Chapter 113 A Flawless Performance

The final memory was blurred. Wei Yuan's last remaining impression was of the gray-robed man turning around and walking over, the umbrella in his hand shielding him from the rain. Then the scene dissipated, and Wei Yuan groaned. As he regained a portion of his true spirit, everything before him vanished.

The gray-robed man with ancient eyes also blurred and dissipated, transforming into the young strategist, A-Liang, flipping through a book in the museum. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Remember now?"

Wei Yuan sighed and said, "It was Zhu Jiuyin."

"But he seemed to change his mind at the last moment and saved me, which led to everything that followed... Moreover, the guy who assassinated me is still alive. He sent his second subordinate to kill me before, but failed."

Wei Yuan recalled the assassin whose strength and speed were both superior to his own.

"It seems... Zhu Jiuyin failed back then."

"What?"

A-Liang said, "According to my prediction, Zhu Jiuyin probably intended to use you, A-Yuan, as bait during the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, although he caught the fish, he chose to save the bait, causing the fish to escape."

"So, he is considered trustworthy."

He pinched his brow, "I wouldn't dare to join forces with someone who treats everything as a chess piece. Since he saved you, it means he has changed from a strategist who can treat everything as a chess piece into someone with emotions."

"In this world, it has always been about exchanging hearts. That was also the case for Xuande back then."

"But also because he saved you, you took a brilliant step, ultimately choosing to barge in and kill the human emperor of that era, disrupting the entire situation. In the end, Zhu Jiuyin realized that saving you had yielded even greater results, which is why he became interested in you and helped you in this life."

"If I'm not mistaken, you two knew each other in this life because he sought you out, right?"

Wei Yuan opened his mouth, "Ah, this..."

"Indeed."

The white-robed strategist said, "Mmm, in that case, everything is explained clearly."

"Very well, then I will handle that game of chess for you, A-Yuan."

Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

A-Liang tore open the snack bag next to him, threw a preserved plum into his mouth, his eyes lit up, and then he grabbed another one. Overall, he now possessed the personality of his youth coupled with the experience of his prime. While eating, he said, "Just like I said before, have you forgotten what I said in your dream? If I were you, A-Yuan, what would I do in the Ming Dynasty?"

"That feigned confusion, and then created a non-existent person to restrain Kaiming?"

"That's right."

The young strategist originally wanted to grab his fan.

But his fingers were covered in sugar from the preserved plum.

He had to stick out his tongue and lick the sugar off his fingers. He said, "Although I wasn't there, don't forget that Zhu Jiuyin was active in that era. So, is it possible that he wouldn't do anything? Absolutely not."

"When I first came to this era and learned about the dangers and great calamity you were facing,"

"I once deduced what I would do if I were the strategist hiding behind you, facing Gonggong, the Great Wilderness, and existences like Kaiming of Kunlun. I did this to compare the differences between my strategies and his, but the result surprised me greatly."

The young strategist smiled and said, "...I would choose the same strategy as Zhu Jiuyin."

"To some extent, our strategies are similar."

"So, what I would do, Zhu Jiuyin would also do."

Wei Yuan reacted and said, "You mean..."

"Yes, Zhu Jiuyin would also adopt methods to confuse and deceive the enemy."

A-Liang chuckled softly and said, "After your first feigned death, Zhu Jiuyin directly buried you, and then used your identity to lay out different contingency plans, disguising this non-existent character, and then letting this character clash with Kaiming."

"Kaiming Beast will definitely slowly notice something is wrong."

"And at this time, you, A-Yuan, happened to wake up, and by chance, you landed an extremely brilliant finishing move, even disrupting Kaiming's rhythm. Now, he actually believes that the fictitious character really exists."

"That's why I think Zhu Jiuyin is terrifying."

The white-robed strategist sighed and said,

"He himself cannot openly appear and confront Kaiming. He is in the dark, and Kaiming is in the light. Relying on this advantage of being in the dark, he constantly predicts the actions of the Kaiming Beast and makes arrangements in advance. It's like playing a game of chess against the future Kaiming of Kunlun in the human world."

"This is already an extremely terrifying thing, and what's even more terrifying is that from the early Ming Dynasty to now,"

"For hundreds of years of confrontation, Zhu Jiuyin has never made a single mistake."

"The Kaiming Beast has been unable to gain an advantage."

"It's unbelievably steady."

"But this also means that all of Zhu Jiuyin's energy is being tied up. He can only use this method to stalemate and pull Kaiming, and look forward to someone appearing to change the situation. And that person..."

Wei Yuan said, "Is me?"

The white-robed strategist shook his head, pointed at himself, and said confidently:

"It's me!"

Wei Yuan: "............"

