Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 518: Heroes Conference
Jinghai City——Tiandu Hotel.
Murphy stood on the rooftop of the hotel, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the traffic below. Although he was more than a hundred meters above the ground, with the vision of the Ancient Dragon's Eye, he could see the scene on the street below clearly.
Luxury cars kept stopping in front of the hotel, and players who were attending the party got out. There were very few ordinary people among the players who played the hero template, and the cars they drove were better than the other.
Looking at the players who kept arriving, Murphy nodded secretly in his heart. It was not bad. There were quite a few people coming to the Heroes Conference this time.
Suddenly, several cars stopped with a click. A sturdy bald man took the lead and walked down, followed by several men. People who got off the other cars also followed the bald man, obviously they were together.
Murphy felt that the face looked somewhat familiar. Even though it was a human face, he could still vaguely see the features of Badao Wuqing.
This is it.
Ba Dao Wu Qing looked at the hotel in front of him and said with high spirits, but Grog Xie Yan beside him showed little interest, "Boss, I still think we should unite with the Lich King. Gul'dan is my teacher and was once a member of the Horde. I'll tell him that we can definitely unite. When the time comes, the Scourge will fight in the front and we will fight for territory in the back. Wouldn't that be great? Why should we cooperate with the Alliance and the Night Elf?
We were enemies before.”
Ba Dao Wu Qing curled his lips and said, "You know nothing. This is called good and evil cannot coexist, and the tribe cannot live in peace. The Scourge is an evil force. If our tribe wants to get involved with the Scourge, then we will be on the same path to the end. Don't let that turn us into evil.
Back then, the tribe led by Blackhand was a villainous force, but they were beaten to death by adventurers as soon as they left the house. Have you forgotten that?"
"What's the big deal about turning evil? Our tribe is strong and powerful now. Even without adventurers, we are still no match for them."
"Damn it, what if the adventurers turn evil? They will definitely change their business. How can we make money without adventurers?"
Adventurers are big spenders, and playing with free templates doesn’t cost much.
The tax revenue alone amounts to tens of millions every month.
There was another thing that Ba Dao Wu Qing didn't say. If they cooperated with the Scourge, Gul'dan would become the boss. Where would he fit in then?
He was acquainted with Gul'dan and knew that this guy was not the kind of person who could cooperate sincerely. Once the Alliance and the Elven elves fell, he might target the Horde next.
Therefore, the tribe still has to move closer to the camp of justice. It is okay to fight with each other at ordinary times, but it must adhere to principles on such major issues of right and wrong.
By uniting to fight against the Scourge, the Horde will have a legitimate reason to rule Azeroth.
Grog Evil Eye said helplessly, "Forget it, it's up to you. You are the chief and you have the final say."
"Nonsense, I have the final say anyway. Let's go in. Brothers, please be alert and don't let the Alliance and Dark Night look down on you."
Those who came with him were all tribal chiefs and generals. They were used to being tyrannical in the game and were somewhat influenced by it in reality. They were all dressed in black with the logo of the tribe printed on their clothes, looking like gangsters.
As the group walked into the hotel, a waiter immediately came to lead the way.
"You are here to attend the 'Heroes Conference', right? Please come this way." The waiter said with a strange look on his face while leading the way.
Ba Dao Wu Qing was stunned - a hero conference? Well, it really is a hero conference, but why does it sound so weird?
I followed the waiter into the banquet hall, and found that quite a few people were already inside.
Badao Wuqing saw at a glance that the rich second generation who had invested in the tribe was chatting with a few people with a glass of wine.
Hey, isn't this guy a cripple? How come he's fine?
The man seemed to sense Ba Dao's ruthless instruction and turned around abruptly with a look of enthusiasm on his face.
"Ah, this must be Chief Ba Dao Wu Qing. Nice to meet you."
This greeting immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, he was the leader of a camp and the attention he received was quite high.
Ba Dao Wu Qing was also very proud, "Haha, no problem, no problem. Hello everyone from the alliance, we can be said to have known each other for a long time."
Godwin shook hands with Badao Wuqing. Badao Wuqing didn't know why, but he felt that the other person was particularly warm and friendly. He looked like a good person.
"This time, facing a common enemy, I hope the chief can work together and put aside past grudges."
"Okay, okay. I didn't expect you to be a player. By the way, I don't know which hero you are in the game."
"King of Lordaeron, Godwin the Light of Light."
"Damn, you are Godwin?" Badao Wuqing was surprised. His old rival, who had fought to the death on the battlefield, turned out to be a teenager who was less than 20 years old. He really wanted to ask Godwin what was wrong with his leg, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
"Haha, I'm sorry for hiding this from you before." Godwin whispered, "You know, this is a little bit inappropriate for outsiders."
"I understand, I understand. It's okay, it's okay." Considering the series of events that happened before, Badao Wuqing knew that he was being used as a knife for others. But it didn't matter. He also made a lot of money by fighting in Yinyue City. Everyone has what they want, right?
