An Undercover Agent in the Game, a World Where Only the Fittest Survive

War Sky shook his head and said, "That's different. How can the bulk sales by shops compare to the system's rewards, especially since this is a special grade."

"I only want this Fluorescent Butterfly."

Seeing that War Sky was determined to win, Chen Xiang had no choice but to try to persuade "One Sword Nine Provinces".

Those above just give a few words, while those below run themselves ragged.

It has never changed.

He found the other party, first recounting how the other party had completed a special mission and reaped great rewards, expressing his admiration for their good fortune, before getting to the main topic: the ownership of the Fluorescent Butterfly.

"The Fluorescent Butterfly is indeed a rare support-type Summoned Beast, coveted by everyone."

"But with your current financial resources, the cost of training you would be considerable, not to mention the two hundred Gold Coin you still owe in debt."

"Furthermore, after hatching, there is still the need for experience accumulation and daily feeding. If one is unable to purchase Experience Pill and high-grade pet food, it would be a waste of this special aptitude."

Seeing that "One Sword Nine Provinces" seemed to be up for sale, Chen Xiang took the opportunity to push the price up.

"I know you're worried about getting a higher price at auction, but let's not even mention the transaction fees for cross-server auctions. Even if you succeed, you'll only get Gold Coin."

"If you give it to the guild, the guild leader is always generous, you will certainly not be short of Gold Coin, and your status in the guild will be different from before, at least a management position is within reach."

"I hope you will carefully consider the gains and losses involved."

"Don't forget, the real world is getting crueler and crueler."

In the end, Chen Xiang even made a subtle threat.

This explanation can be described as a watered-down version of coercion and inducement.

With a clear understanding of the entire land, One Sword Nine Provinces knew that Chen Xiang had come as a persuader.

This also shows that the president is determined to obtain the Fluorescent Butterfly.

If they don't sell or resell to outsiders, they'll probably have to find another guild to join.

If he were a Chongxing player who had cheated, he should be angrily leaving the guild right now, staging a satisfying "I became a top player after the guild abandoned me" slap-in-the-face scene.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are not like that.

He is even less so.

He just had some luck.

After a moment's consideration, he decided to go with the flow.

However, he didn't know that it was precisely because of his action that Gao Linzhi, who was watching closely, shook his head and canceled the opportunity to give him a cheat code.

This is the capriciousness of fate.

When you choose to bow your head, you also lose the gifts of fate that you should have received.

Just like Han Xin, when Han Xin repeatedly chose to bow his head instead of fleeing, he was destined to die.

His rebellion was unlikely to succeed, as he lacked a framework and sufficient subordinates, making it difficult to oppose Liu Bang.

But he could escape, flee north, where some people have already fled and are doing quite well.

That's still the case now.

Faced with coercion and temptation, One Sword Nine Provinces chose to let go.

In Gao Linzhi's view, that meant lacking backbone.

A man without backbone isn't worth cheating on.

Even with cheats, he's still a simp.

He either fawns over women, or he fawns over emperors, generals, and ministers, like Zhu Yuanzhang.

Gao Linzhi despises sycophants the most.

"Then I'll trouble you to put in a good word for me with the chairman. The compensation must be finalized, and the Gold Coin must not be less."

"I'm currently in debt, so the price can't be lower than..."

He secretly estimated that ordinary auxiliary Summoned Beast could fetch a considerable price, and special-level ones should start at least at a higher price.

Moreover, this Fluorescent Butterfly is a special reward from the system's mission, so its value should be even higher.

Even if it goes to an auction house, it will still be roughly above this number.

"Alright, I will convey this to the president."

Having settled the matter, Chen Xiang relaxed and immediately reported the situation to War Sky.

War Sky immediately promised to grant "One Sword Nine Provinces" management authority and offered a price that satisfied the other party.

One Sword Nine Provinces was also delighted to hear this.

Both parties agreed to complete the transaction as soon as they logged into the game.

He had no idea what he had lost.

He lost a chance to catch up with Chongxing.

Gao Linzhi originally thought he was good at system tasks and planned to train him as a second pawn to explore the secrets of system tasks.

They even prepared cheat codes for him.

That is, "Get Stronger by Walking."

But since the other party is already fawning over those above, then so be it.

The waiting time always feels long.

Amidst the anxiety and anticipation of many Earth players, the 24-hour fusion process finally came to an end.

The game "God's Domain" has once again opened its doors to all players.

