186: Chapter 186 Du Wuku!!!

"Who said that using [Dongfeng-61] to summon an Ancient Hero Spirit requires the Hero Spirit to be able to 'Borrowing the East Wind'?"

Chen Aoyun looked around, emphasizing the words 'Ancient Hero Spirit'.

"I don't need the words 'Borrowing the East Wind' to summon an Ancient Hero Spirit for the Dragon Country!"

As he spoke, Chen Aoyun drew the power from the resource point into his hands.

Then, he suddenly raised his hand and placed the piece!

The piece that landed was none other than—[Du Yu]!

"Oh my god! Chen Aoyun really used [Dongfeng-61] as a catalyst to summon a Huaxia Hero Spirit. Hiss, who is this Hero Spirit? Why would Chen Aoyun say this Hero Spirit has nothing to do with 'Borrowing the East Wind'? If they are unrelated, then how was this Hero Spirit summoned?"

A multitude of questions swirled in the minds of all the viewers.

Even the [Strategist]s from other countries opposite Chen Aoyun cast curious, questioning glances.

Chen Aoyun didn't know when it started, but he felt that answering questions in the Game of National Destiny and recounting the fragmented history and culture of the Old Era would be beneficial.

It was just a premonition, but Chen Aoyun always trusted his premonitions, so he was happy to provide an open and honest explanation after showing off for the Dragon Country.

Of course, Chen Aoyun wasn't stupid enough to speak up voluntarily; that would seem a bit dull.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of curious babies here, especially curious babies like the Ottoman [Strategist] Adar.

The last 'bulk delivery' hadn't missed Adar, and this guy didn't seem to hold a grudge; he was still as familiar as ever. Across the chessboard, he asked from afar, "Brother Chen, is the Hero Spirit you summoned from the 'Ancient Hero Spirit Resource Point' really, as you said, not another Huaxia Hero Spirit capable of 'Borrowing the East Wind'?"

Chen Aoyun pretended to be troubled and struggled for a long time without speaking.

"If you don't want to explain, forget it. I understand, I understand. After all, every Hero Spirit's story is linked to their abilities. Explaining like this in public is tantamount to leaking secrets."

Adar sighed with regret, gave Chen Aoyun a feigned resentful look, and didn't intend to continue pressing. Yet, unexpectedly, after struggling for a moment, Chen Aoyun actually started to explain for him.

Chen Aoyun first countered by asking Adar, "Without a second Hero Spirit capable of 'Borrowing the East Wind', how do you think I should have used [Dongfeng-61] as a catalyst to summon a Hero Spirit in reverse under normal circumstances?"

Adar blurted out, "Without a second Hero Spirit capable of 'Borrowing the East Wind', the word 'East Wind' in the wonder [Dongfeng-61] cannot be used as a catalyst. One could only approach it from other directions of this wonder. Considering that the prototype of the [Dongfeng-61] wonder is a thermal weapon, the most conventional method would be to find an 'Modern Hero Spirit Resource Point' and use the fact that the [Dongfeng-61] prototype is a missile as a catalyst to summon a Hero Spirit related to the word 'missile'. That would comply with the correspondence principle mentioned in [Act 3 Rule 7]."

"Bingo, you got it right. That's exactly the line of thinking!" Chen Aoyun said after snapping his fingers at Adar.

Adar looked confused, "How is that right? How is 'that exactly the line of thinking'? Isn't the line of thinking I just described what your Dragon Country should use only if you occupy a 'Modern Hero Spirit Resource Point'? But your Dragon Country didn't occupy a 'Modern Hero Spirit', but an 'Ancient Resource Point'! Don't tell me this Ancient Hero Spirit [Du Yu] used this line of thinking too?"

The simplest line of thinking is also the one that outsiders find most impossible!

The audience watching the live stream were discussing it fervently; some felt Chen Aoyun's words were too outrageous.

If the audience felt it was outrageous, Adar and the other [Strategist]s felt it was even more so.

Adar even pursed his lips in feigned anger, "Brother Chen, if you are unwilling to tell the truth, you don't have to say anything. Why lie to play with me? If this line of thinking holds, if you really summoned the Heroic Spirit Manifestation with this logic, then this [Du Yu] who was summoned would first need to be related to the word 'missile'? The problem lies right there. [Du Yu] is a Hero Spirit that you people of the Dragon Country summoned from an 'Ancient Resource Point'. How could an Ancient Hero Spirit possibly have any connection to an element like a 'missile'?"

Chen Aoyun raised an eyebrow, "Why couldn't he?"

"Didn't [Heroic Spirit Zhuge Liang] summon the modern wonder [Dongfeng-61] as an Ancient Hero Spirit before? If I use the same logic to summon an Ancient Hero Spirit in reverse using [Dongfeng-61], why can't you accept it? There is no essential difference between the two; it's the same routine!"

