Longzhong Plan in Another World

"How could someone capable of such a thing be a bad person? How could they possibly persecute a wise, hardworking, and responsible descendant?"

While remaining in the position of being ridden beneath him, Kang De uttered these words.

The Parrot above fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, Kang De felt a soft sensation on his back as two warm, water-ball-like objects pressed against it. Then, he felt a warm sensation on his earlobe, and hot breath from his mouth sprayed onto his left cheek.

The former Phoenix King, who was sitting on his waist, stretched out his body and lay on his back.

I said...

Malegith's tone was somewhat playful. "Are you flirting with me, or with Dairila?"

Ah! That won't do!

For example, if such contact is maintained...

--I'm about to move the entire Earth!

Although he felt a mix of panic and exhilaration, Kang De tried his best to remain calm.

Don't underestimate this thieving bird.

He arrogantly declared, "I'm not a child anymore, can't I flirt with everyone?"

Because he was lying on the ground, he couldn't see the Parrot's expression or face, but he could hear her humming and laughing, "You can only choose one? Me or Dairila?"

She whispered seductively in Kang De's ear, "Look, I can become Dairila, but Dairila can't become me. Choosing me will bring double the fun. She's shy and reserved, not fun at all. Not only that, choosing me means we can play online games together, and we can even build Gundams together..."

Indeed, Parrot are among the few amazing creatures that are extremely interested in modern electronic products. They are also a strange species that enjoy watching Paradox Interactive's five iconic gadgets. They can even play PS4 with Kang De using their two nimble little claws. After getting skilled, they can even beat Kang De so badly that he almost lost the game. They have even learned a foreign language from Kang De, speaking Zaun fluently. Moreover, this guy is super fast at assembling Gundam and Lego.

Such a close companion for a shut-in, even if it's just Parrot, is extremely precious and rare. It can even transform into a noble and beautiful elven king—and it can even perform illusionary play.

Which man wouldn't love that?

Kang De exclaimed, "But Dairila is younger than you! Aa...

He pounded the ground again, signaling his surrender.

The Parrot grabbed his arm with one hand, nimbly spun around, and began to slap Kang De's bottom with lightning speed, making a series of loud slaps.

"Damn it, this is the first time in my life I've sacrificed my looks and even sold my body for you, and you stinking idiot, you don't even speak a human word! You heartless bastard, you turned around and smashed your figurine cabinet!"

Kang De shouted, "Then show yourself! It's strange that you're doing this and that to me with Dairila's face and body—it's very unfair to her."

"You damn bastard, you've only been gone a few days and you're already siding with outsiders!" Malegith continued slapping Kang De's buttocks, yelling, "Damn it, I've already given up the throne and the country to these traitors, can't you just use her pseudonym to seduce men and ruin her reputation so you can have some fun?!"

What you said makes so much sense that I'm speechless.

"I'm not happy about this!" Kang De shouted, "What's the difference between this and you wearing a leather suit and having sex with me?"

The Parrot scoffed, "Didn't you enjoy using that vibrator? Who was that person complaining all the time about not being able to find a sex doll in the whole neighborhood?"

Kang De blushed.

Niang Xipi.

When you're far from home, feeling lonely and longing to confide in someone, why would you be wary of mere animals?

As a result, these guys learned everything about Kang De while living on the island...

"Anyway, change back!"

"I don't!"

"Why! Aren't we best friends! After you regained your freedom and became the person you used to be, shouldn't I be the first person to see you like this?!"

"I won't, I won't."

"Hey, are you actually short, ugly, and small?"

"Yes, yes, you'd better run out right now and shout that the previous Phoenix King Malegith, was an ugly, short, and tiny elf. See if those guys outside will prick you into a hedgehog."

"Then why won't you let me see it?"

As he asked this question, Kang De received a sharp rap on the head.

"Think for yourself," Malegith chuckled. "I'll show you when I come up with something."

"..."

Kang De shook his head and said in a low voice, "Never mind, let's get down to business. I'm here to ask you something..."

"Go ahead and ask, what's up?"

"There are many, the first one..."

"Oh, right, first of all, let me state that I don't know anything about A Xing's background, who that simp dragon is, what the previous Fire Thief was called, who sent the Grewind Swarm, or who will be the next one to emerge from the island..."

Malegith said calmly, "Ask away."

"..."

--So, what was my question again?

--This is ridiculous! What do you mean you don't know?! You just don't want to tell me!

--You already said that dragon is a simp dragon!

Kang De remained silent for a long while, then suddenly said slowly, "What is my mission?"

The Fire Thief.

After the Armor-Donning Ritual, he was taken by the magical creatures to the altar of the Fire Thief.

That should be the burial place and sacrificial site of the previous Fire Thief.

He accepted the mission of stealing fire from the other party.

Stealing fire.

What exactly does it mean?

This power can return matter to its origin, usurp the abilities and essence of living beings, analyze divine power, read memories, and decompose informational beings like Tacitus.

What exactly is it, and what does it mean?

