”I can identify four of them. As for the rest, information is insufficient for further deductions.” This came from Mu. His bionic eyes were back to normal.
”Yeah, those people are strong,” Little Rock nodded in agreement. ”If it wasn’t for my opponent being a little careless, I wouldn’t have noticed them.” He behaved just as usual. To him, meeting strong opponents was a normal occurrence. He did not know that he was already well beyond most of the advanced computation experts. After a pause, Little Rock spoke with a curious look, ”The virtual world is very different from the one we’re used to. The computations used look nothing like from our virtual world. Strange.”
”Boss Mu, what is this place?” The question came from Lian Yue.
Mu paused for a moment before replying, ”Information is insufficient for confirmation. 62 percent of the data fragments from my database is related to this place.”
Lian Yue was shocked, and howled pitifully, ”You can’t be serious, Boss Mu, even you can’t tell our whereabouts? What should we do next?”
”Here are three action plans, each one of them has about 70 percent probability of success, and each has its own advantages and weaknesses. Do you have other suggestions?” Mu asked, just as the holographic screen on Coxcomb displayed all three action plans.
The three of them shook their heads almost in unison.
”Due to the given circumstances, the decision will be made randomly.” Mu acted quickly. The three action plans began to take turns showing on the holographic screen. When the screen finally stopped changing, only the third action plan, Plan C, was left on display.

After a good few minutes, Old Chief Guo finally came out of the hotel again. The spectators knew that the moment had come. Roland looked at ease, lacking any signs of nervousness.
Old Chief Guo came to a stop and stood there for a moment, as if thinking to himself, before speaking plainly, ”We are humbled by your offer, but we have a few conditions.”
”Pray tell,” Roland gestured with his hand.
”First, your son will not be in contact with you for five years.”
”I agree.”
”Second, we will not be responsible for his life.”
The crowd erupted into an uproar. Never had a teacher refused to be responsible for their disciple’s safety. It was outrageous to accept so much money and still act so irresponsibly. This was 50 billion credits!
Just when the crowd expected Tribe Leader Roland to refuse, the man spoke with resolution, ”I agree.”
The people were riled up once again. They stared blankly at Tribe Leader Roland. To them, the proudly standing old fool was the most witless person ever. Nonetheless, some of the spectators looked thoughtful. These were mostly people who knew Tribe Leader Roland personally. They knew that the tribe leader would never act so imprudently. There must be some scheme behind this seemingly foolish agreement.
”We have an accord,” Old Chief Guo found himself feeling oddly calm as he received the card with 50 billion credits in it from the tribe leader.
Zhang Sunli glared at him condescendingly. He stepped forward and pronounced loudly, ”I did not expect that you so-called Jie experts would be so materialistic. I’ve overestimated you.” Zhang Sunli’s words resonated with many in the crowd. They too looked at Old Chief Guo with disdain, but dared not speak up.
Old Chief Guo took a quick glance at Zhang Sunli. He knew what the Boss was like, and did not care to waste the effort of arguing with Zhang Sunli.
Old Chief Guo turned to go back into the hotel, when another person spoke up, ”Sir, please wait.”
Recently, Old Chief Guo had been called ”Sir” for more times than all the other times in his life combined. ”It’s not easy to be recognized as a person of higher status,” Old Chief Guo mocked himself. He turned back and found that person calling him to be Shi Xin.
Shi Xin stepped into the empty circle before the hotel entrance and hailed, ”I too would like to be your disciple, and will accept your two conditions. Here is 50 billion credits as payment, please accept it.”
Once again, the crowd exploded in an uproar. This was the biggest drama of their lives, enough to fuel gossips for decades to come. Never again would they encounter anything like this! Shi Xin’s guards were all stunned. Even Uncle Hua was speechless. He quickly made a call to the tribe leader and reported the events discreetly. He decided that if the tribe leader opposed this idea, he would force the Third Young Miss back home.
Inside the hotel, Ye Chong was already speechless. Another 50 billion credits! Why did it seem like any person could be richer than the previous one? However, why would anyone refuse money? Besides, Ye Chong needed the credits now. Even so, Ye Chong could not help but think about how poor they were compared to these filthy rich aristocrats.
Old Chief Guo saw Ye Chong nodded, and said, ”Alright, since you have this determination, please join us.” He accepted the card from Shi Xin and led the girl into the hotel.
Uncle Hua was struggling with himself, but he could only watch as Shi Xin entered the hotel, unable to stop her.
