"Overturning Water, can you just tell us what the problem is instead of scaring us like this?"

Banana was a bit worried as he stared at Su Ran, who alternated between silly grins and blank stares. Could it be that the mission had tormented her into a split personality?

"What nonsensical thoughts are you having!"

Su Ran snapped back to reality and glared at Banana, pointing upwards with her finger, "We’ve got work to do, climb the vines, up to the sky!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Banana looked up at the vines that towered into the clouds and his face instantly fell.

...

"Gather the player troops, head for the Dark Swamp!"

A middle-aged player issued the command, and the players shouted in unison, their fighting spirit unmatched. They turned neatly and marched toward the Dark Swamp.

"Boss, is this really okay? That woman has made it clear. Whoever dares to snatch that territory will be making an enemy of her!"

Next to the middle-aged player stood a Healer clad in a white robe, from whom this remark originated. The Healer paused, stealing a glance at the middle-aged player before continuing, "I heard that woman has an official background. It’d be best to not provoke unnecessary trouble."

"Little brother, I think you’ve been living too cautiously these past few years, your courage seems to be shrinking!"

The middle-aged player snorted coldly, completely disregarding the Healer’s advice, "It’s not just our guild making this move. Tiger Supreme, Righteous and Indomitable, Dancing Demons, plus those five or six smaller guilds—such a grand force. What’s wrong with us wanting a piece of the action?"

"Who knows, if we’re lucky, we could get one or two shops, then we’d really strike it rich!"

The middle-aged player gazed into the distance and slowly said, "Even if we offend that woman to death, what of it? This is a game, not reality! No matter how powerful the officials are in the game, they too must learn to be humble."

"I hope so."

Seeing the middle-aged player’s resolve, the Healer knew it was inappropriate to say more, silently hoping that offending that woman wouldn’t have too great an impact on their gaming careers.

"Haha, but speaking of which, our employer this time is quite interesting, throwing out a hundred thousand as a deposit, with another half a million after success! They really must be loaded."

The middle-aged player chuckled with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "I can’t understand why they’re investing so much in this worthless territory situated in a low-level map— a place not even worth a rabbit’s droppings, with no value whatsoever."

"Perhaps there’s some secret hidden within, this employer doesn’t seem to be a fool."

"Who cares, as long as there’s money to be made, that’s all that matters!"

"Come on, big brother, let’s go and join the spectacle. This is a battle not to be missed and we need your command!"

Urged by the Healer, the two followed the footsteps of the player’s team towards the beginner’s map, the Dark Swamp.

Not just this place, across various locations on the God-Demon Continent, a massive number of players were gathering, all with the surprisingly unanimous goal of heading for the Dark Swamp.

...

At the foot of Demonic Treasure Mountain in the Dark Swamp.

Five or six high-level players were sitting on the ground, watching the new players battling mosquito-like zombies with visible boredom etched on their faces.

All of a sudden.

"Look, Sister Ting, the guild leader, is coming!"

One of the female mage players among them unexpectedly spotted a soaring firebird in the sky. She quickly stood up along with the others, lining up in anticipation of Sister Ting’s arrival.

"Screech!"

The firebird let out a cry and descended, and a female mage clothed in fiery red jumped from the firebird’s back. Without a doubt, this person was indeed Sister Ting.

"Rainy, how come you’ve got time to come over? There haven’t been any unusual happenings here."

The warrior player was the first to step forward, reporting the situation to Rainy one by one.

"Hm."

Rainy scanned the surroundings and didn’t notice anything amiss. She looked up at the cloudless sky with furrowed brows.

"Guild Leader, what’s wrong? You look very troubled. Is something going to happen?"

The female mage observed more carefully and, seeing Rainy’s serious expression, felt an indescribable sense of foreboding.

"Prepare for battle."

Rainy took her gaze back and said word by word, "According to reliable information, the forces of nearly ten guilds are all heading towards Dark Swamp. It looks like a fierce battle is brewing."

"Ha, finally a fight? Not easy at all! If they want to attack our territory, they’ll have to get past my broadsword first!"

The warrior player laughed out loud, showing no sign of fear despite the numerical superiority of the enemy.

"Don’t get too excited too soon. Other guild brothers don’t have time to enter the game; they’re busy preparing for Plan S. Only tens of thousands of our brothers can join in. This time, we are at a clear disadvantage!"

Rainy’s tone was unusually grave. For the first time, she felt uncertain about the upcoming battle.

"Then let the owner of this territory come forward. What is this, playing absentee landlord? It’s a critical time. If he doesn’t show up now, we won’t wait on him any longer!"

The warrior player, known for his explosive temper, spoke bluntly. But amidst his coarse words, he had a point. Rainy pondered for a moment then took out her phone and called Su Ran.

"Hello, Sister Ting."

Su Ran’s voice came through the phone, tinged with a hint of surprise.

"You, you’re really laid-back, aren’t you? Our lair is about to be overrun, and here you are, enjoying yourself out there."

Rainy said, half irritated and half amused, deliberately exaggerating the situation.

"That can’t be right. With Sister Ting there, I’m at ease!"

"Stop flattering me. It’s not as simple as you think. This time, it’s a joint army of ten guilds, nearly 500K players in full force. And I can only muster less than a hundred thousand brothers. With the situation like this, can your heart still be at ease?"

"What?"

Su Ran’s voice shot up eight octaves, skeptical, "Sister Ting, you’re not just teasing me, are you?"

"Teasing you? Heh, anyway, I’ve delivered the message. If the territory falls, don’t blame it on me. Bye!"

Rainy let out a cold chuckle, ended the call without another word, and hung up.

Without the offline status, Rainy appeared again in the sight of these people.

"Alright, I’ve notified the rightful owner of the territory. Whether he comes or not is his choice,"

Rainy clapped her hands and continued, "All we need to do is fulfill our own duties to the best of our abilities. As for the final fate of this land, let’s leave it to destiny."

"Roger that!"

Everyone responded in unison. The female mage had a sudden thought and hastily interjected, "Guild Leader Rainy, we might be able to hold off a ground assault, but if they launch an air attack..."

"Just secure the ground; I’ll take care of the air!"

Rainy declared resolutely, and after making a number of arrangements, she rode the Firebird and flew towards the summit of Demonic Treasure Mountain.

The mountain air portends a storm, a large-scale battle for territory imminent!
