Ye Yun's words made the motherboard fall into deep thought. After a while, the bespectacled man also showed a look of pleasant surprise: "It's really true! 20 Nuya, 4 Nuya controllers, this is the total force the mysterious organization has deployed this time!"

"What are you talking about?" Su Ya was still confused.

The motherboard explained: "A task that seems to have plenty of rewards and little punishment is, of course, not as simple as it appears on the surface. Su Ya, you know that this task is fundamentally impossible to complete. So why would the system give us such an impossible task? The fundamental reason is to test our investigative capabilities. However, this is just internal... The system is like a strict father testing his child's studies. No matter the final result, he will naturally raise his hand high but let it fall lightly. But externally, once the child faces the college entrance exam, even the strictest father will take out the real test answers and give them to the child. This is called hoping for the child to become a dragon."

"And the answer is in the task evaluation."

"According to the leader, four Nuya were found in the subway tunnel before. When we were tracking Zhang Yafen, we encountered two more. So the total number of Nuya discovered is six, and the Nuya controller is only Zhang Yafen."

"Based on the percentage completion hint given by the task evaluation, the number of Nuya is naturally 20, and the Nuya controllers are four!"

"This is giving us the enemy's numbers before the major battle, so we can be cautious!"

The motherboard spoke enthusiastically and then looked at Ye Yun: "Leader, am I right?"

Ye Yun nodded.

His view was similar to the motherboard's, but he still had a question in his heart: Is the system really as simple as it appears?

If you think about it carefully, what if the game system only has the ability to 'infer'?

Suppose the system itself does not know the number of enemies, but it has the ability to deduce the true number of enemies based on the known number of enemies. In that case, sending players to investigate is quite necessary. By having players investigate the number of enemies, the system can complete the deduction and infer the true number of enemies.

This is a bit like... the law of causality?

Of course, how it is doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that this information will inevitably cause a storm in both camps...

Right?

In Ye Yun's understanding, this number of Nuya is not something a single camp can handle. Even if a man like Zhang Yusheng can defeat two Nuya alone, among all the strong players in both camps, only Zhang Yusheng gave him an extraordinary feeling. If he had to compare Zhang Yusheng to someone, the only person Ye Yun could think of was the red-haired woman and the black version of Chen Guohan with the building demolition hammer in the Dihao Hotel incident.

So Ye Yun felt that both T and CT should immediately put aside their differences and join forces to face the enemy.

However, the reality was far from that simple. Ten minutes after receiving the task completion hint, there was still no update from Roger in the headphones.

Ye Yun turned back, somewhat surprised: "Motherboard, is our communication signal bad?"

"No, the signal is good, five bars."

"How can this be?" Ye Yun frowned.

Then he understood Roger's reason for holding back... You CT want to fight two major enemies alone? How about I give you all 20 Nuya? You have to complete the task anyway, right?

Thinking about this, Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh. Regardless of whether CT has the ability to defeat the Nuya, just the sheer number of Nuya appearing at the concert would be terrifying.

Ye Yun's expression turned grim.

Knock, knock, knock~

A pale hand gently tapped on the car window. The three people inside followed the finger and immediately, both the motherboard and Su Ya turned pale.

Cang Xing...

This man, like a venomous snake, really instilled a great sense of fear in everyone!

Just yesterday, many people saw with their own eyes that a tough criminal provoked this man who always smiled and seemed to never get angry. The result was that the criminal was easily defeated by this man with narrow eyes and a gentle smile, and then he was cruelly skinned, his tendons pulled out, and his internal organs removed and placed in a glass jar filled with formaldehyde... Cang Xing, a lieutenant, personally admitted that he would donate these organs to a nearby hospital. As for the elimination of the dead from the game, that was no problem; the formaldehyde in the glass jar was provided by the system.

Since that day, there were only a dozen or so people who could encounter Cang Xing without fear.

Ye Yun rolled down the window and said calmly: "It's you?"

Cang Xing smiled: "It's me."

Ye Yun asked: "What's up?"

