Chapter 36: The Faction War Begins, the Aggressive Nations Descend!

Cai Kun: "Wow, it’s God Ye! God Ye, you haven't appeared in so long, I’ve missed you to death! I’m going to check out what good stuff you’ve listed right now."

Ye Chuyun: "???? When did I become God Ye? Isn't it a bit pretentious to be called that?"

Huang Li: "Don't be modest, God. We are all still hovering around levels 3 or 4, and you're already level 8. If that doesn't make you a god, what does?"

Yang Yanan: "Wow, everyone, hurry and look! God Ye has listed so many Tier 1 items. The stats are much better than the Green-Claw Machete and the Eyeless Leather Armor."

Liu Daqiang: "Holy crap! God Ye is buying up spirit herbs and fruits again. Everyone, hurry and sell to him before it's too late!"

Wang Gang: "Damn it, stop snatching them! Who bought my Iron Tortoise Beast essence? I only managed to buy two!"

Zhuang Liang: "Terrifying, absolutely terrifying. In just a few seconds, the Iron Tortoise Beast essences were all snatched up. Those stat bonuses—tsk tsk—they are truly mouth-watering."

Wang Yun: "Seriously? I was wondering why my potions weren't selling. So you've all been hoarding your God-Demon Coins for this, huh?"

Ye Chuyun stared, dumbfounded, at his listing section, which had once again been cleared out. Good grief, he seemed to have underestimated the financial power of this group.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the regional chat channel was nowhere near as harmonious as in Channel 118.

Channel 44, Ruth: "Oh, God, you people from the Dragon Kingdom must be cheating. To gather 50 Challenge Tokens in just an hour? I don't think even God himself could do that."

Channel 346, Kitahara Sosuke: "Yoshi, this beautiful lady from Eagle Country is right. This Zone 118 is definitely cheating!!!"

Channel 346, Kudo Moto: "That's right! Beginner Village 118 used despicable means to win against us. They've caused us such misery."

Channel 28, Hong Jeong-han: "Aish, someone hurry up and punish this country that only knows how to cheat."

Channel 388, Yang Wanli: "Heh, speaking of cheating, doesn't it seem like your countries are the ones who love to cheat?"

"If you can't afford to lose, just cheat, right?"

Channel 28, Hong Jeong-han: "Shibal, you Dragon Kingdom people, are you really that shameless, simida?"

Channel 118, Feng Yu: "Haha, so since you Zone 44 losers can't handle losing, you call us cheaters? That's all you're capable of. How does that 30-point deduction to all stats feel? Can you even still fight the beasts?"

Channel 44, Ruth: "Hmph, don't get cocky. I've already contacted other countries. They will challenge your Beginner Village 118 simultaneously. Just wait for your deaths."

Channel 118, Feng Yu: "You people are truly shameless!"

Just then, three announcements appeared across the entire regional channel.

[Announcement: Zone 55 has activated a Resource Challenge Token, targeting Zone 118. Resource Challenge initiated!]

[Announcement: Zone 28 has activated a Resource Challenge Token, targeting Zone 118. Resource Challenge initiated!]

[Announcement: Zone 156 has activated a Resource Challenge Token, targeting Zone 118. Resource Challenge initiated!]

All three announcements appeared at once, instantly stunning everyone.

Three beginner villages could challenge the same one at the same time??? This was too terrifying.

[Announcement: Detected three regions challenging the same region simultaneously. Faction Mode activated.]

[Faction Mode: The three challenging regions will be grouped into one faction, and the challenged party will form the other. The winning side will have their resources doubled, and all members will receive a 60-point increase to all attributes. The losing side will have 80% of their resources deducted, and all members will lose 60 points from all attributes.]

[Content of this Faction Challenge: Points Battle!]

[Points Battle: Both factions earn points by killing fierce beasts. The first side to reach 1,000 points wins!]

[Tip: Only kills of Level 3 or higher beasts grant points. A Level 3 beast is worth 1 point, a Level 4 beast is worth 2 points, and so on.]

[Tip: Only the person who deals the killing blow to the beast receives the points.]

[Tip: Once the Faction Battle begins, individual point rankings will be enabled. The higher your individual points, the greater the rewards upon your faction's victory!]

[Tip: The Faction Battle will begin in ten minutes. Before it starts, other regions in the regional channel may choose a side to join.]

[Tip: The challengers are the Blue Faction; the challenged are the Red Faction.]

[Tip: Communication restrictions in the regional chat channel are temporarily lifted during the Faction Battle.]

Channel 118, Cai Kun: "Holy crap, a Faction Battle? Is that even allowed?"

Channel 118, Wang Gang: "Hey everyone in the Dragon Kingdom, is anyone wanting to join our side?"

Channel 55, Sharma Rafi: "It's so cold, I'm playing with mud in the Northeast~~~~, hahaha! Zone 118, you’re doomed. With our three great powers—India, Japan, and Korea—joining forces, we’ll surely crush you!"

Channel 28, Park Jeong-chan: "Haha, exactly, simida! This is so satisfying. We get double the resources if we win."

Channel 156, Nakamura Den: "Yoshi. I warn other countries, if you don't want to be targeted by us, do not join Zone 118's faction. Come to our side instead, understand?"

Channel 346, Kitahara Sosuke: "Zone 346 requests to join!"

[Tip: Zone 346 has joined the Blue Faction. Current Blue Faction count: 4. Red Faction count: 1.]

Channel 44, Sam: "That's right. I also warn other zones, if you don't want to bring fire upon yourselves, don't join Zone 118's faction. Zone 44 requests to join."

[Tip: Zone 44 has joined the Blue Faction. Current Blue Faction count: 5. Red Faction count: 1.]

Zone 85: "Oh, God, there are so many in the Blue Faction? If we join now, isn't it a guaranteed win? We can't pass up these free rewards."

[Tip: Zone 85 has joined the Blue Faction. Current Blue Faction count: 6. Red Faction count: 1.]

[Tip: Zone 966 has joined the Blue Faction. Current Blue Faction count: 7. Red Faction count: 1.]

...

[Tip: Zone 399 has joined the Blue Faction. Current Blue Faction count: 10. Red Faction count: 1.]

At this moment, everyone in Zone 118 was stunned.

With only 8 minutes left until the Faction Battle began, so many zones had already joined the Blue side. And not a single one had joined their Red side.
