Chapter 117, Gang in Gang
After experiencing the baptism of the forum turmoil, Ning Yuan got in touch with Wu Yitian and Qin Hanhai as soon as he entered the game.
The three of them can now be said to be brothers and sisters who are sympathetic to each other, so it is inevitable that there will be an inexplicable sense of intimacy after meeting again.
After that incident, the Five Emperors Alliance was already in name only, although the Holy Alliance contract signed between the five could not be dissolved, but Feng Tianyu and Zhou Tengyun had already drawn a line with them, so the three of them had to find a few "reliable" allies again.
Although Wang Zhong was not able to achieve his wish this time, he still promoted Feng Tianyu and Zhou Tengyun to the Silver Phoenix Palace, and correspondingly, after offending Wang Zhong, Ning Yuan and the three of them may be difficult to be promoted to the Silver Phoenix Hall in their lives.
However, although Wang Zhong was able to prevent them from being promoted to the Silver Phoenix Palace, he couldn't kick them out of the Black Phoenix Palace, there was no way, who told the entire Phoenix Hall not to recognize the existence of the Black Phoenix Palace.
After years of development, although it is still a major institution for the Phoenix Hall to test the peripheral members, there are already many independent gang organizations inside, and many of them are still working against the Phoenix Palace.
There are many single licking dogs who want to join the Phoenix Palace, but not everyone in the Phoenix Hall wants them, they only absorb some members who are loyal to the Phoenix Palace, so many licking dogs that do not meet the recruitment conditions are brushed down.
Among these people who were brushed down, some of them left the Black Phoenix Hall and joined other guilds after being disheartened.
Some people chose to stay and do all kinds of bad things as members of the Black Phoenix Palace, trying to discredit the entire Phoenix Hall and take revenge for the shame of being brushed down.
These people who stayed to take revenge gradually gathered together, and finally formed a gang within a gang, they were not only outnumbered, but also not afraid of death when they fought, so even the Phoenix Hall had no way to take them, so they could only let them stay in the Black Phoenix Hall to be powerful.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that the Phoenix Hall does not recognize the existence of the Black Phoenix Hall to the outside world, so over time, people have become accustomed to the existence of these gangs.
The most famous gang in the Black Phoenix Hall is called the Blood Phoenix, which means the blood-stained phoenix.
Blood Phoenix has been working against the Phoenix Hall since its establishment, and in its heyday, the registered members of this organization once exceeded 100,000, and many depressed licking dogs have joined this organization to take revenge on the Phoenix Palace.
However, with the continuous growth of their minds, many licking dogs gradually lost their interest in revenge on the Phoenix Hall after finding their other half, so they left the Black Phoenix Hall one after another.
With the departure of these people, the current scale of the Blood Phoenix Organization is not as large as before, and now there are only a few thousand people left.
Although Wang Zhong was only a small role in the Golden Phoenix Palace, offending Wang Zhong was equivalent to offending the entire Phoenix Palace, so it was basically impossible for Ning Yuan and the three of them to join the Phoenix Palace.
Now there are only two ways left for them, either choose to leave the Phoenix Hall and find another way to make a living, or simply join a gang similar to the Blood Phoenix Organization and fight against the Phoenix Hall to the end.
It is said that there are two paths, but in fact, there is only one left, because with the current reputation of the three of them, there is absolutely no big guild that will take them in, so joining the gang in the Black Phoenix Hall is their only choice now.
Although there were countless gangs in the Black Phoenix Palace, after some discussion, the three of them decided to join the Blood Phoenix organization together.
Although the blood phoenix is not as good as before, but the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse after all, and there are still 3,000 nails in the broken boat, maybe when, this blood phoenix will suddenly awaken, and then restore its previous glory?
At that time, those of them who joined the Blood Phoenix Organization in difficult times will be transformed into heroes of the founding of the country.
However, the organization of the blood phoenix does not mean that you can join it, in order to ensure the purity of the members of the organization, the founder of the blood phoenix left a condition for joining: anyone who wants to join the blood phoenix must pay a vote.
This so-called vote is to kill a member of the Phoenix Palace, or to fight with the Phoenix Palace, as long as one of them is met, you can unconditionally join the Blood Phoenix Organization.
Although Ning Yuan and the others ruthlessly cheated Wang Zhong, they actually did not meet the conditions for joining the Blood Phoenix Organization, and even many members of the Blood Phoenix Organization looked down on them very much, after all, no one would like a teammate who might betray them at any time.
However, the Blood Phoenix Organization did not refuse the participation of Ning Yuan and the three of them because of this, because barbarism and civilization were different from those previous games, and the identity of Ning Yuan and the three of them was still the player lord.
In those virtual games in the past, it was simply common for players to fight each other, and if the anger between the two sides came up, they could fight from morning to night, for many months in a row.
But barbarism is different from civilization, although there are also a large number of adventure players in this game, but the mainstream of the game is still the lord player, and the adventurer player is just a foil.
If lord players want to fight each other, they must start a plane war, and in addition to consuming a large number of war points, they also need to prepare various materials in advance, so the war is not something that players can fight if they want to.
The Stone Age is relatively better, as long as you prepare three days of dry food, the player lords can start a war at any time.
The Bronze Age is more complicated, and as the war lengthens and the player lord's strength increases, it is necessary to be prepared for an invasion war, or it will likely be gone.
