MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Saga City was not big and things like this would spread like wildfire in today’s day and age. Such a high-profile move by Quan Zhen Sect would not escape Black Dragon Guild’s eyes.

The most infuriated person in the city at this moment was none other than the Black Dragon Guild’s in-charge of Saga City, Lava Teeth.

Even though the Black Dragon Guild dominated Immortal Island, they depended largely on their superiority in numbers.

However, everyone knew that when there were a lot of people, it was also very easy for disciplinary problems to arise.

Back then, Terminator Manor spent a few years just to have over ten thousand members but was immediately destroyed by Quan Zhen Sect because of their internal conflicts.

Almost half of all players in Immortal Island belonged to Black Dragon Guild which was way more than what Terminator Manor had back then. There had to be huge societal problems existing because of how quickly they expanded. Hence, Black Dragon Guild was definitely not confident about their ruling.

As one of the top ruling parties in Black Dragon Guild, Lava Teeth knew that Black Dragon Guild was not as well-off as they looked.

Even if the Saga City players gathered during normal days, Lava Teeth would think that they wanted to resist Black Dragon Guild’s control.

“What’s the matter, Boss? Why is this urgent meeting? I was in training!”

It was the peak period for training and all of the players were obviously not very happy about being called to the office at this hour.

“Put that aside first!” Lava Teeth calmed everyone down and said, “Didn’t you guys hear that someone is recruiting players from Saga City?”

“Yes, we did…” All of them replied calmly, “So what has it got to do with us?”

‘Not meddling in affairs that are not part of your position’ was the right phrase to describe the situation currently.

The Black Dragon Guild was like any other profit gaining guilds in which all of them operated like a company.

In front of profit, no one here were true friends.

As the City Lord, Lava Teeth’s biggest job was to manage his people and make sure no players undermine the Black Dragon Guild’s rule and his job would be done.

However, the top players were not part of the leaders in the Black Dragon Guild, hence the only thing on their mind was to climb the corporate ladder and earn more money. Things outside of this were out of their consideration.

…

Even if Quan Zhen Sect’s goal was to go against the Black Dragon Guild, it was none of the top players’ business. It was out of their job scope and Lava Teeth should already be thankful if they did not stab him in his back.

This wasn’t the care merely for the Black Dragon Guild; in fact, all of the profit-driven guilds faced the same problem. Although all the players listened to their leaders, they could not reach the unity that guilds with enjoyment as their main goal could achieve. Black Dragon Guild’s expansion was too quick and there was no discipline among their people. If not for the monetary incentive that the company gave, each individual city would have gone ahead and broken off the contract to survive on their own.

After hearing the unconcerned words of his men, Lava Teeth sighed helplessly, “I heard that the players who came to recruit them were Chinese from Mainland China!”

“Chinese?”

After hearing what Lava Teeth said, all of their expressions became serious.

After all these years, there had always been some form of tension between the Japanese and the Chinese…

Everyone knew what were the grievances between these two countries. Those who were not clear of it, I, Teacher Bull can revise some history with you, but I think there is no need for that.

In real life, China was already a strong nation in the world and even though they had always loved peace and did not start any wars, they were always venting their true feelings in the game.

Especially in the game, the Chinese had always been a landslide… Back in those days, the red army had made the players in the world terror-stricken.

The Japanese players were not weak in the online gaming world either. However, even if they were as strong as the European players, they would still be crushed by the Chinese players.

After hearing that the Chinese were recruiting players in Saga City, all of them wanted to know what they were up to.

Right at this moment, a Magician called Bone Soul Pill thought and said, “Those Chinese are not thinking of attacking Saga City, right?”

“I don’t think so!” Lava Teeth shook his head and said, “If they really wanted to attack Saga City, they will not gather players in Saga City.”

The Saga City players were still Japanese after all. They should be clear about who they should help when the matter involved the national pride. Even if they did not know who to help, Quan Zhen Sect wouldn’t trust them as well.

“So what are they planning to do?” All of them were still confused.

Since they were not planning to conquer the main city, why would they need so many players for? Beat up a BOSS? It was quite impossible for people from a nation with vast territory and resources to beat up a BOSS at such a god-forsaken place.

Lava Teeth said while touching his chin, “Maybe they are on a quest!”

Lava Teeth was quite bright as the leader of Saga City and hit the right spot with his guess.

Indeed, the only reason that would make players cross country borders in the game were quests.

“If it was a quest, why did they not bring their own men here? Why would they choose to gather players from Saga City?”

“Good question!” Lava Teeth frowned and continued, “That is what I’m worried about as well.”

Normally, quests would provide information on difficulty and the aim, therefore it made more sense for Quan Zhen Sect to bring their own men… The fact that they were gathering players from Saga City was indeed a little confusing.

The unknown was always horrifying…

“Psh!” All the players loathed Lava Teeth’s overreaction and said, “Since they are on a quest, there is nothing for us to worry about! Let’s move off from here and get back to training!”

“Yes, yes! Boss is always like that. Previously, he got so worried because of a small gathering by Sea Fish Guild. He is constantly worried that he would lose his spot as the City Lord.”

“What a gutless fella…”

The players who did not say anything agreed to what was said as they started dissing Lava Teeth.

Right when all of them were making Lava Teeth a laughingstock, Chiat stood up and spoke as he thought of something, “I know what they are trying to do!”
