147: Chapter 147 Absolutely Impossible

There were 8 days left until the end of the first act.

In the eyes of the viewers watching the live stream, the action strategy of the Dragon Country, which only had three people left, had changed again.

Every day, Chen Aoyun would carry cameras and coins, shuttling between the rooftops of the tallest buildings in various 'wanted criminal activity areas.'

After setting up the cameras on the rooftops, Chen Aoyun would return to the streets and crush massive amounts of coins in these areas!

After crushing the coins, Chen Aoyun would also try to complete the favorability quests for the three Famous Scholars: [Craftsman], [Bride-to-be], and [Beast Tamer].

The quests for the [Craftsman], [Bride-to-be], and [Beast Tamer] were all very simple; they were nothing more than spending money.

The exclusive skill of the Heroic Spirit [Ying Quliang] caused the performance of that shell company to skyrocket. With money in ample supply, and other countries completely uninterested in the quests of these three Famous Scholars, completing them could be said to be incredibly easy.

Fan Ling was also working on the quests for these three Famous Scholars, but Chen Aoyun and Fan Ling were operating separately to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.

As for Xiao Zhenghong, he had been arranged by Chen Aoyun to look for opportunities at various auction houses.

Xiao Zhenghong did not have disguise abilities himself, so it was very risky to have him frequent auction houses.

However, Fan Ling, who had disguise abilities, was bound to the shell company, and Fan Ling could not afford any accidents, so Chen Aoyun had no choice but to let Xiao Zhenghong take the risk.

The viewers watching the live stream were dumbfounded.

Ever since Chen Aoyun started buying a large number of cameras and placing them on the rooftops of various areas, almost all the meeting spots between wanted criminals and officials were chosen on rooftops, as if they had agreed upon it beforehand.

If it weren't for Britain quickly noticing this situation, the [Ranger] quests would have almost been snatched up entirely by the Dragon Country.

This operation continued until the third day before the end of the first act.

The midnight bell rang.

Among all the Famous Scholars who could recommend Heroic Spirits, the Dragon Country's ranking was very low, with the exception of the Famous Scholars [Maritime Merchant] and [Ranger].

For the Famous Scholar [Maritime Merchant], the Dragon Country's favorability was 157, ranking fourth.

Ranking ahead of the Dragon Country were: the USA, Britain, and Russia.

For the Famous Scholar [Ranger], the Dragon Country's favorability was 21, ranking first.

Ranking second was Britain with 18.

However, this first place for [Ranger] was not very stable. The gap with Britain was too small, only 3 points. Not only Britain, but if other countries had enough Ancient Book Fragments in their hands, they could easily overtake them.

Fortunately, that phone call Chen Aoyun made earlier was starting to have an effect!

No country was going to complete the quests for the three Famous Scholars who did not recommend Heroic Spirits: the [Craftsman], [Bride-to-be], and [Beast Tamer].

The Dragon Country used its "money power" to forcefully smash the favorability of these three Famous Scholars to a dominant first place!

The [Strategists] from other countries, who had previously doubted the Dragon Country's abilities, began to seriously consider Chen Aoyun's suggestion after seeing the changes in the compass favorability over the past few days:

"Should we really use Ancient Book Fragments and necessary cooperation to exchange for the 'Gift of the Famous Scholar' from the Dragon Country?"

Being able to forge friendships and summon Heroic Spirits was only one part of the first act. [Rule 8 of the First Act] stated very clearly: [The degree of the Heroic Spirits' strike against the wandering calamities in the north is the actual score for the first act].

Heroic Spirits with equipment enhancements would naturally be stronger, and their scores would be higher.

The [Strategists] of various countries had already called.

Some expressed willingness to reach this deal with Chen Aoyun, while others said they would consider it, but because their own ranking with the Famous Scholar was at risk, they could give the Ancient Book Fragments to the Dragon Country, but they would only trade after confirming on the final day that their ranking was not at risk.

These people were very cunning. They talked very harmoniously with Chen Aoyun on the phone, but when Chen Aoyun asked them to swear in the name of a [Strategist], not a single one was willing to do so!

"A self-conceited move!" The commentator Heller in the broadcast room mocked Chen Aoyun's stupidity. "The promises made by the Sakura Country to other countries have long exceeded the benefits that any country can obtain in this Game of National Destiny!"

"No one will really agree to Chen Aoyun's deal!

Even those phone calls made to Chen Aoyun were tacitly approved by the Sakura Country!

Expecting to exchange for Ancient Book Fragments through deals?

To exchange for cooperation from other countries when necessary?

No chance at all!

The Dragon Country is completely kept in the dark!

They've been played!

The previous two Games of National Destiny made the Sakura Country lose face and lose scores.

In this Game of National Destiny, the Sakura people are going to treat the Dragon Country like a monkey!"

Commentator Heller, who detested the Dragon Country, spoke sharply, but his words left the other commentator, York, unable to refute.

Judging from the current situation, even if the Dragon Country could maintain the rankings of [Maritime Merchant] and [Ranger] for the next three days, the Dragon Country would still be unable to obtain Heroic Spirits from the Famous Scholars!

This is the foundation of a powerful nation.

This is the reason why, if a powerful nation recklessly targets a weak nation, the weak nation has absolutely no capital to resist!

Don't look at the fact that the benefits promised by the Sakura Country are already greater than the rewards of this Game of National Destiny; for the Sakura Country, which has accumulated hundreds of years of foundation, such losses are completely within an acceptable range.

What the Sakura Country wants to do is naturally clear to all the powerful nations participating in this Game of National Destiny.

National War!

The Sakura Country's goal is the upcoming National War.

Although other countries cannot accept the Sakura Country annexing the Dragon Country alone, preventing the annexation does not necessarily have to be done during this Game of National Destiny.

Even allowing the Sakura Country to annex the Dragon Country, as long as the Sakura Country is willing to carve out spheres of influence for other countries after annexing the Dragon Country and is willing to provide enough benefits, such an annexation is not impossible!

Just as they do not wish to see the Sakura Country swallow the Dragon Country alone, similarly, the Dragon Country's performance in the recent few Games of National Destiny has been too dazzling. No country wants another powerful nation to emerge in the Game of National Destiny. Stifling the Dragon Country is beneficial to all countries!

Therefore, as commentator Heller said, all the phone calls made to Chen Aoyun were fake!

For the [Maritime Merchant], the Dragon Country only ranks fourth. When it comes to forging friendships at the end, no country will cooperate and give up the spot for this Famous Scholar!

Not only will they not cooperate, they will even target them!

As for the [Ranger], where the Dragon Country currently ranks first, it is even easier to handle.

The Dragon Country only has one Ancient Book Fragment in its possession.

And the Sakura Country is lucky. From the beginning of the first act, it found the main volume of the ancient book. Added to the fragments it accidentally obtained later, the favorability that the ancient book could influence for the Sakura Country alone is as high as 38 points!

The Sakura Country can completely use the fragments in its hands to smash out a dominant first place with the Famous Scholar [Ranger], turning the Dragon Country's first place into a joke in the eyes of all viewers!

And in all of this, Chen Aoyun of the Dragon Country seems to still be intoxicated by the trading phone calls from various countries, unaware of it!

It must be said that in this first act, there is still gaming between various countries, but this gaming has nothing to do with the Dragon Country. In the hearts of the commentators, audience, and the [Strategists] of various countries, for the Dragon Country wanting to forge friendships and obtain Heroic Spirits, there are only four words...

Im · pos · si · ble!
