151: Chapter 151, what about the rest?

After the USA placed its piece, only Dragon Kingdom remained without having placed its seeking worthy order.

Looking at the overall situation of the pieces already placed:

Famous Scholar [Benevolent Elder]: The country that placed its piece on his avatar is Prussia, and Prussia placed it ranked first.

(Dragon Kingdom's ranking for [Benevolent Elder]: Eighth)

Famous Scholar [Clan Head]: The country that placed its piece is France, and France placed it ranked fourth.

(Dragon Kingdom's ranking for [Clan Head]: Eighth)

Famous Scholar [Official]: The country that placed its piece is Ottoman, placing it ranked third.

(Dragon Kingdom's ranking for [Official]: Eighth)

Famous Scholar [Abbot]: Russia placed its piece here ranked fourth, but Rome, ranked fifth, also placed its seeking worthy order here; there is only a three-point favorability difference between the two countries.

(Dragon Kingdom's ranking for [Abbot] is also eighth)

Famous Scholar [Ranger]: Britain placed its piece ranked first.

(Dragon Kingdom's ranking here is second)

Famous Scholar [Maritime Merchant]: Prussia placed its piece ranked fourth.

(Dragon Kingdom's ranking for [Maritime Merchant] is third)!!!

Finally, it was the USA's turn to place its piece.

Famous Scholar [Dean]: Dragon Kingdom remained at the extremely low eighth place. The USA did not place its piece on the top-ranked [Maritime Merchant], but instead placed it on [Dean].

Although this choice had little impact on the USA, for Dragon Kingdom, it was undoubtedly extremely favorable!

Next, as long as Dragon Kingdom places its piece on the [Maritime Merchant], it can squeeze out the Prussian piece and thereby secure the quota for the Heroic Spirit!

Dragon Kingdom's Heroic Spirits are inherently strong.

Although the Heroic Spirit recommended by [Maritime Merchant] is a 'naval warfare genius', for the subsequent battle to exterminate the Calamity Demon on land, other countries choosing such Heroic Spirits might affect their combat effectiveness. But for Dragon Kingdom, it has [Zhou Yu] to choose from, and [Qi Jiguang] to choose from.

[Zhou Yu] and [Qi Jiguang] are skilled in both naval warfare and commanding battles on land. With the USA yielding [Maritime Merchant] to Dragon Kingdom, at the very least, in terms of the compatibility of the Heroic Spirit type, Dragon Kingdom has no shortcomings!

Then, place the seeking worthy order on the [Maritime Merchant]!

With the situation of each country's placement like this, it seems Dragon Kingdom has no other choice.

Yet, Chen Aoyun did not rush to enter the compass to place his piece as most expected.

Instead, he looked around and called out to the [Strategists] of all countries except Sakura Country,

"The one hundred ancient book fragments have not appeared yet.

When doing the favorability task for [Maritime Merchant], although my Dragon Kingdom is not short of money, I was always worried about being ambushed, so I was trembling with fear while doing the task. Not only that, when I bought the rare treasures needed for the task, I could only buy the expensive ones you all left behind.

This caused Dragon Kingdom's ranking with [Maritime Merchant] to be higher than Prussia's, but not by much—only nine points.

One ancient book fragment can increase favorability by one point, and there are over a hundred in total.

The ancient book fragments haven't appeared, so I dare not place my piece now!"

Chen Aoyun turned his head to look at the [Strategist] from Britain,

"You seemed to have something to say to me after you placed your seeking worthy order just now?

What do you want to say?

I guess it's to discuss the matter of the ancient book fragments, right?"

The British [Strategist] stepped forward upon hearing this, clutching the ancient book fragments in his hand, and the quantity was not small!

"Haha, you are indeed a smart person.

It is hard for me to refuse what the Sakura people promised, but I also want to win this first act.

The USA has actively shown goodwill by yielding [Maritime Merchant] to your Dragon Kingdom. If I don't take action, wouldn't the top spot of this first act be snatched away by the USA?

I have already placed my piece at [Ranger].

