NOVEL NEXT Chapter 513 Robbery? _2
"You're from the Floating City too, so how come you don't have any clout?"
Tsk, those pampered since childhood, only really lack useful hands-on people, better limit contact after the cooperation...
The Shaman seemed to have thought of something and quickly dropped the subject, but couldn't help saying,
"Shi Di's strength is even greater than mine, otherwise, we could now launch a surprise attack on the Harkonnen Family, seizing their Spice stockpile while they're still unstable. You all know the value of Spice, and getting a share would be quite a windfall."
Previously, he was very confident in his own side's strength. When he heard about the trouble with the Harkonnen Family, he started considering it.
Since the Harkonnen Family is already out of play, without any value to exploit, then why not make use of the waste.
It seems the Ninja of the Sand Hidden Village wouldn't go out of their way to help much anyway. The strength on our side was sufficient.
"Actually, it's not that we can't try."
Doran, who was petting the Alien's head, seemed to ponder for a bit before speaking.
"How to try? Risk it? The World Breakers who have teleported here recently are at most our level in strength."
The Shaman was somewhat puzzled.
The gap between World Breakers was quite large, but the Suns controlled the Teleportation Device, and for now, only regular World Breakers could come over. And because of the Transmission Fee and cost-effectiveness, there weren't actually many coming.
Most were still under surveillance and restraint, just like him, given a stationed task. Seemingly free, yet also bound by invisible restrictions.
It's that most World Breakers have their own statuses and, coming from places like Floating City, the Suns wouldn't just oppress arbitrarily, thus giving them some room to maneuver.
"Ha, they might have had this strength when they arrived, but isn't it normal to have strength improvements after two months? Who doesn't have a piece or two of equipment? That sword of Fray's, honestly, I even envy it a bit."
Hearing this, the Shaman's expression relaxed a bit.
So that was it...
Looks like they've kept quite a few cards close to their chest!
"Treya went there too, who knows what trump cards she has on her. Her strength was already tough to begin with, plus her solid Martial Arts talent, it won't be long before she breaks through."
The Shaman felt a bit sour about such young talent.
The strength that he worked so hard to achieve, they catch up so quickly, it's really hard to swallow.
The Suns, he couldn't care less, no jealousy there.
But Treya's family is barely stronger than his own, so the imbalance was unsettling.
"Mm, the trump cards she has are enough to treat her as a World Breaker. However, we also have our own trump cards. Though, we should also pay extra attention to those two Ninja she brought along."
"Isn't it just two Jonin? Didn't we find the Village Hidden by Clouds too? A Jonin's strength is still not up to our level as World Breakers."
The Shaman seemed rather unconcerned. Jonin were strong, and Senior Partners were almost all within the Jonin's hunting range.
But he considered his own strength – even at his worst performance, he shouldn't have to worry about this, right?
"Different, the two Jonin by her side are very strong, they could pose a threat to us if they seize the opportunity; therefore, we've also hired some external aid..."
...
Clang~
The tumbling Coin landed in his hand, and Tao Yu could not help but raise an eyebrow.
"I was wondering why my eyelids have been twitching. Has trouble already entered this world? Interesting..."
Beside him, the languid Treya showed her sleek back as she moved and then spoke in a somewhat lazy voice,
"What trouble? What have you been practicing recently? You nearly lost your soul last time."
"Nothing much, just those little mice lurking in the dark seem to be getting restless."
Tao Yu said, causing the previously languid Treya to pause, perk up considerably, and then frown,
"They've been very active these past two months. More and more are coming through the teleportation device, and their strength is clearly growing."
Actually, their pace of growth was not as fast as the overall capability enhancement on the base side. With the activation of the Teleportation Device, those who benefited more from the convenience were still the base.
For the exploration surrounding the base, representatives of the Pioneer from various World Fragments were stationed, and many well-established experts appeared, alleviating a significant talent crisis.
Previously, the base relied on newbies with less than two and a half years of training, with not many Senior Partner level experts, and those who could hold their own as permanent residents faced difficulty.
If the stationed Pioneers were not strong enough, even to the point of getting injured or killed, it would greatly affect the Pioneers' authority over the natives.
Conversely, the stationing of experts tends to subtly create a fixed impression, and over the long term, it becomes easier to integrate into the larger territory.
Pioneers lacking manpower, wanting to maximize benefits, must exercise control over a World Fragment with a few people.
But sabotage and maintenance can create an asymmetrical relationship. They don't need the strength to contend with the entire base; they just need to create a local advantage, strike quickly, and run.
Hence, as the New Development Zone developed rapidly, such troubles also increased.
There was retaliation, even with some eliminated, but they are still jumping around.
Similar to the persistent Alien menace in the World of Avatar that couldn't be eradicated.
Currently, as for being highly lethal, not really. They were still those mice that shun the light.
But they were very annoying indeed.
"However, no World Breaker has acted amongst them so far. Compared to Senior Partners, we've screened each World Breaker a bit, and most have been employed and given some mission assignments..."
Treya was one of those who knew Tao Yu's 'true strength,' and she was quite confident in that.
"No World Breaker?"
Tao Yu flicked the Coin again. Hmm, surely I didn't divine incorrectly.
If someone has entered this world, would they carry such powerful Anti-Divination Tools?
Then Tao Yu tried to locate their positions.
"Eh? Can't find them, indeed they're there, or is it some sort of Contract Pollution similar to last time?"
Tao Yu thought about the Muddled Chaos that disrupted his Spirituality during Dream Spirit Contact, which was scattered directly by the pollution of the Evil Ghost's contract. Such chaos could indeed disturb Divination to some degree.
Sure enough, can't trust it all...
"So, how can we lure them out?"
Go out front, leave something in the back.
Ting~
In the back, it seems just waiting by the Harkonnen would be sufficient.
They would take the initiative to come!
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
Or rather, they have already started to come...
"They're eyeing my Spice stockpile."
Tao Yu thought of that batch of unrefined ore still in precision processing and couldn't help feeling discontent.
This is all my stuff, and yet it has caught others' attention.
Even if the most valuable refined Spice were carried on his person by Tao Yu, wasn't unrefined ore just the future's refined Spice? Equally akin to Yuan Force.
They deserve death...
