Chapter 1 Bird-Free Whereabouts

It would take some time to find people at Bird-Free Whereabouts, so Nie Yan opened the official website, wondering what the results were there. He took a look, and the debate was already white-hot. As the war between the two sides became more and more intense, the authorities began to intervene, putting the kill counts of both sides together, all fair data derived from the main brain.

The official website's fair data was more accurate!

Zhandao Shixue's kill count was already over eight thousand, originally leading Bullshitting Bastards by more than two thousand. After Bullshitting Bastards issued the kill order, the kill count soared wildly, catching up to within just over three hundred. In particular, the Assassin Alliance, from which about four thousand kills came, showed their formidable combat power.

The war was far from over. Zhandao Shixue, fearing that the kill count would be surpassed by Bullshitting Bastards and lose face, raised the reward to three gold coins.

A reward of three gold coins versus two gold coins was barely enough to stabilize the situation.

In order to make a fortune in this war between Zhandao Shixue and Bullshitting Bastards, many ordinary players participated, either hunting Zhandao Shixue or hunting Bullshitting Bastards. The number of participants increased.

The so-called "law does not punish the masses." Although Bullshitting Bastards dominated Carole City, their numbers were too small compared to the vast player base of the entire city, not even making a ripple. So many players were jumping in to get a bargain; the temptation of three gold coins was too great. After the event, Bullshitting Bastards couldn't possibly start a war with all the players in Carole City! So there were bound to be many people stirring up trouble.

The Bullshitting Bastards guild chat was still hotly discussing today's events.

"Boss, should we also increase the reward?"

"Executive President, ask Leader Nie Yan if we should fight them to the end and increase the reward as well?" a group of players asked in the guild chat.

.......

Nie Yan glanced at the group chat and smiled, "Stay calm. Zhandao Shixue raising the reward is itself a sign of weakness. Even if their financial resources are strong, they can't compete with us if we spend at a ratio of two to three. Bullshitting Bastards won't raise the reward. We'll hold on and see who can't hold on in the end! Brothers, we won't lose!"

Nie Yan's words reassured the Bullshitting Bastards players. What was there to be afraid of? Bullshitting Bastards had so many brothers; they would face it together if the sky fell!

"Let's continue farming gold!"

"Damn, we'll grind Zhandao Shixue to death!"

......

Nie Yan sent a message to Guo Huai, asking, "Have the gold coins from the Longyue Conglomerate arrived?"

"One hundred thousand gold coins, all received, plus an additional sixty thousand gold coins, unconditionally added," Guo Huai said meaningfully, with a smile on his face. The Longyue Conglomerate was working so hard, there must be something behind it. Nie Yan was chasing that Xie Yao before, could it be that he got her?

"Understood, what are our current losses?" Nie Yan nodded, his heart stirred, and he thought of Yao Yao. If she was Xie Yao, she would definitely help if she knew Bullshitting Bastards was in trouble.

"Lost about thirty thousand gold coins," Guo Huai said. The rewards alone cost more than sixteen thousand gold coins. The brothers of Bullshitting Bastards who were killed and could make it through on their own basically didn't ask for guild compensation. Those who couldn't make it through were given equipment by Bullshitting Bastards to compensate for their losses, which cost fourteen thousand gold coins.

Only a short time had passed, and they had lost a full thirty thousand gold coins. One could imagine how difficult the future would be. He had to find various channels to gather wealth. Nie Yan had many ways to make money in his mind.

"What do you estimate Zhandao Shixue's losses are?" Nie Yan asked. Guo Huai should be able to figure out the situation on Zhandao Shixue's side.

"I estimate the loss is around fifty thousand gold coins. Their reward money is much higher than ours, and the compensation for their members is very high, at least twenty thousand gold coins more than us," Guo Huai said. It was impossible for Zhandao Shixue to do the same as Bullshitting Bastards in wartime.

Nie Yan always adhered to a principle: to give the guild brothers generous treatment in peacetime, not to deduct from them under any circumstances, and to immediately ask Guo Huai and others to help solve their difficulties, trying to build a good emotional bond with his brothers. If a brother of Bullshitting Bastards was grateful to the guild, he would drive everyone nearby. Bullshitting Bastards had the best benefits among the major guilds, plus Nie Yan and Guo Huai were usually approachable and had a good relationship with the brothers of Bullshitting Bastards, so everyone would work so hard when they were in trouble.

On the other hand, Zhandao Shixue's guild was bloated and large, with more than twice the number of Bullshitting Bastards. Apart from receiving investment from the Century Conglomerate, their income was not much. How could they compare to Nie Yan, the rich man? In order to save expenses, they naturally reduced the guild's benefits, and there were many guild conflicts due to the large number of people. How could they be willing to go to war if they didn't have enough benefits?

"What do you estimate their total funds are?" Nie Yan asked. This was of great importance. It would be great if he could find out. Bullshitting Bastards had to spend about fifty thousand gold coins for every thirty thousand gold coins that Zhandao Shixue spent. Estimating the approximate amount could also prepare him mentally.

"More than three hundred thousand gold coins, otherwise they wouldn't dare to provoke Bullshitting Bastards, and the Century Conglomerate will definitely inject more funds in order to drag down Bullshitting Bastards!" Guo Huai thought for a moment and continued to add, "The Longyue Conglomerate's ability to collect gold coins is definitely not as good as the Century Conglomerate's. The Century Conglomerate has been operating virtual games for a long time and is deeply rooted. The Longyue Conglomerate is definitely inferior to the Century Conglomerate to a certain extent. The rest depends on you."

Nie Yan's Starry Night Potion Shop, Assassin Alliance, auction house, and super transaction channel all made a lot of money. Perhaps it was not Bullshitting Bastards that would be dragged down, but Zhandao Shixue! The reason why Nie Yan was going all out to fight Zhandao Shixue was because the Century Conglomerate stood behind Zhandao Shixue. The Century Conglomerate was indeed wealthy, and if they were allowed to develop, it would be a fatal threat to Nie Yan. So he had to spare no effort to consume some of the Century Conglomerate's financial resources first. Anyway, his auction house and shops had continuous income.

Bullshitting Bastards had so many members, they would not lose.

"Let me show you something," Guo Huai said, and he sent Nie Yan a picture.

This was a guild bill record, with a balance of 190,000 gold coins, followed by dense bills.

"Player Knight's Elegy donated 7 gold coins. Player Scroll of Light donated 3 gold coins. Player Fallen Leaves Flying Snow donated 5 gold coins... Player Smokey Water Tab donated 329 gold coins. Player Undead Bad Egg donated 129 gold coins. Player Summer Insect Frozen Words donated 157 gold coins..."

"Bullshitting Bastards' First Gold Farming Team contributed 2832 gold coins. Bullshitting Bastards' Best Gold Farming Team contributed 3289 gold coins..."

Seeing these dense names and simple numbers, his mood was surging like a storm. Behind these numbers were hidden so many enthusiastic faces.

Nie Yan couldn't help but be moved. Whether it was much or little, these were likely what they had accumulated over countless days, and some were what they had just earned.

The emotion he had invested in these players had not been in vain, and he had received their feedback. He didn't know what percentage of the players in Bullshitting Bastards were like this, but if such players accounted for 10% of the entire guild, then the entire Bullshitting Bastards would be unbreakable.

Thinking of this, Nie Yan felt confident.
