My Talent Panel Can Add Points

Shadow Conference

”It seems we’re not the only faction harboring such thoughts.”

The man who made the suggestion sighed and then looked at the photo, continuing to speak: ”Their forgery techniques are quite clever, making it feel almost real to me. Even the map’s edges perfectly match those of the world map. These people’s forgery skills are truly remarkable.”

”If there’s no accident, they must have used something akin to a [Fraud Contract], so they are not afraid of our investigation. No wonder the Immortal Flying Group is so formidable in both decision-making and execution.... smarter than me.”

”Indeed, indeed.”

”If you hadn’t thought of this method to muddy the waters beforehand, we might have truly believed it. The Immortal Flying Group is indeed treacherous. No matter how strong the God-Hunting Group is, it couldn’t have developed to such an extent. This is a joke, right?”

”Hm! There are actually flaws.”

At the head, Cang Yue smiled slightly, pointing to the neatly arranged buildings on the map, saying: ”Their architectural layout itself has large flaws. I don’t know if you’ve seen the Insect Race, the real Insect Race relies on the Insect Mother Queen for construction; if built independently, it would consume enormous amounts of time and energy.”

”Therefore, the construction style of the Insect Race has a distinct Mother Queen style, it couldn’t possibly be so orderly unless the one who built it wasn’t the Mother Queen from the beginning.”

”But how could that be possible?”

”Such massive construction requires unimaginably terrifying energy expenditure without relying on the Mother Queen.... This level of energy consumption is hard to imagine, so from the architectural style alone, I personally think it’s fake.”

”The Immortal Flying Group must be unfamiliar with the Insect Race, hence they made this mistake, mistakenly believing that the difficulty of construction would not be particularly high like other races. But they are wrong; the construction difficulty of the Insect Race is different, requiring the assistance of the Mother Queen, the architectural style wouldn’t be like this.”

”Indeed.”

The man from behind nodded again, saying: ”Besides, the number of buildings is also absurd. The evolution chambers alone number in the hundreds; looking around, there’s no end in sight. Could a normal Insect Race construct this?”

”It’s not just the evolution chambers; the number of other building types is extremely large and exceedingly complex. Such a vast number of buildings, laid out so neatly, how is it any different from hacking? Do they truly think Insect Race construction is akin to a game?”

”It’s fake, definitely fake!”

”The forgery is ridiculously outrageous.”

”Indeed, indeed.”

....

Meanwhile, similar scenes were occurring in other factions. Those leaders knowledgeable about the Insect Race were not very convinced by the pictures because the architectural traces in the pictures didn’t make sense.

It didn’t look like it was built by the Insect Mother Queen!

Hence, they simply didn’t believe!

Meanwhile, the Immortal Flying Group who sent out the pictures was, like the Ashfire Group, already starting to move, acting quickly and decisively.

They knew these forces wouldn’t believe.

Just as they themselves didn’t believe at first.

Until repeated confirmation, they finally ensured that the news was true, the God-Hunting Group’s Insect Race faction had truly developed to such an extent.

Since the God-Hunting Group was already so powerful, what action they took became less significant, as other team factions harbored ulterior motives, making real unity unlikely, even if the truth was shown to them, they wouldn’t believe it.

Is there any salvation for this?

No salvation!

Since there’s no salvation, they’d better hurry up and relocate to escape, as long as they are far enough from the God-Hunting Group, they could survive a little longer, ensuring a decent ranking.

If the God-Hunting Group wiped out all ten other factions, they would be second! And it wouldn’t require too much time and effort to secure this second place, the cost-effectiveness would be very high! Moving out immediately was the best choice!

They put the pictures out there also to confuse public perception.

Just releasing them, no one would believe it; even if someone did, subsequent investigations would yield similar types of images. When other factions already did not believe, seeing similar series of pictures, how would they think?

This is a false secondary creation!

It’s not really the God-Hunting Group!

So, the current situation is that whichever faction runs late is the one unlucky, generating suspicion among others was precisely the purpose of confusing perception.

--Team Channel--

Short-tailed Cat: Oh no, oh no!

Short-tailed Cat: Boss, our team’s intelligence has been leaked! Something big might happen next!

Other Shore: What the heck are you afraid of.

Other Shore: The team leader and vice leader have always been at home. Without their consent, do you think other factions could get intelligence?

Short-tailed Cat: Maybe they used some rare item? That’s also possible.

Divine Monarch: There are concealed means.

His concealed method naturally was the Riddle Gauze. The equipment Riddle Gauze had already been strengthened by faith, and its strength at this moment was infinitely close to a Pseudo-Divine Artifact, shielding the base from detection, such things could still be done.

Without Ye Mingqiu’s permission for probing the real intelligence, unless there is a true Pseudo-Divine Artifact on the other side, it couldn’t be done.

Short-tailed Cat: Oh, that’s good then.

Short-tailed Cat: But then, won’t we be in trouble? The other side already knows our situation, surely they’ll besiege us next?

Qing Yu: Don’t worry, they won’t.

Qing Yu: You guys worked on the base so well, they won’t believe this is a normal Insect Race layout.

Qing Yu: Actually, I quite admire you guys, why don’t you give the Mother Queen some wisdom? You really just manually crafted all the buildings? That’s a huge workload, hard to imagine humans could do that.

Frost Moon: Admire, admire!

Yuan Chu: That’s true grinding!

Kaki Aste: Cat God awesome!

Short-tailed Cat: It’s not like I didn’t, I added wisdom to the Mother Queen! But it doesn’t work at all! I also don’t know why it doesn’t do any work!

Other Shore: This ”dumb” Mother Queen is just sitting there doing nothing, leaving us to build it all! Plus, building Insect Race constructions is damn exhausting, I’m about to drop dead! Really fed up!

Qing Yu: ?

Frost Moon: ?

Lu: ?

Broken Star: Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ

Divine Monarch: (๑ʘ̅ д ʘ̅๑)!

Divine Monarch: So, the Mother Queen hasn’t done anything up till now? I thought it was resolved, didn’t expect, you’re genuinely building manually!

Short-tailed Cat: Of course!

Short-tailed Cat: The grind on Insect Race buildings is ridiculous, especially constructing so much stuff, that workload isn’t something humans should do! Normally factions need the Mother Queen’s assistance, but our family’s Mother Queen, for some reason, just keeps playing dead! Ahhh!

Divine Monarch: Let me check.

.....

Ye Mingqiu arrived in front of the massive Insect Nest, gazing at the hardened insect shell, squinting slightly before probing with a tap on the shell, like knocking at a door.

No response from inside.

So, he tapped again, while his heart began to doubt. Could it be that the initial Insect Mother Queen given by the Spirit Realm.... is disabled? Otherwise, how could there be no response at all?

Logically speaking, the Mother Queen’s wisdom already has been added significantly, so the other side should certainly understand what knocking on the door means. In understanding, continuing to play dead poses great problems; could the Mother Queen indeed be disabled?

Is there an issue with the Spirit Realm?

”Knock knock knock!”

Ye Mingqiu knocked once more but still received no response from inside; the internal Insect Mother Queen seemed not to hear at all; this phenomenon was quite peculiar.

Logically, a normal Insect Mother Queen can communicate with faction members. If communication is not possible, subsequent actions would be very troublesome.

So...

What is wrong with this Mother Queen?

PS: Even though I don’t know why, a lot of people suddenly made donations yesterday, but since donations were made, I’ll quickly add another Chapter! My conscience wouldn’t let me rest otherwise!
