The human race horn blared in the ears of every human player.
However, this initial horn was merely the fuse. Immediately afterward, the first, second, and third voices erupted:
[Human Race Horn!]
[Human Player Tie Xiugang: "Brother Jiang, Old Tie respects you as a man. I'm uneducated—used to slaughtering pigs on Blue Star—and don't understand grand principles. But I know this: we've been hunted by aliens our whole lives. Why can't we hunt them back?"]
["I lack the power, but if I had it, I'd wipe out every alien race, root and branch! Brother Jiang, you have the power. Slaughter them without hesitation—the more, the better!"]
["That human bitch Li Xiumei? I'll take care of her for you. Li Xiumei, remember this: I'm Tie Xiugang. Come try to strip my human status, and you'll see what your grandpa does to you!"]
Immediately following:
[Human Race Horn!]
[Human Player Fang Cunshan: "Brother Jiang, slaughter them without mercy! We owe you our lives—my brothers barely survived this time. Now we want to repay you. Enough said. Li Xiumei, that petty villain, isn't worth your personal attention."]
"I'm in the same gathering point as her. As soon as I get back, I'll rally the brothers and we'll take care of that bitch!"
"Don't waste your time on such trivial matters. It's not worth the trip for that woman. Brother Jiang, just go ahead and kill her!"
"I refuse to believe it! We're the ones risking our lives fighting alien races every day, and we haven't said a word. Who does this stinking woman think she is, representing the entire human race?"
"Li Xiumei, I'm putting my word on it right here and now: if I don't kill you today, I'll spell my name backwards!"
One human race horn after another blared across the battlefield.
Purchasing a human race horn cost a hefty 300 merit points—no small sum, even for the players speaking through them.
Chen Jiang paused slightly when he heard the horns, a strange feeling stirring within him. He shook his head with a soft chuckle and casually pulled out his own human race horn.
[Human Race Horn!]
[Human Player Chen Jiang: "Stop wasting your merit points on horns. You don't have many to spare. Save them for life-saving items."]
["Whether you're human brothers in the gathering points or those hiding alone from pursuit, stay safe."]
"An opportunity has arisen. Drinks are on me, everyone!"
Scar Dog, standing nearby, clicked his tongue in admiration, a wry smile on his face. "Looks like most human players still have some sense. If they were all like Li Xiumei, it would be truly infuriating."
"That's normal," Chen Jiang said, shaking his head with a smile. "Every race has its oddballs. You just get used to it."
"Alright, enough about that. Let's get back to it."
"Right away."
Under the cover of night, they were about to systematically bombard City 18.
A true saturation bombing, leaving no corner untouched.
By dawn, they would enter the ruined city to collect their spoils of war.
The cannons roared to life once more.
The horizon lit up again with a dazzling display of fireworks, while Chen Jiang's kill count on the race kill rankings soared.
Meanwhile, in a human gathering point within the Ten Thousand Races Arena, Li Xiumei sat in an office chair, her face dark with fury. A venomous glint flashed in her eyes as she slammed her fist heavily on the desk.
"Rebellious rabble! A bunch of rebellious rabble!!!"
"I've been saying it all along: martial arts disrupt order. These people were never up to any good on Blue Star, and now that they've gained power, they're even more lawless and ungovernable!"
"A mere pig butcher dares to speak to me like that!"
"What authority does the Human Race Guardian Association even have anymore?"
She took a deep breath, retrieved a precious lipstick from her drawer, and carefully applied it while looking in the mirror. After straightening her clothes, she pressed a button on her desk.
In this era, a single lipstick was indeed a rare treasure.
As soon as she pressed the button, a holographic screen materialized in the air.
The screen showed an elderly man with a weary face and tired eyes.
"Guardian Lord!"
Li Xiumei's expression immediately straightened. Dressed in her professional attire, she exuded the aura of a powerful woman as she crisply declared, "I'm resubmitting the proposal that was previously rejected. For the human race to prosper, we must strictly control those who have gained power by chance."
"I propose dismantling all private gangs, dispersing their members, and assigning our own operatives to each gang for ideological guidance and supervision."
"Furthermore, we must replace all gang leaders with our own loyal agents."
"Or perhaps reincarnation, like being the leader of one gang this month and another next month."
"And we also need to..."
"Stop."
The elderly man in the video gently rubbed his temples before slowly removing his reading glasses from the bridge of his nose. He looked up at Li Xiumei, studying her in silence for a moment before speaking slowly, "Who authorized you to represent the human race?"
