The year 2122.
April 8th.
Weather: Cloudy.
Haiting City.
"Mayor Li, how have you been?"
Irin looked at the city through the glass window. From time to time, thick smoke would rise. Looking at the tired Li Kai, he teased, "Today seems to be another peaceful day in Haiting City."
"President, don't make fun of me. Come, have some tea. "
Li Kai sat across from Irin.
The two were separated by a fine red sandalwood tea table.
In the exquisite porcelain teacup, the steaming black tea would ripple from time to time due to the explosions in the city.
"Do you need help?"
Irin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked.
"Not for now."
Li Kai waved his hand and rubbed his furrowed brows. He smiled, "The situation has basically stabilized. The occasional chaos won't affect the overall situation. "
"Oh, the overall situation? What is the overall situation? "
Irin raised his head and looked into Li Kai's eyes. The smile on his face disappeared as he asked very seriously.
Hearing this, Li Kai was slightly startled.
Then he seemed to understand what Irin meant. He smiled bitterly, "That can't be helped."
In front of Li Kai, Irin didn't put on the airs of a guild president.
Li Erpang was an old married otaku, so Yi Lin could be considered to be of the same generation as him.
No matter what, Li Kai was his elder.
Yi Lin was full of respect for Li Kai.
If he put on the airs of a guild president, wouldn't the seniority be messed up?
Unless, he and Li Erpang were on their own.
For example, you call me uncle, I call him brother, and so on.
"Mayor Li, please tell me about the current situation. Your intelligence network should be better than mine."
"You flatter me. It's just that the Li family members are more powerful."
Li Kai squinted his eyes and smiled brightly.
No one pointed out the fact that Li Kai had planted spies in the other forces.
Are they the only ones who know how to play?
Before Irin came to Haiting City, Li Kai had already guessed the purpose of Irin's rare visit and had already done his homework. As soon as the Irin spoke, Li Kai pressed a button under the table, and a light screen was projected on the wall in the distance. The map of Chidragon was clearly displayed on the screen.
"It's been more than a month since the version was updated. At present, a portion of the second-generation rookies quickly adapted to the new world. They took the initiative to enter the trial through the door, and quite a number of them survived. What's different from our generation is that the quality of this generation is uneven. Many people have passed the first trial, but their Attributes, mentality, and abilities are still far from our generation. If they want to catch up to us in a short time, they'll have to come across some amazing fortuitous encounter. "
"If I didn't guess wrongly, the next few trials will be the real process of washing away the sand with great waves. Those who did not dare to risk their lives might not step into the door for the rest of their lives and undergo further strengthening. This group of people accounted for at least 50% of the survivors. Heh, to put it bluntly, these people are not much different from ordinary people apart from having the identity of an apostle. "
Irin nodded and listened seriously without interrupting Li Kai. "Okay, continue."
Li Kai narrowed his eyes, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. "I've received news. During this period of time, there are a few movements worth paying attention to. "
"First, it's the former Z5 council."
Li Kai emphasized the word "used to", as if he was hinting that he had been removed from the "Z5 Council".
"That day, after the president killed Zhu Chongdi in the capital, the second son of the Zhu family, Zhu Mingzhi, used the fastest speed to control all the resources of the Zhu family. Recently, Zhu Mingzhi's strength seemed to have increased by leaps and bounds. He was ranked in the top 50 of the server and had the qualifications to create a guild. "
Irin recalled a guild in the top 10 of the server's guild rankings. Without hesitation, he said a name, "Brocade Pavilion?"
"That's right. Although Zhu Mingzhi's name did not appear on the rankings, behind Brocade Pavilion should be the Zhu family. "
"Heh, the Zhu family. It's just the lament of a defeated dog. "
Irin did not have a good impression of the Zhu family.
So what if he scolded them in front of Li Kai?
Zhu Chongdi was already dead. What could Zhu Mingzhi do to him?
Irin sneered. After drinking the black tea in his cup, he did not wait for Li Kai to make a move. The teapot floated in the air and tilted steadily, pouring black tea for the two of them. Irin was still sitting with his legs crossed and his hands crossed on his lap.
Li Kai knew that Irin was already a Transcendent, so he was not surprised by this. Of course, Irin had no intention of showing off his skills. Being awesome was just being awesome. There was nothing to show off. He was just used to not doing anything if he could, and used his psychokinesis in every aspect of his life. Otherwise, what was the point of him working so hard to become a Transcendent?
Li Kai said, "President, you're too kind." While happily drinking the tea that Irin had poured for him, Li Kai continued, "The current Zhu family is indeed nothing to be afraid of. However, a centipede dies but never falls down. Even though Zhu Chongdi has fallen … "
"You're not going to say that there are thousands of Zhu Chongdi, are you?" Irin interrupted with a smile, his tone relaxed.
"Not necessarily. However, President, you might not know, but I do know a little about Zhu Mingzhi. He is extremely patient and ruthless. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hide under Zhu Chongdi's light for so many years. He never attended any meetings, nor did he interfere with any of the Zhu family's affairs. He just stayed in the family as Zhu Chongdi's younger brother. However, after Zhu Chongdi's death, he was able to take control of the Zhu family in such a short time. This person is not simple. "
"Understood."
