I needed to issue a statement, lest local members went out and found different prices, then accused the Spirit Network of discriminatory treatment.
Anse did not want to take the blame for that.
He had not discriminated against Gray Vault Tianyu's members. Mordenkainen, one of the local big shots, had simply been too ruthless and raised the prices himself.
After some thought, he did not reveal the existence of Mordenkainen and the Circle of Eight, referring to them only as "local administrators."
The statement was simple: every Desolate Universe System had different circumstances, and before entering one, the Spirit Network would hold friendly consultations with local administrators or representatives to jointly formulate more suitable operational policies.
Some major regions operated under semi-autonomy, and groups of local administrators possessed a certain degree of autonomous authority, including pricing rights and feature settings.
That way, even if members from a certain Desolate Universe System discovered that the Spirit Network services back home differed from those elsewhere, they would have no reason to blame the Spirit Network.
Anyone dissatisfied could join forces with local members to apply for the removal of the current administrators, except for deities.

Mordenkainen gave Anse a long look, cast a teleportation spell, and
