Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 491 - 410 out

"No problem."

"Yanzi is truly fantastic!"

"But even if we really do manage to get the supplies... would they be willing to work with us?" Dai Lian looked into the darkness, his gaze filled with worry.

He couldn’t see anything in the darkness, but he knew countless eyes were watching this place.

The recent incident had already demonstrated the chaotic nature of this place. Even if these people were dissatisfied with the city’s rules, each of them was no pushover; trying to use them as pawns, no one wanted to be played for a fool...

He was only skilled at planning combat operations for small groups. When plotting goals that a team of four or five could achieve, thousands of viable plans would instantly come to mind, and he could reasonably utilize each team member’s abilities or even their personality traits.

However, when it came to large-scale battles, his past experience was insufficient to support comprehensive planning, which naturally left him feeling uneasy.

Seeing Dai Lian’s somewhat confused profile, Gong Yan’s eyes flickered briefly as she realized the dilemma.

...

The supplies had truly arrived.

Although there were some twists and turns, and even a few small skirmishes, thanks to the formidable strength of Kuang Xin, Dai Lian, Gu Lan, and others, the minor conflicts didn’t escalate into intractable standoffs. The opponents wisely surrendered, even offering up some firearms as reparations.

The supply boxes, which were brought into the underground cave one cart after another, were showered with light from the outer world, attracting everyone’s eager gazes.

They might be down on their luck, but few were fools.

The new leaders had excellent strength and had been hiding in this cave without leaving for two days.

Changes in their lives were expected, that much was foreseeable.

There were also rumors that everyone would soon have good days ahead, filling their hearts with anticipation.

And on this third day, as the sunlight graced the earth in the morning, a wonderful destiny for the first time descended upon all of them.

"Praise the leaders!"

"Is it for us to share?"

"I haven’t had a full meal in many days."

Countless pairs of hungry eyes watched the boxes, and a set of hands, with nails caked in black soil, gently touched the first big box to come in, murmuring softly, "Is this for me?"

"Slap~"

The reaching hand was instantly whipped away by Wang Wenbo, who was in charge of escorting at the front. "Withdraw your dirty hands, it hasn’t been distributed to you yet."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked towards the real protagonists following behind him—Kuang Xin and his group.

It was the arrival of these four player deities from Blackwater City that had brought about all of today’s events.

How to proceed was for them to announce.

"It’s your turn," Gu Lan said with a chuckle, punching Dai Lian on the back.

The group’s actions were always decided by Dai Lian. Although Gu Lan sometimes had her own tactical thoughts and even felt they might be slightly superior, Dai Lian’s plans almost always seemed feasible; not to mention that even when she sometimes felt lost, Dai Lian could still quickly come up with a seemingly viable plan.

Over time, Gu Lan had given up on her own little deliberations about the situation; after all, sometimes it’s quite normal for a woman to be a little lazy.

However, this time, the usually decisive Dai Lian was uncharacteristically hesitant and confused.

He looked around him, trying to find some consolation.

But all he found were pairs of trusting eyes.

The problem was... I couldn’t even trust myself.

There were just too many people... too many people.

Too much attention was a pressure in itself.

Though he had long been accustomed to such pressure and wouldn’t be knocked down by it, the torment of uncertainty in his plans still weighed heavily on him.

Because of this, he hadn’t been able to get a good night’s sleep for the past few days.

What should I say to unite these people?

’This stuff isn’t free for you folks.’

’I need you to do something for me...’

’See this food? If you want it, exchange it with your fists!’

All sorts of opening remarks flashed through his mind, but none gave Dai Lian the confidence he needed; it seemed that no matter what he said, it would be wrong.

Not to mention the strategic planning that would follow, how should I arrange it to maximize everyone’s potential contribution?

Dai Lian had long been aware of the information about the distribution of forces guarding the armory and the potential powers involved, including the topographical features of the city, which Yafei had gathered, but these various factors hadn’t come together in his mind to form countless executable plans as usual.

With the number of participants being too many and the situation changing too drastically, to come up with a well-considered plan that ensures an outcome was simply beyond his current capabilities.

"It’s okay, I’ll do it." A voice, always gentle, spoke up from behind.

When Dai Lian turned around subconsciously, he saw only a pair of gentle yet resolute eyes, eyes filled with a determination and confidence he had never seen before.

"Yan... Yanzi?"

"If you don’t know what to say, let me do it." Yanzi spoke with a gentle voice that wasn’t overwhelmingly strong, yet somehow inspired trust.

"…Sigh~" The sudden sense of relief dissipated Dai Lian’s anxiety instantly; the pressure he had been bearing vanished, offering him a feeling of a burden lifted, "Then go ahead..."

His lips moved, wanting to voice some of the thoughts he had mulled over, but he clamped his mouth shut in the end.

Perhaps Yanzi could do better than himself? Experience tales at novelbuddy

Soothing everyone’s emotions, taking care of each person’s dignity, wasn’t that what Yanzi had always been doing?

Yet, this was a war...

Yanzi’s lips curved into a cold smile as she stepped forward, walking to the very front of the supply vehicles.

Her gaze slowly swept across the darkness, her Spiritual Energy-augmented eyes piercing through the dim fog, and her inherent ability with Spiritual Energy made it easy for her to observe the "emotional colors" emanating from everyone, a power she had demonstrated when they encountered the two Judges from Arbitration Place lurking in the dark in the underground waterways.

Now, all the eyes watching her were tinged with visible, varying emotions.

Expectation, enthusiasm, anxiety, greed...

The complex emotions surged like an undercurrent, everyone waiting for her to speak.

In truth, she didn’t know what to say to gain complete control over everyone here, nor did she know how to care for each person and make the most of everyone’s unique abilities in the actions to come.

What Dai Lian didn’t know, she didn’t know either.

But when Dai Lian hesitated to move forward, she had to step up.

"The rules of this city are not fair, so we’ve come."

"Even if it were not us, someone else would eventually do what we are setting out to do."

"Because of the city’s appalling rules, you had to eke out a living underground; perhaps you could spend your whole lives this way, but your children... your grandchildren... your descendants... and the endless future, I believe you wouldn’t want to see them still living in the same place."

"You might want to flee, but fleeing won’t solve the problem."

"For the next week, you all will get enough food to keep you healthy. But that’s it."

"The food we provide is only for a week, medical supplies are ultimately limited, and I will only be here for a week."

"After a week, we will strike back against this rotten city. Whether or not you join us, we will carry out this action."

"If we fail, we’ll fall right there."

"If we succeed, you can have a real future."
