Chapter 181: Qiancheng Gongzi

He heard the losses reported from below.

Over two thousand elite-team players collectively dropped levels, and also lost over two thousand pieces of equipment.

Wei Cheng's face was dark and terrifying.

"Assassin Alliance! Assassin Alliance! What a persistent evil spirit!" Wei Cheng shouted.

Among the heroes, we've fought them for seven years—is that not enough?

Although they took some action against the Assassin Alliance back then, Qiancheng Muxue has already dropped from fourth to eighth among the top ten guilds—is that not enough?

Thinking this, Wei Cheng turned his gaze to the quietly standing Du Xue beside him.

Du Xue sensed Wei Cheng's gaze, and met his eyes calmly.

"The plan from seven years ago was yours—don't blame me."

Du Xue replied coldly.

Wei Cheng gritted his teeth in hatred, only able to swallow his broken teeth.

Indeed, back then among the heroes, Du Xue had said she would just quit the Assassin Alliance.

But Wei Cheng eyed some of the Assassin Alliance's earlier benefits and had Du Xue help design a move against them.

To be honest, Wei Cheng already regrets it.

But the Assassin Alliance players are like a mad dog, chasing from the heroes to now and still biting people.

Global Server Announcement:

Qiancheng Gongzi: Assassin Alliance, are you really planning to start a war now?!

Golden large characters floated in the game's mid-air, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"What's going on?"

"Is Qiancheng Muxue crazy?"

"No, it seems the Assassin Alliance is looking for trouble."

"This isn't normal; the heroes have started a fight to the death between the two sides."

"Hey big brother, do you know what happened?"

Qiancheng Gongzi's golden words instantly sparked a crowd of 'melon-eating onlookers' on the world channel.

"Recent news, latest news—I… I don't know anything."

"Get lost, you upstairs prick!"

"My neighbor's uncle's friend's son's seventh aunt's eighth aunt's partner's brother's son is a core member of Qiancheng Muxue—I'm going to ask him for news right now."

"No need to ask—the Assassin Alliance players took out two of Qiancheng Muxue's thousand-person teams, and they themselves seem unscathed."

"Holy shit, no way, that's too outrageous."

"Unfortunately I'm uncultured, but one 'holy shit' gets you by worldwide."

"Any old hand knows Qiancheng Muxue used to be better than eighth."

"No-prize guessing: guess what rank Qiancheng Muxue used to have and how she fell."

"Just check the forum and you'll know it's the Assassin Alliance."

…

Global Server Announcement:

Kong Lang: This question should be me asking you—before you bother to hold someone accountable next time, first clarify what your subordinates have done.

"Wow, there's still a story?"

"Alright, there are still hidden feelings."

"Front row, peanuts, melon seeds, cola—make way for the troublemaker's legs."

"Upstairs, give me a bottle of cola (smiley)."

…

…

However, Qiancheng Gongzi ignored the rabble of melon-eating players causing a fuss below.

Upon seeing Kong Lang's announcement, Qiancheng Gongzi's expression froze for a moment.

He and Kong Lang have fought in the heroes' guild for seven years.

As for Kong Lang, he is still relatively well understood.

As the old saying goes, your friends may not understand you, but those who understand you best are surely your enemies.

Although these Assassin Alliance rats basically do things that can't see the light.

But it must be said, Kong Lang, as the Assassin Alliance leader, still wouldn't spout baseless big talk.

Moreover, at this stage everyone is focusing on the critical moment of the assault, especially since there is still a homeland defense buff and experience buff—only a fool would waste time on PVP.

So logically, the Assassin Alliance wouldn't pick a fight with us at this time.

During this period, there haven't been many clashes, and there's basically a tacit silent ceasefire agreement between us.

So if that's the case…

Qiancheng Gongzi already had a rough answer in mind, he turned to Qiancheng Leng Shao beside him and asked, "What did you do?"

"I… I didn't do anything." Qiancheng Leng Shao blinked, then replied.

"Hmph!"

Qiancheng Gongzi gave a cold snort: "Speak the truth."

"Cousin, you believe him but not me?" Qiancheng Leng Shao said pitifully.

Qiancheng Gongzi glanced at Qiancheng Leng Shao; although he was a distant cousin, he still understood him to some extent.

Originally I had thought, having a relative help out would be reliable enough.

Now it seems, not very reliable.

"You speak."

Qiancheng Gongzi looked at one of the small leaders among the two Thousand-Person Teams.

"This..." that small leader hesitated and glanced at Leng Shao.

He is under Leng Shao's command; if he really told the truth, he'd probably get sabotaged to death.

As the saying goes, King Yama is easy to fight, but little ghosts are hard to deal with.

"Rest assured, I'll transfer you to another position later."

Qiancheng Gongzi naturally saw his concern.

"Uh... okay." The small leader blinked at the words; since that was the case, he had no worries—after all, no matter how great Leng Shao became, he couldn't beat the Chairman.

Moreover, this guy usually throws his weight around over them, relying on the fact that the Chairman is his cousin.

Thus, the small leader revealed how Leng Shao had plotted to seize someone's equipment and frame that daoist.

Furthermore, the small leader ignored Leng Shao's murderous glare and continued to speak of similar things Leng Shao had done recently.

After hearing that, Qiancheng Gongzi couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Well, well, Leng Shao, what a mighty air you have."

"Cousin, you're wronging me—I'm also trying to get equipment for our guild." Leng Shao said, feeling wronged.

"Getting equipment, is that how you go about it?"

"Ordinary players aside, that daoist—since you've seen it, his gear isn't bad; do you think an ordinary player could wear such good gear? Are you a pig?"

Qiancheng Gongzi angrily rebuked Leng Shao.

"Whether you refuse or sell him materials, it's fine—but why are you screwing him over?" Qiancheng Gongzi said, somewhat resentful; even if he had simply refused, they'd still be in the right.

"Before, there was no problem either." Leng Shao muttered quietly, but he couldn't help recalling the time in Newbie Village when he ran into Mo Wen and Qian Chen.

"You're still being stubborn!"

"Alright, don't bring people along anymore; from now on you'll just be an ordinary member."

Qiancheng Gongzi looked at the small leader who had answered the question: "You will now take his place; he will be under you. Keep an eye on him—don't let him cause any trouble."

"Your contract benefits, I'll have someone bring them up later,"

"Huh?" The small leader was taken aback.

Happiness, too, came too suddenly.

"Thank you, Chairman!" The small leader, realizing this, hurriedly gave thanks.

"Alright, just keep an eye on our Leng Shao here."

Qiancheng Gongzi hummed and said.

"Yes, Chairman, I'll definitely keep a close watch on him." The small leader completely ignored Leng Shao's cold glare.

You guy, your former prestige was just borrowing the Chairman's influence; now the Chairman himself personally gave you a position and even personally gave orders.
