"What the hell are you thinking, Heaven's Pride!?"

The shout was so loud that everyone in the Noodle Shop guild's base, now known as Nonsen - The Golden House, could hear it.

Many guild members were sweating, trembling with fear.

The voice belonged to the vice guild leader, Do Hoan.

"Oh my God, Heaven's Pride, Heaven's Pride, you must have been bewitched by that fox!"

"At least selling the guild would be for money, but you actually gave away all our territory to that fox!?"

Other staff members listened to Do Hoan's furious outburst and trembled on behalf of Heaven's Pride.

"Vice Leader, calm down... Heaven's Pride brother always acts with thought. We didn't reach top 1 for nothing. I don't believe he gave the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King everything without reason. Heaven's Pride brother has always considered the brothers here."

An elder from the guild tried to defuse the situation. His name was Lam Thanh.

"Hmph...!"

Do Hoan glanced at Heaven's Pride with eyes sharp enough to cut through flesh.

"Is that correct, Heaven's Pride?"

"No, I just found her beautiful, so I simply offered it to her."

Heaven's Pride laughed heartily, his laughter resounding.

Bam.

Do Hoan overturned the table, pulling out his mace.

"Do Hoan! Calm down!!!"

Lam Thanh and two other high ranking members tried to restrain him.

"Let go of me!!! I must kill this old goat!!!"

The murderous aura was frightening.

Yet despite this, Heaven's Pride continued laughing loudly.

"But there's one thing he got right, I would never let the brothers suffer losses."

Do Hoan paused.

"Hmph! If there's something to say, spit it out!""Tell us what you're planning!"

Heaven's Pride laughed joyfully, opening the wine bottle hanging at his waist and taking a sip.

"Unlike others who used the newly opened Teleportation Gate to go directly to the City of Thousand Tails, I walked there."

"I heard many stories being shared among the Yaoguais."

Heaven's Pride began recounting the tales he had heard.

The elders and the vice guild leader sat down on the ground to listen.

"Currently, the number of Yaoguai Kings can be counted on one hand; many are in hiding. Only four Yaoguai Kings are ruling the Yaoguais, known as the Four Great Yaoguai Kings."

"They are Wu Gong the Centipede, Oceanis the Whale, Yin Fang the Crow, and Thousand Tails."

"Typically, these Yaoguai Kings would tear each other apart for territory and power, until only one remains standing."

"The wild nature of beasts is still within the Yaoguais."

"However, ever since Thousand Tails became a Yaoguai King, almost immediately, the previous three Yaoguai Kings who constantly fought each other have all ceased their battles."

"They honor the title of the Four Great Yaoguai Kings, but all other Yaoguai Kings have accepted Thousand Tails Yaoguai King as the Ruler Of All Yaoguais."

"Though she doesn't live as long as Wu Gong, possess brutal combat power like Yin Fang, or have an abundant army like Oceanis."

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Yet all the Yaoguais recognize her as their ruler."

Do Hoan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"Are you suggesting that the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King has a special ability that forces them to follow her?"

Heaven's Pride nodded.

"It's no secret among the Yaoguais. The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King has eyes that can see the future."

"She holds countless secrets yet to unfold, thousands of treasures yet to be discovered, even though people say her power falls short in some areas compared to other Yaoguai Kings, I suspect she has much more hidden away."

Do Hoan looked at Heaven's Pride.

This leader, although obsessed with wine and women, truly is someone who thinks deeply.

But that's not enough.

"And what next...? I can't believe that's all it took for you to offer our entire guild to the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King."

Heaven's Pride continued the story with a question.

"Do Hoan, right now if humans were to face both the Yaoguais and the Demon Race, who would win?"

Do Hoan was startled.

He had an answer for this himself.

Currently, the Yaoguais and Demon Race have the Demon God.

Though humans have rivals for the Yaoguai Kings, they have no match for the Demon God position.

The balance of power is not equal.

"So you're making an alliance with the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King to gain benefits in the future?"

At this, the high ranking members also exclaimed.

"What a leader!""If the Yaoguais and the Demon Race win, we certainly won't suffer."

