Chapter 329 - Sulfuric Acid and Guns
After watching Pan Jinwen leave with the truck, Fang Heng turned to look at Mo Jiawei.
“In addition, we have to move ahead with our plan. We have to speed up the acquisition of sulfuric acid.”
“I’m afraid it will be very difficult.”
Mo Jiawei felt that this matter would not be easy to settle.
“Ordinary player can’t get their hands on something like sulfuric acid. Even if they could, it would be very troublesome to transport it to the prison shelter.”
“No, I can’t wait any longer. I have to get a large amount of sulfuric acid within seven days.”
Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment. He nodded and said, “Let’s directly announce the purchase of sulfuric acid to the big guilds.”
“But Fang Heng, these big guilds have joined forces to deal with us this time. Can they still provide us with sulfuric acid?”
“Simple.”
After thinking for a while, Fang Heng had another idea. He leaned over and whispered into Mo Jiawei’s ear, “Later, make a statement to the public…”
Mo Jiawei opened his mouth.
“This… do we have that many guns?”
“When we have a gun production line, we can mass-produce guns and bullets. The low-level guns in the shelter are no longer useful. We can directly exchange them with the player union for sulfuric acid.”
Mo Jiawei thought for a moment and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll do it right away.”
…
“Since Fang Heng is still in the middle of a special event, our only choice is to go all out and directly attack the prison! Destroy his base in District 8!”
He Liang was unusually emotional.
The previous team-wipe incident had already caused the bosses of the various gaming companies to distrust Crimson Technology, but it also made them more aware of the strength of the prison.
Crimson Technology had spent a lot of hard work to think of a way to reconvene the various large guilds in the Eastern region of the Federation. They had once again held a video conference in an attempt to gather the various large guilds to make a move against Fang Heng.
“I’m sorry, our Chen Xing game union, have withdrawn.”
The guild leader of Chen Xing’s game union could hear the obvious provocation in He Liang’s tone.
He shook his head and said, “With all due respect, Crimson Technology currently only has a map of the prison’s outer defense fortifications. You don’t know anything about the situation inside the prison.”
“Moreover, just dealing with the defense net at the periphery of the prison, based on my estimation, the probability of us being able to break into it is only 50%.”
The boss of another company also nodded and agreed, “President Chen is right. Whether or not we can obtain the position of the overlord in District 8 is one thing, but sending ourselves to death is another.”
“If we don’t act now, we won’t have another chance! Are you willing to let go of this opportunity? Fang Heng is still in a special event. He can’t control the zombie team to guard the prison. This is our last chance!”
He Liang’s eyes were red. He used his last strength to encourage the various player guilds that were participating in the meeting.
However, the effect was not good. No one voiced their agreement.
“Okay, even if you are willing, you are all willing to withdraw from the fight for overlord. Then, do you think Fang Heng will let you all go easily?”
“Everyone is involved in the alliance and designing the prison. Who can guarantee that Fang Heng won’t hold a grudge against you because of this and that Fang Heng will come looking for you?”
“Everyone, you all have seen the strength of the Lickers. The video is now on the forum. who dares to guarantee that your shelter will be able to defend against Fang Heng’s Lickers?”
The meeting room fell into silence again.
“Sorry to interrupt everyone, but the prison has made another move.”
In the projection, a white-haired old man held a file in his hand. He looked up and said, “Ten minutes ago, North River Heavy Industry proposed to purchase a large number of sulfuric acid resources in District 8.”
Sulfuric acid?
He Liang frowned when he heard that.
There’s something fishy!
When everyone heard North River Heavy Industry, they would subconsciously think of Fang Heng.
Everyone knew the connection between North River Heavy Industry and Fang Heng’s prison.
Immediately, someone asked in confusion, “Sulfuric acid? Why do they need so much sulfuric acid?”
“Sulfuric acid is a chemical raw material, and it is also the material used to make some special weapons. Could it be that they want to develop special weapons?”
He Liang immediately said, “No matter what their purpose is, we absolutely can not give them sulfuric acid. Not only that, we have to seal off the sulfuric acid on the market to ensure that it doesn’t end up in the hands of the prison.”
“Director He, you’re a little anxious. It’s not too late to wait for me to finish.”
The old man said and waved his hand. “In addition to the acquisition, North River Heavy Industry has also issued a statement saying that they are willing to establish a good cooperative relationship with the major gaming companies.”
“To improve the overall survivability of the players in Server 8, North River Heavy Industry has proposed to use guns and bullets to trade for sulfuric acid.”
“I’ve looked at the exchange rate. It’s very generous. I’ve sent the file to everyone.”
Guns!
When they heard the word guns, everyone had shocked expressions on their faces.
At the current stage, the number of guns in the player’s hands had always been very small.
No matter who it was, unless they were forced to, they would not take out such an important item for no reason.
Not to mention the exchange of sulfuric acid…
He Liang’s heart sank.
Fang Heng!
What was he trying to do?
“Don’t believe him…”
He Liang almost blurted out.
But he suddenly realized that no one was listening to him.
Almost everyone’s brows were tightly knitted. They kept flipping through North River Heavy Industry’s announcement and the exchange ratio, lowering their heads and thinking about something.
For a moment, He Liang suddenly thought of something. His pupils constricted.
Suddenly, he understood.
The point was not the sulfuric acid!
It was the ‘cooperation’ and the ‘guns’!
The statement issued by North River Heavy Industry had two meanings. One was to send a message to the public that the prison was willing to cooperate, that they were willing to let bygones be bygones, and that they were willing to continue cooperating.
The second was to show off their wealth, to show off their muscles and to tell the Eastern region players that they were very rich and had a large supply of guns. If they obediently cooperated with him, he would give them some points.
From the perspective of the various large companies, it was either to cooperate or not cooperate.
If they cooperated, they could exchange their unused sulfuric acid for guns. They could even use a small amount of King of Gods’ points to exchange sulfuric acid for guns. In a short period, they could greatly improve the shelter’s combat ability.
If they chose not to cooperate, not only would they lose their guns, but they would also be subjected to Fang Heng’s revenge.
This was not the worst part. Since the start of the game, the friction between the various player guilds was also gradually taking place. Every one of them was competing openly.
If the other guilds chose to cooperate with Fang Heng and obtained a batch of guns to increase their strength, but his guild did not do so…
Their shelter’s development speed would lag behind the other companies’ guilds by a large margin!
Based on experience, with just one server, there would at most be three or four overlord-level guilds. However, there were still hundreds of large and small guilds left. They could at least make a living.
To prevent Fang Heng from becoming the overlord, it was not worth the sacrifice.
Moreover, even if one was willing to sacrifice himself, what about the other guilds?
For a moment, He Liang felt a chill run down his spine.
