After a brief cheer, Star quickly realized the problems ahead. Even a small BOSS was so difficult to defeat; the main BOSS of this quest would be even harder. Relying solely on the twelve angels he had on hand was definitely not going to work. It seemed necessary to spend some reputation points to buy some troops from the Unicorn King.
But Star remembered something and asked, "After you lost your main forces yesterday, why didnāt you use your alliance reputation to keep buying troops?"
Li Yinzhu sighed, "Of course, that bad guy was constantly watching me. If I bought troops, and he attacked me again, wouldnāt I lose even more? By the way, if Oppa killed him twice, will he come back again?"
Star was taken aback. That was a good question. If the opponent was enraged and acted out of hatred, it was entirely possible he would come! If he came for a sneak attack again when we fought the main BOSS, it might be the end of my reputation. If I canāt handle him, my reputation could be ruined forever!
Conflicted, Li Yinzhu sighed, "Even in our current state with no troops, he keeps attacking regardless of cost. If we had a large army, it would definitely provoke him more. So as long as heās around, itās inconvenient for us to recruit troops."
Star frowned. Indeed! If Iām still this solitary commander, he might think thereās nothing to gain and wouldnāt bother attacking. But if I had a large army, he might come for sure!
Li Yinzhu continued to sigh, "Oppa, you and he are from the same country. Could you go back and talk to him properly? Wouldnāt it be great to team up for quests together? If Oppa offers to return his equipment, I believe he would cooperate obediently."
Starās brow twitched wildly! Oh my, this girlās thoughts are really naive and romantic! Even if heās willing to cooperate, Iām not willing to return his equipment! Itās S-class equipment, and I have so many vice heroes still without decent gear!
Even if I consider our fellow nationals and generously let it go, who would return my unique Nuclear Bomb Crystal? How would I make up for the mana of Light Tears Iāve consumed for showing off? It needs time to recharge, and my time is more precious than anyone elseās. Itās still a loss for me!
Also, in negotiations, whoever opens their mouth first admits defeat! How could someone of my status concede defeat to this fool? Not to mention teaming up with him to finish this foolās quest, is he really thinking Iām a Great Saint who repays evil with kindness? Impossible!
In short, thereās nothing to talk about with this national disgrace! I seriously suspect he has a Divine Artifact, and Iām irritated if I donāt make him drop it! Iām also set against him, itās only a bit of reputation, and Iām genuinely not afraid of him coming! If he dares to comeāā
At that moment, a flash of insight suddenly surged into Starās mind!
Li Yinzhu stared at Star for a long time, yet hadnāt gotten a reply. She asked curiously, "Oppa, whatās the matter?"
Star came back to his senses after a while and waved with a smile, "Oppa feels that thereās nothing to discuss with such a bad person. I can only apologize to someone whoās gone crazy for fame. Itās okay, Iāll go back and buy some troops with reputation, if he wants to come, let him come."
Li Yinzhu said, "What if he sneaks up on us while weāre fighting the BOSS?"
Star laughed, "Then weāll deal with it when the time comes. We canāt just stop and be restrained because of him. But you donāt need to recruit troops, Oppa will take on all the risks."
Li Yinzhu quickly shook her head, "I trust Oppa, Iām with Oppa for better or worse, Iāll go back and buy troops too!"
Star laughed, "Donāt cry if the team gets wiped!"
Li Yinzhu smiled, "Oh well! Itās just a bit of reputation, once back home I can rest a few days, and naturally have logistics players grind the reputation back up."
Star shook his head and smiled, "Alright, since no one cares about reputation, letās fight with all weāve got! Now letās head back to the city!"
Li Yinzhu cheered excitedly, "With Oppa here, I finally have the courage to recruit troops!"
Thus, Star and Li Yinzhu started heading back to the city, and along the way, Starās tactical response began to gradually take shape. When he returned to Forest Lake, the first thing Star saw at the Resurrection Point was the Mars People sitting dejectedly like a dog. Star chuckled wryly, and at that moment, his tactical plan was fully formed!
Indeed, donāt fight unprepared battles! Even I am touched by my own cleverness! Star gave a middle finger from afar and mocked, "Fool! Youāre just a disgrace to China; every time you come, Iāll kill you, until youāre too afraid to leave the city!"
Li Yinzhuās expression changed; she waved her hands urgently and said tremblingly, "Oppa, donāt provoke him! Heāll go crazy!"
Star laughed heartily, "The crazier the better! Just send him to the asylum so he wonāt embarrass himself in the game!" Then he continued giving middle fingers.
Li Yinzhu was completely speechless, so she turned back to ask the coach, "Is Star intimidating him? Or deliberately provoking the opponent?"
Jin Xiyong shook his head and smiled, "Who cares about that, Chinese people are just jokers. Weāll just watch the show. By the way, our Special Action Group is about to deal with that Bloodrose Guildās ditzy beauty; Yinzhu, do you want to watch?"
Li Yinzhu chuckled, "Oh? Why is the beauty ditzy?"
Jin Xiyong laughed, "Itās just that in the game, she often stands there motionless, itās simply irresistible! Yinzhu, you shouldnāt emulate her."
Li Yinzhu laughed, "Alright then, quickly switch the screen!"
....
At this time, in Bloodrose Studio. In response to the probable cross-zone counterattack from Japan, the guild leader Zhou Qing coordinated with major guilds to disseminate preventive measures in every team chat group.
Meanwhile, Bloodrose Qiqi, representing Bloodrose Guildās cross-border expedition, was bored guarding the city and occasionally switched out of the game to browse forum posts.
Next to her, Bloodrose Xiaoyu read sarcastically, "Our China Region sent four beauties for cross-border battles, namely Star Goddess Bu Feiyan, Bloodrose Guildās Bloodrose Qiqi, Da Fei Guildās Yanranās Smile and Bai Huasha. These four beauties each guard a section of the Ancient Tree Wall, apparently fighting individually, but secretly compete and compareāā"
Bloodrose Qiqi quickly closed the post, speaking irritably, "Stop reading!"
Bloodrose Xiaoyu laughed and switched forums to open the post again, continuing to read: "Currently, three beauties have received videos endorsed by Star, and their popularity has skyrocketed, quickly rising to the top of search headlines on major websites, dubbed āFei Girlsā while only Bloodrose Qiqi hasnāt received a video, likely to be eliminated in the first round!"
Bloodrose Qiqi was aggravated, "Who is the bastard posting this? I have nothing to do with Star, okay! What Fei Girls, how disgusting, itās like Star is some major star, director, or Emperor!"
Xiaoyu laughed, "You claim thereās no relationship, yet youāre so engrossed in reading the post?"
Bloodrose Qiqi replied irritably, "When others discuss me in posts, of course, I have to look. If they were discussing you, wouldnāt you look too!"
Beside her, Bloodrose Holy Spear reminded, "Qiqi, donāt get distracted by the forums. The forums these days arenāt normal, with all sorts of messy posts popping up endlessly. Donāt be misled or guided by the content of the posts, not even hinted!"
Bloodrose Qiqi stuck her tongue out, "Got it, Sister Ann!"
Hence, Bloodrose Qiqi shut down the forum, switched back to the game, and was greeted with a scene of gloom!
Bloodrose Qiqiās eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "I was pushed off the city wall and died!" (To be continued.
