### Chapter 158: The Wind God is a Loli
In response to this revelation, the comments section exploded in laughter.
They waited a bit longer, and more players trickled in, yet the elusive “Wind” was still nowhere to be found, so they just dove straight into their war meeting.
Among the remaining players, a third gathered in Ashen City.
And this third was the crème de la crème, the strongest of the strong.
The faster and better players were all flocking this way.
It’s safe to say that even without “Wind,” Ashen City alone boasted over seventy to eighty percent of the total player power.
The outcome of their war meeting would dictate the direction of the final assault.
The meeting dragged on for over an hour.
It started with a lot of squabbling before they finally got down to the nitty-gritty of task assignments.
In the end, a cooperative combat plan was settled on.
This cooperative combat plan was humorously dubbed—
The Non-Cooperation Plan.
After the previous BOSS battle illustrated that players from different servers gathering together was just a recipe for chaos, they realized they’d been stepping on each other’s toes.
If they hadn’t held each other back, the BOSS could’ve been down twenty minutes ago.
Even if they were forced to bind together, the big questions of who leads and how to lead remained a colossal headache.
So, they decided that the last two large exploration points would each split into four directions with four doors: the players from the Huaxia Server, M Zone Server, European Server, and others would enter from the East, West, South, and North, respectively, without interfering with one another.
In simpler terms, one door for each side; everyone goes their own way. How they divvy up their internal tasks is up to them.
Want to focus on Green Shade City? Just leave the Illusion Forest alone. So long as they don’t interfere with each other before the guardian BOSSes at both places, it’s all good.
And when it comes to the BOSSes? Well, do whatever you want.
No one could really restrict that.
Everyone would head to their doors early to guard.
After two hours in the Illusion Forest, which would kick off the strategy battle, Green Shade City would start an hour later.
Anyone trying to sneak in early better be ready for the reckoning after the event ends.
No one here wants to take chances; publicly breaking the agreement would have heavy consequences.
Once they’d hammered out the big battle framework, everyone left with their teams in tow.
Now, Yuliya was in a bit of a pickle.
Belonging to the Huaxia Server, she was technically supposed to follow the rules and enter from the East.
But… I never agreed to this; I didn’t even attend the meeting!
And what exactly does this reckoning entail? Am I going to be reckoned?
Ha! You don’t even know who I am; try to reckon me with your head!
I’m sneaking off today—what are you gonna do about it?
Forget it, forget it, no need to complicate things.
If I hadn’t eavesdropped on this ridiculous meeting, I would have done whatever I wanted. Since I’ve overheard it, better not pretend to be deaf.
Moreover, she initially planned to let other players scout ahead.
This is a major exploration point, the absolute climax of this event—she wouldn’t dare mess around.
As always, Yuliya is actually quite… prudent.
Time was still on her side; this event dungeon definitely wouldn’t wrap up too easily. There might just be hidden landmines waiting at the end.
Yuliya chose to scout the Illusion Forest first.
Although both were significant exploration points, the royal city of Green Shade City was more than twice the size of the Illusion Forest, clearly the true final BOSS.
If she tackled the Illusion Forest first, she could still rush to the royal capital to catch the last wave.
With two hours to go until the start of the Illusion Forest strategy battle, she took a detour to Blue Sky City.
Situated on the eastern edge of the Illusion Forest, it was the closest to the forest’s entrance.
A good number of Huaxia Server players shared her idea and set off for Blue Sky City to scout around.
As time passed, more players intended to enter the large exploration point.
Upon reaching the two major exploration points, they would be informed of the battle plan by other players they encountered, then head to their respective server entrances.
For those who couldn’t abide by the rules and snuck in early from minor areas, there wasn’t much anyone else could do.
If they wanted to sneak in, then let them; diving in recklessly was fraught with danger—and they might already be in the respawn screen.
They agreed to start the main assault in two to three hours not just to accumulate power, but also to prevent any premature charge.
“Still haven’t run into the ‘Wind God’?”
“Nope, can’t find anyone at all.”
“Could they have sneaked in early? They shouldn’t, though; top players wouldn’t be that reckless.”
Top players are the elite powerhouses, and rushing in without caution would be a colossal waste.
Everyone had these thoughts, which is why they formed teams, gathered together, and maximized their strengths to the fullest.
In high emotional intelligence terms, that’s a fancy way of saying find someone to be a scapegoat.
Unless you can break through solo, joining a team is definitely a better option.
Break through? Is that even possible? Absolutely not…
Then he glanced at the leaderboard, where a striking six-digit score caught his eye, and just below it, a measly four-digit score.
Wait… is it really impossible?
It seemed… there might be a possibility after all?
“Although we haven’t encountered the Wind God, we did meet someone who has.”
“Oh? What did they say?”
“They said… the Wind God is a loli.”
“…”
“Holy moly! The Wind God is a loli?!!!”
This news quickly made its way to the Huaxia Server’s commander, our old buddy Fiery Conflict Across the Sky.
After all, he was the recognized second-in-command; with the boss not around, even if they were, it wouldn’t be wise to mention their leadership skills, yet the level of Fiery Conflict Across the Sky was well established.
“Brother Tian! Brother Tian! The Wind God is a loli! A loli!”
“Shut up! I heard you!”
Fiery Conflict Across the Sky braced his forehead with one hand, pondering life while sitting on a stone.
He reminisced about the grass of spring, the nights of summer, the fruits of autumn, and the winds of winter.
Wind? That wind?
Holy cow! I’ve been subdued by a loli this whole time?
And she’s keeping me pinned down completely!
Fiery Conflict Across the Sky let out a heavy sigh and then turned to address the newcomer seriously, “Actually, lolis can be pretty good.”
The newcomer froze, seemingly incredulous.
“Brother Tian… you’re… you’re actually right! A true sage!”
“Get lost!”
Fiery Conflict Across the Sky smacked the guy on the forehead, but his own hand instantly triggered absolute defense against friendly fire, leaving his palm stinging.
He couldn’t help but grimace, but luckily kept his mouth shut.
Then he expressionlessly withdrew his hand, resting it behind his back.
“What I mean is, since she’s a loli, she can’t possibly compete for command with me. We can treat her like a good luck charm from here on.”
“Uh… a good luck charm worth 140,000 points?”
“Exactly! A 140,000-point good luck charm!”
Even though Fiery Conflict Across the Sky only had 8,000 points, he could still puff out his chest and treat her like a good luck charm.
So what if you’re strong? So what if you’ve got a high score?
As long as you’re a loli, you’re inherently inferior!
We’re all beings you can only look up to; you can at most jump and hit our knees.
