Ghostly Walker’s abdication in the past life ended the Great Monster War, which lasted only three days, but this time… It persisted after one whole month.
As the war raged on, the Shangri-La project was greatly affected. However, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was not idle. He quickly came up with a solution.
He postponed the advertising campaign and stopped allocating funds to the so-called best security system to cut costs. In addition, all the employees were asked to go on a vacation and still get paid half the salary.
One had to say that he was indeed clever. After his changes, the lifespan of Shangri-La had been extended.
However, he could only cure the symptoms and not the actual problem. As long as the war continued, he would not sleep soundly.
Recently, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had spotted a chance at victory. Because the monsters had been attacking for too long, it caused many players to jointly protest on the official website.
If it was only him complaining, the Company would not bother to take action. This time, however, it was all of the players, and the Pantheon officials would have to take this seriously.
A powerful company could bully its consumers, but when the customers were united, they could fight back.
On the 32nd day of the Great Monster War, rays of light began to descend all over the world. The monsters which occupied the main cities retreated and returned to their spawn points.
The war was over…
Subsequently, the World Channel began to publish colorful announcements.
[The Emperor’s gross negligence had caused the Pantheon Continent to suffer huge losses. The Ruler of God is enraged and hereby confiscates the position from Little Elf from the Magical Realm. The monsters have retreated, and the world has returned to peace. Congratulations, warriors! You have triumphed!]
[Following the abdication, the Emperor Quest is officially opened to all players. Any player is eligible to compete for the position. Who will be the next Emperor? It is you, brave warriors, wield the sword in your hands and begin!]
The announcements were responded by critical comments.
Tortured by monsters for a month and it was still called a victory. Were they being mocked?
Li Yi was stunned when he saw the announcements.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth saw them and burst out in arrogant laughter.
“Perseverance is victory, I have not lost!”
“Perseverance is victory, I have not lost!”
“Perseverance is victory, I have not lost!”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth posted more than 5,000 messages continuously on the World Channel until he ran out of money.
He was too excited. As long as the monsters left, the project could be restarted, and the losses suffered would be gradually recovered. The good days were coming.
“Dark Wing, I did nothing and suddenly I am no longer emperor.”
Little Elf from the Magical Realm sent a message to Li Yi.
With the Emperor gone, his Imperial Executive Officer followed suit. He repeatedly read the system announcements and could only helplessly shake his head.
There was no such precedent in his past life, so he did not expect this outcome if the Emperor did not act.
Moreover, this world seemed to be more different from the previous one. All players were qualified for the Emperor Quest. This meant that any player could be the Emperor.
Indeed, things had changed quickly.
“The Emperor must end the war to keep the throne. We failed and you know what happened next.”
“It’s not like I care about that, but does it affect you?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm was somewhat worried.
“Yes, but not much.”
She was no longer the Emperor of the Continent. Although it would affect him in some way, it was not significant.
…
Seeing the system announcements, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was over the moon. He flooded the World Channel and immediately went offline to deliver an important notice. All employees were to cancel their break, and the Shangri-La project would officially launch!
Soon after he went offline, the advertisements came rushing out. Radio, television, satellite TV, newspapers, games, publications… they were everywhere, even the walls of public toilets were covered with scantily clad women.
“Pleasures of an emperor, your courtiers await.”
The tantalizing posters were all over the country in a single night.
After that, he got himself drunk and slept until noon the next day before he woke up from his sleep.
The first thing he did after waking up was call Lin Qian’s father.
“Dad, when is my marriage with Qian’er happening? Can it be soon?”
Lin Wenyu was even straightforward. He uttered only two words, “One month.”
With success and a beautiful wife to look forward to, he could not help but laugh without even putting down his phone.
“He’s talented but too impetuous.” Lin Wenyu hung up the phone and frowned.
After the call, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth went online enthusiastically while lying in the Nourishment Chamber.
“Teleport!”
As manager of Shangri-La, he owned a Teleportation Stone that would let him reach the map instantly.
The surroundings gradually loaded as he arrived.
Their signature was a group of well-trained and talented girls, college students with amazing academic qualifications, and models who had achieved excellent results in beauty pageants. There were many B-list and C-list celebrities who did not have much fame yet.
“The desire for food and sex is a part of human nature.” This was the wisdom of the ancients.
As the head of the project, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was highly selective. All of his girls must be high-level; the higher the better. Whoever made a name for herself in King of Pantheon would see her salary doubled.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was indeed an expert. In the past life, because of his policies, Shangri-La had produced multiple famous women.
For example, a certain starlet called Half-Dressed, a Violent Warrior with exceptional skills. She was once the Seasonal Champion of the Arena.
Half-Dressed was originally plain-looking but her makeup made her stand out a little. Her status as Seasonal Champion soon made her one of the signature women in Shangri-La. One would need to spend at least one million to ask her out for a meal.
One had to say that being a famous personality made all the difference.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth wandered around Shangri-La. His brows suddenly furrowed.
The picturesque paradise had only a few kittens inside. Not to mention the customers, there was hardly any staff.
“Li, what the hell? Where are the workers? Didn’t I tell you to inform them to come back to work today?” He immediately contacted his deputy manager, a man named Li.
“Sir, there are still monsters outside, our people can’t come in.”
“Monsters?” Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was taken aback. “I thought the war f*cking ended!”
“You will know if you look for yourself, sir.”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth rushed to the teleportation point. He stumbled and fell in the progress, but he got back up and carried on.
He arrived to see a group of red-named monsters.
Not one, but a group, numerous and large. They were everywhere.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could not stop their attacks even after unleashing his Territory Power. He was killed within a second.
The red-named monsters were not only all Level 200, but they were also elites!
Centaurs, Tuhrs, and the Snowpeople, these three North Pole Continent tribes did not retreat and had remained.
“F*ck your mother, what’s the meaning of this?”
“I am 52 this year and my mother has already been buried. You dare insult me? F*ck your mother too!” Li was also on anxious; he did not know why the monsters outside did not leave. Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s insults were just pissing him off.
“Listen here, you insolent little sh*t! Without you, where would the company be today? We’ve had to deal with the consequences of your mistake, and you still dare to insult us? Motherf*cker, I quit!”
The deputy manager really had a temper. He did as he said and immediately left Shangri-La and went offline.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth chose to temple respawn and looked at the group of monsters near the entrance. He was utterly speechless.
Within the smoky fog, there were countless tents. The three tribes directed by Centaurs were not simply visiting. They had set up camp and were prepared to live here.
It was all thanks to Li Yi. His orders made it clear that they would stay in their new home and resource point for a long time. A month had passed, and the setting up of their tents and camps was complete. Now they were deeply rooted.
After the NPCs built the camp, they would remain stationed and would continue to develop unless they were ordered to move.
“F*ck!”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth cursed at the sky.
He thought that the good days after the war were coming. He did not expect that there would be a group of disgusting monsters who would not leave but plan to stay here long-term.
“Baibai, there are some level 200 monsters outside Shangri-La and worse, there are about 200,000 of them. Help me to gather the brothers in the guild and vanquish them!”
“The guild is focused on defeating the Third Demon God, King Fifth. This is an extraordinary period…” Bai Xiaoya replied after some time.
“B*tch please, I will ask you again. Can you help me?”
From the heavens to the earth, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth went completely out of control, and what he said to Bai Xiaoya sounded more like a howl than speech.
He was completely hysterical.
