NOVPUBChapter 399: Chapter 398: Outrageous Behavior
Communication link established.
Shui Yao, dressed in pajamas, was sitting at the head of her bed, yawning.
“You little stinker, why aren’t you asleep at this hour, bugging me!?” Shui Yao drawled lazily.
Wang Hao rolled his eyes, “I mean, sister, it’s daytime over here, okay? And with your high cultivation, do you even need sleep!?”
Shui Yao gave Wang Hao a flirtatious look, “You scamp, don’t you know a woman needs her beauty sleep? What’s that got to do with how high my cultivation is?”
Wang Hao was instantly left speechless by the retort; this woman was indeed troublesome.
“Ahem…” Wang Haoughed to ease the awkwardness and said, “I wanted to ask, to what extent do we have to delay the Alien Race before we can obtain ten Space Gems?”
Shui Yao’s expressionoled, “Ofurse, it’s to make these alien scum stop killing, stop capturing humans to enslave. If possible, wipe out their ancestors eighteen generations back.”
“Killing, enslaving!?” Wang Hao was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao.
Qian Wanyang hurriedly said, “Boss, arding to the latest intelligence, after an army of two billion from the Alien Race gathered, they went on a rampage on eighteen star systems,mmitting all kinds of atrocities. 240 billion civilians were killed, and 50 billion were taken away as slaves.”
“Holy shit, are these civilians pigs? No, wait, even pigs know how to resist.” Wang Hao was shocked, standing still. Howuld such a vastly outnumbered population of humans be slaughtered like this? This was beyond anyone’s imagination.
Qian Wanyang gave a bitter smile, “Boss, themmoners aren’t Martial Artists; they practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies and live longer, and their cultivation is generally not high, so they practically have nombat power.”
“I think it’s not that they lackmbat power, but that they lack backbone.” Wang Hao curled his lip, feeling veryntemptuous of these civilians.
You have to understand, we’re talking about nearly 300 billion civilians here. If they were to fight fearlessly to the death, even if the Alien Race had a two billion-strong army and inherently superior Basic Attributesmpared to the Human Race, theyuld have fought them off until it terrified the Alien Race.
But these civilians hadn’t done that. Instead, they laid down their weapons and surrendered, thinking the Alien Race would spare them, only to be slaughtered mercilessly.
This also reminded him of the war when Japan invaded China; even though the Japanese were well-armed, they were few in number but still managed to rampage on Chinese soil for 14 long years.
If we say that the Japanese were strong, the results actually told everyone that as long as there is backbone and dignity, even if your weapons are outdated and the enemy is powerful, you can still win.
So, having nombat power is merely an excuse; the real issue is the lack of backbone.
“Sigh!” Shui Yao let out a sigh, “Wang Hao, you’re absolutely right. Commoners using a lack ofmbat power as an excuse is just that, an excuse. What they lack is backbone. But we can’t understand why they would be so spineless.”
Wang Hao grimaced, “Isn’t this all just the favorite trick of those noble lords!?”
“It has to do with the nobility!?” Shui Yao looked puzzled.
“Ofurse, it does!” Wang Hao nodded, “If thesemmoners aren’t duped intompliance, how can the noblesmfortably rule over them?”
“This…” Shui Yao’s fine brows knitted together, finding Wang Hao’s words quite reasonable.
The number ofmmoners dwarfed that of the nobles byuntless trillions. If themmoners caused trouble every three days, even if the nobles were formidable, they would meet their doom someday.
Therefore, the nobles chose to deceive themmoners from a young age, instilling in them detrimental values, deeply ingrained, eventually leading to the creation of these spineless, yet obedientmmoners.
“Alright, we’ll talk about this some other time. Just tell me how can I get the ten Space Gems!” Wang Hao said impatiently.
Shui Yao thought for a moment, “We’re planning aunterattack against the Dark Elf Race soon. We aim to roperate after the war. If all goes well, it should take about a month.”
“So that means, as long as I make sure the Alien Race stays honest for a month, I get ten Space Gems!?” Wang Hao asked.
Shui Yao was silent for a moment before saying, “Just to be safe, I think you need to hold the Alien Race off for two months. However, once the Dark Elves are repelled, we’ll immediately send ten Martial Saints over to ensure themplete defeat of the Alien Race.”
Wang Hao’s mouth curled up slightly. “If I do something a bit outrageous, that’s also allowed, right?”
Shui Yaonsidered for a moment and then nodded. “Given the current crisis, if you can ensure that the Alien Race doesn’t cause trouble and allow our rear to focus on dealing with the Dark Elves, then I’ll permit you to take some outrageous actions.”
“Good, that’s what I wanted to hear.” Wang Hao waved goodbye and then cut off themmunication.
“Boss, are you sure about this?” Qian Wanyanguldn’t help but ask.
Chen Yao expressedncern: “Boss, you killed fifty million of the Alien Race’s troops, and now they have a bounty on you. How will they just obediently listen to you?”
Wang Hao raised his head proudly. “As long as I handle it personally, there’s nothing I can’t deal with.”
After saying this, Wang Hao snapped his fingers, signaling Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao to follow…
…
Borderline.
In Shui Yao’s room.
Shui Yao yawned, face full of sleepiness.
“That rascal Wang Hao is finally making a move. I hope themmotion he causes this time isn’t too big.” Shui Yao rubbed her bleary eyes and flopped onto the soft pillow.
“Ding Ding…”
But just as Shui Yao had laid down, her smart bracelet rang again.
“Who’s that? Don’t they know a beauty needs her beauty sleep!?” Shui Yao grumbled as she got up. If it was someone unimportant, she’d make sure to teach them thensequences of disturbing a beauty’s sleep.
However, as soon as Shui Yao activated the device, her sleepiness vanished. The holographic projection showed a woman dressed in armor, her bearing bold and valiant, like ammanding female general.
“Mu Yao, what brings you tontact me!?” Shui Yao yawned as she spoke.
“You never change, always sleeping in.” Mu Yao smiled. “The Palace Master’s cultivation hasmpletely solidified, and she has already set out. At most, it will take her a year to reach the Galaxy Star System.”
“The Palace Master isming in person!” Shui Yao exclaimed.
Mu Yao nodded, “The Palace Master instructed that the Young Palace Master should engage in morembat, as it will aid future awakening.”
Shui Yao gave a wry smile, “Don’t joke, Mu Yao. This Young Palace Master is naturally cunning and full of tricks. When euntering peers, he traps them ruthlessly, defeating his enemies with a single move inmbat. And when up against those of higher cultivation, he immediately starts leveraging relationships, then threatening and enticing to reap benefits. Getting him to fight more, and to fight with his full strength, is simply impossible.”
Mu Yao paused, then asked, “Are you sure you’re talking about the Young Palace Master?”
Shui Yao nodded, “Yes, that’s the Young Palace Master, Wang Hao.”
Mu Yao looked puzzled and murmured, “The Palace Master is very gentle, and Wang Tianyi also has a very upright character. The child they have shouldn’t be sly or cunning. Could there have been a genetic mutation!?”
“I don’t know about any mutation, but I do know that I need to sleep.” Shui Yao stretched lazily, ended themmunication, and fell straight back to sleep…
