Moved? (Seven-Thousand-Word Mega Chapter)
OK!
If it weren't for his current inappropriate status, he would really want to applaud Sha Feng.
As expected of Nine Star Dou Zong from the Soul Hall.
He's so arrogant! If Sha Feng's work ability is truly outstanding, Yang Shan might even consider going to the extra trouble to recruit him.
The main problem is that Sha Feng's strength and status are far superior to Protector Wu's, making him a bit difficult to deal with.
But there's no rush. You can't judge someone's competence just by doing it once or twice.
Let's see how well Sha Feng "acts" this time! Xiao Aotian is still true to his nature. Seeing a group of people flying in from a distance, he immediately uttered a classic Chinese curse, "Damn it!"
The people from the Ghost Wither Branch Hall and the Lion Underworld Sect stopped thirty feet away from Medusa Queen.
One Nine Star Dou Zong, three Eight-Star Dou Zong, and three Seven-Star Dou Zong.
There were two in the early stage of the Dou Zong Dou Zong and six in the middle stage.
Yang Shan: "Brother Xiao, what do you think of this situation on the other side, Brother Xiao?"
Xiao Aotian lowered his head and shouted:
"Hello! Is this Tianyao customer service? Yes, yes, this is Xiao Aotian. I'd like to ask if there's a bug in your R&D department's database?"
"No? Here, let me take a screenshot for you. Look at these NPCs attacking the Serpent-People tribe. There are more late-stage Dou Zong than mid-stage, and more mid-stage than early-stage. The stronger the person, the more people there are? Does that make sense?"
"What the hell? Reasonable? Say it again!"
The female customer service representative from Tianyao spoke to Xiao Aotian in a sweet, high-pitched voice. "Dear Xiao Aotian, your name appeared in our version preview for this version. Therefore, after you triggered the relevant storyline, our operations department has had dedicated personnel monitoring you. Of course, rest assured, we are monitoring the game's operational data, and absolutely not your personal game data."
"But all the data for the storyline you're currently experiencing is normal!"
Xiao Aotian: "Okay, thank you!"
After Xiao Aotian disconnected the communication, he said to Yang Shan with a wry smile, "Damn it, Tian Yao Company confirmed that this situation is normal. Normal my ass!"
Yang Shan calmly replied:
"Of course it's normal."
He personally orchestrated today's plot; it would be truly bizarre if it weren't normal! Regardless of the "Cybersecurity and Privacy Regulation" or Tianyao's consistent operation and good reputation in the game, Yang Shan was certain that Tian Yao Company's macro-control would absolutely not involve players' personal data and gaming experiences.
Therefore, even if there are more high-end combatants than low-end combatants, it will definitely be "normal" in the Tian Yao Company's backend and in the information displayed by AI Nüwa!
This is similar to playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game). While four twos with the two Jokers is not a combination that most people can pull off, it is still within the rules of Dou Dizhu!
That's perfectly normal!
Because it was normal, Xiao Aotian could only curse, "It's over, now we've really become great people who benefit all the players on the server!"
Xiao Aotian actually possessed a special jade Jade Pendant given to him by Heavenly Flame Venerable.
If it is destroyed, Xiao Aotian can open a temporary Space Channel and let Heavenly Flame Venerable come here to help him.
The price is that it will deduct 10 points of favorability from Heavenly Flame Venerable.
Moreover, Heavenly Flame Venerable's body is now completely destroyed, and his soul is hidden in a puppet at the level of a Nine Star Dou Zong.
(In the original novel, after Heavenly Flame Venerable devoured two Five Star Dou Zong level Ferocious Soul from the Soul Hall, his soul combat power was roughly at the Seven-Star Dou Zong. However, in the original novel, whether considering his strength in life or the innate advantages of Alchemist, Yao Lao's Soul Strength should have been much stronger than Heavenly Flame Venerable's. In the game, because the game strictly follows soul level for judgment, the combat power of the soul itself is significantly weakened compared to the original novel. Soul Strength needs to be combined with more methods to unleash its special power, so the game changed Heavenly Flame Venerable's background setting to be hidden inside a puppet.) Puppets are basically only good for bullying weaker opponents; their combat power is much lower than that of cultivators or magical beasts of the same level.
