Chapter 1585 So you weren't wronged after all.
After a brief silence, a sudden sound came from the ground.
"I fully support Grandmaster's decision!"
Xi Chen, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, scrambled to his feet, and spoke respectfully.
“I’ve been worried all along… because Lord Nioh has important matters to attend to, and organizations like the Raiders and many players with ulterior motives are secretly stirring up trouble… At this critical juncture, our Players’ Mutual Aid Association has inexplicably lost many skilled players and suffered significant losses in core members,” Xi Chen said with a heavy heart. “And at this moment, Order has also undergone personnel changes, which is why I’m worried and why I’m considering some extraordinary measures to control the situation…”
At this point, Xi Chen's expression suddenly changed, becoming resolute and unwavering.
"But thankfully, it's you, 'Grandmaster,' who's here—with you here, there's nothing to worry about!"
Behind Xi Chen, his campaign supporters quickly spoke up.
"That's right—with the arrival of the Grandmaster, the heavens will be clear!"
Almost instantly, the trend and direction of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" changed.
Especially those who led the cheering and supporting the Grandmaster... even the first one to jump out and the most arrogant one, 'Xi Chen'.
Standing straight behind Gu Mo, pretending to be there to support her but actually just taking advantage of her and being a bystander, "Liang Ye" couldn't help but turn to ask Lin Yu, who was calmly watching the show.
"What the hell... what the hell is going on?"
Liang Ye asked in a low voice.
Lin Yu looked at Liang Ye, raised an eyebrow and replied, "Are you surprised that the reputation of 'Grandmaster' is enough to make them change their stance instantly and be opportunistic?"
"Put yourself in their shoes... If you were a member of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association,' would you be willing to go head-to-head with a 'Grandmaster'?"
Liang Ye said helplessly, "Of course I don't think it's strange that Xiba and the others changed their attitude towards Xiba... I'm just curious..."
Liang Ye gestured with his eyes in Xi Chen's direction, then said, "I'm just curious—why is it that the kid who was shouting the loudest and most arrogant just now now acting like he's the most loyal to me!"
Lin Yu remained calm and unsurprised as he spoke: "Well... those who believe in and practice 'quick victory' are often the type most likely to turn into complete capitulationists."
Liang Ye was somewhat shocked by Lin Yu's words, but then she realized what he meant.
"Damn... What a profound and insightful statement! How did you come to that conclusion? You're such a genius!"
Lin Yu patted Liang Ye: "This is not something I figured out... Although I've forgotten where I saw it, it seems to be a common understanding summarized by history enthusiasts—read more history, history is profound and extensive."
After thinking for half a second, Liang Ye said, "It's because your Chinese history is so profound... We can't summarize such profound truths from the history of the Western powers on our peninsula, which is full of surrender factions."
Lin Yu looked at Liang Ye and said with a smile, "Seriously, you should post some short videos... People really enjoy listening to foreigners talk about these things on short video apps."
Liang Ye shook his head: "Damn it, what you're talking about is all from the old version—besides, if I were to do something like that, I'd have to switch accounts every time I like or watch short videos, which is too much trouble."
Liang Ye politely declined Lin Yu's suggestion, which wasn't particularly serious to begin with, and then added.
"However... in any case, it's great that Comrade Xiba 'Grandmaster' is here to keep things in order. We shouldn't have to worry too much about Xiba here."
"No matter what the 'Raiders' and 'Psychological Society' of Xiba are planning in Xiba, with the 'Grandmaster' of Xiba around, the sky won't fall down!"
Liang Ye said optimistically.
Lin Yu shook his head instead: "No... Although the presence of 'Grandmaster' has indeed reduced a lot of trouble for us, it is far from enough to make us feel at ease."
Liang Ye was shocked: "What the hell do you mean?"
Lin Yu looked at Liang Ye: "We need to be prepared for a 'Grandmaster' level guy, or even several of them, to get involved here in the next few days."
Liang Ye was stunned: "What... what's going on?"
“That’s exactly what I’m talking about,” Lin Yu said in a low voice. “During the trial, I encountered not only gods, not only high-ranking beings from the Ten Realms.”
"The troublesome guy among the 'players'... the second generation 'Freud' has also gotten involved in this matter."
"Although the 'diviners' didn't come in person, I have reason to believe they were involved...and they will definitely continue to come to Shenzhen."
“And even if I’m not here… the importance that the ‘Raiders’ and the ‘Psychological Society’ attach to this ‘Player Mutual Aid Association’ election far exceeds your imagination, Captain Liangye.”
"In fact, the fact that Comrade 'Grandmaster' would come here is already a 'result'!"
