Chapter 554 - - 482 I never thought about getting first place_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Hord, you’re really something,” the supervisor of the casino department raised his thumb at Hord, “In the game, Duge controls everything, but outside the game, his fate is in our hands, such a despairing life!”

“Hord, it seems you have high hopes for Duge!” said the supervisor of the operations department, “Aren’t you worried that he will be eliminated by others in this game?”

“I trust him,” Hord said, “He has won first place so many times that he no longer cares about resources. I think his goal this time is to escape. When he’s not fighting for resources, he is bound to survive until the end.”

Looking around at the enthusiastically discussing employees, Ross’s face showed a smug smile, “Indeed, it was correct to slightly loosen the conditions of the battlefield.”

He turned to the supervisor of the Exploration Department, “Bas, have your people expedite the exploration of more planets; this time you will have ample time.

The next game field should be more challenging than this one, eliminating those who follow the path of technological civilizations. The existence of the War Net allows those warriors to grow too quickly, which shortens the time we can make money.”

…

“Lin Hong, are you sure you want to go to the National Defense Bureau headquarters alone?” Nalan Li frowned.

“Yes, Luo Yan’s keywords and skills are all in disarray; the information you provided won’t be of much help. I’ll go over and feel out the situation before making a decision,” Duge smiled and nodded.

“Brother Lin, I can help you,” Xin Tianyang volunteered eagerly, “There are too many people over there; I can isolate someone into a mirror space. Within the mirror space, we can fully ascertain their real keywords and skills.”

“Count me in,” Meng Lanyun said with a flushed face, “No one can refuse a certain matter…”

“…” Nalan Li’s eyelid twitched, and upon looking at Meng Lanyun again, he couldn’t imagine how she awakened such a skill; she must have really gone all out!

“I can go too,” Zhu Qinqin said, “I’m not afraid of death. At the critical moment, I can take a hit for Brother Lin.”

“No need, I can go by myself,” Duge looked around at everyone and shook his head, refusing, “What I need to do is to unite every force, not to go there and kill. If many people go, it can easily escalate conflicts.”

A few people still wanted to say something.

But were interrupted by Duge: “I have planned your future paths for all of you, even if I am not around, with the think tank of Green Star behind you, you will still reach the heights you desire. You shouldn’t take needless risks before you’ve grown strong enough.”

He smiled and continued, “If anything happens to me, you can choose whether to carry out the previous plans or not. But if you encounter someone from Qiyuan Star, I hope you would spare them.”

Everyone fell silent.

Zhu Qinqin managed to squeeze out a smile on her face, “Brother Lin, you definitely won’t have any issues.”

“Xin Tianyang, I want to make a bet with you,” Ying Fei suddenly turned to Xin Tianyang and said.

“Bet on what?” Xin Tianyang asked, understanding the implication.

“Let’s bet that Lin Hong will return safely this time,” Ying Fei said, “One hundred thousand War Net Coins, I bet he will definitely come back.”

“Alright. I’ll take that bet,” Xin Tianyang said, “One hundred thousand War Net Coins, I bet he won’t come back.”

“I also bet he won’t come back,” Nalan Li said.

“Count Fan Lie and me in,” Zhu Qinqin said.

Fan Lie shrugged indifferently: “Fine, I also bet that Lin Hong won’t come back.”

…

What is this?

A super buff?

Exploiting a bug?

Duge looked at Ying Fei, who was opening bets with him as the subject, and stood there dumbfounded. Is this how you play when the time is right?

If this worked, then what was the point for the others?

She directly bribed a group of people, betting on herself to finish first.

Then.

She bet on herself to win and just lay down without doing anything, just wait to win…

His Muddy Water Touch Fish wasn’t nearly as bugged as that, he still had to make the effort himself, and there were several times when he was almost done for.

Something had to be off!

Suddenly.

Duge had an epiphany, realizing the operational principles behind Ying Fei’s skill.

If he returned alive, Ying Fei would harvest Xin Tianyang and the others’ War Net Coins, thus becoming the greatest beneficiary.

But if something happened to him, then for her, with the influence of Spring Heart is Sprouting gone, it would be equivalent to breaking free from his control, making her again the greatest beneficiary…

Which means.

No matter whether he lived or died during his visit to the National Defense Bureau headquarters, Ying Fei would reap the greatest benefits.

Damn!

So this was the core principle of turning luck around.

F***!

Causality-based skills really are heaven-defying…

…

“Brother Lin, go ahead, I have already sent you the best blessing,” Ying Fei said with a smile.

“Alright.”

Having understood the principle behind Ying Fei’s skill, Duge sighed internally and didn’t dwell on it any longer; ultimately, with Spring Heart is Sprouting in play, she wouldn’t harm him.

Besides.

He hadn’t relied on these people from the start; he always intended to infiltrate secretly, relying on his Hide as if null.

Nalan Li said, “Lin Hong, should I notify Luo Yan first?”

“No need,” Duge shook his head, “Alien Warriors are sharp-eared and alert; notifying Luo Yan may alert them. Moreover, we’re not sure if Luo Yan is under the control of Alien Warriors. I don’t want to spook the enemy.”

“Okay,” Nalan Li nodded, “then take care of yourself.”