Even if Heavenly Flame Venerable were to arrive, given his current condition, he probably wouldn't be able to turn the tide.
Xiao Aotian was at a loss, Medusa Queen felt even more heartbroken.
She knew that the Serpent-People tribe were no match for the Lion Underworld Sect, so she fought with her life on the line, completed her transformation, and became the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
Although her cultivation level only increased by one star, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, as Ancient Beast, was far more terrifying in combat than the King of Beasts. Even if she faced Shi Shan, Medusa Queen was still confident that she could protect the Serpent-People tribe.
But now, Shi Tian is just a supporting character! Behind them, the Four Great Elders of the Serpent-People tribe flew over.
However, they still used their Dou Qi Transformation Wings to fly, so they had no impact on the battle situation.
Medusa Queen was furious and exclaimed, "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
The four Nine Star Dou Huang elders did not retreat.
"Queen, take as many as you can. I am nearing my end. A few years earlier or later, it doesn't matter. We are willing to die for the continuation of the Serpent-People tribe!"
Sha Feng sneered:
"Going to die? That's just courting death!"
This time, Sha Feng is ready to put on a good show.
Since "Cheng E" said that he wanted to make the Serpent-People tribe despair, but not to actually cause Serpent-People tribe any major losses, he had to find the right balance.
Sha Feng raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.
"Wind Profound Palm Print!"
A powerful Palm Force, ten feet long, swept past.
The Dou Qi Armor on the four Serpent-People tribe elders completely collapsed, and they all coughed up blood.
Sha Feng withdrew his hand. "A bunch of ants, you don't even deserve to die by my hand! Protector Wu, you come here!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Protector Wu burst forth from behind:
"I've heard that the Serpent-People tribe have always had a companion Snake Spirit. This soul must be incredibly nourishing. Let this protector see just how nourishing it is, hehehehe."
"Stop!"
Medusa Queen could not bear to watch the four elders die. She was about to make her move when Xiao Aotian, who was already prepared, activated the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" technique and took the initiative.
"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
"Earth-rank Dou Technique?"
Even Protector Wu never imagined that a Three Star Dou Huang could unleash such a powerful Dou Technique.
He immediately used Dark Soul Mist to block the Flaming Ruler Qi unleashed by Xiao Aotian.
But to Protector Wu's surprise, the flames of that Ruler Qi seemed to be extraordinary, and had a strong restraining effect on his Dark Soul Mist!
"Heavenly Flames?"
Protector Wu snorted coldly, activated his Dou Qi, and, in conjunction with the Dark Soul Mist, finally dispelled the Ruler Qi.
Protector Wu is indeed quite capable.
Although Xiao Aotian is currently recognized as the second best player in the entire server, he has yet to achieve a record of defeating Dou Zong or Seventh Order King of Beasts in a one-on-one fight.
There is still a significant difference between it and the Four Star Dou Zong with the "purple; rise" seal.
"Court death!"
Protector Wu Protector Wu n't want to lose face in front of so many colleagues. He was worried that if he couldn't defeat this Three Star Dou Huang, the matter would reach his master's ears and he would be scolded! But just then, Medusa Queen shone with seven-colored light, transforming into a ten-zhang-long Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Seven-Colored Dou Qi in her mouth, and she spat out a Demon Spirit Cannon.
Compared to Xiao Aotian, Medusa Queen's combat power is many times stronger.
In the original novel, when Medusa Queen was Two-Star Dou Zong, she could fight Protector Wu to a standstill.
However, in the game, the current Protector Wu is no match for Medusa Queen.
Unless he uses the unique secret technique from the original work, devouring souls and sacrificing himself to forcibly increase his strength.
When the seven-colored Demon Spirit Cannon came, even the hairs on the Protector Wu bent in fright.
"What is that?"
At the critical moment, Sha Feng appeared beside Protector Wu.
With a wave of his hand, a dense, net-like gust of wind shredded the Seven-Colored Demon Spirit Cannon.