One trick works for everything!

That's what you say, but isn't your Dragon Country being able to summon the modern wonder [Dongfeng-61] with [Heroic Spirit Zhuge Liang] an isolated case, a coincidence? Isn't it because the 'East Wind' in [Borrowing the East Wind] happened to match the 'East Wind' in [Dongfeng-61]? Could it be that, besides [Heroic Spirit Zhuge Liang], this [Du Yu] is also a similar existence? He isn't the second Hero Spirit capable of 'Borrowing the East Wind', but he is the second existence capable of establishing a connection with modern weapons while being an Ancient Hero Spirit?

Adar put his doubts into words and asked Chen Aoyun again. Chen Aoyun finally revealed the final answer: "I will only say one sentence, and you will understand my logic! The Hero Spirit [Du Yu] has the title of 'Du's Armory'!"

Armory! So it was the logic behind the word 'Armory'!

Understood, now everyone understands!

Chen Aoyun didn't lie; [Du Yu] really has nothing to do with 'Borrowing the East Wind'. The reason he could be linked to [Dongfeng-61] and summoned in reverse is because of his title of 'Armory'!

What does the word Armory mean? Isn't it a storehouse for weapons!

By constructing the ability logic of the Hero Spirit [Du Yu] with the name 'Armory', [Du Yu] is equivalent to a 'walking armory', a 'mobile turret'!

Can [Dongfeng-61] exist in an armory? Of course it can! Since it can, doesn't [Du Yu] link up with the wonder [Dongfeng-61]?

Doesn't this logic hold up!

Awesome! Truly awesome! Huaxia's Hero Spirits have all kinds of people, it's awesome.

Chen Aoyun's line of thinking is unique; being able to piece together one person and one object that were originally unrelated is even more damn awesome!

Everything that needed explaining has been explained.

Since the manifestation of [Du Yu] has already been summoned in reverse, isn't it time for the 'bulk delivery' segment again?

Of course, from 'Borrowing the East Wind' to 'Armory', the logic has changed, and the same wonder cannot appear twice.

Sending out [Dongfeng-61] again is impossible.

Nor can other national heavy weapons like [Dongfeng-61] be sent out; national heavy weapons are all wonders, and [Du Yu] does not possess the 'power of wonders'.

But it doesn't matter; while national heavy weapons like [Dongfeng-61] cannot be used, ordinary weapons of the Huaxia Rocket Force from the Old Era can still be used!

You must know that ever since the humiliating century of the Old Era, the Dragon Country has suffered from 'insufficient firepower' phobia!

'When poor, use flanking maneuvers; when rich, use firepower coverage'!

The 'Armory' skill Chen Aoyun constructed for [Du Yu] uses the logic of 'firepower coverage'!

It's just a pity that Chen Aoyun thought a bit too beautifully.

[Dongfeng-61] is a wonder and also has the story of 'global coverage'. Only when the manifestation was [Heroic Spirit Zhuge Liang] could it strike all targets on the chessboard beyond visual range.

[Du Yu] cannot do that.

It's not that [Du Yu] is far inferior to [Heroic Spirit Zhuge Liang], but that the firepower poured out by [Du Yu] in the name of 'Armory' is not a wonder.

Therefore, it cannot be like last time where it could instantly kill [Roleplayer]s from other countries beyond visual range.

Unable to instantly kill [Roleplayer]s from other countries beyond visual range, the people from Russia and France were a bit disappointed.

Chen Aoyun said to the French [Strategist], "Although it wasn't like last time, you France just protected my Dragon Country's Zhao Hongxiu from being violated at the resource point. I won't forget this. Let's consider this France repaying half a favor to my Dragon Country!"

Just by speaking out to stop it, they got back half a favor; the French can consider it a profit.

As for Russia, Chen Aoyun didn't stand on ceremony with Russia's Toslev.

Intending to open up a diplomatic situation for the Dragon Country, Russia was a good breakthrough point, and being too polite with Toslev would instead create distance.

Act 3 continued.

Zhao Hongxiu, who possessed the manifestation of [Du Yu] which could not strike beyond visual range, was sent by Chen Aoyun to the edge of the fog to kill Calamity Demons and earn settlement points.

The Sakura people were not idle either; they also summoned their Sakura Country's Hero Spirit in reverse according to the rules.

And upon discovering that the combat power of the [Du Yu] manifestation seemed to be inferior to [Heroic Spirit Zhuge Liang], they even actively killed their way to the edge of the fog, delusional about killing Zhao Hongxiu who possessed the [Du Yu] manifestation.

