Dealing With It

That's why people say you have to go out and travel to broaden your horizons.

In the past, Old Wang certainly wouldn't have been able to directly understand the principle behind the Obelisk.

He can even understand now why these people are going mad, because the powerful force of the Mythic Item has altered their bodies.

Moreover, the equipment clearly had an owner, perhaps even Master-Binding Divine Weapon, like Lao Naiser.

That's why they created this White Lotus Divine Sect out of thin air.

"Absorb the power within objects?" General Zhang's interest was piqued again.

His lifespan is almost over, and he doesn't want to give up any opportunity he has now.

"Don't even think about it. This is not a method that humans can use. Besides, the Obelisk clearly has an owner. Don't try it if you don't want to turn into a monster," Old Wang said directly.

"I know that if I become a monster, I won't be myself anymore, and even if I could survive, I wouldn't try it!" Zhang Yi.

"No problem!"

After giving everyone a thorough explanation of the Abyss, Old Wang dismissed the meeting and led the Player to the Spacetime Legion.

The first thing Old Wang did upon arriving was to get rid of all the NPCs sent by General Zhang.

Whether they were captains or deputy legion commanders, Old Wang didn't tolerate any of them.

Actually, if he could, Old Wang would even kick out Dark Night, leaving only Player in the entire Spacetime Legion at this stage.

Once Player have fully established themselves in the Alliance, they can then cooperate with NPCs.

As for when we'll establish a firm foothold? That's when a large number of Player break through to the Legendary.

Unfortunately, Dark Night was very well-behaved during Old Wang's absence and didn't make a move, so he didn't have a chance.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. General Zhang is the acting Alliance Chair; how could Dark Night dare to make a move?

They certainly wouldn't have fared well if the Player hadn't drawn their fire.

"On what grounds are you dismissing us? We were appointed by General Zhang, and we haven't made any mistakes!" one of them said to Old Wang, clearly indignant.

He was appointed as the deputy Legion Commander by General Zhang, a position that was worlds apart from his previous one.

There are things we might not even think about when we don't have them, but losing them after having them is truly agonizing.

I can endure the darkness, because I have never seen the light.

Old Wang didn't have much of a reaction to the person who jumped out; he simply had him dragged away.

But the next moment, this person summoned Mecha, and the Player who were supporting him were instantly blasted away, their health bars depleted, and they were sent to the Respawn Point.

Seeing this, Old Wang got angry. He could forgive the person who couldn't accept the disappointment and made a scene.

However, it cannot tolerate this NPC treating human life like dirt, even if the Player will not die.

He summoned the Mecha without the slightest hesitation; any one of these NPCs would be doomed.

Even Old Wang couldn't save him with his Holy Light; after all, Holy Light can't save the dead.

Therefore, Old Wang did not intend to let him go and directly announced his death sentence.

However, Old Wang did not summon the Mecha; there were too many people here. He snapped his fingers at the Mecha that was attacking him.

Six elemental shackles descended from the sky, firmly fixing the Mecha to the ground.

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free of the restraints.

Then an elemental Magic Array appeared beneath him, and an Elemental Impact shot into the sky, instantly "disintegrating" the level 40+ Mecha.

That's right, it was disintegration. Old Wang directly disintegrated the Mecha into its most basic elements, leaving nothing behind, including the man's corpse.

After doing all this, Old Wang said to Lin Qimeng, "Draft a document and send it out, saying that this person attempted to assassinate the Alliance Leader and was shot dead on the spot!"

"Okay! But when did you learn this skill?" Lin Qimeng asked, her eyes shining as she looked at Old Wang.

Everyone around him was looking at him with the same expression, which made Old Wang feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't look at me like that. When you reach the Legendary, you'll be able to do what I do. This skill comes naturally; you don't need to learn it," Old Wang said.

"I used to not believe people who said this game could turn you into Superman, but now I'm completely proven wrong. It turns out Superman is right beside me!"

