"Disperse, control them!" Zhan Zhouzhou coldly watched the Alliance troops who were still awkwardly dancing. There were many of them, but controlling two or three each shouldn’t be too difficult. "Right, right, let’s control them first so I can apply a debuff to prevent them from escaping!" Ye Kai’s muffled voice came from inside the mecha. In the next second, a blue laser emitted from the view window of the mecha’s chest. The laser shot into the sky, splitting into hundreds of beams, flying in all directions and forming a large net in the air. As soon as the laser net formed, the awkward dance just ended, and Jes and others watching the live stream through their subordinates’ perspectives lost the signal. Diana panicked. She had sent ten of her top experts, and losing them would be a huge blow. But when she sent private messages to each of the ten, she received the same response. [The person you are trying to contact is out of the service area, please check and try again.] The names, channel numbers, all were correct! Why couldn’t she reach them? "Jes, Joshua, Tanaka, can any of your people still be contacted?" Diana asked in the group chat. Upon closer inspection, she noticed Rebecca’s profile in the group was grayed out, and even the tagging function was unresponsive. "There’s no contact anymore!" Jes messaged in the group, feeling somewhat grateful that he hadn’t equipped those Chip Warriors with the best gear, otherwise the loss would be even greater. "It’s Nine Heavens! It must be Nine Heavens!" Tanaka Junichiro’s eyes were fierce: "Li Zheng is not only connected to Kunlun, but even Nine Heavens is supporting him!" An unfounded jealousy arose within him. Why would two of the largest corps back a mere scattered player from Dragon Country? Why can’t Nihong, with fewer numbers than Dragon Country, be as united? The fools from Creation! They should be chopped up and sacrificed to Ikinaja! And those small organizations, small corps. Chop them up together and offer them to Izuna! If only the entire Nihong player community could unite under his command, he would have already dared to take action against Dragon Country! "How do you know that Nine Heavens is helping Li Zheng?" Joshua asked. Tanaka Junichiro gritted his teeth: "Do you have to ask? The two most famous mechanical designers in Dragon Country are with Nine Heavens, and a device capable of blocking signals must be their research!" Why did they manage to research such a thing first? If that device were in my control, Dragon Country? Even the entire Matrix, everyone would crawl under my rule like dogs! There are rarely duplicate blueprints in the Matrix, even if they serve the same purpose. The reason is that the Terminal respects every inventor’s patent rights. Unless the creator of the blueprint is willing to pay a small price to release a few more, the whole Matrix will only have that one copy. Or perhaps...if the patent holder is killed, only then will the blueprint disappear from the Terminal’s patent library. It takes a considerable amount of time for a patent to disappear after death. Once a blueprint disappears from the patent library, others can re-register with an identical manufacturing method. Therefore, finished tools only have research value and cannot be learned directly by cracking the blueprint. Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone have a copy of rare tool or device blueprints? If Tanaka Junichiro wanted to acquire a tool with the same function, besides the methods mentioned above, there was another way to obtain them. That is, through improvement. Improving on the original design concept to create a better tool of the same type! Like that Water Purifier blueprint Li Zheng holds, which was improved by an old player based on other similar devices. "A device capable of isolating the successful activation of a Space Jumping Device, and even interfering with the Matrix System’s functions, must have significant limitations, and Nine Heavens cannot mass-produce it." Jes, being a tech-type player, understood a bit about this aspect. Diana realized the gravity of the situation: "For Nine Heavens to be willing to give one to support Li Zheng shows they value him greatly!" "Combining with Liu Qi himself coming to support Li Zheng, it signifies Dragon Country’s two major corps are determined to protect him!" Joshua came to this conclusion, extremely shocked. A player who had not joined the two major corps’ organizations received their full support? What makes Li Zheng so special? Just because he holds several rare blueprints? Or because his personal strength is even greater? "Given the situation, those people can only give up!" Tanaka’s eyes were icy cold, "But the fact that Li Zheng could react so quickly indicates he learned of our plan in advance!" "Among the five of us, there’s a traitor!" Jes’s expression shifted: "Diana, why were you so eager to dissolve the group chat after we confirmed the plan yesterday?" If there was a traitor among the five, Diana, who dissolved the group chat before signing the agreement, was undoubtedly the prime suspect! "Me? You think I betrayed the plan?" Diana was almost going mad: "Jes, did your brain get kicked by your grandmother’s size thirty leather shoes? I was the one who largely facilitated this plan, why would I betray it?" "Don’t forget, I sent out ten Knight Commanders! Those are the rank No.1 in combat power on the channel! My loss is the greatest!" "Compared to me, I’d like to ask you, since you wanted to sign the agreement, why didn’t you contact us in advance to reorganize the group chat?" Diana shifted her attack, pushing the blame for the leak back onto Jes. "Don’t change the subject, Diana, you still haven’t answered my question!" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 Diana laughed in anger: "Fine, I’ll answer. I didn’t propose a signed agreement because the plan benefits us all sufficiently. Leaking it is a lose-lose situation, and no smart person would do that! You donkey egg!" A leak not only would cause the plan to fail but would also bring the wrath of the other four. Unless someone is irredeemably stupid, they wouldn’t do such a thing. "Haha..." Tanaka Junichiro suddenly sent out a message: "Haven’t any of you noticed something odd? Why is it that among those responsible for this plan, only one appeared on-site?" This message made the other three’s hearts skip a beat. Why did Rebecca personally lead the team? Wasn’t she afraid of being prioritized by Li Zheng when he fought back? She knew she absolutely wouldn’t die! In that instant, the four understood something and fell into silence. "And who is this?" Li Zheng looked at the blonde beauty before him, waiting for Liu Qi to introduce her. "She’s the one who contributed to our ambush of the Five Great Alliances." Liu Qi smiled and said, "From the Mickey Country’s Round Table Knight Order, she’s the vice-captain and one of the hundred Knight Commanders, Miss Joanna!"
