Chapter 86 Calculation of Power, Winter's Reliance

Chapter 292 Going Mad Again

At this moment, Lin Chen had gone mad again.

Actually, he was forced to go 'mad'.

As Lin Chen said, he wouldn't offend others unless they offended him.

However, since the game servers shut down, but only I know about the invasion of reality, Tianyue City had never truly received any friendship from the people of Longling Kingdom.

Even Jin Qiang, the provincial governor, including his identity recognized by the king and the council, was just using Tianyue City as a pawn.

Even when Tianyue City was attacked time and time again, Jin Qiang defaulted to it.

His attitude was one of indifference.

He let those nobles fight to the death with Tianyue City.

Jin Qiang's posture was that of a chess player.

And Tianyue City was his chess piece.

But now…

This chess piece seemed to be getting out of control.

In less than a month, he had soared from level 120 all the way to level 180, and his soul cultivation had also risen from the third and fourth ranks to the Divine Disciple realm… Now, he had even reached the mid-stage of First Revolution.

Then, with one sword strike, he killed Wu XingTian, a Divine Disciple peak, Second Revolution peak expert!

Now, the Wu XingTian and Wu XingXia brothers were both dead.

The Wu family's retainers were either dead or had fled.

In this battle, the Wu family was defeated!

Lin Chen even led the Blue Star people to pursue the Wu family…

The battle that was originally a one-sided crushing of Tianyue City had turned into a counterattack… Now, the Wu family was being crushed!

The speed of Lin Chen's growth…

Was a little fast!

No.

Not just a little, but extremely fast!

Now, Jin Qiang wondered if he could retreat unscathed if he faced Lin Chen's sword strike that killed Wu XingTian…

What if he was given more time to grow?

Could he still suppress him?

Jin Qiang's expression was unsightly.

At this moment, Jin Qiang, standing on the airship, looked down at Tianyue City.

Finally, his gaze fell on Kong Yan.

A Third Revolution expert.

A Divine Envoy realm!

Back then, it was because of her existence that Jin Qiang changed his original intention after arriving in Tianyue City… According to Jin Qiang's original intention, none of these Blue Star people should have been left alive.

But who knew that Tianyue City would actually receive the support of the entire Light Saintess Clan?

At that time, Jin Qiang did not dare to act.

Therefore, he changed his mind and adopted a policy of appeasement towards Tianyue City.

But later, Jin Qiang discovered!

Whether it was the previous attack on Tianyue City by the De family, or this battle between the Wu family and Tianyue City, the Light Saintess Clan had no intention of helping Tianyue City defend the city… The last time the De family attacked the mine, Kong Yan did not take action either.

It was Kong Lin who took action.

With one strike, she severely injured DeMiga.

The Light Saintess Clan对外宣传(duìwài xuānchuán -对外宣传) that they only protected their own territory.

Tianyue City's mine was the territory of the Light Saintess Clan.

As long as there was no invasion, they would not interfere with matters in Tianyue City.

Now, Jin Qiang looked at Kong Yan with some resentment… Had he known this earlier, then he might not have allowed Lin Chen to grow up in the first place.

Now, Jin Qiang was hesitant.

Below, Lin Chen was still killing in all directions.

At this time, in the sky, some family airships had already begun to move…

Of the eight great families, two were now going to be lost in Tianyue City.

The Huo family did not come this time, no one knew what happened…

That left five families.

Those five families all grunted at Jin Qiang, and then left without saying goodbye.

The Wu family was gone.

Wu XingTian and Wu XingXia were dead.

All the Second Revolution retainers had fled.

All the First Revolution combat power was also buried in Tianyue City.

At this time, the emotions of the five great families could be imagined… However, they did not take action.

Because…

The God-Slaying Formation!

Knowing that Tianyue City had a God-Slaying Formation, and also had a Lin Chen who could kill a Second Revolution peak expert with one sword strike, they had to re-evaluate Tianyue City's strength… No one dared to be the first to stick their head out!

After all, no one wanted their clan to be wiped out!

But, another family was gone.

The nobles also felt anger in their hearts.

And when this anger had nowhere to vent, Jin Qiang, who in their eyes had always supported Tianyue City's joining the Longling Kingdom and allowing this group of Blue Star people to enjoy legal status in the Longling Kingdom, was undoubtedly the target they wanted to target…

All the dissatisfaction came towards Jin Qiang.

Each cold snort represented more than just dissatisfaction.

It was also the animosity and hatred of these families towards Jin Qiang!

At this time, Jin Qiang's brows furrowed even deeper.

