At the same time, Ke Silin also ended the battle with Saw Tree Lang. His winning method was very simple: pretend to be fighting the enemy endlessly, quietly take out a [Holy Grenade] and drop it, and then One second before the explosion, he used his skills to teleport to a hundred meters away, leaving Jianshu Lang in the center of the explosion.
This was the first time that Keslin used the [Holy Grenade]. The effect of this prop was so good that he was stunned: "The skeleton of that stag beetle is gone. It's a pity that such a powerful prop is too rare. Just use one. If one is missing, you won’t be able to buy it if you have money if the mall doesn’t sell new ones.”
"The five players and the five-person Zerg agent team should be fighting one-on-one. Now let's look at the other four... Huh?"
[Player Master Keslin exits the game]
[The script prop Snake Tooth Order is automatically and randomly transferred to a surviving player]
"Huh? The system reported exiting the game instead of being killed on the spot, which means that at least Keslin did not die directly at the hands of his enemy." Yun Ming looked at the status bar of his teammates. Keslin's ID was followed by two large red characters: Killed in Action .
"If it is a general death, the content of the global voice broadcast is death. There are not many situations where the system uses the word "exit the game". One is that Keslin was scared out by the horror elements in the script, and the other is that he was scared of something. For some personal reasons, he chose to take the initiative to go offline. There are no scary plots in this script until now. It is probably because Keslin suffered an injury during the battle that prevented him from continuing to complete the script. Although he was not injured, he had to return to the real world. Yun Ming finished his analysis and felt relaxed: "Fortunately, Ke Silin's death does not seem to be a problem with the difficulty of the script."
On the other side, Pu Che Shi is the surviving player who received the Snake Tooth Order.
"It's not good. Ke Silin must have been killed by a Zerg agent." Puche Shi was skeptical about whether they could pass the script: "We haven't even entered Ratman City yet, and one person was lost in the battle before the final battle started. .”
…………
Europe, Cornflower County, 8:15 am local time on September 3rd.
Koslin woke up from the big bed in his mansion in Stuttgart. He was forced to wake up. Someone took off the brainwave repeater when he logged into "Conquer the World" in sleep mode.
"Xina, if you don't give me a convincing enough reason, I will be angry." Keslin called the name of the only maid in the family who was allowed to enter his room, and sat up from the bed.
Then, Keslin saw a familiar figure moving a chair and sitting at the end of the bed, facing him face to face: "Good morning, my brother, when I opened my eyes, the person I saw was me instead of the graceful Miss Xina. This Will it make you feel unhappy?"
"Xius, you bastard, can you give me back my things?" Keslin reached out and asked his second brother for the brainwave repeater without politeness.
"Okay, but don't play with it if you get it. I know you are addicted, but now is not the time."
"From the moment you appeared in front of me, I have completely lost interest in playing games." Keslin lifted the quilt and prepared to get dressed: "I have already ran to Stuttgart, why are you still lingering? "
Hughes Lopez responded with an expression as if he had just heard a particularly funny joke: "Coslin, the distance between Stuttgart and Cologne is much closer than you think. If you really want to stay away from me, , I suggest you go and live on an uninhabited desert island in the Pacific Ocean on the back of the earth."
"That's not necessary. As long as you are willing, you will find me even if you dig deep into the ground." Keslin knew the temperament of his brother, who is also the patriarch of the Lopez family of this generation: "I don't have the temperament now. Destroy the tacit understanding between you and your eldest brother. The three brothers live in Berlin, Cologne, and Stuttgart, and no one disturbs the other."
"Don't hide your words, Keslin." Hughes was dissatisfied with the negative attitude of the brother in front of him: "Do you think I am willing to come here so early in the morning? I didn't sleep all night yesterday. Things in Southeast Asia are going to be hot. It’s amazing, I’ve been sending people to keep an eye on it, and I’ve been sitting in the study since midnight waiting for news.”
"Southeast Asia? A hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Western Europe, what is there that deserves your attention?"
"Joseph is dead."
"Uh...it's the one I know..."
"That's right, it's Joseph Chapman, one of the federal cabinet members." A few hours ago, Hughes finally confirmed that the news of the death was true after making many inquiries.
Ke Silin recovered from the shock: "Oh, it's a miracle that he can survive to this day at his age. He really takes a lot of divine mist potions..."
"He didn't die of old age, he was killed."
"Huh?" Keslin looked unbelievable, but Hughes nodded firmly: "It's a guy named Gordon Gardner, nicknamed God's Favored One, and I've heard of him before. I thought he was good for nothing but being rich, but I didn’t expect that this guy’s secrets were quite deep. Even people like Governor Palmer of Ten Thousand Islands County were pawns he pushed to the forefront.”
"What you're saying is that Southeast Asia is going to change?"
"Two mistakes. First, it is not just Southeast Asia that is changing, but the political and military management system of the entire Earth Federation; second, it is not that the sky is going to change, but it has already changed." Hughes educated his third brother on the past The beginning and end of the 24-hour coup in Bandar Seri Begawan: "I have to say that Gordon is very good at what he does. Now he is the talker in Southeast Asia."
