76: Chapter 76 The Tree of Generosity

"What is going on?"

"???"

Including Fu Hao's livestream, the chat sections of all channels broadcasting the battle between Fu Hao and Mecca were instantly flooded with question marks.

The players at the scene were equally shocked—if their emotions were converted into emojis, thousands of question marks would surely be dancing in the air.

[ "Leon Fu Hao" donated 50 yuan. (Brother Hao always manages to surprise people.) ]

[ "Hululu" donated 50 yuan. (You intentionally held back when fighting Leonhardt, didn't you?) ]

[ "Dinosaur" donated 50 yuan. (When did you change your class to Tamer?) ]

People were shocked not only because Fu Hao had held back when fighting Leonhardt, but also because "summoning multiple Summoned Beasts simultaneously" was originally the exclusive ability of the Tamer class.

Even the top-ranked Tamer, "Soo-hee," could not summon hundreds of creatures at the same time.

Legendary Druids perhaps could, but such a situation had never occurred among players.

"Re-Referee! Doesn't this count as a foul?"

Mecca looked at Allen with an almost pleading gaze.

Perhaps due to the excessive debuff from his Machine Control skill, the robots, already at a numerical disadvantage, had no power to resist against the pack of black wolves, and if this continued, he would be torn to shreds as well.

Although Allen felt sympathy for Mecca, he could not intervene; within the permitted scope of the rules, Fu Hao's summoning was perfectly fine.

Desperate, Mecca finally set aside all his pride and surrendered to Fu Hao: "I surrender! I surrender!"

Mecca had five items that absolutely could not be dropped; like other top players, he was well aware of the risks of dying in PK.

"You want to surrender?"

Fu Hao sneered in his heart.

Killing Mecca would not grant experience, the dropped equipment had nothing to do with him, and defeating an 11th-ranked player would not increase his reputation—the only benefit was reducing the number of competitors in the dungeon.

Since he already had Philip as a clear enemy, he did not want to create new ones.

It was a pity that the opponent was the guild leader of the Machine Empire.

"If you aren't sure, don't gamble. Haven't you heard of that principle?"

- "Hahahaha."

- "Starting trouble and then surrendering..."

- "Liquidating the hegemony, well done!"

- "Without his robots, Mecca is just trash."

- "Farewell~ Farewell~"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just kill me..."

Having lost all his robots, Mecca was being mauled by the wolf pack and pleaded with Fu Hao.

Rather than being slowly tortured to death, he preferred a quick death.

But Fu Hao was firm: "Save your mana."

Why should he let the Machine Empire guild leader die comfortably? Fu Hao decided to "give back" to the former guild members and, incidentally, use the 11th-ranked player to establish his authority.

"!@#!$#@$@"

"Your mouth is really foul, haha."

Mecca, who had been silenced by the system for verbal abuse, died in humiliation while being mauled by the pack of wolves.

Although the Machine Empire members were briefly agitated, they did not launch a direct confrontation—they knew the disparity in strength was too great.

[Enemy defeated.]

The moment Fu Hao killed Mecca, the ordinary players erupted: "Brother Hao is the best!"

"Fu Hao! Fu Hao! Fu Hao!"

"Long live the super rookie!"

Thousands of people shouted in unison, and even without using amplification magic, it still made eardrums ache.

This was the first time a leader of the Five Great Guilds had been miserably defeated in a player battle; although Allen had been defeated on the 71st floor of the Training Tower, only he knew about it, and it had not been recorded publicly.

"Brother Hao, thank you for defeating Mecca!"

The high-level players and their guild members who had been bullied by Mecca came forward to thank him; they weren't asking for dungeon qualifications, only for revenge.

Mecca had once insulted them as "trash with nothing," and now that he had died even more miserably, how could it not be satisfying?

"What are you thanking me for, haha."

Fu Hao walked toward the 11 scattered items: "Wow, a lot dropped."

All 11 items exuded a high-grade feel; the lowest was Hero-grade, and there might even be Legendary-grade ones.

"What a pity."

Even if the equipment was good, for Fu Hao, who was prohibited from trading, it was just like a flower in a mirror.

"If I had known, I would have brought 'Chaos'."

If he let her pick up the equipment, at least it could be transferred to other accounts, but she had her own schedule, and even if she could come, without a teleportation gem, she would be unable to arrive in time.

- "Wow, I'm rich!"

- "It seems like more than 10 dropped?"

- "Super drop rate!"

- "Mecca was looted down to his underwear."

- "Is the PK drop rate this high?"

Judging by the mechanism of "prioritizing the drop of high-value items" during PK, Mecca had been almost completely looted.

"How should I handle this..."

If he left it alone as before, it would inevitably trigger a chaotic battle. And he would become the target of everyone.

He suddenly remembered: the dungeon was limited to 4 entrants.

The core of the infighting among the Five Great Guilds was exactly the 4-person entry quota; one of the five must be excluded.

And after Fu Hao replaced Mecca, the situation remained the same; they still needed to negotiate who would go and who would stay.

"Whether the dungeon can be cleared and what the rewards are is uncertain."

Fu Hao looked at the four people, guessing that there must be conservatives among them who were unwilling to take risks.

What if he used Mecca's equipment to trade for an entry qualification? Although he didn't know the value of the items, trading unknown risks for certain gains was quite a profitable deal.

"The problem is the ordinary players who support me..."

If he entered alone with the Five Great Guilds, he would inevitably be seen as colluding with them.

Fu Hao scanned the 11 pieces of equipment and came up with a plan: "I'll pick 3 pieces to give to the ordinary players."

Splitting 3 pieces out of the 11 would not affect the deal with the Five Great Guilds, and would also appease the public.

"Can you give me a spot?"

Fu Hao immediately opened his mouth to propose the plan.

The Machine Empire members were furious upon hearing this, but fortunately, they were blocked by the Demonic Cult members of Pegasus and the ordinary players.

"This proposal is good; I'll withdraw."

Unexpectedly, Pegasus responded first.

"But I demand to choose 8 pieces from the 11 items first."

"...Okay."

Pegasus perhaps recognized some rare equipment. After he selected them, the remaining 3 pieces were left for the ordinary players.

"You don't have any objections, do you?" Pegasus asked the other guild leaders.

"Agreed."

"I couldn't ask for more."

"Ranking by combat power, this is reasonable."

The four of them agreed unanimously. Finally, Fu Hao turned to the ordinary players:

"Does everyone accept this plan?"

He waited nervously for a response, but didn't expect the cheers to be even more enthusiastic than when he defeated Mecca:

"Long live Lord Fu Hao!"

"So cool!"

"From today on, I'm a fan of Brother Hao!"

"Fu Hao! Fu Hao! Fu Hao!"

[ "Jasmine" donated 50 yuan. (Money really can let you do whatever you want. —Fu Hao) ]

The disputes of the Five Great Guilds and the resentment of the ordinary players were all resolved by Fu Hao using "someone else's equipment."

The important thing was—except for the Machine Empire and Mecca, everyone was satisfied with this result.
