"What just happened, boss?"
"Why does the hatred seem unstable?"
The deputy commander, Guangyin, frowned slightly and replied, "The aggro was indeed slightly diverted just now."
In a safe location some distance away, members of the Glorious Guild were closely directing the battle.
This is, after all, a large group of 10,000 people; without a commander, it would be a disorganized mess.
Different commanders are in charge of different teams.
As the deputy commander, Guangyin's responsibility is to coordinate and control unstable factors inside and outside the arena, ensuring that his guild is not unexpectedly interfered with when killing the boss.
He had already noticed the boss's unusual behavior.
As a seasoned commander who had led hundreds of team battles, he clearly judged that the boss had indeed broken free.
"To steal aggro from us... you either need a skill that forces aggro."
"Or, their output is so high that it exceeds that of our entire team."
The first guess is possible, but not very likely.
After all, what's the point of fighting for that momentary hatred?
It only makes them wary, but it doesn't actually get them the boss.
Therefore, no further inferences are needed.
It's probably the second possibility.
At this stage, the only ones whose output could surpass that of the entire team were the members of the Godslayer Guild.
It is indeed not difficult to deduce.
Godslayer Guild, they're serious...
"That must have been a ranged attack. It's probably that mage named White Deer who came."
"Search for lone vagrants in the surrounding area."
"Especially those who wear masks to conceal their identities."
"Then ask if you saw any obvious damage just now."
Upon receiving the order from the Glorious Guild, players immediately went to carry it out.
A LV1 guild can only hold 10,000 people.
But this does not mean that the Glorious Guild only has 10,000 members.
Before the main guild is upgraded, they will establish multiple branches, such as Glorious One and Glorious Two.
There are even some players who are not affiliated with any guild at all, yet they are still under the jurisdiction of the Glorious Guild.
They are often assigned to tasks that can only be performed by guilds.
"Report! According to feedback from nearby players, we just saw what appears to be a fireball that dealt over 90,000 damage!"
The damage values floated in various corners of the boss.
Players who are not in a team can still see the damage caused by other attacks.
The massive fireball that Bai Lu had just unleashed, dealing over 90,000 damage, was particularly striking.
nonsense……
Among a bunch of double-digit damage, or even single-digit damage.
Mix in a five-figure damage.
And it even starts with the number 9.
Can it be made less conspicuous?
"Take the young master?"
"Ninety thousand..."
Guangyin's eye twitched when he heard the report.
He glanced at the damage output panel of his main team...
Their guild's strongest main DPS—Saint Glory
So far, it has only dealt 100,000 damage.
But others can deal 100,000 damage with a single fireball? That difference is just too outrageous!
"No..." Guangyin's worried expression remained unchanged.
"We must find her."
"But...we don't know which one is her."
"Should we arrest all the masked players?"
"How about this... tell those players wearing masks that if they are willing to take off their masks, they will receive 10,000 Illusion Coins."
"Ten thousand yuan is just to remove a mask, and most people would probably be willing to do that."
"And the player who is unwilling is very likely the mage named White Deer."
"That one named Bailu is a woman, a sorceress, and she uses a spellbook..."
"We can't judge solely based on these characteristics. If she wants to avoid being found, she might put her hair up in a net, wear a wig, or even switch to wielding a sword when not attacking."
"Cang Qiong was born an assassin and is good at disguise. Perhaps Cang Qiong taught her how to disguise herself."
"Hmm... let's search all the players, but we must do it secretly. Only let the player wearing the mask know, and don't let it get out."
There's nothing we can do even if we don't entice them; we can't exactly grab someone by the head and shake them back and forth until their mask comes off.
Soon, some players began searching the surrounding area.
A warrior from the Glorious Guild sneaked up to a girl wearing a mask and carrying a bow.
"Friend, we're looking for someone. Could you please take off your mask? We'll transfer you virtual coins immediately if you do."
Thank you.
"Oh? Really?!"
"sure!"
The words of the Glorious Guild are generally trustworthy.
