"This competition has eliminated some small forces that have no chance of competing, and there are a total of twelve qualified participants. Among them, the three that are currently considered to have the best chance of winning are the H Party, the Salvadoran Alliance, and the Mos Mercenary Group."
He paused here, turned his head to look at Qin Sheng, and met Qin Sheng's gaze.
Zhu Xiyuan grinned at her: "Don't look at me, it's just that our Swastika Alliance isn't here."
When it comes to rankings in the O Continent, the 卍 Alliance is definitely in the top three, basically ranking first or second. However, the competition rules set this time are not very friendly to the 卍 Alliance.
Zhu Xiyuan sighed and continued, "The competition will consist of the three events I mentioned last time: hacking, hand-to-hand combat, and shooting. Each event is worth ten points. The ranking will be based on the order of the winners: first place gets ten points, second place gets nine points, third place gets eight points, and so on down to tenth place, one point. The team with the highest total score will win the mining rights."
"Among them, the H Party has Gunshen, the world's number one marksman, and any mercenary in the Mos Mercenary Group is a fighting expert. The Samon is slightly weaker, but whether it is hacking, marksmanship or fighting, they have top-notch experts. In addition, they have recruited foreign aid from all over the world in the past six months. No matter which one of them is, they have the capital to compete for the number one spot."
But the swastika alliance is different...
Zhu Xiyuan frowned and said, "We do have some people who are good at these three projects, but they are just average. Getting points is not a problem, but it will be much more difficult to compete for the top three."
If you can't even guarantee a top-three finish in each category, then dreaming of getting first place overall is just wishful thinking.
It's almost impossible.
He had tried to find outside help, just like the H Party and the Sham Alliance, but those three forces had their eyes on the Swastika Alliance. As long as they made contact with a big shot in any industry, the Swastika Alliance could turn around and offer double, or even three or four times the price to poach that person.
There's only one principle: no matter who wins, we just won't give your swastika alliance a chance.
They still have some money. If one force isn't enough, then three forces will attack together. They don't believe they can't crush your 卍 Alliance.
Zhu Xiyuan was so angry that it was as if one Buddha had ascended to heaven and two Buddhas had been born!
But there's really nothing we can do about them.
The main problem is... he's poor!
Others can spend two, three, four, five, or six times the price to poach people, but he can't spend two, three, four, or five times the price to poach them back!
One reason is that they are reluctant to part with it, and another is that the Wanmeng Alliance is not yet financially powerful enough to support it.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiyuan couldn't help but look at his boss and said with a resentful expression, "In the end, it's all your fault."
"If you hadn't lent so much money to the Manzu Alliance, I wouldn't have been unable to even afford to poach someone, and I would have just watched helplessly as Mos and his people poached the people I had painstakingly recruited at exorbitant prices."
Qin Sheng: ...How did we end up talking about her again?
She doesn't argue with him, does he really think she's easy to bully?
Qin Sheng stopped and stared at him intently: "You want to settle the score, right?"
Okay, then that's settled.
Without even checking the information, Qin Sheng blurted out, "When I left after the establishment of the 卍 Alliance five years ago, I left 100 million in the public accounts."
"Over the past five years, all the drugs and elixirs developed by the QS base have been sold through the 卍盟's channels."
"Did you sell the AI robot I left with the 卍Alliance?"
“I saw a few array formations on the black market intranet before, and they looked quite familiar.”
"Three years ago..."
Qin Sheng couldn't continue speaking.
She felt a weight on her foot, and when she looked down, she saw a face full of remorse. Zhu Xiyuan hugged her leg tightly and said with utmost sincerity, "It's all my fault. You are the leader of the Wan Alliance, and the things of the Wan Alliance belong to you. I was stingy, I was petty, and I was ungrateful. Please forgive me this time!"
Qin Sheng chuckled: "I heard you opened a secret account?"
He chuckled again: "And you have a secret vault full of gold?"
Zhu Xiyuan: "..."
His face was filled with horror!
We were discovered?!
He wanted to turn around and look at his two trusted subordinates, but he managed to hold back.
With a fawning grin, he said, "Well, boss, you're an adult now, aren't you? I heard you even have a fiancé, so you must be getting married soon. All that gold was specially saved up to be your dowry in the future!"
Oh, I see.
Qin Sheng nodded and casually pressed the play button on her phone.
A familiar voice immediately came through the receiver: "Isn't that you, boss? You're an adult now! I heard you even have a fiancé, so the wedding must be just around the corner. All that gold was specially saved up as your dowry!"
Zhu Xiyuan: "???"
Zhu Xiyuan: "!!!"
There's a "fuck" here that he's unsure whether he should say or not!
Qin Sheng had already lost his coldness. He reached out and helped the person up from the ground, his expression unusually gentle: "I know about your filial piety, but the sentiment is enough. There's no need for such a grand ceremony."
She patted Zhu Xiyuan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You are, after all, the vice leader of the alliance and the head of the swastika alliance. It would be very bad if someone saw this."
Zhu Xiyuan: "..."
She's changed. She's really changed.
Back then, his father was such an honest, indifferent, and money-grubbing person. How did he turn into such a black-hearted and ruthless person in just a few years?
They'll rip you off without batting an eye!
Zhu Xiyuan shed a bellyful of bitter tears, but could only manage a smile and say, "I understand, it won't happen again."
Qin Sheng nodded in satisfaction.
Only then did they begin to move forward again.
Zhu Xiyuan followed, but his steps were visibly heavy.
The two confidants exchanged a glance, and to their delight, they saw a smile in each other's eyes.
Cough cough cough.
They absolutely did not mean any schadenfreude.
I just feel that their vice leader is getting stingier and more audacious every day, and someone needs to teach him a lesson.
Only the eldest brother could do that...
but!
I still really want to laugh!
Hahahahahahahaha!

Zhu Xiyuan suffered a major setback and was listless the whole way. It wasn't until he got in the car and they were almost at the Wanmeng branch that he came to his senses and remembered the most important thing.
He immediately looked at Qin Sheng: "Those two behind you, are they the people you brought?"
They were referring to Mo Huang and Jiang Fu in the car behind.
Qin Sheng hummed in response, not understanding what he meant: "Otherwise what?"
So that's how it is?
Zhu Xiyuan felt somewhat relieved.
It seems she still kept her promise to him in mind.
I just don't know which one of them is good at hand-to-hand combat and which one is good at shooting, and what their skill level is, and whether they have a chance of getting into the top three.
Just as I was about to ask for more details, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.
With a screeching sound, the car came to a stop, leaving several obvious tire tracks on the ground. The people inside were still shaken.
