"What nonsense are you spouting! You're nothing but a demon! How could you bring fairness?" The city lord drew his sword and pointed it at Fang Zhiyi.
"Oh? There's a saying that justice resides in the hearts of the people... I don't need to prove anything." Fang Zhiyi's tone remained calm.
"Sweet talk...your rotten soul is already..."
Fang Zhiyi interrupted him: "Why did you start the war? I'll answer for you: because you can't make money off these people anymore. The shops in the city can't be rented out, no one is buying your exorbitantly priced potions, and the rewards you give for the tasks you issue are completely unfair to the efforts of others."
Fang Zhiyi deeply resented this. He vividly remembered the details of being scammed by NPCs in online games in his original world. He would work hard to complete a task but couldn't even recoup his costs. Equipment was sold at a 90% discount from the original price. Even worse were the so-called enhancement operations.
These NPCs in the city possessed intelligence earlier than the players, meaning they chose to exploit the players in the same way as before.
"You, you're talking nonsense!" The city lord was somewhat panicked. He could clearly feel the anger on the faces of the outsiders. This skeleton had provoked their anger with just a few words!
“I’m not making this up, you know perfectly well. As a city lord, you’re not thinking about how to develop the city, but how to exploit others… It’s truly despicable.” Fang Zhiyi sat there, as if having a casual conversation. “We’re different. Although we are demons, all the humans who have traded here know that. However… I don’t think it’s reasonable for you to want to destroy this place.”
"You..." The city lord was furious.
"No, sir, stop wasting time talking to that monster and let's fight!" the subordinate reminded him.
"Battle... Everyone prepare!" the city lord shouted.
Fang Zhiyi spoke again: "So you're admitting that you can't do it yourself, so you want to solve it with force, right?"
"You're talking nonsense!" the city lord roared. "I simply don't bother arguing with a monster like you!"
The subordinate official was somewhat worried: "Lord City Lord... I just have a bad feeling about this."
"In short, today is the day of the decisive battle between humanity and you! Outsiders, which side will you choose to help?" The city lord even wanted to gain some more manpower.
"Something's wrong! The city is under attack!" someone shouted, and all the NPCs turned around at once, as a plume of black smoke rose into the distance.
"You! You cunning villain!" the city lord exclaimed in shock.
Fang Zhiyi laughed: "Otherwise, guess why I've been talking to you for so long?"
"You..." The sudden situation at their hometown threw many NPCs into disarray. Just then, a player who had been holding back for a while shouted, "Go! Killing NPCs will also drop equipment!"
"The Skeleton King of the Demon Corridor said! All NPCs have bounties! If I pull off this job, I'll have enough for my down payment when I log off!"
"Damn it! Don't try to take it from me!"
The human NPCs' formation was disrupted, and the players, who had no strategy, rushed down in unison, causing widespread chaos.
Various spells shone brightly in the crowd, and shouts and curses resounded everywhere. However, the NPCs' equipment was always better, and some of the players who rushed to the front had already turned into white light and disappeared.