Keslin was stunned by the continuous explosive inside news. He quickly sat down and listened carefully: "Joseph and his four heirs are dead? Then it is not the turn of an outsider like Gordon!"
When the Earth Federation was first established, and even now more than twenty years later, there was an embarrassing issue that was not put on the agenda for public discussion, and that was the issue of succession after the death of a federal cabinet member.
There is no objection to the first generation of federal cabinet sitting on the throne of power, because they are indeed worthy of it; and the development of medicine and the use of almost unlimited amounts of divine mist medicines have made the members of the first generation of cabinet live a long life, with the oldest Joseph died at the age of 110, and some doctors even predicted that he could live for another six months to three years.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. The first generation of cabinet members can bear it, but... what about their descendants?
The differences between "family world" and "public world" have never been unified, and each region has its own county sentiments. More than half of the cabinet members adopted the method of building a political family to maintain their influence in the federation; but Joseph chose the frank route without even pretending, and directly lost his four sons and returned to feudal society.
However, Joseph was not afraid of public outrage: first of all, he had an excellent political foundation in Southeast Asia; secondly, as the oldest man and the most likely to take a step ahead of other cabinet members, what he did in Southeast Asia In order to serve as a reference for others, everyone is waiting to see the final results of Joseph's perverse actions, and is concerned about whether they can be replicated in their own territories.
Then...the wishful thinking of a generation of cabinet members was shattered by Gordon Gardner who came out halfway. How to define his behavior? coup? uprising?
Anyway, Gordon himself defined this military operation as the latter. Joseph's black material was packaged and sent to major news industry giants around the world. In addition to undermining the legitimacy of the Chapman family's governance in Southeast Asia, he also created a wave of people who were righteous and exterminated relatives.
"Killing relatives out of justice?" Everyone in Kirslin was dumbfounded: "He is Joseph's illegitimate son?"
"It's not a secret. In the past year and a half, his four real children have been at war with each other. They have killed several brothers and sisters living among the people."
"No, what I mean is that if he says that he is Joseph's illegitimate son, will the top federal officials believe it?!"
Hughes handed over a tablet: "Of course that's impossible, but the results of the paternity test are very clear. He and Joseph are related by blood, and the federation has to admit it. The other information is also in it. You should read it first. Bar."
Keslin hurriedly read the ten lines at a glance: "So, Gordon Gardner has no problem in becoming the lord of Southeast Asia, both morally and legally."
"Yes, he will hold a press conference at eight o'clock in the evening local time to officially announce his succession."
"Is this why you came to me? To ask me to attend his press conference on your behalf?" Keslin calculated the time difference between the two places: "It's okay to go, but it's too late to fly."
"I want to ask you to attend on my behalf, but it's not a press conference." Hughes poked at the tablet, and a new document was opened: "I would like to go to Manila Fortress 5 to see the situation, Gordon This person cannot be bypassed no matter what."
"It's the fortress that was destroyed by the invasion of alien creatures a week ago. Why, didn't you firmly state in front of many cabinet members that you would not open a new Shenwu Well? This is the rhythm for you to break your promise. ah."
"No, I do not have the confidence and courage to stick to my promise in the future, but at least now I will fulfill my promise." A few days ago, on the night when Manila Fortress No. 5 was breached, Hughes was in a remote video conference with Joseph, Kimura Yankatsu and other cabinet members had an unhappy relationship over the development of Kamirijing (see Chapter 14 for details). To be honest, upon hearing the news of Joseph's death, Hughes was overjoyed in his heart. The fact that the two of them were at odds was well known to everyone at the top of the federation.
"Then what is your purpose?"
"There are three things in total, arranged in order of importance. One is to ask you to try Gordon's tone for me. The Lopez family has a transcendent status in the federation, and at the same time there is tension with the cabinet members because of the Shenwujing incident; When he first joined the cabinet, he was isolated and helpless for a while, so I wanted to try to make him an ally."
"The second is the Manila Fortress No. 5 that I just mentioned. I went there two years ago and used supernatural powers to stabilize and reinforce it. My power has always remained on Well No. 5, and it somehow made me and it have a relationship. This is the reason why I could immediately sense something happened to Fortress No. 5. But about eight hours ago, my blood link with Well No. 5 disappeared, and I want to know the answer."
"There's one last thing," Hughes hesitated for a moment and said something that Koslin had never heard of before: "The Candidate Game."
"Hmm...a new game? Which company released...Cross Century?" Of course Keslin misunderstood. The Cross Century he mentioned was the developer of "Conflict for Hegemony".
"No, you can think of it as a competition, and the winning prize is very generous." Hughes did not reveal much to his younger brother: "I am very concerned about this sudden rise of the favored person of God. Maybe he is my competitor. .”
"Keslin, I hope that your contact with him soon will add some more reliable information to me."
