["I'm not listening. I don't believe anything will really happen,"] True_Spiritual_Sound immediately picked a side.
["Agree with True_Spiritual_Sound. I'm not standing with that profiteer either."]
Wood_Wind sent a high-five emoji.
True_Spiritual_Sound sent a high-five emoji back. High-five successful.
["Believe it or not, nobody's begging you. Anyway, I'm standing with Boss Ethan,"] Boss Stone sneered, ["You'll be the ones who suffer later!"]
["I'm with the Lord too!"], Player Shredded Potato.
["I, Dark Night Gray Night, support Boss Ethan!"]
The people in the Regional Channel quickly split into two factions.
Ethan naturally didn't want to care about the life or death of the opposing camp, but unfortunately these people were tied to his direct interests. If they died, he'd be in trouble too.
Left with no choice, Ethan sent a provoking message in the group, ["Thanks to everyone who's willing to trust me and stand on my side."]
["Next, I'll reveal one more piece of information to my supporters."]
["That information is…"]
At this point, Ethan deliberately paused.
Then he chose to @ a few people.
Ethan @Dark Night Gray Night, Painting Window Sending Zither, Rinji, Very Sweet Girl…
He even deliberately included two of his opponents, Very Sweet Girl and Rinji, in a private chat, ["I received some information about the Extreme Cold Night companion creature, Ice Gall. This Ice Gall is extremely afraid of high temperatures. Normally it hides in ice and snow, disguising itself as part of the snow."]
["But once it encounters heat, it retracts its spikes and quickly burrows into the snow to escape, looking for another hiding spot."]
["So after you go home, you can make some torches and search for Ice Gall around your house."]
["When exposed to heat, Ice Gall will start fleeing. That's when you can use a weapon to kill it."]
["I heard food made from Ice Gall tastes pretty good."]
["Since you're my loyal supporters, I'll buy Ice Gall from you at a high price. Sell me however many you catch, and you can exchange them for meat or materials."]
["But don't tell the opposition about this, in case they think I'm trying to harm them or something again."]
["And I'm not some saint. I'm not going to help people who just attacked me."]
["So just keep it to yourselves."]
Ethan said this on purpose.
Among the few "traitors" he had @-ed, Very Sweet Girl immediately jumped out after hearing what Ethan said and ran to the Regional Channel, shouting, ["Heh! Let me tell you all, your so-called good Lord wishes everyone who opposes him would just die."]
["Very Sweet Girl, that's enough. What do you mean by that?"], Ethan's supporter Broad Heart immediately stepped out to object, ["Why are you slandering him for no reason."]
["What do I mean? Don't you have any idea?"]
Very Sweet Girl sneered, ["Do you know that your dear Lord just deliberately @-ed his loyal supporters and told them the method to hunt Ice Gall, and even said he'd buy it at a high price."]
["And your dear Lord deliberately hid the information from you, just so you'd go die."]
["You made that up!"], Player After the Rain Clears shot back, ["Very Sweet Girl, you said the Lord @-ed only his supporters. Then how do you know about it? Look at you. You don't seem like one of Boss Ethan's supporters at all!"]
["Haha, you'll have to ask your Lord about that,"] Very Sweet Girl sneered, ["Who knows if he accidentally @-ed the wrong person. Anyway, good luck to you all. I'm heading home to prepare to hunt Ice Gall. I heard it's top-grade food."]
[Player Ning Keyin: (@Very Sweet Girl) "Don't go! Tell us how to hunt Ice Gall first! We're on the same side. If one of us dies, that's one less. If that happens, you'll be pretty lonely opposing Ethan later!"]
["You want the information? Sure,"] Very Sweet Girl replied, ["Bring materials to exchange. I don't want much. One piece of wood is enough. Think of it as alliance dues "]
["Very Sweet Girl, do you even have any shame? You're charging for this too?"], Player Dulahan blasted her.
["You don't have to buy it. No one's begging you. Or maybe you can go beg your Lord,"] Very Sweet Girl sneered, ["All I'll say is, this information is definitely worth one piece of wood."]
[Player Ji Kunv:" (@Lord) Boss Ethan, I wasn't here just now, but I'm definitely on your side! Can you tell me the information too? I don't want to let this scumbag make money off me for nothing!"]
["Sigh! Fine!"]
Only then did Ethan show up on purpose, as if arriving late, ["Actually, I didn't plan to say anything. But I really can't stand someone like Very Sweet Girl, cursing me for charging interest while planning to make money herself."]
["So I've decided to tell everyone what I know. The reason I told you all to hurry back earlier was because of Ice Gall's nature. It appears in the snow."]
["It's snowing heavily outside right now. Soon the snow will cover the roads. Once the snow gets thick, it'll be dangerous for you to head back."]
["That's why I suggested everyone return while the snow isn't too heavy yet, then make torches."]
["Ice Gall fears fire. Just wave a torch at your doorway. If you see snow moving somewhere, stab down with a blade and you'll probably catch one. It's definitely easier and safer than hunting outside."]
["But like I said, those who catch Ice Gall can exchange it with me for meat or materials, but only if you support me. As for someone like Very Sweet Girl, forget it."]
["I, Ethan, won't raise ungrateful wolves!"]
["Don't worry, Lord. I'll always support you!"], Player Jerry immediately spoke up, ["I believe in the Lord, and I believe he truly wants to help everyone! It's just that some people don't understand and deliberately smear him. Anyway, I, Jerry, am not that kind of person!"]
Standing next to Jerry, Very Sweet Girl rolled her eyes at her man, "Really? For a few Ice Galls, you're going to kneel and flatter Ethan like this?"
"Hah! Woman's thinking. What do you know!"
Jerry shot back, "You think I'm doing this just for a few Ice Galls? Let me tell you, this is called infiltrating the enemy, understanding their every move. Only then can we know their next step."
"That actually makes sense," Hearing this, Very Sweet Girl grabbed Jerry's hand, "Then hubby, let's hurry back now! It'll be dark soon. It'll be hard to catch Ice Gall after that."
"Let's go, let's go! We're leaving now!"
