Chapter 1002 - Protecting The Capital Safely

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Come down, the two of you. What do you have to talk about…”

Seeing that the intruders already took their leave, yet Wang Yu and his brother were still unwilling to stand down, Fearless quickly beckoned them over.

The two heard Fearless and surveyed their surroundings one last time before jumping back down from the roof. The rest of the players from Quan Zhen Sect closed in and surrounded Fearless.

“How? How was it? How much did those b*stards pay us?” It was obvious that it was the monetary reward rather than the safety of the city that was the first thought in their minds.

“Not much! Not much at all! One hundred gold coins per person!” Fearless chuckled in a relaxed manner.

Vainglory chimed in, “Sh*t, this is not your style at all… Why did you only demand one hundred gold coins?”

“Are you deaf?” Spring Halo knocked on Vainglory’s skull as he remarked, “It’s one hundred gold coins per person!”

“One hundred gold coins per person?” Vainglory could not even believe his ears, “Weren’t there a million intruders?”

“Indeed!” Fearless nodded.

“Won’t that amount to…” Vainglory gawked at the immensity of their windfall and was rendered speechless.

After a short moment, Vainglory recovered his wits as he exclaimed, “One hundred million gold coins… When we convert it to RMB, won’t we be rich?”

“Dream on, you sucker!” Fearless scoffed at him, “I haven’t even seen the director of the Banknote Printing Factory declaring that he is the richest man in the world…”

“…” Vainglory was once again tongue-tied.

The nature of the in-game currency was similar in its usage to banknotes. The more banknotes in circulation, the lower the purchasing power given the same amount of money… These were all finance concepts that these players did not understand anyway…

The bottom-line was that the goal was to convert the in-game currency into RMB. Otherwise, this in-game currency was just numbers on a screen… Even a spendthrift would be hard-pressed to buy a hundred million gold coins…

All of this was to explain the cheaper conversion rate from RMB into in-game currency. Sigh, I have written out of topic.

Fearless continued, “That being said, all these gold coins do not solely belong to us. Half of it should go to the other players who have contributed to defending the city.”

“Yes, they should be duly rewarded!”

Everyone nodded unanimously to the suggestion.

Although Fearless was an unscrupulous man and always thinking of taking advantage of others, he would never short-change his guildmates and those who fought alongside him.

“What about me? Our players from Peerless Heaven have helped out so much. Surely we deserve half of the gold coins,” Evil Rampage interjected.

Fearless replied, “Boss Rampage, our Old Bull is your blood brother. Are you really going to collect money from us from your helping our own brother?”

“Hmph!” Evil Rampage indignantly answered, “Even blood brothers have to settle the accounts properly!”

“…” Fearless breathe deeply as he said, “If that is the case, you will have to give us some advertising fees.”

“Advertising fees? What advertising?” Evil Rampage was confused.

“You have so many fragments on hand. If Old Bull did not fly around, do you think these fragments would have commanded that high of a price?”

“F*ck, this is a small matter. He is my brother after all. What is this trivial matter of helping me out?” Evil Rampage retorted.

“Blood brothers also need to settle the accounts properly after all…” Fearless smiled at him cheekily.

“F*ck, you are cunning!” Evil Rampage looked at Fearless with scornful eyes as he raised his middle finger at him in response.

“Hahaha!” Seeing Evil Rampage’s sorry state, Fearless said, “I was just pulling your leg. For the remaining five thousand, how about I give you one thousand five hundred?”

“That’s way too little… I think at least two thousand…”

“One thousand!” Fearless smirked and reduced the number in spite.

Evil Rampage panicked as soon as he heard it, “Grandfather, didn’t you just offer me one thousand five?”

“Deal!” Fearless only smiled as he handed over the money.

Evil Rampage could not help but feel aggrieved by the outcome of the matter.

Ming Du saw Evil Rampage sorry figure from the side and suggested, “Eh, Old Demon, all those big guild bosses haven’t made their way back yet. Why don’t you send your players to raid their warehouses?”

Evil Rampage glared sharply at him and said, “What do you know? You cannot take everything from them. You still have to leave them a path to live so we can avoid a lot of future trouble…”

Wang Yu smiled, “That is what I taught him!”

The in-game world was a miraculous environment but there was no predicting how the winds and workings of fate would blow. If Peerless Heaven were to antagonise all of them today, he might be the target of their retaliation sometime in the future when these guilds rebuild.

Following the full withdrawal of players from the attack on the city, the in-game announcement sounded.

<System announcement: <<REBIRTH>> XXXX years, Under the leadership of Iron Bull, Twilight City has successfully repelled the attack by the Light Army and have gained independence from the sanctuary of God. They are the first secular city that is established on the REBIRTH mainland. Their achievements today will go down in the annals of history.>

The system announcement flashed three times in a row and all who saw it displayed an incredulous expression.

One small city in Twilight City managed to go against the overwhelming odds against them to resist the joint attack of so many others. This result turned out to be something that no one else expected.

This was even more so for the players from Twilight City as they broke out into spontaneous tears of joy.

There was no better victory to celebrate other than their continued freedom to live well and remain as a sovereign city.

Although Fearless and the other leaders always painted a rosy and optimistic picture of the battle conditions, the other players had already primed themselves for the worst.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect such a result.

Of course, this was also what they deserved.

From the start of the battle, the keyboard warriors had begun their analysis and they had decided that there was no conceivable way for Twilight City to emerge victorious. They had even placed large bets on the outcome. However, the final result was there for all to see.

In short, cherish life and stay away from gambling.

Next were the rewards given out by the system…

First up was the main city reward.

As the first independent main city, all the players from Twilight City were given a five-level upgrade… Furthermore, all the players that participated in defending the city were awarded the title of “Independent”.

Independent (Title)

Hero’s Mission: Increase 100% of experience points in the independent main city

All these experience points were accumulated from fighting monsters or completing missions so this item effect was actually quite practical.

What made people unhappy was the fact that some deserters also received the reward…

However, this was nothing special. There would always be those who defend the country and those who reap the rewards of others…

At this point, Wang Yu was feeling extremely depressed. He had already reached the maximum level so the extra five levels upgrade did not apply to him… These five levels increase also resulted in a large influx of other players reaching the max level.
