Chapter 128: Chapter 127: League 13, Trick the Dog

Mi Nuo took the badge and pinned it on her chest, giving Qu Tong a glance, "Pleasure doing business, don’t forget the reward."

"I guarantee it with Prince Yuting’s reputation." Qu Tong replied, smiling like Mi Nuo had.

Mi Nuo and the others were also amused; evidently, Mi Nuo had considerable influence in the team, and no one opposed her decision.

The two groups put past grievances aside with a smile and began discussing tactics.

After some deliberation, they decided to employ a cunning plan.

During the discussion, Mi Nuo specifically turned off the live stream’s audio pickup.

The audience outside the live stream was both curious and anxious.

All they could see were the incredulous expressions of Mi Nuo and the others, while Fei Wenxing’s and Cheng Yao’s expressions were even more animated.

One moment their mouths hung open in surprise, the next they smirked sinisterly; they frowned, and then again gave a thumbs up.

When the sound came back on, the two teams had already gone their separate ways.

As everyone’s view followed Qu Tong’s live stream, Mi Nuo had already started to stir up trouble with her own team.

It wasn’t until Qu Tong and the others started to make a fire to barbeque meat that the live stream viewers became confused.

[Ah! I’m so curious about what incredible strategy they’ve discussed; now they’re so leisurely grilling meat!]

[Hey, dude! This is a competition, okay? Show some respect for those teams bravely fighting Star Beasts!]

[Although you’re lucky and have a high score, is it really okay to be so brazen?]

[I feel like they’re holding back a big move, I’m dying of curiosity, it’s unbearable!]

[Just going to work today was bothering me, being left in the dark during a live stream is even more annoying.]

[It was already annoying that my roommate got a date.]

[It was already annoying that I failed my driving test.]

[It was already annoying that the price of peanuts went up.]

[It was already annoying that I choked on water.]

[It was already annoying to pee on my hand at midday.]

...

The live stream began to be filled with a formation of barrage comments.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Mi Nuo hadn’t gone far when she encountered a team of comparable strength from the Second Military Academy.

The leader, a man with dark skin, was complaining, "Damn it, how come such an F-rank noob is so hard to find? Hope another team hasn’t beaten us to it."

His teammate joined in, "Definitely not, isn’t their team’s ranking still hanging there on the scoreboard?"

When Mi Nuo’s team appeared in front of the dark-skinned man, both sides were on guard.

Mi Nuo took the initiative to put down her weapon and asked, "Are you also going after the team ranked seventh?"

"So what if we are?" The dark-skinned man, seeing that a girl was speaking, replied with some disdain.

A junior beside him tugged at the man’s sleeve and whispered something; only then did the dark-skinned man notice Mi Nuo’s badge and his disdainful look became slightly diminished.

"Let me give you a piece of advice, don’t go alone, they’ve found reinforcements." Mi Nuo seemed completely unaware of their subtle actions and kindly advised.

"How do you know?"

"Ha? Of course, because I just came back from there. With such a hefty bounty, who wouldn’t want to try against a team with just 3 A-rank members?"

Mi Nuo spoke frankly and didn’t forget to add with regret.

"10 bottles of Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion aren’t so easy to get? They’re not fools either, they know to seek alliances with other teams."

Mi Nuo’s teammate echoed, "They’ve got five S-rank players as helpers; just your team alone won’t cut it. Don’t waste your time."

As they were speaking, Mi Nuo and her team prepared to leave.

The man with the dark skin quickly stopped them, "You just ran into that team from the First Military Academy."

"Yep," Mi Nuo and her teammates nodded in unison.

"You’re also here for those ten Intermediate Mind Stabilizing Potions?" the dark-skinned man asked again for confirmation.

"What else?"

After murmuring softly with his teammates, the dark-skinned man eventually said to Mi Nuo, "It’s a shame to let a fat sheep slip through our fingers like this. Are you sure you want to give up?"

Mi Nuo displayed a look of great reluctance laced with helplessness, "What else can we do? We can’t beat both teams."

"They can look for allies, and so can we. Why don’t you take us there, and we can deal with them together. They only said eliminating the team in seventh place would get everyone a potion; they didn’t set a limit on the number of people. Even if there are just ten potions, getting five per team isn’t a bad deal," the dark-skinned man suggested just at the right moment.

Though this was precisely what Mi Nuo wanted, she still made a show of discussing it with her teammates, and eventually agreed with feigned reluctance.

Someone in the team couldn’t help but express their dissatisfaction in cooperation, "I was wondering how an F-rank led team could be in seventh place, turns out they were using these underhanded methods. They should’ve been disqualified a long time ago."

This made the dark-skinned man even more convinced that Mi Nuo’s team was just full of self-righteous youngsters.

The dark-skinned man followed Mi Nuo cautiously to Qu Tong and his team’s location.

"Why do I smell roasted meat?" As they sniffed the aroma in the air. their appetites were whetted.

"They probably brought Purification Liquid and are grilling meat. But this is good for us—we can ambush them while they’re distracted," Mi Nuo said.

However, upon arriving, they saw only Qu Tong and his seven teammates barbecuing, which confused them, "Didn’t you say they got an alliance team? Where are they?"

"Right here," Mi Nuo suddenly kicked the dark-skinned man out.

With a resounding "Bang!" Qu Tong piled on the damage.

"We’ve been tricked!" exclaimed the teammate of the man with dark skin.

It was too late, though. The ones standing close were either shot or had their badges ripped off by Mi Nuo’s teammates, and emergency buttons were pressed.

Four managed to summon their Mechas in time, but in the fight against greater numbers, they still fell short.

Qu Tong was worried they wouldn’t accept defeat and would resist.

He had already got Xu An to tie up the eliminated ones and gag them as well.

The team took down a rather strong opponent without breaking a sweat, gaining 100 points each.

The teammates of the dark-skinned man were still furiously writhing on the ground, trying to make some sort of plea through their muffled voices, but Mi Nuo rewarded them only with eight words, "Victors reign, the defeated should keep their mouths shut."

The dark-skinned man was filled with rue; he had already been cautious enough, not being from the same academy.

If they had proposed the cooperation, he would have been suspicious, but they had deceived him into taking the initiative.

The allure of the Mind Stabilizing Potions was just too tempting.

"This is a good method!" Mi Nuo praised while eating barbecue.

When facing teams of similar strength, getting points from them isn’t easy, and they might even end up losing members.

But with this strategy, they hardly had any losses; they could earn quite a lot of points in one day.

And there were also Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potions to be had—truly a no-risk bargain.

Repeating the strategy over and over, Mi Nuo’s deceptive words attracted and "killed" the slightly stronger nearby teams.

The weaker teams were taken out directly.

With Qu Tong’s team as bait, they gained points more easily and abundantly than by killing Star Beasts.

They even deliberately let two teams go to spread the word that Qu Tong’s team had sought help.

Only, the news they spread was that Qu Tong had allied with the team that was in second place in the competition.
