Chapter 815

“But… Manager, I don’t understand.”

Tong You returned to his seat. He had his head lowered so that the others could not see the expression on his face. It seemed as though he was deep in thought.

Jiang Long was seated right beside him. Neither one opened their mouths nor made eye contact, but were constantly communicating through the guild channel.

As for the other bigshots in the room, they were all staying silent as well. The lower ranking aides and advisors, on the other hand, were either discussing in hushed tones or busy with other matters.

Even though no one there really wanted to bear witness to what would come next, it was clear that they had reached a point where that was a necessity.

After over 70 years, the second time nuclear weapons were used in combat would shockingly occur in the very country that invented it. Moreover, they would be launched by their very own people.

After today, the Pearl of the West Coast, the City of Angels, Los Angeles, would forever exist only in the people’s memories and whatever relic remained.

“Whatever you don’t understand, just say it!” Although there was an impassive look on Jiang Long’s face, he sounded very happy.

“Actually, when I think about it carefully… I did not actually change anything.” Tong You hesitated for a moment again before slowly continuing, “All the words I said, and that final decision, this idiot of a President would have done it as well. Meanwhile, judging by the reaction of the directors and officials, they are not against this decision. Ultimately, there is no other option but to use nuclear bombs to clear the land. And so…”

“So, you think this is unnecessary?” Jiang Long laughed. “And since I can predict this result, why did I have you possess the president’s body and make this decision, right?”

“Yes.” Tong You honestly admitted.

“It’s because you have always thought of your skill as a useless thing. Even if you could successfully take over the body of a formidable monster, you would not be able to obtain their skills. That’s why you believe that your skill is utter garbage. However… you forgot one detail.”

“What… detail?” Tong You was still completely at a loss.

“The final order to launch nuclear bombs was given by the President of the United States of America. And right now… you are the President of the United States of America.”

“What’s the diff-” Tong You was in the middle of talking through their guild channel when he abruptly jumped up straight from his chair, shouting like a mad man.

“AH!”

“Mr President?”

Everyone there was taken aback and they turned towards the President who had jumped up so wildly and now sported a flushed face.

“It’s fine… it’s fine!” Tong You forced down the excitement in his heart and waved them off vigorously as he shouted, “I am bigly fine! Sit down, all of you! No, go do your work!”

“You understand now?” Jiang Long maintained the impassive look on his face, but the tone of his voice – as he spoke through the guild channel – was filled with smugness. “The BOSS, the monsters or all the other participants in this instance dungeon, all of them will be considered as your kills, even though you didn’t move a single finger.”

“Yes, I understand!” Tong You had sat down once more, his body still quivering slightly. “If so, all the points will be mine? Those tens of millions of monsters…”

“They’re our guild’s.” Jiang Long smiled. “Our China branch of the Starfall Guild.”

“Of course, of course!” If it weren’t for the fact that he had to disguise himself as the president at the moment, Tong You would have jumped up, hugged his Manager tightly and give his face 10,000 kisses.

“Wait…”

Tong You suddenly remembered something. “Manager, the guys from Meteor Rock Guild, they’ll die, no? In the past, we partnered with them…”

“And what of it?”

Jiang Long responded with an indifferent sneer.

“Don’t you think their rate of growth is a little too fast? We have only worked with them for a total of 15 instance dungeons. And yet, how strong have they become now? It is true that we could very smoothly complete the instance dungeons every time. More, we also managed to obtain even more rewards than normal. However, it is very clear that they are not telling us everything.

“Previously, by working together with them, we were indeed able to obtain considerable benefits. But they will get more than us. If this continues, it’s just a matter of time before they become the stronger guild.

“Besides, it’s been two months since they last contacted us. Moreover, they also snuck into North America to participate in instance dungeons. Clearly, they are done using us and plan to kick us away. There is no benefit in maintaining good relationships with them. We will also no longer be able to get quest guidance from them in future instance dungeons.

