Closing the Loop? I'm the One Who Tears Loops Apart!

What was the original intention?

For Su Mo, the tone of this sea voyage was set even before it began.

First: Pick up my younger sister.

Second: Gather a group of capable researchers or people with special talents and take them to the New Continent to develop basic science and technology.

Third: Find Ocean God and defused this Timed Bomb in the wasteland.

Besides these three items, whether it's annihilating 20,000 alien races or entering the Title Ruins to research the basic Technology Tree, there are other options.

These actions were not the original intention.

It was a sudden event!

Following this line of reasoning, even without obtaining the alien races' plans, we can still determine their true purpose!

For ordinary non-human races, their initial intentions were very simple.

From the moment they entered the wasteland, they had only one goal: to slowly expand their search according to the clan's requirements, and find the Godhood Item to take back with them.

According to Connie's previous description, the ordinary alien races that entered the wasteland were just the ones with the lowest potential and the weakest strength in their clans.

To put it bluntly, these people are more like there to make up the numbers.

Expecting these people to go to the dangerous wasteland to find valuable access is basically like someone with millions in their bank account passing by a lottery shop and spending a few dollars on a lottery ticket, hoping to make a fortune.

It's basically a gamble. To put it bluntly, these people don't care whether the activity is a scam or whether they'll lose their money.

So, what about the Five Great Royal Clans?

What were their original intentions? After writing this line in his notebook, Su Mo's chaotic thoughts suddenly cleared up, and the ideas that had arisen from his previous mental lapses quickly disappeared.

Instead, the truth is almost within reach!

"For the royal family, they have to send out a lot of highly promising elites each time. If we target them with high-level authority, given their strength, it's basically the same as sending ordinary alien races—a waste of time, relying solely on luck."

"But ordinary alien races only lose some insignificant people, while the royal family loses people who affect the strength of their clan. In the long run, it will definitely be a case of one side gaining and the other losing."

"So, the royal family's original intention wasn't about authority at all?"

The scratching sound of a ballpoint pen on white paper is almost inaudible under the crashing waves.

But as he looked at the increasing number of words appearing on the paper, Su Mo was suddenly struck by a thunderbolt, realizing what had happened.

If we compare the clans behind all the alien races to individual investors, and the numerous but weak humans to the stock market, then we can understand this analogy.

So, these creatures that came to the wasteland became their bargaining chips.

For ordinary alien races, they had already invested very little of these chips, and with stop-loss measures in place, even if they lost everything, it wouldn't cause any serious damage.

However, for large investors like the Royal Family, losing these shares, or failing to generate enough "money" from them in the market, would be a huge loss.

This time, judging from the wasteland human form, just three disasters were enough to give all of humanity abundant and extravagant resources, and also gave them a monstrous "Su God" who was capable of killing gods.

For these investors, this situation is equivalent to the "market" continuously declining, resulting in less and less profit for them while the risks increase.

Therefore, it's just like investing in stocks.

In the event of a market downturn, or even a complete collapse, small individual investors can simply sell without thinking and wait for the next opportunity.

Large institutional investors, on the other hand, need to consider how to recover some of their investment before the market crashes, so as not to lose everything and become just another retail investor.

So, where exactly did the market begin to show signs of a sell-off? On paper, Su Mo once again wrote down a point in time after the Welfare Disaster!

In this Welfare Disaster, humanity survived almost everyone by relying on the market and distributing high-quality seeds, and their strength increased rapidly.

With ample food and drink, humanity has more time to adapt to and explore the wasteland, and powerful shelters will grow even stronger! Humanity can finally free up its resources to properly test its strength against these alien races whose power is yet to be fully developed! From this moment on, while ordinary investors may not yet have realized what's happening, the clans behind the Five Great Royal Clans have keenly sensed the changing market dynamics and are preparing to flee!

As is well known, before a major player runs away with their money, they will find retail investors to take over their positions, thus making retail investors bear the risk.

So, by sheer coincidence, after the Ocean Disaster struck, a plan to escape, devised by the Five Great Royal Clans, finally appeared on the wasteland!

And this plan is none other than the Ocean Hunting Plan!

Having figured this out, Su Mo's previous question became clear:

Why weren't the royal families afraid of their plan being exposed? Why weren't they afraid of the Ocean Alien Race finding out, or even of humanity? The answer is now clear! "It turns out, the Five Great Royal Clans ' target has always been humanity!"

"In fact, these Ocean Alien Race are currently targeting humans!"

"After all, whether it's a big player or a retail investor, what fool would turn down money!"

Looking at the logically sound and thoroughly clear conclusion on the paper, Su Mo slammed his hand on the table and stood up in delight.

Things that couldn't be explained before, things that couldn't be understood before, and things that had problems before—at this moment, a huge chain finally connected these "unknowns".

Compared to the plan to Hunt Su Old Devil by Human Traitor with the wasteland royal family, this Ocean Hunting Plan can be said to have truly achieved a certain degree of "closed loop".

This closed loop is so perfect that even those who know about it would have to jump in shirtless!

"When I first learned about this plan, due to the bug that the alien race couldn't gather humans or continuously obtain human coordinates, I made a mistake in my initial judgment, mistakenly believing that their target wasn't humans at all."