As Lin Yu spoke, Liang Ye showed a somewhat pained expression on his face.
"Damn it... I know this operation is not simple, but why is it so complicated?"
"I thought that going to the Western Eight God Realm, in the context of the Western Eight God War, and fighting against a bunch of high-ranking beings like demigods was already the most painful part of the Western Eight... But you're telling me it's all over now?"
As Liang Ye spoke, Lin Yu sighed and nodded sadly.
"I'm afraid so... Captain Liangye."
Liang Ye sighed, "Why didn't you say so sooner, you idiot?"
"On the one hand, I only just confirmed these situations myself, and on the other hand... before confirming that the 'Grandmaster' would be here to provide support, I was afraid that telling you all this in advance would cause you to break down."
Liang Ye was helpless.
"Damn it, how could I let something like this happen... Okay, damn it, but even so, you should have discussed it with me beforehand!"
Liangye said with dissatisfaction.
And on the other side...
Gu Mo had already naturally handed over some work-related tasks to the members of the "Player Mutual Aid Association"—these members of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" very proactively introduced themselves, informed Gu Mo of their responsibilities in this election, and expressed their willingness to let Gu Mo guide and direct them.
Although she had declared that she would "take over" the place, Gu Mo was not actually very good at directing and arranging personnel deployments and coordinating the work of all parties. She planned to consult with the "Professor" and the "Secretary" afterward and let other professionals within the "Order" who were good at management handle everything.
Although Gu Mo has now succeeded in "seizing power," she has only seized power.
Therefore, after listening to these reports, Gu Mo simply tried to memorize most of the information as quickly as possible, and then gave the instructions of "good, maintain the status quo". At most, she gave some attitude-level guidance that did not need to be implemented in specific operations, such as "be more careful and more thorough".
but……
Even if no specific details have changed, the mere fact that these "player mutual aid association" members reported this to Gu Mo has already significantly altered the situation.
Or rather...
Top-tier players like Gu Mo and "Grandmasters," experts at the "fourth tier," can alter the landscape of a place simply by their presence.
“I need to go inside with these ‘Player Mutual Aid Association’ guys to take a look around… and then meet with the other ‘Order’ members and standardize the procedures,” Gu Mo said as she approached Lin Yu. “Let’s go, let’s act together.”
Lin Yu shook his head: "I have other things to take care of."
Gu Mo raised an eyebrow: "It will be more convenient for you and 'Liang Ye' to follow me as the commander and deputy commander, respectively."
“Now that you’ve taken over here, you don’t need the two of us, the commander and the deputy commander, to come along,” Lin Yu said helplessly. “The members of ‘Order’ all recognize your voice… I really do have some other things to take care of.”
Liang Ye, who was originally prepared to agree to Gu Mo's request, was shocked to hear Lin Yu's rejection of Gu Mo.
However, after a brief moment of thought, seeing that Gu Mo didn't seem annoyed, Liang Ye decided to go along with Lin Yu's suggestion—after all, so far, Liang Ye had never seen Lin Yu make any mistakes or oversights in his decisions.
“Yes, Master, you don’t need us Xiba to accompany you when you go for a stroll,” Liang Ye said, then added seriously, “In fact, it would be a bit redundant for us Xiba to come along.”
"It is precisely because we both hold the positions of Commander and Deputy Commander of West Eight that we should take advantage of your presence in the inner area of West Eight and go to other parts of West Eight for a stroll."
Gu Mo didn't insist.
“Okay, then I’ll go take a look around by myself,” Gu Mo said to Lin Yu in a low voice. “Anyway, she told me… I don’t need to ask what you do, I just need to support you.”
Lin Yu paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
Afterwards, Gu Mo led the group of "player mutual aid" members and left the place surrounded by them.
In an instant, only Lin Yu and Liang Ye remained in the huge room.
Looking at the closed room door, Liang Ye finally turned to Lin Yu.
"Alright, damn it, 'Director'—what are we going to do now?"
Lin Yu said, "Let's wait for 'Paper Kite'."
Liang Ye was stunned: "What? 'Paper Kite' is really hidden in this hotel?"
Lin Yu nodded.
Then...
The door to the hotel suite opened, and "Paper Kite" stepped out.
"Yes, I'm here... I took a short rest for the night."
Liangye looked at Zhiyuan with some confusion: "Okay... it seems a lot happened while I was away, but... why are you resting here, Xiba?"
"Because I killed 'Rainy Bell' last night, and I'm quite tired."
Paper Kite calmly said.
Liang Ye was even more shocked: "Damn it... I thought they were wronging you!!"
