Chapter 140 A Small Lesson
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early that morning, the unusually active 996 work schedule issued another announcement.
[Dear players, the voting channel will open at 8:00 AM today. Players will collectively decide whether to use the server merge card. Please choose carefully! Once the servers are merged, you will face more unexpected events and unforeseen circumstances. One wrong step could lead to utter ruin.]
This guiding announcement is practically telling players that merging servers is not a wise move.
Xiaoxiao Yumian: "I suggest everyone choose not to merge zones later and take control of your own destiny!"
Rock Circle: "You're a scumbag who treats human life like dirt, so don't give me any advice. I'll definitely choose to merge the servers."
Helping an elderly woman cross a red light: "I also think merging the districts is better. Putting aside everything else, merging the districts will inject more fresh blood, and maybe things will be better?"
No Brains: "996 is practically telling us outright not to merge servers, and you guys still insist on merging them? Do you even have a brain?"
Shiyan: "But why is 996 telling us not to merge servers? What impact will merging servers have on it?"
Life on the Road: "I think everyone should not miss the point. Regardless of whether the server merge will affect the 996 work schedule, we will definitely be affected! If it is replaced by an inhumane system, won't we players be the ones who suffer? I think it is best to maintain the status quo."
Wei Ai cursed, "Yeah, and 996 has been pretty good to us. Everyone took advantage of the zero-yuan purchase event a few days ago. Would 007 have given us such a good opportunity before?"
Ya Ya: "I think what you said makes sense. It seems that it's better not to be in the same district."
Free as the wind: "Yeah, I also suggest everyone choose not to merge servers. Merging servers is risky, so it's better to be cautious."
"..."
Seeing that more and more players were opting for servers that didn't mix with each other, Meng Qingyin became somewhat anxious.
Over the past three days, the three of them have also been sending messages in the chat area, trying to persuade everyone to choose to merge servers, but with little effect.
The previous "zero-yuan purchase" event won over many people with the 996 work schedule.
In addition, some people are stirring up trouble, which makes the already hesitant group even more inclined to not join the zone.
Sometimes people are just strange like that; give them a little bit of sweetness, and they completely forget the suffering they endured in the past.
They don't even consider why the instigators of these sufferings have suddenly become so kind.
However, groups are easily swayed, especially when they are bombarded with sweet talk and empty promises. They lose their ability to think critically and only see the immediate benefits.
If we can't get rid of the 996 work schedule by merging the servers this time, the 996 schedule will definitely get worse.
But having already tried to persuade them, Meng Qingyin didn't know what else to say to change their minds.
Suddenly, the three-person group chat received another message.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Judging from the current trend, everyone is leaning towards the non-aligned areas. They're so foolish! How could they be bought off with such a small, petty benefit?!"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "And they don't even consider that in just a few days after 996 took over our district, more than 30,000 people died. Only after the district merge card was introduced did they restrain themselves somewhat. Once the district merge is no longer possible, 996 will definitely revert to their old ways!"
Chen Leying: "It's no use. Some people are just short-sighted."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "So what should we do now? We finally got the server merge card, are we just going to watch it expire?"
No one in the group spoke again.
Just as Meng Qingyin was about to type, the train suddenly braked sharply.
Little Ai Elf: "Master, there are three cars blocking the way fifty meters ahead."
Meng Qingyin looked up and saw three cars of different colors on the snow-covered highway.
Next to the car stood three players.
One of the female players was wielding a spiked club and waving it around to prevent the other two male players from getting closer.
The two male players pressed closer, seemingly determined to have her.
Meng Qingyin frowned, jumped out of the car, and walked towards Sanren.
Before they even got close, they heard the man in the green wool hat lewdly say, "Little sister, the brothers just want to play with you, so you'd better know what's good for you."
Another short man chimed in, his gaze brazenly sweeping over the woman's face: "Let the two of us have some fun, and maybe we'll spare your life."
The woman held the spiked club to her chest and coldly uttered, "You're dreaming!"
Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile.
If she really can't escape this fate today, she'd rather die than let those two beasts get away with it!
The man in the hat's expression changed. "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
After saying that, he pulled out a dagger and was about to stab the woman in the chest.
The next moment, the snow on the ground moved on its own, as if it had a mind of its own, and surged toward the man's arm.
In less than a second, his arm was bound by the thick snow.
The man in the hat exclaimed in surprise, "What the hell?"
He tried to move his arm, only to find that he couldn't move it at all.
The short man quickly noticed Meng Qingyin approaching.
He warily drew his spear, assuming a defensive stance: "Were you just playing tricks? You'd better release my brother right now..."
Meng Qingyin was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and started walking forward.
The short man turned pale after seeing her message!
His lips trembled: "Mengmeng, you're Mengmeng?!"
Meng Qingyin's stun gun struck the short man without warning, and he convulsed and collapsed unconscious on the snow.
The man in the hat looked over upon hearing this, and when he saw the woman's message, he forced a smile: "Boss Meng, we have no grudges against each other, you don't need to be so ruthless as to wipe out our brothers, do you?"
Meng Qingyin walked up to the woman and asked, "Are you alright?"
She had met this female player when she was enforcing the law; she was a very lively girl, and she had a good impression of her.
Qin Mingtian shook his head, his face somewhat pale: "It's nothing, thank you, boss."
Meng Qingyin glanced at the man being controlled by Xue Tongzi, "What should we do with these two?"
The man in the hat immediately begged for mercy: "Boss, I was wrong, please don't kill me, I'm willing to give you all my supplies! I have a lot of supplies... please let me go."
Qin Mingtian stepped forward and, without saying a word, struck the man in the hat hard in the groin with his spiked club. The man in the hat immediately let out a pig-like scream and broke out in a cold sweat.
He covered his genitals with his uncontrolled right hand, his body contorted in pain like a shrimp.
Qin Mingtian didn't even glance at him. He walked up to the short man who had already fainted and struck him hard with the same stick.
The short man let out the same pig-like scream, which woke him up in pain. He rolled on the ground, clutching his crotch.
The girl's two clean and decisive blows left Meng Qingyin completely stunned.
Qin Mingtian looked at her and said, "These two are wicked and have ruined countless girls. They kill and plunder resources. This pain is just a small lesson for them."
