I started by enhancing cancer cells and uniquely obtained the Godhood Sequence.

Upon hearing what Funatari Dai said, Yuya Kazuma frowned and couldn't help but speak up:

"Easy to say, it's not that simple."

Even now, he still doesn't understand how Lin Mo fulfilled the terms of the betting agreement!

Those are ten thousand Tier 1, 5-star monsters. Can Lin Mo really do that by himself?

The answer is obviously no!

Someone in the darkness also spoke up in response:

"That's right, the Wall of Bones is not as simple as it looks; there are definitely accomplices behind it."

"There might be someone with similar strength to Lin Mo hiding behind this."

As if he had found a kindred spirit, Yu Ye's tone immediately became excited:

"That must be it! Otherwise, how could eleven people from Yan Kingdom possibly compare to me?"

"Don't underestimate the White Bone Great Wall just because they have fewer members. Don't forget that during the flag battle, the White Bone Great Wall only fielded one Lin Mo."

"Among those sixty-odd players, there might be some who are evenly matched with Lin Mo."

Even Furutari, who had initially been at odds with him, nodded in agreement after he said this, saying:

That makes sense.

"Lin Mo is the one in the open, but we can't rule out the possibility that there are other powerful figures hidden in the shadows."

The players present nodded in agreement, indicating their approval.

Seeing this, Yuya Ichima breathed a sigh of relief.

It's important to know that the people in this meeting are currently among the top performers on the Japanese leaderboard. They are arguably the strongest group in Japan and will likely have the most influence in the country in the future.

He was naturally one of them, but he didn't want to be excluded because of a loss in a bet.

Yuya Ichima slightly adjusted his emotions and said:

"Even if we keep issuing betting orders against the [Wall of Bones], it may not actually be effective."

"Lin Mo isn't stupid. He'll definitely be on guard once we join forces."

Furutari gently waved his folding fan and said with a smile:

"Lin Mo isn't stupid, but he's arrogant enough."

"In other words, he was overconfident in his abilities, which is evident from his attitude when he accepted the betting order."

Rainy Night Ichima shook his head again: "Even so, what can we do?"

At this point, he glanced at the figure in blue hemp clothing in the darkness and said:

"Even if Lin Mo's individual strength is not as good as ours, I think the overall strength of the Great Wall of Bones is no weaker than any of the villages here."

"In a contest of village strength, even Lord Aohito, I think..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

What the samurai family couldn't do, the other villages here might not be able to do either.

Furutari did not refute him, but instead nodded and said:

"That's right, so we won't target the Bone Wall with a simple betting order, but rather with a Tier 2 main city quest!"

Rainy Night Ichima frowned slightly: "Your main city can already be upgraded? So fast?"

Zhou Du shook his head: "I haven't done it yet, but Lord Qingmayi has already received the upgrade quest in the main city."

Then, he explained the main city upgrade quest.

After listening to what Yuya Kazuma had said, he finally understood the purpose of the meeting.

The main city upgrade quest is actually similar to the gambling token quest, but it's an upgraded version of the gameplay.

Upgrading the main city requires merging with other villages.

Two Tier 1 main cities can be merged into one Tier 2 main city.

The same applies to the subsequent Tier 3 main cities.

Of course, this doesn't mean that when one village merges with another, the other village completely disappears.

Instead, it combines the two into one, and the players from the two villages are naturally merged together.

But which entity will take the lead depends on the merger method.

If it's a normal merger, then it depends on the choice and the outcome of the negotiations between the two village chiefs.

Even if you choose the other player's village as your main city, the treatment and status of the players who move there will not be affected.

However, if the decision is made through a battle, then the loser must unconditionally obey the winner.

Furthermore, even after merging with the main city, players from the loser's village will become "second-class citizens" in the main city and will have no say in the face of the winner.

They can be driven out of the main city by the winner at any time.

This is what is meant by the winner-takes-all principle.

After hearing the rules for upgrading the main city, Yu Ye Yizhen asked curiously:

"Is that Lord Qingmayi preparing to challenge the Great Wall of Bones by merging its main city?"

Will Lin Mo agree? What if he backs out at the last minute?

Before Furutari could speak, Aoi's cool voice rang out in the conference room:

No, it won't.

Upon hearing this, not only Yuya Kazuma, but also the other Sakura Country players present were stunned, seemingly not expecting Aomai to be so certain.

The other party paused for a moment and then said:

"I've seen his fight videos; he's the same kind of person as me."

"We are all pursuing the title of the strongest."

"So he won't refuse."

Every word was crisp and clear, and the tone was resolute, as if certain.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, then looked at the blue-clothed figure in the darkness. The only thing visible in his eyes seemed to sparkle like stars, and his whole body was brimming with fighting spirit.

Even though it was just a virtual projection, everyone could feel the killing intent was so real that it sent chills down their spines.

Is this the strength of the number one person in Japan...?

Most of the players present were having their first meeting with Aoi, and only now did they realize that this number one player in Sakura Country truly lived up to her reputation.

Even Yuya Kazuma, currently ranked second, was startled and instinctively placed his left hand on the scabbard at his waist.

Zhou Du waved his folding fan and said:

"Even so, we cannot let our guard down, so you still need allies, Lady Aomai."

"Furthermore, to guard against Lin Mo's backup plan, we still cannot allow you to initiate the challenge of upgrading the main city."

"I can handle this..."

Having said this, he smiled and addressed the other powerful figures from the Sakura Kingdom:

"Please don't misunderstand, even if I take over the Wall of Bones, I will share the resources."

"Everyone who contributed to this main city upgrade battle will be able to get a share of the rewards."

Yu Ye Yizhen and the others frowned slightly and said, "You've said so much, but you still haven't said how you're going to target Lin Mo."

Furutari laughed and said:

Does this even need explaining?

"It's very simple, everyone here just needs to join my village."

"At that time, who cares how many tricks the Great Wall of Bones has up its sleeve? Can they compare to the entire powerhouse of our Sakura Kingdom's rankings coming out in full force?"

Most people, including Yuya Ichima, showed a hint of realization on their faces.

Of course, some people who had vaguely guessed it beforehand showed expressions of "I knew it."

But a moment later, they all looked strange and puzzled.

What merit or ability does Lin Mo possess?

Even if the Great Wall of Bones is a resource paradise, it's still worth the combined efforts of the top ten strongest players in our Sakura Kingdom to target it!

Isn't this a bit of overkill?

Furutari seemed to have read their thoughts, and said with a smile, gently waving his folding fan:

"Gentlemen, when our Sakura Country makes a move, it will be as swift as thunder. We must strike decisively and seize the initiative."

At this point, he snapped his folding fan shut, his smile vanished, and he stood up with a serious expression, bowing his head.

"Therefore, I humbly request your assistance!"

"In this battle, we will show the whole world the strength of our Sakura Nation!"

Now, even Yu Ye Yizhen, who had initially been extremely displeased with him, became solemn and stood up along with the other players present, bowing in return.

"Sakura will win this battle!!!"

The sound reverberated throughout the entire conference room, its impact astonishing.

In the darkness, only the number one person in the Sakura Kingdom sat quietly in his seat, filled with anticipation for the formidable enemy who was about to arrive...
