Shen Xixi also chose Western Cultural History, but she did not come to class. In fact, she did not show up at school all day, but now many people have become accustomed to it. The boys talked about this former department beauty, There will be a look of regret on their faces, while most of the girls are disdainful.
Even two of the three people in their dormitory have already drawn a clear line with Shen Xixi. The remaining Wei Jiangyang's girlfriend Han Xiaoxiao is still struggling. She and Shen Xixi have a close relationship, and they have also tactfully persuaded Shen Xixi. In her opinion, the latter's family background is already very good. Although she is not the daughter of a wealthy CEO, compared to most girls from working-class backgrounds, even if they do nothing in the future, at least they will not have to worry about food and clothing.
Logically speaking, there is no reason for her to choose this path, not to mention that she is not a vain person.
However, neither those who care about Shen Xixi nor those who are gloating about her misfortune obviously don't know the real situation she is facing now.
The temporary meeting of the consortium has been going on all day and all night. In fact, the discussion was completed in the first hour. However, Shen Xixi, the founder of the consortium, never nodded. This is why the consortium has delayed until now. The reason for the arc's reply.
The Arc of Light only gave them one day to make a decision in the ultimatum, which is until 0 o'clock tonight. If the alliance does not surrender by then, the two sides will have no choice but to go to war.
This result is unbearable for the consortium.
It’s not like the people in the conference room didn’t know that the cooperation framework that the consortium had worked so hard to build would probably fall apart once it was handed over to others. If you hand over to someone else today, you might hand over to yourself tomorrow, but even if you have to pay for tomorrow, Worry, at least you have to survive today first.
The president of a medium-sized guild was still making a last-ditch effort and advised, "I know you are not willing to give in, and neither of us are willing to give in. Making friends is a huge blow to the union, and it will also affect your prestige, but here we are. Everyone knows the difficulties, and we can guarantee that this position will still be yours in the future."
"Prestige? You misunderstood. I don't care who is the boss of the alliance. We are not a guild. Who is the president is not that important at all." Shen Xixi shook his head and said, "But it is impossible to make friends. If we put If people are handed over, the arc will definitely kill them, so this matter will be completely confirmed."
"But we can't protect them if we don't hand it over." Someone immediately retorted, "Although we don't suffer in terms of numbers, the player strength is far behind top guilds like Light Arc. Their current membership standard is to have at least passed There are five rounds of the game, and the guild has more than ten B-level props in hand. The average level of players here is only three rounds, which is not even close to others’ bottom line. Moreover, there are only four B-level props, and most of them are non- Fighting type.”
"Light Arc is not the only top guild." Shen Xixi said, "If the price we have to pay is too high, Light Arc will also have to consider whether the balance with Silver Wings and Player Home is still possible. Maintain. ”
"Then how much price do we have to pay?" The president of a small guild finally said what most people were thinking.
The composition of the alliance is inherently complex. There are small and medium-sized guilds and independent player teams. Normally there is no problem in cooperating with each other, but when danger really occurs, it is very difficult for these people who do not have much friendship to fight together.
Now that the words have been said here, the disguise has been completely torn away. The president of the medium-sized guild who spoke before continued, "The original agreement between us was only to deal with the monsters in the city, and it did not include the arc of light. Such a war between big guilds.”
Shen Xixi frowned and was about to say something, but the next moment the door to the conference room was knocked open.
Li Bai, who was still covered in blood, and Rabbit, who was holding a magic stick in his mouth, walked in from the outside. There were three people in custody in front of them.
Li Bai chuckled, "These bastards wanted to rob someone directly, but we caught them."
Rabbit added later, "They are people from the realm, and there are two injured unlucky people who were sent directly to the hospital by Li Bai."
Shen Xixi turned her attention to a middle-aged man not far away who had not spoken much and seemed to be gentle. The latter was the president of the cordon. He did not avoid her gaze. He pushed up his glasses and admitted generously, "Right now At this juncture, some things must be done by someone, and since you are unwilling to do it, we can only do it."
"We haven't discussed the results yet." Shen Xixi said.
"I don't even know what the point of continuing the discussion is." The middle-aged man said, "If you don't surrender people, then there will be no need for the alliance to continue to exist."
"Is this a threat?" Shen Xixi glanced at everyone sitting in the conference room.
The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocating, but no one refuted, obviously acquiescing to this statement.
"So, is this the justice you are looking for?" Shen Xixi's heart sank, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to awaken the conscience in her master's heart through questioning.
However, after a while, the oldest man here and one of the representatives of independent players named Xifeng spoke slowly.
"Politics has never been about justice."
…………
There are less than three hours left before the time limit set out in the Arc of Light ultimatum.
There is still not much movement on the consortium side, but the player forum is becoming more and more lively. People onlookers are posting to speculate on Shen Xixi's choice. Some people are betting on this. Judging from the handicap, most of them Everyone believed that Shen Xixi would make friends, it was just a matter of time.
Prolonging the delay will at least allow the coalition to show some resistance, which may also slightly reduce the negative impact of surrender.
The mainstream public opinion on the forum has basically reached a consensus on this issue, and this is also a choice that any rational person should make.
After all, Arc of Light does not really intend to destroy the alliance. At best, it is just because the recent rapid rise of the alliance has made the three major guilds wary, and they want to take this opportunity to limit the development of the latter.
Making friends, reducing the internal cohesion of the alliance, allowing the alliance to continue to maintain its current loose structure, and preventing Shen Xixi from integrating it into an emerging powerful force, should be a result acceptable to both parties.
However, at 11:12 p.m., the medium-sized guild Realm Line issued an announcement on the forum, reviewing a good time in the past, reaffirming its respect for the consortium led by Shen Xixi, and also stating that the choice was due to differences in development concepts between the two parties. Break up amicably and look to the possibilities for the future.
As soon as this post was posted, before the melon-eating party had time to happily eat melon together, a second post was posted soon, and then the third, fourth... all from the player guilds within the consortium or independent player groups , people with a sensitive enough sense of smell have already noticed something from it.
In recent times, the most popular emerging power alliance in the capital was about to collapse overnight without any warning.
