Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating - Chapter 60: Harvesting the Eight Great Guilds
What’s going on?
The core members of the Gods Guild, who were currently in a meeting, were thrown into a state of panic.
However, they were core members after all; after a momentary lapse into chaos, they quickly regained their composure.
They were all elites above level 35.
Even an earthquake wouldn’t be able to harm them.
Soon, someone spotted Lucien at the window, directing zombies to demolish the building below.
The moment they saw Lucien, their faces turned pale.
One of them shouted with a trembling voice, "It’s... it’s Falling into the Human World! Falling into the Human World is attacking our branch office below!"
The others, who had just settled down, were startled to hear it was actually Lucien.
"What’s happening? Why did the opponent suddenly come to our branch?"
"Guild Leader, Falling into the Human World is outside! What do we do?"
On the other end of the video call, Caleb was nearly driven to madness upon hearing that Lucien was directly attacking their branch. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Gritting his teeth, he said, "This is going too far. You guys hold him off first; we absolutely cannot lose the Gu Du City branch right now!"
"I’ll go find a way now. You must hold him off."
After speaking, Caleb hurriedly hung up the call.
The people present looked at each other in silence.
"Let’s hold him off first. The Guild Leader has likely gone to seek outside help; reinforcements will arrive soon," the branch leader stated.
"Hold him off? With what? Last time, tens of thousands of people couldn’t stop him together, and nearly half were wiped out. There are only a dozen of us; what do we have to stop him with?"
"Yeah, I think we should just run for it!"
"Run? Do you know how fast he is? He has at least a thousand Agility; how are we supposed to run?"
"I don’t care anymore. I haven’t entered Battle Online today yet. I’m going in to take shelter. You guys handle the rest yourselves!"
As soon as the words fell, that figure vanished from the office. Simultaneously, several other figures disappeared as well.
These people had all entered the world of Battle Online.
Leaving behind only a dozen or so who had already used up their time in Battle Online for the day.
...
After Caleb disconnected the video, he immediately contacted the leaders of the remaining Great Guilds.
"Why are you contacting us all of a sudden? What’s wrong? Has that Falling into the Human World caused more trouble?" the leader of the Tange Years Guild asked.
With a grim expression, Caleb nodded and said, "Yes, he’s currently attacking our Gu Du City branch. The situation is not optimistic."
Hearing that Lucien actually dared to directly attack a city branch, the faces of the various guild leaders darkened.
Normally, if someone were to attack a branch of the Gods Guild, they would be overjoyed.
After all, weakening the strength of the Gods Guild was equivalent to indirectly increasing the strength of their own guilds.
But this time was different. This opponent’s strength was too great, and he had no goodwill toward the Nine Great Guilds.
Once the Gods Guild’s personnel in Gu Du City were wiped out, they didn’t know if the opponent would come to the areas under their own jurisdiction.
"I have a method that might be able to deal with Falling into the Human World!" Dragon God - Old Eight suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they quickly asked, "What method?"
Dragon God - Old Eight said, "Hire someone to deal with Falling into the Human World!"
Those present frowned and asked, "Hire someone? Although his level is low, he isn’t weak. Who would we hire? Do you have some kind of trump card in your hand?"
Dragon God - Old Eight smiled and said, "I don’t have any trump cards, but I have a good relationship with neighboring India. Their current number one player is also someone with an SSS Talent."
"We can hire him to deal with Falling into the Human World!"
"Although there are restrictions between countries within Battle Online that prevent communication..."
"In reality, there are no such restrictions."
Hearing this, everyone felt that this method was indeed quite good.
They had also heard of India’s number one player.
His strength was immense, and he was estimated to be among the top ten in the entire world.
Furthermore, his level was as high as level 42.
While Lucien also had an SSS-Rank Talent, he had been in Battle Online for too short a time.
He was likely only in his twenties right now.
Even if his talent was powerful, other SSS Talent users weren’t weak either.
Moreover, there was a twenty-level gap between the two; Lucien would surely be no match for the opponent.
"This method is indeed good, but what’s the price? I don’t believe the other party will act for free,"
Caleb said calmly.
"Ten million gold coins, and the party is willing to act!" Dragon God - Old Eight stated directly.
Hearing that it would cost ten million gold coins for a single move, several people felt very displeased.
This was simply highway robbery. Just because his level was a bit higher, he wanted ten million for one intervention.
Dragon God - Old Eight, however, was calculating in his heart.
From the Geyi City incident this time, each guild could earn three to four million gold coins.
Plus the benefits given to guild members, that could save another two million gold coins.
They could certainly come up with ten million if they split it.
And he could take the opportunity to make a profit for himself.
It turned out that the monster siege on Geyi City was a joint plan by the Nine Great Guilds.
They had quietly used a large amount of monster luring incense, which gathered countless monsters to launch an attack on Geyi City.
This was also why the high-end combat power of the Nine Great Guilds could withdraw in advance.
Because they knew the monster siege was going to happen.
And the reason they did all this was as an experiment.
A year ago, a city was truly occupied by monsters, resulting in countless casualties.
Everyone in the Nine Provinces made various donations to rebuild that city.
However, the high-level members of the Nine Great Guilds didn’t expect that after the reconstruction was completed, quite a lot of gold coins remained.
This immediately gave them a great idea for making a fortune.
That was to specifically use large amounts of monster luring incense to artificially cause monsters to attack a city.
Once the city was breached by monsters, they would use the name of charity to have everyone donate.
This way, they could perfectly harvest the gold coins from the hands of ordinary people.
The results were unexpectedly good; this single time had already made them a fortune.
As for rebuilding Geyi City, if the survivors wanted to rebuild it, they could do it themselves.
As for the casualties caused, they didn’t care at all.
This was no longer an era of peace. In the current situation, what did a few deaths matter?
In any case, it didn’t harm a hair on their heads and allowed them to make a huge profit.
It could be said that the shamelessness of the Nine Great Guilds had reached a new low for humanity.
However, no one knew that these people were the ones behind the trouble.
And this time, Dragon God - Old Eight was thinking of using this opportunity with Falling into the Human World to harvest the wealth of the other eight great guilds.
