542: Chapter 590 Forced to Play the Fool to Deceive the Tiger?
Facing the gazes in the meeting room, General Fama shrugged.
"To be honest, we don't know the specifics either."
The Azure Noble snorted coldly: "Still speaking in riddles at a time like this?"
"Who asked you to interrupt when I'm talking?" General Fama's aura flared.
At the head of the table, the Canghai Noble coughed dryly: "Fama, even though all your resources are wagered against the Azure Noble, if you damage the meeting room, you'll still need to compensate us with resources.
As for how you'll pay, that's not just our concern."
Upon hearing this, General Fama had no choice but to rein in his aura that was about to erupt.
He certainly didn't want to be saddled with debt later.
At that moment, a noble dressed in red robes, with various red cords hanging down, spoke.
His name was Red Cord.
"Fama, Tike... stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly."
"Right now, we can't interfere with the game, we're essentially outsiders. Telling us shouldn't matter, right?"
The Noble Tik shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not that we won't tell you, it's that we ourselves don't understand An Ke's situation either."
"The only thing we know for sure is that the 【Game】 cannot detect any of An Ke's attributes."
Since the nobles wore masks, their expressions couldn't be seen.
But even so, one could sense their astonishment beneath those masks.
"The 【Game】 can't detect any of An Ke's attributes? Are you joking?"
"Exactly! The 【Game】 is a higher-level existence than us. Even we can't interfere with the 【Game】 much.
An Ke is just a low-sequence creature who just entered the Elimination Round. How could he possibly interfere with the 【Game】's detection?"
Tike chuckled lightly: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
"After all, the 【Game】 is now completely shielding detection. You can't even try to probe An Ke yourselves."
"All I can say is that Fama, Dai Ni Ke, and I tried to probe him before and failed."
"Not only that, our attempts to predict An Ke's actions also failed."
The emotions of the surrounding nobles fluctuated again, a change even No. 1379 and the Chief Steward could clearly feel.
It was no wonder they reacted so strongly.
To these nobles, humans were mere insects.
Could an insect possibly make itself undetectable to them? Was that reasonable?
Obviously not.
Now the nobles finally understood why Tike, Fama, and the others had chosen An Ke as their seedling player.
Who would have thought An Ke was so special?
"Now that An Ke can easily crush C-ranked Mercury State Race members, his strength rating must be at least A."
"No! This is absolute dominance, and An Ke alone possesses this overwhelming power. I'm afraid his current strength rating is around S-rank."
"Hah! So that's why Fama and the others chose a player from an F-level civilization before."
"Turns out it's because this player is so unusual!"
General Fama grinned: "Everyone, we've become God-level Civilizations. Do you really think we're fools?"
"Qingtian, Yishu, you're definitely going to lose."
The expressions of the Yishu and Qingtian nobles were utterly grim.
They thought they could pick up a bargain, but instead of gaining an advantage, they ended up getting scammed.
Who could have imagined that An Ke could interfere with the 【Game】's detection, causing the 【Game】 to give Blue Star an F-level rating?
It's just absurd!
Even their God-level Civilizations couldn't completely block the 【Game】's detection.
The key point is that An Ke's strength isn't F-level; it might even have reached S-rank.
Isn't this the real-life version of 'playing the pig to eat the tiger'?
And he was forced into it, so you can't even blame him.
You can only admit you were unlucky and didn't see through it.
Forty percent of their resources!!
The Yishu and Qingtian nobles felt bitter inside.
At their level, resources equaled strength.
Losing resources meant a decline in power.
After all, what good is a civilization's high technological level without any resources?
Wouldn't they be reduced to the most primitive methods like drilling wood for fire?
No! Without any resources, they couldn't even manage to drill wood for fire.
And now, Fama and Azure were engaged in such a high-stakes gamble.
"Azure, scared?" General Fama looked at Azure sitting nearby.
"If you're scared, you can surrender. I can be merciful and return half your resources."
The Azure Noble also felt as miserable as if he'd eaten something disgusting.
He thought he could easily win this match.
Who knew the other side wasn't a soft target at all...
But so what?
"Fama, are you joking?"
"Who loses and who wins is still undecided, and you want me to surrender?"
"An Ke's strength, at the very most, is S-rank. The Metal Race I've chosen is also S-rank, and they are a group of players."
"Haven't you heard the saying 'one fist is no match for four hands'?"
General Fama chuckled softly: "Fine, I gave you a chance."
"Azure, don't regret it later."
Azure snorted coldly and ignored Fama.
He looked at the live broadcast, watching An Ke.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.
If he lost and gave all his resources to Fama, he would be finished.
He would become another noble who died after billions of years...
If it really came to that, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
Forcibly breaking into the 【Game】 would only cost seventy to eighty percent...
...
The real world, the live broadcast room.
"Boss An is truly like a demon lord descending from heaven, a god of calamity on earth!!"
"So awesome! One punch per little buddy!"
"Boss An is the One-Punch Man!!"
"He really is like One-Punch Man, but Boss An better not go bald."
"..."
Throughout Dragon Country, watching An Ke hunt the Mercury State Race players filled everyone with boiling Passion.
The Foreigners were not to be outdone, cheering "wow wow wow" for An Ke, rooting and cheering him on.
In contrast, the faces of those alien civilization players were now filled with shock.
"Is this guy really a player from the Blue Star Civilization?"
"If I didn't know better, I'd think he was an S-rank player."
"Could it be that F-rank is actually the strongest level?"
Audiences from civilizations rated only B or C quickly contacted their higher-ups.
Urging them to send bullet comments immediately to warn their players not to provoke An Ke.
This wasn't about provoking An Ke; it was about delivering themselves as kills.
Civilizations below A-rank hardly had the qualification to face An Ke.
Anyone who encountered him would only meet death.
Even audiences from A-rank civilizations watched with immense pressure.
Not only was An Ke incredibly strong, but he also had such endurance.
Could his stamina be endless?
If it were their players, they'd probably be panting heavily by now.
But at this moment, the most despairing were the audiences from the Mercury State Race civilization...