Although surprised, Sha Feng still maintained the arrogance of Nine Star Dou Zong: "I never thought I would actually see the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python that had disappeared without a trace today! Heh, the Serpent-People tribe, interesting!"
"If you had the cultivation of a mid-stage Dou Zong, this protector might be sweating bullets. Unfortunately, you only have the cultivation of Two-Star Dou Zong. Moreover..."
Sha Feng clapped his hands.
All the guardians of the Ghost Wither Branch Hall flew behind the Sha Feng.
Sha Feng smile:
"This protector only cares about the result! Everyone, join me in this attack! Within one minute, I will turn this Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python into a dead snake!"
Medusa Queen's eerie snake eyes flashed with determination.
She must have communicated something telepathically with the four elders.
Two of the four elders were old women, and they couldn't stop crying.
But they didn't stay there; instead, they left as quickly as possible.
Medusa Queen looked at Sha Feng and slowly said, "If you want the Spirit Stone Mine, our Serpent-People tribe will give it to you. Please show mercy."
Medusa Queen was proud.
If she were all alone, she would probably choose to fight to the death.
But for the sake of the Serpent-People tribe, she had no choice but to compromise.
But Medusa's pleas for mercy only earned her a mocking laugh from the Sha Feng: "Have you forgotten what I, the Protector, said before?"
Medusa Queen took a deep breath and said coldly:
"Since that's the case, I'd also like to see how many of you I can bite to death before I die!"
The four elders will lead the best members of their tribe to evacuate the Tagor Desert.
She had already decided to risk her life to buy a moment more for the continuation of the Serpent-People tribe.
The Sha Feng completely disregarded Medusa's resoluteness and ruthlessness. "Today, not even a single snake egg of the Tagor Serpent-People tribe will be left! I said it! All of you, charge! This protector wants blood to flow like a river here!"
The Sha Feng" isn't just about shouting.
He's genuinely willing to help when needed, and he takes his roles seriously when it comes to acting.
Nine Star Dou Zong is incredibly powerful! To be honest.
Even in Central Plains, Nine Star Dou Zong is no ordinary person! Although in the original work, due to the inflation of combat power, after the protagonist arrived in Central Plains, ordinary Dou Zong were not worthy of having names, and in the later stages, it was as if a Dou Zong's combat power was weak if he could not kill a group of Dou Zong with one slap.
However, if we really judge based on the background setting, even someone as strong as Fei Tian, the leader of the Northern Branch of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, one of the Four Directions Pavilion, is only Eight-Star Dou Zong!
Only a top-tier power like the Soul Hall, with its terrifyingly large background and unbelievably deep foundation, could treat Nine Star Dou Zong as a "laborer."
However, in the Northwest Continent, a region lacking spiritual energy, even people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would have to bow respectfully to Sha Feng!
The Sha Feng was constantly raising its power to the highest level.
Especially since he was Wind Attribute cultivator, under his control, this power almost enveloped the entire Serpent-People tribe.
Players who had been handing in quests within the Serpent-People tribe Serpent-People tribe, or who had even rented accommodations there, were dumbfounded.
Although the biggest stage in this version is the Black-Corner Region, there are still many players who are developing at a slower pace, mingling in the Four Great Empires and the Serpent-People tribe.
However, there are very few players at the Dou Wang level.
The Serpent-People Temple is a forbidden area, and ordinary players are not allowed to go there.
Therefore, very few players were aware of what was happening at the Serpent-People Temple.
However, the sheer power of the Sha Feng caused system notifications to players who were generally only at the Dou Ling level! Due to the influence of the power, their Dou Qi circulation speed slowed down, and any Dou Technique they used would consume an additional 20% of their Dou Qi! With his own power, he caused tens of thousands of players within the Serpent-People tribe's territory to be afflicted with negative status effects.
This is what Nine Star Dou Zong, who is only one step away from becoming Dou Zun, is capable of doing!
Medusa Queen surged with Seven-Colored Dou Qi, but in the blink of an eye, Sha Feng and the three Eight-Star Dou Zong surrounded Medusa Queen in a square formation.
The four Heaven Grade Protector attacked together.
And they all used Earth-rank Dou Technique!
Medusa Queen's protective shield shattered in just two seconds.