"Connie's subsequent explanation that humans were not the alien race's target at all, coupled with Clark's incredibly lifelike acting skills, further reinforced my mistaken judgment."

It seemed like a self-reflection, or perhaps a continuous refinement of this thought process.

Standing in Work Table, Su Mo's gaze lost focus, but the images of consciousness constructed by his brain kept flashing before his eyes.

"In the first phase, the royal family will require all ordinary alien races to escort humanity and ensure that all humans successfully set sail. This move is to ensure that the overall market does not fluctuate, since if retail investors make money, it means that humanity will suffer huge losses!"

"And the subsequent tsunami disaster, whose cause is unknown, was probably also their doing!"

"They exploited the information gap and used the intelligence they had gathered during their previous exploration of the wasteland to forcibly create the tsunami disaster, forcing humanity to gather on their own and expose their locations in the world chat, thus directly and forcibly compensating for the bug that prevented humanity from gathering!"

"In the Second Stage, after humanity had rallied to resist the tsunami disaster, and the ships were damaged and moving slowly, the Ocean Alien Race prepared to go ashore and devour the humans. The Five Great Royal Clans ordered all ordinary Land Alien Race to hold back the attacking Ocean Alien Race, while they summoned their ancestral gods to descend and severely damage the Ocean Alien Race below. As for the humans, they were left for these ordinary monsters to enjoy."

"In the first phase, they emphasized humanity, and in the second phase, they also emphasized humanity. Moreover, they stressed that these ordinary alien races should not harm humans, and that if they were to fight, they should target the Ocean Alien Race! I never thought of this before!"

"As for the third phase, Clark kept it a secret. At the time, I was guessing they were going to attack Ocean God, but now it seems they were indeed greedy!"

Having figured out all the points, even Su Mo himself couldn't help but exclaim "Brilliant!" twice at the plan devised by these old guys behind the Five Great Royal Clans.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, implementing this plan would be like pulling off a massive, all-inclusive profit.

Moreover, with the enemy eliminated, the royals remaining in the wasteland can now better search for authority, achieving two goals at once! As for the Ocean Alien Race in this process, just as previously speculated, they played the role of "idiots," being manipulated at will.

However, this cannot be blamed on them, since they were forced to descend into the world and only had a maximum of seven days left.

Within seven days, due to the requirements of the Ocean Hunting Plan, ordinary alien races would naturally regard them as enemies and would not be able to reveal much valuable information.

Humanity, due to the impending catastrophe, has temporarily become a united front, with no one willing to ally with the wolfish Ocean Alien Race.

With both sources of information cut off, facing this situation with past experiences in the wasteland is tantamount to being sold out and still helping the seller count the money! "So what I need to do now is to force the ordinary alien races involved in this plan to attack humanity before 8 PM on the seventh day, thereby triggering Three Races War and ending the terrifying tsunami of the final day."

"At that time, even if the Five Great Royal Clans want to wait until the tsunami is over to fight, they won't be able to. After all, if they delay their actions, it means that all the profits will be eaten up by the retail investors!"

"And to make ordinary alien races fight each other, isn't that as easy as having hands!"

The thought that at the crucial moment, the Golden Haired Lion King in the eyes of the Land Alien Race would suddenly turn into the human Su Old Devil left everyone speechless and their mentality in turmoil.

Standing in the Captain's Cabin, Su Mo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The laughter was unrestrained and exuberant, filled with boundless pride.

Even the sound of the tsunami crashing outside couldn't drown out this feeling of ease and joy emanating from within.

Before Su Mo's laughter subsided, Gonggong, who had given the instructions, promptly announced, "[Captain Su Mo, a large number of biological reactions have been detected at an angle of 67 degrees north, 197 kilometers away. The system is currently performing matching analysis and calculations based on the collected biological model database. Please wait.]"

[Calculation successful: 17% probability of battle Land Alien Race and humans, 64% probability of battle Land Alien Race and Ocean Alien Race, and 19% probability of a three-way battle.]

Have you planned your route in advance to avoid this point?

"Huh? They detected biological combat so quickly?"

"Don't avoid me! Head to this battlefield at full speed and stop 30 kilometers outside of it!"

"Moore, get to your positions in the Cannon Room. From this moment on, I will make all alien races feel the pain inflicted by the Hope!"

He abandoned his previous "good habit" of being overly cautious, afraid of exposing himself and causing unforeseen changes.

Staring at the vast ocean outside, Su Mo's gentle and refined demeanor gradually faded, replaced by the "iron-blooded aura" of leading millions of creatures in battle within the Group Ruins and single-handedly initiating the Industrial Revolution! Under this aura, Su Mo's eyes seemed to pierce through the ocean and through the spatial barrier of the wasteland, seeing the "old schemer" standing behind the five royal families.

They were laughing, laughing at their own perfect plan, laughing at their own shrewdness, and how they were sure to make a profit!

But what they didn't know was that on the ocean of the wasteland, someone had already set their sights on their heads! "What kind of bullshit closed loop is this? I love dismantling loops the most!"

"What kind of bullshit gods are you! I'll beat up the gods!"
