Mu was "doing business" with Jacques. They could unlock the phone, but they couldn't work for free. "Copyright fees" were something these countries invented years ago.
This is destined to be a contest of physical and mental strength, and it requires a great deal of patience.
Wei Huan had already shifted his attention to the ice and snow fortress behind them.
In his previous life, Wei Huan was just an ordinary challenger who didn't reach the required level and was unaware that the professions that challenged the world could have so many predictive abilities.
The abilities of Mu Zhong's mother and Xu Qingqiang, along with the fact that they were deliberately led here, all indicate that the other party does indeed have a professional with extremely accurate predictions.
Even if you can find the location of high-level ruins, the number of them that can be opened is still too small.
Especially considering the advanced ruins in the assessment world, Wei Huan knew there must be quite a few. However, since those participating in the assessment world were all newcomers who had just entered the new world, they were certainly no match for the advanced ruins located on the edge of the world, which led to a large loss of resources.
There are monthly assessments, and the open world contains high-level ruins. If you can take everything from the ruins every time, you'll have so many top-quality resources.
Humanity neglected this aspect of development, which may be the reason why the overall progress lagged behind that of the Dark Beasts.
Now, as Wei Huan looks at the ice castle in front of him, what he desires most is a talent who can predict the location of the ruins.
Dou Lin is a prophet, but every prophet excels in different areas. Dou Lin can only be described as a "powerful combat artist," as he is not particularly adept at exploration, adventure, or management.
After turning his gaze back, Wei Huan called out to Mu Zhong, who was in the middle of negotiations, and whispered a few words in his ear, but Mu Zhong shook his head.
Mu Zhong said, "It was that female general from South Korea who predicted it."
"Then forget it." Wei Huan's expression was indifferent, and he immediately lost interest.
Even if some countries have conflicting positions, they are still reliable and can cooperate when things happen.
Some countries are different; cooperating with these kinds of people means you have to be constantly careful not to get stabbed in the back.
A country whose territory is built on another country's military base has long lost its backbone and self-respect.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong kept their conversation a secret, but Jacques, who had studied and spoke Bactrian language quite well, was able to decipher their lip movements.
Jacques glanced at the South Korean female general with a hint of sympathy. He didn't dislike this general, who was completely aligned with Osama, but he didn't like her either. It was like taking a dog out with him. He would remember to feed her, pat her on the head and call her "good dog" when he felt like it. That was about it.
It's important to understand that even Obama has many people who look down on South Korea. A country that lacks national pride and self-confidence and blindly follows whoever is stronger will find it difficult to earn the true respect of its colonial master.
In comparison, I still have some respect for Shi Hengchuanjing, who always tries to advocate doing things himself, despite my hatred for him.
However, no amount of respect can mask a nation's inferiority complex and arrogance stemming from its insufficient fighting capacity.
Jacques waited patiently for Mu Zhong and Wei Huan to finish their conversation, then said, "None of us can discern the value within the phone, so I personally prefer..."
We advocate providing sufficient global energy, including rare resources that are extremely scarce in your country, on a per-ton basis.
Mu Zhong said, "Things that challenge the world should be exchanged for resources that challenge the world. You can provide resources or equipment directly, or you can purchase them with points. If you want to open up the resources that you will receive as a reward for winning this opening battle to us, that is also possible."
Jacques frowned: "Of course I know, but challenging the world's resources is a matter of great importance, and I can't make a decision."
Mu Zhong said, "Colonel Jacques, please make the contact. We trust you will find a friendly negotiator."
Jacques nodded: "It's what I should do. But I came out on a mission this time and have temporarily entrusted the Angel Spear to Major Wei for safekeeping. I also need to bring back some tokens to prove that this conversation was real and valid."
"Of course," Mu asked Jacques. "What are your thoughts?"
"I heard that you developed a Platinum Ruins before entering the Assessment World, and even livestreamed it. Unfortunately, I couldn't witness your heroic figures in person while in the Challenge World. Platinum equipment is extremely rare and priceless in the Challenge World. If possible…"
Mu Zhong went to see Wei Huan.