The Sakura people thought too much.

The manifestation of [Du Yu] was simply not something the Sakura people's Hero Spirit manifestation could contend with!

The Sakura people also truly experienced what is called true firepower coverage!

Failing to kill the owner of the Sakura Country's manifestation with the 'Armory' skill's firepower coverage, Chen Aoyun, who aimed to take the top spot in the entire Game of National Destiny, did not let Zhao Hongxiu pursue.

Judging by the range of the unexplored fog map, there should be another map existence.

The Dragon Country killed the most Calamity Demons on the previous map, and maintained the advantage on this map.

Even if the rules of the next map are more unfavorable to the Dragon Country, the Dragon Country might still be able to get into the top three of this Act 3!

The battle with the Calamity Demons was without further waves.

When all the demons were slaughtered again, a breeze blew across the chessboard, scattering the fog in the final area.

The revelation of this new area was very different; there was not a single resource point on the entire new map!

"Not taking resource points?"

Chen Aoyun hated taking resource points the most. Seeing that the new area didn't look like it was going to have resource points, he hadn't even had time to be happy.

The new rule made Chen Aoyun dumbfounded again.

[Act 3 Rule 8: Existing Hero Spirit manifestation abilities will disappear and need to be re-unsealed from resource points using the correspondence principle. New resource points will not be generated automatically, but each country's Strategist will choose the type of resource point they need (resource points will no longer be distinguished by wonders)! Each Strategist can select a resource point type that cannot be the same as a previously appeared resource point type, and only one resource point can be determined. Each country's Roleplayer will be distributed in a circle at birth points; the selected resource points are all inside the circle and are the farthest from the home country's birth point.]

Seeing this rule, Chen Aoyun jumped and cursed.

"Again! And look at the details of this rule, it's so damn f***ed up! The resource point of the type I determine appears farthest from me! That means I have to match a corresponding resource point type for [Du Yu], and it will appear at the doorstep of another country's birth point. I have to cross the diameter of the circular area to get the resource point I determined. As for other countries' determined resource points appearing at my Dragon Country's doorstep... Resource points are all self-determined. I won't determine a resource point that another country's Hero Spirit can use, and other countries will definitely not determine a resource point that my Dragon Country can use! Difficult! This is really going to be difficult!"

Where there is sorrow, there is joy. Seeing this rule, the happiest person was naturally Sakura Country's Saku Kenichi.

And when things go wrong, it really leaves Chen Aoyun speechless.

After the rules appeared, the first thing was the determination of each country's random birth point.

Coincidentally, in the distribution of birth points in a circle, the country that corresponded to the farthest distance from the Dragon Country's birth point was not another country, but the Sakura Country that Chen Aoyun least wanted to see!

In other words, in a while, the resource point that Chen Aoyun determines and can be used to match the Hero Spirit [Du Yu] will undoubtedly refresh at the doorstep of the Sakura people's birth point!

And the resource point that appears at the Dragon Country's doorstep must be the Sakura Country's!

After the birth point locations were determined, Saku Kenichi, who could usually control his emotions well, couldn't keep his expression together when he saw that the Dragon Country and Sakura Country were at opposite points, and he laughed wildly.

"Your resource point is about to appear at my doorstep. Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to watch over this resource point of your family! I definitely won't let other countries snatch the resource point that belongs to your Dragon Country. You must send someone to occupy it! I see that this last map is huge, and the area with Calamity Demons is more than the previous two maps combined. If you can't get the power in the resource point and can't unseal the Heroic Spirit Manifestation, the advantage in the number of Calamity Demons killed that your Dragon Country established on the previous two maps will be gone. Let alone the first place in this act, even the top three will be hanging in the balance! Of course, rest assured. The resource point of my Sakura Country that appears at your Dragon Country's doorstep, I will definitely choose it with caution, caution, and more caution, and will never give you the chance to use my Sakura Country's resource point to activate the [Du Yu] manifestation! I can guarantee this!"

Why does it feel like after the Dragon Country activated the Heroic Spirit Manifestation twice, making Saku Kenichi's calculations and defenses fail twice, this guy started to feel a bit perverted to Chen Aoyun?

That's right, not just this act, not just this Game of National Destiny.

Every time he met Chen Aoyun, Saku Kenichi suffered losses. Adding it all up, this guy's mentality must have collapsed.

Seeing this, Chen Aoyun didn't doubt at all that the resource point Saku Kenichi determined for Sakura Country would definitely be a resource point that [Du Yu] could not match!

Even Saku Kenichi, whose mentality had already collapsed, didn't intend to fight for a ranking for Sakura Country in this Game of National Destiny.

Therefore, Saku Kenichi determining the resource point might not even be something Sakura Country itself can use!
