Chapter 1 I'm Burning Your Dream!

"I'm burning your f**king dream!"

In the hall of the Black Star Palace's outer base, a heartfelt roar suddenly echoed, followed by a white beam of light that quickly transformed into a resurrected legion player with the ID \[Flying Cloud Below], clearly from Huaxia (China).

Many players were coming and going in the hall, and they turned their heads when they heard the loud roar, their eyes converging on Flying Cloud Below. They saw his chest rising and falling sharply, his face full of indignation.

"What's wrong, bro? So much anger, who got you?" An old player passing by was not surprised.

"I was just corpse-camped by a bunch of foreigners, and they even mocked me. This is the third time!" Flying Cloud Below was furious.

"Alas, it's now Version 4.0 World Server. There are players from other camps everywhere. It's not like the previous versions when we were in the Shattered Star Ring. You have to be careful when you're out and about," the old player casually replied, shaking his head and walking away.

Flying Cloud Below's face was not very good.

He was a new player who only joined in Version 3.0. He liked leisure and didn't like PK (player versus player combat).

In the last version, the World Server was not yet open. As a legion player, he was basically among his own people when he went out, and he was rarely attacked by other players, so he had a comfortable experience. But now that he no longer had the safe experience of the previous version, he had been maliciously interfered with by players from other forces several times while doing missions, which was extremely annoying.

The huge gap between the two versions made him very uncomfortable, and he felt that the gaming experience had plummeted.

He turned his head and glanced around. Foreign ID players were scattered around, mostly new recruits who had recently joined the legion. A small group of them deliberately scanned the legion players coming and going, occasionally casting their eyes on him... This kind of behavior likely meant they were "spies" sent by foreign guilds.

"Recently, corpse-camping incidents have been happening frequently. It's probably the fault of these spies. My whereabouts were leaked by them, which led to me being camped," Flying Cloud Below felt that he had guessed correctly, and his teeth itched with anger.

He didn't like the foreign players who had recently joined the legion very much. Many Huaxia players shared the same sentiment as him—the previous few versions were so comfortable, everyone was from Huaxia, but since these foreigners came, they had to be on guard. The internal environment had deteriorated, making many people tired of playing.

Flying Cloud Below was a new player from the previous version, unlike those veteran players who had deep feelings for the legion, nor had he invested too much time and energy in the legion. At this time, he couldn't help but have the idea of switching to another camp.

"I really don't want to encounter the corpse-camping crap again. It really affects my mood."

Just as he was thinking this, the communicators of every player in the hall suddenly rang at the same time. The walking players glanced at each other in surprise, stopped one after another, and looked down to check the messages.

Flying Cloud Below also took out his communicator and took a closer look. It was a legion internal program announcement prompt, and three messages were sent in a row.

\[Legion Announcement 1 - Newcomer Preferential Policy]

\[To all legion warriors, now is the time of the great development of the Flickering World. Recently, we have recruited many new warriors from other star systems. In order to allow newcomers to quickly integrate into the legion, we are re-enabling the policy of supporting newcomers. Old members will take newcomers to perform tasks, and both parties will receive additional preferential treatment. The legion will provide certain subsidies, not limited to Enas, contribution points, ammunition replenishment, free enhancement or repair opportunities, and other benefits. See \[Appendix - Welfare Instructions] (Fold/Expand) for details. We hope everyone will actively help newcomers... No matter which star system you come from, as long as you join the Black Star Legion, we are all comrades who can entrust our backs to each other – Legion Commander Black Star]

"So it's this policy," Flying Cloud Below's heart stirred.

In the last version, the legion recruited a bunch of old Russian and Australian players from the Star Cluster Corridor, and a similar policy was issued at that time. After a period of implementation and achieving results, this welfare plan was temporarily frozen.

The effectiveness of this plan was confirmed in the last version. This welfare mobilized the enthusiasm of old players to bring new players, quickly shortening the distance between the old and the new, and encouraging making friends, so that they wouldn't just play their own games. This allowed the old Russian and Australian players of the last version to quickly integrate into the legion.

Now, the old Russian and Australian players in the legion are different from the newly joined foreigners. They get along relatively well with Huaxia players. And Han Xiao re-proposed this plan in order to allow the recently joined ordinary players from various countries to quickly integrate into the legion collective, feel the warmth of being carried by old players, and try to eliminate the estrangement brought about by unfamiliarity as much as possible.

Flying Cloud Below wasn't surprised by this announcement, but he was a little indignant... Now that many old players are being corpse-camped, the legion still wants them to bring newcomers?

Although spies only account for a very small part, he couldn't help but vent his anger on the entire group of newcomers. So in his eyes, this plan was like being bullied, but still having to help the people who bullied him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"This is too much!"

Flying Cloud Below knew that he couldn't blame the NPCs, but he couldn't help but feel sullen.

