185: Chapter 185 From the very beginning, the world's point of contention was wrong!

Chen Aoyun had said it himself: China no longer possessed a second Ancient Hero Spirit related to [Borrowing the East Wind]!

This statement was earth-shattering, and it left audiences around the world with their brains on the verge of crashing.

"Since there isn't a second Ancient Hero Spirit related to [Borrowing the East Wind], why is China occupying an 'Ancient Hero Spirit Resource Point'?"

"Furthermore, you didn't just occupy it; you even withdrew Xiao Zhenghong, who had been patrolling near the 'Modern Hero Spirit Resource Point'. What exactly are you trying to do, Chen Aoyun!"

Occupying a resource point did not mean one could automatically activate a Heroic Spirit Manifestation.

Especially after Chen Aoyun made that statement, audiences worldwide became even more curious about what he was really up to.

Time ticked away, and as Zhao Hongxiu gradually occupied the resource point, several other countries had already finished their own occupations and began to summon Heroic Spirit Manifestations again by using their previous elements.

Take the USA, for example:

The USA had previously used the Hero Spirit [Tesla] to locate a 'Technology Resource Point'.

Now, the USA had used the 'Power of Technology' to find the Hero Spirit [Fermi] at a 'Modern Hero Spirit Resource Point'!

[Fermi] was a scientist, strongly linked to the concept of 'Technology', representing the most typical mode of resource point utilization.

Other countries followed the same logic.

Once most countries had successfully summoned their Heroic Spirit Manifestations, the USA [Strategist] suddenly proposed from outside the chessboard:

"Everyone, shall we join forces to deal with China?"

No one responded.

What a joke. The USA currently held the highest total score in this third act of the Game of National Destiny. If anyone were to be targeted, it should be the USA.

The USA [Strategist] retorted arrogantly:

"That's the wrong way to think about it.

Not only is the USA in first place in terms of total points, but we are also leading by a significant margin!

Even if you try to kill our people to reduce our score, the USA's total points will still remain far ahead, and the rankings of most of your countries won't change!

Killing Chinese people is different! Their ranking hovers around the top three, and their points are quite close to yours.

For every Chinese Roleplayer you kill, you reduce their score by one point, increasing the chances that your rankings will surpass China in the future!

Besides, have you all forgotten how the Chinese mass-delivered 'packages' to you before? Don't you want to avenge the grudge of China slaughtering everyone?"

Hearing this, the Russia [Strategist] Toslev said sarcastically:

"If China was hateful for killing everyone they saw on the previous map, wouldn't the USA be even more hateful?

When China used [Dongfeng-61] to kill people, at least they targeted Roleplayers who had already awakened their Heroic Spirit Manifestations. If they weren't strong enough, getting killed was just part of the game.

That's nowhere near as bad as your USA's [Tesla]! The people your USA killed with [Tesla] on the previous map didn't even have Heroic Spirit Manifestations!"

"If we're talking about who should be retaliated against or ganged up on, China is at most second—the USA is definitely first!"

This single sentence left the USA [Strategist] speechless.

The France [Strategist] thought for a moment, then unexpectedly sided with Russia:

"The Russian is right. Besides, China is already inside the resource point; they should be coming out soon.

If the resource point China occupied is useless to them, then there's no need for us to siege them; the Sakura people will take action themselves.

But if the resource point is effective, and Chen Aoyun wasn't telling the truth earlier—what if China has a second [Borrowing the East Wind] Hero Spirit? Wouldn't that mean China could continue 'delivering packages' to everyone? Either way, a siege is pointless. France has no interest."

The USA had a different take on this:

"Since you're all worried that China has a second [Borrowing the East Wind] Hero Spirit, why not kill Zhao Hongxiu inside the resource point before they finish occupying it!

Those who have already activated their Heroic Spirit Manifestations cannot enter. The Sakura people are too far away and wouldn't make it in time; besides, they still need to guard against China's 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' tactic.

Why don't we just send one of our Roleplayers who hasn't activated a Heroic Spirit Manifestation to enter the resource point and kill that Chinese, Zhao Hongxiu? France, your country's Roleplayer is the closest to the resource point where Zhao Hongxiu is located, why don't you..."

The USA's proposal was immediately rejected by France.

What a joke. If China happened to have a second [Borrowing the East Wind] Hero Spirit, they didn't target France last time, so they probably wouldn't this time either.

Thinking about it, if China actually had a second [Borrowing the East Wind] Hero Spirit, it would actually be beneficial for France!

If China killed everyone else except themselves and Russia, just like last time, wouldn't that be even better?

Exchanging a glance with the Russia [Strategist], the two countries, which hadn't gotten along well before, suddenly spoke in unison at this moment:

"Don't even think about killing China's Zhao Hongxiu in that resource point! Zhao Hongxiu is closest to us, so we've got her covered! We might not be able to beat you, but we can definitely stall for enough time!"

When the audience in the livestream saw this scene, everyone was stunned.

"Regardless of whether China sparing Russia and France on the previous map was because they foresaw this scenario,

China's choice to seize resources at the point closest to Russia and France was definitely not random!

Could Chen Aoyun have realized that these two countries wouldn't attack him, and might even help him?"

Schemes. Indeed, no one in the Game of National Destiny was lacking in schemes!

With the two countries closest to Zhao Hongxiu offering protection, the USA's plans were completely thwarted.

And so, after going around in circles, the problem returned to the original point: whether or not the 'Ancient Hero Spirit Resource Point' could be used by China would decide everything.

The audience didn't have to wait long; Zhao Hongxiu quickly and completely occupied the 'Ancient Hero Spirit Resource Point'!

The moment to reveal whether [Dongfeng-61] could be used as a catalyst to summon an Ancient Hero Spirit at this resource point had finally arrived!

Outside the chessboard, Chen Aoyun, acting as the [Strategist], spoke with conviction.

He hadn't lied earlier; China really didn't have a second Hero Spirit capable of 'Borrowing the East Wind'!

But who said that summoning an Ancient Hero Spirit using [Dongfeng-61] as a catalyst required the ability to 'Borrow the East Wind'!!!

From the very beginning, the entire world had been arguing about the wrong point!

Even without relying on the words 'Borrowing the East Wind', Chen Aoyun could still use [Dongfeng-61] as a catalyst to summon an Ancient Hero Spirit of Huaxia!
