Chapter 512 - - 463 Stirring the water is Duge’s usual tactic_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Harmless?

Watching Xu Wan below, in a basic level mecha, pushing Wang Zheng, who was piloting Night Owl, into a dire situation, Luo Yan was speechless. If this was considered harmless, the ace pilots on Green Star might as well hang themselves.

After a moment of silence, Luo Yan asked, “What do you think your odds of beating both of them are?”

Duge glanced at Luo Yan and shook his head, “Don’t count on me, my keyword is neither offensive nor defensive. I just happen to have a head start with some advantages, that doesn’t guarantee I can beat them.”

“Not even one of them?” Luo Yan asked with a look of doubt.

“In Night Owl, maybe I could spar with Mo Shengmin,” said Duge, “but I probably wouldn’t be able to hit Xu Wan. He should have awakened an evasion skill, and those are usually passive defenses. Even if I were to adjust ten mechas, it might still not be enough to hit him.”

“If you were to deal with them, do you have any good methods?” Luo Yan asked with a frown.

“To deal with Xu Wan, we could trap her, cut off her food and water. As long as the room she’s trapped in is sturdy enough, she’ll eventually starve to death.” Duge said, “If you want to kill her quickly, lure her into a sealed space, ignite a fire or flood it. Either should be able to finish her off. Even if she has evasion skills, she can’t dodge high temperatures, she still needs to breathe. Trapping her in a container and heating it from the outside should be able to roast her…”

Well, look at that!

You really don’t take her seriously at all!

Luo Yan muttered to himself and asked, “What about poison gas?”

“If Xu Wan’s keyword continues to be effective, her body would automatically detoxify, so the chances of poisoning her to death are slim.” Duge stretched out his finger, drew out a dagger, and slashed his own arm.

Then.

Right under Luo Yan’s eyelids, his arm healed in an instant.

Seeing this, the corner of Luo Yan’s eye couldn’t help but twitch.

“For example, my keyword is ’trendy’,” Duge chuckled, “As long as my influence remains, so will my recovery ability.”

He just couldn’t resist setting a trap for Luo Yan.

If one day Luo Yan became desperate to deal with him and tried to eliminate his influence on the net, his low-profile attribute would definitely skyrocket.

“What about Mo Shengmin?” Luo Yan asked.

“He’s easier to deal with,” Duge chuckled. “With three mechas providing ranged fire coverage, he’s basically done for. In fact, most players can be taken out with fire coverage. The key is never to let them band together. Once there are more than five of them, you’ll never know how magical their combination of skills could be.”

Luo Yan looked at Duge thoughtfully.

A moment later, he asked, “Lin Hong, Mo Shengmin and Xu Wan are now calling people from our planet to serve Green Star. What do you think about that?”

“If you don’t worry about backlash, go ahead,” Duge looked at Luo Yan and shook his head, “Right now, Xu Wan and Mo Shengmin can still check and balance each other. But if you really let them gather people, it’s not certain who will call the shots on Green Star, let alone the National Defense Bureau.”

“Then what do you suggest we do?” asked Luo Yan.

“Stir the waters!” Duge said. “Let them recruit through the battle network. Anyone who responds, give me the coordinates, and I’ll help you take them out. If more than ten die, I guarantee the rest won’t dare show their faces.”

“If I remember correctly, you players gain experience by killing your own kind, right?” Luo Yan looked at Duge with a strange expression.

“That’s right, they all have their own ulterior motives, but I’m the one who’s truly considering Green Star’s interests,” Duge smiled at Luo Yan, saying, “It’s better to let me gain experience and control the situation in the shadows than to leave Green Star to those unpredictable fellows.

Director Luo, there are too many players on Green Star now. We must scare them into submission, keep them isolated. Only then can the National Strategic Defense Bureau control the situation and truly extend the battle line.

Don’t think about recruiting everyone to your cause. Keeping the number of players under three hundred is just right. That way, they can be used against the Hesir civilization, and they won’t bring disaster to Green Star.”

“What if more Alien Warriors start showing up on the battle network and other powers lure them away?” Luo Yan asked.

“Director Luo, that’s exactly what the National Strategic Defense Bureau is for!” Duge laughed, “If they sincerely serve Green Star, that’s one thing. But once we notice any signs of treachery, whether we assassinate them or capture them for study, it’s our call to make.”

“Lin Hong, which planet are you from?” Luo Yan suddenly asked.

“From Qiyuan Star,” Duge replied.

“The Qiyuan Star with a Duge?” Luo Yan’s interest was piqued.

“Right,” Duge nodded.

“Then why didn’t you mention Duge in the information you gave me?” Luo Yan asked.

“Simple,” Duge shrugged, “because Duge didn’t enter the game at all this time.”

“…” Luo Yan was stunned.

“Director Luo, Duge has already led Qiyuan Star to three victories in the game, and we have won enough resources. In this game, our burden is the least,” Duge chuckled, “And with Duge having made such a big name, he is bound to be targeted by everyone. So why would we let a major contributor risk entering the game?”

“Makes sense,” Luo Yan nodded in agreement, but his expression gave away nothing about whether he believed it or not.
