95: Chapter 95: Even fairy tales wouldn't dare write something like this!

The light of 'Transcendental Enhancement' shone above Sakura Country's [Heroic Spirit]. The massive enhancement of up to thirty stars seemed suffocating.

Under the Sakura Country's scheme, the Dragon Kingdom and Ottoman's previous efforts in scrambling for resources, as well as their initial alliance strategy, looked like a joke at this moment.

“The skill of the Sakura Country's Strategist:

[After obtaining a rule that no one else has discovered, conceal this rule (can only be used on hidden rules with capital letters / can only be used once per Game of National Destiny)]”

This is not a rare [Strategist] ability.

But such a simple and very common [Strategist] ability had toyed with the Ottomans and the Dragon Kingdom's people time and again.

Especially the Ottomans.

The Sakura Country had a Lv13 [Roleplayer] on the field. Although this Roleplayer was high-level and powerful, they shouldn't have been able to completely dominate the situation in the resource extraction phase.

Because Ottoman also had a high-level [Roleplayer], a Lv12 [Roleplayer]!

Moreover, the Dragon Kingdom had pinned down one of Sakura Country's chess pieces for a long time.

For a long time, Ottoman faced Sakura Country's three chess pieces with four of their own, giving them a chance to gain a local advantage in a head-on clash with Sakura Country.

But the Ottomans were too cautious and didn't really believe in the strength of their ally, the Dragon Kingdom. Believing that the Dragon Kingdom couldn't pin down that Sakura Country chess piece for long, they acted timidly everywhere on the board, avoiding Sakura Country's sharp edge.

I know what that Ottoman [Strategist] was thinking.

He was afraid of losing to Sakura Country, and even more afraid that if they fought too hard, the Dragon Kingdom would reap the benefits.

Therefore, the Ottoman [Strategist] chose what seemed to be the safest way:

Letting Sakura Country seize resources, keeping a low profile, and taking advantage of the gaps when Sakura Country was busy grabbing resources to secure a moderate amount for themselves.

With this play, Ottoman's own seized resources would be slightly less than Sakura Country's, but not by too much.

In the end, as long as he transferred the Dragon Kingdom's resources to himself, Ottoman would be the nation with the most 'Transcendental Buffs'!

There were many benefits to doing this.

By utilizing his [Transfer Enhancement] ability, he could potentially combine the Dragon Kingdom's resources to push for first place, without worrying about fighting too hard with Sakura Country and ending up with fewer buffs than the Dragon Kingdom, which would benefit them.

He even took into account the probability that the Dragon Kingdom might end up empty-handed. Even if the Dragon Kingdom got nothing during the resource extraction phase and couldn't transfer a single star of enhancement, Ottoman would still be guaranteed second place.

He really exhausted every calculation!

Unfortunately, the rule concealed by Sakura Country was too critical!

It made all of Ottoman's meticulous calculations a joke...”

Why the Ottomans agreed to ally with the Dragon Kingdom, and why they didn't fight to the death with Sakura Country after allying.

This kind of sophisticated egoistic behavior pattern of the Ottoman [Strategist], which is common in the Game of National Destiny, was thoroughly exposed by the two professional commentators in the livestream room.

Exposure aside, the Game of National Destiny is a battlefield. There was nothing wrong with the Ottomans choosing to do this to maximize their country's benefits and minimize risks.

It just made things incredibly hard for the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

The Dragon Kingdom's people used [Seven In, Seven Out], then [Inventory of Characters], but after all that maneuvering, what could they do if their ally was useless?

“It seems that after suffering a few losses, Sakura Country really hates the Dragon Kingdom's people to the bone.

Leaving the blank-slate Sultan alone instead of killing him, just waiting for the Dragon Kingdom's Emperor to take the field.

Sakura Country is determined to eliminate the Dragon Kingdom first in this phase!”

Commentator York felt sorry for the Dragon Kingdom, while also not quite understanding Chen Aoyun on the field at this moment.

“The defeat is sealed. What is the Dragon Kingdom's [Strategist] still lingering around for?”

A 30-star 'Transcendental Buff' against 5 stars.

On the arena, Chen Aoyun neither conceded defeat nor sent the Heroic Spirit behind him to fight to the death.

Instead, he stood in place, messing with those useless identity cards in his hand.

The gray [Vendor] card, thrown away.

The gray [Night Watchman] card, thrown away.

The bronze [Craftsman] card, thrown away.

The bronze [Scholar] card, thrown away.

...

One by one, identity cards that other countries' [Strategists] wouldn't even spare a glance at were discarded by Chen Aoyun.

They should have been thrown away long ago; in fact, these cards shouldn't have been collected in the first place.

Not only were these cards useless to other countries' [Heroic Spirits], but even the Dragon Kingdom's own [Heroic Spirit] couldn't use them.

