God Rank Hero

Ninth Heaven's player compensation measures spread throughout the entire game overnight via news and gaming forums.

That night, all the players who had been victims, as well as those affected by yesterday's Electric Eel incident, logged onto the Ninth Guild's website to confirm the news and received affirmative responses. Of course, due to last night's Electric Eel incident, the Royal Guild was directly involved, and Ninth Heaven had to wait for the Royal Guild's reply. In any case, having the word of a large guild, all the aggrieved players were overjoyed, bursting with happiness, and unanimously praised Ninth Heaven for the magnanimity and righteousness shown by a large guild.

That's right, Ninth Heaven, which had been silent in the China Region, finally made its move! Ninth Heaven's aim was to extend an olive branch to Da Fei under the guise of unity, especially when he was being isolated, while also looking after the emotions of the ordinary players. And what they saw as even more cunning was that Ninth Heaven had put the Royal Guild under the spotlight!

Naturally, the overlord of the Royal Guild was spitting mad upon hearing the news: "Why the hell should I respond to you? Why should we pay?"

Indeed, logically speaking, the Royal Guild could certainly refuse to pay since it was Da Fei who caused the harm, and the Royal Guild was also a victim of Da Fei; there was no reason for them to foot his bill. However, if the Royal Guild didn't pay and instead, Ninth Heaven, which had nothing to do with the matter, did, the reputation of the Royal Guild would be tarnished, making them look stingy and fake tycoons.

But even if they paid, so what? Although their reputation was kept, the common players would only be grateful to Ninth Heaven; it was after Ninth Heaven spoke out that their interests could be protected. In other words, Ninth Heaven could easily garner fame with just words, while they would have to be the ones paying without gaining any goodwill!

"Huang Zhen! Well done!" The Royal Guild's overlord clenched his teeth in fury!

To pay or not to pay, neither option was desirable, but they could only blame themselves for being a step slower than Ninth Heaven and getting played. No choice, of the two evils, they chose the lesser; they'd pay up, at least they could preserve their reputation of being generous.

After all, it was all about reputation. The overlord of the Royal Guild felt a tinge of envy towards Da Fei. Everyone knew Da Fei was dirt and would never pay up, so he was able to stay out of it. Is there no justice in this world? Unity? Unify my ass; it is precisely because of such trash in the China Region that unity is impossible, damn it!

...

But justice must prevail and Da Fei's responsibility must not be overlooked because he's trash. Moreover, Ninth Heaven's attempt to please both sides, especially their move to draw Da Fei in, immediately riled up Star. As a member of the Human Race, if Da Fei were to receive support from Ninth Heaven and be able to fully develop within the Human Race camp, that would be unacceptable! Naturally, Star wouldn't let Ninth Heaven get what they wanted.

Thus, under the covert encouragement of Eternal Star, the well-known dwarf player Skyshattering Thunder posted an illustrated post on the forum titled "The One Who Should Really Compensate is Da Fei, he owes at least 70 million Gold Coins!", where Skyshattering Thunder vehemently condemned Da Fei's heinous actions of not compensating despite his wealth, branding him the shame of the China Region and a disgrace among Chinese people.

Indeed, Skyshattering Thunder shared the details of his auction house duel with Da Fei with video screenshots.

Instantly, the forum erupted! The wealth of Da Fei and Skyshattering Thunder shocked the entire forum and the nearly ten million online players in the China Region! It was common to see evil in the penniless, but for the rich to still do evil was intolerable, not to mention that Da Fei had sold a Divine Artifact for twenty million in cash and climbed the ranks of the rich in real life, why was he still so vicious?

Some extremely angry players and Star's navy on the forum joined forces in support of the Royal Guild, vowing to hunt down Da Fei and reduce him to ashes. Aggressively violent comments began to flood the forum, and moderators were busy deleting and locking threads and issuing management warnings.

As he watched the forum outcry for Da Fei's downfall, Skyshattering Thunder felt his resentment satisfyingly ebbing away, like relieving a piss he had been holding for hours, feeling extremely pleased and comfortable! This was Skyshattering Thunder's goal, not only to suppress Da Fei and vent his anger but also to subtly showcase his wealth and power to all the players in the China Region, laying the groundwork for future fundraising efforts. This was also Star's goal, to completely isolate Da Fei and prevent Ninth Heaven from daring to have any outreach or contact with Da Fei.

In just one morning, the situation escalated beyond Ninth Heaven's expectations. In short, it was hard to say who had the advantage in this public opinion battle, but one thing was certain, Da Fei's reputation got even worse!

As for the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce players like Da Bing who faced the wrath of numerous gamers and the threat of being doxxed, they too fell silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to return to the city immediately. Even One Sword Eastward, who enjoyed this turn of events the most, got scared witless and dared not post and argue back. If the opponent managed to bribe the moderators and tracked down his forum IP for a real-life PK, that would be no laughing matter.

In any case, the guild members could only lay low, waiting for something else, like the international competition in the afternoon, to divert everyone's attention before they could sneak back.

