Chapter 90 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Part 11)
According to Freya, he would not be aware of the backlash from the strong liquor.
This is a very long assimilation process, but Si Yisi has no time to wait. Because their world is ultimately a holographic game, its flow rate is different from the outside world.
Several elders of the Shengxing Guild are having a meeting.
Vice President Yu Shengraoliang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, drawing everyone's attention to him.
He glanced in the direction of the strong liquor and began, "Today, the guild encountered a boss from the expansion and suffered heavy losses. According to statistics, a total of fifty-two guild members dropped in level. As a result of the video released targeting the guild, thirteen members have left the guild."
This number may not seem like much, but it was undoubtedly a major blow during the guild's development.
"At this gathering, I want to point out the chairman's dereliction of duty in this crackdown." Yu Shengraoliang's attitude was serious, directly pointing to the strong liquor and its chilling taste.
"First, the guild leader used the forbidden scroll obtained from the guild's joint operation on the boss without authorization, but as it turns out, this reckless behavior did not bring any benefit to the guild."
"Secondly, guild actions are not solo battles or individual displays. As a viscount of the human race, you, as guild leader, should mobilize the strength of those NPC guards to resist the boss when a battle breaks out."
Yu Sheng Rao Liang frowned deeply: "The NPC guards are generally higher level than us players, yet you made such an absurd decision to besiege us while I was away."
That's enough.
Yu Sheng Rao Liang is considered the strategist of the Shengxing Guild, and Lie Jiu Qing Han usually treats him with courtesy.
But this time, his words stung the heart of the strong liquor and the cold heart.
“However, I think this might be a trap set for us by other guilds,” Yu Sheng Rao Liang said, changing the subject and no longer listing Lie Jiu Qing Han’s mistakes. “The expansion pack shows that the Demon King’s location is very close to the Beastmen, but their first target was not the Beastmen but the Humans.”
"This whole thing was strange, but not a word got out to our guild, which made us unprepared," Yu Yinraoliang summarized. "After our guild suffered a major defeat, a video targeting us circulated on the forum. After our guild leader acquired an orange weapon, other well-known guilds suddenly had a stroke of luck and acquired orange weapons several times more valuable than ours."
"This cannot be explained by mere coincidence!"
The strong liquor, chilled and refreshing, calmed his mood somewhat, and he agreed with the conclusion drawn by the lingering melody.
This must not be an accident.
"This could very well be a coordinated attack by multiple guilds against Shengxing Guild, and we are in a dangerous situation," Yu Yinraoliang said. "Therefore, I urge the guild leader to think carefully in the coming days and take on this responsibility!"
The lingering sound carried an element of encouragement.
This quickly erased any lingering resentment that might have arisen from the strong liquor's cool and refreshing taste.
"I will," Liejiu Qinghan replied calmly, feeling even more motivated as a huge rock pressed down on him.
The lingering melody made him smile slightly.
As the vice president, a position that is neither too high nor too low, one naturally has to be careful what one says.
The combination of sweet dates and sticks was a key factor in his consolidation of his position within the Shengxing Guild.
He has a good opinion of the refreshing nature of strong liquor.
While strong liquor may have some flaws such as arrogance and haughtiness, these are minor imperfections that outweigh its merits.
He was undoubtedly an ambitious man, and as a result, everything was developing in a positive direction, and he began to show the demeanor of a leader.
However, the spirit of "Liu Liquor Qinghan" itself still needs refinement, otherwise it will be unable to support a thriving guild.
"The human emperor has invited me to the imperial city," Liejiu Qinghan mentioned. "This invitation is very formal, and if successful, it will be a major opportunity for me to further advance in my status and position."
"In this way, we will recoup the benefits we paid for a viscount title and thus move into the NPC ranks. This is obviously advantageous to our guild."
The lingering sound echoed in the air as he nodded.
Those who treat NPCs like fools are the real fools.
They are considered "natives" of this holographic online game. Even though they all know that NPCs are just virtual characters, most of them have experience in other early holographic online games, so they scoff at the discrimination against NPCs.
Take Freya, the female boss from the officially released expansion pack, for example.
Liejiu Qinghan thought he had captured her heart, but in the end, wasn't he still being led by the nose?
While Yu Sheng Rao Liang offered a rather logical analysis here, some important members of various guilds felt a tickle in their noses...
It feels like someone is nagging me.
Yu Yinraoliang thought he valued NPCs highly, but little did he know that the plans he believed to be made by various guilds were actually entirely the work of an "NPC".
Ultimately, they still possess a natural sense of superiority.
NPCs are bound by lines of input data, so their actions are always constrained by the plot.
The members of the Shengxing Guild were deeply worried about this most likely "fact," unaware that the Fallen Elf and the Demon King were the ultimate winners.
They sowed discord between several major guilds without lifting a finger!
Si Yisi never expected that a player would steer things in such an irreversible direction.
The unintentional act unexpectedly achieved a very good... too good effect.
Si Yisi was taking a nap on the throne. The palace was filled with a cool fragrance, which was gentle and not stuffy, like wisps of smoke lingering around Si Yisi's nose.
This holographic online game has many complex settings; the abilities used are essentially divided into elemental power, magic power, and so on.
This is a world that embraces all things, and Si Yisi is currently conducting an experiment while maintaining his Demon King form.
He was trying to separate his own existence from this data-made shell.
The Demon King's abilities are essentially transformed from the power of darkness, yet they are unique. He has fused with half a fragment of divinity, making him neither human nor god.
The power possessed by Si Yisi can also be categorized separately and called—
The power of the Demon King.
"Your Majesty," Freya called out to Si Yisi, noticing that Si Yisi had given her a satisfied look as her clone fought.
Therefore, Freya was not wearing the black dress she wore when she first met Sis in adult form.
She neatly tied her hair into a ponytail and wore an elven riding outfit, which, in addition to its alluring charm, also added a touch of heroic spirit.
That was Freya's outfit when she fought in her clone form.
"I found out that the human emperor is planning to invite heroes to a victory celebration in the damaged imperial city."
"Celebrating victory?"
What kind of victory were they celebrating? If it weren't for preserving the strength of the dark creatures, the human race would have suffered far more losses than this.
Even if they didn't use their full strength, at least a hundred soldiers still died in the imperial city.
This is war, and bloodshed is inevitable.
Si Yisi remained unmoved. Given his position, everything he did was, in his own eyes, just.
"What about the human casualties? Didn't they make it public?" Si Yisi asked calmly.
"The reason why the human race is holding this celebration is probably to stabilize morale. The number of soldiers killed or wounded is likely being concealed by the higher-ups. Their families may receive compensation from the royal family, but the cause of their deaths will not be made public."
Not only are they unable to hold memorial services for the dead, but they also have to endure the pain to welcome the joyous celebrations held to "celebrate their victory."
The families of those soldiers...it's just too tragic.
but……
"That's politics." Sacrificing the minority for the sake of the masses is what sometimes makes it so terrifying.
Si Yisi watched Freya bow and retreat, her slender figure reminding him of the frail girl in Luo Xinxiu's memory.
Perhaps becoming a fallen elf was not torture for Freya, but a liberation.
Si Yisi activated the Demon King's power, and then...