He had a feeling…

That he had played himself!

Originally, Jin Qiang prided himself on being a chess player.

The entire Zhenhai Province should have been under his control.

But what about now?

Before, Lin Chen publicly questioned him.

This already expressed an attitude… He, Lin Chen, could not be anyone's chess piece!

In other words, Lin Chen could no longer be used by him.

And now, the several major families in Zhenhai Province had also expressed their dissatisfaction with him…

Now, Zhenhai Province, in his hands, had become a powder keg.

It felt like it could explode at any time!

Jin Qiang knew that these five families would definitely not let it go.

They were probably going to find the Huo family together!

Now, these powerful families would definitely unite.

What would they do?

Attack Tianyue City together?

Or… impeach him together to the council?

Perhaps…

Both!

Jin Qiang's expression was very bad.

As for the things related to the Imperial Battlefield that he was going to announce to Lin Chen, they were all thrown to the back of his mind.

Now, he had to deal with the immediate crisis.

"Let's go back."

Jin Qiang said faintly, but his voice was somewhat dry.

"Provincial Governor, what do we do now?" Jin Mu asked.

He could also feel Jin Qiang's current situation.

Therefore, he looked worried.

"We can only inform His Majesty of the truth as quickly as possible, and ask His Majesty to send people to support us…"

Jin Qiang was obviously very headache, he pinched his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Who would have expected that Lin Chen would grow so fast, too fast! If we don't control him, I'm afraid we won't be able to control these Blue Star people. I heard that the Blue Star people in Lingnan Province are very honest and obedient… Jin Mu, we must gather all the Jin family army to Luoye City. If things go wrong, then we… at least have a way out!"

The speed of Lin Chen's growth was too fast.

So that now Jin Qiang, the provincial governor, who once completely did not take Lin Chen in his eyes, now only about a month later, he has already felt the threat.

But what made Jin Qiang even more fearful was the council, the king.

It was the complex political situation!

The political situation in Longling Kingdom has always been very complex.

This is mainly caused by the contradiction between the nobles and the kingship.

In fact, Jin Qiang is also part of the nobility.

However, he is loyal to the king, helps the king to act, and seizes land.

The land eaten by the powerful!

In the eyes of the nobles, Jin Qiang is obviously a traitor.

Is a betrayal of interests.

At this time, can Jin Qiang not feel threatened?

But, how could a person like Jin Qiang have no trump cards?

The Jin family army is his trump card!

This is, have been on the imperial battlefield to kill!

Jin Qiang was born in the army, grew into a noble in the imperial battlefield, and later because of the Blue Star invasion plan, he was entrusted with an important task by the king to take charge of Zhenhai Province. To put it bluntly, the current Jin Qiang is actually a feudal official.

He can use a lot of resources.

"Once the council wants to move the provincial governor, our Jin family army will just secede! In order to protect the provincial governor and protect the family, we will fight to the death!" Jin Mu said in a deep voice.

He has thought of the worst situation.

It's really a slip of the foot into eternal hate!

Who would have thought that a Blue Star person who was only level 120 a month ago could force a huge Zhenhai Province, many Second Revolution peak experts, into such a situation?

Now, it is because of a Lin Chen, a Tianyue City, even the provincial governor Jin Qiang feels that his position is not guaranteed.

Jin Mu, and Jin Qiang and his subordinates, are still quite loyal.

All expressed that they would be loyal to Jin Qiang.

Even…

They are all ready to secede!

This is, to break away from the control of the Longling Kingdom!

What is this?

This is rebellion!

But even if Jin Mu is full of confidence, confident that the Jin family army has the strength to secede, but Jin Qiang's next sentence still makes him at a loss.

Jin Qiang said in a deep voice: "If the council wants to move me, then we can indeed secede, not listen to them, but… if His Majesty wants to move me?"

"His Majesty… how is it possible!"

Jin Mu was shocked.

What he said, the Jin family army seceded, must also have the support of His Majesty.

And he also believes that His Majesty the King will support.

Because…

The Jin family has always been loyal to him, and also for the king's power, in order to prevent the increasingly膨胀(péngzhàng - expanding) nobles from反噬(fǎnshì - backlash),才做的这一切啊(cái zuò de yīqiè a - all this was done)!

How can His Majesty the King cross the river and demolish the bridge?

Once, lost the support of the king, then Jin Qiang is even人神共愤(rénshéngòngfèn - incurring the wrath of gods and men).

But…

What did Jin Qiang do?

What十恶不赦(shí è bù shè - heinous) things did he commit?

Must he be forced to such a dead end?

