A declaration of war! As soon as the onlookers heard this, they knew there was going to be a good show.
What's the point of just watching Watt Kirk's one - man show?
Everyone knew that Watt Kirk's father was a regular on the Forbes list.
But everyone was curious about who that other tycoon who had also recharged more than ten million in the game was.
"Guys, today I'm going to dig this guy out and see if he's a shill hired by the game official or a real tycoon," Watt Kirk said with his signature sneer.
"If it's the latter, then we'll set some rules and have a competition."
"If it's the former... Humph, I won't bother with you, a small fry.
Let the official come out and apologize to all the players of [Sweet Home] and make corresponding compensation!"
As soon as he said this, all the players of [Sweet Home] shouted that he was awesome.
"Too cool! Brother Watt is really Brother Yue!"Watt
"Haha, [I'm a Big Spender], come out quickly. Are you still pretending to be dead?"
"Don't shout, buddy. This guy is probably a shill. I saw that his game account has been online, but it's been so long and he still hasn't shown up. He's definitely a shill!"
"Damn it! Shills should die. I hate these shills the most."
"Hehe, I think not only [I'm a Big Spender] is a shill, but also that [Light of Civilization], the number one on the wealth list, is a shill too!"
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence! Just because Watt Kirk recharged ten million doesn't mean others are shills. What's the logic in that?"
"Then let them come out quickly and stop pretending to be dead."
"..."
Of course, not all the comments were praising Watt Kirk and belittling Lincoln and Alice Adams.
But occasionally, a few rational comments were completely drowned out by the fanatical atmosphere in the comments.
In the end, almost millions of viewers were condemning Lincoln and Alice Adams.
Alice Adams, who was watching this farce, was sitting in front of the computer, fuming with anger.
Her originally fair and delicate face was now flushed with annoyance, and there was a glimmer of anger in her eyes.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Is Watt Kirk crazy? Why does he have to target the Big Spender? Does it bother him that others recharge money?"
She was typing frantically in the live - stream room to argue with others while complaining under her breath.
Her best friend, Jennifer Clive, beside her, put her hand on her forehead and said helplessly.
"Alice, it's useless to say anything now. The comments have been completely led astray by this Watt Kirk."
Alice Adams frowned slightly and found that it was indeed as her best friend said.
The viewers in the live - stream room seemed to be under Watt Kirk's spell and couldn't listen to any rational remarks at all.
She pouted her red lips and said, "Then what should we do? We can't just let the Big Spender suffer this unjust accusation."
Jennifer Clive thought for a while and asked, "How are you so sure that guy isn't a game shill?"
Alice Adams was instantly furious: "Why are you saying that too? How could that guy be a shill!"
"You don't have any evidence to prove he's not a shill," Jennifer Clive shrugged.
"But, but..." Alice Adams thought for a long time and didn't know how to explain.
To be honest, she had just met Lincoln yesterday, and she didn't even know Lincoln's real name.
She only learned from the game merchant Sea Buckthorn that there was such a "combat - type player" who, like her, liked defensive buildings, training heroes and troops.
Alice Adams didn't know what to say, so she could only say, "Anyway, I just know he's not. It's a feeling. Do you understand the feeling!"
Before her best friend could say anything, she seemed to think of something, looked up and said, "Right! If he doesn't show up, I can!
"Watt Kirk wants to have a competition, right? I'll go and have a competition with Watt Kirk. I don't believe this guy is richer than me!"
If we're being precise, the Adams family is a century-old grand lineage with deep - seated heritage.
Within the family, there are those engaged in business and those in politics, making it a genuine colossus.
Alice Adams' father is also a paragon among this generation of the family and one of the top business magnates in the country.
On the other hand, Watt Kirk's father is merely a wealthy merchant who has emerged over the past ten years and still pales in comparison to the Adams family.
But Jennifer Clive poured a bucket of cold water on her in time:
"You forgot that your father told you to go to the company to inherit the family business the day before yesterday.
You insisted on staying at home and playing games, and your father stopped all your cards. Now you still have to rely on me to eat. Where do you have the money to recharge?"
As soon as Alice Adams heard this, her excited mood disappeared immediately, and her tone became listless:
"It's all that stinky father's fault. I just graduated from college. Can't he just let me play for a few more years..."
Jennifer Clive twitched the corner of her mouth. Probably only she dared to talk about that business tycoon like this.
"Are we just going to let Watt Kirk keep being so arrogant?" Alice Adams said helplessly.
Jennifer Clive shrugged helplessly. Although she had a little savings, she didn't dare to spend tens of millions on a game like Alice Adams.
If her family elders found out, they would probably beat her to death on the spot.
Alice Adams sighed: "Forget it. I'll contact the Big Spender first and see what he says."
...
Lincoln, who was completely unaware of the outside world's discussion, was busy in the wild at the moment.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully occupied aprimaryGold Mine. Please send villagers to mine it in time!]
As the last system prompt sounded, Lincoln's sweep of the area around his territory was also completed.
Taking advantage of the few hours when his territory was being upgraded, he led Rimuru and a group of villagers to sweep the area around the territory.
He was very efficient. In just two or three hours, he had cleared an area within a few kilometers.
He had occupied fiveprimarygold mines, threeprimaryiron mines, and successfully built three brand - new logging yards.
If the villagers had brought enough supplies, these resource points could have started operating now.
Before long, these resource points would bring Lincoln sufficient returns.
When Lincoln happily led Rimuru back to the base camp, the prompt that the territory upgrade was completed also sounded.
[Ding! Your territory, "Millionaire's Hamlet", has been successfully upgraded to a third - level small village. Please check it!]
[Ding! The Lord's Mansion has unlocked the function of recruiting construction workers, defensive buildings are unlocked, traps are unlocked, the upper limit of the number of civilian houses is increased by 10, and the recruitment of troops' nests is unlocked...]
