“You want me to turn myself in? Voluntarily withdraw from the Scavenger Army? Otherwise, I might be added to the list of dangerous people in the Federation and even face the risk of being wanted by the Federation? ”
Listening to Mo Jiawei’s explanation, Fang Heng was amused. He thought, “They failed to secretly do me in, so now they’re trying to publicly do it? ”
“God, don’t laugh. We need to quickly think of a way. The Federation of District 7 is very powerful in the game. It’s not wise to fight them head-on. Moreover, once District 7 really issues an arrest warrant for you, the Federation’s inspection team in the real world might come and forcefully take you away… ”
Mo Jiawei was very anxious. He tried to come up with an idea. “Why don’t you agree to withdraw from the Scavenger Army on the surface but do as you wish in reality? In other words, instead of fighting them head-on, you can defy them behind the scenes. ”
“This involves the main storyline of District 7. There’s no doubt that the Federation will compete with us. If we retreat at this step, then we’ll have to retreat countless steps. Unless I withdraw from the competition for the main storyline of Server 7, the Federation will not let me off. ”
Fang Heng seriously thought about it, then continued, “We can indeed try to avoid defying them so obviously. It’s just that the trick of obeying on the surface will be too easily seen through. ”
“Then what should we do? ”
“We’ll just stall for a few days and see what his next move is. However, we have to be careful about Server 8’s prison. ”
Fang Heng felt that he didn’t have the time to take care of Server 8. He thought for a while and continued, “In name, Server 8 will be transferred to North River Heavy Industry so that the Federation can’t find an excuse to cause trouble for District 8. ”
Mo Jiawei nodded and uttered, “All right, I’ll get someone to release the news and announce that North River Heavy Industry will temporarily withdraw from cooperating with you. In addition, I’ll have to contact Fourth Uncle and have him hurry back so that the Federation’s inspection team won’t come knocking on our door. ”
“All right. Anyway, the Federation is nothing much. ” Fang Heng rubbed his wrist, looking like a militant. “Despite the Federation’s reputation, they’ve previously been beaten to such a terrible state by Night Owl. Their strength isn’t that great at all. I’ll show them who’s more powerful. Besides, the thing that the Federation’s spending so much effort to obtain must be very valuable… ”
Fang Heng’s current understanding of the game’s main storyline was still very vague.
He knew that the final reward was the ownership of the game world, but he didn’t know exactly what the final ownership entailed.
However, since the Federation could be so shameless for the ownership, it should be a very important and very powerful thing.
“All right! ”
For a moment, Mo Jiawei also felt his blood boil. He thought, “So what if it’s the Federation? Aren’t they all just players, too? ”
Given that he and Fang Heng had come so far as a team, Mo Jiawei had full confidence in Fang Heng. He thus became determined to compete with the Federation.
“Leave District 8 to me. Our North River Heavy Industry is a big business. The Federation will have to think twice before finding trouble with us. Also, God, the Federation’s inspection team might come looking for you. It’s safer to stay here for the next two days… ”
As the two of them were discussing, Fang Heng’s cell phone rang.
“Chen Yu? ”
“Fang Heng, are you okay? ”
Chen Yu had just seen the notice issued by District 7 not long ago. He immediately scolded his teammates for their idiotic behavior, then called Fang Heng.
Having interacted with Fang Heng for so long, he knew Fang Heng’s personality very well.
With such a threatening announcement, it would be a miracle if Fang Heng bowed his head and obediently withdrew from the Scavenger Army!
Even if he withdrew under pressure on the surface, he would definitely play all kinds of underhanded tricks behind the scenes.
Whether publicly or privately, Chen Yu was very unwilling to see Fang Heng as an enemy.
Fang Heng shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, “Fortunately, it’s not a big problem. It’s still under control. ”
“Uh… That… ” Chen Yu scratched his head, “I wanted to say that the announcement issued by the Federation was issued in the name of District 7. ”
“I understand. It has nothing to do with you. Organizational will doesn’t represent individual will. ”
“I just asked a few friends to pay attention to this matter. District 7 is not joking this time. They have already submitted a ban on you to their superiors and are preparing to join forces with the player unions of District 7 to attack the Scavenger Army in the game. A friend also told me that the Federation of District 7 has already started to transport large-sized weapons especially for countering Tyrants to the area of Edge Creek Town. ”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
Originally, with the Tyrants and warlord potions, dealing with the guild players of District 7 was a piece of cake.
Now that the Federation had joined in, it became a little troublesome.
Hearing Fang Heng’s silence, Chen Yu hesitated for a long time on the other end of the phone before continuing, “Fang Heng, Why don’t you return to District 8? As long as I’m in District 8, I guarantee that you’ll be unscathed in District 8. ”
“Come on, isn’t it just the Federation of District 7? Things haven’t developed to that serious of a state yet. ” Fang Heng answered unhappily, “Besides, how daring of you to make such a declaration when you might be fired tomorrow. When the time comes, come to my prison. As long as I, Fang Heng, am in the prison, I guarantee that you’ll be fine… ”
Chen Yu was speechless for a moment.
But he also felt relieved.
He felt that since Fang Heng could still joke at such a time, he was likely doing okay. “Make sense. He’s always been unfazed, ” he thought.
“All right, thanks for the information. I still have something to do. Let’s talk again next time. ”
After hanging up the phone, Fang Heng looked at Mo Jiawei who was at the side.
Mo Jiawei looked at Fang Heng with eager eyes.
“How’s the situation? ”
“Not good. The Federation of District 7 is already preparing to cooperate with the major player guilds of District 7 to deal with the Scavenger Army. ”
“The Federation’s ultimate goal is probably to halt my main storyline. ”
Mo Jiawei revealed a distressed expression. “Then what should we do? Do you have a plan? ”
“Hmm… ” Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.
The enemy’s strength had increased again.
In order to balance things out, he had to think of a way to enhance his own combat strength.
As for the zombie clones, the research institute didn’t have the time to upgrade them. Presently, the institute was fully focusing on researching the first-generation meteorite.
As for the warlord potion, he could possibly try finding a way to improve the potion’s effects and in turn, increase the overall strength of the Scavenger Army!
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up at that thought.
The commander of the Scavenger Army, Cook Barn, who had researched and produced the warlord potion, was also a senior researcher at Meteorite Company. It was very difficult to improve the potion’s effects through scientific research, not to mention in a short period of time.
Therefore, Fang Heng had to consider methods that were relatively unscientific.
“Occult! Potionology! ” Realization hit him.
Fang Heng figured that Mo Yunxiao should know some potionology.
However, Mo Yunxiao was currently not in the villa.
“Oh right, wasn’t there still her? ” Fang Heng mused as he thought of Xiao Ruoruo, whom he had seen in the study during the day.
“I can for the help of the top student who’s roughly read all the books in the study! ”
With that thought in mind, Fang Heng immediately got up and ran to Xiao Ruoruo’s guest room to ask her for help in improving the potion.
Meanwhile, Mo Jiawei was still thinking hard. When he saw Fang Heng rush outside, he immediately chased after him. “Fang Heng, where are you going? ”
“To find someone. ”
“Hmm? Going outside in the middle of the night? Isn’t that a little dangerous? You might be on the wanted list now and pursued by the Inspection Bureau. Be careful… ”