...

And as a storm raged on the forums, Da Fei was snoring soundly, sleeping like a log.

Who knows how long it had been, but a series of System Prompt tones rang out like an alarm, waking Da Fei who was afk.

— Guild Notification: Warm welcome! The fisherman Kandasiro has joined the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce.

— Guild Notification: Warm welcome! The fisherman Ikada has joined the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce.

——Guild Information: Warm welcome...

——Guild Information [Vice President Coltner]: Welcome new members to join the illustrious and legendary Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce. In order to expand our business more effectively, the Guild has started to undertake terrestrial trade. We have now established trade connections with 5 small towns under the jurisdiction of Elorin City. All members, please work together for the development of our Guild...

Seeing the dozens of sudden Guild messages, the Guild channel was filled with surprise!

"Brother Fei! Brother Fei is recruiting people!"

"It's another NPC! Brother Fei recruits all NPCs, he's too awesome! I haven't heard of any other Guild in any country recruiting NPCs!"

"Wow haha, NPCs are great, they won't share the rewards from Brother Hao with us!"

Da Fei rubbed his bleary eyes, forced himself to be alert, and checked the messages; the fisherman's membership and land transportation matters were finally settled. But of course, Da Fei's first reaction wasn't to care about such trivial matters. First, he checked the current time; it was 8 A.M., and he had slept through almost a day in the game. Then he immediately rowed to the channel to check on the condition of the Eight-Headed Snake, which also had not changed much. Good!

And it was at this moment that Da Fei noticed a message left for him. He looked and saw it was from Brother Hao!

Brother Hao: "Brother Fei, some people are rallying a Navy on the forums to exaggerate public hatred against you, and there are even those who want to doxx you. Beware the wicked, Brother Fei—don't post anything on the website forums that might reveal your personal information, prevent doxxing!"

What the heck! Da Fei was jolted awake by this! Damn it, wasn't there a time when someone threatened to doxx me as well? Do they really think that even the National Security Bureau can do anything to me?

Da Fei immediately replied: "I've seen this kind of thing a lot, just consider it a fart, thanks for the concern, Brother Hao!"

Brother Hao laughed: "Good, worthy of Brother Fei, just treat them like a fart! But I've still mentioned it to the brothers in the Guild to be a bit more vigilant."

Da Fei laughed heartily: "Truly worthy of Brother Hao, you're online so early?"

"I basically didn't log off at all, okay! Brother Fei, didn't you stay online all night as well?"

What the heck! When even a Tycoon is working so hard, how can I not feel the sentiment? Da Fei then replied: "Brother Hao, you really have to take care of that dragon body of yours."

"Mutual care, mutual care. Brother Fei must have been AFK and just woke up, make sure to eat and rest well, haha!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

After ending the conversation with Brother Hao, Da Fei suddenly felt heartwarming; indeed, he felt quite hungry. Who would have thought, apart from their insane tipping, Tycoons also care about these little things? And at this moment, Da Fei felt that Brother Hao was actually a normal person too, and a rather good one at that. Anyway, it was really nice to meet someone like Brother Hao.

Da Fei gathered himself, took care of his hygiene, and walked downstairs to the noodle shop to have a bowl of beef noodles. After returning to his computer, he suddenly noticed two more messages from the system:

——System Prompt: Your Divine Artifact Equipment, the Sea Soul Staff, has absorbed and fused with the souls of 565 fallen Banshees, obtaining Low-level Sea Demon Demon Soul +11, Sea Soul Staff gains special skill: Demon Soul Sea Demon Rebirth, Banshee Demon Soul Fusion.

——Demon Soul Sea Demon Rebirth: The Banshees of the Hell Race are very pure Spiritual Bodies, and the Sea Soul Staff can absorb and convert the spiritual bodies of deceased Banshees into Demon Soul Sea Demons.

——Banshee Demon Soul Fusion: Some of the lower-level Banshees of the Hell Race lack independent consciousness and cannot be converted into independent Sea Demon Demon Souls. The Sea Soul Staff can fuse the souls of a large number of low-level Banshees to obtain a brand new Sea Demon Demon Soul.

Da Fei's eyebrows twitched; after such a long wait, what was expected had finally arrived! This was a special skill developed when all the Banshee Army fell during the competition—a single Elite Cannon Emperor or 50 regular Banshees could be fused by the Sea Soul Staff into one Sea Demon Demon Soul.

As for what the Sea Demon Demon Soul is for? Definitely not for making Ghost Ships, otherwise, there would be no need for the Sea Soul Staff to develop two special skills just for it. At that time, Da Fei thought it was very likely a new type of troop being developed! At the very least, it's a backup plan in case something unexpected happens to the Charming Emperor Cannon Emperor, and this backup is very important in the upcoming battle with the Eight-Headed Snake.

Nothing more to say, while the Eight-Headed Snake is still causing trouble, it's time to study how to use this Sea Demon Demon Soul. As for the researcher, of course, it's Deirdre, she understands Banshees better than anyone. (To be continued.