No!

What Jin Qiang did was to be loyal to the royal family, and it was also a major event that was conducive to the royal family's consolidation of power!

To seize the land, not to let the nobles continue to annex it endlessly, this is even a reform that is conducive to the Longling Kingdom for thousands of years!

But why, will it become like this?

"Provincial Governor, if the king is really so昏庸(hūnyōng - fatuous), then this country is completely hopeless." Jin Mu said hatefully.

"You don't understand."

Jin Qiang shook his head.

There are many things that Jin Mu still doesn't understand.

How can the struggle for power be completely covered up by some great principles?

Jin Qiang himself knows what he is doing.

Also knows, offending these powerful people, is for what.

But, does the king and the council not know?

The Three Dukes and Thirteen Marquis, do they not know?

Everyone is clear!

It's just that, the struggle of interests, each is the master.

Everyone wants to protect their own interests.

"Report to the council, Lin Chen of Tianyue City, refuses to fulfill his obligation to send troops to join the imperial battlefield, request the council to send people to鎮壓(zhènyā - suppress)… As for the king, tell the truth about everything."

Jin Qiang said: "Jin Mu, if possible, I now… just want to take you brothers, can全身而退(quánshēnértuì - get away unscathed)."

Although that's what he said.

But from Jin Qiang's attitude…

He himself also knows, I'm afraid it's not easy to retreat.

Lin Chen didn't know that he had been given an unwarranted crime by Jin Qiang.

He let everyone clean up the battlefield.

Then, Lin Chen looked at the airships of various forces that had gone away, and he was also meditating…

Today's sword, can be regarded as his fist, for the first time in front of the various forces of the entire Zhenhai Province.

It can also be regarded as him, showing his fangs.

So, what will happen next?

Lin Chen could not predict.

After all, his understanding of the entire Longling Kingdom is only limited to the Zhenhai Province area.

The only thing Lin Chen can do is to become stronger!

Now he has officially entered the mid-stage of the First Revolution.

Soul cultivation is somewhat slow.

This is normal.

After all, the Divine Disciple realm is to贯穿(guànchuān - run through) the two major realms of First Revolution and Second Revolution.

The equipment that Lin Chen can use can also be upgraded.

At present, the First Revolution handmade can not be done.

However, someone has a way.

Winter!

Dragonling Empire merchant.

A pure speculator.

Lin Chen found Winter and asked him if he had the First Revolution equipment design drawings, and the superb equipment appraisal drawings.

"City Lord Lin, to be honest, the business交流会(jiāoliúhuì - exchange meeting) that I discussed with you before may be postponed indefinitely… Today's battle will make the situation in Tianyue City very bad."

Winter, after seeing Lin Chen, was asked for these things by Lin Chen, instead, he had a sad face, he said: "This time I can be regarded as a miss ah, I don't know that City Lord Lin you actually… actually can kill the Second Revolution peak with one sword! That is the Divine Disciple realm peak, which means that you already have the strength to threaten many people. Next, I'm afraid the superiors will no longer優待(yōudài - give preferential treatment) Tianyue City. So, the most loss this time is me, I transferred so many things to Tianyue City, it is possible to lose everything!"

Winter was very depressed.

He said that he had missed it, not that he had mistaken the potential of Tianyue City.

On the contrary, the commercial potential of Tianyue City has always been there.

The key is…

Winter himself could not have imagined that there would be someone whose growth speed would be so fast this year.

It is precisely because Lin Chen冒头(màotóu - stand out) too fast, but let the risk assessment of Tianyue City was infinitely拉高(lāgāo - increase).

This is what Winter is most afraid of!

High risk, that represents the city is likely to be unable to保住(bǎozhù - keep).

Then, all his investment, is not to打水漂(dǎshuǐpiāo - go down the drain)?

So Winter now see Lin Chen, no longer is a look of成竹在胸(chéngzhúzaixiōng - have a well-thought-out plan), on the contrary, he is very sad now.

Losing everything!

God knows, how much material did he transfer over because he was optimistic about Tianyue City?

Now, the business has not yet started, it is going to even the basic盤(pán - position) are gone.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Winter, is it that you are too worried? I think, with the complexity of the Longling Kingdom's 朝局(cháojú - political situation), it should not be so that even a small Tianyue City can not容不下(róngbuxià - tolerate) it, right?"

"City Lord Lin, you are right, but… may I ask City Lord Lin, you killed Wu XingTian with one sword, or the identity of the Blue Star people, acting so high-profile, are you someone in the court?" Winter asked.