He felt like punching him, what should he do?

The young strategist was full of confidence and said, "Now, this fictitious character will be taken over by me to play against the Kaiming Beast. I am in the light, and Zhu Jiuyin is in the dark... um, A-Yuan, what are you doing?"

Wei Yuan turned around.

He folded the newspaper on the table into a stick-like shape.

Then he tied it up with wide tape.

Turning around, the museum owner moved his wrist, and the newspaper stick in his hand smacked A-Liang on the head, approaching with a hearty smile: "If you keep talking in riddles, A-Liang, I'll turn you into a riddler today, want to try?"

A-Liang: "............"

The young strategist gnashed his teeth: "Unethical."

Museum Owner Wei said with righteous confidence: "I'm a civil official, of course I'm unethical."

Museum Owner Wei used the skill - Negotiation: Physical.

The effect was remarkable!

The only effective skill for a brute against a strategist.

A moment later, A-Liang touched the bump on his head and said honestly:

"In other words, let me give you an analogy. After you faked your death, Zhu Jiuyin used your ID card to open an account, used your garbage equipment to enter the world competition, and fought with the world's number one player at the time several times, becoming his most valued opponent."

"But this is just a smurf account, a pseudonym, even the identity information is fake."

"Zhu Jiuyin could have done other things, but in order to restrain Kaiming, he had to use this pseudonym to stir up trouble. The two sides were in a stalemate. Later, although you, A-Yuan, came back, theoretically, it was time for Zhu Jiuyin to hand over this pseudonym to you to play."

"But you, A-Yuan, can't use this pseudonym, because you'll be exposed directly."

"At this time, I came back, so this pseudonym of course belongs to me. I'll play it for you."

"Zhu Jiuyin can also free up a hand."

"Understand?"

For some reason, A-Liang had maxed out his skill points in how to communicate with brutes.

Wei Yuan pondered and said, "I seem to understand, this is a great opportunity..."

First of all, there is such a fictitious opponent.

This opponent is Zhu Jiuyin's pseudonym, but now the person behind the pseudonym has changed from Zhu Long to Wolong (Crouching Dragon).

To put it simply, the Kaiming Beast is already used to the original opponent. A-Liang can completely plan according to Kaiming's habits. A simpler analogy is that two people are soloing in a game.

Originally, the Kaiming Beast was preparing equipment against the opponent's hero who was a physical hero.

It chose to defend against physical attacks.

As a result, we have now changed our hero, from a Swordsman to a mage-type hero, and maxed out penetration.

And the opponent's magic resistance is zero.

The two sides are about to fight, thinking it will be a melee. When it rushes over, we change our strategy and prepare pepper spray.

"How despicable..." Wei Yuan lamented.

The young strategist rubbed the bump on his head and said angrily, "This is an opportunity. It's a great gift that Zhu Jiuyin spent hundreds of years preparing for Kaiming. On the other hand, giving this pseudonym to me is equivalent to Zhu Jiuyin completely retreating behind the scenes, and Kaiming needs to face two opponents."

"And this opportunity will only happen once. The second time, the Kaiming Beast will react."

"So, we have to give Kaiming a hard blow once, as hard as possible, and then take a firm foothold. The human race and the human world can try to transform from being passive to taking the initiative... Facing this situation, only by attacking instead of defending can we seize the opportunity to win."

Wei Yuan nodded, suddenly thinking of something.

In the later Ming Dynasty, when he met the Queen Mother of the West, the latter was very satisfied with what he had done.

If we connect it to what A-Liang said, we can deduce it.

It was Zhu Jiuyin who was playing tricks.

Wei Yuan had no idea what kind of crazy operations Zhu Jiuyin was doing with his 'account' while he was sleeping. Thinking about it, it was like the proctor directly re-marking your exam paper after the exam, and even the question setter, the Queen Mother of the West, was shocked.

Is this guy's brain so good?

Wouldn't this be considered a huge boost to his favorability rating with his future mother-in-law?

Wei Yuan mocked himself in his heart, and then immediately thought that his chop might have shattered all of Zhu Jiuyin's efforts. After decades of power-leveling, it all vanished with one chop, all the favorability was reset to zero, and he might even have to deduct a large sum. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This chop of mine...

Why is this chop of mine so annoying?!

If the Queen Mother of the West were in front of him now... he would definitely...

Still couldn't help but deliver a chop.

But thinking about it this way, Dao Yan was able to live from the early Ming Dynasty to the present.

I'm afraid that Zhu Jiuyin also had something to do with it.

Wei Yuan now only had one feeling: Fortunately, he let Xiao Qing leave Shenzhou. Otherwise, with Zhu Jiuyin's coldness and ruthlessness at that time, to what extent would he have used Xiao Qing in Wei Yuan's name? Wei Yuan didn't dare to think about it at all.

