To the land of opportunity, the Central Zone, flowing with milk and honey and full of empty houses!

Comments:

– [This feels kinda like propaganda, ngl]

– [Lmao whatㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

– [Wasn’t it just yesterday that people called it a den of chaos? Now it’s the land of opportunity?]

– [Since when did the zone where they’re all beating each other up turn into a land flowing with milk and honey?]

Title: Users from 4 zones are flocking to the Central Zone right now

Author: Nuuuuus

According to what we’ve found out, here’s the situation:

First, after being defeated by the Loki Clan, the former Biomass Clan members who were kicked out have settled nearby.

From the Xenobia Empire side, users from the Southern Alliance, defeated by the Magellan Clan and the Northern Alliance, have also fled and settled in the Central Zone.

On top of that, there are clans and users who moved to the Central Zone because they didn’t like the Loki Clan’s actions.

There are also users disappointed by the aftermath of Humanity’s revolution, like the bread riots or the issue of post-war compensation.

Basically, users are pouring in from all directions.

The problem is, as everyone knows, the original Central Zone users have a strong lone-wolf mentality, and they’d mercilessly attack any clan that grew too big, right?

But this time, the users coming from other zones are naturally more inclined to stick together, unlike the original users.

And to make matters worse, the Yellow Turbans are running wild right now.

So while it’s supposed to be “a war of all against all,” when you get there, it’s more like, “Oh, these guys are sticking together too?”

“Hey, let’s form a clan and stick together too ㅇㅇ” & “Let’s become Yellow Turbans too.”

That’s why it’s a complete mess.

Comments:

– [It’s a total disaster]

– [So right now, the Central Zone is a mix of original users, Yellow Turbans, and users from 4 factions?]

– [And on top of that, add users from each faction who’ve turned into Yellow Turbans or are trying to form clans.]

– [Insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

– [The factions are doubling in size just by standing still!]

– [These crazy bastards]

“That damn reporter.”

As these kinds of stories circulate, the situation is pure chaos.

And even that information isn’t 100% accurate.

Not long after our clan settled in, the Central Zone users came charging in and destroyed all our bases.

What are we supposed to do now?

Comments:

– [???]

– [Wait, didn’t that other post say it was a goldmine? Why are these guys getting wrecked?]

– [It’s not just this post—lots of other users are getting screwed too.]

– [We got baited hard]

My friend who trusted that post…

Even though everyone warned them, they said, “No way it’s a lie,” and charged in…

And just like that, they lost everything in an instant…

They got captured by the Central Zone users and turned into slaves providing ships and resources…

Leaving behind a single line of chat, they were dragged deep into the Central Zone…

He disappeared…

Still not forgotten…

Comments:

– [What kind of templar is this again?]

– [I don’t know about the rest, but the chat window looks super intense.]

– [“You guys said it’s okay to go!!!”]

– [LOL, sorry.]

– [It’s the fault of the one who got baited, right? Yeah, right.]

– [Thanks, jerk…]

Funny enough, among the users who actually believed that instigation and entered the Central Zone, at least half were either part of the Yellow Turban mob or users from other zones who were completely unaffected. They ended up getting torn apart by the “perfectly fine Central Zone users” who were just minding their own business.

In many ways, the chaos continued.

==========

Unlike other zones, the Central Zone had a major problem: there was no clan to restore order.

After the chaos had “somewhat” settled by the next morning…

“Good morning, Commander.”

“What’s going on? You look exhausted from the start of this refreshing morning, Jessica.”

“Over 100 Commanders have contacted us to dock at the Icarus Triangle Zone or Tanhoizer this time?”

“…Oh.”

Starting with Jessica’s complaint about the “refugee appeal(?)” of over 100 people flooding in since morning, I quietly opened the gallery.

Sure enough, according to the gallery users, the state of the Central Zone’s territory was nothing short of “disgusting mold.”

Title: Today’s Morning News) Current State of the Central Zone Territory.txt

Author: News Boy

Content: [A 3D model of the Central Zone territory, mixed like moldy patches.gif]

First, I’d like to thank our clan’s ‘Bankai’ for creating this brutally accurate territory model.

Looking at the current situation, users from the four factions are more densely distributed in areas slightly farther from their original zones rather than closer ones.

But as you go deeper, you’ll find a lot of “Yellow Turban” remnants, native Central Zone users, and clans that have been there from the start.

On the outskirts, users who deserted from the four factions are moving around to avoid death, while the original Central Zone users and those from the four factions are divided into settlers and nomads.

With factions already numbering 10 and constantly fighting among themselves, the territory has turned into something resembling a rotten tangerine or orange.

The problem is that this territory changes almost every hour, so except for the Icarus Triangle Zone in the center, nothing is fixed.

Comments:

– [4D terrain is truly a mess.]

– [Isn’t it 3D?]

– [The graphics are 3D, but the way we move is 4D.]

– [Point=1D, Line=2D, Plane=3D, Space=4D.]

– [Is that so?]

– [Yeah, and the developers joked about “going below” and called it hyperdimensional, so it’s 4D.]

– [Ah, I see.]

– [LOLOLOLOLOL]

– [It’s literally a mess.]

– [Ugh, look at those horrifying colors.]

– [It seriously looks like a rotten tangerine.]

– [The high quality makes it look even more rotten.]

– [The person who made the model must be crying.]

—————————————–

Despite the terrifying and bizarre rotten orange mold—I mean, territory—changing in real-time, there it was: a tiny white triangle standing proudly in the center…

The so-called “Icarus Triangle Zone” was clearly visible.

Seeing this, I nodded in understanding as to why over 100 user refugees had flocked here since morning.

“They’ve been searching for a stable place and ended up drifting here.”

“It’s like the last shelter for middle-aged men who’ve lost their homes, families, and jobs.”

“What.”