Lin Chen was stunned, then shook his head.

Someone in the 朝(cháo - court)?

Where did he come from!

"No one to保(bǎo - protect) you, then why is City Lord Lin so sure that Tianyue City will not be besieged?"

Winter said, picked up the wine glasses between the two摆(bǎi - put): "This is His Majesty the King, this is the council, this is the Three Dukes and Thirteen Marquis… City Lord Lin, these three forces, may I ask you to be confident, let one of them庇护(bìhù - shelter) you, shelter Tianyue City?"

"No." Lin Chen shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to help you contact any of these forces…"

Winter expressed regret: "City Lord Lin, the things you want I have, but, I'm afraid City Lord Lin you can not afford the price."

"You just open your mouth." Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

Winter said: "The First Revolution handmade equipment design drawings, I can give you a thousand, the First Revolution superb equipment appraisal符(fú - talisman), I can also give you a thousand, but these things, the value is 3 billion gold coins… City Lord Lin can you afford it?"

Obviously, Winter does not know Lin Chen's financial resources.

This is normal.

After he came to Tianyue City, he has been doing business with those Tianyue City residents, that is, the Blue Star people.

Most of these Blue Star people are earning some gold coins and soul crystals by mining, everyone's leveling including eating and living costs money, have to精打细算(jīngdǎxìsuàn - careful calculation), although the market is very good, but Winter did not see them very rich.

Of course, he believes that Lin Chen should not have much money.

But Lin Chen smiled and said: "No problem, in addition… and the Tiangong秘境(mìjìng - secret realm), and what good things you have, I can want, including special formation materials. By the way, handmade equipment design drawings, higher than level 120, including superb equipment appraisal 符, all want, you just name your price!"

"What?"

Winter was shocked!

With his hands, Lin Chen said these things add up, the price is to break 10 billion gold coins ah!

Is Lin Chen this rich?

"My wealth, can only say, will exceed your imagination!" Lin Chen抿嘴一笑(mǐnzuǐyíxiào - pursed his lips and smiled).

Then, he threw a space ring to Winter.

Inside密密麻麻(mìmimámá - densely packed), all are gold coins!

At least… 10 billion!

Then, another space ring.

Inside are all soul crystals.

Ordinary.

There are also 10 million!

"Enough? If not enough, I still have…" Lin Chen asked faintly.

"Enough, too enough!"

Winter said with joy: "早知道(zǎozhīdào - Had I known) City Lord Lin you are so rich, then what am I worried about?"

"No, you still have to worry, after all, according to what you said, now the entire Longling Kingdom may be忌惮(jìdàn - fear) me… To tell you the truth, I have a lot of wealth, but now… I may have to带(dài - bring) these wealth跑路(pǎolù - run away)." Lin Chen said半忽悠(bànhūyōu - half coaxing).

He knows that Winter is a very pure businessman.

What is the essence of a pure businessman?

Wealth!

He is greedy for money.

Now, Lin Chen showed his financial resources.

That is what he spent tens of millions to exchange before the game servers shut down, almost the entire "New World" online game, players accumulated for 20 years, created more than half of all the wealth in the game!

Lin Chen is very rich!

But now, the Longling Kingdom can not容(róng - contain) him.

Lin Chen said that he wanted to run.

But, facing such a God of wealth, Winter but did not干了(gānle - willing), he quickly said: "City Lord Lin, the things you want, I will let送(sòng - send) over now! In addition, City Lord Lin you actually do not have to worry, I have a way here, maybe can guarantee you Tianyue City, in this storm全身而退(quánshēnértuì - get away unscathed)… I do not know, City Lord Lin you have heard of Princess Qingyue?"

"Never heard of it." Lin Chen shook his head.

"I can, help you and Princess Qingyue get in touch, if City Lord Lin can make her satisfied, maybe… she can保(bǎo - protect) City Lord Lin, and the entire Tianyue City!"

Winter also finally,亮(liàng - show) out a trump card that he is doing well in the Longling Kingdom: "To tell you the truth, the owner behind me is the sister of the Dragonling Kingdom's king, Princess Qingyue!"

The big play begins to上演(shàngyǎn - stage).

Lin Chen showed his fangs.

How can a Blue Star person who is天生敌视(tiānshēngdíshì - be naturally hostile) by the entire country全身而退(quánshēnértuì - get away unscathed) from the角逐(jiǎozhú - contention) of power?

Please look forward to it!

In addition, don't say that I am writing filler.

The protagonist is soon going to冲向(chōngxiàng - rush to) the universe, it's not even 300,000 words yet!
