The next day, on the front page, first line of the Quick Daily News, there was a commentary article with the title of ‘Hero fights for country in Country War, but gets shot by hidden arrows.’

Bai Xiaosheng used his descriptive writing skills to illustrate how Qiyue Wuyi had started a Country War and destroyed the Annan Navy to obtain rich treasures, describing him as the hero of the country.

Following which, he turned the tone around to describe the bank run matter of the Four Seas Bank. Based on the Black Snake Guards investigations, this matter was a carefully planned scheme.

The goal was to utilize improper competition to achieve unspeakable goal.

Connecting the two matters together would trigger the patriotic spirit of the players. At the same time, it would wash away the negativity around the Four Seas Bank, helping to strike at the evil doers.

The moment the article went live, it naturally caused an uproar.

To the players in the China region, a Country War was simply a massive matter. Although Ouyang Shuo had went out for personal reasons, he was a hero in their eyes.

This point was enough to push the reputation and prestige of Shanhai City to the top. Any negative news and information would be repelled.

With that, the players naturally hated those despicable schemers.

They had ironclad evidence, so the perpetrators could not deny the matter.

Anyone with a brain would know the people behind this.

All of a sudden, the comments all favored Shanhai City.

The popularity of the Fours Seas Bank exploded once more. Meanwhile, the Huitong Bank lost a lot of credit. Even if they tried to pull further stunts, it would be useless.

Ouyang Shuo's action caught many people off guard, a true masterstroke.

Jingchu Province, Pill Sun City.

"Asshole!"

After Chun Shenjun read the report, he was furious regarding Bai Xiaosheng's stance. It was incredibly obvious that the Wilderness Publications had started to side with Shanhai Alliance.

Shanhai City’s influence had started to seep into other territories and regions.

A well-thought out planned was easily thwarted by Qiyue Wuyi, making Chun Shenjun feel extremely annoyed.

It was like saving up so much to use your special move and wanting to one shot your opponent. However, your opponent just uses a finger to break your move; such a feeling of defeat was just incredibly awful.

"Wait and see!" Chun Shenjun remained determined.

He would not give up easily.

Shanhai City, Dongli Sword Sect.

Above the hanging cliff, two senior disciples served two female disciples, who were having a casual conversation.

"Feifei, I heard that your father was demoted," said the slightly plumb female disciple.

"En." The other female disciple was the crestfallen Meng Feifei.

During this bank run, her father had worked so hard, but it did not work out. In the end, he was demoted. When she returned home and saw the depressed back view of her father, her heart felt pained.

His health worried her.

"In my opinion, Ouyang was too vicious; he did not care about relationships." The slightly plump female disciple was naturally her good friend, Tan Xiaoli.

The two of them were able to join the Dongli Sword Sword thanks to Ouyang Shuo’s help.

When they entered Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo only had the shine of the best Lord in the world. The two of them could use their relationship as friends to go and visit.

Now, even entering the Lord's Manor required great courage.

A massive divide separated them.

Even during Ouyang Shuo's wedding, the two were just two out of thousands of guests. They were the most basic of visitors, and they did not even have the right to drink with him.

"Ouyang Shuo was also put on the spot. Since my dad could keep his job, it means Ouyang Shuo has tried to take care of him." Meng Feifei understood the entire matter; she saw the situation clearly.

Sigh! Tan Xiaoli exhaled; she obviously understood.

However, since things had changed till such a state, she could not help but feel emotional.

Since when did that normal kid suddenly become a presence that everyone worshipped. Even when they talked privately, they could not help but respect him.

"I heard that Yuan Ping is thinking of attacking." Tan Xiaoli changed the topic.

"Him?" Meng Feifei's eyebrows could not help but rise, as a look of disdain appeared on her face, "Does he still not understand the gap between them?"

"Little brat, when did your words become so vicious?" Tan Xiaoli was a little shocked.

According to her impressions, Meng Feifei was a typical well-behaved, introverted girl. Even if she was unhappy with someone, she would not show it.

Her words really shocked Tan Xiaoli.

"I'm just saying the truth."