Wei Huan nodded.
Jacques saw it, his face lit up with joy, and he said, "Thank you both for your trust. With this token, I am even more confident in urging this transaction to proceed."
Mu Zhong picked out one platinum-level piece of equipment from a pile of platinum-level items and traded it over.
If it were someone else, they might think that platinum-level equipment is more valuable. Even though theoretically no one would spend 500,000 points to buy platinum-level equipment, the fact is that very few people even put platinum-level equipment on the market.
In recent years, humanity has advanced too quickly, just as Wei Huancai discovered, resulting in a lack of development of the assessment world.
This resulted in the inability to develop Platinum Chests after reaching Level 4.
Of course, if you don't consider the loss of lives, you can still kill the Platinum-level treasure chest monster.
But no general in any country would treat the lives of his soldiers in this way.
The few platinum equipment items that have appeared in recent years are all scattered platinum equipment items obtained by the Challenge Legion when opening gold-level treasure maps.
There are also the treasure chest rewards that the top player on each leaderboard can receive.
What others consider extremely precious platinum equipment, while not exactly rare in Wei Huan's car, is certainly not of particularly high value.
Wei Huanche's biggest problem is that he doesn't have any talent to find treasures. Xu Qingqiang is the kind of guy who can only find treasures by relying on the difference in strength. With Wei Huanche's current strength, what level would it take to make him feel that he would definitely die when facing a relic?
When he saw Mu Chongzhen trade over the platinum-level equipment, Jacques immediately showed a look of "ignorance" and elation, but then he was surprised by the name of the item in his hand.
[Platinum-grade Summoning Flute]
Special and unique
Dark Job Restrictions
Summon the creatures of the night, listen to the whispers of the night winds, for the curse from the stars brings with it destructive power.
"A gift from the stars"
Without a doubt, given Jacques's abilities, he must possess data-driven equipment; it's just a matter of how it appears on him.
Moreover, his real equipment has already been transformed into an illusion.
Sam's military uniform obscured his identity, making it difficult to even discern his profession.
He is a [war expert]??'Come []_see the latest chapter_complete chapter'(), which is a rather special profession, belonging to the hunter sequence.
[Hunter] → [Beastmaster] → [Witchmaster] → [Summoner] → [Summoning Master]...
The upgrade path of the Hunter sequence shows that the entire Hunter advancement path is a summoning-oriented profession.
Before the emergence of true summoners like Wei Huan, the Hunter sequence was the only class that could lead "minions," and it was a powerful sequence that developed extremely well in both the early and late stages of the game.
The ultimate evolution of this sequence, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will be to become the "King of Beasts".
However, due to individual differences, the challenging world allows for unique evolutionary paths.
Take Jacques, for example.
Wei Huan knew Jacques somewhat. His path to advancement was rare, and he was famous for having won the world's number one ranking. Therefore, the Challenge University of Great Xia treated him as an exception and gave him a lecture.
The professor who challenged the sequence theory said, "Jacques has a special talent that they call Eagle Eye. As his strength grows, Eagle Eye's range becomes very long. Currently, he can see any location 100 kilometers away, and when he reaches Sequence Six, he can deliver items weighing no more than 6 kilograms."
Because of his exceptional talent, the Hunter Rank has opened up a new path for advancement.
Yes, everyone guessed correctly. With his superior range and throwing distance, he no longer needs the assistance of summoned beasts; his bullets can land anywhere within his line of sight. Therefore, improving the accuracy and lethality of his bullets has become the subject of his lifelong research.
Over the past decade, like most people, he went through the useless classes of Orc, Demon Hunter, and Summoner, but finally awakened his unique name at Sequence Five: "War Expert".
He completely abandoned the synergy of summoned creatures and focused solely on becoming a pure offensive hunter, ultimately gaining recognition from the world.
His bullets, when charged, can reach ten times their normal destructive power at their peak, enough to kill even the world's highest-level bosses.
