Chapter 203: Realizing Wei Huan’s “ambition”
These days, whether challenging the world or the blue planet, the focus of human attention has always been on the five-star island.
This huge island in the fifth-level world is indeed comparable to a continent and is large enough to build cities for more than fifteen countries.
If everyone initially considered how many resources would regularly spawn on such a massive island, and how much prestige would be gained from securing a spot, then after days of debate, the island's supplies were no longer important. Building a city on this continent had become imperative.
It represents the country's status in the alliance army, represents that the continent will be prosperous, and also represents that when the beast tide comes, countries can help each other.
Osama was unable to withstand the pressure from the combined forces of other countries and had to publicly declare that "negotiations are possible."
But how to talk about it?
No one knows the answer until the final result comes out.
On this day, high-level officials from the fifth-level world connected online to discuss this matter.
What conditions would Osham demand before allowing a city to be built on the Five-Star Island? Would it be supplies? Or would it be for other nations to recognize their dominance?
But no matter what everyone speculated, when the pioneering teams from various countries in Osham held a historic meeting, what no one expected was that the focus of discussion for many days would undergo a historic turning point on the morning of that day.
An even more explosive news appeared on the world channel.
[Mu Zhong: We are currently conducting a clearing operation against diamond-level monsters at coordinates XXXX.XXXX. Please do not enter the combat zone, and especially do not enter our attack zone. The situation is tense and there is a risk of accidental injuries.]
Such a message, which was only said once, may disappear from the world channel in the blink of an eye.
But anyone who happens to see this message cannot ignore the amount of information contained in this statement.
No one in the level five world does not know who Wei Huan is, and no one does not know who Mu Zhong, Wei Huan’s lover, Mu Dehao’s son, who controls the driver sequence professional training ground, is.
Of course, with so many humans, there are bound to be cases of people having the same name.
But the number of people who would issue such a "circle battle" announcement is probably very limited.
And when I looked closely, oh shit!
What the hell is a diamond-level monster? Are you seeing things?
The first reaction of people who saw this message was to rub their eyes and confirm it again and again.
Then, after a few seconds of strange silence on the world channel, the information popped up like a screen refresh.
[Diamond monster? Are you kidding? Even for Wei Huan, this is a joke too much, right?]
[I don't believe it. Daxia must have a conspiracy. Could it be targeting the split of Five Star Island?]
"Daxia is playing a good trick. Everyone knows that we received diamond boxes as rewards when we killed 100,000 monsters. Are you trying to use those equipment to prove that you killed diamond monsters?"
There are also those who are slow to respond but are not ashamed to ask questions.
[Can someone explain to me what benefit Daxia gained from telling this lie? I still don't understand.]
【What happened to the diamond box rewards? 】
[Is this true or false? Explain it logically!]
In fact, looking at it this way, most people believed Mu Zhong's statement at least 50%, otherwise there would not be such a discussion.
If any other unknown person said this, they would only be met with a "Pah" and no one would even bother to waste their saliva.
But now, as challengers appointed by the state and under strict management, they can't help but express their opinions on the world channel.
Compared to how to divide the "cake" of the Five-Star Island, killing diamond monsters is more of a hot topic, right?
First and foremost, if this is true and we can confirm a kill, it means we already have a level six tank, or a level six professional. Breaking through from 0 to 1 is often the most difficult. We were trapped in a level four world for three years before entering this world.
Sequence Six is above this world. If Wei Huan truly possesses this power, every nation would listen to him, indicating that he has mastered the path to advancement.
[That's right, building a city on a continent is nothing. The upward channel is the lifeblood of this world. If Osham wants to continue to be the boss by holding the city construction, he needs to ask Daxia and Wei Huantong for their consent.]
[Also, to explain, Wei Huan has diamond equipment, but the stats of diamond equipment from lower-level worlds aren't as high as those from higher-level worlds, so there's no way to fake it, especially the core materials for upgrading from level 5 to level 6. If he actually took them out, the tide would immediately turn against Daxia.]
Many people also reacted to this reminder.
【Let’s take a look at the materials. 】
【The equipment is sent out for inspection. 】
[If you really killed a diamond-level monster, show me the proof.]
"Are you crazy? I've already said they're killing people, and yet you still want evidence?"
[This coordinate is deep in the no-man's land. Is anyone nearby looking at this? ]
[Please give me a live broadcast. I haven't even seen a gold-level monster. What does a diamond-level monster look like?]
After this heated discussion lasted for five minutes, Mu Zhong did not keep the topic in suspense for too long.
He sent his second message.
[Mu Zhong: [Diamond-level Strength Potion] (Locked), [Diamond-level Spiritual Power Necklace] (Locked), [Eternal Gold Stone] (Locked), [Sea Core Pearl] (Locked). The battle is ongoing. Please do not enter the battle area to avoid being affected.]
Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, there was a new round of discussion.
Many people hissed and licked the equipment's attributes, while others howled, "It's a Sea Core Pearl, the core of the entire level 6 tank. It's truly a diamond-level monster from the level 5 world."
Someone immediately questioned: "Locked, that means the monster hasn't been killed yet. They dared to touch a diamond-level monster. I wonder who will die in the end."
But whether you support it or not, no one is paying attention to the "division of the cake" on Five Star Island now. Everyone's attention is on this matter.
There were also tanks that were a little closer, and they all received orders or asked for instructions on their own initiative and drove towards the coordinates.
The leader of Osham, who had already been connected and was proudly raising his chin, preparing to preside over the "Five-Star Island City Construction" meeting, had lost his smile and looked at the leaders of Daxia with gloomy eyes.
Although Fang William was called the captain, he had already been a lieutenant general and a commander-level official, responsible for the combat affairs of the Suzaku Legion's pioneering army.
The meeting representative of Xuanwu and Baihu is the commander who is mainly responsible for logistics operations.
The Azure Dragon Legion is of course also responsible for the land reclamation and construction by Mu Dehao.
So after scanning a circle of Osam generals, the leader of Osam finally set his eyes on Mu Dehao's face.
You can almost hear the sound of his teeth grinding and crunching.
He said with a forced smile, "Commander Mu, may I ask what you are trying to do, young master?"
Mu Dehao's handsome face was filled with a smile, and it was not difficult to see the pride in his eyes. He said calmly, "The generals are out there making decisions based on the actual situation. I'm afraid that outsiders may have affected their battle, so they made this announcement. But don't worry, killing monsters will not affect our allocation of the Five Star Island."
The Osam leader clenched his fists.
No impact?
Oh, no impact?
I was just about to distribute the five-star island, and you're holding the key to the ascending world. Isn't this a threat?
Is it because the distribution is not ideal that the channel key will not be given?
Although he was nearly mad with rage, the leader of Osham had to admit that the current Osham was incapable of opening treasure chests above gold. Even the gold treasure chests opened a few days ago had resulted in heavy casualties, and they ultimately had to seek help from Daxia to resolve the situation, but this also completely exposed the existence of the Five Star Island.
If you want to get the key to the ascending channel, you don’t know when it will take.
General Osam forced himself to calm down. After taking a few deep breaths, he leaned back in his chair and said casually, "The outcome of the diamond-level monster is more important. Let's talk about it after our meeting is over."
Who would have thought that Mu Dehao, always a good guy with a refined image, would suddenly speak up: "Do you know how powerful diamond-level monsters are? Mastering the passage key isn't the point. The point is that we in Daxia already have the ability to fight diamond-level monsters. So, before the battle ends, why don't we discuss the compensation for Xuanwu City and our Qinglong base?"
The corners of Leader Osam's mouth twitched, and the initiative that he had originally held through the Five Star Island disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, he really didn't know whether he should expect Da Xia to kill the diamond-level monster.
but……
After he closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes finally cleared up a bit. "Commander Mu, I'll be honest. If you can really kill that diamond-level monster, for the future of humanity, I will do my best to convince Congress that from now on, under reasonable circumstances, we will obey your Daxia's orders. I've had enough of this state of disunity. It's a pity that no country before this, not even your Captain Fang, has been able to convince me."
I have never heard such words before.
But the generals here all seemed to feel the same way.
Every general here has had enough of the days of fighting against the Dark Beast Lord, challenging the world, and engaging in intrigues with other countries.
Why can't humans unite like the dark beasts?
Without unity, can humanity really win in this competition of civilizations?
As the world level gets higher and higher, and the monsters they face become stronger and stronger, these generals actually have always had a unified idea.
But no one is willing to submit to anyone else.
Wei Huan’s battle with the diamond-level monster was indeed the “first hammer” that could lead to unity.
Everyone is willing to try and work hard to achieve the goal of unity.
After that, the video of the Five-Star Conference fell completely silent.
Compared with the liveliness of the world channel, it is like heaven and hell, completely different.
At this moment, after sending two messages in succession, Mu Zhong stopped talking.
There's nothing much to say.
If the diamond-level monsters were really killed by them, the world situation might change.
If they cannot be killed, facing the pursuit of diamond-level monsters, they will die here, and their lives will not be taken care of after death.
"Contact the other chariot."
Mu Zhong had an idea and, as the deputy captain, he sent a video call request to the chariot that Xunfeng Zhulang had followed all the way here.
The video call was connected, and the person on the other end was a middle-aged woman with dark skin. Her resolute face was certainly not good-looking, but it was obvious that she was quite strong.
