For the Nirvana Guild, handing over the vaccine information is a way to win over allies, and in fact, it is also a way to divert attention.
It works very well.
Because of the connection to reality, things had been relatively peaceful in the game during this period. It was also because of this that Yang Jia was able to calmly recuperate and settle down on Earth, rather than causing chaos the moment he logged off.
But now, the situation has changed again. After achieving a balance in the real world, everyone's attention has shifted back to the internal struggle within the game.
The reason why so many people gathered here, in addition to receiving news from Zhang Zitao and Bai Ting and coming here specifically to welcome Yang Jia, was also because there was a rather tricky matter.
Xuan Zijie is here to cause trouble.
News had reached Earth that the lunar frozen base had been evacuated. After all the hard work on Earth, this was the end result; it was unacceptable. While the loss was merely a loss of experimental subjects, and there were always other solutions, the problems revealed were nonetheless serious.
Hope Base had already developed a vaccine and sent people here to rescue the people, but Earth hadn't received any advance notice. This was quite unusual. After all, although the two sides had only contacted each other infrequently, this had never happened before.
Considering that Hope Star is clearly mired in war, not to mention producing vaccines, it can't even protect itself, so this situation shouldn't happen.
At this point, the situation is very clear: a huge change has occurred on Hope Star, and it may even be out of the control of the Earth Alliance.
The exact details of what happened remain to be investigated. After all, the two places are far apart, making travel difficult. However, this so-called vaccine information is undoubtedly suspicious and seems like a trap.
No one is a fool. At this point, everyone can naturally see that there is a problem.
After the leaders learned the details of the incident, they began investigating several key figures in the Nirvana Guild. Xuan Zijie couldn't get involved in this kind of thing, so he came to the game to settle the score with Yang Jia.
This incident caused quite a stir, and many people had heard some rumors. The core members of the Nirvana Guild knew that Li Bai was currently on Hope Star, and they also knew why Bai Ting had been away for a while, so they could naturally guess a lot.
So they were both happy and worried.
Hearing that Xuan Zijie had arrived, Yang Jia thought about it for a moment and understood why. So he went to meet him without delay.
Although she hadn't promised Xuan Zijie the first or only copy of the information when she gave it to him, it depended on each person's reaction. If Xuan Zijie felt he was being taken advantage of, he wouldn't have listened to her advice.
So Yang Jia had no intention of persuading him.
In fact, although Li Bai wanted to use the Hope Star to pry the entire Earth and change the world, at least for now, they could not do it.
So not only Yang Jia himself needs allies, Li Bai also needs them in reality.
Anyway, the reason they came up with this plan was simply because the NPCs in the game were in dire straits, and Li Bai's position within the Li family was also precarious. He could easily become cannon fodder. Therefore, it would be best if they could unite with other aristocratic families to deal with the Li family.
Yang Jia wasn't worried about not being able to convince Xuan Zijie. Even though he might be looking for trouble, as long as there were enough benefits, he would naturally be able to be persuaded. Furthermore, while Li Bai's actions might seem to have caused trouble for Yang Jia and made her a target of public criticism, they were also a chance to show off her strength.
At least prove that you are a valuable partner, otherwise how can you impress others?
So after sitting down, before Xuan Zijie could get angry, Yang Jia took the initiative to ask, "President Xuan, are you here for the vaccine?"
"Since you know this, you should give me an explanation." Seeing her frankness, Xuan Zijie didn't mince words. "I believe I'm not unqualified as an ally, and I hope President Yang won't treat me like a fool. Although I didn't mention that the item you gave me had to be unique, you should know that I only partnered with you for its value. Now that it's lost its value, I think I should reconsider our cooperation."
There was a hint of threat in these words, but Yang Jia's expression didn't change at all. "I understand what President Xuan means, but our cooperation is very pleasant, and I think we can continue."
"That depends on Guild President Yang's sincerity." Xuan Zijie didn't really want to fall out. After all, even though they were an alliance of interests, if he left Nirvana, it wouldn't necessarily mean the other four guilds would accept him back. If the situation became like that, he would become the weakest one among them, and might be used as a breakthrough point by both sides.
