Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Are you crazy?"

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's words, Leya instantly sprang up from his seat!

"What do you think the inner city of the ruined city is?"

"Like you, you just take a few people, run to the outer city, and wipe out all the trash players in that trash guild?"

He was extremely excited, his face flushed.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Zhao glanced to the side, and Chris, very sensibly, got up and went to the door, taking the drinks and food from the waiter.

"Have you delivered all the items?"

"It's over."

The waiter said.

Chris looked at the list:

"Put up a sign outside saying, 'Don't let anyone disturb us.'"

The waiter nodded and very considerately closed the door as he left.

Chris sat back down next to Zhao Yi, set out drinks for him, and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Zhao said as he ate:

"First...the creation of a new king is the church's intention."

Whether you agree or disagree is your own business.

"After all, there are too many people in the inner city of the ruined city. Even if it's not you, there will be others."

"The one thing this world has in abundance is people."

Leah's expression appeared calm, but her hands under the table were constantly pinching her legs.

The moment he heard that the church was going to create a new king, his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

Excitement, thrill, fear...

A flood of emotions rushed in at once!

Although the two people beside them did not speak, their trembling bodies could be seen in the shadows cast by the bright light in the room...

Leah's reason told him that even with the church's help, it would be quite difficult for them to deal with the top guilds!

Although all the players at the Great Fierce level or above in the player guilds have left the Wasteland, they have lost interest in the power struggles among players. They would only return if they learned that their guild had suffered a catastrophic disaster...

Even without these top-tier players, the leading guilds are definitely not something these small fry can compete with!

Take the Tianwang and Chuijiao Lianying guilds for example; they have at least a dozen near-major ferocious players near the ruined city!

This level of power is something that some mid-level and low-level guilds can only dream of!

Unless the church is willing to provide them with equally powerful assistance, Leah is absolutely unwilling to offend those major guilds!

If you fail to kill the opponent in one go... the consequences will be dire!

"If the church wants to establish a new king, it must show sincerity."

"Otherwise, with just the few of us... let alone the new king, even if we made a slightly outrageous move, we'd likely be dealt with on the spot!"

Leah removed the hand that was gripping her leg.

He was very nervous.

I tried to pick up some food with my chopsticks, but after several attempts, I couldn't get it into my mouth.

It seems I've forgotten.

Zhao Yi picked up his water glass, glanced at Leya and the other two, and smiled:

"If this were in the past, you certainly wouldn't be allowed to move around like that..."

"But now, times have changed."

After taking a sip of his drink, Chris immediately refilled Zhao Yi's glass.

"Remember what I told you before? In order to disrupt the balance and create conflict, entertainment companies provide significant external assistance to a select group of people..."

Leah's eyes changed slightly:

"We haven't received any help."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

He produced the identity card he had obtained from Havel's cemetery.

It was placed before Leah.

"You only have one chance to use it."

"But once is enough."

"It will provide you with enough power to deal with one or two near-Great Fiends, I know that's definitely not enough..."

"But what if you have multiple identity cards at the same time..."

As Zhao Yiyan spoke of this, a slow smile crept onto his lips amidst the shocked expressions of the three men:

"That means you possess the power to influence the outcome of this game!"

He placed the identity card on the table and slid it to Leah, who looked at the card and saw the information on it.

—Produced by Luanjie Entertainment Co., Ltd.

Use the system to access detailed item information.

After checking the weight represented by the identity card, Leya knew that Zhao Yi was not joking!

"There must be more than one of these identity cards... The entertainment company certainly knows more about the abandoned city than you or I do."

"The forces within the ruined city are uneven, with such a significant difference in strength that it is difficult for major conflicts to arise."

"In order to make the game go on better, the entertainment company must have prepared a lot of these identity cards."

"What you need to do now is obtain as many other people's identity cards as possible, even if it comes at some other cost..."

"If you get four or five identity cards... then you'll have the qualifications to challenge the 'Wolf King' of the ruined city."

Zhao Yi recounted the story in detail.

The three of them were filled with excitement...

Even if Zhao Yi hadn't said anything, they could have guessed it...

