Chapter 344: Uneasy Turmoil
"Has something happened to the bell recently?"
Looking at the back of the bell who was leaving, Rhode raised his brows with curiosity, then turned to Christie and asked. In the face of Rhode's inquiry, Christie was slightly silent for a moment, and then said.
“……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"There are more people? Is there any problem with this?"
Of course, Rhodes knew that with the increase in the number of immigrants, more and more people lived in Grantia. This is not surprising. Although Rhodes did not intend to make Grantia a ghost town, he did not intend to turn it into a bustling and prosperous metropolis. As long as it plays its role as the political center of the Void, it is naturally other regions responsible for solving these problems. But even so, Grantia is still a very peaceful city, but Rhodes can't figure out what it has to do with Ling's strange behavior. Could it be that Ling is the kind of homegirl who is not used to staying in crowded places? But it didn't look like it at all before.
“……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Although Christie's voice was very small and almost inaudible, Rhode still easily heard her voice, which made Rhode stunned. But soon, he also learned the meaning hidden in Christie's words. Perhaps because Ling has always been too calm and honest, Rhode subconsciously forgot that she was just a child about the same age as Christie and Little Bubble Gum. Moreover, she is alone now, and the demise of the shelter has cut off the last trace of connection between Ling and her relatives. Now she has no relatives, and it can be said that in this world, Ling is only herself.
Christie obviously empathized with this. After all, her experience was not much better than Ling. Even worse. If Ling could still be cared for by the elders in the shelter, then Christie had been rejected and attacked by everyone since she was born. If Rhodes and others had rescued her, she would not have been today. After that, she had also experienced similar hesitation to Ling, regardless of whether she had power or not. After all, they were just children and were eager to have a relative worth relying on. For them, there was no such thing as them.
It's more important than this. Even for a rich second-generation like Xiaoxiao Bubble Gum, Rhodes didn't feel her complaints about her family and dissatisfaction with her father in the game. Sometimes she just wants to live a more normal life. Instead of eating expensive takeaways every day at the lonely and deserted dining table, playing with her mobile phone bored, without even a person to talk. This is also why Xiaoxiao Bubble Gum is very enthusiastic and even willing to spend money after joining Starlight, because here, she can get things she has longed for but can't get.
Of course, a long time ago, Rhode keenly realized that Bubble's feelings for him were not so simple. Especially after that "unexpected exchange" that unexpectedly happened. So although Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum has always held parties under various excuses to want Rhode to appear, Rhode has never attended. In fact, few people know his true identity in the guild, and Canary is only two people, so it is not so easy for Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum to find him. And at that time, although Rhode and Canary were both together, it was not so easy for Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum to find him. And at that time, although Rhode and Canary were both, they were not as good as that.
Very close, but I never thought about making little bubblegum - he was still not grateful for being caught by the police and eating in a cell. And Rhode knew very well that the reason why little bubblegum was pestering him was quite planning to "Since no one cares about me at home, I will start a family by myself." If he got on the little bubblegum pirate ship, I'm afraid this little guy would immediately make the rice and then talk to him about marriage... In this regard, she and Canary are completely different types.
Left-behind children in single-parent families are a chronic disease of society... Rhode didn't expect that he would face the same problem when traveling to another world. It seems that some social contradictions do have something in common. However, now, Christie has integrated into a new environment, but Ling is obviously still wandering outside, and I don't know whether she should accept all this. Perhaps it was because she saw those families with children before that, deep down in her heart.
However, Rhodes had no good idea for this. After all, Ling didn't join here for a long time, and she was a cautious and introverted child. Unless she was willing to express similar ideas, Rhodes would not be able to force her.
"I understand, Christie. She will give it to you. Now she is here, and you are the only friend."
In the end, Rhode could only sigh helplessly. If he didn't take the first step, it would be difficult to say something. He could do nothing about it. He could only slowly change the idea of bell by subtle means. Now, only Christie can be with her side.
“…………………………………………………”
Hearing Rhode's words, Christie nodded obediently. She understood what Rhode meant. After receiving Christie's answer, Rhode also smiled and stroked her head. He still trusted Christie very much. Perhaps others thought that this girl was just an ordinary child, but Rhode knew very well that Christie was a person who paid great attention to commitment in her bones. Once she promised others what she wanted to do, she would definitely work hard to do it. And this time, she would not disappoint herself.
