I Can Control Resources

Gao Neng really wanted to curse someone out.

But he calmed down almost immediately.

Because he knew full well that the more critical the moment, the more he needed to stay calm...

’Once, Twice, Thrice!’

He had done this mission before.

’So, could this be considered a starting point?’

Gao Neng recalled the details carefully. He remembered that the target of the mission back then was Shen Ning’Er, and the requirement was to take her down one more time.

’Right! Ning’Er and I had an agreement for a duel. The terms were that if I could defeat her, I could push her over... Would that count as a variant of Once, Twice, Thrice?’

’Wait, if it were about taking down Shen Ning’Er, it should have been Once, Twice, Thrice (Ultimate Mission)...’ Gao Neng quickly dismissed the idea.

He remembered a mission he had triggered with Shen Ning’Er at the Eastern Capital Military Academy called "Three Days and Three Nights," which had been related to a previous mission.

’A variant?’

’It must be referring to someone else!’

’And I must have already taken this person down twice!’

Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from above the pool.

"Reporting to the Clan King, the Dark Night Elf Clan’s Seven—" The voice stopped abruptly, as if the speaker had some reservations.

’Is the real Seventh Princess coming?’ An image quickly surfaced in Gao Neng’s mind. He had once captured the Seventh Princess, Wu Dingxiang, within the Dark Night Elf Clan’s territory.

’I can’t believe that scheming bitch is here again.’

Although Gao Neng had known all along that the Seventh Princess, Wu Dingxiang, and Mu Feifei were on their way to the Blood Race, he never expected it to be such a coincidence.

He had just taken over the Blood Race...

And these two were coming to offer themselves up?

Heh heh...

’Should I take this opportunity to settle the deep-seated grudge from the Eastern District Battlefield?’

Wait!

Seventh Princess Wu Dingxiang!

Once, Twice, Thrice (Variant)?!

’Could it be her?!’ Gao Neng’s eyes suddenly lit up. If he remembered correctly, he really had taken Wu Dingxiang down twice before.

Once was outside the Dark Night Elf Clan’s Royal City.

He and Fang Tangtang had knocked Wu Dingxiang to the ground. Afterward, he had carried her and snuck into the Celestial Race’s Royal City.

The second time was when Wu Dingxiang was seeking a marriage partner under the Great Ancient Tree of the Elf Race.

’That time, I think I tackled Wu Dingxiang into a cold pond?’

’And even groped her hard a few times!’

’Right?’

’That’s right. Once, Twice, Thrice (Variant) has to be referring to Wu Dingxiang.’ At this thought, Gao Neng couldn’t hold back any longer.

He paid no mind to Fang Tangtang and Xu Zilan.

He leaped directly from the pool back onto the surface of the water.

And there on the surface, a Blood Race Warrior was half-kneeling before Clan King Blood Spray, slowly backing away, his eyes filled with terror.

"Where is Wu Dingxiang?" Gao Neng asked the moment he leaped out of the water.

"Ah?" The Blood Race Warrior was startled.

"I’m asking you, where is the Seventh Princess of the Dark Night Elf Clan? Has she arrived at the Blood Race Royal City?" Having heard Xu Zilan’s explanation, Gao Neng naturally wasn’t afraid of the other Blood Race members turning on him.

"This..."

"Just answer his questions," Clan King Blood Spray said, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Yes, a sentry reported! That Dark Night Elf... no, that *fake* Seventh Princess of the Dark Night Elf Clan and the *fake* Ninth Princess of the Celestial Race have reached a position ten miles outside the Royal City!" After seeing Gao Xiaomeng and Gao Neng, the Blood Race Warrior immediately added the word "fake" in front of "Seventh Princess" and "Ninth Princess."

One had to admit, this Warrior’s will to live was quite strong.

But Gao Neng couldn’t care less.

’What a coincidence!’

’They’re here so soon?’

"Ahem... Princess, uh... I once had an agreement with the Clan King of the High Mountain Race to have him keep Mu Fei... oh, wait, the fake Ninth Princess and her companion for two nights. So, these two who are arriving now are, nine times out of ten... no, they are *definitely* fakes!" a Blood Race Elder said, standing up after glancing at Clan King Blood Spray.

"I’m the fake one," Gao Neng said, looking at the Blood Race Elder.

"..." The Blood Race Elder was speechless.

"You can’t resist anyway, so there’s no need for us to keep up the act. Wu Dingxiang and Mu Feifei are here to see the Fourth Prince, Xue Ruyu. However, Xue Ruyu has already been killed by the White-faced King. So, what do you plan to do now?" Gao Neng continued, waving his hand dismissively.

"Ahem..." The Blood Race Elder coughed twice and shut his mouth.

"..." Clan King Blood Spray clenched his jaw again.

"Gao Neng, just tell us what you need them to do," Bloodthirst said, his eyes narrowing. He was the first to finally break the barrier between the two sides.

"Mm. Since they’re here, there are only two options. The first is to send them back. Out of sight, out of mind. The second is to find someone to impersonate the Fourth Prince, Xue Ruyu, and go through with this meeting," Gao Neng said with a nod.

"Sending them back... might be better," the Blood Race Elder said, tilting his head back.

"I hear word of Fourth Prince Xue Ruyu’s invitation has already spread throughout the alien races. If Wu Dingxiang just goes back for no clear reason, what will the other alien races think?"

"This..."

"If I’m not mistaken, word that the Blood Race has been brought under control will spread within a month at most. When that happens, how will the Blood Race maintain its standing in the Alien Race Alliance Army?" Gao Neng asked, looking around.

"What’s there to maintain? We haven’t betray— Alright, Gao Neng, what are you getting at? Do you want to find someone to impersonate the Fourth Prince?" The Blood Race Elder started to argue, but then abruptly changed his tune.

"Mm," Gao Neng nodded again.

"Then who should we find? We’ve had very little contact with Wu Dingxiang..."

"Me."

"Huh?"

"I’ll impersonate the Fourth Prince. You will all cooperate with me and put on a show," Gao Neng stated directly.
