Chapter 330: Chapter 311 You Guys Play Rock Paper Scissors
Among the many guilds in the Hua Country Battle Zone, if players were to select the unluckiest (most unfortunate) guild, almost everyone would undoubtedly cast their valuable vote for the once top three giant, the Divine Hall.
After all, even though the tragic encounter of the Divine Hall has passed for quite some time, it is still frequently brought up for discussion.
And the main reason why the Divine Hall has come to its current state is undoubtedly its enmity with Feng Hua.
Although the Divine Hall Guild still exists at this moment, it has fallen from the top three guilds to outside the top ten.
While everyone is amazed at the unexpected fall of the Divine Hall from grace, they’re also acutely aware of why several guilds in the game are now so courteous to Feng Hua.
After all, the effort and money spent on building up a guild are unimaginable to ordinary people.
No one wants to follow in the footsteps of the ’Divine Hall’ and become another guild that’s fallen from grace.
And another crucial reason why major guilds lay low in front of Feng Hua is:
Feng Hua’s strength poses no threat or obstacle to them.
In fact, after all this time, everyone can deduce Feng Hua’s character based on his actions.
This is evidently someone who doesn’t offend others unless offended first.
As long as you don’t go looking for trouble proactively, Feng Hua is unlikely to bother you.
Furthermore, Feng Hua’s choice to establish a Mercenary Corps means he poses almost no threat to major guilds.
As Shengshi Drunkard once said long ago: Getting along with someone like Feng Hua yields far greater benefits than offending him.
It is precisely this definition that highlights Feng Hua’s special status in the hearts of Hua Country Battle Zone players.
In the eyes of players in the Hua Country Battle Zone, Feng Hua has become the representative figure here.
So his every move in the game, gradually and subtly, has become the most engrossing topic among players.
When the [Monster Siege War] event was launched, a hot post quickly emerged on the game forum.
The post’s content was titled: Which guild will Feng Hua ultimately choose to aid, with several guild options provided by players, among which the "Proud Sanctuary" guild ranked first with a 39% choice rate.
The "Famous Clan" guild came in second with a 25% choice rate.
The "Shengshi Dynasty" ranked third with a 20% choice rate.
Among the four guilds with level 3 stations, the "Luoshen" guild only received a 9% choice rate, ranking fourth.
The remaining 7% went to the "Ice and Snow Illusion City" guild.
Besides these guilds, other guilds were not even considered by players.
Whichever guild manages to gain Feng Hua’s support is sure to win in the end, this seems to have become some sort of consensus among the players.
Just as players were busily discussing Feng Hua’s choice, inside a station belonged to the Divine Court Guild in the Black Tortoise Wilderness, Divine Hall Yingying asked Fu Chen:
"So, has Feng Hua decided which guild to aid?"
Fu Chen, standing next to Divine Hall Yingying, shook his head and said:
"Not decided yet."
"However~"
Fu Chen suddenly said:
"Judging by the past relationship between Feng Hua and them, I think his chances of choosing to aid Proud Gaze are a bit higher."
Divine Hall Yingying gave Fu Chen a sidelong glance, her tone cold:
"I don’t want your assumptions. I need a definite answer."
"This task has been prepared for so long, and there’s absolutely no room for failure."
Upon hearing this, Fu Chen cautiously asked:
"May I know what this task is about this time?"
Divine Hall Yingying chuckled:
"Ever heard the saying: The higher you stand, the harder you fall?"
Fu Chen was stunned, recalling what Divine Hall Yingying just asked him to investigate, and then he realized:
"So this time regardless of who Feng Hua supports, our task is to ensure their defense fails, correct?"
This time, although Divine Hall Yingying didn’t answer, Fu Chen already saw the desired answer in her expression.
Imagine, when everyone thinks they have a sure victory with Feng Hua’s support, but end up failing their defense!
Such a strong contrast might not completely bring down Feng Hua, but it can serve as a breakthrough to gradually dismantle the image Feng Hua has fostered among players.
When Feng Hua’s influence dwindles, there will always be those ready to kick him when he’s down.
Fu Chen’s pupils dilated: They’re preparing to pull Feng Hua off his pedestal!
"But if that’s the case..."
What Fu Chen couldn’t quite understand was:
"How are we supposed to ensure their defense fails?"
After all, this time the target is those demons, not players.
But Divine Hall Yingying didn’t utter a word about Fu Chen’s confusion:
"You don’t need to know that, your main task now is to confirm Feng Hua’s chosen target before the event starts tomorrow."
Surprisingly, not only was Fu Chen not a bit displeased about this, but he readily agreed:
"Alright, I’ll immediately arrange for someone to monitor it closely."
...
As everyone was guessing which guild Feng Hua would choose to support, the protagonist Feng Hua had a headache as he looked at the few people before him.
In a private room at a tavern in Cyan Dragon City, Handsome Grinder said to Lin Yi:
"This time, I’m here on behalf of "Famous Clan"; Brother Feng, don’t mind me, help whichever guild you like."
His words sounded nice, but Handsome Grinder’s pitiful demeanor left Lin Yi speechless.
At this moment, in front of Feng Hua stood Proud Gaze Lord, Luoshen Liunian, and Shengshi Drunkard, all looking earnestly at Lin Yi, waiting for his final answer.
They had already argued over several rounds earlier, yet no one gave way, all hoping Feng Hua would choose to aid their own guild.
In general, Lin Yi would most likely choose Proud Sanctuary.
After all, from the beginning, Proud Sanctuary has steadfastly stood by his side, and helping them would be like reciprocating the favor.
But this time, Shengshi Drunkard actually offered a level 30 Legendary Tier Priest Weapon, whose attributes seemed like they were custom-made for Zhang Xinying, instantly swaying Lin Yi’s heart.
And Luoshen Liunian went even further, offering two Legendary Tier pieces of equipment. Although their attributes didn’t match the Priest Scepter from Shengshi Drunkard, they were still Legendary level!
Seeing this, Proud Gaze Lord also took out a piece of equipment with decent Legendary Quality attributes.
Actually, morally speaking, Lin Yi wanted to help Proud Sanctuary.
But in his heart, Lin Yi was more inclined towards that Priest Scepter from Shengshi Drunkard.
With this weapon, Zhang Xinying’s abilities could be greatly enhanced, not to mention it had a life-saving skill attached.
Although Luoshen Liunian offered two Legendary level pieces of equipment, their attributes didn’t stir Lin Yi’s interest, so he pretty much ruled it out.
But at this moment, Luoshen Liunian’s humble request was hard to resist!
Getting an esteemed guild leader to speak to him in such a humble tone made Lin Yi feel a bit overwhelmed.
While Lin Yi was hesitating between the three of them, Handsome Grinder came along, adding to the confusion, placing Lin Yi in a difficult dilemma.
After deliberating for a while, Lin Yi suggested:
"How about this..."
The four immediately asked:
"Who?"
Lin Yi glanced at the four, expressionless, and said:
"Why don’t you play rock-paper-scissors."
