Chapter 1676: Successful Coercion

r

Looking at the Chimera Emperor forced to "submit", Lin An raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.

Of course, he also let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, him not being nervous is fake; at the moment the Chimera Emperor flew into a rage and attacked, he had already prepared a plan for mutant reversal. Although, he was likely to be instantly killed on the spot...

Fortunately, he guessed right, and the developments were roughly as he had judged.

But the surprise is that, as a Star-Destroying Level Chimera Emperor, he actually couldn't come up with three hundred points.

Three hundred points shouldn't be that much, right?

Lin An's heart sank; he believed that since the Chimera Emperor had chosen to endure humiliation and bow his head, there was no reason to refuse himself.

If he can't produce it, then he really can't produce it.

But... three hundred points couldn't even buy a single Star-Destroying Level equipment; in his original plan, he intended to exchange for the injection first, then use the remaining points to trade for attributes.

That way, he would be confident of obtaining Fifth Stage-level combat power and smoothly start the snowball!

In the stiff atmosphere, Hei Di, standing between the two, seemed to see that Lin An's surprise was genuine.

He flashed a glint of sharpness in his eyes and straightforwardly and respectfully began to explain to Lin An.

"Lin Emperor, the three hundred points you want are indeed too much."

"For someone like you, a super-powerful expert, three hundred points isn't much. But for us.. a hundred points is an astronomical figure..."

"As you know, the Star Battlefield is considered the simplest mission; in other disasters, we don't even have a chance to earn points..."

With a bitter laugh, Hei Di was also being sincere, looking at Lin An without hiding anything.

That's right, they really can't come up with that much.

It's not a combat-type mission or disaster; after completion, there are only fixed points, or even none at all.

Therefore, even for Star-Destroying beings, they hardly have any points on them.

A hundred points is equivalent to killing ten Star-Destroying beings of the same level, a hundred early Fifth Stage, or Fourth Stage.

It seems easy to kill a hundred Fourth Stage, but not every mission is like the Star Battlefield, which can have faction divisions and Fourth Stage reinforcements.

Moreover, if they try to kill the Fourth Stage brought by other Fifth Stage beings, those Fifth Stage will also fight them desperately.

Unlike battles before Fifth Stage, after reaching Fifth Stage, each Fifth Stage values his life greatly.

Star-Destroying Level beings are even more terrified of death to the extreme.

This fear of death is not due to cowardice or lack of courage to fight; rather, behind every Star-Destroying Level being lies an entire civilization.

They are no longer living for themselves... Otherwise, how could the mighty Hei Di be so cautious just because he dares not confirm Lin An's strength?

"Then how much can you produce?"

Looking at Hei Di's genuine expression, Lin An's heart sank, and he bluntly asked in a cold voice.

He didn't bother about revealing his own lack of points.

For Lin An, all his hopes now could only be placed on swindling money.

He knows his situation well; don't be fooled by the Chimera Emperor's current subdued demeanor and reservations—this guy simply can't endure it for long.

Hei Di is cautious in his thoughts, but if the risk becomes too great, this old fox will drop the act, kill himself, and flee!

Hearing Lin An refuse to give up, even with a hint of urgency, Hei Di had myriad thoughts flash through his mind, hesitated for a long time, and then respectfully spoke.

"Lin Emperor, I can at most produce thirty points... any more, and we are willing but unable..."

"It's not that we can't produce more; before entering the Star Battlefield, we had already exchanged all our points for progress, for combat power. As you know, no one dares guarantee that they will definitely make it out alive..."

Forcing out a faint smile, Hei Di sincerely lifted his head to look at Lin An.

He actually still has around seventy points on him, but given his mental image that Lin An is just three hundred points away from restoring his strength, he absolutely dares not give more.

Thirty points, one-tenth of the number.

This proportion just lets Lin An "recover" a bit of strength, but not too much.

After calculating the remaining points needed, in Hei Di's calculation, this is roughly equivalent to having hunted down a batch of Fifth Stage beings.

When Lin An is about to gather three hundred points, that is also the best time for him to strike!

"Thirty points..."

Hearing the number Hei Di spoke, beneath the mask, Lin An's face immediately turned somewhat unsightly.

He didn't feel comfortable pressing further.

If he pressed further, this old guy might very well turn hostile.

But this number..

"And you?"

"Candis?"

"Don't tell me your Natural Alliance can't even produce thirty points!"

Glancing sideways at the relatively rational Green Dragon, Lin An bluntly opened his mouth to demand.

Two lots of thirty points would also work; although it deviates somewhat from the plan, it still meets the minimum standard.

The dragon's head drooped.

At this moment, Candis, who was controlling the body, flashed a hint of coldness in her eyes, hesitating without immediately answering.

Although she is calmer than the Red Dragon, facing Lin An's bandit-like demand, she is certainly not without anger in her heart.

Thirty points?

She has this number, but it's enough to make her feel the pinch!

Weighing the pros and cons, after a brief hesitation, Candis let out a quiet sigh, eventually slowly raising her head to look at Lin An.

"Lin Emperor..."

"Fifteen points, we can at most produce fifteen points."

Those prisoners are still here, aren't they? After you kill them, the points we get can still give you a bit more.

There really isn't any more.

We just entered the battlefield; these points are still left over from before...

One minute later.

A person and a dragon stand side by side.

Vaguely opposed, yet drawing closer to each other.

Standing above the fortress, Hei Di and the green dragon simultaneously withdrew their gazes from outside the stone gate.

Just one minute ago, Lin An forced them to hand over the points, then entered the exchange point again.

He went in.

Hei Di, what exactly are you planning?

In unison.

On the ferocious dragon's head, Kantis looked with a somewhat grim expression at the calm Hei Di.

Hei Di, I need an explanation.

This guy, do you really think he's Shattered Star level?

Listening to Kantis's skeptical and probing question, Hei Di's expression was deep, as if he had seen the true thoughts in the green dragon's heart.

Do you think I'm too humble? Too cautious?

Chimera Emperor, haven't you noticed any problems?
