Chapter 39
Respawn point near the Forest of Resentment, Dim City.
Snow Step had just respawned, his face displaying alot of emotions.
After a player is killed through PK, there is a period during which they cannot log into the game before respawning.
Last night, he was so frustrated that he jumped straight into bed and slept until morning.
Of course, special missions like the duel between Ye Yu and No One are exempt from this penalty.
He stood silently at the respawn point, with no intention of moving.
This failure was somewhat unexpected for him.
His feelings were extremely complicated at the moment.
Snow Step was a person full of pride, but also someone who knew how to accept defeat when it happened.
That's why this loss hit him so hard psychologically.
Sighing deeply.
Snow Step opened the elite guild chat.
Ice Fire Song was currently spreading the word about smearing the Moonlight Clan.
Snow Step quietly sent a message and then left U Minh City.
【I won't be participating in this for now. Do whatever you need to do.】
Ice Fire Song saw the message but didn’t have any strong reaction.
He understood Snow Step’s temperament in the guild; this guy was extremely proud, but after facing a setback, he always needed some time to recover.
Ice Fire Song had no intention of making him uncomfortable. Having wealthy members in the guild was akin to having the guild sit on a dragon vein. Cutting off a dragon vein would be the stupidest move.
"Alright. Do whatever you need to do."
Snow Step then opened the PVP interface.
Sword of Love. I'll remember this name.
Immediately, he pressed 【Matchmaking】.
First, he needed to train himself.

【The Blood-stained List】
This is a system born from the hatred in First World.
Its function is straightforward.
You spend money to post the name of someone you dislike on it.
Others can agree to your request and eliminate them.
It's basically a transaction of money and revenge.
However, today the Blood List interface was unusually peculiar.
Typically, there are always tasks on the Blood List, but there are at most 3 pages.
Today, it shot up to over 50 pages!!!
And they all came from the same person placing bounties!
【Lady Lam】
Usually, in these situations, the person who places a bounty on the Blood List hides their identity, listing themselves as 【Anonymous】.
This person directly left their real name.This is clearly a declaration of war!
Scrolling through hundreds of names, they were all members of Fire&Ice Camp and Nine Yin.

The requirement for all those tasks was to "Return with a player's gold equipment."
This was a rare requirement.
Normally, you would need to "Bring back the head as proof."
Because this is cheaper than returning with a piece of gold equipment.
How deep is Lady Lam's resentment that she would establish such ruthless tasks?
If it was just one person, it would be understandable.
She directly spent tens millions Gold, putting an entire guild on the Blood-stained List!!!
Each person with a piece of gold equipment, this is a direct hit on the economy!!!?
For the wealthy, it's not an issue, but for normal players, gold equipment is extremely precious.
Gold equipment has special effects is even more valuable.
Gold equipment from daily quests means having to grind for a long time to obtain it again, while also losing valuable items that can be exchanged for First World coins.
"Goodness, look!!!"
Some targets had their jobs claimed and were already dead.
Immediately, their names were once again listed on the Blood-stained List.
The assassins looking at the Blood-stained List interface felt a chill run down their spines.
Economic strike... ? This should be called economic annihilation!Information about guild members is almost always displayed for all players to see.
A guild is a source of pride for each person, so there's nothing to hide.
After all, in the display name, the guild's emblem will be shown.
But at this moment, the fire and ice emblem of the Fire&Ice Camp is nothing short of a death sentence.
The guild members wish they could hide it.
Ice Fire Song was infuriated at this moment.
Many brothers in the guild going on daily quests were ambushed and killed.
How could a small guild directly attack a Top 5 guild like this?
They should have been crushed by Fire&Ice Camp like pests, just like any other dream-obsessed guilds.
"Hurry! Put the entire Moonlight Clan on the Blood List immediately! They think I lack money!?"
"G-Guild leader!!! This isn't good!!!"
Ice Fire Song's eyes were bloodshot, ready to explode after hearing what was happening.
The Moonlight Clan bought the territory of Blood Word from MaGold!!!
Trading territory in the game is a significant mechanism for guilds.
Participating in the Guild War allows one to seize territory.
Then one can either hold the territory for rewards or trade it with other guilds.
Small and medium guilds usually do not have territories.The top guilds nearly occupy an entire pole.
That scoundrel MaGold? He sold Blood Word to the Moonlight Clan!?!
Blood Word is a small territory with almost no major rewards.
The only noteworthy point is that it manages the Blood-stained List.
The guild that holds the Blood Word territory is immune to the Blood-stained List!
MaGold held onto this territory for a long time, primarily to prevent his guild members from being massacred.
And yet today, he sold it directly to Lady Lam???
You can't joke around with the wealth of this person.
Normally, Ice Fire Song would want to recruit Lady Lam.
Whenever he meets someone rich, he actually wants to bring them into the guild.
However, at this moment, both are on opposing sides.
It seems that soon, either the Moonlight Clan will be destroyed, or his own guild will be.
"Hurry! Wherever you see members of the Moonlight Clan, kill them! Announce it in the world channel!"
Announcing in the world channel is another way to post on the Blood List.
【Hunt down the Moonlight Clan. One person is worth 1,000 Gold.】
However, this method is less used, due to one issue: trustworthiness.
It's not part of the game's quest system, just word of mouth.
So being tricked is entirely possible.Only the top guilds, those with honor, use this method.
There was once a time when MaGold and Mujou are fighting with eachother, and MaGold directly used the Blood Word territory to taunt Mujou.
Mujou could only respond in this way.
When Mujou saw that world chat message, he merely looked down on it.
Do you think you're me, capable of pulling off such a stunt?
【Lady Lam: Hunt down the Fire&Ice Camp. Each person is worth 10,000 Gold. Offer a regular gold item for 1 million. With effects, 10 million.】
!@*^^####@?
Ice Fire Song cursed.
Offering a bounty ten times higher.
Adding gold equipment, each piece sold directly at top market price?
Ice Fire Song even briefly considered let the clan suicide to to sell items for such a high rate.
This level of wealth..? It smells akin to MaGold or Mujou.
Ice Fire Song discreetly messaged MaGold.
【Ice Fire Song: Brother MaGold. Do you have any relationship with Lady Lam, why did you sold her the Blood Word?】
MaGold chuckled.
The matters between Lady Lam and Ice Fire Song have nothing to do with him.
He was merely there to watch the show from the sidelines.
The Blood Word territory would be sold if Ice Fire Song had enough money to buy it.
That cursed land yields almost zero profit. The maintenance costs are exorbitant.
Its effectiveness in avoiding the Blood List is no longer necessary.
Back when guilds were being established, its value was significant.
Now, except for Black & White, hardly anyone dares to mess with the Eastern Joy Club.
【MaGold: Not much, it's just that I no longer need the Blood Word. She offered a high price, so I sold it.】
Ice Fire Song broke into a sweat.
Thinking what to do next.
Usually, when he wipes out a small to medium guild, it doesn't take excessive effort.
He simply meets and kills all the members.
Too many, and the Bloodo-stained List comes into play.
Within half a month, the guild would disband on its own.
This was the first time he encountered such guild.
Suddenly, Lady Lam's message appeared on the world chat again.
【Lady Lam: The Nine Yin guild has been eradicated. As for the Fire&Ice Camp, prepare yourselves.】
Ice Fire Song began to sweat.The Nine Yin guild has been annihilated?
Immediately, he noticed in his friend list.
Rice Village Boss was now shown as not belonging to any guild.
