Chapter 2713: Good Big Brother? No! Good Big Pot
Tianli had barely struggled through this wave and was about to say some harsh words to salvage some lost face!
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the groundhog-like scream coming from the Matter Alliance!
A stomach full of harsh words was forcefully choked back!
The Matter Alliance completely exploded. How could they still fight the angels? All their assets had been stripped away!
They charged aggressively toward the battlefield!
Ming Sha couldn't hold back any longer!
(|||థyiథ)σ "Silicon! Gang Xiu! I'm asking you, where is our Matter Alliance's base planet?"
"Where did it go? Speak! Tell me!"
The Matter Alliance was completely furious. They didn't care about any "big brother" nonsense anymore, even using "I" in the arrogant form!
Hearing the Matter Alliance's questioning, Gang Xiu frowned!
[┐･ˇ_ˇ･┌] "Base planet? Naturally, it's being temporarily stored in our Silicon position! Why do you ask?"
"And! Watch your tone, don't you know who's in charge here?"
Xian Guo was already crazy with anger:
(งᵒyiᵒ)ง "Tone? Screw your tone! Stored in your Silicon position?"
"Where did you store it? Why did all our Matter Alliance's points become one thousand points?"
"And the Carbon Alliance clearly didn't capture any base planets in this battle, yet they inexplicably gained so many points?"
"You tell me, where did our base planets go?"
Jiangnan looked at the Matter Alliance in shock, then confusedly at Gang Xiu, his face full of bewilderment!
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "You didn't tell them before? Oh~ I see. Hmph~"
Gang Xiu: [┐'_'┌] ???
Tell them what?
And with Xian Guo's furious roar, the ten thousand races in the Sea of Star Embers finally noticed the strange changes on the points rankings!
Silicon had become number one, but although they had captured quite a few base planets from Bose, the total points change wasn't huge, not much increase!
The Carbon Alliance hadn't taken any from Bose, but their total points had increased significantly, not far behind Silicon!
Bose truly had been robbed poor, yet even so, their total points was still in third place, though incomparable to Carbon Alliance and Silicon!
As for the Matter Alliance, it was even worse. All members uniformly had one thousand points, dead last!
No matter how things changed, it couldn't end up like this!
Even Tianli was confused for a moment. What's happening? Am I seeing things? No way?
Gu Qiong was furious:
☚꒰▼yi▼#꒱ "Speak! Where the hell did you take our base planets?"
"Where are our points?"
At this moment, Gang Xiu was also stunned. He first checked the hiding spots and was shocked to find that all the Matter Alliance's base planets were gone, along with a batch of his own!
The reason they hadn't gained much despite capturing so many Bose clan planets was that they had inexplicably lost a batch of their own!
Even more terrifying, searching through all Silicon position databases, there was no record whatsoever of how the planets were lost!
It was as if they had evaporated into thin air. Then thinking about the extra points the Carbon Alliance had...
A simple calculation revealed the truth!
Everything they lost had ended up in the Carbon Alliance points pool!
Gang Xiu's eyes widened:
[┐ఠyiఠ┌] "Jiangnan? Did you send people to steal from our position while we attacked the Bose position?"
"Good! Very good! You really are calculating! Feigning attack on the east while attacking the west? Pretending to repair the plank road while secretly advancing through Chencang, right? We hid them so securely, how did you find them?"
"Why is there no record in our databases? What method did you use? The base planets disappeared without anyone noticing! This familiar technique..."
"Jiangnan! The disappearance of the Universe Seed couldn't possibly be unrelated to humanity, could it?"
Silicon pointed the spearhead directly at humanity. At this moment, everyone's gaze focused on Jiangnan!
Tianli's gaze froze, and Qian Li's eyes also turned dangerous, directly drawing his ten-colored longsword!
What does this mean? Silicon position's base planets were stolen? Right while they were fighting here?
Such a bizarre technique, disappearing into thin air!
Could the Universe Seed really be unrelated to Silicon?
Was it truly humanity's doing?
If so, attack them directly!
Even the Silicon Lord's gaze turned dangerous, because Silicon had half of Guangke Star Domain dismantled over the Universe Seed!
They were still carrying that burden!
If humanity was the one causing trouble behind the scenes, this wasn't over!
Even Yakeli and the younger brothers were dumbfounded!
Because even they didn't know where these extra base planets had come from!
At this moment, Jiangnan had undoubtedly become the target of public criticism!
Jiangnan let out a sneer:
(｡･ˇ↼ˇ･) "Gang Xiu! Don't play this game anymore, okay? At a time like this, you're still pretending to be stupid?"
"Using this chance to smear humanity? You really have a good plan. Want to have it both ways, don't you?"
"Indeed, Silicon's backstabbing is a traditional craft! Don't be too greedy. You've already sold us once, and now you want to sell us again?"
Gang Xiu said coldly:
[┐≖yi≖┌] "Don't try to change the subject! You stole the base planets from our hiding spots, didn't you?"
"Silicon left no records of this, which is absolutely impossible! With such an incredible method, who else but humanity could be behind the Universe Seed's disappearance?"
Ming Sha raged:
O(‵□′ꐦ)O "I don't care about the damn Universe Seed! I just want to know where the Matter Alliance's base planets went!"
"Where are our points? Jiangnan! Did you take them?"
Jiangnan looked at Ming Sha with pity, then sneered:
(￢_￢ꐦ) "Silicon, I've really had enough of you. Since you're pretending to be stupid and using this chance to smear the Carbon Alliance, I don't need to hide it anymore!"