It is precisely because of the above restrictions that the conditions for the Blood Phoenix Organization to accept people will not work in barbarism and civilization.
It is impossible for them to ask those player lords who want to join the Blood Phoenix to take the initiative to attack the player lords of the Phoenix Palace, if they really ask for this, I am afraid that the Blood Phoenix will no longer have lord players to join.
For adventurer players, the blood phoenix can still ask for it as before, but for lord players, they must relax the conditions, otherwise they will really not be able to receive people.
Although Ning Yuan and the three of them had some problems in terms of character, they were all members of the Black Phoenix Palace, and most of the members of the Blood Phoenix Organization could still understand this, after all, they all knew how dark the Phoenix Palace was, and to some extent, they and Ning Yuan could be said to be in the same disease.
Now that Ning Yuan and the three of them had completely stood on the opposite side of the Phoenix Palace, several leaders of the Blood Phoenix Organization finally agreed to absorb the three of them after a short discussion.
Of course, absorption is absorption, for Ning Yuan and the three of them, most of the members of the Blood Phoenix Organization are still vigilant, after all, the three of them all have criminal records, unless Ning Yuan and the three can make some achievements, it will be difficult to change everyone's opinion of them.
For everyone's distrust, Ning Yuan and the three of them are also mentally prepared, after all, they are not authentic in Wang Zhong's matter, so they understand this.
In order to reverse the members' opinion of them, Ning Yuan and the three of them said on the spot, as long as everyone didn't treat them as fools like Wang Zhong, when the members of the Blood Phoenix encountered difficulties, they would definitely help each other.
In this way, Ning Yuan and the three of them joined the Blood Phoenix Organization and went further and further away from the Phoenix Palace.
Chapter 118: People must rely on themselves
After experiencing the Wang Zhong incident, Ning Yuan summed up a philosophy of life: allies are unreliable, and people must rely on themselves.
Although Ning Yuan played a disgraceful role in the Wang Zhong incident, it was precisely in that disgraceful position that would make him see it more clearly.
So-called allies are simply people who have come together because of common interests, and when common interests are violated, they will unite to fight against foreign enemies.
But when personal interests are seriously violated, the relationship between allies is put to the test.
Some people may choose to kill themselves and sacrifice themselves to protect the entire alliance, but many more may choose to protect themselves.
Human nature is selfish, and selfless people do not exist, but there are too few.
Without affecting their own interests, most people can still distinguish between right and wrong, and they are willing to give some to jointly maintain the operation of the alliance.
But when personal interests are threatened, the selfish side of human nature gradually takes over, and people tend to prioritize their own interests, and they will prioritize the losses they will suffer.
When this loss exceeds the psychological limit of what they can bear, betrayal will become easy.
Just like when Feng Tianyu invited Ning Yuan to do the mission together, Ning Yuan also sincerely wanted to help Wang Zhong take down the enemy at the beginning, after all, he had absolute confidence in his own strength, but when he had to face a large number of personnel losses caused by the siege, he finally retreated.
The gap between the benefits given by Wang Zhong and what Ning Yuan needs to pay is too big, at this time the selfish side of Ning Yuan's character came out and completely gained the upper hand, and then he naturally chose to betray.
Like Ning Yuan, Wu Yitian and Qin Hanhai also chose to betray.
The three of them had not communicated with each other beforehand, but they all made the same choice, why did this happen?
That's because they are all selfish people, they all have a selfish side, and when their own interests are seriously threatened, they will prioritize their own interests, so they will invariably choose to betray.
And it is precisely because of being a betrayer that he has personal experience, so Ning Yuan will see all this more clearly and thoroughly.
Why did Wang Zhong fail, wasn't it because his own strength was not strong enough?
If his own strength is strong enough, then he doesn't have to trick Feng Tianyu at all, if he doesn't trick Feng Tianyu, then he won't be betrayed by Ning Yuan and the others, in the final analysis, all this can only be blamed on his own strength not being strong enough.
Then some people may say, aren't those big guild worker bees representatives of selfless dedication? Didn't they give everything they had for the development of the guild?
On the surface, this is indeed the case, but don't forget that in reality, the Great Guild has an inseparable interest in each official member.
Every worker bee is not really selfless, their guild will make some material compensation to them in reality, these compensation is the relationship between their interests, if there is not enough compensation, I am afraid that only a fool will take the initiative to fulfill others.
Ning Yuan now understands that their allies, who have no intersection in reality, are very fragile, and once there is a large conflict of interest, these so-called allies are unreliable, so if he wants to survive in this chaotic era, the only thing he can rely on is himself.
Only when his own strength is strong can he defeat all the invaders, so that those ambitious lord players will not dare to invade his plane easily.
However, although allies may be unreliable at critical moments, they also have their own value in existence.
When everyone has a common interest, they will take the initiative to unite together, as the saying goes, there is great strength in numbers, and sometimes deterrence is also a terrible weapon, and it can also contain a large number of enemies.
If Ning Yuan really encountered an irresistible enemy, as long as he could pay a sufficient price, his allies would definitely do their best to help him.
After all, the meaning of everyone's existence is to constantly strive for enough benefits for themselves, as long as the interests are big enough, then everyone may take risks at any time and become an outlaw.
In the same way, the same is true for Ning Yuan, when his allies need his help, he will also prioritize what he can get, without enough benefits, he will definitely not help others selflessly.
