Chapter 378: Who is Luo Ji?
Wang Dong’s brows were deeply furrowed.
Luo Ji, as a Bronze-tier player, was now acting with so much confidence.
It couldn’t possibly be due to the strength of his Bronze Civilization, could it?
Thinking this, Wang Dong’s mind spun, and a guess immediately arose within him.
“Could it be that this Luo Ji has a very strong backer?”
This was basically the only possibility.
A new player’s biggest backer was undoubtedly their senior player.
This senior player could be an ordinary player with weak strength, but they could also be a high-tier big shot.
It was truly hard to say.
After some time, Wang Dong, who had recovered from the displeasure of his last defeat in the total war, was still a clear-headed individual.
After pondering for a while, he patiently sent another message.
“When I wasn’t around, a few players in our alliance seemed to have had a bit of an unpleasant incident with you. Who is your senior player? Let’s clarify this first, lest we cause a misunderstanding and our own people end up fighting each other.”
Luo Ji’s eyebrows raised slightly upon seeing this message.
These seemingly reasonable and flawless words made Luo Ji clearly realize that the other party was probing his background.
Then, after a moment’s thought, a flash of understanding crossed his face.
“Indeed, I’m a Bronze-tier player acting so confidently in front of a Silver-tier player. Nine out of ten times, it’s because my backer is strong enough. But this is also the truth…”
Since he had seen through the other party’s probing, he had to carefully consider how to reply.
However, replying too late wouldn’t do either, as it would easily reveal clues to the other party.
This conversation was also a technical skill.
With this thought, Luo Ji rubbed his chin. As if he had thought of something, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then he sent three words.
“Heh heh heh.”
Wang Dong’s eye twitched violently upon seeing this reply.
Before he could think further, another message from Luo Ji arrived.
“Don’t worry, it’s someone you can’t afford to provoke.”
“Damn it!” Wang Dong couldn’t help but curse when he saw the second reply.
His first reaction was that this kid needed a good beating!
If it had been a while ago when he was in a bad mood, he probably would have flipped the table and attacked on the spot.
However, his current mindset had slowly adjusted back from the irritability of his previous defeat.
He quickly exhaled a long breath.
At this moment, Wang Dong displayed the calmness expected of a Silver-tier player.
“Is this kid deliberately setting up a trap? Or does he really have such a strong backing?”
He could generally contend with players of the same tier.
In other words, someone he, a Silver-tier player, couldn’t afford to provoke had to be at least a Gold-tier big shot.
With this thought, Wang Dong immediately became cautious.
However, he wasn’t too panicked.
The other side had a backer, and so did he! Who was afraid of who when it came to backers?
It was just that if this trend continued, pulling in their respective seniors and turning it into a grand melee, he was afraid that no one would be able to end it.
Thinking of this, Wang Dong was too lazy to waste words with him.
He directly opened his friends list and looked for his senior to understand the situation.
Those big shots above, after bringing in new players, would usually greet a few other big shots they were familiar with, just to prevent their own people from fighting each other, which would lead to a chaotic and uncontrollable situation.
Logically speaking, his senior should have informed him if such a thing happened.
However, considering that he had been fighting a total war for a while and couldn’t receive outside news, he decided to confirm it to be safe.
At this moment, in a certain room in the neutral zone, several figures around a round table were mercilessly mocking each other.
It made sense, as these two factions had just finished a 21 year total war.
As the saying goes, enemies meet with bloodshot eyes.
Even if both sides ultimately reached a stalemate and reconciled, there would inevitably be a few hot-tempered ones who wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight.
“Damn it! You’re not convinced, are you? Let’s fight again then! Let’s fight for another 10 or 8 years, and see who can outlast whom!”
In front of the round table, a one-eyed young man wearing a skull eye patch seemed to have been truly provoked by the other side, slamming the table in a stance as if to declare war again.
In response, a sinister-eyed man with a snake head sitting opposite him flicked his tongue and sarcastically mocked.
“Alright, I just hope this time, someone’s invincible fleet won’t get stranded again after rushing into the strait. Don’t you agree, Lord of the Seven Seas?”
“What the hell are you talking about…”
The one-eyed young man, as if his sore spot had been touched, was halfway through his curse when a message notification suddenly interrupted him, causing his brows to furrow uncontrollably.
He was in a bad mood right now. Who was so tactless as to send a message at this time?
Upon checking, the one-eyed young man’s expression froze. It was his junior.
His junior was the type that caused him less worry.
He generally wouldn’t look for him unless he encountered some tricky trouble.
The fact that he was sending a message now meant he had encountered something difficult.
Thinking of this, the one-eyed young man glared fiercely at the other party.
“You wait right there. I need to check a message first.”
Hearing this, the snake-man let out a sneer.
The one-eyed young man ignored him and quickly clicked open the message from Wang Dong.
His brows immediately furrowed.
“Luo Ji? Hey! Did any of you bring in a junior named Luo Ji? Or does anyone know him?”
Inside the room, no one responded.
This caused the one-eyed young man’s brows to furrow even tighter.
He thought to himself, “Could it be a junior from one of those other factions?”
At the moment the one-eyed young man was thinking this, a clear, cold voice rang out in the room.
“What’s wrong with him?”
Everyone in the room was startled by this voice.
Then, looking at the figure slowly walking in, even the snake-man who had been casually coiled on his snake tail just a moment before immediately stood up.
The young man who walked in had peculiar gray-white long hair and eyes of the same color.
He wore a simple gray robe, and his pale face showed no trace of color, yet it possessed a strange handsomeness.
His slender frame might give off a slightly delicate impression, but no one present dared to underestimate him.
Because this young man was precisely one of the few beings who stood at the very pinnacle of this world, the master of the Underworld Civilization, King Yama Zhong Mo!