This was a question that had troubled Kang De for a long time.

It is also closely related to his experiences and his life.

It's as if all of this was predetermined.

He inexplicably transmigrated to an isolated island in another world, an abandoned place that sealed the tombs of ancient figures and Fire Thief. At the same time, he also transmigrated again, to a mirror world that was exactly the same as Earth, a desolate place filled with White Mist.

The White Mist is a sign of impending doom recorded in the Crimson Scroll, a source of power extracted from the human body by the Grewind Hive. The Fire Thief is the messenger who will end the Grewind Swarm; he heard the Sound of Doomsday while reading the Hive's memories... Earth, another world, the White Mist World —a mysterious connection is formed between the three.

He is the center and hub of all of this.

He wanted to know the patterns, the connections, and... fate.

I originally thought that time travel was just a coincidence, an extremely rare occurrence.

But now he's wavering.

Because that voice said that fate cannot be changed, everything is already predetermined.

He said softly, "Why me?"

Malegith above also fell silent, the smile on her lips gradually fading.

Although it was still that subtle, even slightly suggestive, pose, she reached out and gently stroked Kang De's head—the top one, of course.

Her voice softened, even carrying a hint of nostalgia and wistfulness.

This scenario seems to have already happened once before.

In the long, long past.

From the elves' perspective, it's been a very, very long time.

The Phoenix King said softly, "It seems you've experienced more than I imagined."

Kang De lay on the ground, eyes closed. "Can I trust you?"

He suddenly realized that he had found an excellent person to confide in.

A Xing can be trusted, knows his secrets, and confides in him, but she is clueless and can only listen, not offer advice, and can only share his sadness or joy.

Horus could be trusted, and he knew Horus's secrets, but similarly, the Iron Son was born from his hands and grew up with him; his experience and wisdom were ultimately limited...

Besides, Tina and Xiaoman only knew some things, not all of them, because Kang De was afraid they would worry; he didn't want to bring trouble and anxiety to people who were powerless to help.

But if it's Parrot...

The previous Phoenix King, the ruler who ushered in the Golden Age of Twilight Moon, possessed ample power, wisdom, and vision, and was extremely experienced... Moreover, she also knew Kang De's greatest secret.

Malegith chuckled, "What are you talking about with an elf who knows exactly how often you masturbate, your preferred tastes, the location of your hidden folders, your favorite games, and the memes you use?"

She said smugly, "I know you even better than your parents do."

Yes, yes, at least my mom doesn't know where I usually save my educational materials.

What my dad didn't know was that when I was a child, I found a huge collection he had collected when he was young. It was all classic cars from the 1980s, a whole CD case.

Kang De let out a long breath and said, "I want to tell you about the Earth..."

"You've told me a hundred times already: there are no supernatural powers, no other intelligent races besides humans, and humanity has endured countless sufferings, deaths, destruction, and wars since primitive times, constantly discovering the secrets of nature and exploring the origins of the world, finally entering the relatively less chaotic modern era..."

The Parrot said, "I've basically learned a lot about this information and these things from the Civilization series, the Persist series, and the Age of Empires series. The wonder of creation is truly amazing."

Kang De hesitated for a moment, then said, "And..."

"And after you left the mainland, some things happened that made you realize you could go home."

The Phoenix King pulled out a bag of rice crackers from somewhere, tore it open, and started crunching away.

Kang De exclaimed in astonishment, "You..."

"Is it that hard to guess?" the Parrot said. "Otherwise, where did you get the F-35s you used to beat up the Elven air force? Where did your grenade launcher corps come from? Even if your neighborhood is by the sea, you wouldn't have these things stationed there, would you? And the Grewind Swarm is long gone. Where else would you go to farm this kind of dungeon when you're so eager to ask about the detailed strategy for this thing?"

She bent down and wiped her fingers, which were covered in rice crust seasoning, on Kang De's clothes.

Then she poked his head. "But what I'm more interested in is—damn, what's with this robot that looks exactly like Optimus Prime? It's Transformers, right? Isn't that in the movies? And what are you wearing that looks like Iron Man's suit?"

"Huh, does that mean you went to the Transformers universe and the Marvel Universe after you left here? Holy crap, is it the Multiverse Stream?" The Parrot became more and more terrified as it spoke, "Wait, damn it, could this world be..."

"What are you thinking?" Kang De said, both amused and exasperated. "Horus, that Transformers, was created by me using the power of the Fire Thief."

He was immediately taken aback. "Didn't the previous Fire Thief have this skill?"

"Tch, if she had that kind of ability, I would have had her summon Unicron long ago to wreak havoc on everything."

The Parrot asked, "What happened?"

Kang De answered honestly, basically it's about using the Element of the White Mist World Power of the Fire Thief to create an object, which is called Fantasy Grand Construction. The success rate is extremely low, but the effect is amazing when it succeeds.

Malegith was initially taken aback, then slapped Kang De's butt hard and exclaimed excitedly, "So you can use this method to get my wife out!?"

"Are you crazy? Which one is your wife?!"