Cang Xing smiled: "I have a suggestion for you."

Ye Yun said: "I thought you were at Anyun Road. Did you cross the entire Hung Hom just to give me a suggestion?"

Cang Xing smiled deeply: "Don't you want to hear it? It's about your little girlfriend."

"I don't have a girlfriend," Ye Yun's face turned cold: "But if you want to cause her trouble, you'd better think twice. At least tonight, if you touch her, I'll kill you."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." Cang Xing shrugged: "But just because I don't go after her or them doesn't mean others won't."

Ye Yun snorted: "With CT around, even the leader Roger hasn't said anything. Do we have any room to interfere?"

Cang Xing laughed: "I don't remember when you became Roger's dog."

Ye Yun was quite impatient: "What do you want to say?"

Cang Xing said: "I suggest you go and protect them immediately. It's still in time."

Ye Yun frowned: "I said, if there's danger, CT will act first."

"What if CT doesn't act?"

"What did you say!?"

Ye Yun's eyes blazed, staring straight at Cang Xing: "How do you know they won't act?"

Cang Xing smiled: "Alright, I'll give you another hint: task punishment."

Ye Yun couldn't understand his meaning and asked curiously: "Why don't you tell Roger directly?"

Cang Xing shrugged and turned to leave, his voice echoing from a distance: "Since I don't plan to follow his orders, why should I tell him so much? I just think you have a good vibe, and I don't want you to die for no reason."

"Ridiculous."

Ye Yun closed the window and saw Su Ya looking at him with admiration: "What's up?"

Su Ya clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes sparkling: "Leader, you're so amazing. Cang Xing is so terrifying, and you can talk to him calmly, and... "

She imitated Ye Yun's tone to the air beside her: "At least tonight, if you touch her, I'll kill you."

"Wow! So cool! So dominant!"

"Are you crazy?" Ye Yun couldn't understand her and gestured to the motherboard, who was also looking at him with enthusiasm: "Get to work."

"Yes..."

After dismissing the two, Ye Yun began to think about Cang Xing's words.

Clearly, the key points in his words were only two: 'CT won't act' and 'task punishment'.

The relationship between these two was obvious. If CT doesn't act and lets the mysterious organization take what they want from SGirl, everyone's task will naturally fail. At that time, even without a new task, just the penalties on Ye Yun's Intervention (Total) and Intervention (Two) would cost him 18,000 game points and two B-level merit badges.

Of course, Ye Yun naturally scoffed at Cang Xing's statement that he didn't want to see him die for no reason. Paying these penalties with his wealth was no problem, but who wants to be penalized for no reason?

But why wouldn't CT act?

Clearly, the number of players in both camps in this mainline event was more than in any previous major event. CT openly declared that he would single-handedly challenge T and the mysterious organization, two powerful enemies. If he didn't act behind the scenes, the mysterious organization would succeed, and many T camp players would be kicked out of the game for failing to pay the fines. But wouldn't the same be true for the numerous players in the CT camp? Could CT not act just to have the system eliminate a large number of T camp players? But that would also result in a large number of eliminations from his own camp!

Of course, the CT leadership could pay the fines for ordinary players, but that would be a cost beyond what ordinary people could afford.

For the motherboard and Su Ya, these two were part of the 300 players in the T camp, ordinary soldiers. But the combined penalties for their tasks were 13,000 game points and one B-level merit badge! Despite their admiring expressions just now, they were undoubtedly very worried about the issue of CT not acting.

No one in the CT camp could afford the millions in fines!

So, was it worth sacrificing hundreds of CT lives to eliminate hundreds of T players?

If CT deliberately failed the task just to have some T camp players eliminated, that would be incredibly stupid. Ye Yun firmly believed that the Chagui Team, led by Roger, wouldn't be affected by a penalty of less than 20,000 points...

Ye Yun suddenly realized, his hair standing on end, a fear like being doused in lava suddenly covering every pore of his body!

"Turns out the information I missed just now was this! My God!"

"CT... as ruthless and cunning as ever!"