To be able to become a tank captain of the pioneering army in the level 5 world, at worst, one must have the same combat power level as Captain Xue and Hammer Brother.
Even though they are not very powerful in Wei Huan's car and are only the main combat team members, they are all talented generals in the pioneering teams of other countries.
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Mu Zhong, I have understood the specific situation. I have no ill intentions and you can leave now." The black female driver was very calm and stated her position as soon as she opened her mouth.
Mu Zhong said, "Captain, please don't leave so quickly. You've seen the power of the diamond monster. Its body is too huge. With our current combat power, it will take a long time to completely kill it. That's why I want to invite you to join the battle."
The black female conductor was suddenly invited and looked surprised.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, "It is an honor for the Mao Clan as well as for me to fight alongside the world-renowned Guard Captain and Lieutenant Colonel Mu."
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "Thank you to Captain Mao Shiguo and Captain Qiu En for extending a helping hand when we needed it. I also have a gift here, I hope you will be satisfied."
There are gifts?
Captain Qiu En wanted to say she wasn't helping out for the sake of a reward. After all, whether it was helping Daxia or getting to know Mu Zhong and Wei Huan, it was a sure-win investment. Furthermore, the world channel was still buzzing about something as important as "upward mobility." Although she was only the captain of a small nation, she knew that the opportunity for a reshuffle in the Challenge World was precisely the opportunity for captains like her.
Captain Qiu'en's first reaction was to refuse.
But before she could speak, her eyes were fixed on the document coming from the other side and she couldn't move them away.
I saw that on the file that opened automatically after being sent, there appeared a reward mechanism called [Temporary Alliance Army DKP System].
Just like the calculation method that is now popular within each tank, this "temporary DKP system" also gives them this temporary alliance DKP reward.
After agreeing to form a temporary alliance, they only need to record the entire process of participating in the battle, and the system will then record the statistics. Based on the amount of contribution, they will have DKP value, which can also be directly exchanged for corresponding equipment of different levels.
What made Qiu Enche's noses widen the most was the DKP exchange route, which made her crazy.
[In a temporary alliance, each joint action and each tank that meets the standard action will earn 5 DKP, and participating in the main battlefield battle will earn 10 DKP.]
After three temporary alliance actions, the two parties will formally sign a covenant. Each joint action will earn 8 DKP for support and 20 DKP for fighting in the main battlefield.
[With a formal alliance, after eight instances of coordinated support or three instances of coordinated main battles, both parties will become strategic partners. After signing the strategic alliance, support will earn 15 DKP, while main battles will earn 50 DKP. Under these conditions, DKP can be exchanged for "Level 6 Core Materials."]
When he saw the last sentence, which allowed him to use DKP to exchange for "Level 6 Core Materials", it was the main reason why Captain Qiu En's face changed drastically.
She couldn't help but ask eagerly, "Lieutenant Colonel Mu Zhong, are you saying that I only need to perform 11 supporting operations with your chariot, or 3 main battle operations, in exchange for level 6 core materials?"
Mu nodded. "Strategic alliances allow you to exchange DKP for core materials, and the exchange points are not high. If your tank can be the main force on the battlefield, after forming a strategic alliance, you only need to fight four more main battles to exchange for core materials."
Even if you add the DKP before the strategic alliance, the total cost of a level 6 core material is only more than 300 points.
This DKP number is not small, but too small.
The "pie in the sky" is so cheap that it makes people calm down and examine whether they may have been cheated.
Captain Qiu En looked at Mu Zhong's face again, thinking about the possibility that he was deceived, but on the other hand he asked himself, what could Wei Huan have planned for him?
I noticed something strange today and came here out of curiosity to see this scene. In fact, whether I was there or not, Wei Huan and the others obviously had the ability to deal with diamond-level monsters.
If you want to be cannon fodder, the "rules" also say that you can only do "support", and the conditions are very loose.
So suddenly drawing such a "big pie" feels more like an act of winning over rather than calculation.
Challengers who can reach the fifth-level world are not fools.
Not to mention the driver who basically manages a hundred people, he still has the ability to analyze the pros and cons.
Captain Qiu En was very smart and quickly figured out the truth.
"...Could it be that Wei Huan intends to use his prestige and his access to promotion channels to reorganize the coalition forces, overthrow the old corrupt system in one fell swoop, and establish a completely new power?"
As soon as this thought came to mind, Captain Qiu En knew that he might have guessed right.
Wei Huan has been too high-profile all along. He accumulated the highest popularity in the shortest time and implanted the myth of "invincible" in everyone's hearts.
Now that he has become so influential, he only needs to make a call from a high position, and a new order will be formed rapidly.
Although this new force is not stable enough and is bound to clash with the old forces, it is not a bad thing for small forces in marginal countries like them.
Change always brings opportunities.
