"That won't do!"
Without almost any hesitation, all the members of parliament immediately shook their heads.
Regarding the issue of dealing with players, if their identities were leaked, for the sake of the bigger picture and to prevent their group from being targeted by the local natives while they are still weak, Chen Qing's approach, although it may sound a bit excessive, is not incomprehensible.
But I can't understand the second question.
What's the point of leaving someone here? What are they planning to do?
They had already witnessed Chen Qing's overwhelming combat power. Now, all the special forces personnel in the virtual world were like paper to him. Leaving someone here was like leaving a time bomb.
"No way?" Chen Qing was equally decisive, saying calmly, "Then there's no need for cooperation."
These words immediately turned all the councilors' faces ashen; it was a blatant threat!
But these were all seasoned councilors, and they obviously wouldn't really let this cause a major rift. The head of the council, Old Master Hou, remained calm and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, there's no need to be so resolute."
"Aren't you the ones who are resolute?" Chen Qing said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, please explain your reasons. Why leave someone here?" Old Master Hou asked curiously.
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just wanted to send a reliable person here to help investigate some things," Chen Qing said. "I know you won't give up on the Demon World, and I'm not worried about the risk of it being shut down. If you wanted to do this, you would have done it already, instead of spending so much energy to maintain it until today. I don't plan to do anything, and you can't stop me from sending someone here, because he's already here."
"Hmm?" Elder Hou was taken aback, then finally couldn't keep his composure and looked at Chen Qing.
They've already arrived?
Is this just bluffing, or...?
The thought had barely formed when a bizarre scene unfolded. Suddenly, a distortion occurred beside Chen Qing, and without any warning, a young man in black appeared. He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a handsome and aloof face, a typical Eastern appearance.
When did this person come in?
All the councilors tensed up!!
This conference hall has multiple security checkpoints to prevent high-level life forms from infiltrating and posing a threat to senior Federation officials.
After all, every country has its own high-level assassins. Without protection, even a high-level meeting could become a target. Encrypted data storage rooms, along with multiple layers of external security, are crucial means of defending against these high-level life forms.
When Chen Qing entered, a warning had already sounded. He was a special-level life form with the highest energy level to date. He had barely managed to enter the conference room after passing through multiple security checks.
But where did this person come from?
It's impossible for them to sneak in, right?
The Federation's intelligent detection system is something no life form can escape, as long as it is data composed of energy.
"To be honest, I really admire your courage in daring to open the portal to the Demon World," Chen Qing said with a smile, looking at everyone.
No one knew better than him how bizarre and terrifying the demons of that world were. In a place like the digital world, the demons from his world were like fish in water. If any one of them were to sneak in, this world would probably be crying for its parents.
"Did Mr. Chen plan this all along?" Hou Tianhua looked at the man in black, his face extremely grim.
"It's not really a design," Chen Qing shook her head. "This is a friend of mine from over there. He was curious about this place and came without my permission."
"Absurd!" one of the white-haired old men shouted angrily. "The passage is strictly guarded; there's no way it could have been missed. What method did you use? Or did Zhang Zhengyuan secretly reopen the passage behind our backs?"
"You already said there couldn't be any oversights, so why are you asking me for a solution?" Chen Qing chuckled. "As for Zhang Zhengyuan? According to you, that so-called passage requires authorization from many of you to open, right? What use is it if he's the only one secretly colluding with me?"
Everyone: "."
Hou Tianhua took a breath and calmed himself down, saying, "Mr. Chen, are you saying that your friend came here without going through our channels? If your people have that ability, why didn't they come sooner?"
"That's why I said you have courage." Chen Qing sighed, "You've always only observed that world from one side, letting some people in but never letting anyone from the other side in. This cautious attitude is actually good, but this time, you crossed the line. No matter how careful you are, once you cross the line, the barrier that you thought was unbreakable before is nothing."
"There are many ways to infiltrate this place, more than you can imagine." Chen Qing looked at Hou Tianhua seriously. "I hope you will be more cautious when you come into contact with anyone or anything from that world!"
Everyone's face turned from pale to ashen. Hou Tianhua's expression was also uncertain. After a long while, he stood up and bowed to Chen Qing: "Thank you for your guidance."
They're all shrewd people; how could they not understand Chen Qing's meaning?
The power system over there is far too complex for you self-righteous fools to comprehend. The passage you think is perfectly safe is nothing in that world. If Chen Qing can bring people in, others can too. Just because Chen Qing doesn't have any bad intentions doesn't mean others don't.
If you want to collaborate with anyone other than Chen Qing, you need to see if you can handle it!
Wang Ye, standing to the side, slightly curled his lip. He had really been used to death. He hadn't accomplished anything along the way, yet he had been dragged along to put on such a big show.
However, to be fair, the effect was indeed very good; many members of parliament temporarily abandoned some of their ideas.
Originally, their plan was indeed to try cooperating with other people, including some lone wolf players, once they arrived in that world. If Chen Qing could cooperate, so could others? You can't put all your eggs in one basket.
But Chen Qing showed them with facts that doing so was extremely dangerous.
The so-called passage and data detection weren't as secure as they seemed. Until they figured out how this person got in, they wouldn't consider cooperating with any player other than Chen Qing!
The risk is too great. Who knows if the next player to infiltrate will be a madman like Number One?
Seeing everyone's frightened expressions, Chen Qing nodded slightly. It seemed that luring Wang Ye in had been effective. He really didn't want the people here to have any secret cooperation with any other players from that world. The risk was too great, not only for the Federation but also for him.
If the Federation still takes the risk after his warning, then there's nothing he can do.
"Mr. Chen, may I ask what you intend for your friend to investigate here?" Hou Tianhua smiled and said, "We can provide the greatest assistance."
"It's mainly to investigate my past." Chen Qing didn't hide anything from the other party.
"Investigating your past?" Hou Tianhua's heart skipped a beat.
" Number One has already told me most of my guesses about my origins. I also want to know how I got here, and what the guy who sent me in was up to. Having someone like this in the shadows makes me feel uneasy, and I'm sure you all feel the same way, right?"
"Mr. Chen, rest assured, we will do our best to investigate this matter!" Hou Tianhua assured him.
"I still trust my own people more." Chen Qing smiled and stood up, "These are the only two conditions, nothing else. If you agree, you can continue to let people in tomorrow. This time, the Underworld from Shandong haven't arrived yet, so a considerable number of people can be brought in for a short period."
Approximately how much can be entered?
"One hundred million," Chen Qing said after thinking for a moment. "As for who to choose, that's your business."
One hundred million.
Everyone's eyes lit up. This number made them feel much better. This number could completely solve the problem of insufficient capacity in the Central Federation. Once this hundred million was transferred, the entire environment would be much easier, and social conflicts would be temporarily resolved. It was much smoother than they had imagined.
They had always thought the other side would slowly choke them by manipulating their numbers, but they never expected them to be so generous.
So, after some details were settled, the Central Federation announced the full opening of the New World the next day, and also announced the conditions for entering the New World.
The moment those conditions were announced, the entire Federation erupted in excitement!