Players who re-entered the game felt their bodies flow more smoothly and their movements were more free, as if they had simply entered a different world, completely eliminating the gap between the virtual and the real.

With only 50% integration, we've already experienced this much; what will it be like when we're fully integrated?

The world is probably about to enter a new era.

Is this the end of the world, or paradise?

Before War Sky could explore the various changes after the update, he hurriedly contacted One Sword Nine Provinces to complete the transaction.

Both sides were Spring Wind, having achieved their respective goals.

One obtained the special auxiliary Summoned Beast he had always dreamed of, while the other realized his dream of becoming rich overnight.

"Cousin, here's your five hundred gold coins back."

"Too much? Let the extra be interest; after all, we're different now than before!"

First, One Sword Nine Provinces paid off his debt to One Sword Eight Wastes, then turned to the auction house for a large-scale purchase.

The equipment he had long desired, the essential potion materials, the life-saving items... he acquired them all.

He naturally doesn't know what he's missed, and he never will.

Meanwhile, War Sky excitedly began to incubate the pet eggs.

Previously, players needed to spend Gold Coin to hatch animals and also had to ask Priest players to gradually Healing with spells. Later, an item called "Beast-Nurturing Pill" appeared in the achievement shop, which could help with hatching.

However, the price of 500 achievement points is often prohibitive for most people.

War Sky couldn't wait, so ByteDance spent a lot of money to buy the Beast-Nurturing Pill and immediately began incubation.

"Descend, my Summoned Beast!"

Amidst his somewhat childish shouts, a Fluorescent Butterfly, entirely white and shimmering with a soft glow, suddenly appeared.

The butterfly was enveloped in a soft white halo, and as its wings fluttered gently, specks of fluorescent light drifted down, lingering around War Sky.

The system interface then displays the basic information about this Pokémon.

"Fluorescent Butterfly (1) (Tamerable) [Special], Constitution 117, Spirit 209, Intelligence 80, Physical Defense 1170, Spell Resistance 2090"

"Starlight's Blessing: Upon entering combat, shower the holder and up to five allies with Radiant Dust, restoring 5% of their maximum health and mana per second."

"Good, very good! This will further increase our chances of survival."

War Sky was delighted as he browsed the rare attribute that restored health and mana proportionally. He immediately took out a pet-attracting potion to subdue it.

This is equivalent to having an extra personal Priest.

The battle for territory is imminent, and we must quickly upgrade it to a level comparable to our own.

"Chen Xiang, keep an eye out for any items in the auction house that can increase pet experience, and buy them as soon as you see them."

"Also, regarding 'One Sword Nine Provinces,' assign him a guild management position to appease him."

Precisely because he was very satisfied with Guangdie, he needed to keep One Sword Nine Provinces under control to prevent him from having any disloyal intentions in the future.

"Understood. This week's Territory War is scheduled for Sunday, there are still a few days left."

"The game developers have not yet announced the specific rules, and all the major guilds are in a wait-and-see mode."

"However, I've heard that there have been cases of raiding in the wild in other regions."

War Sky was not surprised by this.

From the day the update announcement was released, they knew that this God's Domain would never be as peaceful as before.

Even former allies can suddenly turn against each other when faced with conflicting interests.

Here, the only person you can trust is yourself.

"Notify the brothers in the guild that they must be cautious after leaving the main city and try to avoid acting alone."

"Always team up to hunt monsters in the wild. Even players who prefer to go solo must remain vigilant."

"Furthermore, keep a close eye on the movements of other guilds; all scouts must be on high alert."

Chen Xiang replied, "It has already been arranged."

"Currently, our guild's prestige is relatively stable in the District 3, as long as the other major guilds don't take any unusual actions."

Players who logged back into the game had varying reactions.

Some sought to remain safe and avoid leaving the city; others, however, sought to profit from the chaos.

Overall, most people are still in a cautious, exploratory phase.

"I'm too scared to move around at all. I don't even dare to go out to run trade routes anymore."

"There shouldn't be any robberies in our area yet, right? If anyone gets attacked, remember to shout it out in the world chat!"

"The District 3 are currently relatively calm; I haven't heard of any unrest."

"It seems there are already victims in the Seventh Major District, which has directly triggered a chaotic war between guilds."

"Alas, when will this cycle of revenge end?"

"Why bother with internal strife now? We players are already in a difficult situation enough."