I have already done what I promised the Sakura people. So, take all the ancient book fragments in my hand; they are useless to me."

A total of thirty-five ancient book fragments. After the British [Strategist] handed them to Chen Aoyun, before he could speak, Prussia started cursing,

"You bastard, you shameless guy, wasn't it agreed that we would place our Famous Scholar pieces according to the layout of Sakura Country?

If you give all the ancient book fragments to Dragon Kingdom like this, how can I turn the tables?"

While speaking, the Prussian [Strategist] also took out the ancient book fragments he had obtained. A total of fourteen ancient book fragments were used by him to increase the favorability of [Maritime Merchant].

Instantly, Prussia's favorability with [Maritime Merchant] surpassed Dragon Kingdom by five points.

Dragon Kingdom can use the ancient book fragments sent by the British [Strategist] to surpass them back.

Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Aoyun.

Chen Aoyun, who had already received the ancient book fragments handed over by the British person, sneered at this moment.

The British [Strategist] looked at Chen Aoyun,

"Friend, the ancient book fragments I, Britain, obtained have already been delivered to your hands. By using these ancient book fragments to increase the favorability of [Maritime Merchant], wouldn't your Dragon Kingdom catch up?

Why are you standing there frozen and laughing?"

Chen Aoyun silently held up these thirty-six ancient book fragments. Zhao Hongxiu, who was beside him, had long wanted to say something to Chen Aoyun. After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help it and said,

"Prussia has fourteen ancient book fragments in hand, Britain gave you thirty-five, and we have one of our own, adding up to fifty.

Where are the remaining fifty ancient book fragments?"

That's right, where are the remaining fifty ancient book fragments?

After Prussia used up all the ancient book fragments in its hand, its favorability with [Maritime Merchant] surpassed Dragon Kingdom by five points.

If Dragon Kingdom uses up the thirty-six ancient book fragments in its hand now, its favorability with [Maritime Merchant] can surpass Prussia's, being 31 points higher than Prussia.

But there are still fifty ancient book fragments left outside!

50 minus 31 leaves 19. If the remaining ancient book fragments are also in Prussia's hands, Prussia can once again surpass Dragon Kingdom by 19 points!

Don't look at it as just 19 points of favorability. When all one hundred ancient book fragments are exhausted, Dragon Kingdom will have no possibility of catching up with the ranking improved by Prussia's 19-point lead.

Just then, the [Strategists] of other countries spoke up one after another,

"It is difficult to collect ancient book fragments; fourteen should already be all that Prussia has!

I can guarantee to you in the name of a [Strategist] that the ancient book fragments in my hand now will not be given to others, and even if used, they will only be used on the Famous Scholar I placed my piece on!"

The Prussians guaranteed this.

The [Strategists] of Rome, the USA, the Ottoman Empire, and France also guaranteed this to Chen Aoyun.

During the process of these countries giving their guarantees, the Ottoman [Strategist] Adar had a strange expression. Chen Aoyun saw it but did not ask, instead looking around.

Finally, Chen Aoyun's gaze fell on the only person who remained silent besides Sakura Country—

The Russian [Strategist]!

Chen Aoyun said to the Russian [Strategist],

"If I am not mistaken, you have ancient book fragments in your hand, but your ancient book fragments will definitely not exceed 7!

Right?"

The Russian [Strategist] was stunned, then nodded subconsciously, and asked curiously,

"How did you know how many ancient book fragments I have in my hand?"

Chen Aoyun walked towards the other party, saying as he walked,

"Because you are the other person besides me who has been played!"

Step by step approaching the [Strategist] of Russia.

After Chen Aoyun arrived beside the Russian [Strategist], Chen Aoyun made a move that none of the [Strategists] present, including the audience watching the live broadcast, and indeed everyone in the world, had expected:

Chen Aoyun smiled and looked at the Russian [Strategist]. Amidst the other party's puzzled gaze, Chen Aoyun stretched out the hand holding the thirty-six ancient book fragments.

He pressed all thirty-six ancient book fragments in his hand—every single one of them—

Onto the hands of the Russian [Strategist]!!!
