Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Novel - Chapter 1103
1103 Bad News
How could they still get the magic cores when 20 of them had been used up? This wasn’t a joke!
Duan Chengbin was anxious. He stood up from his chair with a ‘swoosh’ and kept walking in circles in the room.
What to do?
Was there any way to solve this predicament?
!!
Eh?
Suddenly, Duan Chengbin thought of something. He could not help but stop in his tracks, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Prilla Gaming Guild!
With the necromancer incident, the most his guild could do was delay the construction of the mage tower.
In terms of losses, the Prilla Gaming Guild should be the one that suffered the most, right?
They would definitely not surrender without a fight.
He would just let them charge at the front and fight with the necromancer.
His own small guild would just watch from behind.
After figuring this out, Duan Chengbin was no longer so anxious.
Even if the sky collapsed, there would be a bigger one to hold it up.
He might even be able to get a share of the soup if he crushed the bigger one.
…
Prilla Gaming Guild was widely recognized as the number one gaming guild in the barbarian world. More than 80% of its players learned magic-type academic skills.
In fact, in all of the intermediate game worlds, the Prilla Gaming Guild could be ranked at the top.
In the real world, most of the players of the Prilla Gaming Guild were gathered in the Northern Federation, and there were also guild buildings in the city.
The Prilla Gaming Guild had a close working relationship with the Northern Federation.
The guild had always been ambitious and wanted to expand its influence to the entire barbarian world.
It was noon, and the atmosphere within the Prilla Gaming Guild was a little heavy.
The sudden appearance of a necromancer was extremely bad news to them.
The relationship between the Prilla Gaming Guild, the Empire’s royal family, and the various feudal lords was pretty good. They also cooperated with each other, and even the guild leader himself was a feudal lord.
With the guild’s strength, the guild would undertake the construction and subsequent maintenance of mage towers from various major construction companies. Every year, the guild would be able to gather a lot of resources from the feudal lords and the Empire.
In the guild’s plan, they would gradually expand the influence of the guild in the mage world through the mage tower, and even gradually influence the entire Mage Association, until they finally controlled the Empire’s royal family!
The ownership of the mage tower was a very important part of their plan.
Now, Fang Heng’s appearance had disrupted their plan.
After the news of the mysterious necromancer accepting a commission to build a mage tower spread, the Prilla Gaming Guild immediately launched an investigation.
Mysterious!
The background investigation of necromancer Fang Heng could only be described as ‘mysterious’.
“The investigation was very difficult, and there was very little information available. Her Highness Mingyue has rarely appeared in public, and this is the first time she has appeared in public as a member of the royal family. In addition, Her Highness does not have any territory of the Empire.”
“As for necromancer Fang Heng, we haven’t found anything yet. There are rumors that he came from the Land of Plague and is the new feudal lord of the Land of Plague. He is also very powerful.”
Everyone in the guild listened to the investigation report and pondered.
“After His Majesty was seriously ill, Tang Mingyue suddenly began to take action. Is there any connection between the two?”
“I’m not sure. Whether it’s qualifications, power, background, identity, or personal strength and charm, Tang Mingyue doesn’t meet the conditions to inherit the royal family. This matter should have nothing to do with the competition for the successor of the royal family.”
“Have you found out the source of their financial support?” asked Ed, the leader of the guild.
“It’s strange. The royal family’s financial situation hasn’t been very good in recent years, and they haven’t been very generous with the maintenance fees they promised us each year. So, I think this money doesn’t come from the Empire.”
“If it’s not the Empire, where is it from?”
“Which family can take out so much money at once? To build 20 mage towers at one go? And in just a week?”
In the hall, the guild players were confused.
“In addition, the construction period of the mage tower is only a short week. In theory, whether it’s time, money, or even the magic cores necessary for the construction of the mage tower, necromancer Fang Heng can’t complete the construction of the mage tower in a week.”
The players looked at each other.
Everyone had the same thought.
Scammers?
But the Empire’s royal family vouched for the scammers?
Her Highness Mingyue was also deceived?
Alright, even if they were scammers, what were they trying to scam?
The construction materials provided by the feudal lords would be stored in the Empire military warehouse, and the funds would be handed over to the royal family. When they were used, the Mage Association would be a third party to oversee them.
Everyone racked their brains, but they still didn’t know what the person behind the scenes wanted to deceive.
Could it be that he wanted to use this to raise the price of materials?
There seemed to be a slight possibility that they could investigate in this direction.
Ed picked up the readings on the table and read them.
The Four Seas Trading Company would be in charge of the supplies this time.
The Four Seas Trading Company was a large chamber of commerce. Perhaps they would know something?
President Ed had always been a very suspicious person.
Without knowing the other party’s purpose, he felt uneasy to make a move.
“President, many feudal lords who are interested in working with us to build mage towers are preparing to renew their contracts with the necromancer. We’ve tried our best to appease them, but the other party’s prices are too favorable.”
Ed’s headache was getting worse.
The subordinate continued, “Also, President, there are two other feudal lords who want to terminate the cooperation with us to build the mage tower. They think that the annual maintenance fee of our mage tower is too expensive. I heard that the necromancer provides follow-up maintenance insurance for free. They want to stop the use of the mage tower in the territory and find the necromancer to build a new one. It will cost a little more initially, but the subsequent maintenance fees can be waived…”
This…
Upon hearing this, Ed was at a loss.
In order to save on the maintenance costs of the mage tower, they would stop using the old mage tower and replace it with a new one?
This kind of thing could happen?
Ed rubbed his swollen temples.
After all, the necromancer only required them to pay 5% to build a mage tower. It was possible that such a ridiculous thing was possible.
Suddenly, a line of game notifications appeared on the retinas of the players in the meeting room.
[Hint: You have triggered the hostile mission-suspicious necromancer.]
Mission title: Suspicious necromancer.
Mission difficulty: Unknown.
Mission requirement: The unexpected appearance of the feudal lord of the Land of Plague, Fang Heng, has caused quite a stir in the Empire. He is signing contracts with various feudal lords of the Empire to build mage towers. You may think that this is a huge scam. Please try to expose Fang Heng’s scam or break the contracts between Fang Heng and the major feudal lords.
Mission reward: Random A+ level team reward. Guild’s friendship with various empires will increase.
Mission time limit: 24 hours.
All the players looked at each other when they saw the sudden mission.
Hostile mission!
The situation was gotten worse!
Hostile missions meant that it was a mission between players.
This meant that there was a high probability of a player making a move behind necromancer Fang Heng!