"They're all underwater in the Marshall Islands!"

Kang De and the Parrot both noticed that when they talked, the topic would veer off course very quickly.

After all, they know each other inside and out, and can even keep up with each other's pace.

"I see..." the Parrot mused. "She doesn't actually possess that skill. She tried it before, but the situation you described didn't occur. The White Mist Element would have completely destroyed the original object, so she transformed it into an attack method... This is probably related to..."

"With what?"

"Nothing."

The Parrot shook its head and said, "Go on... what did you experience on Earth?"

Kang De thought for a moment and then recounted the entire story of Comora from beginning to end.

Let's start from the discovery that her father had been kidnapped... At that time, the elves launched their second attack, and Danfeng Lucerne was in imminent danger.

Then came the tense battle on two fronts.

The story continues until the final Grewynder Rebellion, which ended with the death of Big Bob.

This was the first time he had recounted everything completely and verbatim.

After she finished speaking, Malegith time.

Kang De waited a moment, then asked, "What are you thinking about?"

The Parrot chuckled and said, "I'm thinking about whether you should take me to Earth. We can find a way to control the heads of state of these countries, then secretly manipulate and unify the world. Using Earth's modern weapons in conjunction with the elves' war power, we can sweep across the globe and establish a superpower spanning both worlds. I'll be generous and make you my queen..."

"... Pooh."

Kang De felt somewhat relieved, but the threat remained, still a heavy burden.

He said, "Will Earth... suffer the same catastrophe as here? What is my mission? What will I face? The enemies are growing... The Veil and the Void Spirit recorded in the Crimson Scroll, the enemies from the sky that Dairila told me about, the Grewind Swarm, the enemies you have fought, and..."

The Phoenix King gently patted his back and said, "You are not yet qualified to know these answers. There are some things I cannot tell you, otherwise, something bad will happen immediately..."

"Kang De, instead of worrying, prepare early. There are more worthwhile and meaningful things to do than endlessly pursuing a terrifying and futile answer..."

"... For example?" Kang De smiled, "Accumulate strength and continue to grow stronger?"

Malegith said, "For example, marry Princess Tina as soon as possible, then kick Archduke Goth aside, help Tina ascend to the throne, secretly brainwash her, and seize control of Goth's real power."

"Then, with my help and cooperation, I'll take down Dairila, turning her into a mother figure who will die without you [beep--], and in turn, gain the power and authority of Twilight Moon."

"Using this momentum, declare war on the Empire. With the elven military force, your Forbidden Spell, and Earth's modern weaponry, sweep through the Empire like a whirlwind, kill the emperor, install the seemingly weakest and most easily controlled princess on the throne, secretly use your [beep--] to subdue her, kill all those who refuse to submit and harbor disloyalty, unify the human and elven worlds, command the continent, and become the supreme ruler of the Western world."

"Then, in your name, propose to Cathay that you marry the Queen of Cathay, with the entire Eastern world as your dowry, unifying the remaining forces of Cathay."

"During this period, repeat the same approach on Earth. Use your force, cunning, and [beep--] to gain power and influence there. After all, it should be a place where money can buy everything. In short, unite the forces of the two worlds, send troops to support the East, help Cathay defeat their external enemies, and further absorb the essence and power of Cathay."

"Thus, he has concentrated all the power in both material realms in his hands..."

Malegith said seriously, "You can combine these powerful forces to meet all the impending threats and disasters—isn't that much more meaningful than you leveling up and fighting monsters alone? Young man, you call yourself China, so why are you so fond of individual heroism?"

Isn't the power of the collective good?

"Isn't it great that you've united the world's strength through your personal efforts and hard work?"

Kang De replied indifferently, "I think you've been playing around with Rance too much."

"Bullshit," the Parrot said arrogantly. "Besides playing Rance, I also play Romance of the Three Kingdoms! This isn't Rance, it's Romance of the Three Kingdoms! Damn it, I'm still too soft-hearted. According to the script, you have to come at least three times before I show up."

She flicked Kang De's head and said, "And, with me, the wise king, as your Zhuge Liang..."

"You want to work overtime too, right?"

"Shut up!" Malegith snapped. "Zhuge Liang had his Longzhong Plan, and mine is just as good!"

"If Zhuge Liang dared to tell Brother Beibei that he could use his big [beep--] to subdue Wei and Wu and unify the world, he'd probably be killed on the spot," Kang De rolled his eyes. "Be serious."

"I'm serious. It's rare to find Fire Thief of this generation who's so popular, especially since he's a guy. It's just that his emotional intelligence is a bit low, he's not good with women, he's not sweet-talking, his social skills with women are extremely poor, and he often does confusing things and says things that are just asking for trouble... Oh well, it's just a small difficulty that can be overcome."

"After all, I'll be there to help..."

Malegith grinned wickedly, "Don't be shy, I'll advise you. It'll be fine. We'll practice on that simp dragon's daughter first. Isn't Dragon Island challenging you to a one-on-one duel? I have a plan..."
