Chu Xuan Reads the Script!

"What did you say!?"

At the Police Station, Zheng Zha was furious when he learned that he and his four companions were actually pawns that Chu Xuan had almost discarded. He grabbed Chu Xuan by the collar and punched him!

Chu Xuan staggered from the blow, and his glasses flew off.

Seeing that Chu Xuan remained silent, Zheng Zha angrily pointed at Zhang Jie, "He almost died! We all almost died!"

Ono Kei, who was squatting to the side, was also glaring at Chu Xuan. Because of Chu Xuan, her Kabutack Robot was left on the street just now. This meant that the experience of the previous "A Nightmare on A Nightmare on Elm Street" was like the sky falling down for Ono Kei!

Li Shuaixi, Hao Shuang, Fei Hao, Hu Yong from the newcomer group, and Zhan Lan, who was guarding the back of the Police Station, all looked at Chu Xuan with angry expressions!

Because they almost lost their lives in the North Ice Continent Team's sneak attack!

Six town police officers on duty on the first floor of the Police Station died. They were almost overrun by the North Ice Continent Team and made it to the second floor. At that point, facing such an unarmed group of Central Continent Team, the North Ice Continent druids and mages could have easily started racking up points.

Chu Xuan remained unfazed by his companion's anger. He picked up the gold-rimmed glasses that Zheng Zha had knocked away and explained expressionlessly, "To maximize profits, this is only the first step."

"What the hell is this first step?!" Zheng Zha was about to grab Chu Xuan by the collar again.

Lying on a makeshift "hospital bed" made from an office chair, Zhang Jie pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Let's hear what he has to say first."

"You still want to listen to him?" Zheng Zha clenched his fists. "If it weren't for Nova having the Three Pure Ones Talisman, you would be dead already!"

Nova's Three Pure Ones Talisman was given to her by Fang Yu after he finished farming points in Alien and lacked Side Quests to exchange for the Stitching skill. Nova generously gave him a C-rank Side Quest, Fang Yu exchanged it for her to repay her kindness.

The Three Pure Ones Talisman, worth 500 Reward Points, pulled Zhang Jie back from the brink of Ghost Gate, ensuring that the Central Continent Team has not suffered any casualties so far.

Zhan Lan pulled the furious Zheng Zha along, "Let's hear what Chu Xuan has to say first."

Zheng Zha suppressed his anger and sat down to the side, his fists still clenched tightly. It seemed that if he was not satisfied with the answer, he would give Chu Xuan two more punches to vent his anger.

Chu Xuan remained calm. "In this Points Match, there will be one winner, and there will only be one winner. That is the Central Continent Team."

Zheng Zha angrily retorted, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you've actually done!"

Chu Xuan wiped the dust off his glasses and continued calmly, "Have you ever played Beast Chess? It's actually an unfair Beast Chess."

"Elephant, tiger, bear, leopard, dog, cat."

"Yes, there are no rats. This is just to make it easier for you to understand."

"Aside from Fang Yu, who is a tiger, you veterans can basically be divided into leopards, wolves, and dogs."

Chu Xuan pointed to himself and four other newcomers from the same cohort, "They and I are all cats."

"The North Ice Continent Team, besides having a tiger, also has bears, leopards, and the lowest-ranking senior members are all wolves."

"But they also have nine new Reincarnator kittens."

"This is their burden!"

With a major battle imminent, they have no choice but to either bring along their burdens or send a wolf to guard their homeland and protect these kittens.

"Having talked about the North Ice Continent, next up is the East Blue Team!"

"The East Blue Team has a powerful member. According to the intelligence Fang Yu provided, he's at least a B+ level enhanced individual with a Third Order Genetic Lock. He's the only one like him in this team battle."

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses. "Elephant!"

Hearing this, the members of the Central Continent Team listened patiently, and even Zheng Zha gradually loosened his fists.

"With elephants, the East Blue Team can launch an attack on Central Continent and North Ice Continent, which have neither elephants nor Nezumi, under the protection of elephants. We are almost unable to resist, and all of us face the fate of being trampled to death by elephants."

"The variable lies in our cooperation with the North Ice Continent, and the fact that none of the East Blue Team have the guts to back up their words, thus suppressing the 'powerful' strategist within the team."

"With the loss of a bear in the East China Sea, the elephants were enraged and began chasing our strongest predator, the tiger, at this moment."

Chu Xuan looked at everyone and said, "The only thing our team of leopards, wolves, and dogs can do is go and cause trouble for the East Blue Team, which has lost its elephant team!"

"Unite the tigers of the North Ice Continent Team and devour the cats of the East Blue Team!"

Chu Xuan lit up his Reincarnation Watch, "Now, our team has four points!"

"The North Ice Continent Team has zero points. If they want to make up the four-point gap, think about it yourselves: will they look to the East Blue Team or to us?"

Having never experienced a life-or-death ordeal before, Li Shuaixi, as if looking for the camera, said, "Yeah, they're definitely targeting us little dogs and cats. With the strength of the five veterans from the East Blue Team, even excluding the elephants, they'd have a hard time taking them down."

Chu Xuan glanced at Li Shuaixi, mentally giving this newcomer who was adding drama a score, and then continued to explain, "This is the key tonight, and also the hope for you leopards and wolves to survive!"

"Our team's tigers are heading straight for their North Ice Continent home!"

"He held the lives of nine kittens from the North Ice Continent Team, and a guard wolf, in his hands."

"A full thirteen points! The North Ice Continent Team will never be able to get that back!"

A cold glint flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes. "Because the East Blue Team also needs to make up for lost points!"

Zheng Zha gradually calmed down.

He counted the number of people in the Central Continent Team. Apart from Fang Yu, who was a difficult tiger to kill, the rest of the team totaled eleven.

To avoid losing Reward Points and Side Quests, the North Ice Continent Team must capture the Central Continent Team's score.

However, the East Blue Team, which has "Elephant" (referring to a star player), certainly cannot stand idly by and watch themselves be penalized heavily after their return.

Whether it's the Wise Druid of the North Ice Continent Team or their captain Gunnar, anyone with a brain can come to the same conclusion.

They had to cover the Central Continent Team's escape; they couldn't let the Central Continent Team die at the hands of the East Blue Team. This was the condition for the survival of their team of nine kittens and one wolf.

If anyone's to blame, it's Chu Xuan for playing dirty tricks, sending Tiger to the North Ice Continent cat den to blackmail Gunnar and cover the Central Continent Group of Five's escape.

If the North Ice Continent does not agree to Chu Xuan's proposal, then Fang Yu, as the Central Continent Captain, can hold a huge thirteen-point lead and start flying around the town in circles.

Ultimately, the winner will be Central Continent.

Having figured everything out, the members of the Central Continent Team looked at Chu Xuan with completely different eyes!

Even Zhang Jie, who was nearly killed, had to admit that Chu Xuan's plan gave the Central Continent Team the biggest advantage.

In comparison, their near-eating by a tiger seems somewhat acceptable?

"Now," Chu Xuan put a piece of chocolate in his mouth, "Zhongzhou has the upper hand, leading by four points. No matter what happens next, we're the ones with the advantage!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha slammed his fist into the desk, glaring at Chu Xuan: "Have you considered that now that we've assembled at the police station, the East Blue Team could easily march on us, wipe us out, and get eleven points? You yourself will become points too! Have you thought about that?! You'll die too!"

Chu Xuan, unfazed by Zheng Zha's roar, simply asked, "Die?"

He chewed on chocolate and hummed indifferently, "Oh."
