Excessive ferocity due to caution

Monroe Guild.

A group of level 20+ players, persuaded by Leah, staked all their savings to join him in conquering the inner city of the ruined city!

If we win, everyone will be a founding hero!

If we lose, we're all doomed!

After giving the players who were willing to take the adventure with him a pep talk, Leah then proceeded to make grand promises to them.

When they saw the six identity cards in Leah's hand, their eyes turned red with excitement!

With these six cards, what big things can't we accomplish?

We've struck it rich, guys!

After this battle, they'll probably rise to great heights!

After showing off his ID card, and seeing the incredibly envious looks below, Leya felt completely satisfied.

He began assigning tasks to these people.

Before the war began, Leah sent some players to the financial center of the ruined city to apply for resource certificates occupied by other players. Once he received the asset certificates from the other players, he could go directly to the engineering bureau to register and take their place.

However, Leah soon discovered something rather unusual.

Someone before him had also registered the asset certificates of those large guilds.

The signature was that of his former ally, Chang Yu.

"Hmph! This guy... just as I expected!"

Leah looked at Chang Yu's name and couldn't help but sneer.

He then said to his subordinates with considerable pride:

"Did you see that?"

"Many people are like that; they can share hardship, but not prosperity!"

"This guy actually secretly registered all the asset certificates of these major guilds in his own name behind my back."

"Luckily, I discovered his ambitions in advance and drove him out of my camp early on, otherwise I might have been betrayed by this treacherous and vicious villain!"

The low-level player from the guild wore a fawning smile:

"The president is truly wise!"

"I could tell at a glance that the bastard from the White Rose Guild was up to no good!"

"Now, no one can stop you from becoming the king of the Wasteland!"

His flattery struck a chord with Leah, who grew even more arrogant from his bloated frame. He patted the player who was following him and earnestly lectured him:

Therefore, an individual's strength is ultimately limited. What's important is not competing and fighting with others, but rather seizing the right opportunity!

"As long as you seize the right opportunity and stand at the forefront of the trend, even if you're a pig, you can soar to the heavens amidst the envious and jealous gazes of others!"

The guild player's expression became increasingly humble, his face practically screaming, "Guild Leader, you are my god!"

"President, you're absolutely right!"

"Having played this game for so long, this is the first time I've seen someone as capable and sincere as you, Guild Leader... You're simply a born leader!"

He is very shrewd and worldly-wise.

I know many people who were once mediocre, but after suddenly getting lucky and soaring to great heights, they like to start lecturing others with grand principles.

At this point, I don't need to use fancy words to flatter them. Just satisfying their desire to teach others will give them a great deal of satisfaction.

as predicted.

With just a few words of praise and that respectful attitude that said "you are my father," Leya reached a spiritual climax he had almost never experienced before in his life.

He gave the player a look that suggested he was a promising student, patted him on the shoulder, and promised to give him some good juice when they got back.

After completing these preparations, Leah returned to her guild's property in the ruined city, took out her six identity cards, and chose to use them!

Admittedly, using the resources provided by the Chaotic Realm Entertainment Company requires paying compensation to the company afterwards, but for Leah, 50% of the resources is not something difficult to give up.

He is ambitious.

But its ambitions are not great.

Since I can get that much anyway, a 50% reduction seems acceptable.

When all six identity cards were used simultaneously, a sudden change occurred in the celestial phenomena above the sky.

One after another, wisps of black energy, like souls, flew out of the identity card and soared into the sky, merging together to form a huge vortex!

Upon seeing the giant vortex formed by the black mist, all the guild players in the abandoned city were on high alert!

Especially the big guilds!

They knew that Leah was about to make a move!

With Leya's current strength, if she can summon all the forces within the six identity cards at the same time, the three guilds will have to join forces to deal with her!

Therefore, no matter which side Leya attacks first, the other two must provide assistance!

Otherwise, if one of the forces is wiped out by Leya first, the balance they have painstakingly maintained will completely collapse!

At that time, Leah will truly become the most terrifying giant in the inner city!

Even afterward, they still had ways to use some underhanded tricks to force Leya to gradually relinquish its resources, but what they lost... was difficult to make up for!

...

Tianwang Guild.

Miao stood on the rooftop pool terrace of the Tianwang Hotel, looking up at the clouds gathering in the distant sky, and said to the guild leaders around him:

"Act according to the agreement, prepare defenses, and be ready to respond to Leah's attack at any time!"

"Also... Zheng Piaopiao, prepare manpower immediately."

"Don't leave the city immediately. Go into hiding first, and wait until all the forces listed on those 'identity cards' have entered the inner city before you lead your men out..."

"Don't worry about anything else, just go find Zhao Yi!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Piaopiao cupped her hands and said:

"yes!"

The group immediately parted ways, contacting their subordinates via system messages. Tianwang Hotel ceased accepting guests and was completely sealed off...

...

The bugle call echoed through the camps and the library.

Vice President Yang Tao was playing with the crystal ball in his hand when, not long after, a white-haired young man walked in.

"Vice President Yang, are you sure you want to target the outer city areas?"

Yang Tao gazed solemnly at a star shimmering with red light within the crystal ball:

"Disaster stars are rampant."

"Xue Daozhi, your journey is fraught with misfortune..."

"Several Lv35 players from the Tianwang Guild perished in the outer city. Although they tried their best to cover it up, nothing stays secret forever."

"From the moment Zhao Yi entered the game, I felt that this guy was no ordinary person..."

"But his growth rate has exceeded my expectations..."

"On your journey to the outer city, you will encounter forces from other guilds, so please be extremely careful!"

"We must give it our all and not be arrogant or hold back!"

Xue Daozhi nodded:

"Don't worry, Vice President, we'll act according to the situation. We'll seize the asset certificates in the outer city if we can, and if we can't... we'll bring them back as soon as possible to support the guild's main battle!"

Yang Tao nodded:

"Be careful on the road!"

PS: First update. I went grocery shopping and cooked. I was betrayed by ice cream yesterday, so I'll have some pork rib soup to warm myself up today.
