Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 904 A Powerful Deterrence
The system that Chen Ping was describing at this moment actually has a rather resounding name on Earth: the Cradle System. In the computer system, however, the name of this system is simpler and more direct: the Watchdog Timer.

The main program continuously sends "feed the watchdog" signals, which the watchdog system constantly receives. If the signal is interrupted, the watchdog system will immediately take action—it's that simple, yet utterly unsolvable.

The level 9 fixed-mount shells that can only be activated after receiving a signal might be able to stop detonation by blocking the signal source. But who would dare to stop the destructive machine, which is in a state of imminent activation and needs a signal to refresh the countdown, from sending out the signal?
This is the so-called cradle system. If you don't rock the cradle properly, the baby in the cradle will start crying loudly. In this case, stopping the rocking will only make the baby wake up faster.

In reality, Chen Ping didn't have time to go down into the Star Dou Forest to bury level 9 fixed-position shells, nor could he possibly create a cradle system that could reliably maintain signal transmission. Otherwise, if the signal were to be interrupted even once for any reason, the human world would probably face annihilation.

However, this did not stop Chen Ping from using this concept, which had never appeared in the Douluo Continent before, to scare Di Tian. After all, once this thing was understood, it was believed that there would be almost no way to break the system.

If it were Elder Xuan or Poison Undying who told Di Tian that they had set up a watchdog system under the Great Calamity Land, Di Tian might not believe it.

But when Di Tian said this to Chen Ping, who already had the impressive feat of using a level-nine fixed-mount shell to bombard Ye Xishui, he really had to think twice.

Damn it, what if what this madman is saying is true?
If the Silver Dragon King's recovery process is interrupted or even worsened because of him, can he escape blame even if he is executed?
As Di Tian looked at the composed Chen Ping, the more he scrutinized Chen Ping, the more his confidence waned.

This is why Chen Ping wanted to project an imposing aura from the very beginning. Without such an aura, he couldn't intimidate Di Tian, ​​the Beast God, no matter how eloquent he was.

"Di Tian, ​​withdraw your beast tide and have an open and honest talk. Although I have some guesses about your motives for launching the beast tide, I need to hear it from you, the Beast God, so that I can understand how to deal with this issue."

"War is a continuation of politics, but at the same time, what cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiating table either."

"So, Your Majesty the Beast God, we want to talk because continuing to fight will affect our ability to deal with the Sun Moon Empire, not because we have lost the confidence to fight the Star Dou Forest to the death. We hope the Star Dou Forest can also understand this."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he slowly descended. Di Tian pondered Chen Ping's words, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Is war a continuation of politics?
What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiating table either.
Is this really something a human who has only lived for twenty years could come up with? It's incredibly insightful!
At this moment, in front of Shrek City, a large negotiating table was placed in the center of the battlefield, which was filled with smoke and corpses.

Shrek Academy and the Body Sect sat on the side closest to the city wall, while the ferocious beasts, including Di Tian, ​​sat on the other side. The two sides remained in a tense standoff.

"What? Is it wrong for my Star Dou Forest to launch a beast tide?"

"If we don't launch a beast tide now, and the number of human soul masters continues to rise and fall, do you think we soul beasts won't become extinct in the future?"

"You humans are insatiable. Even when you only had Soul Masters, you already needed a lot of Soul Rings. Now, you have the profession of Soul Master."

“Some ordinary Soul Masters who would not normally be able to advance to higher ranks can also advance through special methods. Even if the Soul Rings they need are of lower quality, they still have to kill our Soul Beasts to obtain them.”

"As your soul tools become stronger and stronger, our living space as soul beasts will be increasingly compressed, and one day we will be completely extinct!"

"The beast tide was indeed something I insisted on pushing, but so what?" "It's better than watching your people being devoured step by step and heading towards the end."

Chen Ping ignored Di Tian's words and simply shrugged: "It seems that the arrogance of the Soul Beast Forest is determined by the strength of its opponents."

"Humans have endured the threats posed by the world of soul beasts for hundreds of centuries. You have treated humans as food for tens of thousands of years, ignored their demands, and believed in the law of the jungle."

"At that time, it was the human world that was constantly on the verge of destruction. I'm curious, why did you, Di Tian, ​​a believer in the law of the jungle, only stand up and condemn humanity's greed when the soul beast world was truly on the verge of destruction?"

"Your Majesty, Beast God, I need to remind you once again that the bottom line for the Soul Beast World is the safety of your master, while the bottom line for the Human World is that Shrek City must not be destroyed. Until you find a way to crack the Watchdog system, you have only one choice left: to retreat."

"Insanity!"

Upon hearing Chen Ping's disrespectful remarks towards Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun slammed his fist on the table in anger. Even though he was still in human form, he managed to smash the negotiating table to pieces with a single claw.

To this, Du Busi merely sneered: "What kid Chen said earlier is quite right. What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiating table either. If you're not satisfied, then let's continue fighting. I want to see if your Star Dou Forest can afford the price of mutual destruction."

At this moment, Du Bu Si realized that the system Chen Ping mentioned probably held Di Tian's lifeline in its grasp, and immediately suppressed Xiong Jun's arrogance.

"If you're not convinced, let's fight. What's the use of banging on the table? I want to see how many punches you, the King of Destruction of Star Dou Forest, can take before you die."

Du Busi clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, staring intently at Xiong Jun, whose arms were almost touching his knees. The threat in his words was obvious.

"Rather than a slow death, we in the Star Dou Forest would rather have a bloody battle to the very last moment!"

Zi Ji also stood up abruptly and looked at Di Tian: "Di Tian, ​​we cannot accept such shameless threats from humans!"

"Shut up, all of you."

Di Tian glanced at Zi Ji and said coldly before looking at Chen Ping.

“You are right. Being good at using everything external to achieve your goals is a strength of you humans.”

"Otherwise, you humans could not have risen from a weak race that didn't even qualify as food to where you are today in just tens of thousands of years. Although I am reluctant to admit it, you humans are indeed the masters of the entire continent."
