As soon as the respawn waiting time ended, the players from No. 6 Novice Village eagerly respawned.
They walked out of the respawn point with longing for the otherworld and hatred for the black dragon.
"The air in this otherworld is so fresh... ugh..."
This former Sakura No. 6 Novice Village player couldn't even finish his sentence before vomiting.
It was too damn stinky.
The entire atmosphere was permeated with the acidic smell of a public toilet, mixed with the scent of gunpowder.
This odor was like a heavy club, striking the Sakura players on their heads, stunning them instantly.
They looked around.
They discovered that Sakura Island's No. 1 Novice Village was situated in a crater, with buildings almost completely destroyed.
How was this any different from their No. 6 Village?
The only difference was that Village No. 1 had coffins, while their Village No. 6 was essentially a naked burial.
While the Sakura players were still confused, the sound of flapping wings came from the sky.
In the distant sky, a black shadow gradually grew larger.
That black dragon had come again.
"Gentlemen! We cannot continue like this!"
A Sakura player stepped forward with this outcry.
"May I ask how many Invasion Points you all have left? If we continue dying like this, the respawn time will keep getting longer."
"We will starve to death waiting in the World Plaza!"
These two sentences hit the nail on the head.
Many players had already realized this point, but they hadn't spoken about it.
Now that the wound was completely exposed, all the players felt a chilling coldness.
The otherworld was not lawless.
If they continued like this, they would truly perish.
"So, what should we do?"
The black dragon was getting closer, and the players could already see its shining throat.
"Let's negotiate with the black dragon!"
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!"
The player who first stepped forward proposed a very constructive suggestion, which received unanimous approval from the Sakura players.
They decided to try negotiating with the black dragon.
...
Above Sakura Island's No. 1 Novice Village.
Su Nian was overlooking the entire Sakura Island No. 1 Novice Village.
This time, he didn't immediately launch an attack.
Because these players' behavior was very strange.
They had taken off their armor, and even removed their white boxer shorts, holding them in their hands and waving them vigorously at him.
Was this... surrender??
No, it's too much, I can't take it! It burns my eyes!
"Anna, don't look down."
"Mm-hmm..."
"Brother, Anna doesn't know what happened, but suddenly she can't see anything~"
Anna obediently responded to Su Nian.
She curled up in her exclusive space, covering her eyes with her two soft hands.
Her fluffy fox tail from behind covered her front.
Instantly, Anna disappeared.
She turned into a ball of snow-white "rice dumpling."
"Now Anna can only see Brother~"
Anna's soft, sweet voice came from behind.
Su Nian couldn't help but feel his tongue itch.
Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he'd washed Anna's face.
He would do it when they got back!
"Great Black Dragon Your Excellency!"
The Sakura Island players started calling out.
Su Nian lowered his flight altitude a bit, wanting to see what these Sakura players would say.
Seeing that the black dragon seemed inclined to communicate with them, all the Sakura players couldn't help but feel great joy.
It seemed they wouldn't have to die again.
The player representative who was sent out felt the same way. Full of hope, he knelt on the ground and called out to the black dragon in the sky:
"Great Black Dragon, you are so powerful. Our previous attack on your dragon's nest was just a small misunderstanding."
"We actually have no intention of being your enemies."
"We can coexist peacefully. To compensate for your losses, we are willing to offer reparations. Please feel free to make any demands!"
Su Nian understood immediately.
These players' respawn time was getting longer and longer after death.
Now they couldn't take it anymore.
They wanted to negotiate with him?
Negotiation was good!
Su Nian expressed that he loved negotiations.
He flew to a position closer to the players, ensuring that the shadow cast by his enormous body completely covered these densely packed Sakura players huddled together.
This way, Anna wouldn't be able to see anything no matter what.
He was afraid Anna might accidentally see something and have nightmares at night. Besides, Anna should only be looking at him.
"Lowly worms! I accept the negotiation!"
"My demands are very simple."
A mocking curve appeared on the black dragon's ferocious face, with his pale golden dragon eyes filled with brutality and majesty.
"First: You shall compensate me with 100,000 gold coins and three Golden Chest keys!"
"Second: Cede your village as territory for my dragon's nest."
"Third: I will dispatch monsters to station in your village, but you must regularly pay protection fees."
The Sakura Island players were shocked by the black dragon's exorbitant demands. They discussed among themselves, their faces showing hesitation and resentment.
The first condition was acceptable.
It was just about paying to avoid disaster.
Although it was quite a lot of money.
But as long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about firewood.
As for the second and third conditions, they were excessive. This was about completely ruling over them as humans!
Could the Sakura players tolerate this?
They believed in the Bushido spirit!
A warrior may be killed but not humiliated; they absolutely could not agree.
"Black Dragon Your Excellency, we can agree to the first demand, but can the second and third be more lenient?"
The Sakura Island player representative, with a flattering face, tried to negotiate with the black dragon hovering in the sky.
His heart was also racing at this moment.
Fearing that the black dragon might burn them all with one breath.
"Kekeke... Sure, no problem~"
"You only need to agree to the first condition. The remaining two conditions are actually not important."
Su Nian appeared to be very accommodating, readily agreeing, but his dragon eyes concealed cunning and murderous intent.
The Sakura Island players couldn't help but feel great joy.
This brutal black dragon was so reasonable?
If they had known, they would have tried to reduce the first condition as well.
But it was too late now.
They had over four thousand people.
Gold coins and golden keys could be exchanged with Invasion Points in the shop.
They could barely gather 100,000 gold coins and three golden keys.
"Please wait a moment. We will prepare the compensation for you immediately. We hope we can turn hostility into friendship and develop together on this vast plain!"
The Sakura player said some nice words, then immediately got busy. Soon, he exchanged the gold coins and Golden Chest keys that the players had crowdfunded.
"Um, Black Dragon Your Excellency! Where should we place these compensations?"
"Just put them in front of me."
Su Nian descended from the sky, his black sharp dragon claws crashing onto the ground, shaking the entire Novice Village and sending people flying.
But Anna on his back was constantly protected by him, barely feeling any vibration. """
