86: Chapter 86 is obscure enough, but deadly enough!

Lv13 to Lv18 is high-tier.

Must they take first place so that that Lv13 Roleplayer from Sakura Country doesn't drop a tier?

Hearing this, Chen Aoyun's desire to take first place intensified even more.

"In a Game of National Destiny, 50% of the slots are mandatory, and 50% are voluntary."

"No wonder Sakura Country managed to break into the top three among a crowd of powerful nations that signed up voluntarily; it turns out they were stubborn enough to send a Lv13 Roleplayer."

"I was wondering why, in this final chapter stage, everyone has at most four Roleplayer chess pieces available, yet Sakura Country dared to divert one piece to cause us trouble while competing for resources with Ottoman."

"So that's why; Sakura Country has a Lv13 Roleplayer holding the line against Ottoman."

Chen Aoyun's curiosity regarding the leveling system grew stronger, and he pressed further,

"Are there many such high-tier Roleplayers?

As long as you don't die in the Game of National Destiny, you get experience after it ends, and the higher the rank, the more experience you get. If we can take first place this time, how many levels can you go up? And how many can I go up?"

Zhao Hongxiu answered the two questions separately.

"For a powerhouse in the Game of National Destiny like Sakura Country, there are only a dozen or so high-tier Roleplayers, and even fewer high-tier Strategists—maybe single digits."

"Other similar powerhouses like USA, Russia, Britain... they are about the same; there aren't too many high-tier ones."

"There might be more mid-tier ones."

"As for the leveling up you mentioned, the experience for the top three is very high, especially for first place."

"If we can take first place, I can at least reach the fifth rank."

"And you can reach the fourth rank!"

"Only fourth rank..." Chen Aoyun was a little unsatisfied. The level disadvantage in this Game of National Destiny had really screwed him over.

Zhao Hongxiu understood Chen Aoyun's tone and retorted sharply,

"I've been studying knowledge of the Game of National Destiny since I was a child, participated in it so many times, and almost got erased by the rules a few times due to my ranking, yet I'm only at the third rank. You're already doing great by reaching the fourth rank in your first participation."

The subtext was: Be content, you guy!

Chen Aoyun still wanted to continue asking about other details related to ranks.

Suddenly, the air around him, as a Strategist, trembled—it was the sign that Divine Judgment was activating.

...However, after Chen Aoyun waited for a moment, he was not pulled into the space of the 'Land of Judgment'.

But in his field of vision, a miniature version of The Scales appeared.

"Judgment has come after all, but it's a simplified version."

Because Zhao Hongxiu was a beneficiary of the Prophecy, just like before, she could participate when Judgment occurred, and she also saw a miniature version of The Scales in her eyes.

Zhao Hongxiu's words surprised Chen Aoyun; does Divine Judgment also have a simplified version?

(Will of National Destiny: Of course there's a simplified version; otherwise, with so many details in every Judgment, are you just padding the word count?)

The content of Sakura Country's Judgment was simple, and it was also what Chen Aoyun was expecting:

"Why can the Prophecy persist for so long when Dragon Country only obtained one 'Text Resource Point'?"

Facing the Judgment, Chen Aoyun used his old method: you question one point, I answer with one point of logic.

The main point is that Sakura Country has to keep using national destiny to place weight markers.

After both sides placed their weight markers, Chen Aoyun explained the logic of "Li and Du's writings remain, their brilliance shining for ten thousand zhang" thoroughly. After he rendered the Sakura people speechless and they seemed to be on the verge of losing again, the Strategist who initiated the Judgment, Saku Kenichi, began to daze and did not continue to place weight markers.

At this moment, calculating it, if the Sakura people stopped and ended the Judgment, Dragon Country would get another half-hu of national destiny!

The half-hu of national destiny is not the point.

The point is, this was already Sakura Country's second failed Judgment after the reset of Divine Judgment.

There was one left, and Chen Aoyun was certain that Sakura Country wouldn't dare to use it lightly for the last time.

As long as Sakura Country didn't dare to use it lightly, then Chen Aoyun's opportunity would come!

Zhao Yun's "Seven In, Seven Out" was exhausted.

Wen Yang's "Seven In, Seven Out" was also exhausted.

There were three days left until the resource-grabbing time of the final chapter ended.

For these three days, Chen Aoyun planned to let Zhao Hongxiu be more aggressive and venture deeper into the central area of the chessboard.

He wasn't afraid of encountering Ottoman; Chen Aoyun had previously made an agreement with Ottoman's Strategist that if they saw each other's chess pieces, they would just stay away, and the other side wouldn't pursue.

It was also easy if he encountered Sakura Country's chess pieces; Zhao Yun was gone, and Wen Yang's dharma image had also disappeared, but wasn't there still Liu Shan?

Using the Liu Shan entry as a joke to drive "Seven In, Seven Out", let's see if Sakura Country dares to initiate Judgment again.

Even if they lose the Judgment, it doesn't matter. The rollback of the Judgment will only go back to the moment the Liu Shan dharma image appeared and drove "Seven In, Seven Out", and it won't go back to Wen Yang. As long as Zhao Hongxiu brings the identity resources she has already obtained back to the Home Base a few more times, she won't be afraid of being judged.

Moreover, besides Liu Shan, Chen Aoyun had another person in mind!

Meng Huo!

A joke from the old era:

Who are the people who did "Seven In, Seven Out"?

Zhao Yun, Liu Shan, and also Meng Huo.

The image of the hero Meng Huo is very special; at a glance, it's not the same art style as Liu Shan.

Using Meng Huo to drive "Seven In, Seven Out" for the third time, I fear that once the Sakura Country people see at a glance that it's not Liu Shan, they won't dare to judge, thinking it's another trick of Wen Yang. Even if the possibility is small, Sakura Country probably won't dare to gamble!

This is the difficult problem that Sakura Country has to face after two consecutive failed Judgments, and it is also the trap Chen Aoyun had planned long ago.

He felt wonderful inside.

Just when Chen Aoyun thought The Scales in his eyes were about to disappear and this second Judgment after the reset was about to end.

Suddenly.

The Sakura people placed a weight marker on The Scales once again!

And this time, although the weight marker was still questioning the Prophecy "Li and Du's writings remain, their brilliance shining for ten thousand zhang", it was not about the content and logic of the Prophecy.

It was about the word count!

Why is it that for similar resource points, where the 'power of text' in the resource points is the same, your Dragon Country has ten characters, while Sakura Country only has eight?

Sakura Country uses eight characters in the Sakura language.

Even if the British came, it would only be nine words when written in english.

Only your Dragon Country's Chinese characters are ten!

Where is the logic?

Where is the reasoning?

Are your Dragon Country characters more high-class than other languages or what?

They are even higher in count than the known, most common english of the old era!

Challenge!

Seeing the content of Sakura Country's Judgment, Chen Aoyun was stunned at first, then frowned.

"Sakura Country also has talented people!

This is pulling the firewood from under the cauldron!

Not questioning the allusion and logic of "Li and Du's writings remain, their brilliance shining for ten thousand zhang" itself, but questioning the word count.

If the ten-character poem is successfully judged and Dragon Country is forced to change it to eight characters like the Sakura language, then the poem itself will be incomplete!

The logic and effect of the entire poem will collapse completely!

This move by Sakura Country is obscure enough, but also fatal enough!"
