Hua Tianchen had not closed his eyes for a whole day and night. At this moment, he was watching a video from Genesis Corporation together with his comrade Tian Feng.
"Critical hit?", Hua Tianchen narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's his critical hit multiplier?"
Tian Feng picked up a stack of documents and handed them over, "This was sent by Old Wei. This kid is from District 18."
Unfortunately, Jiang Kai's information was very limited, especially regarding his profession, which was still blank at the moment.
"Broke a 50-year record in the Huaxia Newcomer Trial, killed four members of the Black Tortoise Falcon Five Team as a Tier 1 profession, assisted Black Tortoise in killing a King-tier Boss, discovered a Boss secret treasure, sold goods worth over 2.5 billion Huaxia credits in personal trading space within three months, champion of Jiangzhong City's 36th Tier 2 team tournament… This plan was made just four months after completing the Newcomer Trial?", Hua Tianchen's brows furrowed even tighter.
Tian Feng said, "Yes. Also, Old Wei said this kid likely led a team to kill smugglers during the Newcomer Trial."
Hua Tianchen looked at Tian Feng, "He formed a team during the Newcomer Trial? And killed smugglers? Then, who were his teammates?"
"During the Newcomer Trial, his teammates were Yuan Zhu and Su Nuannuan."
Hua Tianchen suddenly understood, "No wonder he wants to rescue Yuan Zhu and Nuannuan! This kid… has some guts!"
Tian Feng continued, "After the Newcomer Trial, Yuan Zhu and Nuannuan joined the military. Everything else he did was with two others—one was a drunkard, the other a feng shui master."
Hearing this, Hua Tianchen's eyes nearly popped out, "A drunkard? A feng shui master?"
Tian Feng nodded, "Yeah, people in District 18 say… after following him, that drunkard and feng shui master both became incredibly strong."
Hua Tianchen looked incredulous, "Old Tian, you and I have been on Ghost Star for so long. We've seen at least tens of thousands of drunkards and feng shui masters, right? And now you're telling me they're strong?"
Tian Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I haven't seen them personally, but Old Wei said the feng shui master used a single 'Rain Prayer' skill multiple times to turn the tide of battle. As for the drunkard, they say he chased and beat up martial artists stronger than him."
Hua Tianchen widened his eyes even more, "Is that… even real?"
"Do you still doubt Old Wei? Besides, over in District 18's black market, the materials for the feng shui master class have skyrocketed to 10 million. And the drunkard's class materials? Even crazier! From being completely ignored, they've now been bid up to 3 million, and there's still no stock! Even Old Wei and his team are hoarding them. Across 23 city trading centers, you can barely find any drunkard class materials."
Hua Tianchen frowned, rubbing his chin with his right hand, "That insane? I've been on Ghost Star for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've seen something like this… Old Tian, once this is over, we need to meet them."
"By the way, is it confirmed which country betrayed us?"
"Confirmed. It's Country H. During Operation Dawn, they used an excuse to withdraw from the attack plan. Today, three of their teams have already entered the public area."
Hua Tianchen nodded, his gaze returning to the video, "Didn't expect such a reckless kid to open up the battlefield for us! Unfortunately, no matter how strong Jiang Kai is, he's still outnumbered! Old Tian, the conditions for Plan B have been met. Contact the other nations immediately and activate Operation Dawn Plan B!"
Tian Feng frowned slightly, "Plan B is no small matter. Should we double-check to see if there's another Country H among us?"
Hua Tianchen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "There's no time. We've already discovered 74 nations connected to the teleportation gates. As for another Country H… there might be more…"
"But Jiang Kai has created this opportunity for us, and we must seize it."
Tian Feng nodded, "Understood!"
With that, he immediately stood up and left the conference room.
———
The War God Temple's offline center in Country B received a call from Huaxia.
"You've seen the video, right? The defenses at Point A's teleportation array have temporarily collapsed. The conditions are met—initiate Plan B immediately."
