Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating
Chapter 97: An Eye for an Eye
Far outside Qingzhou City, in a very secluded area with only level 20 to 30 monsters.
A new city had suddenly appeared. This city was certainly far inferior to the Nine Great Main Cities of the Nine Provinces.
After all, the nine major cities had a population of one hundred million Native Residents alone.
Plus the Chosen One, that brought it to two hundred million.
However, this city could only accommodate a population of over ten million.
But for the Nine Great Guilds, this was already enough.
Members of the Nine Great Guilds had not entered Battle Online for many days.
They had no place left for them in the nine major cities.
Only in reality could they temporarily ensure their own influence.
But that was not a long-term solution after all; if they didn’t enter Battle Online for a day, the gap between them and ordinary people would grow smaller and smaller.
After a certain amount of time, they would have absolutely no way to manage those ordinary people.
They might even face a backlash, as they had offended too many people.
At this moment, inside the City Lord’s Mansion of this new city named Tianxia.
Dragon God - Old Eight was sitting in the head seat, looking high-spirited.
He hadn’t expected that establishing the first guild would have such generous rewards.
Not only were there Immortal-grade items and Immortal-grade Skills, but it even added five points to all initial attributes.
Watching Dragon God - Old Eight’s high-spirited appearance, the other guild leaders were furious.
Although they had guessed that establishing the first guild might come with system rewards.
They hadn’t expected the rewards for establishing the first guild to be so rich.
This made them all feel they had suffered a huge loss.
"Old Eight, we need to renegotiate the shops in the city this time!"
Caleb picked up the cup beside him, took a sip of tea, and glanced at the high-spirited Dragon God - Old Eight.
Seeing someone take the lead, the others had no reservations.
"Caleb is right. We need to redistribute the shops in the city. You’ve profited greatly this time."
"I also think it needs to be redistributed. Your Dragon God Guild originally occupied ten percent; now that you’ve gained so much, you should give up a portion."
"We also need to redistribute that Immortal-grade item and the Immortal-grade Skills. You’ve already gained five points to all attributes, and they’re initial attributes at that."
The previously high-spirited Dragon God - Old Eight’s smile froze instantly, his face full of anger.
"We already agreed on this. Besides, our Dragon God Guild paid the lion’s share to purchase this guild founding token."
"That’s why you were willing to let me serve as the guild master of this guild."
"Back then, when I asked you to contribute more gold coins, you kept making excuses, each of you holding onto your wallets tightly. Now that you see there are benefits, you want a piece of the pie?"
However, the other guild leaders did not feel embarrassed in the slightest.
They truly hadn’t known initially that establishing the first guild would have such generous rewards.
Now that they regretted it, they naturally had to fight for more benefits for themselves.
"That won’t do. If all the benefits go to you, won’t that make the Dragon God Guild the sole dominant force later?"
"What will happen to the other eight of our guilds then? We are in a cooperative relationship now, and we must maintain a balance."
However, Dragon God - Old Eight was not so easily persuaded to give up his benefits with just a few words.
He knew just how much Immortal-grade items and Immortal-grade Skills boosted combat power.
Didn’t Falling into the Human World start by relying on ghost artifacts to contend with them?
And later, after obtaining Immortal-grade items and magic artifacts, he directly crushed their Nine Great Guilds into the ground.
Once the Tianxia Guild survived the monster siege, and he had the Immortal-grade item, Immortal-grade Skills, and his own initial attribute boost, he might not necessarily be weaker than his opponent.
The opponent was only level 30, after all, while he was already level 40.
"No. We can’t enter the nine major cities right now."
"But don’t forget, Falling into the Human World is still watching us like a tiger watching its prey."
"As long as we win the monster siege this time, relying on my own attributes, the Immortal-grade item, the Immortal-grade Skills, and a set of +8 silver equipment..."
"We will definitely be able to contend with him directly then, and we won’t have to live in fear."
"If I give both of these things to you, then who will stand against Falling into the Human World?"
Yet, who among these people was willing to see the Dragon God Guild become the sole dominant force?
Now that they had merged into the Tianxia Guild, if the Dragon God Guild became the sole dominant force, then the Tianxia Guild would become the Dragon God Guild’s private playground.
At this moment, Years - Peaceful stood up and said, "Alright, let’s stop arguing for now. Take a look at the chat channel."
Several people opened the chat channel, looked at the pinned announcement, and exchanged glances with each other.
"Let’s do this: we will first survive this monster siege."
"Hmm, I also think that’s best. Although the place we chose is secluded, we have too many people, and it’s very likely we will be exposed."
"We had best prepare for the worst. If the opponent really comes to cause trouble during the monster siege, we must find a way to hold him off."
...
As the saying goes, there is always a brave man under a heavy reward.
Although many people knew where the Nine Great Guilds’ guild territory was, they dared not reveal it to Lucien.
However, there were still people who were not afraid of the Nine Great Guilds.
And the person happened to be a member of the Nine Great Guilds.
Under the temptation of 50,000 gold coins, the person directly sold out the guild’s territory. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Lucien took the teleportation array directly to Qingzhou City.
The style of Qingzhou City was almost no different from Wing Province City.
Lucien did not linger too long and headed toward the address provided by the other party.
With Lucien’s high agility, it still took him over two hours to find the place mentioned by the other party.
This was a forest, where tall trees blocked others’ view.
Moreover, this was a level 50-60 monster area; no wonder very few people knew about this place.
However, no one knew that past this level 50-60 monster area was a level 20-30 monster area.
Although this world was very much like a game world, there were also major differences.
The monster level zones in this world were not divided so clearly.
It was possible for there to be an area with level 80+ monsters in front, while not far away was an area with level 10+ monsters.
It was precisely because of this that the Nine Great Guilds were given an opportunity to exploit.
After all, they needed to build a city, and building a city required defending against monster siege attacks.
If they found a place with too high a level, they wouldn’t be able to defend against those monsters at all.
And generally, low-level areas were known to everyone.
Therefore, this was one of the few good places to build a city.
Not only could they level up near the city, but it could also prevent people with ulterior motives from causing trouble during the monster siege.
After pushing aside a patch of bushes, the view suddenly opened up.
A city stood in the distance, and the plaque above the city gate had the two characters "Tianxia" written on it.
It seemed this was the Tianxia Guild established by the Dragon God Guild.
At this moment, there was a steady stream of people inside this city.
After all, the Nine Great Guilds had tens of millions of people.
It was just that Lucien found it a bit strange: why were there members of other guilds besides the Dragon God Guild?
Lucien quickly realized that the Nine Great Guilds must have joined forces, and because they had joined forces, they named it the Tianxia Guild.
That made sense; if they hadn’t joined forces, how could they have obtained a guild founding token?
He just didn’t know where they had obtained the guild founding token.
After confirming the address, Lucien directly mailed the 50,000 gold coins to the other party according to their agreement.
However, looking at that massive city, Lucien did not act rashly.
If he just barged in directly, the rows of massive siege crossbows standing on the city walls were definitely not just for show.
And that Magic Cannon—Lucien had seen the power of the Magic Cannon.
A single shot could raze a ten-kilometer radius to the ground.
He was only one person; a direct assault was definitely not realistic.
However, this did not mean he had no way.
He was prepared to give them a taste of their own medicine.
Weren’t they luring monsters to siege the city in reality?
Couldn’t he also lure monsters to siege the city?
It wasn’t like he didn’t have Strange Incense.
