Chapter 1728 1728: Fearless's Thought Process
"Aren't you the one who thinks the trouble isn't big enough? Why sneak into the city?"
After realizing Fearless's intentions, Dawn's First Ray couldn't help but ask.
Fearless replied calmly, "Because even if there's trouble, it needs to be in a useful place."
...
As the capital of the Light faction, Holy Light City is quite far from the capital of the Dark faction, Dark City; the airship flight alone takes nearly two hours.
Although Dawn's First Ray is not short on money, under these circumstances, it shouldn't be the case that the members of the Quan Zhen Sect have to squeeze onto a public bus with him. However, just like Dark City, Holy Light City has energy barriers to prevent the invasion of hostile forces, and teleportation scrolls in these two main cities are subject to special interference.
Following Fearless's instructions, Dawn's First Ray issued the orders, and the group boarded the airship heading for Dark City.
Half an hour after takeoff, players under Dawn's First Ray also followed his orders and boarded airships to various major cities in the Dark faction.
After a long flight, the airship carrying Wang Yu, Dawn's First Ray, and their companions finally landed in Dark City.
Along the way, everyone got to witness the shamelessness of the game company; they claimed it was a seamless map, but it was clearly just a ploy to squeeze more money from players.
Two hours of flight meant two hours of point card consumption. Even if everyone logged off to take a lunch break, as long as the players didn't land, the point cards would still be consumed... This damn Soaring Dragon Game Studios is counting every bit of money; no wonder Boss Ma is one of the wealthiest people in the world.
...
Wang Yu had visited Dark City a long time ago when he was only level twenty; now, he was approaching level seventy. Returning to the old place, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
As for the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect and Dawn's First Ray, it was probably their first time visiting the Dark faction's main base after so long playing the game.
Unlike Holy Light City, which has a grand and magnificent white aesthetic, Dark City is characterized by a singular black tone. The architectural style is somber and serious, giving off a feeling of towering cliffs that are unyielding and strong.
Upon their first visit to Dark City, even the seasoned players of the Quan Zhen Sect couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is Dark City! It looks much more comfortable than Holy Light City."
Indeed, this group with a darker mindset was more suited to the Dark faction.
At this moment, Dawn's First Ray and Fearless felt rather awkward.
In <<Rebirth>>, although faction divisions are clear, the players' factions are not very obvious. Even players from opposing factions, as long as they don't engage in deep conversations, can hardly be identified as enemies. The most intuitive factors for distinguishing factions in daily play are usually profession, attire, and race.
Race is the most straightforward; orcs belong to the Dark faction, while the Tianyu race belongs to the Light faction. However, this has limitations, as both the Tianyu and Orc races were added later, and the main player races remain human.
In terms of attire, the Light faction generally sports flashy and attractive looks, while players from the Dark faction tend to focus on a more imposing appearance, which can be quite terrifying.
As for professions, due to differing beliefs, the priest professions are entirely different: the Light faction has priests and knights, while the Dark faction has witch doctors and punishers.
Wang Yu and his companions are all human, and their outfits are quite casual, making it difficult to identify their faction at a glance. However, Dawn's First Ray and Fearless, being wealthy second-generation players, pay more attention to their image. Coming from Holy Light City, they are wearing the specially made outfit "Radiant Miracle", with their white robes and armor resembling Zhao Zilong. One could only describe it as flashy, almost as if they were ready to announce, "I am a child of the Light."
This immediately attracted the attention of other players in Dark City, who were not very friendly.
What the hell? This is the main base of the Dark faction, and here come the Light faction dogs strolling around, clearly slapping the faces of all the players from the Dark faction.
Although Dawn's First Ray and Fearless are not Wang Yu, they could still sense the killing intent from the surrounding players.
Feeling the stares, the two instinctively reached for their weapons.
Seeing this, Fearless hurried over and whispered, "Are you looking to die? Quickly change your clothes!"
Damn it, just by looking at their outfits, most players couldn't confirm their faction. After all, influenced by certain novels, there are plenty of players who play the fool to deceive others in games. What if they run into someone who ends up causing trouble?
But these two are a priest and a paladin, holding a cross and a staff, respectively. These weapons have class restrictions, so they can't fake their identities. If Dawn's First Ray and Fearless dared to pull out their weapons, they would most likely die on the spot.
Reminded by Fearless, the two quickly snapped back to reality and hurriedly took off their flashy outer garments, changing into more low-key outfits. They left the port with forced smiles, trying to blend in with the crowd.
Once they left the port, Fearless couldn't help but sweat a little.
Well, these two rich kids had basically zero experience in doing bad things; they couldn't even manage such a basic operation as changing their clothes. They almost met an early demise before the mission even started.
Now dressed more inconspicuously, the group easily blended into Dark City.
Following the mission instructions, upon entering Dark City, Wang Yu and the others did not stop but headed straight to their designated destination—the Dark Council.
As compared to Wang Yu's last visit, there hasn't been much change in the Dark Council, but outside its doors, there were players packed in layers.
These players had fierce expressions, clearly seasoned veterans, and their equipment was exceptionally high-quality, indicating they were from major guilds.
Seeing so many people at the entrance of the Dark Council, Dawn's First Ray and Fearless were momentarily stunned, exclaiming, "Whoa, why are there so many people?"
However, in contrast to Dawn's First Ray and Fearless's surprise, there was no trace of shock on the faces of the Quan Zhen members.
"Of course!"
Fearless rolled his eyes and said, "Did you think only your guild had missions? It's obvious these people are here for the same reason as you guys—they've also received a dual mission. Otherwise, why do you think I called all of you here?"
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing Fearless's words, Dawn's First Ray gasped, "Are you planning to wipe out the opposing guild?"
Damn, that's a bold thought.
Seven or eight thousand people may not be a small number, but it's certainly not a lot. Dark City has over a million players and possesses the home turf advantage. For seven or eight thousand people to provoke the capital city, how bold must this guy be?
"You don't understand anything!" Fearless said, looking exasperated. "Understanding the art of war, do you? Fighting is the last resort. We just need to find a quiet place and wait."
"Wait for what?" Dawn's First Ray asked, puzzled.
"Wait for your little brothers!" Fearless replied, speechless.