Even the place where Wei Yuan himself faked his death and was hidden was the place where Xiao Qing was sealed.

Zhu Jiuyin had 100% already had a strategy to use Xiao Qing to death.

It was just accidentally broken by Wei Yuan.

Looking at it this way, Zhu Jiuyin's temper was really good.

Wei Yuan suddenly realized that his acquaintance with Zhu Jiuyin started from punching Zhu Jiuyin in the eye socket, to attracting Xing Tian's salt jar to smash his eyes, to overturning Zhu Jiuyin's chessboard, and clearing the 'NPC' favorability that he had been power-leveling for decades, and letting go of his predetermined chess piece...

Zhu Jiuyin had been in the tragic situation of having his chessboard overturned and attacked by his chess piece for a long time.

'This person Wei Yuan always surprises people.'

Wei Yuan suddenly remembered Zhu Jiuyin's catchphrase and resonated with it like never before.

Well, thinking about it carefully, this sentence seems to be what Zhu Jiuyin said to the Kaiming Beast.

Connecting the past undercurrents and the struggles of the wise men,

The feeling of a victim complaining to another potential victim is getting stronger and stronger.

Question: Strategies are like water, changing unpredictably, ghosts and gods are difficult to determine, who can win?

Answer: Mudslide.

A brute is the natural counter to a strategist.

And at this time, Wei Yuan suddenly noticed a trace of something wrong.

Or rather, he clearly felt that he was being investigated by the Heavenly Secrets. This was an instinct after becoming the Kunlun Mountain God. His brow jumped non-stop. Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and instantly realized something -

It was the assassin who attacked him.

The dark chess piece that he killed and then used Chiyou's battle halberd to confuse the Heavenly Secrets had been discovered by the other party, and the other party was trying to restore the Heavenly Secrets. Wei Yuan frowned, unable to help but feel absurd. On the one hand, it was because the body of that god had been torn to pieces by his sword qi, and even the ashes had been scattered.

The other side could still clearly find it and restore the Heavenly Secrets.

And on the other hand,

He was shocked that the other party's mode of action was exactly the same as Zhu Jiuyin had predicted.

The other party's Heavenly Secrets directly locked onto Wei Yuan...

Chiyou in the true dream realm of his brow.

At the place where Wei Yuan scattered the ashes, the heavenly god who ambushed Wei Yuan in the early Ming Dynasty had recovered from his injuries and muttered to himself, "It seems that someone else has intervened... However, that person's killing move should have already been exposed... A desperate battle will naturally expose the killing move, and the myth concept can be inferred in reverse."

"In that case, we can make a targeted ambush against his killing move next time."

He stretched out his hand, and the body of the dead heavenly god in front of him was restored.

But he suddenly discovered traces of another killing move.

He frowned and muttered in confusion:

"The main weapon used is a battle halberd?"

"Shouldn't it be a sword? Strange... why is the trace of this halberd so familiar..."

He was extremely cautious. After thinking about it, he pulled out some traces of the dead god from this body. This was the Heavenly Secrets style of the Wu tribe, communicating with all things. The consciousness of the dead god remained a little and appeared in front of him. The handsome man thought about how he should ask.

The god in front of him was actually a shadow left in the reflection of the years and could not communicate.

But he could barely respond to inquiries.

The content of the inquiry must be precise enough, but not too clear.

If the inquiry was vague, he would not get the desired answer.

If it was too clear, the target of the divination would notice the problem.

After thinking about it, this man with a lot of strategies and sufficient caution asked:

Heavenly Secrets Divination - "The one who killed you, is he a Human Race War God?!"

For some reason.

The reflection of the years communicated with the witchcraft, nodded madly like never before.

The man who asked was thoughtful.

He was a Human Race War God, and the concentration was extremely high. The reaction was so violent.

Then there was no problem, he didn't look for the wrong person.

He dispelled the reflection of the years that was still nodding madly, and then stood with his hands behind his back, calm and indifferent -

Using a dark chess piece to exchange for information about a Human Race War God was really too profitable.

Now, he would use divination to reverse and infer the combat style and myth concept of this Human Race War God.

Then he would set up a plan targeting his characteristics and completely strangle him!

With the calmness of a strategist, with the indifference and confidence of the final harvest, he casually displayed the Heavenly Secrets technique.

The Heavenly Secrets opened before him.

Then, a face appeared before his eyes.

The smiling expression of the handsome heavenly god froze, and then slowly froze.

Chiyou's memory soul grinned, his eyes burning with immortal war fire.

Do you still remember, the Master of War of the Jiuli?!

Surprise!!

"??!!!"
