Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2805  Recognition

The King of Gab Empire hurriedly led his subordinates toward the Black Stone Mountain Range, and it had already been more than an hour by the time they arrived.

The mountain peaks were visible from a long distance, and the King saw the other three empire kings from afar.

By coincidence, two hours after the meeting had ended, they all met again at the summit of Black Stone Mountain.

”Hahaha, we all heard there was something going on, but who wouldʼve thought it was such a coincidence that we all ran into each other here?”

The empire kings laughed heartily as they greeted each other, ”Donʼt mind telling me, whatʼs the situation right now?”

Renee glanced at him and said, ”Fang Heng has just returned to the New World and is trying to transport a batch of soulstone materials back.”

Upon hearing Fang Hengʼs name, the empire kings already had some idea in their minds.

In the war against the Disaster, if there was one unique force that could gain a real advantage, it would likely be the Bone Dragon Knight Legion controlled by Fang Heng.

The King of Gab Empire pondered for a moment and said, ”Iʼve heard that the ʼNew Worldʼ plan was proposed and developed by Fang Heng, but it hasnʼt really received the approval of the Four Great Empires.”

”Thereʼs no point in discussing that now. When the outsiders were transporting materials, you didnʼt approve, but you didnʼt oppose it either, did you?”

”Hmph, donʼt get so worked up.” The King of the Gab Empire scoffed and continued, ”I just want to remind everyone, that these outsiders have now taken control of our lifeline. Be careful, they might have ulterior motives. When the time comes, I hope you donʼt trade your interests for temporary gains.”

Hearing this, the high-ranking officials of the empire all became alert.

Indeed, that was the case.

If Fang Heng were to use the soulstone as leverage, how should they respond?

The King of the Gab Empire looked around at the others.

”If he truly demands an outrageous price, our Gab Empire will never surrender easily. You all should think about the worst-case scenario first. When that time comes, unity will be key. We mustnʼt let ourselves become pawns for the outsiders.”

”Indeed, itʼs just a New World. If they really push us to the limit, we can always go to the New World together.”

The King of Clayton Empire pondered and nodded slightly.

He shared the same sentiment.

When it came to matters of life and death, if Fang Heng proposed some exchange of benefits, the empire would reluctantly accept it.

But if the other party made outrageous demands...

If things didnʼt go well, they would forcibly take the soul crystal back!

King Renee shook her head and said, ”Everyone, letʼs wait and see. The situation might not be as bad as you think.”

”King Renee, youʼre too merciful. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but youʼre more suited for leading battles. You donʼt understand human nature. If such a choice were in front of you, would you be willing to give it up?”

Just as they were talking, a faint light appeared at the teleportation passage.

The high-ranking officials of the empire stopped talking and looked toward the passage.

They saw zombie creatures carrying various-sized boxes out of the teleportation passage, neatly placing them in an open area outside the passage.

All eyes were on the boxes.

Soon, Fang Heng emerged from the passage.

”Huh? So many people?”

Fang Heng noticed a circle of people gathered outside the teleportation passage and was surprised to see Renee, the feudal lord, among them.

”Mr. Fang Heng.”

Beside him, Kotal quickly walked up and whispered a few words in Fang Hengʼs ear.

So that was the case.

The entire Death Realm was facing a crisis due to the depletion of Underworld crystal ores. Hearing that there were soul crystals available, everyone rushed over to check the situation.

Fang Heng already had a plan in mind and gently raised his hand.

The zombie clones wobbled toward the boxes and began opening them.

When they saw that the boxes were filled to the brim with Underworld crystals, the people of Kotalʼs tribe couldnʼt help but gasp in amazement, their eyes flickering with excitement.

The kings of the various empires and their entourages also looked on with grave expressions.

It seemed to be real.

This was unbelievable.

Humans!

How did they manage to do this?

Renee looked at Fang Heng with a surprised expression.

Just recently, she had discussed the issue of soul crystals with Fang Heng, and now, in such a short time, he had found a solution.

At this moment, presenting the boxes filled with soul crystals was far more convincing than any words.

The kings of the various empires and their high-ranking officials were quickly processing what they had seen, trying to figure out how to persuade Fang Heng to continue supplying them with soul crystals at the lowest possible cost.

”Kings,” Fang Heng said, bowing slightly. ”Thank you for the continued support of the empires, which allowed me to transport some materials into the New World. This enabled the cultivation of soul crystals there. Currently, the production is low, but we will continue to cultivate more. It wonʼt be long before we can meet the entire Death Realmʼs demand. For now, we only have this batch of crystals. Letʼs discuss how to distribute them, and I wonʼt interfere.”

”You...”

The King of Gab Empire, hearing Fang Hengʼs words, looked at him uncertainly, a suspicious expression on his face. He asked, ”Are you saying that you are willing to give these to us for free? With no additional conditions?”

”Of course.”

”Huh?”

The high-ranking officials from the various empires exchanged glances, all of them somewhat incredulous.

What an opportunity to demand a high price! Was humanity really giving up so easily?

They had already prepared themselves mentally to shed some blood, even gearing up to potentially clash with Fang Heng if necessary.

But had they overestimated things?

Fang Heng smiled and looked at the group.

His thoughts were clear.

The Dark Clanʼs power in the entire Death Realm was still formidable.

They had been able to resist the Disaster for so long, and the Dark Clan had played a major role in that resistance.

Moreover, he had heard from Renee that each empire still had some hidden treasures they had yet to bring out. They wouldnʼt fight to the death until the very last moment.

Now was not the time to go head-to-head with the Dark Clan. The difficulty of unifying the Death Realm with force was too high.

Even if they did manage to unify the Dark Clan, they wouldnʼt be able to unify the entire Death Realm.

It was better to let the Dark Clan continue to entangle with the Disaster for a while longer.

Perhaps, one day, when the remaining Dark Clan forces in the Death Realm were completely wiped out, and the Dark Clanʼs full mission completion rate was achieved, that would be the right moment for him to take over the Death Realm completely and finish his final task.

”Fang Heng, thank you,” Renee, the King, said, looking at him. She nodded first. ”We had an agreement, and the Vanni Empire has already issued a call to arms. The first batch of two thousand will be gathered and will travel to the New World with Kotal tomorrow.”

Fang Heng thought to himself that King Renee was reliable. It wasnʼt in vain that he had spent so much time improving his favorability rating.

With the first batch of Dark Clan members entering the New World and discovering its benefits, word of mouth would spread, and more Dark Clan members would eventually join the New World.

”Alright, Iʼll make sure to take good care of them.”

Fang Heng said as he glanced at the game prompt.

[Hint: The player has gained Dark Clan recognition. The player has gained favorability with the empires. The playerʼs current Dark Clan recognition: 3.22%]

Only 3.22%?

No rush.

Fang Heng quietly reassured himself.

Once the news of the soulstones spread, his recognition would gradually increase...
