Chapter 10: A True Competitor ()

"Lin Que, the Water Tree has been planted."

After returning from the Thousand Eyes shop and planting the Water Tree sapling, Black Rabbit came knocking at the door immediately.

"Do you have any further arrangements?"

Lin Que, who was killing time by chatting in the group, came back to his senses: "What are you referring to?"

"The rescue of Lady Leticia, of course!"

Even though she had just obtained an unprecedented amount of income from selling a Divinity, Black Rabbit’s face was currently filled with worry.

"The communities participating in the auction are truly luxurious: [Dragon Horned Eagle Lion], [Caduceus], [Avalon]... they are all renowned large-scale communities."

"Especially [Caduceus]; that is the property of the Greek God Group’s administrators and the largest commercial community in the Southern District of Little Garden."

"Compared to them, the money obtained from selling one Divinity is simply too little. We have absolutely no competitiveness."

"If this continues, Lady Leticia will be bought by someone else!"

Lin Que stood up and grabbed Black Rabbit’s ears, rubbing them.

"Calm down."

"I am very calm!"

Black Rabbit struggled out of Lin Que’s grasp, covering her head with both hands and saying indignantly.

"It’s you, Lin Que! Why do you always suddenly pull on my precious rabbit ears! It hurts, you know!"

"Because if I didn't, you would keep talking to yourself until tomorrow."

After helping Black Rabbit forcibly calm down, Lin Que replied: "No need to panic. Things aren't actually as bad as you think." ===== CHAPTER 19 =====

Black Rabbit tilted her head: "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said."

Walking to a nearby table, Lin Que opened the scroll he had obtained from White Yaksha, his finger sliding over the names of the large communities stationed at the four-digit outer gates.

"These strong competitors in your eyes will not actually bid for Leticia."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will only watch from the sidelines."

"Why?"

Black Rabbit still couldn't understand: "Lady Leticia is very strong!"

"Spending a little money to obtain a top-tier four-digit combat force—no matter how you look at it, it’s not a loss."

"Especially [Dragon Horned Eagle Lion] and [Avalon]; they were both allies of the Nameless in the past."

"Even if they haven't been in close contact since the decline, they couldn't possibly watch Lady Leticia be bought by another community out of respect for old times, right?"

However, in that case, Leticia’s ownership would simply shift to [Dragon Horned Eagle Lion] or [Avalon].

Neither of these communities belongs to the East District; once her affiliation changes, she will inevitably be restricted.

If conditions permit, Black Rabbit still hopes Leticia can return to the Nameless.

"You’re being too optimistic. It is very possible they will just watch Leticia be auctioned off."

Lin Que explained patiently: "Leticia is strong, but don't forget why she appeared at the auction."

"The culprit who destroyed the predecessor of the Nameless is still hiding in the shadows."

"Even if the other party took the initiative to throw Leticia out for auction, it doesn't mean they have completely let her go."

"If you buy her back into your community and happen to be targeted by that culprit in the shadows, no one can guarantee that the tragedy of a year ago won't happen again."

You must know that the predecessor of the Nameless was the strongest community in the lower levels of Little Garden.

Since even it was defeated overnight by that unknown enemy, there is no need to mention other communities.

These veteran communities stationed at the four-digit outer gates, which currently do not lack combat power, are just going through the motions this time.

Even some communities stationed at the five-digit outer gates will voluntarily withdraw rather than compete for Leticia, a top-tier combat force.

"Instead of worrying about those non-threatening communities, you should pay attention to [Perseus]."

Lin Que’s finger stopped on the community that had obtained Leticia in the original story, and his eyes narrowed.

"Although it is a community stationed at the five-digit outer gates, the first few generations of leaders of [Perseus] managed it very well."

"Especially after successfully mass-producing invisibility helmets and winged sandals twenty years ago, they accumulated a vast amount of wealth by selling these special Gifts."

Normally, a community with such great potential and the qualifications to compete for the four-digit outer gates would not go to auction Leticia.

But in the intelligence provided by White Yaksha, it was clearly noted that the new leader of [Perseus], Lu Lu Aosi Pasiusi, is a vulgar hedonist—a typical waste of space.

Under his leadership, the development of [Perseus] has shown a downward trend in recent years.

For the current [Perseus], there is an urgent need for a high-end combat force to stabilize the situation.

And Leticia’s appearance perfectly fits their needs.

They have money, and they are willing to spend it.

If Lin Que doesn't intervene, they will definitely buy Leticia just like in the original story.

"I see."

After hearing Lin Que’s explanation, Black Rabbit suddenly realized.

"If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have thought that [Perseus] is the biggest competitor in this auction."

"No need to feel ashamed."

Lin Que patted Black Rabbit’s head: "It is perfectly normal for someone with your intelligence not to have thought of it."

"I’m not as smart as you, Lin Que! But there’s no need to say it like that!"

After complaining in a low voice, Black Rabbit leaned in honestly, looking at Lin Que with burning eyes.

"Since you’ve analyzed so much, you must have already thought of a solution, right?"

"Does that even need thinking?"

Lin Que laughed: "Those large communities won't make a move, and we only have one visible competitor, so we just need to..."

"I understand!"

Before Lin Que could finish, the ears on top of Black Rabbit’s head suddenly stood up, and she answered first.

"Since [Avalon] and [Dragon Horned Eagle Lion] aren't planning to make a move, then we aren't competitors!"

"Relying on our past ties and your identity as a Pure-Blooded Dragon, we can go ask them to borrow some money!"

"With these communities supporting us from behind, outspending [Perseus] in financial power won't be a problem!"

Lin Que: "..."

Is this rabbit stupid or smart? ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
