PDLP Chapter 74 He is an army all by himself!
Chapter 74 He is an army all by himself!
Chen You's mind completely shut down, going blank.
He guessed it, he had already guessed it!
The chill that surged from the depths of his heart instantly swept over his entire body, leaving his limbs icy cold.
His throat was dry, and with all his might, he asked the most direct question.
"That means... monsters can invade reality through that pedestal, right?"
Just as Chen You had expected, this time, Hill did not give him any clear answer.
Her face was once again replaced by that impeccable professional smile, as if everything just now was merely Chen You's illusion.
She bowed slightly and spoke in an elegant tone that carried a sense of detachment:
"Dear VIP member, the answer you seek lies within that trial."
"You have to discover everything for yourself."
After saying that, she fell silent, standing there quietly with a perfect smile, but her eyes were as empty as a deep pool.
……
Chen You suddenly opened his eyes, the eerie smile of Hill still lingering on his retina, while the cold mechanical alarm of the real world was already ringing in his ears.
His chest heaved violently, and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
An unusually calm face immediately came into his view.
It's Li Guoan.
Beside him, several people in white coats were frantically checking the data from the monitoring instruments, their faces filled with astonishment and doubt.
"Quick! A tranquilizer!"
"Stay calm! Don't panic!" Li Guoan shouted in a low voice, instantly silencing all the noise.
He ignored the instruments, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Chen You. "Little Chen, what happened?"
Looking at Li Guoan's concerned yet solemn gaze, Chen You felt a moment of relief as the tension in his heart finally eased.
His lips trembled.
"Director Li...something terrible has happened."
Five minutes later.
Deep within the underground base, in the strategic conference room.
Seated around the enormous circular conference table was the core brains of the entire "Kryptonite" project.
Tactical team leader Zhang Yunhai, data team leader Sun Feng, materials expert Qian Zhonghua, biological expert Zhang Ping, social relations expert Pan Yu...
Each one of them is a pillar of the nation, drawn from their respective fields.
But at this moment, these experts, who are usually calm and composed, all had expressions of shock and solemnity on their faces.
The meeting room was deathly silent.
Only Chen You's slightly trembling voice echoed in the empty space.
When he finished speaking, the air in the entire conference room seemed to freeze, heavy and cold.
Compared to this world-shaking news, the discovery of the Source Realm's filtering of recharge currencies seems insignificant.
"Snapped!"
Tactical team leader Zhang Yunhai slammed his hand on the table. This former commander of the special forces, who had been through countless battles, had veins bulging on his forehead and his eyes were bloodshot.
"This isn't a game! This is an invasion!"
"If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable..." Sociologist Pan Yu's face turned pale.
She knew better than anyone how devastating the impact on modern social order would be if mythical monsters descended into reality.
end.
This word, which only existed in movies and novels, was hanging over everyone's heads so vividly for the first time.
"Should we... give up on establishing a guild?"
A young staff officer couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"This risk... is too great, we can't afford to gamble!"
give up?
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Guoan, who was in the main seat.
Li Guoan remained silent.
He just sat there quietly, his fingers interlaced.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"give up?"
Li Guoan slowly raised his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire arena.
"Comrades, where did this land beneath our feet come from? Did it fall from the sky?"
"Our ancestors, armed with millet and rifles, faced airplanes and artillery. Did they give up?"
"We built the atomic bomb from scratch, using an abacus, facing a global technological blockade and nuclear blackmail. Did we give up?"
His two rhetorical questions, delivered with resounding force, made the person who had just been considering giving up lower their head in shame.
"The Origin Realm is a completely new world, an unprecedented opportunity, and also an unprecedented challenge!"
"If we shrink back when faced with difficulties and take detours when threatened, then what are we talking about in terms of national rejuvenation and the future?"
Li Guoan's tone was resolute and left no room for doubt.
"What do you think that 'Chosen Land,' that opportunity to establish a guild, is?"
He stood up, placed his hands on the table, leaned slightly forward, and his gaze was sharp as a knife.
"That's just yet another test for our Chinese civilization!"
"To evade challenges is itself a form of failure!"
"If we give up on building a guild today because of fear, what about tomorrow?"
"Give up and end up with nothing?"
Li Guoan took a deep breath, his tone softening slightly, yet his resolve becoming even stronger.
"Difficulties are not meant to be avoided, but to be overcome."
He surveyed the entire room, his eyes gleaming with astonishing light, and said, word by word:
"What we need to do is overcome the difficulty of making money through in-game purchases."
Paying to win is difficult!
These four words seemed to possess a magical power, instantly dispelling the fear and gloom in the meeting room, replacing it with a do-or-die spirit and determination!
Yup!
What's there to be afraid of!
We have the entire nation behind us!
We have unlimited funds!
We have the best minds!
It's just a monster siege in a game. Can it be more difficult than when we fought against the seventeen-nation coalition back then?
The atmosphere instantly reversed!
Data team leader Sun Feng immediately stood up. Pointing to the data model displayed on the large screen, he analyzed it rapidly:
"Director Li, everyone, the situation isn't as bad as you think! The system's recommendation is 'teams of ten or more people'."
"Furthermore, according to Hill, very few civilizations fail to establish a guild!"
"This shows that the initial monster siege should be a standardized 'beginner's test,' not a guaranteed kill!"
He acted quickly, and on the screen, Chen You's terrifying attribute panel was magnified.
"According to our comprehensive combat power assessment model, Chen You is currently at level 11 and at the second level of Qi Refining."
"With the support of two Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique and the Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique, as well as rare equipment."
"His effective combat strength is at least equivalent to thirty, or even fifty, fully armed elite players of the same level!"
"In other words... he's like several elite ten-man squads all by himself!" Zhang Yunhai added immediately, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.
Everyone knows that establishing a guild as soon as possible will allow them to learn about the Origin Realm more quickly.
With the support of guild resources, Chen You's progress in the Origin Realm will be even faster!
Li Guoan nodded steadily, looking at Chen You with eyes full of trust and expectation.
"But we don't gamble on probabilities; we only fight battles we are certain to win."
"Xiao Chen, your cultivation cannot stop. Before the territory's design is completed and all preliminary preparations are finished, I need you to reach a higher realm."
He held up four fingers.
"Fourth level of Qi Refining, is there a problem?"
The pressure weighed heavily on Chen You's shoulders.
But the fear in his heart was now ignited by the soaring passion of Li Guoan and everyone present.
He is no longer the corporate slave who lives in fear for his life.
He is the sharpest spear of Chinese civilization, and its only hope.
Chen You suddenly stood up straight, nodded vigorously, and his eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance.
"Reporting to Director Li! Mission accomplished!"
"good!"
Li Guoan waved his hand, a knowing smile spreading across his face.
He turned around, facing all the top experts and scholars in the conference room, his voice suddenly rising, filled with unparalleled ambition and spirit.
"Everyone, from now on, we need to hurry!"
"What we're designing isn't a virtual city from a game, nor is it a simple military fortress!"
"It will integrate our most advanced engineering technology, the most robust architectural structure, and the most profound Chinese aesthetic heritage..."
"I want you to build a true—"
"The Undying Divine Gate!"
