Chapter 295: We are taking! We are borrowing! We are not stealing!
Later, Xu Ercong learned from Long Aotian that it was not just the Qinghun Sect that was like this, but most of the ghost sects were like this.
Protecting one's own shortcomings, being partial, and helping relatives instead of others .
Some sects even adhere to the rule of accepting males but not females, and passing on skills to males but not females.
He was very old-fashioned and stubborn, leaving Xu Ercong speechless.
The secular world of this True Spirit World is already a world of modern technology, so why are there still some sects that adhere to these outdated rules?
As an outsider, even if Xu Ercong made great contributions in suppressing the ghost rebellion, it would be useless.
After all, he is an outsider to the ghost sects, and just a lone cultivator without any sect or school.
This made Xu Ercong very sad, but Long Aotian was very happy.
After a team battle, he basically didn't put in any effort, but he actually got most of the credit for nothing.
There is no need to elaborate on the celebrations of the ghost sect monks, the monetary rewards from the secular world, and so on. After the awards, it is natural to count the spoils, battle losses, and future plans.
There was naturally no loss in the battle. The evil spirits were driven away by the players, and the players could be resurrected after death, so there was naturally no loss.
Even if there are losses, these major ghost sects will not care about the lives of a group of individual cultivators.
As for the spoils...
That's really embarrassing. The swords and armor left behind by the ghost soldiers after their death were all taken away by the players, and not even a trace of ashes was left.
Killing monsters and looting their corpses is a fine tradition among new and old players.
How could the props that have entered the players' pockets be distributed to sects like the Qinghun Sect?
No loot, no battle losses.
The major sects of the NPC's Ghost Gate were just like passers-by in this ghost chaos. They didn't get any benefits, and the matter ended like this.
Naturally, the Qinghun Sect would not give up.
As the leading sect, the Qinghun Sect proposed that a thorough investigation should be conducted into the details of the ghost den and efforts should be made to find any traces of the ghost den.
"This ghostly place is really strange. For many years, there have only been a few words recorded in the ancient books of our ancestors, but it has never really appeared in the world."
"Now that the ghosts have come out, we, as ghost cultivators, cannot stand idly by and must eliminate the ghost chaos!"
In Xu Ercong's words, the Qinghun Sect is very courageous.
But it is naturally a very good thing to have this group of NPCs to wade through the muddy waters and explore the way for the players.
The ghost monks who joined forces with the Qinghun Sect were clamoring to destroy the ghost den and were busy every day. It was said that they had also contacted many ghost sects abroad to work together to find the location of the ghost den.
During this period, the players had a rare chance to relax and began to disperse to complete their personal tasks.
Since Xu Ercong had made up his mind to let the NPC sects test the details of the ghost den, he naturally discussed it with the major clubs and no longer showed up.
Even if they emerge, as individual monks, players may not be recognized by the NPC monk sects.
This matter had been exposed a long time ago, and most of the players were furious. Not only did they feel indignant for Xu Ercong, they also felt that their own gaming interests had been damaged.
After all, we players are the real heroes of this ghost chaos, so why is it that only Long Aotian was rewarded? Do the other players deserve no credit at all just because they are individual monks?
Apart from individual players, only Long Aotian and some players who were born as monks of sects at the beginning received game rewards, such as ghost treasures, secular currency rewards of the True Spirit World, etc.
This is extremely unfair to individual players!
Individual monks make up the vast majority of players. Most of the players are lone wolves. They may have one or two teammates to support and help each other, but they do not have the deep foundation of sect NPC forces.
"We will never cooperate with NPC sects again!"
"A bunch of old stubborn people, a bunch of vampires! They are unreasonable!"
"I helped them, but they still don't appreciate it. What an ungrateful bunch!"
Originally, this matter was just players venting their dissatisfaction on the game forum, cursing the NPC forces, or even attacking the disciples of certain sects.
If there is no follow-up to this matter, it will end here at best.
But Long Aotian and Xu Ercong thought this was a good opportunity.
It was mainly because Long Aotian's casual words reminded Xu Ercong: "If you really think that the Qinghun Sect is too stingy, why don't we players set up an entire sect ourselves?"
"Yeah, why can't players set up their own sect?"
Xu Ercong suddenly realized: "Of course we are in the first expansion pack. The official does not give players a main city, so don't we just take one down ourselves?"
"You can't be serious?"
Long Aotian blinked and stared at Xu Ercong: "I was just talking casually, do you really want to do this?"
"why not?"
The more Xu Ercong thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was credible.
Long Aotian said: "My brother Cong, even if you really set up a sect , I guess you still won't be recognized by these big sects in a short time."
"But without a sect, independent cultivators still cannot be recognized, and any benefits and intelligence will not be shared with us."
Xu Ercong pondered: "Instead of this, why don't we just stop begging these NPC sects and form our own gangs and a player sect!"
"The Players Club itself is a gaming force. Forming a sect can at most put it on the opposite side of the NPCs."
Xu Ercong is fearless: "At worst, we can just compete with NPC factions for resources, intelligence, and ghost kills. We will do the same even if we don't form a faction. Forming a faction will actually increase efficiency."
The reason why forces are stronger than individuals is that they can better divide the work and collaborate among people and maximize the use of everyone's strength.
This is true for player clubs and NPC factions.
"It's you, the senior brother of Qinghun Sect."
Xu Ercong bumped Long Aotian's arm and asked seriously, "If we set up a player sect, what would you say? Would you like to be your senior brother of the Qinghun Sect, or start from scratch with us?"
Long Aotian asked back: "What do you think?"
Xu Ercong sneered: "Of course, you want to be the senior brother of Qinghun Sect! What a good position, with a master who loves you."
"What are you saying!"
Long Aotian was immediately furious: "Am I the kind of person who would betray my brothers? When I play games, Long Aotian values loyalty! Loyalty comes first, understand?"
"Are you really willing to give up the game resources of Qinghunmen?"
Xu Ercong glanced at Long Aotian, somewhat suspicious: "If you bring everyone from the Aotian Club to join the Qinghun Sect, with just a little effort, the entire Qinghun Sect will be yours."
"Think about it, the Qinghun Sect has ready-made ghost monks practicing magic, ready-made ghost treasures, and technological ghost-catching weapons. It has the reputation of a leading sect from the beginning..."
"There are so many benefits to staying in Qinghunmen!"
Xu Ercong still didn't quite believe that Long Aotian would start from scratch with him: "Are you really willing?"
Long Aotian's face was full of determination, and he said loudly:
"Of course not."
"You are indeed a good brother! Since you are willing..."
Xu Ercong was very touched, but then he was stunned and immediately became furious: "You don't want to? Then why did you tell me so much!"
Long Aotian looked at Xu Ercong like a fool: "Do you think I'm stupid? Qinghun Sect has so many benefits, why would I leave?"
"What do you mean?"
Xu Ercong was stunned, his face full of confusion: "Then what are you talking about loyalty first?"
"Didn't you just say that all the benefits are in the Qinghun Sect? We just need to find a way to get them."
Long Aotian coughed and said, "If you want to form a player sect, I can consider providing you with some supplies."
"But those are all Qinghunmen's things!"
Xu Ercong took a breath and said, "You want to steal things from your own sect?"
"What do you mean by stealing or not? It's so harsh to say that. What belongs to Qinghun Sect is my master's! What belongs to my master will still be mine in the future!"
Long Aotian seriously corrected Xu Ercong's slip of the tongue: "We are taking! We are borrowing! We are not stealing!"
Xu Ercong sighed and remained silent for a long time before he said, "A traitor has emerged from the Qinghun Sect!"