The transformation of Ling was just a small episode. After handing her over to Christie to take care of her, Rhode turned his gaze to other directions. As the Creation Dragon, there are many things in the Void Corps that need to be handled by themselves, and these are far more important than Ling's affairs. The most troublesome thing is that the turmoil begins to arise inside the Void Corps at this moment.
The so-called "can only share the suffering but not share the joys. Now, such problems have arisen in Rhodes' territory. As the situation gradually eases, the Void Leader gradually begins to prosper, and some problems that did not appear before gradually appear before Rhodes. These problems also make Rhodes feel a little headache.
"You mean, Delit put those Gryons in?"
When Rhodes heard Qilian's report, his face became slightly gloomy. Observing Rhodes' expression, Qilian nodded.
"Yes, master. But Thor and Lando stopped the person because we had made a decision before. It was forbidden to enter the Grans."
"Yes, I made this decision."
Hearing Qilian's report, Rhode nodded. He made the decision to prohibit the Greons from entering the country, while the little bubble gum and canary raised their hands to agree. The Greons are a nomadic group wandering on the mainland. They can't stay anywhere for a long time. The reason is very simple. They are not welcomed anywhere. At the beginning, they will ask the other party to allow them to live in groups as a very pitiful person, and then they will stay here after the other party is kind. However, these people never abide by local laws and regulations, but stubbornly insist on using their own customs. It would be fine if they were just like this.
They even forced the locals to follow their customs, and once the other party opposed it, they would punish them. This made many places very angry with this group of outsiders, who had been expelled countless times, but they remained deadly. As players, Rhodes, Canary and Little Bubble Gum also had a very personal understanding of what this group of people is. Whether they insisted or not is their own problem, but it would be another matter if they harassed others. Therefore, since the Void Corps began to accept refugees, Rhodes issued a death order and refused to let the Gryons enter the country. Once someone smuggled and expelled directly, those who dared to resist would kill them.
Marin could understand Rhodes' order more or less, and although the others were not very clear, since this proposal was unanimously recognized by Rhodes, Canary and Little Bubble Gum, Marin did not object, and it was probably not a bad thing, so she continued to execute it.
But Rhodes did not expect that someone would dare to cross the line and violate the ban?
"What's the matter?"
Rhodes did not make a decision immediately. In the game, various conflicts emerged in the guilds, especially with the development and growth of the guild, the showdown between the veterans and new forces is always inevitable. Some people think that they have been following the guild since its inception. They have no credit and hard work. The guild cannot say that they give up. Otherwise, is there any human touch? Some people think that the so-called position is naturally the one who can rank, and my ranking is higher than you and the output is better than you. Why do you lead the team instead of me? And you don’t go to the line twice a week. Could it be that if you want to make a dungeon, you have to wait for you to enter the book? Who do you think you are?
This is a problem that many big guilds face. If they don’t handle it well, it is easy to cause disputes. If they are too biased towards the elderly, they will make the latecomers feel disappointed. They will feel that the guild is unfair and is completely a hairy group. But if they are too biased towards the newcomers, they will feel dissatisfied. They think that they have worked hard and made great contributions, so why should they surrender behind those newcomers? Perhaps their skills are good enough, but can they have a heart that loves the guild like themselves? Can they guarantee their loyalty to the guild? Don’t in the end the guild has to work hard to equip the other party with everything. If the other party pats his butt and is poached by other guilds, it will be a waste of money?
The Internet is a virtual world, but because of the virtual world, people often lack the constraints in reality. In the real world, not many people dare to slap the table and fry the boss when they are in a bad mood. But in the online world, if you don’t speculate, you may directly withdraw and block the blacklist. At worst, you won’t be able to die and never interact with each other. Who do you think you are?
This is also the reason why many purely player guilds cannot grow and grow. One of them is that they are too virtual. If all netizens know each other online, then there is no basis for trust. However, if it is a guild formed by acquaintances in reality, then there will naturally develop towards the old-fashioned group, making it difficult to obtain fresh blood, and eventually collapse under the pressure of other large guilds.
Most of the large guilds that have developed have "interest connections" with each other in reality, such as studio alliances, or organizations that earn rewards and dividends through part-time jobs. Rhode's Starlight is no exception. The reason why his Starlight can grow and grow into the first guild in the end is that in addition to Rhodes and others' high-tech skills, the small bubble gum spending money also plays a very important role. In addition, Rhodes Starlight has repeatedly won various awards in the official competition of Dragon Soul Continent. Invisibly, it is also a "semi-official image organization", which is rich, famous, status, and strength. Only when these are combined can they finally be formed and expanded, making Starlight the first guild.