"At least people are still fighting!" Tan Xiaoli shook her head and sighed, "What about us? We do not even know where our futures will head. Who knows when the wilderness will really open the sect system. The Underworld is just a false name."

"It will come." Meng Zhida's eyes looked resolute.

The current sword wielders, including the sect disciples, were all at the training stage. They cultivated and improved their skills in wait of the Underworld’s released. At that time, they could show off their skills.

A breeze blew across and brought with it their words.

That afternoon, Ouyang Shuo held the committee meeting.

Naturally, his goal was to get even after autumn.

Li Wei had already been thrown into prison by the Black Snake Guards. If nothing went wrong, he would spend the next year in the cold prison.

A single year was the longest time Gaia allowed one to lock up players.

One could say that Li Wei's game adventures had arrived at a sad and lonely end. Even after he exited prison, it would be difficult for him to gain positive fame. After all, he had made enemies with Shanhai City,

When the other players heard the news, they felt awe-inspired.

As for those players who went to save and withdraw their money for the scheme, although they were targeted, they could not get prosecuted. After all, they had not committed a crime. Hence, Ouyang Shuo could not do anything that would result in the outside world getting a bad impression.

However, for those who led them, they were naturally prosecuted.

As for dealing with the few normal players, people handled them without even the need for Ouyang Shuo to open his mouth. One must not forget that Shanhai Alliance had five to six super alliances.

The guilds were best for dealing with adventure gamemode players.

This meeting was mainly to discuss how to deal with the Chang An Night News and the other media companies.

"Gaia has a rule that the moment a media outlet reports false news that causes negative effects, it will remove their license and ban them from media-related work." Ouyang Shuo was extremely familiar with the rules, so he introduced, "I have already applied to Gaia, and we will get results soon."

The producer of the Chang An Night News likely did not know about this setting. He probably thought that it was just a random blog, and they could say anything they wanted.

How would they know that Gaia had placed relevant federal laws into the game? Since they wanted to make the game real, how could laws be missing?

These people were truly too gullible.

Ouyang Shuo guessed that Gaia was likely waiting for such a chance to deal with the various media publications who had suddenly popped up.

After all, for an industry to develop, a healthy ecosystem was important. As such, Ouyang Shuo had faith that Gaia would punish the Chang An Night News.

Ouyang Shuo was probably the first person ever to account for Gaia in his plans.

"Good, we need to give those bastards a lesson." Gong Chengshi cheered. In this defamation incident, Black Lion City was defamed the most.

"Even if they disband, they would probably be able to live wealthily with the funds that they were paid." Feng Qiuhuang was extremely clear about these matters.

"Then what can we do?" Gong Chengshi was really unhappy.

"Just leave those things to us." Moon Shines Over the River said, "If we do not kill them a few times, how will we vent our anger."

Killing intent filled his words.

Ouyang Shuo did not bother about this, as somethings were best left for the guilds to handle.

With a tacit understanding, they did not mention how to take revenge on the Yanhuang Alliance. In truth, to deal with such a huge entity was not something they could do in such a short time.

No one seated here was a fool.

Ouyang Shuo was already extremely annoyed by the despicable acts of the Yanhuang Alliance. From now on, the strategy of the Shanhai Alliance would turn from defence to attack.

After returning to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo had started planning some ideas. However, some aspects could not be discussed without a clear plan.

In truth, Ouyang Shuo had held this meeting to maintain the military sentiments.

It was obvious that this goal was reached.

Apart from this, the situation had also exposed the weakness of the Four Seas Bank. That was that in Chang An and Xiangyang Imperial City, they did not have a partner.

The enemy choosing Chang An meant that they had seen through this weakness.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo took out a namelist of guilds and territories that had a good reputation in the five years of the game.

Ouyang Shuo suggested to use them as the breakthrough point.

After this matter, since Ouyang Shuo had solved the problem almost single handedly, his prestige rose once more. Although they still had some doubts regarding his confidence, they chose to trust him.

Soon, Ouyang Shuo would travel far away. Naturally, these matters would be led by Feng Qiuhuang. As such, Ouyang Shuo had to make things clear to avoid missed opportunities.

The blueprint of the Four Seas Bank also needed to be expanded once more.