A flicker of confusion crossed Li Xiumei's face. After a moment's hesitation, she instinctively replied, "Didn't you say, Guardian Lord, that the Human Race Guardian Association represents the human race?"
"That's a long-term vision!"
The elderly man's voice grew stern, his knuckles rapping sharply on the table. His voice, heavy with authority, cut through the air as he enunciated each word with icy precision: "Do you understand what a long-term vision means?"
"The Human Race Guardian Association is currently just a human settlement, established to provide a stronghold for human players against alien races!"
"Even I wouldn't dare claim to represent the entire human race. By what right do you presume to do so?"
"Who gave you the authority to strip Chen Jiang of his human citizenship?!"
"Who granted you such power?!"
"Who gave you the audacity?!"
"A human powerhouse—who gave you the gall to insult, provoke, and even strip him of his human citizenship?!"
"Where do you get your audacity?!"
"I..."
Li Xiumei's eyes flickered with panic as she gazed at the elderly man on the screen, who was on the verge of fury. She stammered, "Didn't you, Guardian Lord, say it's unwise for the human race to make more enemies right now?"
"I... I just didn't want Chen Jiang to kill too many people, lest it bring disaster upon the human race."
The old man sighed heavily. "So you decided to pit the strongest human player against us?"
"Your proposal was rejected last time, and we made our position clear then!"
"Regulation is impossible, and disrupting the human players' private factions is utterly unacceptable!"
"In the current climate, your proposal has already led many to secretly suspect you've been bribed by the alien races."
"The strongest?" Li Xiumei's panic intensified. "How could he be the strongest? Guardian Lord, you're merely concealing your true strength for the sake of the greater good."
"Hmph."
The old man shook his head and chuckled bitterly. "Concealing one's strength for any reason means one's strength is still insufficient. I could never kill 140,000 aliens in a single day."
"Enough. You are no longer the secretary-general of the Human Race Guardian Association."
"Leave that office immediately. Someone will be there to replace you."
"Out of old friendship, this is my final warning to you."
"No!"
Hearing this, Li Xiumei's face twisted with panic. She slammed her hands on the desk and shot to her feet, shouting urgently, "I can't leave! My innate ability—"
Before she could finish, the transmission cut off.
Clearly, they had no intention of discussing the matter further.
Footsteps echoed outside the door, signaling the arrival of the Guardian Lord's guards, ready to forcibly remove her.
"I've dedicated my life to the human race, and now they want to kick me out? Not a chance! I'm not leaving, and I dare them to try and stop me!"
A venomous glint flashed in Li Xiumei's eyes. She deliberately disheveled her clothes and smeared her makeup, then stood by the door, took a deep breath, and prepared to pounce.
Her plan was simple: the moment the guards opened the door, she would rush forward, cling to the first guard, and scream that he was trying to rape her, creating a massive scandal!
If the uproar was big enough, they would have no choice but to reinstate her as secretary-general to quell the chaos.
Without the position of secretary-general, she couldn't imagine how long she would survive, given her innate abilities. Not to mention losing this respectable office, her exquisite makeup, and the daily supply of clean drinking water and food.
But just then—
BANG!
The office door was kicked open with brutal force. Li Xiumei, who had been hiding behind it, instinctively cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Staring at the unfamiliar men before her, she cursed, "Are you blind? Do you even know where you are?"
"I am Li Xiumei, secretary-general of the Human Race Guardian Association!"
"Heh."
The bare-chested man standing in the doorway, scars covering his upper body, grinned savagely at Li Xiumei sprawled on the floor. He hefted a massive cleaver.
"Li Xiumei?"
"That's exactly who I'm looking for!"
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Fang Cunshan. Ring a bell? I said I'd deal with you today, and I meant it!"
One by one, similarly bare-chested men armed with various weapons emerged from the shadows, blocking the doorway, windows, and any other escape routes. Their eyes warned the surrounding guards against intervening.
The man with the cleaver advanced slowly toward Li Xiumei, who remained seated on the floor, his grin widening into a predatory sneer.
"Damn it, you bitch! You're the one who got Brother Jiang's human citizenship revoked, aren't you?"
"Today, your grandpa Fang Cunshan stands right here! Try revoking my human citizenship, you bitch!"
"I'll be damned if I let you claim to represent the human race!"
"Represent the human race? You deserve it?!"
"You fucking deserve it?!"