The Seventh Major District also maintained relative peace when player levels were generally low.

The relationships between the major guilds are at least superficially polite, and not too strained.

Everything quietly changed when the Lionheart Stone appeared.

Once most players on this route reached level 55, the jungle area where Lionheart Tiger roamed gradually became the focus of contention among factions.

Large guilds squeeze out small guilds, while the small guilds unite in resistance.

A conflict inadvertently spread to the "City of Ambition" guild in the Seventh Major District, which was known for protecting its own members. The conflict suddenly escalated, and several other major guilds were also drawn into it.

The situation was only barely calmed down after a neutral arbitration team intervened.

However, the superficial harmony between guilds has been completely shattered, to the point that members are hostile to each other and refuse to run dungeons together.

After the new battle announcement was released, this tense atmosphere officially transformed into a prelude to fierce combat.

The entire Seventh Major District was filled with a tense and imminent atmosphere.

"President, we've set up an ambush here... Do we have enough men?"

A member of the "Righteous Spirit" guild in the Seventh Major District lowered his voice and asked the guild leader "Haoran" beside him.

Yesterday, as soon as they logged in, some of their guild members who were active in the wild were attacked and forced to retreat back into the city.

Although it was a sneak attack and the opponent couldn't be seen clearly, the God's Domain's system records clearly showed that it was the people from "City of Ambition" who were responsible, and some members even lost valuable equipment as a result.

All members of the Righteous Spirit and Upright Society, including the president himself, were outraged upon learning of this.

So they decided that today they would teach the other the same lesson!

"Don't worry, I've already inquired."

"Their guild will have a small team coming here to farm today, about ten people."

"There are enough of us. We must make a deep impression on those Ambition guys!"

Haoran was originally a college student. He entered the game "God's Domain" with his classmates simply to experience its wonders.

Unexpectedly, the situation later evolved to the point where they needed to rely on this to make a living.

But as long as his brothers were by his side, he feared no challenge from the God's Domain.

If you get hit, then hit back with all your might.

What kind of young person wouldn't be full of vigor?

When they noticed the dozen or so mounted figures rushing towards them, they were certain that they were players from the City of Desire.

"Target spotted, prepare for action—three, two, one, Shield Guard advance!"

After the order was given, the entire team of fifty people quickly launched an offensive, intending to seize the initiative by taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness.

Surprisingly, the group that was attacked did not show any panic; instead, they appeared to be expecting it.

Before Haoran could ponder the anomaly, more than ten members of his own team simultaneously left the team and even the guild, then immediately turned around and joined the opposing camp.

Faced with Haoran's astonishment, the guild leader of City of Ambition, "Ambition," curled his lips into a mocking smile:

"Surprised? Did you really think we were completely unaware of your schemes?"

"Without thorough preparation, would we have left the city so easily?"

"We just clashed yesterday, and today we're brazenly clearing out the fields—don't you have any doubts?"

"Only naive college students like you would believe such a simple calculation."

"Why..." Haoran's gaze swept over that familiar face, " In this World of Flowers, why would you betray me?"

"They were once your enemies, have you all forgotten?"

The collapse of his strategy didn't shake him too much; what truly stung him was the defection of his partners who had grown alongside him since the beginning of the game.

"Betrayal? Don't treat this game like child's play." Ambition interrupted coldly, "This is the real apocalypse."

"Your approach of equal distribution and mutual assistance has long been unpopular."

"Why has your guild suffered repeated defeats? It's because you've taken in too many burdens."

Why should the strong share resources with the weak? It's only a matter of time before the capable find their own way.

"Moreover, infiltrating game studios is a very common occurrence."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the newly surrendered members. "They chose the City of Ambition for a simple reason—I can offer them sufficient benefits."

"You should have understood this long ago."

As Ambition stated, the "Righteous Spirit" guild was initially formed by a group of like-minded students.

As games gradually encroach on reality, many families are moving into this world, including members who have never been exposed to games before.

Their speed in adapting to the rhythm of battle is naturally far inferior to that of others.

Most guilds have a threshold for combat strength. Those who are not strong enough will find it difficult to be accepted, even if they bring their families. They can only turn to side businesses such as commerce and crafts, or join small groups.

Haoran, however, made the exact opposite choice.

Perhaps because he was alone from a young age, he had a strong attachment to the word "family," and he almost never refused when a member asked his relatives to join.

When someone joins the guild, they will share the guild's basic benefits.
