Sister Ji grabbed a bucket and ran?
How the hell did you run faster than me? You ran off without taking me with you? That's cold!
Oh, right. I'm the faction leader. Never mind.
Gao Gong wasn't angry about her departure. Instead, he was filled with curiosity.
In fact, from his perspective, if half of the current players managed to remain after entering the new-version map of the 'Robert Star System,' that would already count as a success.

Among them were no shortage of newly promoted level-three civilizations.

They would need more talent and more factions to join them, and the benefits they offered would be just as substantial. They might even offer something as powerful as 'level-three civilization citizenship quotas'—something that was almost impossible in peacetime.