Country C received an urgent notification.
"Begin Plan B immediately! This is our last chance. Go all out!"
Country E.
"Operation Dawn Plan B activated. Deploy all forces to seize the public area!"
———
Yuan Zhu and Nuannuan were tied up tightly and hung from a large tree. Their wounds had been crudely treated—not enough to be fatal but still bleeding continuously.
Both of them were already on the verge of unconsciousness.
"Zhuzi, wake up…", Nuannuan weakly called out.
Yuan Zhu barely opened his eyes and looked at Nuannuan, "Nuannuan… I… my whole body hurts. Are we going to die? I… I'm a little… scared…"
Nuannuan didn't know how to comfort Yuan Zhu. She saw a hidden video device in the grass and clenched her teeth, "Zhuzi, many people are watching us. We can't disgrace Huaxia's soldiers!"
"Zhuzi, you are the world's number one war god!"
"I'm not… They just want to watch us die!", A dark haze clouded Yuan Zhu's eyes, "I saw the captain, Brother Chen, and Sister Hua get slaughtered. I saw that psychopath crush Wang Gang and Captain Zhu's heads. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere… He's a monster that can't be killed!"
"Nuannuan, I… I couldn't protect you. I'm so scared…"
Nuannuan felt just like Yuan Zhu. She had also watched their comrades die. As a doctor, she was utterly powerless to help, making her sorrow even heavier than Yuan Zhu's.
At this moment, in her hazy consciousness, Nuannuan seemed to see flashes of the past.
During the Newcomer Trial, they had faced countless desperate situations, yet they had survived and created miracles.
She remembered how that guy always cared about how much money their loot could sell for. His profession—only she and Zhuzi knew about it.
He had said before that both she and Zhuzi were friends he could trust.
She really missed that time…
Just then, a bucket of cold water was thrown onto them, drenching their faces.
"Don't sleep! Stay awake! You dying too soon would ruin the fun!", A burly, hairy man laughed loudly.
Then, he stabbed Yuan Zhu several times with his dagger.
Yuan Zhu endured the pain, but his eyes filled with tears.
"Sissy, hahaha! If you wanna cry, just cry! Let everyone see how tough Huaxia soldiers really are!"
The freezing water jolted Su Nuannuan awake.
She shook off the water from her face, droplets falling from her thick eyelashes. Her vision blurred, as if looking out from behind a waterfall.
Then, in the distance, a lone figure approached.
Dressed in all black, around 1.8 meters tall, with neat black hair and icy eyes.
Strangely, there was a glowing halo above his head, making him look somewhat odd.
Nuannuan quickly blinked to clear her vision.
Upon closer look, the man's face became clearer… and so did the glowing halo.
'Am I hallucinating? Jiang… Kai? A… archangel?'
At the same time, the entire camp erupted into commotion.
Someone shouted, "Hey! Which alliance are you from? You there! Identify yourself immediately and stop approaching!"
"Asians? Anyone recognize him? Is that Huaxia or Island Nation on his chest?"
Just then, the man suddenly threw out several throwing knives. The two guards who had just issued the warning were instantly killed.
Everyone realized what was happening.
"SOMEONE'S HERE TO RESCUE THE HOSTAGES!", The moment the shout rang out, five black shadows shot through the air. Five daggers pierced into the speaker's body.
Not far away, the Huaxia man raised his hand, and the five daggers flew back into his grasp.
Jiang Kai's bloodshot eyes locked onto Yuan Zhu and Su Nuannuan, who were covered in wounds.
Taking a deep breath, he softly said, "Zhuzi, Nuannuan, I'm late."
"Sorry, but you'll have to hang in there a bit longer."
Then, he turned his gaze toward the rapidly assembling alliance forces. His expression turned ice-cold.
And then, he roared at the camp—
"COME AT ME, ALL OF YOU!"
