Poverty makes me capable of anything.

They were kicked out of the Grand Council and became a string of astronomical figures on the bounty list.

But that's all.

It's impossible for the Eternal Star Path to actually hunt them down.

Otherwise, neither Sawyer nor the Lord of the Night would have had a chance to escape.

"That's quite a skillful compromise."

Vesta squinted upon receiving the message.

What appeared before his eyes was a three-dimensional model of Anran.

He was now increasingly convinced that there was something on An Ran's head.

"The God of Myriad Machines?"

Looks like I need to gather more intelligence.

……

The Exiled Empire Standard Time is 3 PM.

For the first time, the carbonated beverage, which had been quietly waiting at the command room door for the Nth time, received a positive response from the War Court.

"Please come with me to the reception room."

"That's what the mechanical sentry at the gate said."

The carbonated beverage nodded.

This specification seems a bit high.

Could it be that things took a turn for the better during these few days of waiting?

He followed the mechanical sentry into the reception room, bewildered.

There was already someone waiting there.

"H... Heda!"

The carbonated beverage stared wide-eyed.

He never expected that the leader of the opposing camp would appear here.

It’s over.

He's fallen into a wolf's den.

If he angers Heda, and Heda takes it out on him directly, then he'll really be in trouble.

Just as the carbonated beverage was feeling uneasy, Heda suddenly spoke up: "I'm aware of what's happened recently. After discussing it with Anran, I had the enforcement department withdraw all the penalties."

"what?"

The carbonated beverage was taken aback.

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"That's all I have to say. As for the rest, let Anran tell you herself."

Heda impatiently began to shoo people out.

Ah, but I still don't understand what happened.

The carbonated beverage was completely bewildered as it was carried away by the mechanical sentry.

At the door, he encountered the furtive "Paper Short, Love Long".

"What are you doing here?" the carbonated beverage asked.

"Um..." Zhi Duan Qing Chang quickly explained, "I saw you being asked to go inside, President, and I was a little worried, so I waited outside. President, what happened?"

The carbonated beverage nodded and laughed loudly, "I see. Don't worry, it's good news. Haha, Heda has lifted the punishment on our side, and I heard Anran will be looking for us later."

"what?"

The paper was short but the sentiment was deep, and I was stunned.

and many more.

What's the situation?

Did he mishear, or did Hedda lose her mind?

He wanted to say something more, but the message was too short, when he suddenly received a private message.

The message arrived quickly, accompanied by continuous vibration alerts.

Left with no other choice, and knowing that words cannot express our feelings, we had to open the private message panel.

His eyes welled up with tears after just one glance.

[Sawyer has been kicked out of Eternal Star Road and branded a traitor; our camp is about to disband.]

Gan!

This is this...

Words fail me, though the message is brief.

"Hey, are you alright?" Carbonated Drink asked hurriedly.

Despite the limited space, I mustered my spirits and said, "I'm just happy!"

Chapter 91: Thinking Has Been Elevated

It seems that the pressure from the Heda camp has been too great recently.

Seeing the short but poignant message on the paper, which alternated between tears and laughter, Carbonated Drink couldn't help but shake its head.

Being addicted to games is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, he patted Zhiduanqingchang on the shoulder: "Relax, if you really can't take it, just log off and rest for a while. Don't ruin your health."

"..."

The paper is short, but the sentiment is deep; I look up at the carbonated beverage.

A little stunned?

Is this... showing concern for his subordinates?

To be honest, even though Carbonated Drinks was the leader of a rival guild, he had to admit that the guy was indeed a charismatic leader.

"Haha."

He laughed loudly, waving his hand as he walked away.

"I won't stay here with you any longer. I need to spread this good news. Maybe Anran will come back sometime soon."

Soon the carbonated drink disappeared from sight.

All that remains is a short note expressing deep feelings, standing still in the same place.

He stared at the private messages for a long time, and finally threw a heavy punch.

Gan.

Since staying here is pointless for the time being, and might even expose me due to unusual emotions, I might as well log off.

A moment later, the figure, whose words conveyed deep affection, disappeared outside the command post.

……

The carbonated beverage is now preoccupied with what Heda said—

A settlement has been reached, and the punishment has been lifted!

This is a rare piece of good news in the past two weeks.

Therefore, after getting away from the command post, Carbonated Drink quickly opened the guild channel, edited what Heda said, and set it as the pinned message.

Before long, the news spread throughout the entire Mechanicus faction.

The news also reached the ears of players in the Heda faction.

What? The punishment for the Mechanicus is to be lifted?

Where did you hear this news from?

The Cult of Machines

Are you kidding me? You actually believe what the Mechanicus cult says?

Just as the players in the Heda faction were expressing disbelief, they suddenly received a message from Freya.

Freya always worked alongside Heda, so you could say she was Heda's spokesperson.

[Should an emergency meeting be convened?]

Did you receive it too?

That's right.

When the player representatives from the Heda faction went to attend the virtual meeting hosted by Freya with trepidation.

They did indeed hear Freya say:

"From this moment forward, any conflict with the Cult of Machines is strictly prohibited!"

"Furthermore, the penalties imposed on both parties will be rescinded. If anyone dares to commit the offense again, they can expect to be dismissed immediately."

Freya coldly swept her gaze over everyone in the conference room.

Before coming, she did some research and found that most of the conflicts between the two sides were caused by players on her side.

This made her feel completely ashamed in front of Heda, as she was the one who usually managed the players.

After the initial bewilderment, a player in the audience immediately shouted, "Manager Freya, I completely don't understand!"

"That's right, we don't accept that this was forced down by the War Court!"

If we miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to suppress the Cult of the Machine God again.