The moment Jacques received the Platinum-grade Summoning Flute, he wondered if it was equipment exclusively for hunters. However, when he saw the "Dark Limited" description below, he sighed in regret.
The description of this equipment is a bit confusing, and its specific use is unclear.
However, the prefix "Platinum" doesn't lie, especially since high-level equipment often has the phrase "gift from the stars," which indicates that the equipment has an extraordinary origin.
This size is just right as a token of love.
"Alright, I'm glad we were able to complete the negotiations smoothly. I think you're very interested in this ice fortress, so we won't disturb your adventure any longer."
After saying that, Jacques was really about to set off.
Wei Huan, who hadn't spoken since then, suddenly said, "Keep the connection. 50 kilometers is our safe distance. If you turn back, I will consider this negotiation invalid."
Jacques paused for a moment, recalling whether he had mentioned that his maximum strike range was 50 kilometers. He then realized that it was meaningless; since Wei Huan had already accurately revealed his trump card, it meant that the other party already knew about him.
Strangely enough, instead of feeling angry or humiliated, I actually felt a sense of honor.
Jacques had a faint smile on his lips: "Okay."
Best wishes for your success.
After saying that, Jacques really led his Allied team off and soon drove out of the system's radar scanning radius.
The upgraded system radar can scan for enemy activity within a 10-kilometer radius. However, because of the connection between Jacques and Wei Huan's vehicles, his location will remain on the map until the distance between them exceeds a great distance... about two thousand kilometers, before he disappears from sight.
Wei Huan directly revealed his bottom line, naturally to ensure that he would not be attacked suddenly while developing the ruins.
However, seeing that the other party actually left obediently, and even after exceeding 50 kilometers, continued to walk further away, I was still a little surprised.
Did they go to great lengths to lure themselves to the edge of the world, even setting up an ambush with 200 cars, just to create an opportunity for cooperation? Isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?
"No, that won't happen." In a later conversation, Mu Zhong said, "You're too strong. Even with 200 chariots, he wasn't guaranteed to defeat you, let alone the fact that you were in the Great Xia's chariot formation, escorted by 2,000 chariots. Such treatment is unprecedented, not only in Great Xia, but in the entire world. No one can negotiate with you under such pressure; either side would be crushed by it. He has already done everything he could, utilizing all his resources, including his assessment of your morality and humanity, to take this crucial step."
Even with his rebirth, Wei Huan was not omnipotent; at least in diplomatic negotiations, he was not as meticulous as Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong answered his questions and also let him know that negotiations between major powers are not just about equals going back and forth, but also about finding ways to struggle for more room to maneuver even when at a disadvantage.
So, the Great Xia Dynasty is already this strong.
Yes, the Great Xia Dynasty is strong, not just Wei Huanqiang.
No matter how strong Wei Huan was, without the protection of a powerful motherland, he was nothing more than a lone wolf, inspiring fear but not reverence.
And so it wasn't until Jacques's convoy had traveled 100 kilometers that Wei Huan looked at the snow fortress again.
The nearly 300-meter-high conical building stood firm in the blizzard, its unusual architectural style arousing suspicion and giving off an ominous feeling.
Wei Huan's car slowly moved forward and stopped when it was about 500 meters away from the Ice and Snow Fortress. At the same time, the undead he had released earlier began to surge towards the entrance of the Ice and Snow Fortress.
Before entering, Wei Huan cautiously checked Jacques's location again, then asked Xu Qingqiang, "How are you feeling?"
Xu Qingqiang touched his nose and frowned: "This is a bit strange. Is the platinum from a Class IV highway really that potent? Why does it also smell a little good?"
After he finished speaking, everyone in the driver's seat frowned.
Then Liu Chengzhi excitedly said, "Could this be a diamond-level ruin? Or is it that we can get god-level fragments again? Wow! Whether it's god-level equipment or the professional training ground dropped by diamond treasure chests, it's all incredibly awesome!"
In fact, Wei Huan thought the same thing.
