Chapter 426: Cooperation
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Even though Li Xiao Bing was the boss of the Feng Yun Guild, he wasn’t technically a member of the Feng Yun Guild. After getting killed by Wang Yu, Li Xiao Bing was directly respawned at the Twilight City’s respawn point. Afterwards, he was protected all the way from the respawn point to the Daybreak Studio Office back in the Twilight City.
Li Xiao Bing was considerably irritated. He never expected Wang Yu to be someone who was so unmoved by force or persuasion. Not only did Wang Yu dare to attack him, Wang Yu even tortured him so badly.
At the thought of how Wang Yu tortured him, cold sweat started dripping down Li Xiao Bing’s back.
Looking at Li Xiao Bing’s gloomy face, Daybreak Winter was so frightened that he dared not say anything else. The atmosphere in the office was immensely tense.
After a long while, Li Xiao Bing finally regained his spirits.
“Boss, what should we do now that they’re that reluctant to cooperate?” Daybreak Winter asked in a soft tone.
To be honest, Daybreak Winter still felt that this matter was a little overboard. He felt that friendship should remain even if they couldn’t come to an agreement in a business. Using such a method to force the other party, the combined business wouldn’t last even if they did come to an agreement.
Li Xiao Bing replied with hatred and anger in his voice, “Hmph! Inform everyone to gather at Twilight City. We will attack their headquarters again. I don’t believe the Sanguine Alliance would still dare to intervene with so many of us.”
Now that things had fallen to such a state, Li Xiao Bing had already given up on hopes that he could still work with them. All he could do now would be to remove this nail.
Daybreak Winter replied awkwardly, “But the Feng Yun Guild’s crystal contract is still with them.”
The Feng Yun Guild was the biggest guild under Daybreak Studio. If they were defeated by the Quan Zhen Sect, their losses would be significantly huge.
Li Xiao Bing replied, “Tsk! I’ve already instructed people to shift the items in our guild’s warehouse to another headquarter. The loss of one headquarter isn’t going to cost us much!”
“…”
Daybreak Winter was speechless when he heard this. In his memory, Li Xiao Bing had always been meticulous and careful when it involved money. This time, he was actually willing to sacrifice so much just to go against the Quan Zhen Sect. It seemed like they had really angered him.
“Alright, I will muster the manpower now.” Daybreak Winter pondered for a moment before helplessly sending a message to the other studios.
“Obliterate the Quan Zhen Sect? We are businessmen hence, we won’t be able to do such things…”
Those working at the studio weren’t dumb too. After receiving the message from Daybreak Winter, everyone knew that the Daybreak Studio was only trying to use them as cannon fodders.
Daybreak Winter answered, “We are not just obliterating the Quan Zhen Sect but a malignant tumour in the entire market. Without them, we will definitely be able to make a fortune peacefully.”
Not too long ago, the Daybreak Studio was reputed to be a malignant tumour in the game. Who would have thought that these people would have the chance to call someone else the malignant tumour too?
“F*ck, malignant tumour in the entire market? You really mean the malignant tumour of your Daybreak Studio right?”
People in the studio asked coldly.
Daybreak Studio and Quan Zhen Sect were the two companies monopolising the medicinal market. Currently, Quan Zhen Sect was the one with a greater market share. Therefore, getting rid of the Quan Zhen Sect should be beneficial to all the other studios in the market.
Even so, the one that would benefit the most would be the second most powerful Daybreak Studio. Hence, it was understandable why they would be unwilling to fight for free.
“F*ck!” Daybreak Winter cursed as he replied furiously, “If Quan Zhen Sect is obliterated, our Daybreak Studio is willing to fork out 80% of our medicine to share with everyone else.”
“80%?” The bosses of the various studios had their spirits lifted up immediately.
As long as the game continued to run, the potential of the medicinal market would be limitless. Even a small piece of such a large cake would be extremely beneficial for small studios like theirs. Now that the Daybreak Studio was willing to give up 80% of their share, this showed how desperate they really were.
The chatroom that the Daybreak Studio created went silent for a while before the various bosses replied, “Let’s get some things right. We are only agreeing to do this not because we want the share of the medicinal market. It is for the balance of the medicinal market. We hope that your Daybreak Studio will always remember this.”
“Of course.” Daybreak Winter sighed as he looked at all these thick-skinned and black-hearted fellas talk rubbish. He thought to himself, “In this day and age, who isn’t a fool…”
“Alright, where do we gather?”
“Twilight City!”
“We will be there in 20 minutes.”
…
On Peerless Heaven’s side, Evil Rampage had already collected enough information about the Daybreak Studio.
Daybreak Studio is one of the biggest monopolies in the circle of professional players. One of their biggest monopoly out of the 12 current games would be <>.
In <>, Daybreak Studio owned a total of 10 guilds and they are located at…their names are…and their headquarters are at…
Looking at the information in his hands, Evil Rampage pointed towards Storm City before saying, “Other than this Sunset Guild, wipe out all of their headquarters and warehouse!”
“Why are we leaving the Sunset Guild out?”
Evil Rampage smiled happily to himself, “Because we need a reason so we shall leave the Sunset Guild for the last to wipe out!”
“Alright!”
…
Twilight City. At this moment, all the bosses of the various studios had arrived at the office of the Daybreak Studio. Their subordinates had also arrived at Twilight City and they were all ready to launch an attack on the Quan Zhen Sect.
After exchanging some conventional greetings and just as Li Xiao Bing wanted to explain their strategy, a system notification popped up.
“F*ck!”
Hearing this news, all the players in the game were shocked, “What day is it today? Is there a prize for fighting another guild? Why did Peerless Heaven join the party?”
“Could Peerless Heaven be avenging the Quan Zhen Sect?” There was this rumour because the Feng Yun Guild had just finished their war with Quan Zhen Sect. While the Quan Zhen Sect didn’t lose, starting a war with them was considered a kind of provocation. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if this was Quan Zhen Sect’s way of trying to get back at them.
Someone refuted, “Quit talking nonsense! What kind of person is Peerless Heaven? Why would he be in cahoots with these people?”
“That is also true.”
Peerless Heaven was undoubtedly the number one biggest guild in the game. A small guild like the Quan Zhen Sect might not even be worthy of carrying their shoes for them.
After receiving this news, the most dumbfounded people were Li Xiao Bing and the various bosses from the different studios.
“Boss Li, what is going on? How did you offend that Evil Rampage from Peerless Heaven?”
Peerless Heaven was one of the biggest and most powerful guilds in the game and they even had players from their guild in almost everywhere in the game. Peerless Heaven was definitely a reputable name and even the combined forces of all the studios here couldn’t be compared to one-third of Peerless Heaven.
Therefore, in everyone’s subconscious mind, nobody ever treated Peerless Heaven as a proper competitor. This was similar to no matter how successful an underworld criminal organisation grow to become, they will never dare to treat the country’s army as a viable enemy to fight.
So why would this incomparably large studio find trouble with Daybreak Studio without any logical reasoning?
Because of this, all the bosses started to hesitate as to whether they should continue helping Li Xiao Bing.
