Chapter 1623 1623: The Black Dragon Guild?
Even the well-informed Frost Blade had no impression of this guild mentioned by Fearless.
At this point, Fearless was even more puzzled.
Logically speaking, Peerless Heaven is a huge guild; even the most inexperienced players in the game would have heard of it.
To dare to stab a knife in Peerless Heaven's back and even attempt to acquire its mining areas at this time, it must be a top-tier guild. Yet, this guild was completely unknown, which was indeed strange.
Could it be that there is some force backing this guild?
Of course, suggesting that it was a top family or military power would be weird.
Most conflicts in the game are between guilds, arising simply from competing for monsters, land, and equipment. Even if they escalate, they typically only reach the level of disputes between studios.
As for any large families or significant powers, they have better things to do.
What do you mean by large families or significant powers? If they had that much free time, wouldn't they directly go after Soaring Dragon Companyy instead of wasting time in the game fighting with some small studios over profits? That would be lowering their status.
Not to mention those large families or significant powers, even the sponsors behind the major professional teams wouldn't lower their standards to compete with studios for business.
Thus, this so-called Dark Alliance could at most be considered a large studio.
Studios like Quan Zhen Sect have had contact with larger ones, and the studio Fearless remembers most is the Daybreak Studio.
However, although Daybreak Studio is also quite large, and after being wiped out by Evil Rampage, Peerless Heaven took over most of its channels, these guys would be like eggs hitting a stone compared to Peerless Heaven. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lost so miserably in the first place.
Moreover, it is said that after being expelled from <<Rebirth>>, Daybreak Studio has moved its business to other game markets and simply cannot spare any effort. So it's a bit unlikely for them to suddenly appear to oppose Peerless Heaven.
Aside from that, Fearless genuinely couldn't think of any other studio that has the capability or motivation to provoke Peerless Heaven.
Just as Fearless was deep in thought about the origins of this Dark Alliance, Wang Yu, stroking his chin, said, "Could it be some studio or something? Aren't those bastards usually low-key?"
Profit is the only pursuit of studios. As the largest profit recipient in the game, Peerless Heaven being targeted makes perfect sense.
Mu Zi Xian and Wang Yu had both been burned by studios, and Wang Yu has always had a bad impression of such groups. Therefore, whenever studios are mentioned, Wang Yu carries some emotions.
"Don't be silly!"
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Frost Blade couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's obvious you're an outsider. As far as I know, the studios in our country are all small fry except for Old Evil. The studios that have become significant know they can't earn much under Peerless Heaven's pressure and have long since switched games. Who among those rabble would have the guts and power to confront Peerless Heaven head-on?"
"Tch!"
Although Wang Yu knew he wasn't as well-informed as Frost Blade in this area, out of the pride of being from Quan Zhen Sect, he still retorted, "What do you know? Is it only our Brave Continent that has studios?"
"This..."
Once Wang Yu said this, Frost Blade was left speechless, a black line appearing on his forehead. "Studios also have saturation levels. Those foreign studios make enough money on their own turf; why would they come all the way to our national server to stir up trouble? If they had that time, they might as well sell more stuff."
"That's not for certain. What if they can't make money? Wouldn't they come here to earn some extra cash…"
Wang Yu insisted stubbornly.
"Eh?"
The so-called 'the speaker has no intent, but the listener has a mind.'
Wang Yu was indeed an outsider; although his words were reasonable, they were still outsider opinions. The others just laughed at him as a game newbie. However, when Fearless heard Wang Yu and Frost Blade, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Frost Blade, "By the way, are there any foreign studios with a scale similar to Peerless Heaven?"
"Fearless, you're not a game newbie; you can't possibly take Old Bull's words seriously."
Fearless's question surprised Frost Blade greatly.
As Frost Blade said, competition among studios isn't fierce; they all mind their own business, and with the money they can make in their own territories, who would go through the hassle of looking for trouble elsewhere? Time is money; with that effort, they might as well sell more things.
"Stop talking nonsense; just say yes or no." Fearless waved his hand, interrupting Frost Blade, and then asked seriously.
"Well..." Frost Blade thought for a moment and said, "There really isn't a studio as big as Old Evil, but there are some that are slightly smaller."
"Oh? What are their names?" Fearless continued to ask.
"I know of only three: one is 'Royal Glory' from the EU server, another is 'The Brotherhood' from the US server, and the last one is 'Black Dragon Guild' from the Japanese server. However, the Black Dragon Guild's current nature isn't really a studio; at most, it's considered a larger guild..."
"Good, that's it."
Before Frost Blade could finish, Fearless suddenly interrupted, "This Black Dragon Guild should be the so-called Dark Alliance."
"Black Dragon Guild???"
Everyone froze at his words and asked, "How are you so sure?"
There are countless studios in the world, and furthermore, this matter isn't necessarily the doing of a studio. Fearless was so certain in placing the blame on the Black Dragon Guild, which truly left people puzzled.
"Hehe!!"
Fearless chuckled and said, "Isn't it obvious that you all can't see it?"
I have to say, Fearless has no qualms about mocking others. At this moment, he was filled with contempt for everyone else's intelligence.
"Look at you; where's it obvious?"
Faced with Fearless's arrogance, everyone raised their middle fingers.
Clearly, this reaction from the others not only didn't scare Fearless but rather pleased him. This guy loved seeing others in such a state.
Only when he saw Wang Yu rolling up his sleeves did Fearless finally put away his insufferable grin and said, "Actually, there are three reasons!"
"Oh? What are the three reasons?" Wang Yu leaned in, intrigued.
"First, the Black Dragon Guild is quite large!" Fearless stated.
"Of course! There are other guilds of this size besides the Black Dragon Guild." Frost Blade shouted.
"Let me finish!" Fearless shot Frost Blade a glare and continued, "Second, Peerless Heaven has developed mining areas that the Black Dragon Guild cannot access, which gives the Black Dragon Guild motivation from certain perspectives."
"This..." Evil Rampage was a bit embarrassed and said, "If that's the case, there are probably countless guilds with motivation."
"That's why the third point is the most crucial." Fearless added.
