Chapter 954 The Heartless Cloudrise City

Fighting Workshop wasn't good at fighting, but they excelled at gathering information. This was also an important indicator of a workshop's strength. At this moment, everyone was gathered together, and there was a bit of competition in this regard. It was something to be proud of if you could find out something that I couldn't.

However, no boss could stand up and boast for the time being. Although they weren't worried about not being able to get information, it would still take time. Looking at the way people were crowded together, they already expected that gathering information this time might be a bit difficult. Because even among the twenty-six guilds, those who weren't in the innermost circle couldn't clearly grasp what had happened. As for the bosses' current positions, they were actually quite miserable. They were piled up with the players from Cloudrise City who had come to watch the excitement, but they couldn't even be considered spectators. To be precise, they were watching the spectators. The spectators at this time were the small fries on the outer circle of the twenty-six guilds.

"How long are we going to be stuck like this?" The news hadn't arrived for a long time, and there were no changes on the field. The bosses couldn't help but feel anxious.

"If we stay deadlocked like this and can't fight, won't we have wasted our time?"

The bosses were silent. This situation was very likely to happen. In such a stalemate where no one could do anything to anyone, wouldn't everyone just communicate and exchange ideas? Once communication started, it might end without any result, but this was not the situation the workshops wanted to see.

"It seems we have to give it a push," Gaishi Qiying suddenly said. The bosses all looked at him. Of course, they understood what Gaishi Qiying meant. These were all things they had planned in advance.

"Isn't it a bit early?" Yaxiaosuan'gen said.

"Early? If we drag it out any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight, right? Or is this what you want to see?" Gaishi Qiying's words were always loaded when he spoke to Yaxiaosuan'gen. Of course, he had every reason to be so bitter and hateful towards Yaxiaosuan'gen.

"The problem is, Qianli Yizui isn't online right now. Wouldn't it be pointless to make a fuss?" Yaxiaosuan'gen said.

"Really? Qianli Yizui isn't online? What's going on? It's almost noon and he's still not online? What kind of quality is that?" a boss said.

Gaishi Qiying gritted his teeth. This was a pit he had dug himself, but now he was stuck in it and couldn't get out. The goal of his cooperation with the workshops was to eliminate Qianli Yizui and ensure the continuation of the efficient leveling business. But for him personally, he wasn't as concerned about efficient leveling as the other workshops. He would be even happier if this business was completely ruined. For him, it would just be one less project to make money from, while Yunteng would be finished because of it.

It was a pity that the current situation made it impossible to completely destroy it. Yunteng had also carefully prepared this business. They started by establishing a foothold in thirty main cities, and then pulled in other workshops. Gaishi Qiying couldn't destroy it now, nor could he destroy it. He could only think of ways to compress Yunteng's profits. As a result, Qianli Yizui and his group continued to jump out and oppose him, destroying his grand plan. Gaishi Qiying's heart would race whenever he thought about it, and he would be warned by the system.

Now he had tied all the workshops together to deal with Qianli Yizui, but everyone's purposes were slightly different. The others only wanted to eliminate Qianli Yizui so that the efficient leveling business wouldn't be disturbed, nothing more. But what about him, Gaishi Qiying? He wanted to take this opportunity to settle both old and new scores at once. As a result, he was already very restless when facing the same situation, while the others were still waiting to see the rabbit before letting go of the hawk.

Gaishi Qiying took two deep breaths. Now was not the time to be暴躁 (bào zào - irritable). He had already deeply experienced the system's concern for the players' health. After calming down his emotions, Gaishi Qiying spoke again, "If you all really want to wait until Qianli Yizui comes online, then that's a bit troublesome. Based on my long-term observation of this guy, his online time is usually during the peak hours after dinner, which is at least six or seven hours from now. Do you think the current situation can be maintained until then?"

"Moreover, the fact that Qianli Yizui hasn't come online yet is a problem in itself. Knowing that he's going to face such a big battle, Qianli Yizui, the strongest combat power, isn't online. What do you think that means?" Gaishi Qiying said.

"Very Heaven is preparing to resolve this matter peacefully!" a boss blurted out.

"That's right. Isn't the situation that Very Heaven is creating right now forcing these twenty-six guilds to sit down and resolve this matter with them?" Gaishi Qiying said.

"Damn it, what's going on up front? Why can't we still get any news?" Under Gaishi Qiying's prodding, a boss who was already anxious finally reached the same completely restless state as Gaishi Qiying.

"But if we start fighting now, it'll be hard to last for six or seven hours," someone said.

"Hehe." Gaishi Qiying smiled. "If we really start fighting, will Qianli Yizui still wait until evening to come online?"

"That's right!" a boss said in realization. "He'll definitely be called up!"

"So, we don't need to worry about whether Qianli Yizui can make it to the scene, because he can't possibly miss it. What we need to do is ensure that this scene happens," Gaishi Qiying concluded.

