Duan Xing sat on a twisted dead tree, gazing at the distant group of players fighting each other, his heart filled with confusion.
These past days, he had discovered that this group of mysterious creatures possessed the special ability to switch into Monster Forms for combat.
Though their bodies were frail, their abilities were not weak.
But he could never understand the behavioral logic of these mysterious creatures.
Observations revealed that these mysterious beings often gathered together, scouring the hills and fields in
His Battle Axe, when striking a target, comes with effects such as armor-piercing, damage amplification, and spiritual shock; its lethality is astonishing.
Under Li Tie’s assault, the Divine Wings Guild faced a one-sided defeat.
The battle continued for over an hour until it culminated with a disastrous defeat for the Divine Wings Guild.
But this didn’t mean that the animosity had disappeared; all the onlookers understood that these two guilds had thoroughly established enmity.
In the future, when players from both sides meet outside, a fight is inevitable.
As the speculating bystanders predicted, members of the Divine Wings Guild gradually logged in an hour later, but they did not initiate revenge right away. Instead, they opted to spam the regional voice channel to buy sacrificial power.
It was clear that they intended to boost their combat capabilities before clashing with the Drunken Guild again.
This action caused the price of sacrificial power to spike again.
The president of the Divine Wings Guild offered a purchase rate of 200:1 for sacrificial power and stated that players willing to sell large quantities could negotiate even higher prices.
This behavior sent the Working Party players into frenzy, as it meant that their real-world earnings from killing the same monsters increased.
Regarding the discord between the two major guilds, the audience expressed their support.

Qi Sheng, who silently observed the confrontation between the two guilds, was naturally aware of what was happening.
Regarding this, he had no intention of intervening.
Before crossing into this world and inheriting the Emperor’s Signal Origin, he too was a passionate gamer, a faithful player.
In the initial creation of the Challenger System, he had pondered over player competition.
In MMORPGs, there are many factors that inspire a desire for power growth among players; player conflict and competition being major ones.
Many games, to force players to spend money, will intentionally designate certain resources that need to be contested to incite conflicts between players.
Some game companies even hire "shills" to stir up trouble or join different in-game guilds, sparking fierce confrontations between players to increase their desire to pay for power.
From a growth perspective, the motivational nature of competition far outweighs the losses from internal friction.
As pressures from external forces like the Black Tide Army loom, players from the same faction will inevitably opt to cooperate.
