I Can See All The Bosses' Drops

Chapter 235: Box 216: The Beginning of the Dispute



"Have you heard? It's said that Shengshi Dynasty has discovered a massive treasure and has already gathered nearly a thousand guild members there."

"A thousand people? What kind of treasure needs that many?"

"It's said to be the ruins of an ancient city. Do you think it's necessary?"

"Hold on, how do you know about this?"

"Heh, with such a huge commotion, even if Shengshi wanted to hide it, they couldn't."

"Besides, many people have already gone to join the excitement. It's impossible to hide it."

...

Rumors about Shengshi Dynasty started spreading on the game forums.

Everywhere, there were voices claiming Shengshi Dynasty found some ancient city treasure, speaking fervently and convincingly,

and the momentum only increased, even overshadowing the buzz around Feng Hua's tower challenge.

Initially, the drunken leader only called over three hundred elites, considering this could effectively keep the matter confidential and be carried out in secrecy.

However, the drunkard never imagined that the target would be much tougher than anticipated.

This left him no choice but to summon all guild members to the site.

It was this move that sparked a heated discussion in the game.

As Shengshi Dynasty's assembled force of over a thousand was grandly marching towards the destination,

there was a large following of rogue players tailing them from behind, even exceeding the total number from Shengshi Dynasty.

Although Shengshi Dynasty wasn't someone to mess with, it didn't deter those eager for a piece of the action or opportunistic individuals.

At the same time, news spread that major guilds had sent Thieves to quietly investigate the situation.

Shengshi's drunkard never anticipated such a significant reaction.

Upon learning that there were actually thousands of rogue players following behind, Shengshi's drunkard couldn't help but frown.

He had still underestimated the number of people willing to risk it all for profit.

Wei Xiao from Shengshi asked on the side:

"What now?"

Shengshi's drunkard sneered coldly:

"Since they love joining the fun, let them come."

They think this treasure is so easy to take?

Heh heh...

Previously, Shengshi's drunkard was contemplating how to maximize benefits with minimal costs.

Upon receiving this news, Shengshi's drunkard devised another plan.

Shengshi's drunkard said to Wei Xiao:

"Spread the word that the treasure is hidden in this village, and whoever can get it will keep it."

Wei Xiao was shocked:

"What?"

Shengshi's drunkard retorted, leaving no room for argument:

"Do as I say."

The moment the news broke, the players in the game immediately boiled over.

Those with discerning minds could naturally detect Shengshi's drunkard's intent, but it also gave schemers a chance to get involved.

Players who were able to keep pace with the leading ranks in the early stages of the game weren't all clueless.

A group followed behind Shengshi Dynasty into the destination.

Seeing these people, Shengshi's drunkard ignored them, saying nothing more, and instead issued a command to the guild, with only one line: "Stand by."

As expected by Shengshi's drunkard, there were no major guild members among the players who followed.

Among these thousands, the majority were rogue players.

The major guilds likely understood well that offending Shengshi Dynasty over a baseless rumor was extremely unwise.

Perhaps major guilds did send people, likely Thieves, lurking around.

Seeing that Shengshi Dynasty remained inactive, the rogue players weren't foolish either; looking at the level-40-plus rebels, they realized this was no simple task.

Because among these rogues, many were even below level 20.

Everyone hid within the forest, waiting for the situation to further unfold.

For these players who came with impure intentions from the start, lurking amidst enough chaos to fish for benefits was their true aim.

Though none of them were idiots, there were always Thieves hoping to rely on Stealth to infiltrate the camp and survey the situation.

Unfortunately, before these individuals even approached the camp gates, they were instantly killed by the guards.

After several reckless Thieves met their end, the players finally calmed down, mirroring Shengshi Dynasty by staying put.

At 6 PM, both in-game and in reality, the sky gradually darkened.

As more and more players logged on and received word, a dense cluster of players hid amongst the lush forest, looking at the well-lit village in the distance.

Each rebel NPC was joyously eating grilled meat and drinking fruit wine.

Someone looked towards Shengshi Dynasty's side, puzzled:

"We've been waiting one or two hours; why haven't they made a move yet?"

A player next to him also complained:

"Indeed!"

Someone analyzed the current situation:

"More and more people are arriving, and as the night falls, if a fight breaks out now, it would be unfavorable for both sides. What are they planning?"

Time ticked by, and some became impatient, even starting to doubt:

"Who claimed there's treasure here? This rundown place doesn't seem to have any treasure at all. Were we fooled?"

Just then, someone suddenly noticed some chaos in the previously peaceful village:

"Stay quiet; there's movement over there."

It seems someone couldn't hold back and snuck in under cover of night, only to be discovered.

This disturbance didn't stop quickly but went on for a while.

Someone couldn't help but exclaim:

"Now that's a bold one!"

Suddenly, someone noticed the rebels chasing behind a lone figure.

Due to the dim moonlight, many could only see a hazy shadow:

"Look at that person; doesn't it resemble someone?"

"Who?"

The one who initially spoke, seeing the approaching face with some terror, said:

"It's Shengshi's top Thief, Ghost Blade."

Seeing the rebels pursuing Ghost Blade, he was instantly terrified:

"Run!"

Someone noticed Ghost Blade's intention, becoming utterly terrified:

"Shengshi people are too despicable. They're using us as cannon fodder!"

Though many realized something was wrong, too many players gathered around this time.

Those in front, aware of the development, couldn't escape, while those behind still cluelessly asked what's happening ahead.

After this delay, the rebels had already charged into the crowd, sneering:

"Damn the Alliance, they won't even leave us alone here. Brothers, slaughter all these Alliance dogs."

As the level-40-plus, tattered Armor-wearing rebel NPCs tore into the crowd, they were like wolves entering a flock of sheep. Those waiting for easy pickings were thrown into chaos, white lights constantly rising above the gathered masses.

After the initial chaos, someone finally shouted:

"Everyone, don't panic!"

"Shield Warriors, move up. Other players, give supporting attacks. We outnumber them, no need to fear."
