"Hmm." Ji Fu nodded slightly. "This person started following me during the last break. It's obvious that these guilds are up to no good. Luckily, I noticed it in advance. Now we're just waiting for a trigger, and then everything will fall into place."
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it. Being too conspicuous is a problem too."
Yu Xiangnan's lips twitched.
Ji Fu continued, "The plan is progressing steadily. When the time is right, I will hand the recording over to Jia Yingxiao. Is that alright with you?"
Yu Xiangnan nodded seriously and replied, "Yes, don't worry."
The advantages of the [Domain] are very obvious. First, once players step into this area, they cannot use any skills or items. As a result, both tracking and spying items become completely ineffective the moment a player enters the [Domain].
Furthermore, as the lord of their own domain, they are able to keenly perceive the actions of players within their domain, ensuring a very high level of security.
There is no possibility of being spied on here.
After saying this, Ji Fu did not leave immediately. Staring at the recorder in his hand, his brows furrowed into a knot. After a long silence, he said to himself, "There are even skill items that can possess people. This is really troublesome... The people around you have silently become empty shells without a soul, and you are completely unaware. It's terrifying."
Yu Xiangnan was taken aback, and said half-jokingly, "It really sounds like a horror movie that's full of thrills."
"But why are you giving up before you've even started?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fu's hair stood on end, and he immediately retorted, "Who said that? I was just expressing my feelings."
Yu Xiangnan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
Then the conversation shifted.
"However, have you prepared the clues for the Dragon Mu Totem fragments?"
Ji Fu shrugged and replied confidently, "What's so difficult about that? As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes. That fake Ying Xiao has been searching for the whereabouts of the [Dragon Mu Totem Fragment]. It's been so long since Blue Star was invaded, he must have a lot of clues in his hands."
"If he asks later, I'll say that you're not satisfied with the items exchanged for clues and have decided to personally search for the Dragon Totem Fragments in exchange for the six-star items we have. As for when we'll find them, we can adjust the plan as needed. But I think it won't take that long..."
A hint of approval flashed in Yu Xiangnan's eyes. "Smart."
"Of course." Ji Fu smiled, then waved and left.
Yu Xiangnan watched Ji Fu's departing figure, picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and felt the scalding tea slide down her throat, but it did not dispel the doubts in her heart.
She didn't fully trust Ji Fu. Whether this seemingly meticulous plan concealed a deeper scheme within a scheme, no one could be certain.
Out of caution, she had prepared a contingency plan, so that no matter how things developed in the future, she could at least have some room to maneuver.
......
Today is the third day of the "rest period".
Just one night later, the forum was in an uproar again.
Unlike last time, this time it wasn't members of the Myriad Elephants Guild who directly provoked all Blue Star players, but rather it stemmed from a complaint from a Crescent Moon player.
Before the server merge, the servers they were on were named after their respective planets, but after the merge, the server name was changed to "Blue Moon".
The word "blue" comes first, followed by parentheses indicating the planets included. Blue Star is always listed before Crescent Moon.
Some players analyzed that this was because the top-ranked player on each leaderboard and the top-ranked guild were all from Blue Star, so the system defaulted to this sorting. However, this made the players of Crescent Moon Star feel very uncomfortable, as they felt that their planet was being slighted.
This sparked a conflict, with a Crescent Star player taking the lead in speaking out on the forum, expressing his dissatisfaction in strong terms and demanding that Blue Star players take the fight. He even challenged Blue Star to a duel, hoping to prove that Crescent Star's strength was by no means inferior to Blue Star's.
This statement was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples. Players from both planets joined the fray, engaging in heated debates on the forums, neither side willing to back down, and a fierce online conflict erupted, with war seemingly imminent.
The Crescent Moon Guild, including 【万象】, took impatient action to suppress Blue Star players, and everything unfolded as they had envisioned.
This was precisely the result of her and Ji Fu's prior planning and prediction; now, the situation is gradually falling into the trap they had laid out.
In fact, Ji Fu was also behind the scenes in stirring up this dispute caused by the ranking.
Originally, this was just a trivial matter, but once someone took the initiative to make trouble, it was like a sharp thorn deeply embedded in the players' hearts, making them angry whenever they thought about it, and the more they thought about it, the more uncomfortable they became.
Yu Xiangnan remained inactive, waiting for things to develop further.
Initially, the conflict only erupted on the forums, with players exchanging words across virtual screens. But the situation developed much faster than expected, and within just one day, the battle spread to the public map.
Here, many players could no longer contain their anger, either directly engaging in combat or setting up duels, instantly plunging the entire public map into chaos.
The scene was quite chaotic at one point.
【chat】
[Yu Xiangnan]: Did you hire online trolls for this? Haven't you gone too far? How are you going to handle this?
[Ji Fu]: Don't worry, even if something unexpected happens, I have a backup plan. It's just a bluff, a show. You have no idea how much it cost me to hire so many people; it hurt my wallet terribly.
[Yu Xiangnan]: ......
[Yu Xiangnan]: [Keep going! A tomato will always shine! .jpg]
[Ji Fu]: Received
[Ji Fu]: [It's my turn to perform.jpg]
......
[Ying Xiao's Personal Space]
Ying Xiao sat on a single sofa, one hand supporting her chin, the other hand rapidly scrolling through forum pages on her phone screen.
At this point, the discussion on the forum had reached a fever pitch, with the topic almost entirely focused on the fact that Earth needed to send representatives to participate in the battle.
Initially, everyone unanimously recommended Yu Xiangnan, but the players from Crescent Moon Star disagreed, mocking Blue Star for having no one else suitable besides Yu Xiangnan, and insisted on changing the candidate.
The impact of this incident has snowballed, with many members of the Qingyun guild volunteering to fight. Now, the situation has escalated to a point where it can no longer be resolved simply by enduring or forcibly suppressing the controversy; the situation has become extremely difficult, and the slightest misstep could lead to unpredictable consequences.