"Lieutenant Colonel Mu, your terms are hard for me to refuse. I will sign this temporary cooperation agreement now, and I'm already looking forward to the day when it becomes a strategic alliance in the future."
Captain Qiu En was also a decisive person. He smiled on the spot and pressed his fingerprint on the screen.
It is true that she is a train captain from a small country, but it is precisely because she comes from a small country that she has a lot of power to make decisions on her own.
With her current strength and reputation, it would be easy for her to become a national leader if she just finds it troublesome.
Soon, the two sides signed a "temporary alliance", which was also the first "temporary alliance" signed by Wei Huan's chariot.
There are some coincidences here, and a little bit of haste.
But historical turning points often occur at some unexpected point in time, leading to a completely different path.
Captain Qiu En, who reached a "temporary alliance", was very calm and restrained. He only sought a "support" job, cleaning the "earthworm roots" in the marginal area and was in an environment where he could be evacuated at any time.
The "temporary alliance" was a process of building trust, and Mu Zhong did not comment on it. However, after completing this task, he turned and looked at Wei Huan.
In fact, from the appearance of Captain Qiu En, to Wei Huan's request to disclose the information about their battle with the diamond-level monster, to Mu Zhong signing the contract with Captain Qiu En, the entire time has only been about ten minutes.
For some things, Mu Zhong and Wei Huan didn't even discuss them in advance and just pushed them forward so quickly.
Now, when Mu Zhong went to see Wei Huan, what he saw in Wei Huan's eyes was recognition and trust, which was an absolute approval of his somewhat hasty action after his "flash of inspiration".
Although he was sure that he had done nothing wrong, this was Wei Huan's car after all. It was definitely wrong for him to set such alliance conditions without discussing it in advance.
Wei Huan simply said, "We'll do the same for the next cars that appear. Let the AI further refine the difference between supporting and main forces. Even if they're just playing soy sauce, there must be a minimum standard for playing soy sauce."
Mu Zhong smiled: "Okay."
Seeing Mu Zhong's smile, Wei Huan's eyes, which had become cold due to the battle, softened. As his left eye, which was burning with green flames, opened and closed, a strange band of light flowed out. Deep in that extreme evil nature, there was a touch of tenderness.
Mu Zhong understood him very well.
In fact, he had been thinking about how to unite the scattered human beings for a long time.
Facts have proved that the alliance army formed on the basis of national stance is not appropriate. There have been constant frictions between countries since ancient times, and various hatreds are involved. The key challenges of the world's changes are intertwined with the people's livelihood on the blue planet, which has led to the ambitions of all countries, but at the same time they are afraid to act rashly. In the end, this loose alliance that is neither high nor low was formed, which is extremely uncomfortable.
In this situation, it is obvious that since national forces cannot be perfectly integrated, it would be better for a second force to emerge, such as an "alliance force" with personal prestige like him, to reintegrate the forces.
Wei Huan had thought about it a long time ago, but he had never found the opportunity.
Should we say that Mu Zhong is indeed the one who understands him best? And he also tries to realize his "ambition" at the most appropriate time.
He has ambitions, but not to become the "Blue Star Captain". Instead, he wants mankind to achieve the ultimate victory and end this cruel competition among civilizations.
Taking his eyes away from Mu Zhong's face, Wei Huan took another look at the "World Channel" that appeared on the projection screen.
Everyone inside was discussing their battle against diamond-level monsters. This was indeed a good opportunity to announce the new force and make a strong debut.
Now, what they lack is a real record of killing diamond-level monsters.
Looking at the map again, after being scanned by the AI butler, the outline of the diamond-level monster was depicted.
The huge lair that stretched for thirty miles had been completely ravaged. After losing the spiritual erosion of the illusion, the monster, although equally powerful, was still devoured by them to the extent it is today.
The area of destruction has reached 80% to 90%. Theoretically, it should be on the verge of death, but I always feel that we have not yet truly killed the origin of this diamond monster?
"I plan to go another hundred miles." Wei Huan said to Mu Zhong.
Mu nodded: "Yes, if we don't find the core, we will never be able to kill it."
"Wait half a day longer and then we'll set off."
"Are you waiting for more people to come?"
"Yes, sign for a few more cars."
"The big teams have strict discipline and it's impossible for them to sign a contract."
"Then we have to spread the news through their mouths."
"Yes, small countries are more independent but more selfish, while big countries have more conditions. However, if trust can be gained, any country joining will be a great force."
"It's not easy for a big country to join. We should first lure them with benefits and accumulate strength. Once we advance to the sixth-order world, these forces will be divided, and the seventh-order world will be truly usable."
"The road ahead is long and arduous." Mu nodded, and finally looked at Wei Huan with bright eyes, "But I have confidence that I can succeed."