Yang Jia was not vague and directly handed over a plan.
This is a battle plan, crafted during this period with the combined efforts of the entire Nirvana Guild. It's specifically designed to address the current stalemate, aiming to break the deadlock as quickly as possible and establish an advantage. The battles in this game world are bound to last a long time. Once the chaos begins, it's bound to last a long time. If we can establish an advantage early on, we'll be able to navigate the situation more easily later.
This plan used several weapons secretly developed by the Nirvana Guild. This was their biggest trump card, and other factions couldn't emulate it even if they wanted to. So Yang Jia directly took out the plan, not worried that Xuan Zijie would pass it on to someone else.
Xuan Zijie was clearly quite sober and didn't blindly refuse. But after accepting the proposal, he reluctantly asked, "I think others might not know the situation on Hope Star, but President Yang should know about it. Perhaps we could collaborate further on this."
Although this was Yang Jia's original intention, when Xuan Zijie took the initiative to propose it, she refused without hesitation, "Now is not the time to cooperate. There will be opportunities in the future."
"When will that be later?" The more she refused, the more anxious Xuan Zijie became.
Yang Jia simply said, "After our cooperation this time is over and we have demonstrated our sincerity to each other, maybe it will be time."
Getting on board wasn't something that happened overnight. Through repeated small collaborations, she gradually tied the other party in, so that even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to escape. Before that, she had to ensure that the Xuan family was a suitable partner and that Xuan Zijie had sufficient influence within the family.
Xuan Zijie's eyes flashed, and he said decisively, "Okay, then let's complete this battle plan first."
Although Yang Jia wanted to target the Dawn Guild, the current situation was that even if she still had allies, she might not be able to defeat them, and she might even lose herself. At this point, if she didn't move, then nothing would happen. If she did move, she had to achieve her goal with drastic measures, leaving them no room for respite. And right now, they clearly couldn't do that.
Therefore, in Yang Jia's plan, his opponent was the Shengshi Guild, which was in a similar situation to his own.
First, the Shengshi Guild was separated from its allies, isolated. Secondly, its strength was inferior to that of the Dawn and Thunder Guilds. Furthermore, according to the intelligence provided by Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie, the Shengshi Guild was high-profile and had offended many. If they were in trouble, the other three guilds might not desperately come to their rescue. This presented an opportunity.
The main force of the battle was the newly developed new weapon. Although it was logically difficult for the Nirvana Guild to transfer supplies to its allies due to the enemy, the greatest advantage of modern production was its mass production on assembly lines. All they had to do was provide the manufacturing methods.
Of course, the main force in research and development is the Spark Guild. After all, they are one of our own, so Yang Jia feels more at ease.
So, before the four major guild alliances could react upon learning of Yang Jia's reappearance, a few days later, a team composed of players from the Silver Guild, the Forget Me Not Guild, and the Spark Guild quickly raided, surrounded several cities under the name of the Shengshi Guild, and launched a brazen attack.
This time, the attack lasted two hours from start to finish. Before the allies of the Shengshi Guild could react or offer support, the area had already been taken down.
Not to mention the enemies, even the allies of the Nirvana Guild did not expect it to be so fast and efficient.
Of course, it's hard to say how much success this time was. This is the difference between games and reality. In real life, if you capture a city, it's yours. As long as you don't get driven away, you're good to go. But in the game, players constantly refresh, and if you don't occupy the city map, the territory isn't considered yours.
However, with the help of Yang Jia, several major guilds had already connected their respective territories into one piece, and the map was naturally included in the seals of the presidents.
So this attack looked massive, but in reality, apart from shocking the Shengshi Guild, it didn't do much good. Instead, it caused heavy casualties among the NPCs in the cities belonging to the Shengshi Guild. Others might not care about this, but Yang Jia couldn't.
Although wars always involve casualties, and wars in games are even more so, where humans can kill humans, Yang Jia doesn't dwell on some NPCs. However, through this attack, she finally saw something clearly.
The game world must eventually be connected to the real world.
If the real world changes, the game will also change accordingly. Of course, this doesn't mean that games can't affect reality, but that method shouldn't be war.