"Let's do it!"

"Yeah! We can't wait any longer!"

Gaishi Qiying's analysis was quite successful this time. Many bosses had sided with him. Gaishi Qiying glanced at Yaxiaosuan'gen triumphantly. He had always suspected that the relationship between Yaxiaosuan'gen and Very Heaven was not simple, but he had deliberately tied Yaxiaosuan'gen in as well. This was his cleverness.

By tying Yaxiaosuan'gen together, if this matter succeeded, then Yaxiaosuan'gen and Very Heaven's group would be considered to have fallen out, and their relationship would be broken. If this matter failed, then there were two possibilities. If it failed because of Yaxiaosuan'gen's interference, then he would be ruining everyone's business and cutting off their financial paths, and he would be responsible. If it was for some other reason, then there was nothing to say. The result would be that no one would be able to do business, and Yaxiaosuan'gen would not be spared either.

In the final analysis, the most crucial point was that Gaishi Qiying had Chen Qiyi, this trump card, in his hands. That's why it's said that the most important thing in production relations is who owns the means of production.

"We should at least wait for this wave of news to come back, right?" Yaxiaosuan'gen said, seeing the bosses' eagerness.

"Boss Ya is so unhurried. Is it because you've already made enough money from the efficient leveling business?" Gaishi Qiying said sarcastically. In any case, he would not let Yunteng off. So if there was dirty water to be splashed, he would create dirty water to splash.

"I just think that our large-scale promotion is, after all, a backup plan. If possible, everyone still hopes to sit down and wait and see, right? This situation hasn't started for very long, so wouldn't it be a bit too hasty for us to start the backup plan now?" Yaxiaosuan'gen said.

"A backup plan is used based on the judgment of the situation, what does it have to do with time? The current situation is actually more favorable the sooner the backup plan is used. Boss Ya doesn't like this backup plan so much. Is it because you're afraid that some of your friends won't be happy?" Gaishi Qiying said with a sneer. In his opinion, Yaxiaosuan'gen certainly had reason not to want too many workshops to come forward. He still wanted to continue to be harmonious with Very Heaven. This kid wanted to make money and not offend people at the same time. Gaishi Qiying was determined not to let him get his wish, and he had to make him struggle and suffer.

After another round of arguments, Gaishi Qiying still had the upper hand. The bosses began to order their subordinates to take action. The workshop's personnel, who had already spread throughout Cloudrise City, immediately began to work hard to incite the masses, calling on everyone to resist the invaders. From the leveling area to the tavern, to the resurrection point, to the most readily available crowd gathered around the clock tower to watch the excitement...

The bosses had already begun to quickly evacuate from here. In their opinion, this place was bound to be the core area of the war after the battle was triggered. It would be too dangerous to watch the excitement from close range.

Incitement always takes time. The workshop's staff worked hard to give speeches everywhere, while the bosses quietly waited for news. One minute, two minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes. After a long time, Cloudrise City was still peaceful and serene. Some bosses couldn't help but look back at the crowd they had left behind. It was no different from when they had left. According to their thinking, that should have been the easiest place to stir up anger, and they had also placed the most manpower there. But half an hour had passed, and there wasn't even a little commotion? It was as if nothing had been done?

The restless bosses sent messages to ask, and the reply they received was that the incitement was continuing...

Of course, the bosses couldn't possibly know the lowest-level incitement coolies. They each had their own person in charge of this aspect, and these people in charge were sweating profusely at this time.

They didn't know why, but the incitement work in Cloudrise City was progressing extremely poorly. The people they sent out to incite and provoke were met with cold words. Everyone unanimously believed that the players in this damn place called Cloudrise City were very heartless and soulless.

The person in charge didn't believe that such a thing could happen when he first heard his subordinates' report. He personally went to verify it, changed multiple places, and found that the situation was very real. But being heartless was good. The person in charge who went to the front line found that the players clearly had the desire to beat him to death.

Why was this happening? The person in charge couldn't figure it out. At this time, the boss asked again, and everyone didn't know how to answer, so they could only delay it for the time being.

Of course, not all people in charge used the "delay" tactic. Some told the truth. As a result, a boss immediately jumped out and shouted, "Damn, the players in Cloudrise City are all heartless and soulless. We can't incite them?"

"How could such a thing happen?" Most of the bosses had received the "incitement is continuing" delaying tactic and hadn't thought about this aspect at all.

"Really, that's what my people said," the boss said.

The bosses sneered, thinking that this guy's subordinates were incompetent. It wasn't until the bosses received similar reports one after another, and then a piece of information was passed on after several twists and turns: a certain guild in Cloudrise City, the guild leader specifically instructed today, not to conflict with the foreign city players who were going to fight over, and resolutely not to pay attention to anyone who provoked them.