Irin did not take Li Kai's words as an alarmist.
Only a dead person could be absolutely safe.
In the circle of apostles, it was not impossible to become strong overnight. Even if one suddenly obtained an epic-level item or a super powerful skill, one's strength would skyrocket. Even though Irin said that he did not care about the Zhu family, he knew the foundation of these imperial families. The death of Zhu Chongdi would not cause them to fall completely.
Li Kai held a mini remote control in his hand and pressed it.
On the hologram map, the word "pig" appeared next to the capital's location.
Irin, "…?"
Li Kai squinted his eyes and smiled. "It's a typo. Don't mind such details."
"Oh."
That made sense.
"Even though the Zhu family has been in the capital for thousands of years, their family branches are spread out widely. In the northern region, there are many Zhu family businesses."
Dense red dots once again appeared on the map.
"Next is the Yu family."
Li Kai pressed the remote control, and the word "Yu" appeared beside the word "Zhu".
"After the version update, Yu Liexin created a guild called 'Scorching Sun Army'. In this guild, most of the core members are the elites of the Yu family. Many of them are experienced apostles. It is said that other than Yu Liexin, the highest level apostle is close to level six. Their strength is not to be underestimated. "
"Heh, level is not the only standard to measure strength."
"Of course, but the Yu family has a lot of experienced people." Li Kai's expression was a little helpless. He thought of the Li family's declining population and silently sighed for a few seconds. Then he continued, "But the biggest problem is not this."
The smile on Li Kai's face faded. He continued to press the remote control twice, and the words "Special Case Group" and "Zhao" appeared on the hologram map.
"After Mo Rendi … Ahem, anyway, after Mo Rendi left the Mystic Group, Zhao Yulong, who has a reputation and connections second only to Mo Rendi, immediately gathered the remaining people in the Mystic Group and formed the guild 'Mystic Group'. The guild leader is Zhao Taiqian. In other words, the Mystic Group has become the backyard of the Zhao family. "
"After that, Yu Meng took the initiative to leave the Mystic Group, perhaps to avoid suspicion or for other reasons. It is said that she now belongs to the Scorching Sun Army. Currently, the relationship between the Mystic Group and the Scorching Sun Army is unclear. It is very likely that they have secretly formed an alliance. "
"Be confident and remove the 'may'." Irin's expression was calm. "If I'm not mistaken, Yu Meng should have taken all the blame for betraying Mo Rendi on her own head. She took the initiative to leave the Mystic Group in order to calm the people. Mo Rendi had accumulated ten years of prestige in the Mystic Group. It is not something that Zhao Yulong can compare to. However, it is very likely that only those who participated in the Battle of Cangyang City knew about Yu Meng betraying Mo Rendi, so it was covered up in the end. "
"That should be it." Li Kai nodded in agreement with Irin's analysis. "But there is one thing that I think the chairman should be interested in."
"What is it?"
"Lu Hou, who was known as the 'strongest defense' in the Mystic Group, has left. His current whereabouts are unknown. "
"Oh?" When Yi Lin heard this, he sat up straight and became spirited. He smiled and said, "This is good news."
"You want to rope in Lu Hou?"
"Of course I want to, but I need an opportunity. There is no rush now." Irin waved his hand.
"Finally, there is Ying Family."
Li Kai did not dwell on the topic of Lu Hou for too long. "After that, Ying Xia created the 'Legend of Qin' guild. However, there is not much information about it. From the beginning, Ying Xia only trusted the direct bloodline. My people can't get in. "
In the individual strength rankings, Ying Xia's ranking was higher than Irin's.
Irin thought back to the battle in the capital where he faced the four emperors.
"Ying Xia is not a simple person."
"Oh?"
Irin crossed his fingers and the teapot automatically turned on. He closed his eyes and a thoughtful smile appeared on his lips. "I now suspect that Emperor Zhu's death has something to do with Ying Xia going easy on him that day."
"You mean …" Li Kai's pupils shrank. After all, he did not participate in the battle in the capital and did not know the specific situation.
"Just a suspicion. But now that the world has become like this, it is useless to say more. Forget it. "
Li Kai continued to point.
One by one, the factions appeared on the map.
"The current ranking of the top ten guilds is stabilizing. Before the chaotic situation is completely stabilized, we should pay attention to the other nine guilds. Among them, the Church of Dawn and the Evangelical Society are the most worthy to be wary of. The chaos in Haiting City this time should be driven by the Church of Dawn. Similar methods of stirring up the situation in other cities can be seen. "
Irin pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Only humans in chaos and despair will begin to rely on illusory beliefs to seek salvation. Whether it is famine or war, looking at history, it is generally so. "
"The president is right. For these troublemakers, the more chaotic the world is, the more they like it. I just don't understand the real purpose behind their actions. "
"Haha, I guessed correctly. After a while, we will know."
