Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating-Chapter 29: The National War Excuse
"As long as you all contribute this time, we will attack the BOSS together, and we will split the rewards fifty-fifty!"
When Caleb said this, his heart was bleeding.
But he knew very well that he could not swallow this BOSS all by himself this time.
Since the other party had already come all this way from the Qingzhou territory and spent thousands of gold coins,
They were definitely determined to get this BOSS.
He did not want to engage in pointless slaughter either; if their two factions started fighting, it would be easy for other guilds to reap the benefits.
To reach this level, neither of them were fools.
They had a very precise grasp of their own interests.
Dragon God - Old Eight said with a smile on his face: "That is only natural!"
After both sides agreed, Dragon God - Old Eight sent people to provide support.
Lucien had to admire Caleb; it was a very smart decision.
If they could not stop arguing over a little bit of profit, they would not have been able to create such a large guild.
But thinking about it, if the other party were truly stupid, it would have been impossible for him to occupy the entire Jizhou region on his own in just five short years.
"Falling into the Human World, how about we make a deal?"
At this moment, Dragon God - Old Eight suddenly said to Lucien.
"What kind of deal?" Facing a big shot approaching level 40, Lucien felt no fear at all.
He might indeed be inferior to the other party right now, but that was only because he had entered the game three years later than them.
As long as he was given another month, his strength would absolutely surpass his.
"I wonder, do you have the ability to clear the Hell difficulty of the Xuanming Tower?"
"If you can, our guild is willing to pay 100,000 gold coins; you just need to take our guild members with you."
At this time, Caleb also reacted.
His son had also left the Novice Village and was currently leveling up; it would not be many days before he reached level 20.
If his son could clear the Hell difficulty of Xuanming Land,
Then the reputation of his Gods Guild would rise to a higher level.
By then, there would definitely be more players coming to Jizhou to develop.
The more people he had on his side, the higher his guild’s profits would be.
He could also squeeze out the last bit of the other party’s effort as much as possible.
Most importantly, the last first clear rewarded initial attribute points.
Those were extremely precious. It was because he was the first to enter the main city back then and was rewarded with initial attribute points that his spirit attribute was just enough to increase to fifteen points.
Allowing him to gain three spirit attribute points directly every time he leveled up.
That was how he slowly created his faction and gradually gained a firm foothold.
"Our Gods Guild is also willing to pay 100,000 gold coins!"
Want to leech off the rewards?
How could that be possible?
One had to know that the Hell difficulty rewards were so limited; if there were too many people, it would inevitably be split.
He certainly did not want his rewards to be reduced.
Furthermore, he was not short of gold coins!
In two more days, the earnings from the Goblin Forest would arrive.
That was a significantly large portion of wealth.
How could he possibly split the system rewards with others just for some gold coins now?
"I can’t take you!" Lucien bluntly refused directly.
Seeing Lucien refuse, Caleb and Dragon God - Old Eight were both secretly displeased and glanced at each other.
Caleb spoke up: "This is for the sake of all of Jiuzhou; the situation in reality is becoming increasingly critical."
"From level one at the very beginning to level thirty now, although I can handle it for now, more powerful monsters will definitely appear in the future."
"You are only one person; can you defend such a huge city?"
"But if you take a few more people to clear the Hell difficulty dungeon, relying on the system rewards, there will be more experts in our Jiuzhou. Wouldn’t it be easier to deal with monster sieges then?"
"Besides, you won’t lose too much. Isn’t this a win-win for everyone?"
At this time, Dragon God - Old Eight also spoke up: "I also heard that in half a year, the National War will begin, and there are quite a few countries with designs on our Jiuzhou."
"And if there are more experts, we will have a better chance of winning!"
"You wouldn’t want to watch our Jiuzhou lose in the National War, would you!"
"I heard that if we lose the National War, the penalties are extremely severe!"
Lucien was speechless. How could these people always want to use ’the greater good’ to pressure others, and then gain benefits for themselves?
Half a year later, the National War did indeed begin.
And it was lost, and lost quite miserably.
For the nation that lost the National War, monster grinding experience and earnings were directly halved.
Because they lost the National War, the gap between Jiuzhou and other nations widened completely.
But was the reason for all this not caused by these Nine Great Guilds?
During the National War, all players could resurrect infinitely, there was no weakened period, and there was no rule about not being able to log in for more than twenty hours after dying once.
However, the price was that every time one died during the National War, they would lose five levels.
Originally, the vast majority of high-end combat power was on the side of the Nine Great Guilds.
But not long after the National War started, the players from these Nine Great Guilds directly acted like cowards.
Afraid that their guild’s strength would be damaged, they simply did not fight.
And they also wanted to indirectly weaken those ordinary players, as it would be easier to control them that way.
They would bring out all kinds of grand principles to try every means to make those ordinary players fight.
It was precisely because of this reason that the National War ended in a crushing defeat.
And in the many years that followed, the Nine Great Guilds almost always went through the motions without exerting any real effort.
This led to a miserable defeat in the National War for Jiuzhou every year.
It greatly affected everyone’s leveling speed.
These people, each and every one of them spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but the things they actually did were simply outrageous.
And they still had the nerve to say it was for the sake of all of Jiuzhou, and had the nerve to talk about the National War.
It would be better to take some Unaffiliated Players to clear the Hell difficulty dungeon than to take their people.
At the very least, although these Unaffiliated Players were just a disorganized rabble, they really dared to risk their lives when faced with a crisis!
During the first National War, who knows how many people dropped from their original level twenty or thirty all the way down to level ten, unable to participate in the National War.
This directly led to the gap between Unaffiliated Players and the guilds becoming wider and wider.
Even when these Unaffiliated Players realized it later, it was already too late to turn things around.
Seeing that Lucien would not agree, the two looked at each other and said: "Very well, we just hope you can strive to clear the Hell difficulty of the Xuanming Tower!"
"Even if it is just your personal strength increasing, it will be of great use to our Jiuzhou. We just hope you can contribute more during the National War!"
