Chapter 162 - 111: City-Wide Shock, Heads Held High, Still No. 1

"Ugh~, the bricks in this city are uneven. Nope, nope, that’s just not aesthetically pleasing!"

"Ah! Half the buildings are actually destroyed? What a shame!"

"Oh dear~~, our city is just a ’small’ one. There’s no comparison, let’s not even bother..."

"A small city! Lame. So what if we captured it? All it means is that monsters won’t be spawning all over the place anymore..."

On the Forum, an endless stream of salty comments, clearly from the citizens of Qing City, kept popping up. The more others had previously mocked the citizens of Qing City, the more vicious their current salty and sarcastic comments became.

"Qing City’s number one! The Immortal Emperor is trash!"

"Qing City’s number one! Huang Yi is trash!"

"Qing City’s number one! The rest of you are all trash!!"

The reason Gun’Er handed the phone to Shen Fei was because some of Qing City’s citizens had started stirring up hatred. There are bad people in any crowd. Leveraging the victory at Peter’s Castle, these people were now posting all sorts of hostile messages.

The majority of citizens were just being a little salty, gloating and letting off some steam. But some bad apples were intentionally posting comments designed to sow discord. They were using Qing City’s success as a pretext to insult the teams from other cities, and their language was vicious and vile.

When Sun Yu saw what was happening, he noticed in a chat group that Shen Fei was in Yang City, so he sent the information to Gun’Er, who was also there.

"Deal with them," Shen Fei ordered immediately, upon seeing the accounts that were obviously engaged in sophisticated trolling. "Make a list of these people! At the same time, issue a public announcement and also post a strategy guide!"

It’s one thing to gloat a little, but you can’t just go around making enemies indiscriminately.

The battles for the Neutral Cities had, after all, resulted in massive casualties. Qing City had Defense Towers from Shen Fei and a group of other Tower Masters, so its people didn’t have to fight on the front lines and suffered almost no casualties. But players from other cities who weren’t Tower Masters had to fight on the front lines themselves. This inevitably meant their casualty rates were much higher. Although recovery from injuries was much faster than before due to certain special healing skills, death was, for now, irreversible.

Shen Fei definitely didn’t want to attract the hatred of those cities that had suffered such massive casualties... That would be too classless. And too stupid!

More importantly, the cities Qing City had occupied were not limited to just one; there were even more, larger ones hidden in the mist.

The battle at the Heaven-Reaching Tower had captured most people’s attention. Furthermore, it was only just dawn, and Shen Fei had manipulated the mist to shroud the area not long after the Neutral Cities descended. But eventually, these eight cities were bound to be revealed. Even though Shen Fei had shrouded them in mist, some people had still seen them. While not many people had seen them, it didn’t mean there were no witnesses. In fact, photos of the other eight cities were already on the internet. But due to low viewership, those posts were quickly buried. Still, their full exposure was only a matter of time.

Shen Fei didn’t want the citizens of other cities to resent Qing City because of this. As people inherited more game abilities, all sorts of strange and bizarre powers would appear. In the future, the various inherited items would inevitably need to be circulated and traded. He didn’t want traders from Qing City to be shunned by people from other cities over something so trivial... After a certain game update, all occupied Neutral Cities would be able to build ultra-long-range Teleportation Arrays. Shen Fei didn’t want Qing City to end up isolated...

[NO. 1, Qing City, Small City [Peter’s Castle] Occupation Complete!]

[NO. 2, Divine Capital, Medium City [Lan Ling], in Second Stage defense, remaining wall HP: 53%;]

[NO. 3, Songhai City, Large City [Ye City], in Second Stage defense, wall destroyed, 40% of city area lost, street-to-street fighting in progress...]

After receiving his orders, Gun’Er quickly went to track down and identify the troublemaking citizens from Qing City.

Shen Fei, phone in hand, looked again at the most popular thread tracking the city occupation progress...