If the crisis is caused by the high level of the ruins, it's not a bad thing, but a good thing! The more high-level equipment the better, and no one complains that they don't have enough top-tier gear.
Just as Wei Huan was about to arrange for Ghost Raven to enter the ruins to explore and confirm, a text message from Jacques suddenly popped up on his screen.
[Shi Hengchuanjing has disappeared. I can no longer locate him. Please be extremely careful.]
"Shi Hengchuanjing?"
"The Shi family's?"
The angry voices of the crew members immediately filled the air. The relationship between the Great Xia and the Sangshu Kingdom had always been tense due to historical issues. Especially after Wei Huan learned that Mu Zhong's leg had been injured by people from the Sangshu Kingdom, he flew into a rage and dropped bombs on Shi Heng's house to clear the area.
From that moment on, the feud between Wei Huan and Shi Heng's family became irreconcilable.
Now that they know Shi Hengchuanjing is not only in Yac's convoy, but has just been confirmed to have disappeared, even Liu Chengzhi, who is least concerned about the war, knows that the other side is about to make a move.
The others became even more vigilant and instantly went into a state of combat readiness.
Mu Zhong further ordered: "Scan with the Heart of Steel!"
Wei Huan ordered the ghost crows that had just flown to the Ice and Snow Castle to return, and the underground beast mother beasts also began to gather around the vehicle.
At the same time, eight portals appeared around the vehicle, and the undead army poured out.
These changes happened quickly, prompting the lurking Shi Hengchuanjing to become aware of the anomaly.
The original plan was to make a sudden move when Wei Huan and the Platinum Monster were locked in a fierce battle, so that he could not only kill Wei Huan, but also potentially "reap the rewards".
He was almost having a mental orgasm from the scene he was imagining!
Suddenly, the scene unfolding before him caused Shi Hengchuanjing to panic, realizing he might have been exposed. He shouted, "Attack! Now! Attack!!"
Then, a car next to him suddenly broke through the snow and sped away like a cannonball toward the white minivan that was hovering in mid-air not far away.
It turns out they had been hiding deep in the snow all along.
The vehicle, being a level four vehicle, could instantly accelerate to a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour. At that moment, the distance between the two vehicles was less than 1,000 meters, and they were almost face to face in an instant.
Two vehicles were at the very front.
Both vehicles were equipped with vehicle-mounted bombs worth 100,000 points each.
A seemingly insignificant little thing, once installed on a car, turns the car into a bomb.
The level of the vehicle determines the level of the bomb; when detonated at point-blank range, its destructive power is comparable to that of a level 5 scroll.
This is a weapon that will destroy everything.
It was also the most tragic and desperate scene in Wei Huan's memory.
...One car after another, turned into fireworks of the apocalypse, painting this tragic scene with despair, even if they could never return...
"We humans are fearless in the face of death!"
"...For humanity!"
The old hatred was like a steel needle piercing Wei Huan's skull, stimulating all his anger and almost manic emotions.
Countless green beams of light rained down from the sky, a relentless bombardment that indiscriminately attacked friend and foe alike.
Green fluorescent light fell on the snow, on the tanks, on the protective shields, and of course, on the two bomb trucks that had ignited Wei Huan's fury, prompting him to commit a tragic act of mutual destruction.
So when the first bomb exploded, the whole world changed color.
The blizzard had stopped. Staring in astonishment at the green fireworks that had been blasted out of the snow, the flying snowflakes turned into smoke in mid-air, rising and transforming into drops of sorrowful tears.
No one can remain calm forever after witnessing the final moments of a battle.
Wei Huan was never at peace. Whether his eyes were open or closed, all he could see was the grief of losing his home, his people, and everything else. He never forgot the hatred, never forgot the pain of his country's destruction.
In the face of disaster, since internal strife will never cease, let's eliminate all dissidents and settle things with our fists.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Shi Hengchuan stared furiously at the car that was crashing into Wei Huan. Even though green fireflies were floating in the sky and he knew exactly what it meant, Shi Hengchuan stubbornly only wanted to see the final result.
