Volume 3 Containment Operation Chapter 2 Cooperation
Actually, according to my original intention, I really wanted to include Tongxin League in Afeng's revenge plan. I have been "enduring humiliation" all this time just to win their support when necessary, hoping that they can help us in some ways. With our meager personal strength, we have little chance of winning against a person like Hua|hua|gong|zi who is destined to be unresigned to mediocrity, and the facts have proved this point. In just three months, he has become famous and has considerable power. But since Afeng insisted, I didn't want to argue with him openly. Anyway, things are in the hands of people. As long as we slowly make the Tongxin League and Hua Mantian's forces have conflicts of interest, with his arrogant and domineering character, he will come to us sooner or later.
Of course, we can't rush into this kind of thing. We need a solid plan. It's okay to cause some minor frictions to hinder Hua Mantian, but I don't want the Tongxin League to confront him too early, which would only lead to self-destruction. However, conspiracy is not my forte, and I can't discuss it with others. After thinking for a long time, my head is still a mess. I can't figure out how to proceed. I have never taken the initiative to calculate others since I was a child.
The next day, Xue Wuxia suddenly announced that she would convene a group meeting, saying that there was something extremely important to discuss. There was no sign of this beforehand, and even the deputy group leader Afeng didn't know the content of the meeting. He only vaguely knew that she seemed to have gone to a mysterious date. After she came back, she didn't reveal anything, and quickly logged off. When she entered the game again, she immediately announced the meeting.
These days I didn't stay in the "Dead Soul Space", but accompanied Yue Linglong to level up in the Howling Plains. We formed a team of two and evenly distributed the seniority points. With a large group of my younger brothers to help, she didn't have to do anything. The seniority points rose rapidly and she could be promoted to an intermediate knight soon. There was really no other way to take such an opportunistic way to advance in such a way that went against her original intention. Who made her like the little white dragon (the foal born by the white dragon horse, named by her as the little white dragon) so much? According to the system settings, only young animals born within 30 days can sign a "pet contract" with it, and can live in the "pet room" before signing the contract. She had just been promoted to a primary knight, and the seniority points were too far behind. It was impossible to achieve it according to the normal progress. She had no choice but to temporarily give up her "self-esteem" in order to finally get the little white dragon, and listened to the advice of Afeng, the "enthusiastic person", and asked me for help, and teamed up with me to level up and earn more seniority points. Firstly, she gave me a good impression. Secondly, I felt too dull and depressed in the "Dead Space" recently. I just kept clicking all day long. I just wanted to come out for some fresh air, so I agreed. It was also because of this that Afeng was able to contact me as soon as possible yesterday, and today's group meeting was not delayed.
Now the number of members of the Tongxin League has increased to twenty-three, among whom are several friends of Black Iron Tower, who joined because of the relationship between Nan Feiyan and Little Lajiao. When they arrived at the meeting hall, they found that even Little Lajiao had come to join by chance, and there was bound to be another lively atmosphere when they met.
Seeing that everyone was present, Xue Wuxia announced the start of the meeting. We sat down one by one, and all our eyes turned to her. Her expression had been very serious since she showed up, as if something big was about to happen.
Xue Wuxia glanced at us one by one, then slowly spoke, "I went to a date yesterday, and someone proposed to cooperate with our Tongxin Alliance to seek common development."
"Who is the other party?" It seems that every time it is Xiao Niaoyi who loses his temper and rushes to ask questions.
"It's Long Xing Tian Xia!" Xue Wu Xia uttered a name that was definitely well-known to everyone.
We all couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. It was incredible that Long Xing Tianxia would actually take the initiative to propose to cooperate with our Tongxin League. As the recognized number one master in the Eastern Continent, with outstanding talents like Bai Yunjian and Bajiugaoge, the overall strength of their team is much higher than that of our isolated and weak Tongxin League. Could there be other purposes for doing this?
"How to cooperate, what are the specific methods?" After a moment of silence and digesting this shocking information, Yun Wuying asked the most crucial question.