If they could get five or six identity cards like the [Gravedigger], they would have the confidence to dominate the ruined city!

If only there were a few more...

They dared to directly attack the top three guilds in the ruined city!

"What is the current state of the abandoned city?"

Zhao Yi interrupted Leya's daydreaming.

He thought for a moment and replied:

"Everything is as usual; there have been no abnormalities in our area..."

"Transaction volume, number of participants, and the small actions of other nearby guilds are all under control."

Zhao Yi:

"It seems that at least most people haven't discovered the identity card yet..."

"Go back and gather as much information as possible about any unexpected events that have happened recently. Be discreet and don't alert them. These events could very well be related to the identity cards issued by the entertainment company..."

Leah and the other two exchanged glances, then suddenly asked:

"Why don't you use your own ID card?"

Zhao Yi's eyes flashed:

"Because this time, you are the ones who are truly involved in the game."

"It's obvious that one of the things in your invitation is that you'll be sharing the spoils of the outskirts of the ruined city... but there's not much meat to be had there. To motivate you, the entertainment company will definitely give you extra rewards."

These words shocked Leah and the other two greatly!

The three of them had already checked each other's invitations.

Zhao Yi is absolutely right.

Their invitation did indeed include a clause that required the recapture of the outskirts of the ruined city.

They weren't actually very interested in this project originally.

Recapturing the outskirts of the ruined city would offend Zhao Yi, and potentially the church as well.

Compared to the interests on the outskirts of the ruined city, offending the Church of the Skull is clearly not a wise decision.

But... the entertainment company really gave too much.

It's hard not to be tempted.

"Those people at the entertainment company don't know we're all working for the church right now. Once the internal strife subsides, I can hand over the rights to the assets on the outskirts of the ruined city without a second thought..."

"Once the entertainment company's bonus arrives, the four of us can divide it up."

After Zhao finished speaking, Leya's eyes narrowed:

Is this really true?

Zhao asked in return:

"Otherwise what?"

"Why would I ignore all those free rewards from the entertainment company and waste my time fighting amongst myself?"

"What's the point?"

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound.

"After this is all over, you can just return the rights to my assets outside the ruined city, right?"

"Once you become the new kings of this ruined city... will you still care about those measly assets on the outskirts?"

Leah smiled, her eyes narrowing.

He was laughing very happily.

He stood up and extended his hand to Zhao Yi.

"Thank you for the information, Mr. Zhao."

"We'll go back and look for the remaining identity tags... Contact us immediately if we get any news."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly and shook hands with him.

"Won't you eat anything else?"

Leah shook his head:

"No."

"Time is of the essence, the identity token is more important..."

He paused, then added:

"If this works out, we will definitely allocate a piece of property in the inner city for Mr. Zhao to move into!"

Zhao nodded:

"Then I won't deliver it."

After the three left, Chris, who was sitting on the sofa, stretched out her index finger, poked it into the creamy white frosting of a pastry, picked some out and put it in her mouth, saying lazily:

"What a bunch of people who don't know how to enjoy life..."

"Such delicious food, and you didn't even take a bite."

Zhao Yi turned his head to look at her:

"You have a sense of taste?"

Chris said in a seductive tone:

"What are you saying, Master... Although I have the consciousness of an evil god, I still have a human body~"

"The human body has more than just a sense of taste..."

Zhao Yi ignored her and sat down to continue quietly enjoying the delicious food on the table.

Chris rolled her eyes as her seduction efforts failed as always.

Not daring to push her luck, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating too.

Suddenly she looked up again and asked:

"If the master just hands over the identity tokens to them like this, and they actually become the new kings of the ruined city... wouldn't that become a problem for the master?"

Zhao Yi slowly chewed the food in his mouth, swallowed it, picked up the snow-white napkin on the table to wipe his mouth, and then revealed a smile that made even Chris feel a chill run down her spine:

"The abandoned city does need a new king... but it won't be them."

"Originally, this matter was in my plan to take at least several more months."

"An entertainment company... what a wonderful gift they've given me!"

PS: 2800+

I'm sure I can reach 6000 today...

Is it possible?
