Chapter 128: Successful Tower Steal

"Clan Head, Terumi Mei has not been found."

An Assassin of the Dawn Family, hidden within the shadows, dodged the bombardment from the Wuyin and Yanyin players and quietly climbed the Jiazu Chenqiang.

Konan frowned and asked, "Is she not near the Magic Teleportation Array either?"

Logically speaking,

Terumi Mei, who possessed the best equipment and strongest skills, should have been stationed near the Magic Teleportation Array to ensure the respawn point was not destroyed.

Once the Magic Teleportation Array was damaged, the dead Wuyin and Yanyin players would have no way to reach the battlefield quickly, and the front line would be pushed back by the Dawn Players.

"No."

Hearing the definitive answer and watching the Reward Points being constantly depleted, Konan vibrated her paper wings and flew toward the nearby Magic Teleportation Array at high speed.

Whether it was the Ghost Turret or the damaged Jiazu Chenqiang, they were like gluttons, crazily devouring the Dawn Family's assets.

Although she shouldn't have such feelings, Konan felt somewhat glad that Kakuzu, who managed the funds, had died in the Land of Waves.

If he were to see the empty Akatsuki warehouse now, he would probably collapse, right?

Guilt.

"Watch out for the counter-attack!"

After a perception-type professional with strong spirit attributes discovered the clue, they hurriedly commanded the others to attack the air.

Swish, swish.

Arrows and chain-like lightning brushed past her hair.

Konan was like a circling wild goose; her paper wings lit up with faint light, and she dodged all the skills with agility and speed.

When she arrived above the Magic Teleportation Array, she discovered that the extremely important respawn point had no defenses at all.

There were only a few scattered figures, players who had just respawned.

"Is there a trap?"

Frowning in thought, she turned her head to look at the precarious Jiazu Chenqiang; Konan could not afford to hesitate, and her paper wings suddenly spread out.

Countless new Talismans were scattered, sticking to the paper wings, and the wings elongated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye.

A pair of paper wings covered in dense patterns had completely blocked the sky above the Magic Teleportation Array.

Every time she flapped her wings, she could stir up storms containing energy.

Beneath these paper wings, those Wuyin and Yanyin players were as tiny as ants.

"It's the Clan Head of the Dawn Family, Paper Flower!"

"Such a strong aura, is she a Talisman Master? The Yanyin Family also has Talisman Masters who can use paper wings, but the two are completely different skills..."

"Nonsense, the aura of these paper wings is likely a Purple Skill; do you want to compare it with a Blue Potential skill?"

The gold content of a Purple Skill is very high.

Generally, a level 19 player with two Blue Potential skills and a matching set of blue armor can even go toe-to-toe with a Jonin in reality.

Not to mention the highest quality currently appearing in the Samsara Game, the Purple Skill.

Even if ordinary players obtain a Purple Skill, they cannot unleash its power without sufficient proficiency and skill experience.

Therefore, even for them, it is difficult to encounter a Purple Skill released at full power.

Boom...

The sky was filled with falling Talismans, like a rainstorm of paper.

Countless Talismans landed on the ground, or touched any object, and in an instant, they would tear open, erupting with the terrifying energy contained within the Talismans.

Fire, gale, flowing water, lightning...

And blades, spears, swords, and halberds that turned into afterimages.

This was the attack method of a Talisman Master: endless Talismans, crushing the repeatedly respawning players and sending them back to the city.

Crack!

In the center of the Magic Teleportation Array, a crack appeared, then suddenly spread, and finally shattered into countless tiny fragments of light with a boom.

"It's a bit too smooth..."

Konan frowned deeply, and after re-condensing a pair of paper wings, she returned to the Family Territory.

Without the help of the Magic Teleportation Array and relying on the advantage of the Jiazu Chenqiang, the Yanyin and Wuyin players were scattered; without follow-up reinforcements, they resisted with difficulty for a moment before fleeing in all directions.