"We will help each other and provide support when needed. Of course, they will provide the necessary compensation. They promised to help a few pets to enhance our strength and send architects to help build the base. What we need to pay is..." Xue Wuxia paused for a moment, and glanced at me and Afeng casually, "Support a few people to join their team in their personal capacity and participate in the group competition of this 'World Heroes Conference'."
Afeng and I exchanged glances, and we both saw the joy in each other's eyes. This was really an unexpected surprise. Long Xing Tianxia should be dealing with the combination of Yamato Spirit and Hua Mantian. From a purely personal perspective, cooperation is definitely beneficial to our revenge action, and there is a greater chance of hitting Hua Mantian. However, Xue Wuxia must consider the overall situation. Once such news spreads, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction and even hostility from Hua Mantian and others, and it may drag down the entire Tongxin League. No wonder this meeting was held. It seems that everyone should discuss and decide.
"Yesterday, 'Tian Media' reported that Hua Mantian and Yamato Spirit teamed up again to compete in the 'World Heroes Conference'. Long Xing Tianxia should be doing this in order to fight against them more actively." The Guardian of the Heart explained the background of the cooperation event.
"Hua Mantian is a big talker and his attitude is too arrogant. I don't like it. Besides, he is cooperating with Japanese players, but he is destroying the prestige of us Chinese players. It doesn't make sense. In comparison, Long Xing Tian Xia is more reliable." A Feng hesitated and didn't speak, but I couldn't help it. I had to make this cooperation happen no matter what. I gritted my teeth, plucked up the courage to speak first. I couldn't say anything profound, but as long as I made my attitude clear and agreed to the cooperation, it would be fine. Even if someone disagreed, they would be embarrassed to express it.
Xue Wuxia stared at me, smiling slightly. This was the first time I expressed my opinion so actively, and it was very subjective. I suddenly felt weak in my heart, and quickly added: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I just want to throw out some ideas. If you have any opinions, please feel free to speak up."
He spoke passionately at the beginning, but seemed to lack confidence later. This anticlimactic speech caused everyone to laugh, and Little Pepper couldn't help laughing out loud. I felt my face burning, but I still tried to remain calm so as not to reveal my selfishness.
"From Hua Mantian's series of actions, we can see that he will never be content with being ordinary or inferior to others, and he will definitely stir up some disputes," Yun Wuying pondered for a moment and continued, "In fact, in every game, there will be some such ambitious forces, trying to gain a dominant position and maximize their vested interests. According to the usual practice, after they gain a foothold, they will try their best to expand their power. The law of the jungle is hard to avoid even in the game. Although there is no worry at the moment, our Tongxin Alliance will definitely be involved in the future. Unless we are willing to be swallowed up and eliminated by others, it is necessary to cooperate with others to enhance our strength on the basis of maintaining independence. We should plan ahead and make plans early."
I didn't expect that the deputy leader Yun Wuying would be so cooperative and clearly support my opinion. I was surprised and happy. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stole a glance at Ah Feng. He also showed a slight joy on his face and immediately expressed his opinion, "Long Xingtianxia behaved more upright than Hua Mantian. The conditions he proposed were also fair and acceptable. It should be more beneficial than harmful to the development of our Tongxin League. I also think we can cooperate."
Both deputy heads of the delegation agreed to the cooperation, and with me on the side to add fuel to the flames, and Little Pepper even expressed her support with an attitude of wanting to make the world chaotic, the matter was almost decided. Everyone expressed their opinions one by one, and basically agreed. Occasionally there were some different opinions, but they were just a little worried about the specific cooperation method, and had no objection to the cooperation itself.
After reaching a consensus, everyone seemed very happy. After all, being able to cooperate with a powerful force can greatly enhance strength and is extremely helpful to the development of Tongxin League. Xue Wuxia also looked at us with a smile, "Okay, since everyone agrees to cooperate with Long Xing Tianxia, let's discuss the details and select a few people to join their team to participate in the competition. Let's discuss who is better to play. Although it is in the name of an individual, after all, we are members of Tongxin League. We can't ruin our reputation in public."
"Brother Dai will definitely participate. With his 'Summoning of the Dead', any Yamato spirit will definitely be defeated." Little Pepper has the most confidence in me.
