Chapter 332 – Brothers! (1/2)
Chapter 332 – Brothers!
Nie Yan knew it would take a while for Bird to get back to him, so he checked the situation in the forums in the meantime. The discussion had already reached a tipping point. Due to the war between Asskickers United and Bloodlust Blades growing increasingly intense, the moderators intervened and placed the kill counters next to each other on a stickied post. Since the data was obtained from the system, there was no misrepresentation.
With the official website getting involved, the numbers were 100% accurate!
Bloodlust Blades orignally led Asskickers United by over 2,000 kills with their kill counter surpassing 8,000 kills. But after Asskickers United’s bounty notice circulated around, the gap was shortened to just 300 kills. The biggest contributor to this reversal was the Union of Assassins, which accounted for around 4,000 kills. From this, it was clear they were a force to be reckoned with.
The conflict was far from reaching a conclusion. Bloodlust Blades increased their bounty reward to 3 gold, for fear of Asskickers United making them lose face by surpassing them.
This was Bloodlust Blades’ only strategy to level the playing field.
For the sake of reaping some rewards, more and more ordinary players participated in this conflict between Asskickers United and Bloodlust Blades.
This was the so-called, the law is powerless in the face of the masses! Even though Asskickers United was the local hegemon, they were merely a drop in the bucket compared to the entire population of Calore. The reward of 3 gold was simply too tempting. With so many players fishing in troubled waters, Asskickers United couldn’t possibly retaliate against all of them!
The players of Asskickers United were still ferverently discussing today’s events in the guild chat.
「Boss, should we also increase the bounty reward?」
「Watchful Snail, can you ask Nirvana Flame if we should match Bloodlust Blades’? 」
…
Nie Yan showed himself in chat.「Calm down, guys. Bloodlust Blades upping their bounty reward is a sign they’re losing confidence. Even if they were richer, I refuse to believe they can outlast us while hemorrhaging gold at a 3 to 2 rate. We won’t raise our bounty rewards! We’ll continue going at it with them and see who collapses first! Brothers, Asskickers United never falters!」
Nie Yan’s words raised the spirits of the guild members. What was there to be afraid of? With so many brothers, even if the sky were to collapse, they would shoulder the burden together!
「Let’s continue gold farming!」
「Hell yeah! Let’s bankrupt those bastards!」
…
Nie Yan contacted Guo Huai.「Did the gold from the Dragonsoar Financial Group arrive?」
「Yep, the 100,000 gold was delivered to our account. They even gave us an additional 60,000 gold, no strings attached,」Guo Huai said with a knowing smile. Why would the Dragonsoar Financial Group show such support? There was obviously something going on behind the scenes! Did Nie Yan succeed in wooing that girl Xie Yao?
「I see… How are our losses?」Nie Yan asked. A thought surfaced in his mind. If Yao Yao really was Xie Yao, she would definitely help out after knowing the guild was in dire straits.
「Over 30,000 gold,」Guo huai replied. The bounty rewards only accounted for a little over half of that sum. The rest was spent on helping those who died to ambushes. Even though many guild members outright refused compensation, not everyone could afford to ride out this storm by themselves.
In such a short amount of time, Asskickers United had already lost 30,000 gold, and it would only get harder from here on out. Nie Yan still had a large variety of money-making methods in mind. It was about time he decided which one could net the greatest profit in the shortest amount of time.
「Do you have an estimate of Bloodlust Blades’ losses?」Nie Yan asked. He figured Guo Huai probably had a rough understanding of their situation.
