"So the real target of those alien players is the Earth's core?"

Ji Mingyan spoke.

Zhuge Mingyue nodded and looked at Ji Mingyan with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

“That’s right!”

"What?"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly exploded, and everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

Disbelief, doubt, shock...

Various emotions kept changing on their faces.

Ji Mingyan lowered his eyes and suddenly remembered that in the six months since the alien players appeared, they had been hunting local mutants.

Several bases built by local psychics were also destroyed!

Before, he thought that in their minds, they were just NPCs in the game, so they could be killed at will.

But now it seems, what NPC?

This was a situation that was targeted from the very beginning!

After entering the Earth, those alien players massacred humans wantonly, ruining humanity's fortunes and thereby making the Earth's core even weaker.

Then, that will be their chance to reap the fruits of victory!

Ji Mingyan clenched his fists and suppressed the anger that was about to rise to his throat.

At this moment, a warm feeling came from the back of my hand.

Ji Mingyan raised his head and happened to meet Lin Yao's somewhat worried gaze.

The anger in his heart suddenly disappeared with a pop, like a balloon being popped.

Ji Mingyan patted the back of Lin Yao's hand, gave him a relaxing look, and then looked at Zhuge Mingyue who was sitting at the top.

"So, City Lord Zhuge, what is your real purpose?"

The bald man slammed the table and asked loudly.

Zhuge Mingyue glanced at the bald man lightly, and when the bald man withdrew his hand because he could not bear her sharp gaze, she slowly stood up.

"Everyone, inviting you to Tenglong Base to unite our forces to fight against the alien players is only one of the reasons. Another important reason is to protect the core of the Earth!"

Zhuge Mingyue leaned over, supported her hands on the table, and scanned everyone's faces with a sharp gaze.

"This isn't about my life or death, or the life and death of Tenglong Base. It concerns all life on Earth!"

"The Imperial Alliance base has already marched, heading towards Tenglong Base. I hope everyone will be fully prepared and ready to face this battle!"

"Of course, Tenglong Base will certainly benefit from all of you in this battle. As long as you can help Tenglong Base survive this crisis, Tenglong Base will reward you with unexpected benefits!"

After Zhuge Mingyue finished speaking, he scanned the faces of the people below for a moment with a sharp gaze.

Everyone had a different expression. They looked at each other, and everyone's face was full of complexity.

From initial disbelief to doubt to confusion and finally to acceptance, the expressions on everyone's faces kept changing.

Seeing that everyone had begun to accept this fact, Zhuge Mingyue withdrew his gaze.

Seeing the atmosphere was a bit oppressive and silent for a while, Zhuge Mingyue tapped the table lightly and said, "Okay, now let's discuss how to distribute the combat power and spoils!"

Next, a discussion lasting several hours began in the conference room.

The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became noisy.

After an unknown amount of time, the meeting ended.

Everyone left the meeting room.

When Ji Mingyan was about to leave with his arm around Lin Yao's waist, he was suddenly stopped by Zhuge Mingyue.

"City Lord Ji, may I have a word with you?"

Ji Mingyan frowned slightly, glanced at Lin Yao who nodded secretly, and said, "Okay!"

In the City Lord's Mansion, there is a small pond with koi.

The two sat opposite each other. Zhuge Mingyue picked up the teapot and said, "City Lord Ji, this is the new tea picked in the early autumn of this year. Please enjoy it!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Mingyue had already rolled up his sleeves and poured a glass for Ji Mingyan.

Ji Mingyan picked up the still hot teacup and drank it in one gulp.

Zhuge Mingyue hesitated for a long time, looking at Ji Mingyan with a slightly reproachful look.

Such good tea is like a cow chewing a peony!

What a waste!

Zhuge Mingyue frowned slightly.

Ji Mingyan didn't care about that. He drank it in one gulp and said hurriedly, "City Lord Zhuge, tell me what you want to say!"

He was in a hurry to go back and be with his wife!

Zhuge Mingyue choked, but after a moment she returned to her usual cold expression.

After taking an elegant sip of the tea in the cup, Zhuge Mingyue spoke calmly, "I'm here to ask City Lord Ji a favor!"

Ji Mingyan tilted his head in confusion, "Can you please do me a favor?"

"City Lord Zhuge, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. We don't seem to be familiar with each other. This is only the second time we've met!"

Zhuge Mingyue smiled slightly, "Although we are indeed not familiar with each other, I still trust City Lord Ji's character!"

As Zhuge Mingyue spoke, her cold eyes slowly looked towards Ji Mingyan, filled with complex emotions that Ji Mingyan could not understand.

Ji Mingyan frowned and blurted out, "What do you mean?"

Ever since arriving at Tenglong Base, he has acted like a spoiled dandy who doesn't know his place.

Zhuge Mingyue said this, could it be that he saw something?

Zhuge Mingyue curled her lips slightly and picked up a cup of tea. "I was fortunate enough to meet you once in a dungeon!"

"At that time, City Lord Ji was bold and careful, brave and strong. His actions in the dungeon were truly astonishing!"

Zhuge Mingyue stopped talking here and didn't say anything further.

Ji Mingyan was not a fool, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning in Zhuge Mingyue's words.
