Qi Sheng's consciousness quickly skimmed through the forum.
Recently, Pet Stream players had been banding together in ever greater numbers on the forum.
In just one week, 23 members of the Artifact Clan had been lured to the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range. After players focused their attacks on them and brought them to the brink of death, they were turned into pets. The players then devised a plan to use the pets to lure in and ambush more members. So far, the plan had worked without a hitch.
Unlike players, as Qi Sheng saw them, the Artifact Clan's higher-ups couldn't locate their members at any time.
After leaving the Artifact Valley, the clan members entered a state of near-total isolation.
Nor did each member of the Artifact Clan make a special trip back to their homeland to report on every host they had had. This gave players room to lure them in one by one. At the request of Pet Stream players, the joint battle group led by the God King had even opened a special support group for them.
Whenever a player was branded with the Pain Imprint, they would head to the Artifact Clan's homeland and put on an act, becoming the kind of host the clan members considered most "suitable." As the number of successfully lured-in players grew...
Many Pet Stream players also saw the benefits of banding together and gradually joined the operation.
During this time, a player who belonged to both the Detailed Study Faction and Pet Stream created a plugin for Pet Stream players: the Ten Thousand Spirits Pact.
The plugin became a popular download as soon as it appeared.
Nearly every player who followed the Pet Stream downloaded it.
It listed all known pets in detail, along with specific capture locations
