Chapter 381: A Subtle Misunderstanding
While Luo Ji was pondering various possibilities, Gao Su’s message arrived, denying his guess.
According to Gao Su, he was a lone wolf in the game, and there was no such thing as “family” within it.
“So, is that Wang Dong scheming something, trying to set me up?”
Luo Ji quickly replied after receiving the answer.
“Not necessarily.”
This time, Gao Su’s reply was instantaneous.
“According to you, Wang Dong is a Silver-tier player. If he wanted to deal with you, would he need to play mind games?”
His words left Luo Ji speechless.
Even if Wang Dong couldn’t directly attack him, he was still a Silver-tier player.
Why would he need to fear Luo Ji?
“Then what’s going on?”
“There must be some subtle misunderstanding. I don’t know the specifics.”
Gao Su, who had been offline to avoid trouble, clearly didn’t know what was happening in this world.
After a brief end to their conversation, Luo Ji temporarily decided not to dwell on the issue.
It was very likely, as Gao Su said, that some subtle misunderstanding had occurred.
He had merely intended to set up a diversion to trick Wang Dong.
Who knew what had happened afterward?
Not only had he become “family,” but Wang Dong even wanted to recruit him into the Zongheng Tianxia Alliance.
However, this also clearly showed the true nature of these player alliances as interest groups.
After a moment’s thought, Luo Ji declined Wang Dong’s invitation.
He primarily wanted to further test Wang Dong’s reaction, but the other party’s response was unexpectedly easygoing.
Wang Dong even specifically emphasized that he had already clarified the misunderstanding within the alliance, and players from the Zongheng Tianxia Alliance would no longer invade him.
The other party’s sudden easy going demeanor, as if they truly were family, made Luo Ji a bit uncomfortable doing anything more.
For a moment, his mood was subtle.
All in all, he decided to wait and see.
Whether Wang Dong had truly put the matter to rest or was planning some scheme, as a newcomer who had just risen to the Bronze tier, his situation was inherently passive.
At worst, he would bury his head in development and adapt to whatever came his way.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Dong, after sending his reply, sighed with a complex expression.
If he could bring someone under His Majesty, the Underworld King, into his alliance, it would be a huge advantage from any perspective.
However, Luo Ji had refused, and there was nothing he could do.
Composing himself and regaining some spirit, Wang Dong immediately sent another message to his senior, informing the one-eyed youth that he had handled the matter.
Afterward, it was business as usual.
This time, his Zongheng Tianxia Alliance had lost several Bronze-tier players in succession, which was no small number.
Unlike typical online gaming guilds with hundreds or even thousands of players, a player alliance here could consist of just two or three players and still be considered an alliance.
An alliance generally composed of 10 or 20 players, or even dozen of players, would definitely be considered large-scale.
From this, it could be seen that Wang Dong’s Zongheng Tianxia had actually developed quite well within the Bronze tier.
Thinking about it, he did have the Lord of the Seven Seas backing him.
How many players who knew the inside story would be foolish enough to come and cause him trouble?
And most players who didn’t know the inside story were not of high enough tier or qualified enough to pose a threat.
Back to the main topic, the Bronze-tier players who had died at Luo Ji’s hands had died in vain.
The number of players within the alliance had significantly decreased, and Wang Dong felt it was necessary to recruit more newcomers.
However, Wang Congjie, a co-leader, seemed to have gotten into a fight with another player after the meeting and was now in combat.
This matter clearly couldn’t be assigned to him.
Liu Ye was present, but considering Liu Ye’s current state, Wang Dong shook his head.
After a sigh, he simply opened the public channel and personally posted a recruitment message.
[Public Channel: Wang Dong (Player): Zongheng Tianxia Alliance recruiting! Silver-tier leader presiding! Minimum requirement for entry is Bronze tier! Limited spots, private message if interested!]
After casually spamming this message a few times, Wang Dong was about to close the interface and exit, when a name that he found very irritating popped up.
[Public Channel: Wang Kang (Player): Yo, isn’t this ‘Zongheng Tianxia’ whose members were continuously wiped out by a newcomer named Luo Ji? What’s wrong? Too many subordinates died, not enough people, so you’re recruiting?]
[Public Channel: Wang Kang (Player): What a coincidence, our ‘War King’ Alliance is also recruiting! Also with a Silver-tier leader presiding! Most importantly, I just defeated that big Alliance Leader Wang upstairs in a total war a while ago! Limited spots, minimum requirement also Bronze tier, first come, first served!]
Wang Dong’s eyelids twitched with anger as he watched Wang Kang spam two messages, almost completely overshadowing his recruitment post.
Although both shared the surname Wang, their relationship was explosively bad, or rather, they were sworn enemies.
Incidentally, Wang Kang’s senior was that snake-man, and both their seniors were also sworn enemies.
Their terrible relationship was inseparable from those two seniors, they were basically dragged into a conflict and developed animosity towards each other.
For a moment, Wang Dong’s face was a bit unsightly.
Just as he had been keeping an eye on the War King Alliance’s movements, that scoundrel Wang Kang had clearly been keeping an eye on his Zongheng Tianxia.
Over this period, the deaths of many players within his alliance had undoubtedly reached Wang Kang’s ears.
That scoundrel Wang Kang must have seized this opportunity to provoke him.
How could he back down at a time like this?
[Public Channel: Wang Dong (Player): What the hell are you talking about! The system just coincidentally gave you a few more points in the final score. Wang Kang, can you be any more shameless?]
Wang Kang decisively ignored Wang Dong’s counterattack, and while taunting Wang Dong and his Zongheng Tianxia, he continuously spammed their War King Alliance’s recruitment message.
[Public Channel: Wang Kang (Player): ‘War King’ Alliance is recruiting! Those who want to join, hurry up! That’s right, we are the ‘War King’ Alliance that defeated ‘Zongheng Tianxia!’]
At this point, Wang Dong was so infuriated by this guy’s shamelessness that he started laughing.
After quickly typing with both hands, he directly launched his counterattack.
[Public Channel: Wang Dong (Player): Oh, yes, if you join, you’ll have an alliance leader wearing a cuckold’s hat, won’t you, Wang Kang?]
[Public Channel: Wang Kang (Player): Wang Dong, fuck you!!]
[Public Channel: Wang Dong (Player): Don’t get agitated. As the saying goes, if you want your life to go smoothly, you’ll just have to get used to wearing green.]
Thus, a heated argument unfolded in the public channel.
And because the two people speaking had incredibly strong backers, for a while, no other players dared to interject.