The Seven-Colored Snake Scale, still scalding hot blood, were scattered all over the ground.
The ten-foot-long snake's body smashed into the sand, creating a crater.
Medusa Queen, who is always calm and domineering in front of others, now has eyes that look just like a little girl who has been separated from her mother.
Confusion, despair! This is a battle that cannot be won! Xiao Aotian's eyes turned red:
"Fuck you! Medusa can't really be here, can she? What the hell are those planners at Tian Yao Company up to?"
Xiao Aotian was extremely anxious. He wanted to save Medusa, but Protector Wu stood in his way.
Although Protector Wu's movement technique is not as strong as "Three Thousand Thunder Movement".
However, Protector Wu's stats are much stronger than Xiao Aotian's.
Therefore, it was difficult for Xiao Aotian to get rid of Protector Wu's entanglement.
Medusa Queen was about to be killed by the four Heaven Grade Protector.
Yang Shan finally stepped forward.
There's nothing we can do about that.
Yang Shan has put in so much effort to create the current situation.
How can we make Medusa Queen remember this enormous favor if we don't make her suffer a little? With a shout of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement," Yang Shan instantly appeared in front of Medusa: "Wait!"
Sha Feng had already learned of Yang Shan's identity from Protector Wu's telepathic message, since Protector Wu had fought against Yang Shan before.
Seeing Yang Shan take action, Sha Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He's almost reached the limit of his pretentiousness.
If Yang Shan doesn't make a move, he doesn't know how this situation will be salvaged.
You can't keep pretending to be cool without actually killing anyone; that would easily give you away.
A solo performance is difficult; it's much easier when you have a partner.
The Sha Feng, including the three Heaven Grade Protector present, all tacitly stopped fighting.
Medusa Queen was severely injured; her voice was noticeably weak.
"Little Friend Yang Shan, I appreciate your kindness, but I owe you a favor. Alas, I am truly sorry!"
Yang Shan said irritably:
"That won't do. I never make a losing investment. If you're going to die, you have to pay back the favor before you die!"
Medusa Queen: "Little Friend Yang Shan, you..."
Yang Shan said seriously, "You owe me a huge favor this time. I have to use my biggest trump card to save my life on you!"
"So, are you moved?"
Sha Feng gave Yang Shan a chance to communicate with Medusa. Seeing that the time was almost right, Sha Feng smiled with a hint of amusement, "Boy, this protector is very curious. You are an Eight Star Dou Huang. Who gave you the courage to come and stop us?"
Yang Shan looked up, staring directly at the Sha Feng. With a flick of his right hand, the Ghoul Lord Token landed in his palm. "I originally intended to wander the Northwest Continent as an ordinary person, but fine, I'll lay my cards on the table! My master Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord!"
Sha Feng feigned a deep frown and a solemn expression. He prepared to put his hands behind his back to "negotiate" with Yang Shan: "Boy, I've seen plenty of people who try to intimidate me with empty promises. You think you can intimidate me with just a few words? I'll take your life right now!"
Yang Shan tossed the Ghoul Lord Token in his hand, seemingly completely unconcerned about the threat from the Sha Feng:
"Hmph! Do I need to use someone else's name? You're from the Soul Hall, aren't you? Other forces in the Northwest Continent might not know what a spatial token is, but you certainly do!"
"I only need to break the token in my hand in half, and my master can come through the Space Channel within five minutes."
At this point, Yang Shan raised his voice slightly. "I'm putting my words here right now, the Serpent-People tribe are mine today!"
Yang Shan gripped the Ghoul Lord Token tightly and smiled disdainfully, "Do you dare to touch it?"
Behind her, Medusa Queen, whose injuries were too severe to maintain her serpentine form, transformed back into human form.
She lay on the ground, watching the figure draped in a bright red cloak from behind.
She remembered that Yang Shan had said something similar to her just now.
Are you moved? Dare to move? The two sentences are pronounced exactly the same, but the tone is completely different.
Medusa's heart, which had been filled with death, seemed to beat again.
Medusa was indeed moved.
Sha Feng is truly afraid to move now! This news, that he is a direct disciple of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, comes from "Cheng E".
