155: Chapter 155 Chen Aoyun's Final Move

"All the Famous Scholars are now under my planning, all belonging to other countries. Without Famous Scholars, there are no Heroic Spirits. I'd like to see how you win this scene!"

Saku Kenichi's words were like a sharp dagger, stinging every Dragon Country citizen watching the live stream and leaving Fan Ling and the others on the scene speechless.

"How to win? Like this!"

Chen Aoyun silently put away the 'Gift' from the [Beast Tamer], then with a flick of his wrist, the Dragon Country's [seeking worthy order] appeared in his hand.

With a forceful swing, Chen Aoyun tossed the [seeking worthy order] into the air, where it began circling the compass.

The [seeking worthy order] moved at incredible speed, leaving afterimages above the compass!

Afterimage after afterimage, passing by one after another.

The [Strategists] from various countries present were shocked to discover that as the [seeking worthy order] accelerated its orbit in the air, their eyesight actually began to fail to keep up with its movement!

"What kind of move is this? Why does it feel like the way the [seeking worthy order] is flying is a bit similar to when Chen Aoyun runs away?"

Previously, Chen Aoyun had used a fake [Seven In, Seven Out] to escape from Raiders of other countries several times.

At that time, these people couldn't keep up with the speed of the fake [Seven In, Seven Out]. Now that the fake [Seven In, Seven Out] was imbued onto the [seeking worthy order], the target was smaller and harder to track. After staring at the [seeking worthy order] for a while, the [Strategists] from various countries present quickly became dizzy and nauseous from watching it circle.

"Is this your last trump card? You want to confuse the candidate for the Famous Scholar placement!"

[Act 1 Rule 6: Each faction can only reach 'true friendship' with one NPC at the end of the month].

According to this rule, no matter how many [seeking worthy orders] Prussia holds, they can only achieve friendship with one Famous Scholar in the end!

Prussia's two [seeking worthy orders] had landed on the [Benevolent Elder] and the [Maritime Merchant] respectively, and these two Famous Scholars had no other country's [seeking worthy order] placed on them besides Prussia's.

In the end, Prussia still had to choose one of the two.

As long as Chen Aoyun could confuse his own placement, making it impossible for the Prussians to determine whether he ultimately placed it on the [Benevolent Elder] or the [Maritime Merchant], he would have a chance to gain the Famous Scholar's friendship!

At this, Saku Kenichi laughed, and he laughed quite arrogantly.

Unexpected things always happened with Chen Aoyun, but if Chen Aoyun's arrogant words and final trump card were based on [Act 1 Rule 6], then Saku Kenichi's previously anxious heart was now completely at ease.

Saku Kenichi lectured Chen Aoyun in a tone like he was educating a child:

"Studying the details of every rule is indeed a basic skill for all [Strategists]. However, trusting the rules you have mastered too much can also lead to serious misjudgments!"

"Yes, that's right, [Act 1 Rule 6] limits the number of friendships each faction can form to only one Famous Scholar. But there is a hidden rule that echoes it that you haven't discovered!"

"You might think that regardless of whether there are other rules in this first act that you haven't discovered, unknown rules will not conflict with known rules. Rules indeed do not conflict with each other, but for you to bet all your hope on [Act 1 Rule 6] because of that... I can only say you are too naive, too stupid!"

[Act 1 Rule D: When possessing two [seeking worthy orders], different Raiders from the same country can be treated as two different factions from the same country]!

"Didn't expect that, right! It doesn't conflict with [Act 1 Rule 6], but Prussia can still use this rule to form friendships with two Famous Scholars! Chen, you miscalculated! Your final struggle has completely turned into a joke because of your cowardice during the raiding phase, which led to incomplete rule collection!"

Saku Kenichi's words completely shattered the expectations of Fan Ling and the others.

The Dragon Country had no chance of winning by placing the [seeking worthy order] on a Famous Scholar in the normal way, and now even Chen Aoyun's diversionary tactic was declared useless by Saku Kenichi.

At this point, all paths had been blocked by the Sakura people!

An atmosphere of despair shrouded the hearts of Zhao Hongxiu and the others.

Subconsciously looking at Chen Aoyun, Zhao Hongxiu and the others discovered that Chen Aoyun's expression was still as calm as ever!

Was his mental fortitude that good?

Perhaps it was because Chen Aoyun felt he had already made the Sakura people pay a high enough price, and if this first act was lost, then so be it?

Was he truly indifferent about losing this act, or was Chen Aoyun just feigning calmness at this moment to secure a dignified defeat for himself and the Dragon Country?

Chen Aoyun's answer:

Neither!

Chen Aoyun was still calmly manipulating the flight of the [seeking worthy order].

Confusing his own placement? And then using [Act 1 Rule 6] to gamble on a loophole where Prussia had to choose one of two?

Chen Aoyun had never thought that way.

Although he had never encountered [Act 1 Rule D], Chen Aoyun could still understand that if Prussia really needed to choose one of two, how could Russia have been squeezed out by the Sakura people?

"I originally just wanted to show off, originally just wanted to demonstrate my ability, to let Raiders who haven't fought me know that my escape methods are just like this speeding [seeking worthy order], still hard to kill in the next few acts. If there is any thought of counter-plotting against Sakura Country, feel free to come find me to discuss it in the future... But I didn't expect you to misunderstand it as me wanting to create a diversion. However, you have also reminded me. Let me ask, who can tell me all the rules of this act?"

Russia's [Strategist] couldn't see how Chen Aoyun could still turn the tables in this situation, but whatever, since Chen Aoyun asked, out of dissatisfaction with the Sakura people, he told him everything he knew without reservation.

There were indeed a few rules among those told by the Russians that Chen Aoyun did not know, but fortunately, these rules did not conflict with Chen Aoyun's next move.

Since that was the case, it was finally the moment for Chen Aoyun to reveal his true intent!

"Guessing back and forth, you guessed it all wrong. Watch closely, this is my true goal!"

In the surprised gaze of everyone, the [seeking worthy order] speeding in the air suddenly slowed down.

This action alone was enough to prove that Chen Aoyun wasn't lying; there was no such thing as confusing the placement.

The slowing [seeking worthy order] drew an arc in the air, and then, this [seeking worthy order] bypassed the top-ranked Famous Scholar [Ranger] of the Dragon Country, bypassed the [Maritime Merchant]... bypassed all the Famous Scholars who could recommend Heroic Spirits on the surface, and finally, with a flash of light, it dived into the avatar of the Famous Scholar [Bride-to-be]!

"What? The Dragon Country actually placed their [seeking worthy order] on the [Bride-to-be]? Are they crazy? Doesn't the Famous Scholar [Bride-to-be] fail to recommend Heroic Spirits, and only reward a 'Famous Scholar's Gift'?"

Everyone at the scene was stunned, and the audience watching the live stream was also extremely shocked.

What was Chen Aoyun doing?

For a Famous Scholar who doesn't recommend Heroic Spirits, one can get a 'Gift' without placing a [seeking worthy order]. Wasn't Chen Aoyun doing something unnecessary by sending the [seeking worthy order] into the [Bride-to-be]'s avatar? And he wasted a [seeking worthy order] for nothing!

Could it be that Chen Aoyun wanted to get a quota for a Heroic Spirit from the [Bride-to-be]?!

Is that possible?

What is the first-place reward for the [Bride-to-be]?

Isn't it [Dowry]?

How can [Dowry] be connected to Heroic Spirits?
