Chapter 482: Chapter 237: Thoroughly Squeeze Dry (6k)

"Hiss...

What’s this drama?

Has a passionate anime been turned into a superhero movie?"

Bai Yi had just opened the Cycle Challenge panel when a rich, cinematic narration echoed in her ears.

With the unique cinematic background introduction texture, if Bai Yi hadn’t known the virtual instance’s story background beforehand, she might have actually thought it was some blockbuster of the year.

Although the panel’s antics were a bit hard to handle, Bai Yi was quite satisfied with the information from the narration.

Since the last time she was tricked by the monsters, the invasion frequency of monsters around the world had noticeably decreased, perhaps because the monsters suffered too much last time.

Over the past week, not only Bai Yi’s investment site, Donglin, and the recently monster-beaten Wu Jing, but also other human settlements were experiencing a rare peace.

They even had time to re-establish wireless communication. It was because these settlements reconnected to the wireless network that Bai Yi was able to learn about distant news from Donglin’s perspective.

In light of the previous victory, Donglin naturally had no reason to cover up; they shared all the details, even revealing their plans for a counterattack against the monsters.

The initial concealment of that trap was because they knew there were human traitors worshipping monsters. Once revealed, it could genuinely lead to failure.

But this counterattack plan didn’t have that worry. After all, they didn’t even have the essential foundation of the plan, which was finding the method to invade the monsters’ lair.

It was like an agricultural nation claiming to build nuclear bombs; no one believed it at all.

Even though they had just tricked the Monster Side, all that did was push back the monsters’ tentacles a bit, causing them pain, but their homeland remained untouched.

With insurmountable space barriers, even the monsters who had suffered losses would only chuckle at Donglin’s overestimation.

No one would believe Donglin could achieve it.

Crossing Space isn’t that simple!

Instead, after obtaining intelligence from those human traitors, it seemed Donglin was planning to use this victory to mobilize humanity and rebuild their confidence.

They hoped to use this momentum to reclaim many cities already destroyed by monsters, even those lords supporting the Monster Side saw it this way.

They believed that the spatial separation could only be broken by the monsters, and having the initiative in combat was almost written in the instance’s underlying logic.

Many thought that a major backer supporting Donglin was stretching humanity’s borders to earn more points rewards.

After all, the monsters’ one-way dispatches written in the virtual instance background weren’t easy to break through?

Regarding their own homeland’s safety, there were no worries about Donglin’s proposed plan.

Though Donglin didn’t know about these speculations, they themselves understood this reasoning.

Instead of hiding and covering up, it was better to be transparent; who knows, it might even gather more wisdom and ignite a spark of hope for success.

So Donglin had no intention of hiding and made the plan public.

And by leveraging the reputation of a great victory over the monsters, everyone could personally feel the monster attacks’ reduction or even a temporary halt.

The slogan for this counterattack quickly spread among all humans, with firm belief that this day would come.

This Donglin propaganda wasn’t without effect.

In the week following, just before Bai Yi started "watching movies," Donglin acquired results; a group of mysterious visitors traversed the distance to personally visit Donglin.

The visitors were an escort squad, tasked with bringing an important person, but that wasn’t the most important part.

What truly caught Bai Yi’s interest was that the escorts, upon arrival, were inquiring about the two siblings Bai Yi had invested in, claiming to admire the heroes and wishing to communicate with them.

That was obviously a clumsy excuse, even Bai Yi could see through it, let alone Donglin’s higher-ups.

These escorts clearly possessed powers not belonging to that world, and their conversations indicated they wanted to communicate not with the siblings, but with her, the Lord behind the scenes.

So, after receiving the information, Donglin’s higher-ups only stabilized them temporarily, refraining from giving further answers, and instead consulted Bai Yi’s opinion.

After Bai Yi had brought them an unprecedented victory last time, they already had no doubts about her, treating her as a true God and worshipping her.

Even though they had Tier Six Combat Power and Bai Yi herself wasn’t much more than that, they were devout towards her.

This gave Bai Yi some insight into gods and beliefs.

Honestly speaking, Bai Yi wasn’t much ahead in terms of power, but just that slightly superior strength and mystery made her their firm faith.

As many often say, as long as the health bar is visible, there’s no need to fear.

Bai Yi had some plans for future preaching among human believers, but that wasn’t the main focus now; after synchronizing the corresponding thoughts to a certain Avatar, Bai Yi continued to redirect her attention back to the instance.

According to the visitors, they specifically chose this time to visit, though there was some necessary time consumption due to traveling.