"Damn, I'm a warrior. If I'd known mages were this cool, I would have chosen a mage."

"Hahaha! I am a mage!"

"Hahaha! You'll never reach the Legendary!"

"Hahaha... What did you say! Take this, Monkey Steals Peaches!!!"

"Ah~ You actually used such a vicious move, watch out for my groin kick!"

"Ah~ I'll fight you to the death!"

Everyone: "..."

It took everyone a lot of effort to separate these two former "good friends" who had turned against each other. These two were true friends, after all; every move they made was aimed straight at vital points without any mercy.

The farce dampened the emotions that everyone had just managed to build up, allowing them to move on to the next task.

They need to deal with the Player who have sided with the NPCs, and they've already figured out how to do it.

"We have no objection to your desire for development and to seeking powerful backers, but the premise is that you cannot sacrifice the interests of others."

You all know how much effort Player have put into the entire Space-Time, yet you've allowed it to Space-Time so much for your own little things.

This is intolerable! Hand over what you've obtained and leave the Spacetime Legion!

After gathering most of the Player who had joined forces with the NPCs, Old Wang spoke to them.

The best way to deal with greedy people is to make them lose what they care about. And what do Player care about most? Money, of course.

If it weren't for the money, why would they choose to curry favor with NPCs?

Therefore, the biggest punishment for them is a fine, to teach them a profound lesson.

But how could these people possibly hand over their profits obediently? They don't even care about being branded as Traitor, so why would they care about what Old Wang says?

After Old Wang finished speaking, only three people obediently handed over all their gains and left the Spacetime Legion; the others didn't take his words seriously at all.

"Boss, I see no one else has paid, why do we have to?"

"Besides, why should we hand over everything? He has no idea how much money we made!" After the three left, a bald man asked a pale-faced young man.

"Of course the boss has his reasons, don't ask too many questions, you brainless fool," said a young man with a mohawk.

"You have a brain, explain yourself!"

These three are a small group; they grew up in an orphanage and have been together since childhood.

The pale-faced young man called "boss" by the bald man was named Jin Yi, the bald young man was named Jin Er, and the young man with the mohawk was named Jin San.

After leaving the orphanage and seeing the bustling world, they vowed to make money.

Even their names were changed later; they didn't originally have the surname Jin, nor did they have such simple names.

Those who changed their surname to Jin to achieve their goals are truly people with great perseverance.

Seeing the two brothers about to start arguing, Jin Yi said directly, "You two are accusing each other of being brainless."

"Haha, that shouldn't be the case, boss, look," Jin Er said, rubbing his bald head.

"Alright, I didn't say I wouldn't tell you. I was just thinking about how big the gap is between me and that person."

The reason I chose to pay and leave honestly is because I knew I really couldn't leave without paying.

What do you think we did this time? It was an act of betrayal against over 99% of the Player in the entire game.

If you don't pay up honestly, you'll only be drained dry.

"And they must have a way to verify if we've handed it all in. Don't forget, this game has magic involved," Jin Yi said.

"As expected, the boss's thinking is far-sighted!" Jin San.

"You're really good at flattering people!" Jin Er.

"Of course!"

"You're quite proud of yourself."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. This might be our chance!"

Just as Spacetime Legion Jin Yi had predicted, those who refused to hand over their profits were put on the wanted list by the crowd.

Moreover, he was wanted throughout the entire game, and his photo was posted everywhere, even in the real world.

Although Old Wang ordered the evacuation immediately upon discovering the situation, it was too late.

As a result, these people were unlucky. They were killed wherever they went online, and they were looked down upon and couldn't hold their heads up anywhere offline.

They were convinced in no time, and because of the lie detector, they couldn't keep anything at all; it was a complete loss.

Some people have already spent their earnings and are unable to make up for it.

This caused some people serious injuries, and they didn't even have a chance to recover.

Even though the bounty was withdrawn, they wanted to get back into the game.

Disaster!