“Since that’s the case, we must naturally nip this guild in the bud before they could fully grow.

“Otherwise… sooner or later, they will become even stronger than the resident guilds of Zero City and Thorned Flower Guild!”

“Your words… make a lot of sense!” At that very moment, Tong You had nothing but admiration for Jiang Long. “However, don’t we still have the Star Sand deal with them? If they die, what do we do about the supply of Star Sand?”

Every month, the manager would transfer out 10,000 points in exchange for 10 kilogrammes of Star Sand.

However, Tong You had never seen him use the Star Sand.

Naturally, since becoming the leader of this team, their manager had led them to victory again and again, giving him the prestige to eliminate all the doubts about him.

Only, Tong You had always felt very puzzled about the matter.

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Jiang Long smiled faintly. “It’s enough.”

“It’s… enough? What do you plan on using them for?” Seeing how Jiang Long was in a good mood, Tong You continued asking.

Jiang Long, however, did not answer the question.

“Tong You, do you know now, in the suitable instance dungeons, and with proper arrangements, just how powerful your skill can be?”

“Yes, Manager!” Tong You was quick to reply.

“Likewise, only I can help you display your greatest power.” Jiang Long sounded very passionate.

“For me, in this guild, you are the single most important person to me. I will not hide any secrets from you. Naturally, it is not convenient right now. Once this instance dungeon ends, I will tell you about the function of the Star Sand.”

“Mr President, the launch program is ready. All we are waiting for is for you to enter your password.”

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff walked over and whispered into Tong You’s ear.

“Go, enter the password with your hand and obtain the victory for this instance dungeon!”

Even though it was only his voice, Tong You could seemingly see Jiang Long smile at him.

Somewhere beside the road, the mutants that were seemingly covering the all the lands there had completely surrounded a fortress and they assailed it without respite. f(r)eenovelkiss.com

Although they suffered from some casualties in the process, most of the teams there had already withdrawn into the small, temporary fortress. There, they fought with everything they had to stop the mutants.

But there were simply too many mutants surrounding them. The small fortress was like an island surrounded by the sea, enduring the repeated attacks from the tides.

In the distance, new long-ranged mutants have appeared. Additionally, there were even more of them than before. These mutants split up to occupy three vantage points, where they kept bombarding the fortress with acid sacs.

Most of the acid sacs were blown up as they were still in mid-air and their contents splashed all around onto the heads and bodies of the mutants on the ground.

Even though they were also mutants, it did not mean that the other types of mutants shared acid-resistant skin. In the face of the falling acid, many of them died. But with their ocean-like number, it did not matter.

The fortress had a total of three floors. Swolegem was at the highest floor, his eyes closed and both his hands pressed against the wall. He was using his skill non-stop.

The entire surface of the fortress was covered with a layer of crystals. Although the crystals were considerably less durable compared to metal, their corrosive resistance was far stronger than that of metal.

And while the acid that splashed down on the fortress was also slowly corroding the surface of the crystals, at the very least, they were not instantly burned through. Furthermore, with Swolegem’s skill, the crystals would continuously grow to offset the corrosive power of the acid, albeit barely.

There was, however, a problem. Maintaining a layer of crystals over the entire fortress was still too much for him.

After entering the fortress for just 15 minutes, Swolegem’s face had turned pale.

“Just… how long do you want me… to hold on?!” Swolegem gasped again and again and he asked through clenched teeth towards Lun Tai, who was behind him, his voice merely a whisper.

“I don’t know either! If you don’t want to die, then hold!”

Without turning his head, Lun Tai shouted.

Standing before every loophole was either an Awakened or a Player and they opened fire non-stop. Stacked behind every one of them was a big pile of ammunition.

At the very centre of the floor, however, there were only Lun Tai and Xia Xiaolei.

There was a frown on Lun Tai’s face as he looked at Xia Xiaolei.

Xia Xiaolei’s hands were tightly holding…

A mutant.