Badao Wuqing was too embarrassed to talk about the past. The leader of the alliance invested in the tribe, and if this matter was made public, it would not be a good thing for both him and Godwin.
As they were chatting, the voice of a Frostwolf was heard.
"Ha, you are Ba Dao Wu Qing? Haha, as expected, you are as domineering as your name suggests."
Badao Wuqing turned around and saw a middle-aged man, followed by his secretary and bodyguards, striding into the venue.
This guy had the air of a successful man. Badao Wuqing felt vaguely familiar with him, as if he had seen him in some fortune magazine.
The secretary next to him whispered something in his ear, and Ba Dao Wu Qing was immediately surprised and said, "Fuck, are you the CEO of Haotian Group?"
"It is me. I didn't expect that my little reputation would make you laugh at me."
Badao Wuqing was so ashamed. No wonder this guy was so arrogant in the game. It turned out that he was the president of Haotian Group and his family had hundreds of billions.
Soon, several powerful bosses came forward to talk to him. They were all rich or noble. In comparison, he, a chief with a net worth of several small goals, was considered a poor man here.
"You are Tyrant Blade, humph, you really look like a vicious and evil person."
When Badao Wuqing looked up, he saw several fashionable beauties, all with looks above eight points, pointing at him, their faces full of contempt and resentment.
He suddenly felt unhappy.
Damn, so rude, are you kidding me? I don’t even know you.
Grogo Evil Eye on the side immediately whispered, "Those people are from the elves."
Badao Wuqing said that it was no wonder, since he had destroyed Silver Moon City before, no wonder people hated him.
However, he was a shameless person and didn't care at all. He just walked over and greeted him.
"Ladies, don't worry too much. Let's put aside the past grudges. Besides, the elf prince Xueying Chonglou has joined the tribe. We are all family from now on. If you want to come to the tribe to play, you are welcome at any time. Of course, if you insist on making an enemy of my tribe, just come. I have nothing but orc strong men under my command. I guarantee that I will serve you well."
This Ba Dao Wuqing's remarks about being a bachelor made the girls so angry that they stomped their feet but there was nothing they could do.
After Badao Wuqing's tour, he developed a lot of interpersonal relationships. Those who came to participate in the Heroes Conference were either powerful heroes or lords, nobles and even royal members of various countries.
They are all top-level consumers. Badao Wuqing distributed business cards to them all, which can be used in future business.
He chatted for a while, but found that there was only one person missing.
"Hey guys, has anyone seen Aidan from Alterac? This guy almost killed me last time. I have to give him a good fight this time."
"Are you looking for me?"
An indifferent voice suddenly sounded behind Badao Wuqing, and Badao Wuqing suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up.
A terrifying aura like that of a prehistoric beast appeared behind him vaguely.
At that moment, he felt as if he was back in the game. When he faced the Storm Dragon King, he felt a sense of oppression that seemed to be real. He shuddered. What the hell? How could it be more terrifying than in the game?
Moreover, at that time, he was surrounded by countless tribal warriors and had the powerful bodyguard Old Howl by his side. But at this moment, there was only a useless person like Grog Evil Eye beside him, and the chiefs and generals who came with him all ran to flirt with the girls with their wine glasses in their hands.
He turned around slowly , but found that there was no giant dragon behind him, only a young man with a calm expression, looking at him with a smile.
That feeling of oppression disappeared instantly, as if it was just an illusion.
"You're--Aidan?"
"Yes, it's me. Do you have something to tell me?"
Murphy walked slowly towards Badao Wuqing. With every step he took, his figure seemed to become much taller in an instant. The huge shadow made Badao Wuqing breathless.
Not an illusion!
Badao Wuqing opened his mouth, but his courage disappeared in an instant.
"Hahaha, nothing. I just want to get to know Brother Aidan. You bullied me so badly in the game. Now that we finally meet in real life, shouldn't we try to get closer to each other..."
"Haha, Brother Aidan, we finally meet. You are such a handsome man." Emperor Shenwu also came over at this time.
He was much more polite to the Shenwu Emperor Murfei, after all, they were good brothers who had fought side by side.
"Brother Shenwu Great Emperor is also very heroic."
"Haha, well said. This time when you summoned heroes from all over the world, I came here without hesitation. You want to deal with the Scourge, right? This time, my Centaur iron hooves will surely show their prowess."
"Fuck, are you Aidan?" an abrupt voice suddenly interrupted.
Murphy took a glance and recognized the other person immediately.
Voldemort himself?
This guy looks so similar to the one in the game, the only difference is that he has a bald head in the game.
"Aidan? Damn, you're finally here. I was just looking for you. What on earth did you do that day? The more I thought about it, the more it seemed wrong. This almost drove me crazy."