After traveling to this world, Rhodes first instinctively took out the way to manage the Internet guild, but then he found that there was a big difference between reality and the Internet. Although people in this world would also have intrigue, the lower class people were basically loyal and simple. They were the type that basically did not rebel unless officials forced the people to rebel. So after that, he completed the construction of Xingguang and even the entire power organization based on his own ideas and the opinions of "local people" such as Marlene, and the results have always been good. Perhaps because he was facing a considerable crisis and their benefits were also very rich, the atmosphere inside Xingguang was still relatively harmonious.
But now it seems that what is time to come is still here.
Of course, Rhodes doesn't think that Delit does not know his regulations. Rhodes' habit is that every time he issues any laws and regulations, he will explain to the people below clearly why he does this. Unless he intends to secretly use some conspiracy, Rhodes is basically honest and open. He does not ask the other party to accept it, but as long as he can understand his meaning, the Grien people are a cancer on the mainland, a big disaster. Haven't you seen them occupy the land west of the Kingdom of Light
After that, they kept showing off their power. If the Land of Light dares to do something to them, these guys would either gather to riot or protest against the Land of Light's "racial discrimination", which made them anxious. Even if the local government wants to expel them, the Council of Light believes that their approach is "politically incorrect", which makes them unable to stare at them. They can only watch these cancer cells turn into benign tumors, then develop into malignant tumors, and then drag down the entire territory but are powerless.
"Delite thinks that Thor and others are too rude, and he thinks that these refugees should accept them from war. And..." As he said, Qi Lian smiled proudly. Like Rhodes, once this cunning fox smiled proudly, there was no good thing. "......... There are many people supporting him, most of them are ordinary members. It seems that Mr. Deelite is very popular among the people."
"snort………"
Hearing this, Rhode snorted coldly. Although Qi Lian was very obscure, he also knew what she meant. Xingguang’s biggest flaw was that it was from a mercenary guild, and most of the mercenaries were big and rough, and basically had no cultural knowledge. Rhode still remembered that except for a limited number of people such as Marlene, the entire mercenary guild could not find a dilemma in the entire mercenary guild. Therefore, with the increasing expansion of Rhode’s power, he had a much greater demand for those "intellectuals". Those mercenaries who only know how to fight and kill can only be positions such as captains of the personal guards or instructors who train recruits. The rank and position are not very high, but in contrast, among the senior talents around Rhode, there are many people with qualifications than those
Mercenaries are old, but some people are very young. For example, Marin's deputy An, was just a lady from a wealthy businessman before, but now she has become the treasurer of the entire region of the Void Territory. She is one year younger than Marin. As a civil servant, she never goes to the front line and there is no question of fighting and killing. Even Thor, Soth and others have the experience of leading a force, so they can barely reach the middle level. But they can only end here, because what Rhodes needs next is talents who can face communication between countries, and these are obviously not competent for a mercenary. Therefore, it is almost a foregone conclusion that those latecomers come to the front. And of course not everyone likes it.
And now, those latecomers are obviously using this to express their dissatisfaction.
However, it was not their thoughts that made Rhodes unhappy. After all, it was normal for humans to have such thoughts. Even in Rhodes' world, the little bullies in the school looked down on top students and thought they would pretend to be good at children and be praised by teachers. In fact, what else can they do besides studying hard? This idea has been the same in any world throughout history. But what made Rhodes most unhappy was that they took a bargaining chip that was the least suitable for them to express their opinions. Gryn was like shit, and they couldn't get rid of them if they stepped on it. If they took the opportunity to take root in the Void, even if Rhodes wanted to expel them at that time, it would be very difficult.
"What should I do now? Rhodes? Do we want us to expel them?"
"……………not busy."
Hearing Qi Lian's answer, Rhode shook his head with a gloomy face. Now this matter is not suitable for big things. Once Ion finds out, it will be troublesome. Now the two sides are confronting each other, and such a problem occurs in their territory. If Rhode overreacts, then Ion may bite back. By then, the initiative will not be in Rhode's hands.
Thinking of this, Rhodes made a decision.
"Let's wait and see what's going on."
PS: I've had a headache recently...