So the archer took off her mask; she really was an archer, just a random player watching others fight the world boss.
"Thank you for your cooperation. The money has been transferred. You can put on your mask now."
Soon, one player after another was searched.
"Reporting to Deputy Commander Guangyin!"
"We've found a player who absolutely refuses to take off their mask! They're now surrounded!"
"He was wearing a bull's head mask, and he was muttering something. The bull warrior never takes off his mask!"
In the fantasy world, there are many special potions with unique functions, such as voice-changing potions.
Changing one's voice from female to male is also something that can be done.
“Control him, take off his mask, and if you’ve mistaken him for someone else, compensate him with 100,000 Illusion Coins.”
"Yes, sir!"
The report came back quickly.
"Deputy Commander! He... really is a male warrior player."
"It's a warrior with the ID 'Brave Bull'..."
When Guangyin heard the report, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Damn, what's with this guy? He won't take off his mask even if you pay him?
"Deputy Commander Guangyin! Something's wrong!"
"The news has spread throughout the community!"
"It was sent by the Azure Sky!"
The Glorious Guild is going all out, spending lavishly to get everyone to take off their masks! Players wearing masks can receive Phantom Coins by removing them.
The person who posted these messages was none other than Cang Qiong from the Godslayer Guild.
The most popular person in the fantasy world.
Immediately following, another post appeared.
The Bull Warrior who refused to remove his mask was forcibly stripped of it; the Glorious Guild has already paid 100,000 Illusion Coins in compensation! Will refusing to remove the mask result in even more compensation?
The release of these two posts excited all the players in the Holy Water City.
Some of the players involved even left comments directly under Sky's post.
"I can vouch for this! The Glorious Guild really did pay me to remove my mask!"
"You can get 10,000 Illusion Coins just by taking off your mask? Is it really that good?"
"Holy crap, isn't this like picking up free money? Masks in the clothing store only cost 10 copper coins each, right?"
First, the players who were wearing masks immediately took them off.
But then, the other players objected.
Damn it, how come those masked people can get a reward just by taking off their masks?
Wouldn't we be at a disadvantage if we didn't wear masks?
As a result, some players who didn't normally wear masks started equipping the masks they had in their backpacks.
"I put on the mask! Oh, I took it off again!!"
"Idiot, how can you do that? You have to wear it for a while before taking it off, until they come looking for you! Otherwise, how will you get your reward?"
"What? The Glorious Guild is giving out money? You can get 10,000 yuan just by taking off your mask?"
"What? As long as you wear a mask to find the world boss, the Glorious Guild can give you 10,000?"
As soon as the news was released, it quickly spread among the players.
This good news about giving away money spread like wildfire throughout the entire community.
Something happened that caused the Glorious Guild to collapse.
A large group of players who were originally watching the battle rushed into the battlefield.
Some players who were originally doing quests or visiting taverns even put down what they were doing and came here to collect some money first.
Players who weren't wearing masks before are now all wearing them.
After all, there's no harm in wearing a mask.
10 copper coins can be easily obtained by killing a few monsters in the wild, and fighting world bosses is itself a visually appealing and entertaining activity.
When a world boss appears in a normal game, many players will go and try to defeat it.
Whether or not they kill, or whether or not they reward, is not important; the point is just to create a lively atmosphere.
The once relatively empty space was now packed with people.
Furthermore, everyone was wearing a mask, and Guangyin's lips twitched.
"Grass!"
We've been tricked!
This guy, Cangqiong, even knows how to use propaganda? Damn, his skills go beyond just being good at maneuvering.
However, the Glorious Guild cannot directly eliminate these players.
Even random players are being killed?
Do you want to quit?
While the eight major guilds may have their own dark and wicked sides behind the scenes, they present a harmonious and unified image to casual players, which can be considered a righteous one.
More and more players are appearing nearby.
The boss's health bar is getting lower and lower.
"Deputy Commander! We can't keep up with the investigation! There are more people arriving than we've investigated!"
Guangyin immediately sensed something was wrong.
This boss seems like he's really going to be lost!
