Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Gray straightened up: "I might be transferred to the research institute in the new city in a while."

"Isn't this a good thing?" An Ran said in surprise.

Transferring him to the powerful headquarters, although it's unlikely he'll hold a high-ranking position at his age, is still a form of recognition from the scientific community.

At No. 1886, the New City Research Institute became a mecca for engineering.

“The higher-ups might appoint Morton as acting director temporarily,” Gray continued.

"..."

Morton, that very young researcher?

Gray said quietly, "For me, taking a break from my responsibilities and going to the research institute might be a good thing, but for you, it's hard to say."

"What do you mean?"

“Morton knows that you gave me these blueprints. He is very talented, but he is too impatient and likes to take shortcuts.”

Having said all that, An Ran immediately understood.

Morton took a liking to her drawings.

In reality, An Ran could simply leave, but it would be difficult to find such a good workshop again in Twin Moon City.

It is indeed a troublesome matter.

"Thank you."

Anran was still grateful for Gray's reminder.

“I know you are now under Jiuge, but Morton also has a powerful background. His uncle is the vice mayor of Shuangyue City in charge of finance, and he is a powerful figure.”

"Oh."

That would be even more troublesome.

An Ran scratched her hair.

The complex relationships are something you can't avoid no matter where you go.

However, Night of the Stars is ultimately a world where might makes right.

……

Leaving the R&D center, Anran strolled leisurely down the street.

She opened the forum and browsed through it.

Suddenly I came across an interesting post.

Zone No. 1886.

[A letter to player number 1886].

Chapter 72 A Letter to Player No. 1886

[A letter to player number 1886].

The most popular post in Forum No. 1886.

Floors 16, 8, and 9.

The poster's ID is 【西楼·末日之主】, and it is not an official post.

"What a cringeworthy name."

Anran made a complaint and then clicked on the post.

These popular posts, which aren't just about sharing "beautiful women" or "handsome men" NPCs, generally contain some information worth reading.

As players gradually begin to play important roles within their factions, the more important the information they come into contact with, the greater their chances of safely obtaining crucial information.

"Hello everyone, I am the guild leader of the West Tower Guild, [Lord of the Apocalypse]."

It turns out to be a player guild.

The official guild function has not yet been enabled, but many established guilds have already entered the game to start exploring new content.

Compared to solo players, guilds are more purposeful in their actions. With their large numbers, they are often able to seize the best resources in the game.

The conflict between guilds is also an essential part of the game.

After introducing himself, Xilou, the Lord of Doomsday, began to express his views.

An Ran quickly scanned it and found it to be a very interesting thing.

The matter originated from a feud between two major guilds.

The [West Tower] guild and the [San Diego] guild, who have a history of feuds in multiple games, have, unfortunately, ended up on the same newbie planet with most of their members.

Both are located on the Canyonlands continent in the Northern Hemisphere, in 1886. Although they are thousands of kilometers apart, distance is not an obstacle for them to hurl insults at each other.

If swearing and giving the middle finger were just appetizers to express "fuck you," then after the faction system was officially launched, stabbing each other in the back was the real development of "fuck you."

[West Tower] has joined the Empire side.

[San Diego] has added the Morning Star side.

Because of some faction missions, the two sides went from insulting each other on the forums to fighting in the jungle, using all sorts of methods.

While Morningstar was making great strides recently, the West Tower guild, which belonged to the Empire faction, was having a tough time and was heavily mocked by the Santiago guild.

This time, after a long period of preparation, the counterattack from the [West Tower] guild has arrived.

If the physical approach won't work for now, let's try the more intellectual one!

The pen strokes are sharp as knives!

Scholars can also kill enemies!

War correspondents are the best!

This is Anran's summary after reading the post.

Most players share her opinion.

【Lord of the Apocalypse】directly denounced Morningstar's various atrocities in the post, expressing his feelings and posting the information he had collected from various places one by one, including some short films that Zhou Jieyu had filmed during the Twin Moon City War.

"I have obtained the photographer's consent!"

This fully demonstrates Morningstar's ruthless and unscrupulous nature in pursuing his own goals and his killing of civilians.

"This is not a legitimate resistance group at all; it's more like a bunch of thugs. The official creation of such a faction is extremely malicious. Although this is just a game, we should still loudly say no to this kind of organization!"

"..."

"..."

The post by the Lord of Doom, which was 1324 words long, resonated with many players.

Many players don't have a clear goal when they first enter the game. They don't care which faction to join, as long as they can complete the quests.

However, the post revealing the truth by the Lord of Doom caused the balance to shift for these players.

You can join either camp, but you're probably more likely to be accepted by the less evil side.

The purpose of the Doom Lord's post was to reduce the number of players in the Morning Star faction as much as possible.

This is a disguised weakening of the Morningstar faction; weakening Morningstar is also weakening the [San Diego] guild.

Seeing the flood of replies, the Lord of Doom laughed like a pig.

"Hahaha……"

This is an article he specifically paid a ghostwriter to polish, and its writing skills should not be underestimated.

"This money was well spent!"

"You're no match for me, you fertilizer seller!"

The Lord of Doomsday laughs heartily.

Upon receiving the news, the [San Diego] guild immediately organized a group to come and hurl insults.

However, no matter how furiously they raged, it all seemed too pale and powerless in the face of more than a dozen videos serving as evidence.

The evidence is irrefutable and cannot be erased!

"Damn it, that damn Doomsday guy, he's got a really black heart!"

The guild leader of the [San Diego] guild, Tyru, slammed his fist on the table in exasperation.

"In short, the work of the online army cannot stop. Also, you guys should quickly compile a detailed strategy guide for the Morning Star side and send it out. After all, this is a game, and having this will more or less help to salvage some popularity."

Tailu pondered for a moment: "That crude fellow Doomsday certainly couldn't write such an article. Since you've invited a top writer, I'll invite one too."

[Illusion or Reality?]

Telu intends to retaliate on this topic.

He scratched his short, blond hair in frustration. He wasn't short of money; after all, his family was a fertilizer tycoon.

The gunmen they hired are definitely top-notch, but Morningstar is at a disadvantage in this matter. Hopefully, they can stall for time and distract the players.

……

"That's some really outrageous stuff."

"A refreshing gameplay experience; there are true heroes among the players!"

"It's a pity I can't post, otherwise I would definitely give the Lord of Doomsday a thumbs up."

The gloom brought on by Gray's news was immediately swept away.

Compared to Morningstar, Morton is just a junior.

The Lord of Doom's post will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Morning Star faction in a short time, which is perfect for Anran, who has made eliminating the Morning Star his main mission.

What is the most terrifying group in the world?

It's definitely not those bosses standing at the top of the world, or the rulers of some huge power, but rather a group of players who are gradually beginning to show their fangs.

There are no bosses in online games that players can't defeat.
