"This won’t do!"
Without any hesitation, all the council mbers shook their heads hurriedly....
Regarding the issue of handling players, if their identities were leaked, for the sake of the overall situation, as well as to protect their group from being targeted by the natives during their vulnerable early stage, Chen Qing’s approach, although seemingly sowhat exaggerated, was not incomprehensible.
But the second issue was incomprehensible.
What does leaving soone here an? What are they trying to do?
The council had already witnessed Chen Qing’s overwhelming combat strength; to him, all the special combatants in the Virtual World were like paper mâché. Leaving soone here was like a ticking ti bomb....
"Not acceptable?" Chen Qing was also very straightforward, speaking indifferently, "Then there’s no need for cooperation."
These words instantly turned the council mbers pale with fury; this was a naked threat!
But after all, they were seasoned council mbers and obviously would not truly let the situation collapse because of this. Elder Hou, leading the group, maintained his composure, smiling as he said, "Mister Chen need not be so absolute."
"Isn’t it you who are being absolute?" Chen Qing said with a smile.
"Mister Chen, please state your reasons first. Why do you want to leave soone here?" Elder Hou asked with curiosity.
"Actually it’s nothing much, mainly to assign soone reliable here to help investigate so matters," Chen Qing began, "I know you won’t give up the Demonic World, and I’m not worried about the risk of it being shut down. If you were willing to do that, you would have done it long ago instead of expending great energy to maintain it until today. I’m not planning to do anything, and you can’t stop from sending soone here, because he’s already arrived...."
"Hmm?" Elder Hou was stunned and then, unable to keep his composure any longer, turned to look at Chen Qing.
He’s already here?
Was this blustering or...
As the thought arose, an eerie scene appeared; next to Chen Qing there was a sudden distortion, and without any symptoms, a young man in black appeared, looking to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a handso and indifferent face, also a standard Eastern visage.
Who was this person... and when had he co in?
All the council mbers beca tense!!
This conference hall had multiple security checkpoints to prevent high-level life forms from sneaking in and posing a threat to the Federation’s high-ranking officials.
After all, every country has high-level assassins. Without protection, any major eting could potentially beco a target. Encrypted data spaces and layers upon layers of external security asures are critical in defending against these high-level life forms.
When Chen Qing arrived, the alarm had already sounded; he was a special-grade life with the largest energy signature to date, and only after passing through the stringent security was he barely allowed into this eting room.
But where had this man co from?
It was impossible for him to have sneaked in, right?
The Federation’s detection systems were not sothing any life form could elude, as long as it was composed of energy data....
"To tell you the truth, I really admire the courage of whoever dared to open the channel to the Demonic World..." Chen Qing said with a smile as he looked at everyone.
No one understood better than he did how bizarre and frightening the demons of that world were. In the Digital World, the demons from his world were like fish in water. If any one of them mixed in, this world would probably be in tears.
"Did Mister Chen plan this in advance?" Hou Tianhua looked at the man in black, his face terribly grave.
"I wouldn’t call it planning..." Chen Qing shook his head, "He’s a friend of mine from that side who was very curious about this place I’ve co to. He didn’t get my permission, so he just ca along."
"Absurd!" an old man with white hair exclaid furiously, "The channel has strict checks; there cannot be any oversights. How did you manage this? Did Zhang Zhengyuan secretly open the channel again behind our backs?"
"You yourself said there couldn’t be any oversights, yet you still ask how I did it?" Chen Qing said with a chuckle, "As for Zhang Zhengyuan? According to you, doesn’t opening that so-called channel require authorization from several of you? Would it be of any use for him to secretly collude with alone?"
Everyone: "....."
Hou Tianhua took a deep breath, and with a heavy heart said, "Mister Chen’s aning is, this friend of yours, he ca here without passing through our channels? If your people have the ability to do so, why didn’t they co earlier?"
"That’s why I said you have courage..." Chen Qing sighed, "You have always been unilaterally observing that world, sending so people in but never allowing those from that side to co here. This cautious attitude is actually good, but this ti, you crossed the line. No matter how careful you are, as long as you cross the line once, that barrier that used to seem impenetrable to you, becos nothing..."
"There are many ways to infiltrate your place, more than you can imagine." Chen Qing looked seriously at Hou Tianhua, "I hope that when you co into contact with any person or creature from that world, you are more careful!"
All faces turned from green to white, Hou Tianhua’s complexion was also changing, and after a long ti, he stood up and paid respects to Chen Qing, "Thank you for the advice....."
They were all shrewd individuals, how could they not understand what Chen Qing ant?
The complexity of the power systems on the other side was far beyond what you arrogant folks could comprehend. The passages you thought were utterly secure an nothing in that world. If Chen Qing can bring people in, so can others. Chen Qing doesn’t have the intention to do harm, but that doesn’t an others don’t.
If you want to collaborate with soone other than Chen Qing, you need to see if you can withstand the consequences!
Wang Ye, standing at the side, slightly curled his lip; he had indeed been used thoroughly, coming all this way without accomplishing anything and being made to put on such a big show.....
But whether to say it or not, the effect was indeed very good. Many council mbers had, for the ti being, abandoned certain thoughts.
Originally, in their plan, they indeed intended to start attempting to collaborate with others upon reaching that world, including so lone wolf players. If Chen Qing could collaborate, why couldn’t they? Eggs should not be put all in one basket, right?
But.....Chen Qing showed them with facts that this was extrely dangerous.
That so-called passage, that data checking, were not as safe as imagined... before they figured out how this person got in, they would not consider collaborating with any player other than Chen Qing!
The risks were too great..... who knows if the next infiltrating player might be a madman like Number One?
Seeing how everyone was frightened, Chen Qing nodded slightly; it seed that luring Wang Ye here was effective after all. He really did not hope for the people here to have any secret collaboration with other players from that world; the risk was too great, not only for the Federation but also dangerous for him.
As for his own warnings, if the Federation still decided to take the risk, then there was nothing else he could do...
"Mister Chen, may I know..... what do you plan to have your friend investigate here?" Hou Tianhua asked with a smile, "We can provide all the help we can."
"Mainly to investigate my past," Chen Qing did not conceal the truth from them.
"To investigate your past?" Hou Tianhua felt a jolt inside.
"As for my origins, Number One has roughly told already. I want to know how I really got here, and the true intentions of the guy who sent in. Having such a person lurking in the shadows makes uncomfortable, and I suppose you feel the sa, right?"
"Rest assured, Mister Chen, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!" Hou Tianhua guaranteed.
"I still trust my own people more." Chen Qing smiled and stood up, "Those are my two conditions, nothing more. If you agree, you can continue to send people in from tomorrow. This ti, the forces from Shandong have yet to be positioned, so a substantial population can be blended in shortly."
"Approximately how many can enter?"
"A hundred million, I suppose..." Chen Qing thought for a mont, "As for which people to choose, that’s up to you."
A hundred million.....
All eyes lit up at the number; it eased their worries considerably. This number could completely solve the current accommodation issues of the Central Federation. If a hundred million were to transition over, the overall environnt would be much relieved, and social tensions would see a temporary resolution, much smoother than anticipated.
They had always thought that the other party would slowly strangle them by restricting the population transfer, but they didn’t expect such generosity...
So, after hashing out so details, by the next day, the Central Federation announced the full opening of the new world and also published the conditions for entry.
And once those conditions were announced, the whole Federation erupted with excitent!!
