Chapter 1608 Isn't your plan a bit too crazy?
Hannah clearly didn't mind Lin Yu and Chen Le's "conspiracy".
This has nothing to do with "loyalty," it's simply what Hannah felt...
"Quack—you're just trying to steal things from the museum, not murder your uncle, so what's the big deal?"
"In matters of this magnitude, I'd definitely side with the boss!"
Hannah said matter-of-factly.
Lin Yu had, of course, anticipated this, as he knew Hannah quite well.
“In short… with Hannah’s help, our plan’s success rate will increase significantly,” Lin Yu said, looking at Chen Le. “So—why don’t you want to give it a try?”
Chen Le said helplessly, "I have already stated my point of view. I don't think stealing directly is a good option—I still prefer 'trading'."
"Why should we assume, before even trying, that there's absolutely no room for negotiation regarding the 'card' being among the nine treasures, and that they would absolutely not agree to our deal?"
Lin Yu said in a low voice, "From a rational point of view, this 'assumption' has a high probability of being true—because as the chosen one of the Pure Ruins Realm, Ka's identity and many of his current actions have already demonstrated that his primary task is to maintain the stability of the Pure Ruins Realm... The fact that the Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins Realm, which contain the power of the world's origin, are scattered outside is definitely not something he wants to see."
“But if that’s really the case, he shouldn’t have put those three things in this museum,” Chen Le glanced at the display case. “If they really are key, precious [props]… shouldn’t he have hidden them away completely, in a safe place where no one can find them?”
Lin Yu looked at the card: "Is it possible that... keeping it in this museum is already the safest way to dispose of it?"
Chen Le asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"First of all, as the chosen one, Ka spends most of his time in the divine kingdom of the god of banquets. He certainly cannot carry these three things with him and must leave them in the Pure Ruins Realm. Based on this assumption, the best course of action for Ka is to place them in a place with the most experts, and where he can completely trust most of them."
Lin Yu said slowly and deliberately.
Chen Le also realized: "And this place... is the settlement where his clan lives."
“Yes, and in this settlement, displaying this thing publicly is more effective than hiding it,” Lin Yu nodded and said. “After all, the person he trusts is the entire octopus population, not just a specific octopus.”
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le began to waver somewhat.
"That makes sense..."
“Even so…we don’t have to rush to steal now; we should save these three things for last.”
"After all, if we offend 'Ka', the obstacles will be much greater when we come to 'Pure Ruins Realm' to collect the other nine treasures in the future, even if it is in the outer sea."
Lin Yu looked at Chen Le and realized that the other party was completely swayed and was just one step away from success.
He began, "What if I said... I have a way to make it completely undetectable by the card?"
"I have a way to get these three [items] without letting the card know that they fell into our hands."
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le became somewhat solemn.
“‘Zhu Ming’…you’re not kidding, are you?”
Different words spoken by different people will have different persuasive power.
If these words were spoken by "Master Thief" Li Nian and "Magician" Qian Huan, Chen Le would most likely think that the two of them were joking or teasing him, using a joke to ease the atmosphere.
If "Prisoner" Lao Zhou had said it, Chen Le would have felt that although the other party hadn't tricked him, he would most likely have come up with a crude and completely unworkable method.
And when the rest of the 'Freedom Alliance' said this... Chen Le would be willing to listen to their ideas, knowing that they probably had a reliable but perhaps imperfect or slightly flawed idea.
But those words were spoken by 'Zhu Ming'...
In Chen Le's view, it was almost as effective as the "player" Fang Qing.
Fang Qing's promises are always valid—if she says a problem can be solved, it definitely can be solved.
Although the girl in front of him was only at the 'second level' and was the least experienced member of the 'Freedom Alliance', her strength and experience were completely different from Fang Qing's.
However, considering that the other party had once truly and completely defeated 'Order' in the arena battle, subdued the great demons of the Prison Mountain Realm, and even managed to rescue Li Nian unharmed from the Gray Domain...
not to mention……
Chen Le knew Fang Qing before she reached the fourth rank.
He knew that while the fourth-tier strength had indeed greatly helped Fang Qing in terms of problem-solving abilities, Fang Qing had already developed the same reliable feeling when he was at the second tier.
And 'Zhu Ming'...
In the eyes of "Fishing Guy" Chen Le, they were exactly the same type of guy.
Although there was no basis for it, it was just his intuition... but when it comes to judging people, intuition and first impressions are always the most important reference factors.