"Indeed! All of the Matter Alliance's base planets are in our hands, along with a small portion of Silicon's!"
Ming Sha was almost crying with anger, pointing at Jiangnan and cursing loudly:
(´థkouథ)σ "You really..."
Jiangnan spread his hands: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "But we didn't steal them. We don't have the ability to quietly take base planets from Silicon's position without triggering their alert system!"
"Anyone with half a brain can figure that out. Even a god couldn't manage it!"
"These base planets were given to us by Silicon themselves! Delivered personally!"
The crowd was even more confused. Given to you?
Why?
Gang Xiu's eyes widened:
[┐°yi°┌] "Bullshit! Did we get full synthetic engine oil in our heads? Just give you that many base planets for free?"
"Why would we give them to you for free? You need to lie within reason! Who would believe that?"
Jiangnan said helplessly:
(≖～≖ꐦ) "Still acting? Still acting? You think I took these base planets for free? This was the payment for helping Silicon do the job! A transaction!"
"Do you think this operation against the Bose clan just happened? To be honest, the Carbon Alliance's points were already secure before this!"
"I could have just coasted until the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle ended. The Carbon Alliance would get third place, and our ranking would rise overall!"
"The goal was already achieved. Why would I take such a huge risk, painstakingly set up all these schemes, and attack the Bose clan? Do I have nothing better to do? Doing this thankless work, and the Carbon Alliance doesn't even want to compete for first?"
The crowd was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, it did make sense. The Carbon Alliance was already secure. Why attack the Bose clan?
One wrong move and they'd lose people, not to mention completely messing up the situation!
Tianli's gaze directly fell on Gang Xiu, full of hatred!
(caoyicaoꐦ) "Are you saying..."
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́～•̀)╭ "Like I said, it was a transaction! Silicon paid, Carbon Alliance did the work! Silicon wanted to climb up, secure their victory, so naturally they wanted to strike at the Bose clan, deliver a deadly blow!"
"But Silicon alone wasn't strong enough, so they secretly found me! Asked me to help breach the Bose position and core Lingxu!"
"They paid me the due payment, so I came up with the Thanos plan, pulled this off, broke through the Bose clan core Lingxu, and destroyed the position defense!"
"I was just taking a job. Who wouldn't make money when they can? Silicon didn't lose either. The payment they paid me could naturally be taken back from the Bose clan!"
"It also struck the Bose clan. A win-win situation! Didn't you notice I didn't grab any Bose clan base planets at all? Because there was no need. I already got my benefits!"
Jiangnan laid out the entire matter of him secretly conspiring with Silicon to scheme against the Bose clan!
Without any concealment!
Yakeli, Dou Lingyu, and the Night sisters were all dumbfounded!
(๑ʘ̅kouʘ̅๑)!!! Holy crap?
So that's how it was?
Jiangnan had somehow cooperated with Silicon?
And received payment from them?
This this this... holy crap!
This was huge explosive news!
Tianli was completely enraged:
(งಥyiಥ)ง "Damn it! Gang Xiu! No wonder! No wonder you!"
"You really had your little abacus clicking! So the mastermind behind this conflict was Silicon? You bribed the Carbon Alliance to jointly attack the Bose clan?"
"No wonder when we hijacked the hostages at the beginning, Silicon desperately helped the Carbon Alliance fight us!"
"And when Jiangnan attacked the Bose position, you actively sent up a black hole to cooperate! Later, when we transferred the base planets, you charged in to cooperate with the Carbon Alliance from inside and out, robbing the base planets?"
"It all connects! Everything connects! Silicon and the Carbon Alliance really were in bed together!"
"Gang Xiu! You bastard! What a plan you came up with! Actually spending money to hire the Carbon Alliance to attack us?"
Gang Xiu was frantic, his head bubbling with white smoke, his PPT almost burning!
[┐≧kou≦┌] "No! No such thing! It's all Jiangnan talking nonsense! There was no such transaction! The transaction was fabricated by Jiangnan, it doesn't exist!"
"Silicon was merely executing the short-term victory strategy, acting according to circumstances, maximizing our clan's interests!"
"We are not the masterminds, nor the black hands. We just came to pick up the scraps!"
Jiangnan curled his lip: (￢～￢) "I've said it all. Stop pretending, okay? Don't you think it lacks any persuasion?"
"Just came to pick up scraps? And all the scraps ended up with you? Isn't that too coincidental?"
Gang Xiu: !!!
[┐꒪ัyi꒪ั┌] "Damn it all! No! There's no transaction! This matter has nothing to do with Silicon! Silicon never lies! This is not the truth!"
Ming Sha was furious: "Good big brother! You're really our good big brother! Silicon made a deal with the Carbon Alliance, paying with our base planets?"
"You're really something, aren't you? Not bleeding a single drop yourself, selling out the entire Matter Alliance?"
"The base planets you spent were ours, and the ones you grabbed from the Bose clan became your own, right?"
"Too embarrassed to openly rob us, so you use this method to launder them? I'm so angry! I'm so damn angry! Puah~"
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Not entirely yours. My price was quite high. Your base planets weren't enough. They also contributed a bit of their own."
Ming Sha spat out a mouthful of old blood and fell backward!
(꒪ั༥꒪ั|||)...
Xian Guo quickly went to support him:
(‧̣̥̇ﾟkouﾟ)ﾂ "Wake up! Wake up! You have to be strong! You can't fall now!"
