Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 592 - 463: Apocalypse? _2

Li Zheng frowned slightly, not saying much, but instead looked at the others, wanting to hear their thoughts.

Seeing this, Ma Long also spoke up: "The Major just sent me to rally support, I don’t have the authority to make decisions. Mr. Li, you should coordinate with the Major. Sorry about that."

Liu Jiale looked at Xu Ying’s expression, equally troubled, and said, "Old Li, a small-scale fight, the brothers would definitely support you, but to take on the whole Creation Legion, it’s too extensive. Our Penglai is a small outfit, we want to help but it’s beyond us..."

The player named Louis, who had been following Joanna, then directly addressed Li Zheng: "Mr. Li, His Highness led us here to help as thanks for your previous assistance, but we are not prepared to start a war with a large legion. Please understand."

Louis’ overstepping remarks made Joanna’s face change slightly, but she did not argue, tacitly accepting his statement.

In the Matrix, starting wars between legions is definitely not an easy task.

It’s a severe test of each legion’s foundation. Just supplying the items needed for members to teleport puts considerable pressure on them.

If it were just small-scale teleports, they could manage, but a full-scale legion war with tens of thousands teleporting at once, the pressure would be too much.

Rebecca didn’t think that much, gave everyone a disdainful look, and patted her chest, saying to Li Zheng, "Sweetheart, although our White Bear Legion can’t fully participate, my brothers and I will fight for you without hesitation!"

"...Um, cough... can you not call me sweetheart?" Li Zheng looked at Rebecca, a bit embarrassed. Being called ’sweetheart’ as a grown man felt quite awkward.

"But I like you!" Rebecca’s eyes widened, showing unabashed admiration for Li Zheng.

"But I don’t feel anything for you..." Li Zheng squinted his eyes and said.

Honestly, with the beautiful women from the north, Rebecca’s looks by his standards were definitely not considered ugly.

However, Li Zheng thought Rebecca’s affection for him was more like a fan’s admiration for an idol, rather than romantic feelings.

Even if he was wrong, he didn’t feel anything for Rebecca, and her enthusiasm made him uncomfortable.

He’s not some celebrity who can feel at ease being admired by others.

Li Zheng felt he should make things clear sooner rather than later and was willing to put the matter with Creation aside for this.

"I don’t need you to feel anything for me. Just me liking you is enough." Rebecca blinked, seemingly feeling that her statement was self-evident.

What do you mean you liking me is enough?

Don’t you know, in Dragon Country, if you switch genders, this kind of thinking is known as being a ’simp’?

In the Mud Furnace, it could even be classified as a ’stalker’!

Li Zheng felt a headache, foreign views on love and marriage seemed a bit different from Dragon Country’s?

He used to watch American dramas and thought those single men and women going to parties and fooling around was just for plot exaggeration.

It seems, though not as straightforward as in TV shows, there are still differences from Dragon Country’s views.

Dragon Country people value mutual affection, and forced things are not sweet.

After all, unrequited love has no good end!

Li Zheng said helplessly, "What do you like about me? I’ll change, wouldn’t that work?"

Rebecca answered decisively, "I just like your excessive handsomeness!"

Whoa!

(O__O)

Li Zheng was speechless, how on earth was he supposed to change that?

"You’re too superficial, only seeing my appearance. It’s inevitable you’ll be tempted by someone more handsome in the future." Li Zheng wracked his brain for other excuses.

"Isn’t that obvious? Who doesn’t like handsome guys?" Rebecca said an eye-opening phrase that shocked Li Zheng’s worldview: "When I meet someone handsomer, of course, I won’t like you anymore."

Not only Li Zheng, but Ma Long and the others were also equally shocked, looking at Rebecca with disbelief.

Especially Joanna, also a woman, began to doubt her faithfulness to Liu Qi. Was it wrong?

If she was not wrong, why was Rebecca so confident when she said that?

Uncomprehensible!!!

