Chapter 1408: Seeking Speed? Seeking Stability!
"Chaos Director is right."
Before Qiongqi and Taotie recovered from their shock, they heard Taowu's words of approval:
"If it really comes to that, in order to preserve the Star-Picking Tower, we can capture the sun and use it as a power source."
"Don't forget, after the Great Resurrection, the rule of this world is the survival of the fittest!"
"If we can't survive, there's no need to worry about the life and death of others!"
On ordinary days, Qiongqi always plays the role of a peacemaker, mediating the conflict between Taotie and Taowu.
But this time, he expressed clear opposition to Taowu.
"This plan is too radical. You are just gambling!" Qiongqi shook his head, his eyes sharp.
"Once we fail, we will be doomed and there will be no chance of recovery!"
"I will not fail!!" Taowu suddenly shouted loudly, and slapped the table beside him, breaking it.
"This opportunity finally comes up, I must seize it!"
"I can't wait any longer!"
The sudden anger caused black flames to rise from his body, like a human-shaped furnace.
Qiongqi stopped talking and just looked at the ally in front of him with whom he had worked for many years with complicated eyes.
The usually irritable Taotie calmed down at this moment.
He also wanted to play the role of peacemaker like Qiongqi usually did, to give some advice and ease the atmosphere.
But I'm used to his usually aggressive remarks.
Once I opened my mouth, not only did I fail to help,
Instead, it made the already tense situation worse:
"Isn't Taowu always done this before? He acts according to his intuition."
"If he was gambling this time, then all his previous decisions were also gambling."
"I've gambled so many times..."
"I'm sure!!" Taowu looked at Taotie and roared.
Black flames were blazing on his body, burning his skin and flesh.
The intense pain caused the muscles to spasm involuntarily.
The twitching appearance, coupled with his already scarred face, made him look particularly terrifying.
"At least 80%!"
"Okay, okay, 80%, 80% success rate is already very high!" Taotie nodded repeatedly and agreed.
When Taowu calmed down a bit, he immediately pulled the gloomy Qiongqi down:
"Let's settle this first."
"Even if the Star-Picking Tower were to migrate to the solar system, the star that powers it wouldn't necessarily fail."
"If it doesn't turn into a white dwarf, then our current quarrel will be meaningless."
"Or do you, Qiongqi, have a better way?"
Qiongqi glanced at the Taotie who was making faces, and his frown relaxed a little.
He raised his head again and looked at Taowu, then spoke:
"After the Star-Picking Tower moves to the solar system, if Earth shows any intention to contact us, I will fully participate."
"Whatever you say." Taowu sat back in his chair, his tone becoming somewhat nonchalant:
"For these minor matters, you can contact Ruizhi, the customer service supervisor, directly."
"She has always been in charge of matters related to contact with Earth."
"Now, we can go down and notify the relevant personnel to get the Star Picking Tower moving."
……
Earth.
Shelter in the center of Yongcheng.
"The probability of success is only 90%?"
“How is this different from gambling?”
Li Luo, who had already returned through the [Jiugai] and [Bazhen] portals, was now leaning on a recliner with drooping eyelids, scanning the people around him.
"A 90% chance of success is already very high." Pan Xiaoxiao adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously:
"If Alyssa could wake up earlier, Earth would most likely have one more person favored by God!"
"Yes." Li Luo nodded in response, then retorted:
“But there’s still a 10% chance of failure.”
“And this matter is not only related to Sister Alyssa, Xu Xiao will also be affected.”
"I don't agree with forcing things to grow."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and soon a low murmur of discussion was heard in the conference room.
Li Luo didn't care about it. He just picked up the coconut in his arms, put the straw to his lips, and took a light sip.
This thing is a new product developed by Luo Yonghao, who is engaged in agricultural activities in the [Devil's Cave].
The taste is more refreshing than the normal coconut before the apocalypse, and it also has the effect of permanently increasing the intelligence attribute by 1 point.
However, since it is still under large-scale cultivation at this stage, the output is relatively small.
Giving it as a reward to players who have made outstanding contributions seems a bit embarrassing.
Just use it to supply Li Luo, the pregnant woman.
After all, even if we put aside the function of increasing intelligence, the nutrients rich in coconut water itself are also of great benefit to the baby in the belly.
Seeing that Li Luo directly rejected her proposal, Pan Xiaoxiao did not get angry, but continued to list her own opinions:
"I believe that accelerating the liberation process is not forcing things to happen."
"According to the description of Taowu, the supervisor of the Zhaixing Tower, the Fate Abyss Battlefield will automatically activate when it senses a strong fluctuation of fate, and automatically absorb divinity after it is deployed."
"If we can accelerate this process, it will inevitably cause even stronger fluctuations in destiny."
“By then, the Fate Abyss Battlefield will be able to absorb more divinity, and Alyssa will be able to wake up from her unconscious state sooner.”
"Xu Xiao's progress in liberating the Palu star belt will also be accelerated."
"It's a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
"And the cost of all this is only a 10% risk, and the benefits far exceed expectations. It's worth a try."
Li Luo still holds the straw in his mouth.
After Pan Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he continued calmly:
“The growth of Sister Alyssa and Xu Xiao’s strength cannot be simply calculated in terms of risk and benefit.”
"With Lu Li's benefactor gone, they have to act as the last barrier."
"So without 100% certainty, I will not agree to this proposal to speed up the process."
"Don't I still have you..." Pan Xiaoxiao murmured with a complicated expression.
"I am there?" Li Luo chuckled.
"I'm a pregnant woman, what's the use?"
"Besides, have you forgotten what your benefactor always said, 'Always consider the worst possible scenario'?"
"Your benefactor only wants you to pursue stability and has never asked you to pursue speed."
"You are so impatient that you might miss something important."
"Think back to the past experience of clearing the Secret Realm of Rules with your benefactor Lu Li, and don't make such a stupid mistake again."
The scolding, neither too light nor too severe, made Pan Xiaoxiao's face turn slightly red and her legs unconsciously clamped together.
After a moment, he nodded solemnly:
"I was too eager for quick success."
"But I won't give up the idea of speeding up the process. If I can increase the success rate to 95%, or even higher, is it possible..."
"If you can guarantee success, I agree to your proposal." Li Luo drank the last sip of coconut water, wiped his mouth, and interrupted lightly:
"Otherwise, it's better to just provide necessary assistance and then let it develop."
"There will be no loopholes in Lu Li's benefactor's plan."
