Chapter 27 Crisis

Soon, the two of them followed to the office door. Ye Wei had already entered.

Lin Zinuo pulled Su Mo straight to the office door to eavesdrop. However, Su Mo didn't complain this time, because he was also curious about where Ye Wei's confidence came from.

Inside the office, Ye Tian was sitting in the main seat, while Ye Wuhen was earnestly trying to persuade Qian Chengxue.

"Sister, you better think this through. You won't get another chance like this."

"No need, I am very clear about every decision I make."

Qian Chengxue's tone was as cold and resolute as ever, without the slightest wavering.

"You're certainly confident, but do you have the capital to back it up? To put it bluntly, times have changed. You should have seen it too. The rules for the Earth Cup have been announced. Only one guild can win in the end. Tianlong Guild is no longer investing in us, which means the bonus period is over."

"Father has also decided to reduce the size of the legions and personnel. The entire guild will only retain two legions: the eldest brother's and the eldest sister's. The remaining sisters' legions will all be disbanded and sent back to work in the factory. The elite personnel and equipment will be extracted and added to the two legions, which will provide a huge amount of compensation. Otherwise, you can only play in the mud by yourself. Without the support of the main guild, you will lose everything."

"That's none of your concern."

Qian Chengxue remained unmoved.

"I'm giving you a way out; don't be ungrateful. The assets you have in the real world won't support the expenses in the game."

Ye Wei's eyes flashed with annoyance.

Ye Tian, sitting in the main seat, frowned slightly. Although the merger plan was a last resort, it was also a major policy set by the group.

The Five Dragon Heads entered the game to collect resources for the Tianlong Guild. Now, most of the produced and collected resources have been delivered.

If the rules of the Earth Cup hadn't changed, the Tianlong Guild could have taken them along for the ride.

Now that the rules were out, the Tianlong Guild naturally wouldn't pour resources into them. Of course, it wasn't that the Tianlong Guild completely cut off their subsidies, but that it shifted most of the subsidies to real-world industries. The Dawn Group had to shrink its online presence.

The elites would be concentrated in two legions so that when the war came, the Dawn Guild could continue to contribute and minimize losses. After all, the ultimate goal of capital is profit.

By ensuring the Dawn Group's position, they could also reduce losses!

In short, without subsidies, entering the game would be a complete loss.

"You don't need to worry about these things. I will take care of them myself," Qian Chengxue replied, her emotions unwavering.

Ye Tian then said, "Xiao Xue, I have always been fair to my children. Since you have made this decision, I won't force you to incorporate your legion. However, from now on, the group will no longer provide any financial support."

"Thank you, Father."

Qian Chengxue bowed to Ye Tian.

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Ye Wuhen's face immediately turned ugly. In principle, Qian Chengxue's legion should have been taken over by him.

He could have recovered it at a very low price, and his strength could have been further enhanced, but now that was out of the question.

However, he knew Ye Tian's temper well. Once he spoke, it was difficult to change his mind.

So, he signaled Ye Wei to settle for second best!

Ye Wei, understanding, accused, "Father, I didn't want to say it, but you saw it too. Without the guild's permission, she privately dispatched the Helan, resulting in it being severely damaged. She has no sense of the big picture. Before I came, I saw the repair fund application Qian Chengxue submitted. It's obvious she doesn't have the money to repair it. I think the Helan should be taken back and given to the eldest brother to maximize profits. And since we're all family, the eldest brother might even give her a large sum of money."

After hearing this, Ye Tian turned to look at Qian Chengxue and said sternly, tapping the armrest, "Xiao Xue, I didn't want to say it, but since the Helan was captured by you, I won't say anything about how you use it. But since you can't afford to repair it, sell it to your eldest brother."

"Father, I applied for resources before I knew about such a big change. Now that I know, I can repair it myself. There's no need to sell it," Qian Chengxue replied methodically.

"Ridiculous. Do you think we don't know how much money you have?" Ye Wei sneered.

Ye Tian's expression changed for a moment. To be honest, he really wanted to take back the Helan to help Ye Wuhen, after all, he was the future heir to the family. But then he remembered Xiao Wen's words, and he couldn't help but hesitate. So he stood up.

"In that case, I won't say anymore. Good luck to you."

Ye Wuhen couldn't sit still any longer. The Helan was very important to him. Not long ago, the Tianlong Guild had successfully launched a satellite, and now the world map of their location in the Star Ring was displayed.

The continent of the entire world was distorted and completely surrounded a huge inland sea.

In the center of the sea, there was a mist-covered area. It was obvious that the central area would be the largest area of conquest in the future, so ships were extremely important.

The Helan had to be obtained.

"Father..."

Unfortunately, Ye Wuhen was interrupted by Ye Tian's warning glare before he could finish speaking.

Su Mo and Lin Zinuo, who were eavesdropping at the door, quickly tried to retreat when they saw them coming out.

As a result, they bumped into someone.

Lin Zinuo and Su Mo turned around and saw Sun Li and the others had also come, they were also eavesdropping.

"You guys?"

"Never mind us, hurry up and get out of the way," Sun Li quickly pulled Lin Zinuo and Su Mo aside.

Soon, the office door was pushed open. Ye Tian walked out with Ye Wuhen and the others, and they left straight away.

After they left, Qian Chengxue also walked out of the office.

Sun Li and the others immediately surrounded her, their faces full of worry.

"Sister Xue, is our legion going to be finished?"

"Yeah, is the guild really not giving us any money?"

"What should we do?"

Faced with the eager eyes of the crowd, Qian Chengxue rarely smiled, slowly raising her hands, signaling everyone not to panic. Then, she smiled and said to Sun Li and the others, "Everyone, don't panic. I assure you, our Tenth Legion will not be disbanded, nor will it be merged into other legions. There will be difficulties, but I will find a way to solve them. However, there may really be layoffs, but not complete layoffs. It's more of a job adjustment, which is to adjust some personnel to other jobs in reality."

Hearing Qian Chengxue's words, Sun Li and the others lowered their heads.

Su Mo frowned. Yesterday, when he saw the rules of the Earth Cup, he knew things were going to get bad.

But he didn't expect the reaction to be so strong. But it was normal. The financial groups that entered the game were all about profit. Who would do a deal that didn't make a profit or even lost money?

At this moment, a subordinate ran over breathlessly. When she saw Qian Chengxue, she quickly came forward.

"Sister Xue, your phone is off, and I can't get through. I finally found you. Something bad has happened. Dawn City is in chaos. Many casual players are attacking people everywhere,抢夺物资 (qiang duo wu zi) (seizing resources)."

After hearing this, Qian Chengxue was unusually calm, without much surprise.

With the announcement of the Earth Cup, the players in the game would inevitably become polarized. On the one hand, the powerful players would frantically collect resources and recruit personnel in order to dominate. On the other hand, the people who felt hopeless would try to seize resources and equipment as much as possible, quickly sell them off, and exchange them for a pot of gold to leave the game.

After all, the resources and equipment in the game would soon depreciate on a large scale.

ps: Tomorrow, I will resume the bonus updates. Thank you for your support.
