Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1884: Chapter 1888: Who Wins This Time?

In Number Two’s confused gaze, the Lord forced himself to wake up again.

However, this time he was unconscious for about 0.3 seconds longer than the last time.

Although no one noticed or cared about this moment, it etched in his heart like a brand!

Lu Xiaobu! Lu Xiaobu!

At this moment, at this moment, you, Lu Xiaobu, are my primary target to crush!

Yes, because of that pathetic and unloved fool remark, the Lord’s hatred for Lu Xiaobu surpassed Lin Feng, ranking at the top!

Lin Feng’s mockery and insults at least had the stance of an opponent, while Lu Xiaobu was a downright despicable person, or rather, a scoundrel!

”Put these two pieces of writing away. When I crush these two rats, I will personally stick them on their faces!” the Lord said darkly.

He hadn’t even realized that even though he still referred to them as little rats, his attitude had become incredibly serious!

He now considered them true enemies, no longer approaching them with the superior cat-toying-with-mouse attitude!

This attitude had already cost him dearly twice. As a natural-born hero, though he still held a superior tone, his heroic essence had prompted him to change!

These were two real opponents who could truly arm-wrestle with him!

”Yes!”

Number Two’s spirit jolted, and she immediately responded.

Then she continued to ask, ”Your Majesty, should we have the guards re-enter that layer of the Spirit Realm to monitor everything?”

”No, not necessary. If the guards hadn’t withdrawn, fine, but once they exit, re-entering by force would only push them toward those two little rats,” the Lord shook his head in refusal.

”My strategy isn’t wrong in the greater direction; it was my preconceived notions that led to the wrong judgment, resulting in my premature confidence when they first entered the game, causing this humiliation.”

”Just as they say, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Anger blinded my eyes, but now I won’t be rushing anymore!”

”These two little rats will eventually enter the game again, so I’ll wait for them, watch them. While anger may blind my eyes, likewise, something will blind them too.”

”That would be their competition with each other, just as they see me as merely a tiger blocking their way, like I don’t care about them.”

”I’m not only putting huge pressure on them but also blocking their path toward each other in battle, which is why the two of them joined forces to attack me.”

”Once I temporarily step back, they will kill each other, both in reality and the Spirit Realm! Blood will spill, blood will flow, and they will not rest until one is dead!”

”Therefore, I don’t need to interfere too much now, I just need to step in at the right time with the right intervention.”

The Lord’s voice grew colder, more rational, and fainter, giving a sense of vagueness, as if it was not a human voice.

After two setbacks, the Lord finally sobered up, no longer obsessed with face and humiliation, recalling the saying ”those who laugh last” again.

Number Two listened quietly, knowing these words were not meant for her but were merely the Lord talking to himself.

At this moment, she felt that wise and clever, heavens-strategist Lord had returned.

...

Lin Island.

Lin Feng returned, still in the laboratory.

But after returning, his eyes were still unfocused, thinking and recalling something in his mind.

He was recalling each of Lu Xiaobu’s reactions in the Spirit Realm.

While recalling, he wrote a few names on a piece of paper.

Chong Island, Demon Island, Feihu Island, Steering Island.

After writing, Lin Feng kept drawing circle after circle around these names on the paper with his pen.

After pondering for a long, long time, Lin Feng picked up his pen again, hesitated for a moment, and wrote another name—Sword Island!

After writing it down, Lin Feng tapped on that name a few times, leaving several ink dots.

No one knew what those dots meant.

But after writing, Lin Feng casually pinned the paper to the wall beside him.

After doing all this, Lin Feng’s eyes regained focus, he smiled, stood up, poured himself a glass of red wine, and meticulously cut a cigar, ceremoniously lighting it with three matches.

Finally!

He squatted on the chair with the cigar.

Yes, squatted!

This bad habit began after he was once fooled by Lu Xiaobu, only to become more accustomed to this awkward posture when smoking cigars.

It seemed this posture allowed him to understand Lu Xiaobu more deeply and deduce the things he wanted to know.

As a thick puff of smoke turned into a smoke ring and was exhaled, Lin Feng smiled and spoke: ”I wonder whether that Watchdog will first look at the note I left, or the one left by Lu Xiaobu?”

”There’s no need to guess, Lu Xiaobu will definitely leave words that stab at the heart, aiming to provoke extreme anger in the Watchdog, even causing a reckless release of rage. Only by doing so can the Watchdog become a disruptive presence, hiding the expression changes of the actual target he’s attacking.”

”Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, this is truly a gamble on luck. If he reads your note first, he will naturally be enraged, his ego completely bursting, and when he reads mine, he’ll look at it with angry eyes!”

”But if he reads my note first, it will give him a buffering period, allowing him to absorb my words and understand what he needs to do, returning to a state of extreme calm.”

”If that’s the case, then your plan fails, as someone who plans to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight will not help you fish in troubled waters. Let’s see how you disguise your position then!”

Lin Feng spoke to himself, laughing out loud.

This is also a confrontation, but one purely relying on luck.

He and Lu Xiaobu haven’t had such pure luck-dependent games very often.

Mainly because they couldn’t find a game that relied purely on luck, and the Lord embodied this trait.

Betting on him personally was indeed a game purely of luck; after all, once tricks were employed, it would drag him in, making the situation even more chaotic.

This time, who will win?!
