you hear what I just said? Hurry up? Miaojiang guild leader? Judge guild leader? Assassin guild leader? Corpse chaser guild leader?"
After she read out four names, she turned to look at Twelve, "What are the names of the remaining two presidents?"
After asking, he felt that it was a bit troublesome, so he turned around and continued without waiting for Twelve's answer, "Then there are two remaining guild leaders, hurry up, what are you doing? I've been cooperating with this play, you should at least show some sincerity..."
I don’t know if it was because her tone was too arrogant, or if they had already agreed, but this matter was almost a done deal. Even if there was any conspiracy, it would be a matter for later. So Nan Huan was interrupted by the system prompt before she could finish her words.
[The seventh guild, Miracle Art, chooses to agree to start the league competition. ]
Oh? I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.
According to what several guild presidents said just now, the president of the seventh guild had not shown any enthusiasm or feedback, but now he is the first guild besides them to agree to this matter. It seems that he is not as indifferent to this matter as he seems on the surface. On the contrary, he should care about it very much.
That's why I couldn't hold back after the tone of the whole thing was set.
[The 8th Guild, the 3rd Guild, the 9th Guild, and the 5th Guild agree to start the league competition. ]
As expected, after the first guild appeared, the remaining guilds quickly chose to agree. All nine guilds chose to agree in less than three minutes.
The game hall fell silent in an instant. Just when everyone thought that the Tenth Guild would readily agree, no sound was heard for a long time.
Oh? The second surprise.
It seemed that even if everyone chose to agree, the president of the Tenth Guild still had other different opinions. However, she knew that her choice would not influence anything, so she simply chose to remain silent.
"System, has more than half of the votes been cast?" Nan Huan yawned and did a favor to the unknown person. "Announce the results. And don't forget my request just now. Hurry up and finish the process. I want to go back to sleep."
She urged him openly, using the excuse that she was sleepy, without being polite at all.
The system wanted to refute something, but what Nan Huan said was not wrong. There was only one chance to choose, and it was an open vote. There was no way to regret it. It really only required a majority of votes, and there was no need to wait until the last guild made a choice.
[Because more than half of the guilds have chosen to agree to start the league competition, the copy of this league competition - White Orchid Rain Festival, will be opened in ten days.
[The guild leader of each guild must participate. In addition, three more players can be selected. There are no other requirements.]
After the system said this, it quickly went offline, as if it didn't want to deal with Nan Huan for even a second.
The other players thought that this battle would last for a while, but they didn't expect it to be resolved in just a few minutes, so they dispersed dejectedly.
It was just a little-known conversation that took place in an inconspicuous corner.
"President, what are you looking at? Everyone has left, so it's time for us to leave too."
"That young lady is quite interesting."
