Chapter 2020 - 2013: Mingyang’s Skills
"It seems you have a plan?" Zhang Menglong could hear something in his tone; this Mingyang definitely had something up his sleeve, and probably quite a lot!
"Let me first analyze what you need to face if you want to steal that Ice Demon Flower," Mingyang said, "First, you must face the onslaught of all the Ice Demon Race people, which I don’t need to elaborate on, right? At the same Life Levels, this race’s combat power is almost 5 to 10 times that of us humans!"
"Second, you have to find a way to break into their Ice King City. Any outsider entering the Giant City will directly trigger the protective system of the Giant City; you will definitely be discovered, so you must find a way to break in!"
"Third, even if you manage to deal with the Ice Demon Race’s onslaught and break into their Ice King City, what you have to face next is most likely their guardian beast, the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, which is even more formidable than the Azure Dragon of our Aiville City."
"Fourth, even if you dodge the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, getting close to the Ice Demon Flower is still fraught with danger. As the most important thing, only very important figures among the Ice Demon Race can approach it!"
"If you mention a fifth point, I think I won’t have much confidence left." Zhang Menglong showed a helpless bitter smile.
"Hahaha, you don’t need to be so pessimistic," Mingyang said, "Actually, these matters can be resolved. It’s just that ordinary people don’t have that capability. I think you’re the kind of person who does!"
"It seems you already have some ideas." Zhang Menglong looked thoughtfully at Mingyang; his thinking was clear and logically meticulous, not at all like the hooligan others said he was. Instead, he seemed like a man hidden in the city, and Zhang Menglong even suspected that the persona he usually displayed was a mask to conceal himself.
"Firstly, to infiltrate the Ice Demon Race, you must possess their aura and appearance!"
"I have a way," Zhang Menglong said, "As long as I have anything from the Ice Demon Race, whether blood or hair, I can create a Genetic Potion of the Ice Demon Race to make my body indistinguishable from theirs!"
At the Super God Academy, Zhang Menglong could exchange for various bloodlines, but this world’s bloodlines were not included in the bloodline roster of the Super God Academy, so Zhang Menglong had to create one himself.
"Samples of foreign DNA aren’t available anywhere in this city unless you venture into the Ice Demon Race’s territory to kill someone, but that’s too risky and might bring unnecessary trouble."
"Can you get it?" Zhang Menglong asked directly.
"Yes!" Mingyang nodded, "I know a collector from the Great City of Aiville. His hobby is collecting things from different races around the world, whether their genetic samples or other things, he collects them. Unless it’s some very special race, he should have a genetic sample of the Ice Demon Race in his collection."
"Then this problem is solved," Zhang Menglong said. As long as he can simulate the appearance of the Ice Demon Race, infiltrating them, and even entering the Ice King City shouldn’t be too big of an issue. Next is how to gain the trust of the Ice Demon Race.
It’s well-known that every race has a core circle. To squeeze into this core circle, one either possesses first-tier strength or has made great contributions to the entire race. Otherwise, why should one be allowed into the core?
An inexplicable person suddenly appearing may attract significant attention, even if they are strong, so the way Zhang Menglong makes his appearance is crucial.
"I have an idea, but it’s somewhat difficult to achieve!" Mingyang said.
"Let’s hear it?"
"Create a disaster for the entire Ice King City, strong enough to cause a lot of trouble for them but not so severe that it triggers the Ice Wing Dragon Bat to act!"
"Isn’t that too difficult?" Zhang Menglong understood his meaning. This required him to direct and act out a play where he would appear as a Savior, gaining the trust and goodwill of the Ice Demon Race in the process.
"Firstly, the displayed power cannot exceed the limits of the Dao Realm. If the power of a guardian beast appears, the Ice Wing Dragon Bat will definitely show up immediately. I have a suggestion," Mingyang said, "I know of a summoning scroll that can summon a powerful Warcraft army. The individual strength can reach thousands of times the Dao Realm’s peak, with numbers in the tens of billions!"
"That powerful?" Zhang Menglong exclaimed in surprise.
"Heh heh, I bet, apart from me, only the City Lord knows about this in the entire Giant City. It’s the most precious thing in a drifter’s possession, allegedly brought while escaping from another race."
"If you say so," Zhang Menglong’s eyes lit up, "Do you know where there is a Warcraft of the Insect Clan? The more, the better!"
"Why are you looking for the Insect Clan?" Mingyang asked curiously.
"That’s not your concern. Do you have any leads? The stronger the individual strength, the better, and the more the merrier; I have use for them!"
"Oh?" Mingyang’s eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, "How coincidental! The collector I know indeed has a very large map, which encompasses the entire world’s race and Warcraft distribution. Of course, getting it depends on your ability!"
"There’s hope!" Zhang Menglong was overjoyed. Hadn’t he just acquired a Jin Kela? Gou Dan said it was although somewhat juvenile, inherently the king of the Insect Clan, and any Warcraft not exceeding the Supreme Demon Beast level of the Insect Clan would find it hard to escape its control.
If I could lead a massive army of Insect Clan Warcraft, even if I couldn’t annihilate their Ice Demon Race, I could definitely cause them a lot of trouble, no? Then I would descend like a divine weapon, saving Ice King City from disaster; hehe...
"Then finally, how do you deal with the Ice Wing Dragon Bat!" Mingyang raised the question, "Even if you get the Ice Demon Flower, the Ice Wing Dragon Bat will stop at nothing to prevent your escape!"
"In this world, only a guardian beast can counter a guardian beast!"
"You mean I have to find another race’s guardian beast to help me? Why would they help me?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"Well, that depends on your ability," Mingyang said, "I can give you another piece of information: no one can order a guardian beast, but they somewhat heed the orders of each Giant City’s City Lord. In other words, if you can convince the City Lord of the Giant City to help you, you’re in!"
"But I’m not related to the City Lord of the Giant City at all..."
"Hehe, I haven’t finished yet! The existence of a Giant City is for a race’s development. Every City Lord prioritizes the race’s development as the first priority. If you have the capability to bring them enough benefits, you might win them over!"
"Oh?" Zhang Menglong’s eyes immediately lit up. This information is worth a fortune!
A grand scheme was forming in Zhang Menglong’s mind. If executed properly, he might just manage to complete this near-impossible task!
