The World Online Chapter 809 Silver Hand

Chapter 809 - Silver Hand

The moment Ouyang Shuo stepped into the reading room, he could feel the chill emanating from Feng Qiuhuang.

She had changed!

They had both changed.

A light shone in Ouyang Shuo's eyes, and he smiled as he waved at her. Sitting on the seat and changing into a comfortable posture, he said, "The Chinese New Year is not even over and you have begun?"

Feng Qiuhuang rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "You are still in the mood to joke?"

"What happened?" Ouyang Shuo did not understand.

Feng Qiuhuang explained, "I heard from my family elders that Di Chen and the rest have started to move." On the topic of her family elder, her tone did not even change, and it was just like she was talking about a normal official.

Seeing that, Ouyang Shuo was even surer that Feng Qiuhuang had truly walked onto the path of a king.

So amazing!

Not mentioning the China region, this was rare even in the entire world.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Then let them. Anyways, they cannot do much."

Ouyang Shuo liked to use a pa.s.sive approach to deal with the Yanhuang Alliance. Basically, he would not take the initiative to mess with them, but the moment they tried to disturb Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo would give them a deadly blow.

The Battle of Yunnan was a good example.

Ouyang Shuo did not have the energy to play a cat and mouse game with them.

What's the point?

Building up Shanhai City was the way of the king while schemes and plots were only secondary and not what a king would do. Just like against the Shu Han Regime, in the end, they would still fight on the battlefield.

Trying to pry away Pang Tong was only to a.s.sist the situation.

Why wasn't Di Chen and the others tired from playing such games every day?

"This time is different; you need to be careful." Feng Qiuhuang's expression was really solemn.

Ouyang Shuo was stunned when he saw that Feng Qiuhuang was really anxious, so he immediately sat up straight and asked, "So are they going to try and a.s.sa.s.sinate, team up, or alienate?"

"None of those."

Feng Qiuhuang's following words caused Ouyang Shuo to frown.

Ouyang Shuo was just a normal person and did not know how vast the world was, and he also underestimated the power of an aristocratic family. The world had many things that were hidden in the clouds and were not something he could touch.

This matter started from the Earth era.

Before the federation was established, the large aristocratic families in the world did not have much interaction; especially between east and west, where a natural barrier existed.

Along with the federation being built, the entire Earth became one. These aristocratic families started to work with one another to go against the federation government.

In the dark, they formed an organization known as Silver Hand, which Di Chen and their families were a part of. Di Chen was also a core member of Silver Hand.

The reach of Silver Hand pretty much stretched to every corner of the federation, but only a few people knew of their existence. Amongst which included the academic faction that was led by the Federation President.

The members of the academic faction were mainly federation members, and their goal was to remove the power of the aristocratic families.

The presence of this faction curbed the power of Silver Hand and did not allow them to go too far. The battle between the two had continued for basically the entire federation process.

When Armageddon arrived, Silver Hand faced a ma.s.sive test. The land and foundation they relied on were suddenly facing extinction.

The academic faction used this chance to counterattack.

The achievement value calculation and the game achievement value calculations were thought of by the academic faction to break the weapon of Silver Hand, making them lose their power.

Of course, the Silver Hand did not fall that easily.

What happened next was naturally a head on battle.

The special treatment of the game cabin, secrets about Earth Online, beta tester qualifications, keeping the game secret, and similar advantages were what Silver Hand had managed to obtain.

Facing such a giant, even the Federation President had to yield sometimes.

Apart from these advantages, Silver Hand also did not give up on their ambition to rule Earth Online. In their eyes, as long as they were able to maintain a high position in the game, they would win based on the 2nd achievement value calculation.

However, Silver Hand had not expected Gaia to be on the side of the academic faction. The perfect system of Earth Online basically did not give them any chances to pull tricks.

The fair game environment gave Silver Hand a headache.

With that, there would unavoidably be gra.s.sroots players who used Earth Online to start a counterattack to become the central power to fight against Silver Hand on Planet Hope.

Hence, before the planetary migration, members of Silver Hand had an agreement - the moment a country had an uncontrollable power that threatened the other members of Silver Hand, the other members had to work with them to remove this anomaly to maintain the order in game.

