Chapter 151: Chapter 101: Can I trust you?

He paused for a moment to collect himself, then replied:

“I was pretty sure I could handle the Void Tide, you know?”

“If I’d told you,”

“and had you run all the way over here,”

“wouldn’t that have just wasted your valuable time to climb the event rankings and develop your own territories?”

The words had barely left his mouth when a private message from Su Mumu popped up:

“Are you sure?”

“You, all by yourself, can handle endless waves from the Void Tide *and* a joint attack from a group of Evil God Players?”

“Don’t forget.”

“You still owe me 25 purple-grade Unit Promotion Cards.”

“I can’t just let you die.”

Seeing this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle. He immediately asked:

“How did it become only twenty-five Unit Promotion Cards?”

“You came all this way to help me deal with the Evil God Players. Aren’t you going to charge a mercenary fee for defending my home?”

“You should at least round it up to three hundred and twenty-five, right?”

Su Mumu replied quickly, her tone calm as she explained:

“Oh.”

“That doesn’t count.”

“Because you didn’t agree to my deal that night.”

“So, coming to support you this time is just a free investment on my part.”

Qin Feng spread his hands helplessly.

“Alright, alright, Miss Mumu, you’re the boss… Where are you guys now? What’s the situation?”

Su Mumu answered truthfully:

“The Fox-man tribe.”

“The situation isn’t good.”

“Several Void Gates north of the Minotaur Kingdom have been activated.”

“There are Void Creatures everywhere now.”

“It looks like it.”

“Our previous judgment was correct.”

“Those Evil God Players plan to turn the Northern Forest into their main base of operations.”

“Once they’ve fully built up the Evil God Legion, they’ll push south, starting with the Minotaur Kingdom, then striking the Northern Empire, and finally dealing with the Ventecenia Kingdom in the south…”

After a pause, Su Mumu suddenly asked:

“You’ve already clashed with that group of Evil God Players, haven’t you?”

Qin Feng no longer chose to hide it and admitted directly:

“Yes.”

Su Mumu’s eyes sharpened, her tone certain.

“I knew it.”

“They definitely wouldn’t pass up this opportunity.”

“The first wave of the Void Tide may only have ten thousand Void Creatures, but at this early stage, when the Newbie Stage isn’t even over, that’s a practically unstoppable super-army.”

Her tone shifted.

“But.”

“You actually won.”

“Not only did you handle the most troublesome part, the Void Tide, you also repelled the Evil God Players who wanted to take advantage of the situation.”

“Maybe… my cousin and I really shouldn’t have come here.”

“This was a huge loss.”

Qin Feng couldn’t help but tease:

“What?”

“If I hadn’t won,”

“were you going to play the hero, first helping me repel the Void Tide, and then helping me take out those Evil God Players?”

Su Mumu replied with a cold expression:

“Not exactly.”

“I would have only helped you repel the Evil God Players.”

“An enemy on the scale of the Void Tide is outside the scope of my investment.”

“You’re the one who didn’t tell me in advance.”

“I had no time to prepare.”

Qin Feng shrugged.

“So it’s my fault?”

Su Mumu answered without hesitation:

“It’s your fault.”

Qin Feng rubbed his nose.

“Fine, next time I’ll tell you everything in advance so you have time to prepare. That should work, right?”

Su Mumu nodded.

“Yes.”

“That would make my continued investment worthwhile.”

After a long silence, Qin Feng suddenly asked:

“Mumu, you and MC don’t have a Player Alliance yet, do you? Are you willing to join mine?”

Su Mumu’s tone was calm.

“Fine.”

“But first, tell me who you plan to pledge allegiance to.”

“If we want to join your Player Alliance, we have to pledge allegiance to the same Native Power as you. We can’t switch to a different faction.”

Qin Feng’s answer was crisp and clear:

“Myself.”

Su Mumu: “???”

“What do you mean?”

Hearing this, Qin Feng glanced at the army of Desert Giant Wolves assembled before the Archer Training Camp, and at the Ratman Warriors who had already mounted the wolves, ready to set out at a moment’s notice. He said slowly:

“I plan to establish a kingdom first, then pledge allegiance to myself until I win the faction victory in the ’King’s War Event’.”

“To become the first player faction’s Heaven’s Chosen Ruler.”

Su Mumu frowned.

“Are you crazy?”

But after a brief moment, she came to her senses, her tone softening slightly.

“Oh.”

“You’re not crazy.”

“As my valued investment, you managed to repel both the Void Tide and the Evil God Players, and you still have the strength to support other players’ territories.”

“It’s understandable that you’d want to establish your own kingdom and become an emperor.”

“Can I trust you?”

Qin Feng said with a serious expression:

“You can.”

Su Mumu replied immediately:

“Alright, then there’s no problem. My cousin and I will both join. You can just invite us to the alliance.”

Standing beside her, MC interjected hesitantly:

“Huh? We’re going with the hardest difficulty, the kingdom-building route? But I still want to get the Empire’s Dragon Rider units…”

Su Mumu shot him a cold glance.

“Denied.”

“Not allowed.”

“Wait until he conquers the Gulad Empire.”

“And incorporates the entire territory of the Gulad Empire into his own country.”

“Then you can turn around and pledge allegiance to those imperial nobles, and you’ll still be able to get their empire’s Dragon Rider barracks.”

MC had a look of utter despair.

“I give up!”

“Conquer the Gulad Empire?”

“When is that ever going to happen?”

“I’ve almost maxed out my favorability with the Duke of the Northern Territory! As soon as the ’Strongest Lord’ event ends, I can immediately unlock the Dragon Knight training barracks…”

Su Mumu looked at him expressionlessly and retorted faintly:

“And then?”

“Get crushed by me and Tingfeng?”

Hearing this, MC immediately let out a long sigh, placed a hand on his forehead, and struck a pose of deep-seated grief.

“Sigh.”

“In the blink of an eye.”

“Not only has my little cousin grown up,”

“she’s even gotten so good at siding with outsiders.”

“My life~”

“is so lonely and cold~”