Liu Jiale quietly asked Xu Ying, "Do you think like that too?"

Xu Ying felt a little guilty, "I... uh, I was initially attracted by looks, but loyal to character, it’s different from her!"

"Oh." Liu Jiale was satisfied, secretly glancing at Li Zheng, thinking, even if not as handsome as Li Zheng, at least his character was better!

Gosh...

Li Zheng rolled his eyes, so this is a face-judger, one whose views are influenced by appearances?

No need to worry then, perhaps tomorrow she’ll change her mind and like someone else.

Ignoring Rebecca, Li Zheng decided to let her be and said to the others, "Let’s continue the previous discussion. With none of the decision-makers from Nine Heavens or Kunlun present, I’ll be straightforward."

"What I mean is not to declare war on Creation with you, but to utilize your intelligence networks to ease the difficulties for what I plan to do next."

With this, Tang Qianzang immediately understood: "You want to carry out a decapitation plan against Creation, wiping out the entire high command in one go?"

Tang Qianzang, indeed the head of external affairs for the Nine Heavens Legion, thought quick on his feet—although he earlier misunderstood Li Zheng’s intentions, he got it right this time.

And he considered even more aspects.

Pressing a finger to his chin, he pondered for a moment and said, "Your plan certainly can destroy Creation in a short time. After all, as long as you get their coordinates, there’s no one you can’t eliminate."

"But have you considered, if you wipe out the high command of Creation, the lower-ranked members might be absorbed by the High Celestial Plain, indirectly helping the Mud Furnace players achieve unification?"

It takes some effort to tear apart a whole pancake, but with cracks, it’s easily split into two without effort.

Preventing an organization from being absorbed by another and united is why Kunlun and Nine Heavens haven’t taken action against High Celestial Plain and Creation.

"You just need to provide me with the coordinates of all the high command of Creation, I’ll handle the rest." Li Zheng didn’t say much, but he already had a plan in mind.

Liu Jiale was equally worried, "What if the high command of Creation, driven to desperation, attack the other Starting Point members? They’re still newbies, practically like defenseless infants in the eyes of Creation’s people."

"That’s another part of the plan." Li Zheng looked at everyone and said, "I hope each of you can accept some Starting Point members within your own legions’ territories, and provide shelter for them when necessary."

"This matter, Kunlun alone can handle, no need to trouble so many people."

Suddenly, Liu Qisha’s voice came from nearby, and everyone turned to see Liu Qisha with his adjutant, walking out from among the Kunlun warriors.

Li Zheng glanced at Ma Long, noticing no surprise on his face; apparently, he wasn’t surprised by Liu Qisha’s appearance.

He was thoughtful, could it be this guy was here from the start but hid among Kunlun’s people, so he didn’t notice?

"Qisha!"

Joanna joyfully went over, taking Liu Qisha’s arm, instantly transforming from the leader of the Round Table Knight Order into a little wife.

Louis looked on with a sullen face.

Liu Qisha patted Joanna’s arm and, with his adjutant, passed by Louis and other Round Table Knight Order members without even a glance, not seeming to care about them.

Such behavior was unusual, drawing Li Zheng’s attention.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Qisha shouldn’t show such indifference to the Round Table Knight Order members who were under Joanna’s command.

Could there have been an incident when Joanna took over the Round Table Knight Order?

Without letting Li Zheng ponder much, Liu Qisha approached and said, "Whether it’s providing intelligence or offering territory to Starting Point Legion members, Kunlun alone can handle it, no need to involve others."

Tang Qianzang squinted at Liu Qisha, lightly narrowing his eyes.

"Since Lieutenant Liu personally spoke, we Nine Heavens are naturally more than happy to have it easier."

"However..."

His gaze flicked back and forth between Joanna and Liu Qisha, then addressed the adjutant, "As the leader pushed out by Kunlun, is Lieutenant Liu walking so closely with Princess Joanna of the Round Table Knight Order really okay?"
