Absolute Death Game

"Three people, isn't that too few?"

"On the contrary," Xiao Buli revealed a confident smile, "Three is just right."

"I feel like you, Leader Zhang, have always fallen into a misconception that more people make things easier. But in my opinion, the more people there are, the more chaotic their hearts become. When hearts are in chaos, it's easy to be taken advantage of. Once taken advantage of, it's impossible to accomplish anything great."

"But just the few of us can't possibly stand up against the entire company."

"Of course, we few can't do it alone, but there are others."

"But you just said—"

"What I said is that there can't be too many decision-makers. However, the more participants the better," said Xiao Buli, with an undertone in his voice. Zhang Yaoyang pondered over Xiao Buli's words, yet he seemed at a loss for words.

Xiao Buli continued to explain: "We three don't need to have the strength to stand up against the company. As long as we can push the situation forward, when things progress to that step, they naturally won't have a choice but to join us."

Wu Min'er asked with some surprise, "Do you trust me that much?"

"It's not about trusting you. I have no choice but to trust you. As the head of the intelligence team, you are an indispensable part of my plan. Even if it's a bit risky, it's necessary. Plus, I've always felt that you're not the type of woman who likes to be manipulated."

A flash of surprise crossed Wu Min'er's eyes, clearly taken aback by Xiao Buli's response.

Zhang Yaoyang asked, "Then what exactly is your plan?"

Xiao Buli said, "My plan is to incite chaos and then find victory in the midst of it. The key lies with Li Jian, or rather—Demonized Human Race Li Jian."

"Demonized Human Race Li Jian? What happened to him?" Zhang Yaoyang and Wu Min'er both asked in surprise.

Xiao Buli recounted what he had seen the previous night and then concluded, "Clearly, he has been demonized in the game. I think you both know what that means."

Zhang Yaoyang frowned and said, "Does that mean he's a ticking time bomb?"

"Exactly, he is a ticking time bomb that can detonate chaos at any time. And chaos is precisely what we need; it's our path to freedom. Li Jian is the key. I absolutely don't believe that the Demon Clan demonized him for no reason. Li Jian will definitely make a move, and when he does, that will be our chance." Xiao Buli's words sent both listeners into deep thought.

"So, Leader Wu—"

"Call me Sister Wu." Wu Min'er suddenly spoke up, taking Zhang Yaoyang by surprise. Xiao Buli nodded, "Then, Sister Wu, your task is simple: keep an eye on Li Jian, see exactly what he will do, and report any unusual activity to me."

Wu Min'er nodded without feeling the slightest bit inappropriate about taking orders from Xiao Buli.

Xiao Buli then turned to Zhang Yaoyang, "Leader Zhang, your job is simple too: keep the brothers ready to move at a moment's notice and don't waste our previous preparations. This way, as soon as the opportunity arises, we can strike at any time." Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Zhang Yaoyang nodded, "This won't be a problem, but are you sure Li Jian will do something?"

Xiao Buli shrugged, "Of course, nothing is one hundred percent certain, but sometimes we must take some risks, mustn't we?"

Zhang Yaoyang nodded again, "But there's one last issue. How are we going to deal with the Qilin Group?"

"That's my job."

Zhang Yaoyang and Wu Min'er exchanged a look, but they shook their heads, "Unless you can disclose a bit, I absolutely cannot believe you have a way to defeat the Qilin Group."

Xiao Buli smiled helplessly, "Alright, then I'll disclose a bit. In 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu, the chapter on 'Offensive Strategy' points out 'The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.' My method of dealing with the Qilin Group is simple, and I don't even need to actually defeat them."

"Remember when I used to play Jiuzhou Domination, there was a particularly challenging campaign. I fought a decisive battle with a Great Guild that had twice the number of players and resources as mine, competing for a very important city. We were at a disadvantage in both player numbers and NPC forces. Do you know how I won?"

Both shook their heads, clearly annoyed by Xiao Buli's cliffhanger.

"I had someone stealthily cut the internet lines at the internet café where their guild was based. They spent fifteen minutes looking for another internet café, and it was during those fifteen minutes that our guild turned the situation around and completely defeated them."

Upon hearing this, both had an epiphany and their gaze toward Xiao Buli immediately changed; they thought to themselves that he was indeed full of cunning tricks. Although the details were not revealed, the general principle was clear, and it certainly seemed like a good way to beat the Qilin Group.

Seeing that both agreed to his plan, Xiao Buli asked, "Leader Zhang, who in the Azure Dragon do you completely trust?"

"Bai Yunfei, Wu Tao, and—" Zhang Yaoyang hesitated, then added, "Liu Xing."

"Then just tell those two. Don't let a word slip to others," Xiao Buli said, and then asked Wu Min'er, "Are there trustworthy people in the Vermilion Bird Group?"

Wu Min'er nodded, "Just one, Lu Xinying. I can't trust the rest."

Xiao Buli nodded, "Then just hint a little to her. Don't let anyone else in on this; the fewer people know about this matter, the better."

"Let's get moving then. To ensure the smooth progress of our operation, we must put all potential into play and mobilize all our funds. In the next few days, we must all work hard to enhance our own strengths and be ready to fight at any moment! And once the battle starts, there's no going back. Do you understand?"

When Xiao Buli said this, he rarely showed the demeanor he had as the leader of the Great Guild, which took Zhang Yaoyang and Wu Min'er aback. The two exchanged a glance, a resolute expression on their faces, and said in unison, "Understood!" (To be continued.