This agreement was known as term number 15.

Silver Hand even cla.s.sified the anomalies as dangerous, really dangerous, and catastrophe. The higher the value, the more the Silver Hand would pay attention to it.

If they reached the dangerous cla.s.sification, one could use the members of that country to fight but did not need to activate term number 15. Very dangerous meant that members of Silver Hand would help as much as they could.

As for catastrophe level, that was serious.

The moment it was cla.s.sified as a catastrophe, all members of Silver Hand had to act and needed to remove this anomaly even if they had to risk everything.

Ouyang Shuo and his Shanhai City had undoubtedly become the biggest anomaly in the game.

After the loss at the Battle of Yunnan, Di Chen and the others had to admit that it was not enough to stop Shanhai City with just the power of Yanhuang Alliance. They already had no ability to remove this anomaly.

Di Chen felt that it was time to activate term number 15.

Chun Shenjun, Zhan Lang, Xiong Ba, Feng Qingyang, and the others agreed to this suggestion; the matter was already underway.

On the eve of Chinese New Year, Silver Hand activated the term number 15.

Originally, Di Chen cla.s.sified Shanhai City as a catastrophe. However, after the round table of Silver Hand deliberated the situation, they lowered the cla.s.sification to very dangerous.

However, what Ouyang Shuo was unaware of was that William from the English region and Henry from France was on this round table, and they had helped save him.

One must know that if Silver Hand went all out, Shanhai City would have to lose a hand even if it did not die. Even the current very dangerous cla.s.sification was enough to cause problems for them.

In the eyes of Jack Dawson, Shanhai City's presence was not a threat to all of them. If they were given a catastrophe cla.s.sification, it would be hurting the prestige of Silver Hand.

"Are we going to be terrified of a territory that has not even established a country? If that happens, where is our face?" said Jack Dawson during the meeting.

Members of Silver Hand were extremely proud.

As a result, when Shanhai City slowly rose in the wilderness and suppressed Yanhuang Alliance, Di Chen and the others did not think about using members from other countries to help them.

Only after the Battle of Yunnan ended were they forced into a corner, and they had no choice but to admit defeat. Just like that, it made them into a laughing stock in the organization.

If it were possible, Di Chen and the others wished that they would never activate the term number 15.

Apart from that, Jack and the others did not want to list Shanhai City as catastrophic for strategic considerations.

Apart from their own strength, Silver Hand's power came from their secrecy. Even the academic faction did not know all the members of Silver Hand.

If they listed Ouyang Shuo as a catastrophe, Silver Hand would be totally revealed to the people.

If the academic faction used this chance to help Shanhai City clear out members of Silver Hand, their lives would not be easy.

Not mentioning destroying Shanhai City, it would be difficult for them to even protect themselves.

Compared to the real world, the players in the game could have a decisive impact.

With the China Region as an example, they had tens of millions of gra.s.sroots players. If all of them stepped up to oppose Yanhuang Alliance, it was enough to pull their roots from the ground.

Even within Yanhuang Alliance, there were many gra.s.sroots players.

Speaking of which, as long as members of Silver Hand did not jump out, no matter how the academic faction fanned the flames, no one would believe it. Players were not fools and were not so easily invited and used.

If not, the Yanhuang Alliance would not have survived so safely till now.

To let all the gra.s.sroots players start a riot would require a great opportunity. Jack Dawson was not a fool and would not give up such a chance.

The above few reasons lowered Ouyang Shuo's rating.

Di Chen and the rest felt exceedingly regretful about it. In their eyes, Ouyang Shuo was sick in the head and had an unparalleled understanding of the game.

Since the organization acted, they should go all out. If not, unknown and unexpected changes might occur.

Di Chen was afraid.

"Since that's the case, the battle must go on." Di Chen said/
 ...
After term number 15 came into effect, members of Silver Hand around the world needed to help Yanhuang Alliance curb the rise of Shanhai City in the wilderness.

An invisible net was slowly covering Shanhai City.

As a result, when Feng Qiuhuang received the news, she immediately ran over.

If she did not return to the Feng Family, take over the family, and receive the news from the Feng Family elder, Ouyang Shuo would have been kept in the dark about the matter.