Sha Feng certainly couldn't believe that "Cheng E" would deliberately tell them false information.
With his identity already confirmed, Yang Shan produced a mysterious token, saying that if he could break it, the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord would Zao Nian appear. Sha Feng had also heard about the deeds of the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord when he was wandering around Central Plains before he was assigned to the Northwest Continent.
A great figure who was famous Central Plains a thousand years ago!
He then disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of him in Central Plains.
According to Yang Shan's words, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is still alive! What level must he have reached?
If Yang Shan were to lose his temper and actually summon the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, Sha Feng would be in a panic! He quickly sent a telepathic message to a Earth Grade Protector behind him.
The Earth Grade Protector immediately rushed forward and shouted, "What Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord? Never even heard of him! You think you can scare us with just a token? Even if that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord really came, he wouldn't dare mess with my Soul Hall, you brat!"
"Shut up!"
With a roar from the ground, the spittle of the Sha Feng slammed into the face of the Earth Grade Protector: "You're ignorant, fine, but don't drag us down with you to our deaths!"
Yang Shan really wanted to applaud Sha Feng.
He acted really well.
Moreover, he was the most skilled and influential person present, and theoretically, he could also be the person with the most "knowledge" in the entire room.
Therefore, it was most appropriate for him to "explain the science"! The Earth Grade Protector who was cooperating with the Sha Feng's act appeared extremely terrified:
"Guardian, this kid is most likely faking it!"
"If you don't know, shut up! Do you think I don't know the fluctuations of the spatial token? That thing that kid has can't be made by anyone who isn't at the Dou Zun Peak! You tell me you're faking it? You show me how you fake it!"
Sha Feng really went to great lengths to make his performance as a actor.
He even secretly used a bit of Wind Attribute sonic technique to make his roar travel further.
Xiao Aotian was stunned when he heard this.
What? Dou Zun Peak?
Yang Shan actually became a master and apprentice with an NPC of this level! Xiao Aotian couldn't help but think of the opportunity he triggered at the Heavenly Flame Training Tower.
They are all Dou Zun, and they have all been given corresponding spatial items to request assistance.
But Heavenly Flame Venerable was only Five Star Dou Zun, and that was "before".
Their current combat strength is not enough to dominate the Black-Corner Region! Unlike Yang Shan's master, whose mere reputation could frighten even Nine Star Dou Zong from the Soul Hall into speaking with a broken voice.
Xiao Aotian looked at Medusa, who was being shielded by Yang Shan.
Medusa probably only has Yang Shan in her eyes now.
Xiao Aotian wanted to cry but had no tears.
There's really nothing that can compare! When Yang Shan made his move, Protector Wu stopped entangled with Xiao Aotian.
After all, he came here to complete a mission.
Because of Yang Shan, he received a full 150,000 Contribution Points. If he performs too well, it may arouse jealousy from others.
Especially Sha Feng! Because Sha Feng has quite a few interactions with "Cheng E" in the Ghost Wither Branch Hall.
"Cheng E" also seems to imply a desire to attract Sha Feng.
Moreover, after witnessing the spectacular performance of the Sha Feng today, the Protector Wu goose is now feeling an overwhelming sense of crisis!
In the Dou Qi Continent, the most important way to evaluate a person's ability is by their strength.
However, if one's strength is not sufficient to "do whatever one wants," then other factors must be considered.
Cunning, competence, insight, and overall perspective.
Today, Sha Feng has demonstrated his competence as a veteran Heaven Grade Protector of the Ghost Wither Branch Hall.
He had performed the role that "Cheng E" had given him well enough.
He even directed other Dharma protectors to cooperate with him, making the entire process seem logical and natural.
"Fortunately, Mister E didn't come in person, otherwise, Mister E would have seen Sha Feng's performance."
After deciding to return to the Ghost Wither Branch Hall, Protector Wu must do everything in his power to improve his abilities in every aspect.
Otherwise, if one day in the future Sha Feng also becomes Cheng E's subordinate, he will have no right to compete with Sha Feng for favor!
Just as Protector Wu was determined to engage in a power struggle, Sha Feng was already preparing for the grand finale of this drama.
