But first, let's not mention Li Zheng's prowess outside the Lava Mountain Range. Just the innocent players who were killed and seized the opportunity to denounce him would be a heavy blow to the reputation of the Starting Point.
"No wonder!"
Xiao Siyuan nodded understandingly, "No wonder you initially came up with the rule of charging entry fees. So your real purpose wasn't to earn that bit of money, but simply to ensure the safety of the venue?"
"Sigh..."
Li Zheng pretended to sigh, speaking with feigned regret, "Old Xiao, you've finally grown up and can see through my scheme!"
"You smug little brat."
Xiao Siyuan rolled his eyes and ignored Li Zheng's smug expression, then reminded him, "Although your trick can cover things up for a while, over time, there's still a risk of exposure."
"Why don't we unite Kunlun and Nine Heavens? With the help of both, it should be much more stable, right?"
Stable?
Indeed, very stable.
With those two helping, just the sheer number of personnel would make it hard for outsiders to find out who is actually holding the stuff by hiding it on someone.
In fact, the manpower from those two alone could guard four venues, not letting any players cross the line.
Moreover, Kunlun has the powerful backup of the Round Table Knight Order?
But would they help for free?
Li Zheng felt that it was unlikely.
People are selfish, and the Boss creatures' attributes exceed many people's expectations. Even Liu Qi, who gives more attention to Li Zheng and the Starting Point, wouldn't be directly told all that information by him.
Moreover, the more people involved, the more likely problems will arise.
If Li Zheng chooses to cooperate with them, Kunlun and Nine Heavens might even join forces to seize the gains from four of the venues!
More ruthless, it could be five.
And Li Zheng's current approach is to tightly control one venue, especially the most complex terrain of the Endless Ocean, ensuring he has a stable income.
The rest, he and Zhan Zhouzhou act separately, so that even when the players reach the final chaos, they can ensure to grab two more!
No matter what, Li Zheng now would not lose compared to cooperating with others.
He might even gain more.
Of course, this is just his current plan.
It's still unknown whether Boss creatures will continue to appear in the six venues.
If more stronger Bosses appear, even Li Zheng cannot guarantee the final outcome.
A pseudo-King level creature is already challenging for him.
If an even stronger one appears, he might have to flee.
"Hmm, by your expression, are you thinking to mock me for being too naive?"
Xiao Siyuan observed the changing expressions of Li Zheng and immediately spoke up, "Haha, would I give you that chance?"
"I'm off to arrange the venue transfer."
With that said, Xiao Siyuan left through the Teleportation Gate of the Lava Mountain Range.
After he left, Li Zheng rubbed his forehead, took out the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, and gave it a hard punch, angrily saying, "I need an explanation!"
The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, hit with a punch, whimpered: 'The blade has reminded the master, though the Heaven and Earth Slash has great power, the consumption is even greater, and forcibly using it can easily cause fatal damage to the master.'
"I know!" Li Zheng asked, "What I'm asking is another aspect, why are there so many strange thoughts appearing in my head while consuming my blood energy?"
'Oh, that...' The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade obediently replied: 'Those are leftover thoughts from past hosts that the blade played to death, maybe played too many to death, so the lingering thoughts are quite mixed?'
A bit too many?
Li Zheng's mouth twitched hard.
Do you perhaps have some misunderstanding about the concept of "a bit too many"?
If I hadn't returned as white light quickly, my 1G drive would almost have been blown up by your 1T's worth of flow!