"Afeng should also be counted as one. He has good fighting skills and a top-level mount, the one-horned white rhinoceros. He is no worse than Hua Mantian." I can't stand out again this time, for fear of being too conspicuous. Fortunately, Afeng's strength is good, and everyone can see it. There will be others who will recommend him.
"Sister Wuxia is also very capable and has commanding abilities, so she can also participate in the competition." This was Xiao Niaoyi's suggestion.
"Wuxia can't do that. As the leader of the Tongxin League, her identity is too sensitive and it's not appropriate for her to participate." Diewu raised an objection.
After some discussion, it was decided that four people, including me, Afeng, Yun Wuying, and Nan Feiyan, would compete. It would not be good to have too many people, lest it be suspected that we would steal the show. Afeng and I are not to be underestimated. Nan Feiyan is also quite strong, and she has a third-level magic pet, Fire Crow, which is a gift from the Black Iron Tower. She can go to the battle. Although Yun Wuying does not have a pet yet, he has rich combat experience, and Long Xing Tianxia has agreed to support several of our pets. When the time comes, we can just choose one and sign a "pet contract". Xue Wuxia is also eligible to participate. She is also eager to try, but the identity of the head of a group is indeed too sensitive, so she had to give up.
"What do you think about the cooperation with Long Xing Tian Xia?" We discussed what had just happened while eating.
"Of course it is most beneficial to your revenge plan. This should be regarded as a godsend opportunity to fulfill your wish." My words were full of gloating.
"Hua Mantian's biggest mistake is that he is too arrogant. He created a powerful opponent like Long Xingtianxia when he was still young and weak. From what I know about him, Long Xingtianxia must have offended him in some way, which is why he is so jealous and determined to oppose him." Afeng made such a guess.
"Could it be related to real life?" Flirting with girls and stealing girls' love are his strengths. Although I don't know much about Long Xing Tian Xia, subconsciously I always feel that he can't compare to the playboy when it comes to the means of coaxing girls.
"It's hard to say. It could also be an old grudge from other games. Hua Tianwen is a vindictive person with a very small heart. He is usually quite calm, but he can't stand being bullied."
At this point, Afeng may have thought of his ex-girlfriend again, and his face could not help but darken. I secretly regretted my slip of the tongue and quickly changed the subject. "Do you think Long Xingtianxia's contact with us this time was premeditated? First, Long Piaopiao interviewed and reported us for publicity, and then he stuffed a cousin in. Yue Linglong is obviously very familiar with Bai Yunjian. These people are directly or indirectly related to Long Xingtianxia. Is there any connection between them? Maybe this date is a bridge between Long Piaopiao and Yue Linglong." Originally, I just said it casually in a hurry, but I didn't expect that the more I talked, the more it seemed to be true, and I couldn't help but take it seriously. Recalling that when Xue Wuxia mentioned the cooperation with Long Xingtianxia, Yue Linglong didn't seem to be very surprised, as if she already knew about it. She didn't care at the time, but now I think it's really a bit suspicious.
"These are just your conjectures. Don't talk nonsense, as if they really have bad intentions. Cooperation, after all, requires mutual benefit and trust. Don't jump to conclusions. Wait until there is evidence. Moreover, even if it is really as you said, as long as there is no hostility towards us, it is no big deal. This can actually strengthen the connection between each other. And I think Yue Linglong seems to be a little interested in you. Sometimes she looks at you in a strange way, but she smiles so sweetly at you. You might as well consider it. You are not young anymore , and you have been in the society for three years, but you are still a pure boy and you haven't even had a girlfriend. It will be too embarrassing if it gets out. Xiaoyue is already very good. She is beautiful, gentle and easy-going. I heard that she doesn't have a boyfriend yet..." I don't know if he wanted to retaliate against me for violating his taboo, but the topic turned to the personal emotional issue that I was most reluctant to mention.
"Okay, I'm done eating. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to rest. Remember to clean the table." I quickly interrupted him, put down my bowl and chopsticks, and turned to leave. Why did I have to talk about those things? I'm just a poor boy who can't even support myself. How can I have the qualifications to talk about love? What good girl would like me? Dream on...