The number of cards in Chen Aoyun's hand was rapidly decreasing.

Just when everyone thought Chen Aoyun was about to lose the match and was going mad because of it,

Chen Aoyun's movements suddenly stopped!

Instead of discarding these seemingly useless gray cards, he sorted them into several different piles...

Chen Aoyun suddenly raised them high above his head!

“Is he... trying to activate the 'Transcendental Power' within the cards?

He must be crazy to want to win so badly!

Only identity cards connected to the [Heroic Spirit] can activate the power within them.

[Monk]?

[Herdsman]?

...Uh, there's even [Beggar]!

How could an emperor-type [Heroic Spirit] be associated with these identities?”

[Monk] and [Herdsman] were already ridiculous enough, but Chen Aoyun actually had [Beggar] cards in his highly raised hands?!

A Beggar and an emperor—how insane would one have to be to think there is a connection between the two?

Stupefaction.

Incomprehension.

Jeering.

Bullet comments of various tones rapidly flooded the live broadcast screen.

“He's gone mad, completely mad. How did the Dragon Kingdom's [Strategist] go crazy?

Even if you get eliminated by Sakura Country in the next moment, you've still made history for the Dragon Kingdom by squeezing into the top three.

Is his psychological resilience really that poor?”

Chen Aoyun's psychological resilience was poor?

Soon, the ones with poor psychological resilience would be those making sarcastic remarks!

In Chen Aoyun's highly raised cards, a dim light of rules began to flicker.

One card... two cards...

The faint glimmer of the rules was still inconspicuous.

A dozen cards... dozens of cards...

The cards in Chen Aoyun's hand grew brighter and brighter.

A hundred cards... two hundred cards...

They were all 'low-quality' cards. When only one or two were activated, nothing much could be seen.

But when all two hundred and forty cards in Chen Aoyun's hand flickered with light,

the cards in Chen Aoyun's hand were already dazzling enough!

[Monk] cards, 35 cards, bronze quality, every eight cards gathered provides one point of 'Transcendental Buff', providing a total of +4 stars buff;

[Herdsman] cards, 88 cards, gray quality, every twelve cards gathered provides one point of 'Transcendental Buff', providing a total of +7 stars buff;

[Beggar] cards, 90 cards, gray quality, every twelve cards gathered provides one point of 'Transcendental Buff', providing a total of +7 stars buff;

A total of +18 stars of Transcendental Buff!

Counting the previous +7 stars buff from [Farmer], the Dragon Kingdom side now had a 25-star Transcendental Buff!

Holding these cards high, as streams of Transcendental Buff power surged into the body of the Heroic Spirit [Zhu Yuanzhang], Chen Aoyun said in a loud voice,

“From a 'cowherd boy' to a 'Farmer', a 'Beggar', a 'monk', and finally becoming an emperor who founded a great dynasty.

The achievement of [Starting with a Bowl, Ending with an Empire].

Let alone in Huaxia's history, even in the history of the entire world, my Huaxia Heroic Spirit [Zhu Yuanzhang] is one of a kind!

And these identities are not fabricated by me, but are real history!

Clad in commoner's clothes and straw sandals, he dared to seize the golden throne!

Did you really think that [Zhu Yuanzhang] is simply a 'Commoner Emperor' and only has the gray [Farmer] available?!”

A confident tone, an air of 'who else but me'.

Whenever Huaxia Civilization was mentioned, Chen Aoyun always had this arrogant tone!

With brief words and a tone akin to a global announcement, Chen Aoyun arrogantly dealt with 'The Scales' that appeared before his eyes, once again winning a Judgment against Sakura Country's [Strategist]!

At the same time, he answered everyone's questions.

'Cowherd boy' corresponds to [Herdsman];

'Monk' corresponds to [Monk];

'Beggar' is [Beggar]. The Heroic Spirit [Zhu Yuanzhang], an emperor, the emperor of an orthodox great dynasty, actually used to be a Beggar!

You think it's ridiculous and therefore launch a Judgment? Useless!

All of these identity cards can buff the Heroic Spirit [Zhu Yuanzhang].

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it!!!

Dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded. This time, the ones going crazy were the audience in front of the screens.

If the appearance of [Elder Yuan] shocked the world's understanding of Huaxia Civilization;

the appearance of the '12 coefficient' of the chinese characters overturned the world's perception of Huaxia Civilization;

then the pairing of 'Beggar' and 'emperor' truly made the world realize that Huaxia Civilization is very different from other civilizations—it is a unique civilization!

In other civilizations, especially Western civilization, a 'Commoner Emperor' couldn't possibly appear.

A Beggar becoming an emperor?

Even fairy tales wouldn't dare write it this way!
