“Don’t lump me in with you two. Yes, we have a lot of people in our faction, but we have made a lot of enemies too.” Mia Westfield said somewhat helplessly.

“What’s going on?” Finn Lewis asked curiously.

“The situation is simple. Even though you’ve shown off a bit, the Blade alliance has been targeting us lately. They instigate fights in the wilderness every day. We have quite a few new members, but our core group is only about forty to fifty people. Although others in our faction participate in the fights, we’re just one faction and they are an alliance. We simply can’t beat them.” Mia Westfield conveyed her frustration.

“And you, after making an appearance, you’ve been off the radar, and you didn’t even bother to improve your equipment. Listen, Sawyer Mitchell, you bought so many mount gift packages already but not even a piece of equipment? That’s quite lame, don’t you think?” said someone also feeling a bit helpless.

Finn Lewis scratched his head; he simply didn’t have the time. He had bought so many of those mount gift packages that only one could be used per person, and had nothing left for equipment. In the World game, although having top-tier equipment is impressive, it isn’t quite the same as other games. Even with top-tier equipment, you can only take on two players at most, possibly three if they have regular equipment. If there are four, even if you are fully decked out in diamond-grade equipment, you’ll definitely die. It’s unlike some other mindless games where the mall directly sells super healing and mana potions. Combat becomes a game of taking potions, or more accurately, a game of spending Flame Nation coins, and the cooldown for potions in World is long.

Regardless, having top-tier equipment is truly valuable in dungeons and raids, but it’s impossible for one person to take on a guild. Of course, in the past, Finn Lewis has envied many times the people on the equipment leader board. In the past, he had no money. Now, well, Finn Lewis hasn’t had time!

“I’ll go and improve my equipment today then, and try to get it done in one night!” Finn Lewis considered and swiftly replied.

“Damn, one night, you better first cough up all those diamonds. You’ve completed the World set, but for the other diamonds, you’re going to need to open boxes.” someone else answered exasperatedly.

Finn Lewis shrugged. Diamonds were not a problem at all; he could simply buy them from the official auction house. In World there is an official trading platform. Many people save up lots of diamonds to sell for Flame Nation coins. Finn could just go and buy them, and because it’s an official platform, the data transfers instantly and the transactions are very quick.

“Alright, don’t worry about it. I’m going to get that handled now.” Finn Lewis threw out a sentence and then immediately switched off his mic and asked, “Olivia Thatcher, can you hack into the World server?”

If he has to upgrade the diamonds himself, yes he could do it, but it would be backbreaking. There are 18 pieces of equipment in total to upgrade to full diamonds, and just opening and applying diamonds would leave him exhausted, let alone the fact that there’s a chance for failure. If Olivia could hack into /VY’s server, then it would be simple.

“I can.” Olivia simply answered. While she might not be as versatile as Zero, there’s a huge difference between their abilities, much like comparing a computer from 2014 and one from 2000. The gap is just too wide.

“Don’t let them notice.” Finn couldn’t resist reminding her.

“Don’t worry about it.” Olivia replied crisply. As Finn was logging into the game and waited for about ten minutes, Olivia’s voice chimed in, “All done. The database information algorithms have been fully decrypted.”

Hearing the news, Finn couldn’t help but let out a smug laugh. If WY’s folks Imew about this, they’d probably be scared out of their wits. As a computer software student, Finn knew exactly what it meant to have the database information algorithms fully decrypted. It meant there were no secrets left about World for him. Even if he just casually killed some weak creature, it would drop an enhancement diamond!

The GM monitoring the Memory Empire server felt a bit frustrated. When a big spender emerged recently, he got a bit excited. The number of big spenders on each server is closely related to their income as GMs. After all, he was really excited when this particular big spender initially spent millions after a quarrel. But after spending that huge amount, there was no sign of the big spender.

After waiting for almost half a month with no sign, suddenly a system message popped up indicating that someone had upgraded their equipment with 13 diamonds, which prompted a server-wide announcement. The GM glanced at the ign of the person, and instantly got excited. Oh my god! Our big spender is now working on his equipment. I’ve waited so long for this!

The ign ‘Literati Saucy Poet’ is definitely famous on the server. Because of his outrageous spending on the Windward World mount packages, even Prodigal wasn’t spending like this! There are a lot of big spenders in the game, but mostly they spend on equipment and enjoy themselves. There are plenty of gamers like that. But someone like Literati Saucy Poet, who spends millions just because he got angry over a quarrel is rare, even the top spender on the server was scared off by him.

Compared to someone like Blade, Literati Saucy Poet is much more down-to-earth. He spent years on the server with shabby equipment, just like the majority of the players. After all, Literati Saucy Poet used to be just one of them, struggling each day in dungeons for new equipment.

Even though he has decided to upgrade his equipment, all players who heard the news were excited. So when the GM saw the system message, all player on the server also saw it, and the previously quiet World Channel instantly became heated, where the majority of messages were something like this:

“Wow, Brother Saucy Poet is finally upgrading his equipment. Shower him with flowers!”

“I’m waiting for Brother Saucy Poet to reach 20 diamonds.”

“I’m waiting for Brother Saucy Poet to top the equipment board.”

The World Channel got dozens of similar messages instantly, making Finn a bit embarrassed because he didn’t realize how many rich people were on the server. You see, a World Token costs five real-world coins. After someone suggested forming a line and posted a “showering flowers” emoticon, hundreds of World Tokens, all with the same “showering flowers” icon, were sent instantly. The World Channel almost got flooded with messages..
