People in Zongman: Building a foundation to accommodate all worlds

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little weird.

At this moment, Kayaba Akihiko really wanted to ask Gu Zeyuan what he was laughing at.

But after opening his mouth, he still held it in.

Even though he has a strong psychological quality, he still feels a little guilty.

“If you have any opinions, please raise them and we can discuss them.”

Kayaba Akihiko tried to keep himself serious and spoke.

Gu Zeyuan shook his head.

"No problem at all, please continue."

Kayaba Akihiko stared at Gu Zeyuan for a while, then looked away.

Finger swipe.

A piece of information was shared with all the players present.

That is the map information and images of the nineteen-level maze area.

What surprised everyone was...

It was clearly a maze area, but on the map, it was marked as 'guild territory'.

Normally, this area is not allowed to be used as a guild territory.

"This information comes from an anonymous player. In order to protect this player, please understand."

"He returned to the nineteenth floor to obtain some low-level materials, but found this base in the maze."

"Afterwards, the Blood Alliance Knights sent out several players with high agility to investigate the situation. It turned out that this was the base of the Laughing Coffin."

"It should be that after the main players left the low-level area of ​​the 19th floor, they used special props to transform the maze area into a guild base."

"Because almost no players go to explore the lower level maze 22, we have not been able to find the guild base of 'Laughing Coffin'."

Upon hearing this, all the players present were shocked.

Now the players of SAO can be divided into three categories.

Players in the strategy group are active at the highest level, leveling up and collecting materials, and preparing for strategy matters.

Non-combat players completely give up on strategies, regard SAO as the world they live in, and only move around in the bottom town areas.

Life players, logistics players and ordinary players kill monsters to upgrade or collect materials at mid and high levels.

Regardless of which one it is, the lower-level maze areas are almost deserted.

I can only say that Smiling Coffin’s decision making is amazing.

After all, killing players will turn them into red names and they will not be able to enter the town.

It is necessary to rest and repair equipment at the guild base.

If the base is discovered and the players in the strategy group rush over, the destruction of Smiling Coffin is only a matter of time.

Gu Zeyuan was a little curious at this time.

Was the base of the Smiling Coffin really discovered by chance?

Or the so-called anonymous players are simply fictitious.

It was Kayaba Akihiko who wanted to promote conflict among players, so he used his authority to disclose information.

Gu Zeyuan is more inclined to the latter.

However, this is fine.

Gu Zeyuan was happy to see the conflict between the strategy team and the murder guild.

After all, after SAO is liberated, the new mobile task force will most likely be selected from the strategy group.

It is a good thing to have experience with people, or even to have seen blood.

After announcing the information, Kayaba Akihiko threw the topic to the players present.

Ask other people for their opinions.

Everyone looked at each other and turned their gazes to Gu Zeyuan.

The strategy team has been following Gu Zeyuan for years and has really given in.

"Our level is generally higher than that of the Smiling Coffin, and our number of people is nearly twice as many."

"With such an advantage, we just need to find their base and force them to go to jail."

"Even if a conflict does come up, we will never be at a disadvantage in the fight."

Asuna analyzed, then looked at Gu Zeyuan inquiringly.

Others probably think the same way.

The level of the strategy group is generally seven or eight levels higher than that of other players, or even more than ten levels.

There is a huge gap in the numbers.

Furthermore, the strategy group has more than 50 people, and the entire Smiling Coffin Guild only has more than 30 people.

The advantage is mine!

It looks like a dragon riding on the face, how can you lose?

However, Gu Zeyuan shook his head.

"From a rational point of view, this is correct. But the existence of human beings cannot be measured rationally."

Asuna was stunned for a moment, then became confused.

Argo began to understand what Gu Zeyuan meant.

"I think what Yuan meant should be enlightenment."

Argo explained.

However, this explanation made everyone even more confused.

Seeing this, Argo sighed helplessly.

"It's like a normal fight, two people against one person, naturally the two people will win."

"But what if it's two ordinary people against a murderer in real life?"

"Even if the three men have similar physical qualities, the murderer won't care about anything else."

"But, ordinary people don't have the awareness to kill right away. That's the difference."

Gu Zeyuan rubbed Argo's little head approvingly.

As expected of a rat, as an intelligence agent, he is smart.

However, the conference hall fell into silence.

This issue is very realistic and acute.

It was so sharp that they couldn't ignore it and it hurt them.

Laughing Coffin is a murderous guild, and taking the lives of other players is almost commonplace.

However, among the strategy group present, almost no one has actually caused the death of any player.

Even the most stubborn person, if you ask yourself honestly, you will not be able to say something like "I am willing to kill someone".

This created hidden dangers of instability in the battle.

Gu Zeyuan remembered the original crusade against the Smiling Coffin.

Fifty people from the strategy group fought against more than thirty people from the Smiling Coffin.

As a result, thirty members of the Laughing Coffin team died, and twenty members of the Raiders team died.

It is obvious that they are overwhelmingly superior in terms of level, equipment and number of people.

In the silence, Gu Zeyuan stood up.

Everyone was immediately shocked.

Those who reacted quickly reached out their hands to stop it.

This situation has happened several times before.

Gu Zeyuan occasionally appeared at the punitive meeting.

When encountering a difficult problem, as soon as everyone falls silent, this guy stands up and leaves.

Then the boss was defeated by this guy alone.

This sense of déjà vu made them almost certain that if they didn't stop him, this guy would kill his way to the Smiling Coffin's base alone.

No matter how unhappy I am with Gu Zeyuan.

No one present could let Gu Zeyuan deal with the Murder Guild on his own.

Being stopped, Gu Zeyuan frowned in confusion.

"what happened?"

He has to give the strategy team a push.

We cannot allow the attacking team to be forced into a life-or-death crisis during the battle, where they would break the bottom line in the form of self-preservation.

But it is truly enlightened.

This is very important.

Everyone in the strategy group was speechless for a moment.

At this time, it was Kayaba Akihiko who asked:

"Indeed, the 'awareness' you raised is indeed a question. So, do you have the awareness to kill people?"

Kayaba Akihiko asked this question out of genuine curiosity.

After all, he still believed that the death game he 433 designed was real.

They are not aware of the player's death, they are just in a coma in the real world.

He was very curious about where Gu Zeyuan's enlightenment came from.

Gu Zeyuan really wanted to give Kayaba Akihiko a thumbs up.

What a good tool man.

Don't forget to give assists at this time.

He nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, I have this awareness."

Upon hearing this, many players couldn't help but gasp.

Could it be that this guy is also a madman like Laughing Coffin?

Just when people were in panic, Gu Zeyuan continued:

"Either the Smiling Coffin will be controlled or destroyed, or other innocent players will continue to die."

"One of them has to die anyway, and it's the Laughing Coffin that's going to die, no doubt about it."

"As for taking the risk of controlling these guys, I don't feel like these guys are worth any risk to me."

"They are a group of people who kill for profit or pleasure. Their lives no longer have the same weight as those of ordinary people."

After saying this, Gu Zeyuan walked out of the meeting room.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Zeyuan walked to the square, his figure turned into a white light, and went to the nineteenth floor.

After a moment's silence, Asuna and Argo stood up at the same time and chased after him.

Then, the players in the strategy group stood up one after another and rushed to the center of the square.

Gu Zeyuan's words sounded very cruel.

The life of a murderer is regarded as a mere object with no value.

But this is the most suitable principle for human survival.