The Great Emperor Shenwu and Ba Dao Wuqing both looked at Voldemort , thinking, what are you talking about?
After that day, Murphy thought about why he did that. He never liked to cause trouble in the past.
When he used Soul Reconciliation on Voldemort, he did it with a completely nonchalant attitude and just did it casually.
Thinking about it afterwards, the only explanation is that as his strength increased, his mentality had changed.
To the immortal ancient dragon, all life is but passing clouds, existence like ants and dust. So what's the big deal about using a mortal wizard for an experiment?
Murphy was vaguely uneasy about this. The reason he felt uneasy was that he knew he should be uneasy. After all, his personality seemed to have changed. But deep down in his heart, he didn't really care about it. He didn't feel any uneasy emotions, just indifference.
"Nothing, just a little trick. Sometimes you have to admit that this game has a lot of magic..."
There were a lot of people coming, and they were clearly divided into several groups.
One wave from the Horde, one wave from Clear Sky City, one wave from Lordaeron, one wave from Dalaran (after all, he is a mage, and there are many players).
A group of girls from Quel'Thalas, a few pseudo-rich people from Alterac, Jian Wuhen and a few assassin heroes were hiding in the corner and whispering something. In addition, heroes from Kul Tiras, Stormwind City, and even fringe forces such as Ironforge and Gnomeregan came to the party.
More than half of the top player heroes in the entire game have arrived.
In terms of power, it includes the three major forces of the Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elf.
I just don't know how many of these people have mastered the power of origin? Murphy couldn't help but think in his heart.
At about twelve o'clock noon, the conference finally officially began.
Murphy took the lead and became the host of this conference.
"Everyone, welcome to the Sky World Heroes Conference. We have called you all here for an urgent matter. Times have changed. The arrival of the new expansion pack [Age of Disaster] means that the era of peace has ended."
An era of peace?
Everyone thought, "You call the past few years a peaceful era? The Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elf were fighting every day. What peace is that?"
Looking at some disapproving reactions below, Murphy didn't care and continued.
"I know, everyone must be thinking, peacetime? The Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elf are fighting every day, what peace is there... But compared to the Age of Disaster we are about to face, the wars in the past are really just minor ones.
Whether it is the Alliance, the Night Elf, or the Horde, they are all fighting for power and expanding their territorial influence.
No matter who wins, the world will still go on.
However, everything is different now. The world is about to face the threat of destruction, a real destruction. According to the information I got from the game company, there will be a total of four disasters in the Age of Calamity that are enough to destroy the world. The Scourge is only the first disaster, and the Burning Legion will most likely be the second disaster, followed by the third and fourth disasters.
Each of these has the potential to destroy the world—if we don’t respond proactively.”
This statement finally attracted the attention of the players, but some people still couldn't believe it.
"Not really, right? How can the villains win? In the end, heroes always defeat evil, don't they?"
“No, that’s not the case. This game has a very high degree of freedom. All history and legends are written by the players. If we don’t take an active approach and leave it alone, the evil forces will be uncontrollable.
Not to mention, there are also players among the monster forces. There are many players serving in the Scourge and the Burning Legion, as well as various different monster forces. Do you think these BOSS players want to be knocked down and beaten up every day?
Now that the Age of Disaster has arrived, they will certainly take advantage of the opportunity to rise up. Coupled with the existence of various world-destroying forces, if we continue to fight among ourselves, it is really possible that the world will be destroyed - the destruction of the sky world.
If that were the case, we would all be sinners. After all, after experiencing so many hardships in history, the Alliance and the Horde still protected this world in the end.
If the world is destroyed because of us, it would just mean we are useless, wouldn't it?
As intruders in history, we should make the world a better place, not a worse place.
It's time to put aside the disputes. We must unite and fight against all the evil forces trying to destroy the world, whether it's the Scourge or the Burning Legion, we must defeat them all!
Of course, you can also gain glory and wealth by the way, I think this is what you all want."
When Murphy said the previous words, everyone had an expression of disapproval, until the last sentence came out, and finally they all showed expressions of approval.
Murphy took everyone's reactions into consideration and thought that there were indeed too few plot-oriented players. Most players were looking to become stronger, to be in the spotlight, and to obtain equipment, expertise, skill books, and special achievements.
There are actually very few people who really want to save the world.
"The most terrifying thing about the Scourge is its powerful ability to mass-produce troops. All lives killed will be transformed into undead. Destroying a city can add hundreds of thousands of troops, and destroying a country can add millions of undead troops. Once given time to develop, the Scourge will eventually be unable to resist.
And according to information provided by two Scourge insiders, Winter is Coming and Conan the Barbarian, Gul'dan is trying to resurrect the Dragon King Galakrond. Once he completes the ritual, it will be difficult for us to fight against him.
Therefore, our best option is to take the initiative, form a coalition of three major forces, march north to Northrend, and kill the Lich King..."