But in the next moment, he saw the other two announcements, and suddenly froze, his eyes widening in shock.

\[Legion Announcement 2 - Force Warning List]

\[Recently, a large number of legion Undying have reported to the higher-ups, claiming that they were attacked and killed for no reason by Undying from other forces during the execution of tasks. After a detailed investigation by the legion, it was found that the situation was true. It has been confirmed which forces are deliberately targeting legion members. See \[Appendix - Force List] (Fold/Expand) for details. Although the Undying are not afraid of death, I regard the actions of these forces as a provocation to the Black Star Legion. Here, I issue a public warning to these forces to restrain your Undying subordinates, otherwise I will regard it as a declaration of war. Don't blame me for personally visiting you to have a chat, so the forces mentioned in the list should take this matter seriously. I will keep an eye on it - Legion Commander Black Star]

\[Legion Announcement 3 - Retaliation License]

\[Before these forces restrain their subordinates and eliminate the incidents of our Undying being attacked, we will take counter-measures. Hereby notify all legion Undying warriors that they can take targeted retaliation against the Undying members of the above-mentioned forces (targets are limited to the Undying). It is not our style to be beaten without fighting back. In order to encourage this behavior, the legion will fund additional subsidies, not limited to Enas, special materials, contribution points, see \[Appendix - Reward List] (Fold/Expand) for details. Repeated kills can receive rewards multiple times, you need to use the Phillip sub-program to upload the battle video each time to exchange for remuneration (videos of the same kill cannot pass the review)]

\[At the same time, the legion will issue a legion kill order for some habitual offenders who have repeatedly attacked legion members. Each kill of the designated wanted person can be exchanged for special rewards, see \[Appendix - Kill List] (Fold/Expand) for details. Everyone should remember, those who offend my Black Star, even if they are far away, will be executed - Legion Commander Black Star]

As soon as Flying Cloud Below finished reading the two announcements, there was an uproar around him, and many players instantly became excited.

"What the heck? What's this? The legion is actually taking action."

"Will the PK between players cause camp changes?!"

"Hahaha, those stupid dogs, deliberately camping us? Do they think our legion membership is for nothing!"

"So this is the taste of having a backer, so comfortable~"

"The legion commander is still domineering, look, directly warning the camps, so much clout."

The recent frequent corpse-camping and mockery incidents have made many legion players feel frustrated, but because no one organized them, they could only take care of themselves and pray that they wouldn't encounter malicious players from other camps.

But now, the Black Star Legion directly issued a camp announcement, with very domineering wording, saying that they could retaliate against the other camp, this attitude immediately made many legion players feel comfortable.

In particular, killing players from these camps also gives rewards, and everyone immediately had motivation.

Han Xiao issued these three announcements, which were a comprehensive attack. First, the Black Star Legion used its power to pressure people, taking the upper-level route to warn the camps where these troublemaking clubs were located, making their camps hold them back.

Second, it was a full-scale retaliation permit, mobilizing all legion players to hunt down the players of these camps in an all-round way. Not only could they vent their anger and improve the camp identity of the legion players, but they could also allow the old and new players to fight side by side, quickly shortening the distance between them.

Moreover, dragging the new players from various countries into the water and tying them together, the difficulty for foreign clubs to provoke discrimination would be greatly increased—guiding national discrimination? But the ordinary players of your own country are also fighting you, so go ahead and spray them together.

The troublemaking clubs have limited manpower, which is only annoying to the legion players, but if all the legion players turn around and hunt down the hostile players of these camps, it will be enough to make the other camp doubt their lives. In this way, on the contrary, some ordinary players of these camps will be unbearable and choose to change their allegiance. In this way, they would weaken the player size of these camps and expand their own leek fields, using their own methods to deal with them.

Third, internally, wanted posters were issued for some hostile players who were jumping around, so that more people could see the consequences of provoking the legion. This would make some players think twice and reduce the number of players who were causing trouble together, so as to reduce the manpower available to these clubs as much as possible.

Flying Cloud Below was pleasantly surprised. He turned his head and glanced around, and saw that many players who were suspected of being spies had stiff faces.

Seeing this scene, Flying Cloud Below only felt that all the pent-up anger was vented, and he was refreshed all over. His sense of identity with the camp unknowingly increased +1+1.

"Haha, this is the karmic cycle, Black Star spares no one!"

Flying Cloud Below laughed out loud, his heart agitated.

A good, leisurely player, at this moment, was rubbing his fists and eager to form a team to chop people.

--From today onwards, Black Star is my big brother, whoever dares to mess with the legion, I will fight with them!

...

The three announcements of the Black Star Legion caused a storm among the player groups.

Players were no strangers to this form of mission, isn't this just a camp war?!

Legion players fell into a frenzy, many people didn't even do normal missions, and called their friends, rushing to form a team and head towards the camps on the list, like locusts crossing the border.

