A Mad Plan!!
Bai Zhi did not give a clear answer to Tian Huo's proposal. After staying in the Shadow World for a short while, they returned to the Real World together.
Talk is one thing, doing is another.
Their personalities and values were completely incompatible; they were not on the same path. Leaving aside whether the other person would be willing to give up their world and come to theirs, even if the other person did come, he wouldn't dare let them into his home.
After all, given her personality, who knows what she might do if she found out about Anna and Qingyi's existence...
Bai Zhi did indeed have some thoughts about the other party, but it was only limited to superficial cooperation... such as the issue of the revival and reconstruction of the Shadow World.
"The Domain of Delirium, Genesis, Puzzle Card... This seems interesting?"
Lying on the lounge chair on the balcony, enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze, Bai Zhi squinted slightly, and his initial thought began to change a little.
The bold get rich, the timid starve. If you're going to do something, do it on a big scale. Instead of trying to extract benefits from those places to scavenge people for the Shadow World... just devour the entire [Domain of Delirium]!!
The Shadow World is a world that is completely dead, devoid of any life, and shrouded in death. But the Domain of Delirium is different. As a product of the failed Genesis, it possesses what the Shadow World lacks.
--Life force, or rather, anger!!
Since the [Domain of Delirium] itself is a product of the failure of Genesis, if a way could be found to integrate that place into the [Shadow World], the two might produce an extremely subtle reaction, which could perhaps stimulate the revival of the [Shadow World].
Even if it fails, there's little loss, since the [Shadow World] itself is empty, filled only with endless yellow sand and desolate silence. But if it succeeds... the reward will be thousands upon thousands of times greater!!
"Ah, it feels like I'm aiming a bit too high..."
He pressed his forehead, barely managing to suppress the crazy thought in his mind for the time being. Bai Zhi sat up, picked up the Herbal Tea beside him, and took a sip.
This plan is indeed insane, especially considering he's only level 15 at the moment. To complete such a crazy plan is simply a pipe dream.
"I need enough help. Tian Huo's Master is one of them. If I can help her seize the position of the world's supreme leader, then the difficulty of this mission will be greatly reduced. However, how to contact her is also a problem..."
Sitting up straight, Bai Zhi quickly began to think, and once his train of thought was set in motion, he simply couldn't stop.
"The [Domain of Delirium] is clearly facing a major problem; if it gets out of control, their entire world will be destroyed. If I can help them solve this problem and merge the [Domain of Delirium] and the [Shadow World], it will be a win-win situation, and it will also open up a channel for communication between worlds... There are no enemies between worlds; we and the Book have only one enemy!!"
Bai Zhi pulled a Notebook out of his Inventory, picked up a pen, and began writing rapidly on it.
"All worlds are being invaded by Anomaly, yet they are wary of each other because there's no platform for trade between them. It's just a slow death. If I could transform [The Shadow World] into a platform for communication between worlds... tsk, thinking about those things is too far-fetched right now. I should focus on how to revive [The Shadow World] first. I'm falling into my old habits again."
Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhi put down his pen.
"However, this means I'll definitely have to go to the [Core Zone], but I know absolutely nothing about it. Just thinking about it makes me realize that it's the core gathering place for most of the world's Anomaly; who knows how distorted it has become... In the end, I still need a powerful helper, and I need to quickly improve my strength and Level."
Bai Zhi's gaze flickered slightly around it a few times.
"Tian Huo's Master is one; she's the strongest I've ever met, but her current situation is worrying, and I don't know her current condition. Fuzi is also an option, but unfortunately, I can't contact her at all... Is there anyone else who can join us?"
Walkthrough [Core Zone], control the [Domain of Delirium], merge the [Domain of Delirium] and the [Shadow World], stimulate the revival of the [Shadow World], and create a platform for communication between worlds...
Such a massive and incredibly audacious plan could absolutely not be completed by him alone, Bai Zhi was well aware of this.
Each step in this plan is increasingly difficult to complete, to the point of being almost impossible.
Even with the simplest Walkthrough, the [Core Zone] quest, Bai Zhi guarantees that at least half the players will die inside the [Core Zone]!!
... This is only his most optimistic estimate.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time, start from scratch. We can't expect to become fat in one bite, or reach the sky in one leap... We can find helpers slowly, but we need to speed up the intelligence gathering now."
Exhaling, Bai Zhi crushed the empty can of Herbal Tea in his hand into a ball and threw it into the Trash Can next to him.
The three— Dead Zero, Fuzi, and the purple-haired Young Girl —were lined up in order of strength. However, even setting aside the question of whether they could contact the other two, the three of them alone were far from enough. Bai Zhi needed more help.
"[Team Wipe Engine], [Lord of the Five Grains Cycle], [Marionette]... Perhaps we could consider collaborating with [Big Bird Spinning Bar]? After all, the people there are all talented..."
Bai Zhi tapped the table with his fingers, then fell into deep thought.
"Besides that, the [Night Watcher] organization is also a pretty good partner, but before we cooperate, I have to keep my identity a secret. The [Shadow World] is Qingyi's world, and I have to take the lead... As for the others, the [Relevant Department], and that Unlucky Shopkeeper in the [Noah's Ark] located in Binhai City?"
Bai Zhi is now racking his brains for his grand and crazy plan.
It's no exaggeration to say that if his plan actually succeeds in the end, it might really change the terrible situation where different worlds Trust each other and act independently.
There are no real enemies between worlds. Humanity has only one common enemy: the mysterious and unpredictable... Anomaly.
