Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Deprivation and Sealing
Dumbfounded, Tong Tong loudly said, “Hurry up with the next match, we’re dying of waiting.”
After two had lost and two had logged out, there were four remaining guild leaders from the Spark Guild in the same area. But the remaining four were looking at each other in dismay, their mouths moving, but none of them were responding to Tong Tong’s words.
The guild ambassador of the Spark Guild also asked, “Have you guys made a decision yet? Hurry up, we all have to go on stage at some point. Is it necessary to drag things out? Establishing a guild station is a major issue.”
“Ambassador, please wait a moment, they’re still deliberating who will take the stage next,” Whirlwind hastily replied.
The Guild Ambassador of Spark Guild said, “Then hurry up, we have a lot of people here.”
“Yes, yes.” The current players no longer dared to neglect the NPCs, especially ones who represent the game’s official representatives.
Especially these power-holding NPCs, it won’t be of any good to offend them. When you need their help, you’ll definitely face some difficulties.
After this much time, players no longer regarded NPCs as simple data in the game, but treated them as real people.
After all, there were many precedent examples. Countless people had learned the hard way, warning players about this fact.
Besides, they were presently carrying out a plan, there was no need to stir up extra issues.
But the Spark Guild’s envoy wasn’t so overbearing towards Li Yao, asking in a negotiating tone, “How about ten minutes?”
Li Yao nodded and said, “No problem, the guild station construction can afford to wait for ten minutes. I’m sorry for the trouble, ambassadors.”
“No trouble at all, this is what we’re here for,” the Spark Guild ambassador said before returning to the other side. Then in a cold tone, he added, “Listen, you only have eight minutes to decide. If you exceed this time, one of you will be judged to have forfeited.”
Whirlwind was almost cursing, ‘Damn this! This is plainly biased treatment! You can’t just bully people like this! It’s as if he’s a different person after turning around.’
The audience was also speechless, although they had heard that Li Yao’s elite professional instructor was the Dark Queen, and all the NPCs in the Undead Capital would give face to Li Yao. Most people thought it was just a rumor.
But now with their own eyes, they realized it was true. The guild ambassador had control over the lines of communication between the guild and official, held a lot of power, especially for the guilds.
Usually, the guild would cater to these ambassadors, but what they saw was the guild ambassador buttering up Li Yao. The audience watched with envy and jealousy.
“It seems like they have disputes; it’s not like they’re just stalling for time,” the Unparalleled Seductress said.
Li Yao nodded and said, “The remaining people are not important. Those guilds have already started building bases. In less than two hours, they should be able to provisionally construct a council hall, which would give the guild its basic structure. Three hours would be more than enough.”
“If that’s the case, what are they arguing about?” Dumbfounded, Tong Tong asked curiously.
Li Yao thought for a moment before replying, “They probably have some trump cards left to overturn the game, and they aim to defeat your big brother. But, apparently, some people don’t agree.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, accepting this point of view. If not for this, they couldn’t imagine what the remaining four had to argue about.
Although they couldn’t hear what they were saying, they eventually saw them raise their hands, apparently resorting to voting to resolve the issue.
In the end, a female mage dressed in a magical mage robe, called Little Princess, made her way to the arena and said to Li Yao, “Come on, let me see the might of the Hunter King.”
Li Yao entered the center of the arena and calmly said, “You guys, your taste in naming is really bad. There’s absolutely no sincerity. It’s seems your boss doesn’t have great taste either.”
Little Princess chuckled and said, “You’re absolutely right. That guy really has no taste, he arranged all our names for us. There’s no helping it, taking others’ money to solve their problems. Don’t blame them, blame the bastard who hired us to deal with you.”
Li Yao raised an eyebrow and said, “So what’s your reason? Are you his mistress?”
“Stop talking nonsense, it makes me sick. If I hadn’t owed him a favor, I wouldn’t have given him a second glance. He’s seemingly a gentleman on surface, appears magnanimous, but in fact he’s just a despicable and shameless man,” Little Princess disgustingly replied.
Li Yao laughed and said, “It seems we are of the same opinion.”
“You are indeed shrewd, and you seem to know this circle very well. Looking at you, it’s clear you have figured out who wants to deal with you and is initiating this issue,” Little Princess said earnestly, studying Li Yao’s eyes.
Her whole body was wrapped in a mage’s robe with a cloak over her face. All that was visible were her autumn water-like eyes.
According to the development of the situation, Li Yao was able to roughly deduce who was hiding behind all this. After all, the circle wasn’t very big and there were just a handful of players who could orchestrate something like that. Li Yao wanted to figure it out, and it wasn’t very difficult. Chatting with this player confirmed his suspicion, and Li Yao even identified this top female player’s identity.
But Li Yao didn’t reveal her identity, nor did he continue with her topic of conversation. Instead, he asked, “Considering your character, I do believe your words. But I’m curious, if you hate this person so much, why are you still loyally executing his plan?”
Little Princess’s eyes flickered, “This is the terrifying part about this person. He’s too good at manipulating the human mind, and he knows me very well. So naturally, he knew that once I met you, we would end up in a fight.”
“Then let’s do it.” Li Yao said, readying his weapon.
“Then let’s start.” After saying this sentence, Little Princess immediately crushed a scroll in her hand, and a light enveloped Li Yao.
“Scroll of Sealing, you’re indeed rich,” Li Yao said, noticing that his equipment was returned to his backpack one by one. Even his badges and jewelry disappeared and appeared in his bag, temporarily being rendered unusable.
“You even know this,” a flicker of surprise flashed in Little Princess’s eyes.
“Seems like this scroll costs five thousand Gold Coins, you’re really going all out for my sake.”
At Li Yao’s words, the audience went into an uproar. Just to seal someone’s equipment costs five thousand Gold Coins, this was too expensive.
“Indeed, it feels really good to use something worth five thousand Gold Coins,” Little Princess laughed lightly.
Now, Li Yao had only the Blue Moon Bow left in his hand, plus an ordinary outfit. The Blue Moon Bow had also been sealed, but he could still hold it and use it. But its attributes had been reduced to that of a level 20 common equipment…