The Black Star Legion is currently the first force in the Flickering World to release a camp war mission. In the memory of legion players, someone jumped to the war domain in the last version, and the legion also released a similar kill order, but compared with now, it was completely a minor issue.

--This is a large-scale group p of hundreds of millions!

Players are easier to cause trouble than NPCs, missions can not be done, how can grand events be missed!

Whether it's old players or new players, their enthusiasm has been ignited!

Especially the new players from various countries who have recently joined, are even more active than Huaxia players. Many people themselves have defected from these camps, and they are familiar with the structure of the forces. When fighting their former own people, they rush faster than anyone else. Many old players are willing to bring one or two of these "guides".

The hostile camps listed by Han Xiao are all forces working for various troublemaking clubs, from different star systems. There are no particularly powerful existences. In the Flickering World, it is even more impossible to compare with the local dragon, Black Star.

So facing the warning from the Black Star Legion, most of these forces were stunned.

--What's going on, why are you warning us? We didn't provoke your Black Star?!

After these forces investigated, they realized the truth, and were immediately angered.

They clearly had no intention of targeting the Black Star Legion, but a part of their Undying subordinates acted spontaneously and provoked this trouble. They were simply unjustly accused.

It was completely a case of sitting at home while the pot comes from the sky!

Most of the forces quickly responded to the Black Star Legion's warning, and hurriedly publicly expressed to Han Xiao that this was not their intention. All of their subordinates were acting crazy. They had no intention of being enemies with the legion. They asked him not to visit them to have a chat, because their weak hearts could not withstand such a surprise.

Internally, these forces strictly controlled the actions of the Undying, making it clear that without their orders, they were not allowed to provoke the Black Star Legion, otherwise they would be severely punished, and some of the troublemakers were punished... Converted into panel reactions, the punished players lost a lot of camp contribution points and character favorability.

And a small number of forces had a more unique way of thinking. Considering the special prestige of the Black Star Legion among the Undying groups, they slapped their thighs and came to the conclusion:

--Spies! This group of subordinates who spontaneously caused trouble are all spies sent by the Black Star Legion!

It must be that the Black Star Legion wants to eat us, so they let spies deliberately cause trouble, in order to attack us righteously!

This group of little smarties were even more completely cowardly, saying that they would definitely not fall for the trick, no matter how tough Han Xiao was.

There were also a very small number of forces with a more refreshing and refined way of thinking, believing that this was a frame-up. They felt that these troublemaking Undying were neither their people nor Black Star's people, but third-party people.

Their goal was to cause a conflict between them and the Black Star Legion, so that the snipe and clam would fight, and the fisherman would benefit!

--Anyway, regardless of whether the truth is like this or not, this part of the forces insisted that this was the fact.

And as the Infinite Consortium, which is currently the most enthusiastic about recruiting players, has become an excellent scapegoat.

Seeing this news, Sorokin was completely messed up in the wind.

No problem, I do have such a plan...

But I haven't started implementing it yet!

Is this foresight?!

Han Xiao's three announcements stirred up the situation, directly turning the entire World Server player group into a pot of porridge.

And this group of foreign clubs that were causing trouble were directly stunned by Han Xiao's set of three axes.

...No, we players are killing each other, why is the biggest reaction from you, an NPC camp?!

You just attacked our Undying squad, and you're making such a big deal, are you shameless?!

Their plan had just started and was severely damaged, almost aborted. Under this situation, even if the plan could continue, it would be far from the expected effect.

The high-level executives of these clubs were immediately at a loss.

If they really fought a camp war, they wouldn't feel very disadvantaged. So many of their camps combined, even if they couldn't beat the players of the Black Star Legion, they could still fight back and forth, and they could also consolidate the ordinary players of their own camp through the camp war.

However, the camps they belonged to were directly cowardly. Not only did they not counterattack, but they turned around and restrained their players.

The superiors didn't allow them to fight back, so the camp war couldn't break out at all. They were completely being beaten passively.

The Black Star Legion encouraged players and also released camp missions, while their forces not only had no rewards, but also held them back. The contrast between the good and bad of the camps was too stark.

They knew that being bullied like this would probably make the ordinary players of their camps feel chilled. Maybe some people would implement the truth that if they can't beat them, they join them, and directly switch to the Black Star Legion and turn around to fight them.

The plan was originally well planned, but they didn't expect this kind of out-of-spec accident to happen. The high-level executives of these foreign guilds were almost worried to death, and once again deeply realized the importance of hugging thick thighs.

--There are so many benefits to staying in a strong camp!

However, the most stunned were not these clubs, but the ordinary players in the camps they belonged to.

Faced with this situation, countless people were confused.

I just got out of bed, I haven't even brushed my teeth, and you're telling me that I'm being chased by millions of players?

What are you弄啥嘞?!

...

While the player group was happily tearing each other apart, Hela, who was in the Emerald Star Cluster, received a special communication application.

From the Arcane Church, the Head of the Church!