As the Sha Feng landed on the ground, Yang Shan had already grabbed the Ghoul Lord Token with both hands, as if to break it.
"No! Your Excellency! I'm not going to attack!"
My lips were dry from the Sha Feng.
He was genuinely afraid that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord would travel through space and come directly there.
His Nine Star Dou Zong was nothing more than a piece of trash who could be slapped to death by Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, who was very likely no longer Dou Zun!
He's here to act, not to risk his life! Sha Feng flicked his sleeves and took out a crystal as dazzling as a diamond from his Storage Ring:
"I never expected you to be a disciple of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord. I have offended you greatly in the past. Consider this sixth-grade Essence Spirit Crystal an apology. We will depart now! From now on, the Lion Underworld Sect will never set foot in the Tagor Desert again!"
Fearing he might provoke Yang Shan, Sha Feng placed the Essence Spirit Crystal on the ground, took a few steps back, and without waiting for Yang Shan's reply, flew back into the sky, simply saying, "Retreat!"
Medusa was still somewhat dazed as she watched the group of Sha Feng leave.
A group of Dou Zong Masters of the Dou Zong Sect) arrived in a grand and imposing manner, but left looking disheveled and dejected!
The annihilation of the Serpent-People tribe was a battle that was impossible to win, yet Yang Shan resolved it with just a few words! With a flick of his finger, Yang Shan enveloped the Essence Spirit Crystal with a cluster of Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and brought it back to his palm.
This Sha Feng is really generous! Sixth-tier Essence Spirit Crystal are certainly not a huge loss for Nine Star Dou Zong.
However, in the current version, Essence Spirit Crystal are already considered "top-tier drops"!
Under normal circumstances, Yang Shan would never have used the Ghoul Lord Token to intimidate others.
This thing is completely useless; taking it out is just "gambling on mentality."
But this time, Sha Feng and the others all know that he is "the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord", so it has nothing to do with gambling mentality.
A group of Dou Zong, how could they possibly offend Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord? After sending Sha Feng Medusa away, Yang Shan still had to give Medusa a few instructions.
Yang Shan turned around and helped Medusa, who was still lying on the ground, up.
Xiao Aotian simply didn't land on the ground.
He really didn't want to see this happen.
It was fine before.
Now he is witnessing Yang Shan "conquering" Medusa, but he is powerless to do anything about it.
It's better not to fall to the ground, lest the tears hidden in the corners of his eyes be discovered.
Ouch! It hurts so much! "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. That token was given to me by Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord as a life-saving item. Once I use it, my training in the Northwest Continent will end."
"To be honest, I am only a nominal disciple of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord right now. If I don't complete the assessment goals he set for me, I won't be able to become his personal disciple. So, I hesitated for a moment, otherwise you wouldn't be so seriously injured."
Medusa Queen laughed, "Why apologize to me? I should thank you for saving my people once again. This token is far more important to you than to my people. Even if you hesitated, I would still think it was perfectly reasonable for you not to take it out."
Medusa Queen sighed, "I never expected that Little Friend Yang Shan would be such a righteous person!"
[Ding! Congratulations, player! You single-handedly scared away more than ten Dou Zong. You are a great benefactor who saved the Serpent-People tribe. Medusa admires your righteousness and also respects your status. Medusa's favorability +10! Current favorability: 38!]
Increase your favorability by 10 points in one go!
Moreover, the other party is the Great Female Lead of the original work and one of the most difficult NPCs to win over in the entire game.
This is a huge windfall!
But Yang Shan only had a slight smile on his face.
The smile carried a hint of schadenfreude.
"What loyalty? I just don't want to do a losing business. Your Majesty, I've resolved this matter. You don't think you can get rid of me with just a Thunder Spirit Crystal, do you?"
Medusa Queen's face froze on the spot.
Just then, Xiao Aotian, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, sent a message: "One-Blade Bro! Mycelium Bro! Sentimental Bro! Anyway, you're the brother, I beg you, please tell me how much favorability you gained this time, okay? I won't compete with you for Medusa anymore, I just beg you to tell me so I can give up, okay?"