Hatred had set his mind ablaze; his son, his mother, his family—everything was gone, reduced to ruins because of this man.
This was his last counterattack, and his last hope of turning things around.
By killing Wei Huan, he avenged himself and made a name for himself. Even if he was hunted down by the Great Xia afterward, he would be forever remembered in the history of the human race.
If killing him wasn't an option, he would take the enormous debt and his remaining clan with him to their deaths.
The hatred runs deep; right and wrong have long since become irrelevant.
Only by killing the other party can I vent my hatred!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Finally, his tank exploded, and the red flames, like a raging storm in the ocean, instantly engulfed the two vehicles.
But before he could even show a triumphant smile, more green bombs exploded before his eyes.
It exploded in mid-air, exploded on the snow, exploded on the car, and finally exploded right in front of you.
Time stretched out infinitely long at this moment, and Shi Hengchuanjing could almost break down each second into countless frames.
He saw a firefly-like green flame land on the vehicle's protective shield, followed by a flash of blue light. He also saw one, two, two four, five bombs hit the shield, shattering it into pieces like glass.
He also saw the moment the vehicle shook violently, and the panicked expressions on everyone's faces inside. He also saw his eyes widen as the roof of the vehicle was torn apart by the explosion, and green flames engulfed his head.
Finally, he saw the place swallowed by red, and after the blood-red flowers withered, a car as white as a pearl bloomed in the heart of the flower.
And there she stood, shimmering, graceful and elegant, before him.
"Boom!"
A dense aura of darkness, along with the chilling flames of the underworld, swept through every space within the arena.
The terrifying energy spread like a catastrophe, freezing the people inside the car, and finally, due to the impact of the distance, turning them into white powder that fell down with a soft rustling sound.
It seems that only at this moment did the fear of death truly descend upon Ishigaki Kyo's heart.
His expression began to contort, his eyes became bloodshot, and he turned and rushed toward the door.
I want to live, I don't want to die.
He regretted it. Even living a rotten life would have been better than dying.
Humans have already possessed the power of gods, and are destined to become gods in the future. I really want to see such a future, and I really want to experience it.
run...
run...
run...
"boom
rumble!"
"Boom!"
"..."
The incessant detonation of bombs, accompanied by earth-shaking tremors, swept in from behind.
But then at a certain moment, Shi Hengchuanjing could no longer hear anything.
He suspected that his eardrums might have been ruptured by the explosion, which was why he had gone deaf.
Until his vision froze, and as he fell downwards, darkness pressed in from the edge of his vision towards the center.
He realized that he was going to die.
Unfortunately, even such a thought was pitifully short-lived, and then his world, like the darkness that descends precisely at 6 pm every night to challenge the world, was shrouded and pulled into its deepest depths.
Even our thoughts froze...
...
The Shi family has a total of six vehicles, each of which is a Class IV vehicle.
In fact, the Shi Heng family has more than just these cars. This time, in order to target Wei Huan, Shi Heng Chuanjing not only contributed the most to the guerrilla alliance, but also took a gamble and transferred all of the Shi Heng family's cars in the second-level world to the assessment.
In the alliance team, the Guangshi Heng family alone has 39 cars.
So when Shi Hengchuanjing left behind 6 cars and the others continued with Jacques, the others helped cover Shi Hengchuanjing's operation.
When Jacques stopped, the remaining members of the Shi family knew they had been exposed.
At the same time, their clan leader, who had been in constant contact with them, issued the order to attack.
At that moment, these people were both nervous and excited, anticipating a victory they had been planning for a long time.
However, this video call became a nightmare for all of Shi Heng's surviving family members.
They witnessed firsthand how the head of the household's car was engulfed by a bomb and torn to pieces by the force of the explosion.
They even witnessed Shi Hengchuanjing's face change from flushed and rosy to stiff and pale after being engulfed by the Netherfire, before being blasted into powder and falling to the ground with a soft rustling sound.
Some people immediately felt dizzy and fainted.
The Shi Heng family is completely finished!