Therefore, after the other party made such a promise and statement, Chen Le naturally developed expectations.
He was expecting and somewhat certain that Zhu Ming could come up with a very feasible method with almost no loopholes.
even……
What she's about to say might not be a rough draft of an adventurous plan with only a 50% or 70% chance of success, but rather an executable plan with a 90% certainty of success.
"Of course I'm not joking."
Lin Yu also said seriously.
Chen Le asked, "So... what exactly is your plan?"
“This is complicated, but it does require some of your cooperation,” Lin Yu leaned closer to Chen Le and lowered his voice, “So… can you trust me, Brother Le?”
Chen Le laughed: "Don't talk about trust or distrust—just tell me what you want to do and what you need me to do."
Lin Yu nodded, then reiterated, "I know you trust me, and I'm not asking this because I doubt the trust between us... it's just that this might sound a little 'crazy'."
Chen Le laughed loudly: "Hahaha, don't underestimate me. I am a 'third-tier' after all... and the strongest 'third-tier' at that."
"And don't forget, we're all members of the 'Freedom Alliance'—I've been involved in all sorts of 'crazy' things before you joined."
"I once hunted demigods with Lao Wu, went to the 'Dead City' of Fog Island with 'The Mountaineer', and helped Li Nian and Yu Yang escape from the Judgment Court of Night Valley..."
“The ‘Freedom Alliance’ is an organization that does a lot of ‘crazy’ things. The reason we can get together is because we’re not quite right in the head and we’re not content with an ordinary life—whether in reality or in the ‘Death Game,’ ‘madness’ has never been a reason to stop us.” Chen Le pointed to his head.
"Boring and mediocrity... are what we hate."
As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu nodded.
"Alright... then listen to me."
Then, Lin Yu explained to Chen Le the plan he had just come up with, which was indeed quite comprehensive.
Chen Le listened calmly...
Then, about three minutes later.
The composed expression vanished from Chen Le's face, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.
as well as……
The strong opposition that emerged after confusion and bewilderment.
"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, 'Zhu Ming'... Your plan is a bit... uh... I think we should think about it again?"
Lin Yu looked at Chen Le and repeated Chen Le's words.
"Madness" has never been a reason to stop us.
"Boring and mediocrity... are what we hate."
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le spoke up helplessly.
"That being said... but what you're doing is beyond the realm of 'crazy' that I can accept—isn't it a bit too crazy?!"
"What do you mean by saying that you plan to use your connections to proactively reveal our information about the Middle Sea to 'Order,' attract 'Order's' experts to enter the fray, and release as much 'information' as possible to get other organizations involved, thus causing chaos in this octopus community?"
Lin Yu looked at Chen Le and said seriously, "It means exactly what it says... Once a lot of 'players' come to this community, and a theft occurs... I'm afraid the 'card' won't be able to pinpoint our involvement, right?"
Lin Yu said it bluntly.
"But he will also get the news from other 'players' that I want the Nine Great Treasures. Rather, 'Order' will definitely take the initiative to communicate with Ka about this matter after knowing that Ka has three of the 'Nine Great Treasures'."
Chen Le spoke up.
Although he didn't understand the internal processes of "Order" as well as Lin Yu, Chen Le still understood these basic procedures after fighting against "Order" for so long.
“I’ve thought about that… So the way we attract them here is certainly not by using the ‘Nine Treasures’ as a reason or a pretext, but something else,” Lin Yu said after thinking for a moment. “You should know that there was once a fallen ‘Sea God’ in the Pure Ruins Realm who held the power over the ‘ocean’ and ‘storms’.”
"And in order to consolidate 'authority'... He opened the boundary gate to the Wasteland and drained the entire ocean of the Wasteland so that He could wield the authority over the 'ocean'."
"So... we can use this artifact of the sea god as a pretext and gimmick to attract 'order' and use it to make plans to attract more 'players'."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Chen Le sighed: "First of all, I didn't know what you were talking about regarding 'Sea God'..."
"Secondly, how do we make everyone feel that there is a 'divine artifact of the sea god' here?"
Lin Yu said, "I'll take care of the artifact issue. Don't worry about that."
“Okay, let’s leave that aside for now,” Chen Le said after thinking for a moment. “Now that you’ve attracted the ‘Order’ and people from all sides, how can you create chaos that will allow us to take the ‘Nine Treasures’?”
Lin Yu spoke slowly and deliberately: "This is the second step of the plan..."
Chen Le finally couldn't hold back any longer: "So all that stuff just now... was only the first step?!"