"By arriving early, we get early benefits. While other guilds are looking to form alliances, we are already in the Grand Hall."

"First World is just a game, so whether the Yaoguais or humans win, players won't be seriously affected."

"Exactly, we can even now freely choose our starting race when creating characters, or switch races as we please."

Do Hoan remained deep in thought.

"But there are many ways to form alliances. Did you really offer all our territory and guild to the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King?"

Heaven's Pride laughed heartily.

"A small gift now, later I'll give her the whole world."

"You old goat!" Do Hoan clicked his tongue.

Heaven's Pride took a sip of wine.

"A guild isn't something anyone owns."

"A guild is the people within it."

"Now the entire group leaves the guild to form a new one with all the previous members."

"Who dares to say the old guild is the real Noodle Shop?"

"If you've been watching the situation these past few days, you'll realize what she's trying to do."

"What is the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King planning?" Lam Thanh asked.

"She wants to build a force."

"The current policy of the City of Thousand Tails is to open its gates for players to roam freely, without limiting it to only Yaoguais."

"The Yaoguai Festival was created with no restrictions on players."

"Do you think that if she ordered that, the other races would naturally agree?"

"It's because Foreigners like us are inherently not seen as humans by the Yaoguais."

"Indeed..." Do Hoan was startled.

Players have the ability to freely change race and appearance.

In theory, players are more akin to Yaoguais than humans.

"Before I met her, I had already heard some things outside."

"When she negotiates with a local, she prioritizes imposing high taxes, but most importantly."

"In trading with the City of Thousand Tails, when the city wages war, they must support with all their might."

"She is amassing resources for war preparation."

"Through the Rooster King, she also sent numerous invitations for class transfers."

"If you look into it, the benefits of classes under the Yaoguais are significantly better, with more skills to learn and more reward missions. "

"Her behavior and policies clearly indicate that she welcomes, even vehemently wants to recruit players."

"In this world, players are immortal; even if killed, they'll revive and return."

"There will definitely be outsiders on the side of humanity."

"But if you don't have these immortal warriors to balance the scale, are you sure you'll win the war?"

"Though the Yaoguais and the Demon Race oppose humans, fundamentally the Yaoguais and Demon Race are two distinct factions."

"What guarantees that the Demonic Path is formed, and the Yaoguais will still exist if there's no resistance?"

"Relying completely on another faction is the foolishest thing."

Do Hoan stayed silent.

Damn it.

I really lost the argument to this old goat.

Wait a minute.

"So you're also giving her the entire territory, right...?"

"Yes, for her, I'm a fool, aren't I?"

This cheeky dog.

"Don't you stop me!!!"

"Do Hoan, calm down!!!"

The others once again held him back.

"And thus."

Do Hoan paused, listening to Heaven's Pride continue.

"I give her what she wants; she must accept this gift."

The territory originally belonged to humans.

The manpower of those from afar.

One of the Three Top Individuals surrendering unconditionally under her command."And after receiving my gift."

"More than half of the territory that can be possessed by foreigners."

"The territory we temporarily hold accounts for more than half, because when I fully took over the territory of the First World, there weren't enough resources to divide for defense and protection of it all."

"Now, with the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King pouring Yaoguais into it."

"Our guild, in the next territory war, will capture and hold the entire First World territory long-term."

"Only players can receive the rewards of a territory war."

"Just holding that territory for a month, the wealth gained would be enough for the Noodle Shop to maintain the top position for six months after."

"Daring to say that if the entire territory of the First World belongs to us for a year."

"And we also belong to the Yaoguais from the beginning."

"Of course, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King also belongs to me, hahaha."

"And by then."

"Will I still have to stand alongside those other two?"

Gulp.

Do Hoan, Lam Thanh, and the elders all widened their eyes.

The grand scheme that Heaven's Pride had laid out.

It was immense.

Heaven's Pride smiled, stood up, and left the room.

"Alright then, I still have to prepare a gift for your sister-in-law the lovely Thousand Tails, take your time explaining to the brothers if there's anything."
