CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: XINXIN IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE

Upon hearing Nanami’s question,

everyone’s face turned even more unsightly.

Nanami wasn’t in a hurry. Her cold gaze swept across the crowd.

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back and spoke first, "Huaxia has completely blocked cross-border teleportation, even stopped trading. Our people find it very difficult to conduct in-depth investigations. It’s guessed that it might be related to the upcoming national conflict, maybe Huaxia has some secret method to deal with it."

"Guessing? I’ve asked you to investigate for so long, and your results are based on guesses?" Nanami raised her eyebrows and asked.

The person’s face instantly turned sour, and they dared not make a sound.

Nanami looked at the crowd with a sneer and said, "A bunch of useless people! Huaxia is doing such massive work, surely it’s to keep something confidential, do you still need to guess?"

But as for what it is, no one knows.

Nowadays, professionals from other countries wishing to enter Huaxia can only do so through applying for immigration.

Even if they are granted temporary teleportation permissions, it’s in the capacity of special envoys.

They’re watched the entire time, with no opportunity for investigation.

"President, should we do something targeted to prevent Huaxia from turning over in the future?" someone suggested.

"Do what? You don’t know what they’re doing, nor can you teleport across countries. What do you want to do? What can you do?" Nanami retorted.

She was extremely dissatisfied with this bunch’s efficiency!

A bunch of useless people!

"Keep trying to find a way. If teleporting over isn’t possible, send someone to cross the Forbidden Sea and land in Huaxia. I must know what exactly Huaxia is up to!" Nanami pondered and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed.

Crossing the Forbidden Sea can indeed avoid the trouble of teleportation.

After all, Huaxia has no defenses in many coastal areas.

The Forbidden Sea is the best line of defense!

For human professionals wanting to cross the Forbidden Sea, the difficulty is immense, with a very high mortality rate!

Sending teams to cross the Forbidden Sea, complete annihilation isn’t an uncommon occurrence.

But upon hearing this, everyone still nodded one after another.

After all, it’s not them going; they’re sending people. As long as enough money is offered, there are always people willing to risk it!

"Before clarifying the investigation, don’t pay attention to Huaxia, focus on the U.S.A. They are our biggest opponent!" Nanami said.

Probably because the U.S.A. has cleared the current highest level team dungeon, the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

The U.S.A., with the Black Dragon Mountain Range equipment, can quickly gather a group of high combat professionals, which is the biggest threat to Japan!

As for Huaxia, regardless of what they’re up to, currently, it cannot stir up any waves!

Thus, Nanami disregarded Huaxia.

And in the Endless Tower ranking, Yu Qingcang, who once dominated the first place, was completely crushed by her.

In the short term, Yu Qingcang cannot clear the sixtieth floor!

At the same time.

The U.S.A., Russia, and the U.K., among other nations, are also busily investigating Huaxia.

The difference is that the U.S.A. wants to investigate, aside from Huaxia sealing their borders and all teleportation points, the information of the Undead Mage as well!

The opponent not only obtained the Crystal Skull from Hades, but also rose to the global ranking of the Endless Tower as an Undead Mage.

Such a person requires special attention!

Find out the identity of the opponent, either to exchange for Hades’ Crystal Skull, persuade them to join the U.S.A., or kill them outright to eliminate future troubles!

However, currently, no one can enter Huaxia through conventional means!

Back when Yu Qingcang made the urgent decision, it was very astute.

Otherwise, now within Huaxia’s main cities, spies from various countries would probably be wandering around investigating the Undead Mage.

Meanwhile.

After lunch, everyone planned to continue with the dungeon raids.

Qin Wuyao returned to the team arranged by Qin Lie to go to a level ten dungeon.

Lu Ran subconsciously headed towards the level twenty dungeon teleportation array.

But he was stopped by Liu Xinxin.

Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi also curiously looked at Liu Xinxin.

The latter was staring at the Endless Tower rankings, focusing on Nanami, who held first place,

musing, "Do you know why Nanami hasn’t continued climbing the floors?"

"Isn’t it obvious? Must be afraid to die. To surpass Yu by two floors and maintain first place is already the limit. Climbing further is too risky. If she dies, that would be interesting," Lei Tai assumed.

"That’s the idea, so I have a way to force her to continue climbing and take risks. If she unfortunately dies in the Endless Tower, that would be a huge blow to Japan!" Liu Xinxin pondered aloud.

Hearing this, Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai were bewildered.

Lu Ran also didn’t understand, asking in confusion, "She’s securely in first place, having surpassed Chairman Yu by two floors. She won’t continue climbing, how can we force her?"

Liu Xinxin chuckled softly.

Looking at Lu Ran, she said, "Use you to force her. From now on, every morning before dungeon raiding, enter the Endless Tower, and for efficiency, throw a Blood Spear and clear a floor, then leave and clear another floor in the evening."

This...

Lei Tai was somewhat baffled, asking in confusion, "What use is this? It doesn’t relate to Nanami; Lu Ran is only on the fiftieth floor, the gap is quite large. It’d be better for Lu Ran to continue charging upwards in one go for significant effect."

But at this moment.

Ye Hongyi suddenly understood, saying, "Instant pressure might not make Nanami willing to take risks, but gradually approaching crisis will torment her, increasing her psychological pressure until eventually she can’t stand it and is forced to climb!"

Hearing this, Lei Tai immediately understood as well.

And even the clueless Lu Ran was startled.

The few of them all looked at Liu Xinxin in unison.

Wow, the seemingly shy, always smiling Liu Xinxin, under the leadership of three guild presidents, possesses such deep thoughts!

Lu Ran is the only conventional profession in the global top thirty Endless Tower rankings, not even a rare profession!

Moreover, Lu Ran is the only one above who has hidden their personal information as a professional!

Climbing a floor in the morning, a floor in the evening, gradually closing the gap daily, this constant psychological pressure will surely drive Nanami crazy!

Simultaneously, this will spark global discussions, further applying pressure to Nanami.

When Lu Ran approaches or surpasses her, her psychological pressure will peak!

"If Nanami takes risks climbing and succeeds, then what?" Lei Tai asked.

"If she succeeds, Lu Ran will continue to crush her; if she fails, it’s an unexpected harvest. Regardless, her position as first in front of Lu Ran is untenable," Liu Xinxin immediately said.

Lei Tai couldn’t help but give Liu Xinxin a thumbs up.

Pondering, he said, "Xinxin, I’ve had little contact with you before; I underestimated you. If I upset you in the future, you must tell me, and I’ll change if I can."

His teasing tone elicited laughter from Ye Hongyi and the others.

But it was enough to demonstrate the shift in Lei Tai’s impression of Liu Xinxin.

Even Ye Hongyi couldn’t help but take another look at Liu Xinxin, who remained as shy and smiling as before.

But now, if you think about it, how could a shy, introverted girl make it to the top of Huaxia’s level rankings!

How could she preside over one of the Four Major Guilds, Mirror Flower Water Moon, as president!

"Alright, let’s not waste time. Lu Ran, you go ahead and clear the 51st floor. Once you’re done, let’s proceed to raid the level twenty dungeon," Liu Xinxin said with a smile to Lu Ran.
