Qin Feng observed the situation beneath the Abyss of the Wrongfully Dead with Shadow Perception for a little while and couldn't help being amused.
He discovered that the fairy Yuan was asking the mask-selling old man Ge Angke whether he wanted to join the Dark Shadow Reserve Legion...
If he wanted to join, he could try revealing the conditions for recruiting him as a guild NPC.
But the mask-selling old man seemed thoroughly depressed. He kept drinking, muttering things like "I'm dead, I'm dead," "demons shitting on my head," and "no way to fight back"...
Only after listening for quite a while did Qin Feng understand.
It turned out that the mask-selling old man Ge Angke had originally been the greatest genius of the Dragon Abyss Civilization. Despite his advanced age, he had unexpectedly awakened a Legendary Tier talent and led the entire Dragon Abyss Civilization to Ascension to the Land of Order!
But their civilization had only just undergone Ascension when they encountered the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor's sweep across the Land of Order.
At the time, the entire Demon Civilization served under the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor as his lackeys, and he had sent them to collect protection money from the Dragon Abyss Civilization.
Forced by circumstances, Ge Angke had originally intended to swallow the humiliation and pay protection money to survive. Even faced with an exorbitant tax rate of 50%, he could only compromise before the Demon Civilization... Most importantly, behind the Demon Civilization stood the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor, the very source of all that oppressive power!
But the Dragon Abyss Civilization's Second Strongest was a female player who firmly refused to compromise. She said a 50% tax rate was completely unacceptable, that it was tyranny and exploitation, and that they had to resist and fight for freedom.
