In the fourth year, making a coback, he encountered tactics specifically aid at him in the final round. He was bombarded by Mages and suffered betrayal by a team mber who was ill, exposing his weaknesses. "Pig teammate," he cursed under his breath.
In the fifth year, having learned from past lessons, he brought a team ford with Mount Tianwang’s lineup and specially fard Divine Weapons. Upon entering the finals, right from the start, his weapon was stolen by an opponent nad "Plunder," leaving him to watch helplessly as they used his own weapon to slice through his team like cutting vegetables...
His gaplay had no issues, but his battle record always made people feel he was slacking off. So even suspected he was throwing matches, because his solo performance was not bad, but people still found such a record too absurd.
Lately, people started saying, ’Are you kidding ?’ to bla teammates who seed to be acting in their own interests.
Li Aozi wasn’t very familiar with the two hosts; they were not colleagues he knew.
The rest were all the main forces from the large guilds.
Since the version capped the players’ levels, most professional players weren’t greatly interested in going to the cosmos; they still had piles of tasks, resources, and favorability to grind, which were the paths to quickly improve technology and combat power.
But it was different for the big guilds; their goal was to monetize ga assets as soon as possible. Heading to space, to new maps, was undoubtedly the most profitable pioneering endeavor. As a result, the several big guilds got together and sent all their elite players in the hopes of making a big profit in the cosmos.
Du Zexin didn’t understand the value and potential of the players, but seeing them willing to pay for so basic knowledge or to buy what he deed junk equipnt, he agreed to it.
Li Aozi sat aside, waiting for Du Zexin to upgrade his Biological Pool and anwhile continued to inject Arcane Awakening Agents, accumulating so Gene Fragnts.
With 25 players gathered and renting so Arcane Energy from Li Aozi that brought him tens of thousands of Experience points, Li Aozi wasn’t impressed by such small change. But then again, pig farming is a long-term investnt, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
Sooner or later, the players would get addicted to withdrawing and renting Arcane Energy.
Du Zexin had not truly killed the "White Knight," so the threat of the Secret Society still existed. However, after one skirmish, he already had so thoughts and counterasures.
"Without Ether Blood, Youhe Lai is no match for ... I need a body, one that can resist Ether Toxicity."
He almost killed Youhe Lai at the ti, but his Implant Gear body completely failed the Ether Blood verification.
Li Aozi fell into contemplation.
It was too late to find a C3 Luca Type Alien’s body that could adapt to Ether Toxicity. Not to ntion anything else, just changing an artificial lung on-site would be impossible. Implant procedure required a 72-hour advance booking, and one couldn’t engage in strenuous exercise within 48 hours post-surgery.
However, just because he couldn’t find a C3 Luca Type Alien’s body didn’t an there were no alternatives.
He took out his phone and dialed a number:
"Ms. N4, about our previous agreent, can we add one more condition?"
"Yes, I need a biochemical avatar."
"Expensive? Money is not an issue. I can mortgage my Arcane Energy to you. I believe control over gravity is almost irresistible for researchers in the field of science..."
"Heh, look at what you’re saying. How could I deceive you? Arcane Energy is important to , but I’m doing this for your benefit."
Li Aozi smiled and put down the terminal.
"Who did you call?" Du Zexin asked as he was upgrading the Biological Pool, turning the monitor towards him.
"The spokesperson from Mingji Heavy Industries."
"What do you need from them? It’s not like you’re buying fertilizer."
"You’ll find out in a bit."
Li Aozi touched his chin, squinting his eyes.
He suddenly realized that he truly had a talent for making big promises. It was one thing for players to fall for it, even ibei believed him, and now N4 had also fallen into the trap.
Not too shabby.
Seeing him brimming with confidence, Du Zexin said:
"You should cherish this night. It might be your last on Azure Star. I might not see you again after this."
"What, missing already?" Leo nudged his Armored Suit, laughing and cursing, "Idiot, I’m going to space, not heaven. How could it be my last night?"
"I still find the plan insane no matter how many tis I look at it, and even though you proposed it, I can’t accept it imdiately."
Ignoring his joke, Du Zexin turned, the joints rotating with a whirl, he lowered his head to almost level with Li Aozi:
"I’ve dread of escaping the ground, and you’ve done it for . You dare to dream and act more than I do, I honestly don’t know what else to say... Maybe, should I change my fixation?"
"I don’t know, Du Zexin. Your future should only be chosen by you, and I can’t and won’t interfere."
Li Aozi spread his hands:
"You can’t decide your origin and current situation, so you must strive hard, change the future, just like a marathon, you have to keep running."
"But what if I run at full speed and still can’t catch up with others’ starting points?"
"Then the fault is never with you, but with this damn race."
Li Aozi instinctively reached for a cigarette, only after striking a pose did he realize he’d quit for Alicxia. Shaking his head, he said:
"Du Zexin, ancient people would never have imagined a world without the sun, nor would they have thought future man would use nuclear bombs to reach the skies... The era and environnt limit your developnt, so if you can’t win on this track, why not try diving and swimming?"
