"It's that person from the project!!"
Someone finally realized that the person was the so-called most promising individual from that critical project announced by the Central Federation some time ago.
When Wu Xiaoli, a woman from Central China, was demonstrating the project, the focus was on Jiang Xiaoling, one of their infiltrators, while the main character, the young man Chen Qing, only appeared briefly in one shot.
Just now, everyone was shocked by the white-clad man's power, but for a moment they didn't realize that this person was the same one from the project.
It's no wonder they didn't recognize him at first.
In the eyes of many white people, all Asians look the same, let alone these Asians in ancient costumes. Most of them like to wear white clothes and look pretty much the same, except for beautiful women, of course.
"Mr. Kaidi means..."
"That person is not under their control!" Kaidi stated definitively. "You all know how many resources the Central Federation has spent maintaining that project. If they could control that person alone, they wouldn't need to cooperate with us at all; they would have already used the power of that world to turn against us."
"But they didn't. I had intelligence beforehand. The Central Federation learned from its previous mistakes and installed Disintegration Program on all the players who entered later. It's said that twenty years ago, there was a large-scale invasion. A guy codenamed Number One almost completed the mission, but an accident happened at the last moment, causing the operation to fail. Twenty years later, that old guy Zhang Zhengyuan felt he couldn't hold on any longer, so he risked starting a second one."
The others nodded in agreement. Zhang Zhengyuan had always been bold and authoritative, capable of doing such a thing, and the Central Federation would most likely acquiesce, not only because of the allure of Samsara and immortality in that world, but also because of the current dire situation.
The Central Federation is facing a shortage of top-tier experts, with several already deceased. Currently, only Zhang Zhengyuan is holding on.
Conversely, on the Western side, both the Duchess and Sita'er are in their prime.
With a lifespan of at least another hundred years, the Western camp has enough time to slowly scheme against the Central Federation. The intense crisis will also drive them to take risks.
"The reason I believed that West China would be shut down this time was because I judged that Zhang Zhengyuan would take a risk, and the result was unexpected. This is very logical. I have to say that the scheme they set up was too realistic and too ruthless. The internal turmoil alone probably killed hundreds of thousands of people. Who would have thought that it would be a show?"
"Despicable people from Central China!" Countless members of parliament were once again filled with righteous indignation.
"However, I still feel that they haven't fully grasped the project," Kaidi said. " Chen Qing's information was leaked by spies long ago. He wasn't one of the players the Central Federation had planned for, but someone whose origins are still unclear. Some say he's Pu Yunchuan, the designer of that Demon World; some say it might be a conspiracy by an ancient player in the game; and others say it was a mysterious high-ranking figure within the Central Federation who secretly sent him in."
"Since we still don't know the answer, I conclude that that person doesn't have the Disintegration Program, and the powerful families of the Central Federation simply can't control him!"
"Since he's uncontrollable, there must be something to restrain him and make him serve. David just mentioned a detail: that guy only kills top-tier combatants and isn't even interested in high-ranking commanders like them."
Kaidi looked at everyone and said, "Actually, if he had taken care of all the high-ranking commanders back then, our men wouldn't have even been able to escape. They might have been wiped out. By sparing those commanders' lives, he at least made it possible for the battlefield to retreat. I believe the enemy couldn't have been unaware of this, but he still didn't do it. What do you think is the reason?"
Most of the councilors present were seasoned veterans; how could they not have guessed?
Someone immediately realized, "Mr. Kaidi means that person doesn't want the Central Federation to have a monopoly?"
Kaidi immediately laughed, "That's right. He doesn't trust those powerful families in the Central Federation. As a strong player within the game, he has a fatal weakness: outsiders can shut down the game at any time. This is the most deadly threat to him."
" The Central Federation government has always been powerful and rarely allows anyone to escape its control. Its strong desire for control is the root of the conflict. That person is a smart man; he knows that the Central Federation needs competitors, and those powerful families need external threats to make them wary of shutting down the game. That's why he held back. So I'm quite certain that his agreement with the Central Federation absolutely does not include the annexation of us!"
Upon hearing this, all the councilors immediately understood and nodded repeatedly.
"If that's the case, shouldn't we contact that powerful figure?"
"What are you going to use to contact them?" Kaidi rolled her eyes at the other person. "They're from the East, so their interests are naturally aligned with the East. Do you think they'd help you? They're keeping us around to keep those powerful families in check, not to cooperate with you. Even if you could get in touch with them now, would they even bother with you?"
The mocked congressman immediately blushed.
So what should we do now?
"Issue a surrender statement immediately, without the slightest hesitation!" Kaidi declared solemnly. "Don't harbor any illusions, thinking that resisting a little longer and weakening the Central Federation will reduce their demands at the negotiating table. They'd love for you to keep fighting and hold on!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the agreement Central Federation and that person is to help them eliminate the special-grade combat forces they can't handle. As long as we hold out, the other side must continue to eliminate our special-grade combat forces according to the agreement. The longer you hold out, the more will die. If possible, the Central Federation would even be happy if that Chen Qing killed all of our special-grade personnel!"
--
"A surrender statement?"
Almost as soon as the counter-offensive began, and before the Central Federation's army had even reached the enemy's front lines, the four Federation, utterly spineless, all issued declarations of surrender.
At that moment, netizens from both the Central Federation and other Federation were stunned!
"Oh my god, what happened? Was it because of that can of beer? Am I dreaming?"
A large beer mug fell from the hand of a bloated white man as he stared blankly at the latest news. All the white people in the tavern watched this scene in disbelief, because they had just been betting on which Federation's hero would have more warriors, and on whether Zhang Zhengyuan would die at the hands of Sita'er or the Duchess.
No one could have predicted this outcome!
The four Federation, having amassed a million troops and gathered nearly half of the top-tier warriors from the four Virtual Realm, surrendered in less than half a day?
Are you kidding me?!
