The Federation's Conspiracy, Arrangement of the Pawns
At this very moment.
Blue Star World.
Gao Linzhi was located inside a large underground cavern.
Even though he now possesses the power of the World Source and has mastered part of the core code of the Skyfall Game System, he remains extremely cautious.
Some people, without any connection to the law, began to act recklessly once they gained a little power.
Because he knew all too well that there were far too many deeper mysteries in this world.
Many people have no idea about those things.
They are different from Gao Linzhi.
There are always some people who think they have gained some power and then become reckless.
The headquarters of the Blue Star Federation.
The headquarters has now been relocated to a 50-square-kilometer Safe Zone on Blue Star.
This 50-square-meter Safe Zone was naturally obtained by Gao Linzhi from game rewards.
In fact, with his current privileges, he is already capable of actively designating Safe Zone.
However, that would require consuming his Source Energy.
And this 50 square kilometers was paid for by the official version of the Skyfall Game.
If he creates Safe Zone, it's his own private server game "God's Domain" that's paying for it.
Earthlings, of course, didn't know that the seemingly sophisticated and mysterious God's Domain Game, was actually just a pirated private server.
The United Association's headquarters building is a full 400 meters tall with 120 floors.
On the top floor, they are holding a confidential meeting.
"Our strength has grown rapidly, and we now have over 100 high-level players above level 80."
"These people are all people we've painstakingly trained, and their loyalty to us is extremely high," a vice president said.
"Previously, we lacked the strength to do so, so we could only stay behind the scenes and remotely establish many sub-organizations to deal with changing circumstances."
"The situation is different now. After obtaining that main quest, we have enough level advantage."
The United Association, after all, is a large and well-established organization with a deep-rooted history.
They also had their own opportunities in the Skyfall Game.
If Gao Linzhi hadn't used the Power of Space-Time of the time traveler, along with his own hard work, diligence, and eagerness to learn, he wouldn't have been able to intercept the core code of the Skyfall Game ahead of time.
Relying solely on the talent of being the "only normal player" to fight against these people is probably no longer a significant advantage.
Ultimately, Gao Linzhi is just one person, and it's impossible for him to trust anyone else.
His "Unique Normal Player Talent" is abnormal, but ultimately it is still limited by the game's settings and has a potential upper limit.
For example, purchase limits in game stores, the types of items available, and the maximum number of Skill Book in real life...
Before he left the game, his mental and physical attributes were both 2000.
This number is large, but not unattainable.
Just like in a normal game, no matter how powerful a player is who spends money on in-game purchases, they can never exceed the character strength cap set by the game.
The United Association has a large number of people, so they can simultaneously undertake various adventures.
Now, they think they're all capable.
"We must now clear out the cities and unite all forces."
"Given the current frequent intrusions by strange entities, we must concentrate our efforts."
"Just like during wartime, those so-called federations would grant the president great power."
"That's right, we're at war now, and to deal with war, we must centralize power!" Everyone agreed.
They had some concerns before.
But unexpectedly, their luck suddenly turned around.
The game provides one of their operatives with a shared main mission: to overthrow the Sky Wolf Dynasty.
As the main storyline progresses, the maximum number of participants will be increased, and the rewards for completing tasks are very generous, including skills, attributes, and mysterious technologies.
"We need to make an example of him, specifically targeting that guy with Can Xue Waves Across the Map, whose real name is Gao Linzhi," the vice president said.
"He is still number one among casual players."
"Let's take him down first. Once we get rid of him, the others won't cause trouble."
At this moment, Chairman Shi Tiansheng frowned, but did not raise any objections.
Now he's been reduced to a mascot.
Although he is nominally the president, he does not hold any real power, much like a monarch.
He's just a scapegoat.
Just think about it: in this new era where extraordinary beings abound and curses are everywhere, being the president of a guild that's constantly in the public eye makes him a target, doesn't it?
Those who truly reap the benefits with minimal risk are the Company Executive behind the scenes.
However, he still had a hunch and left behind a decoy while preparing to flee with his real body.
As for family members, they had already retreated to the game's Safe Zone long ago.
He believed that Gao Linzhi sit idly by and wait to die.
Even if they are ultimately defeated, the United Association will pay a terrible price.
Since no one raised any objections, the operation was immediately launched.
They had prepared many contingency plans long ago; now they only need to bring out one.
An operation was launched.
They encountered insurmountable difficulties right from the very first step.
Invite Gao Linzhi out.
Throughout history, the so-called strategies for manipulating people have been limited to a few types: dining, holding meetings, and visiting...
However, when they arrived at the address, they could not find Gao Linzhi.
When they come out for meals or meetings, the other party always uses a stand-in; you can tell at a glance.
Players with Master Level Appraisal Skill can spot the difference directly.
They even brought out dozens of expensive medicines to create a hot spring bath as a perk, inviting the other person to participate, claiming it would improve their lifespan, physical condition, and mental state, but the other person still didn't come.
"Damn it, is he a rat? Such a strong person, why isn't he coming out?" These people were furious.
"Well, it seems we have no choice but to attack his forces."
"I don't believe he won't come out."
Gao Linzhi was observing the actions of those people at that moment.
Yes, he saw everything these people did.
What a bunch of idiots.
He had a good idea.
These people shouldn't be wasted.
So he pointed, and a mist rose around those people.
Yes, they will become NPCs in the Gao Linzhi dungeon.
These are free cannon fodder for the villains.
It's much better than AI.
At the same time.
Earth World, God's Domain Game.
The members of the Dragon Diagram Guild are desperately trying to delay the BOSS.
"Damn! The guild leader's right! We'll die together! I'll level up first to liven things up!"
"If it doesn't work out, we can just stay up all night and practice again. Who's afraid of who's a coward! Every real man stands tall!"
"Guild Master, we're with you! We'll live and die with the Dragon Diagram Guild!"
They all spoke with great enthusiasm, but in reality, it was because they could receive compensation.
If we don't have money, who will be with you two?
When Zhang Mingzhen arrived, this was the scene he saw—the group of people were full of fighting spirit, as if they were going to their deaths.
The close-combat fighters in the front row even staged a tragic sacrifice, and before dissipating, they didn't forget to put on expressions of grief and indignation, which made him feel nauseous.
"What kind of ritual are you holding...? Is it some kind of ceremony I can't understand?"
He felt his intelligence had been insulted.
He's clearly just after money, why is he putting on this heroic act?
"God! It's the great god Chongxing! Brothers, don't rush to send us to our deaths! We're saved!"
"Make way, let the expert take over! We can leave now!"