After defeating the attackers,

The Clan Official's face did not show relief; instead, it looked as if they had fallen into an enemy's trap.

His expression was ugly, and seeing the Clan Head land on the Jiazu Chenqiang, he reported in a low voice: "Lord Konan, the special reward... is lost!"

"How could it be lost?"

"The Wuyin Family deliberately attacked at the last moment of the reward settlement. We were all focused on defending the Jiazu Chenqiang, and Terumi Mei of the Wuyin quietly expanded the family. By the time they left, we realized..."

Konan felt a headache; feelings of anger and annoyance kept welling up.

No wonder Terumi Mei had not appeared.

It turned out that while the battle was attracting the attention of the Dawn Players, she had surpassed the number of Silver Hearts of the Dawn Family's expanded family at the very last moment before the countdown ended, avoiding a direct comparison between the two sides.

Such dirty tactics.

A Fu asked suspiciously: "Master, are you not going to stop the battle between Wuyin and Dawn?"

The meaningless conflict between players would lead to serious internal attrition.

Although Fang Yi could obtain Reward Points, it was like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; the wasted Reward Points did not help the players become stronger at all.

"No need."

Fang Yi shook his head and said.

A Fu said anxiously: "Master, have you forgotten the second Mist World that was polluted and destroyed? They fought each other due to hatred and consumed a large amount of combat power; they could have resisted the pollution, but in the end, they were easily destroyed."

A glaring warning from the past.

If players continue to clash and brawl, constantly breeding hatred, the subsequent focus will shift from hunting the Polluted World to mutual destruction.

The consequences are very serious.

It is all because Master is too dark-hearted; by enticing players to compete with each other, the situation has now backfired, leading players to start large-scale slaughter.

Fang Yi poked her head and asked, "Have you forgotten about the Pollution Reward Points?"

"Pollution Reward Points?"

A Fu remembered; it was the source that her master used to win over players in the Polluted World, set as a special type of Reward Point.

It is just unclear what use they could have.

Fang Yi laughed, "Player civil war is not scary; as long as one can grasp the key, player conflict can not only promote the belief in mutual improvement but also become a butcher's knife in my hand."

"Master, are you going to enter the field yourself?"

A Fu was full of curiosity.

In this situation, if the game merchant personally entered the field to stop the conflict, no player would dare to object.

"A Fu, do you know what the most foolish thing is?"

Without waiting for A Fu to answer, Fang Yi already gave the answer: "That is, clearly possessing the authority to establish and change rules, yet actively going to hunt Pollution Monsters just like the players."

"What is the root of all conflict?"

"Hatred?"

A Fu said, appearing to understand but not quite.

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "Hatred is bred by conflict, but the cause of conflict, from beginning to end, is profit."

A single Family Badge can trigger a bloody battle between the Dawn Family and the Wuyin Family; why?

Because it can win them profit.

Terumi Mei would rather trade half of the Land of Waves, which she had just obtained and not yet warmed up, to the Rock Village in exchange for a chance to surpass the Dawn Family and obtain a Family Badge, because the Family Badge can bring huge profits.

10 points of Ice Attribute Reinforcement.

It can directly reinforce a commoner to the level of a top graduate of the Ninja Academy.

It does not look like much, but what it improves is the overall attributes; as long as Family Housing is built later to expand the number of family members, it means that in the later stages, there could be a Player Legion on the scale of hundreds, or even thousands of people.

To put it bluntly,

It takes years to train a Ninja Academy graduate before they can be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder; with the Family Badge, cannon fodder is like chives—once one crop is cut, another grows.

On the battlefield, while Shadow-level experts are certainly important, the various tasks of supporting the front line, intelligence transmission, and material escort are completely inseparable from cannon fodder.

In a situation where there is no second Senju Hashirama in the ninja world, cannon fodder can pile up and kill a Shadow-level expert.

In other words,

Cannon fodder is national power; whoever can possess a continuous stream of national power can have the opportunity to rule the ninja world!
