533: Chapter 581 Everyone here is trash!

99th Realm Conference Room.

The Yishu Noble's eyes lit up as he watched the Mercury State Race players return.

He couldn't help but chuckle. "I thought this bet was void, but I didn't expect the Mercury State Race players to pull a feint and return. This is getting interesting."

Dainike sneered, "Indeed! It's quite interesting. It'll be even more interesting when I take your resources later."

The Canghai Noble let out a cold snort. "You certainly have high hopes."

"As long as the two civilization players by An Ke's side help, the bet remains invalid."

His bet with Tike and the other Nobles centered on the war between An Ke and the Mercury State Race players.

Only if An Ke's side achieved victory, and he personally accounted for 70% or more of the credit, would Tike and the other Nobles be considered the winners.

If An Ke won but the other two civilization players provided significant help and took most of the credit, the Yishu Noble would not be considered the loser.

If the Mercury State Race took An Ke out, then he would win the bet.

Could a civilization player with an evaluation of only F-rank take out a C-rank civilization player?

Obviously impossible.

Therefore, the Yishu Noble felt completely at ease.

At worst, the bet would be void; at best, he would win.

This bet was simply too good a deal.

...

Inside the game, the Mercury State Race had already returned to the sky above An Ke's group's city.

They looked down condescendingly at An Ke's group and the nine flags on the ground beside them, their eyes filled with excitement and greed.

"Human Player, we meet once again."

One of the Mercury State Race players was the first to speak.

"Indeed!" An Ke responded with a calm expression and a smile.

When Kuku informed him that the Mercury State Race was coming back, An Ke immediately arranged for Little Scar to blockade the teleportation channel, cutting off the Mercury State Race's retreat.

Ever heard of 40x Gigantification?

"We are the Mercury State Race, with a comprehensive strength evaluation of C-rank," the Mercury State Race player introduced himself, his tone oozing condescension.

"Oh, oh!"

"I am An Ke, a Human Player with a comprehensive strength evaluation of F-rank," An Ke replied, mimicking the Mercury State Race's tone.

Seeing An Ke's demeanor, the Mercury State Race players exchanged glances, somewhat surprised.

"An Ke, you've actually impressed us a bit. To think you'd remain so composed before a civilization three levels higher than your own."

An Ke continued to respond with "Oh, oh," then grinned. "Do you think I must be humble before you?"

"Sorry! To be honest, in my eyes, you're all just trash!"

"Wahaha! Well said, little friend!" Old Crocodile laughed loudly.

Jin Gang's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "I've learned something! I've learned something!"

"Master truly is the King of Flexing! That line was way too cool."

He immediately stepped forward and mimicked An Ke, shouting, "Everyone sitting here is trash!!"

The Mercury State Race players looked at each other, then turned to Jin Gang in bewilderment.

They weren't even sitting?

Jin Gang froze, realizing he had said it wrong.

So he corrected himself, "Everyone standing here is trash!"

However, as soon as he finished, he was kicked away by An Ke. "You never use your brain; you've completely ruined the atmosphere."

Everyone standing? An Ke's entire group was standing.

Not a single member nearby felt any sympathy for Jin Gang.

The Mercury State Race players, on the other hand, felt it was all very bizarre. What were they doing? Performing a comedy skit for them?

"An Ke, even if you perform a skit to amuse us, it won't change the fact that you must hand over the flags."

"Hand over the nine flags, and we guarantee..."

But at that moment, the Mercury State Race player who was speaking froze, and the others were also taken aback.

Why was the real world sending a bullet comment now?

Could it be to celebrate our capture of the nine flags in advance?

However, after they finished reading the bullet comment from the real world, the hearts of all the players skipped a beat, and they felt terrible.

What the hell? There were players from two other civilizations mixed in with the Human Players?

One had the same comprehensive strength evaluation as them, and the other was...

Following the description in the bullet comment, the Mercury State Race players locked onto Fungus Kuku.

This was actually a B-rank player!?

Wait! Why would an F-rank civilization player have players from two other civilizations by his side?

Is he even worthy?

At that moment, An Ke's calm voice drifted over. "Can you please not stop halfway through your sentence?"

"What were you going to guarantee me?"

The Mercury State Race players snapped back to their senses, their gaze shifting from condescension to wariness.

Guarantee what?

What could they even say now?

The Mercury State Race players ignored An Ke's words and instead stared at Fungus Kuku and Little Roman and the other Thousand Changes Race players.

"Fungus Race and Thousand Changes Race, right?"

"Oh dear, oh dear! Does your real world send bullet comments that fast? You already know we're players from outside civilizations."

The corners of the Mercury State Race players' mouths twitched.

How could they not be fast?

If a battle broke out and they were caught off guard, their losses would be disastrous.

"Hey! Our esteemed father is talking to you. What's the meaning of ignoring him?" Kuku said with ill intent.

your esteemed father?

A B-rank civilization player addressing an F-rank player with such respect??

Isn't this a complete reversal of the natural order?

No!

The Mercury State Race players felt that things were definitely not that simple.

The players exchanged glances, all seeing the same suspicion in each other's eyes.

"fungus friend, may we ask if we can join your group?"

"Being the masterminds together sounds quite interesting, haha..."

The Mercury State Race players speculated that the reason the Fungus Race and Thousand Changes Race players were doing this...

...was because they intended to be the powers behind the scenes.

In other words, An Ke was merely a puppet they had pushed to the front.

By doing this, they could prevent players from other civilizations from noticing their own civilizations.

They could also trick players from other civilizations—just like they were doing now.

If the real-world bullet comment hadn't arrived in time, they would have been finished.

Since neither side had made a move yet, there was still room for negotiation.

"No! My 'disgust for stupidity' is acting up," Kuku said with loathing.

"your esteemed father, why don't you let me handle them? I can't take it anymore."

"No need, no need!" An Ke waved his hand.

"You don't need to step in this time. Just leave it to me."

An Ke intended to train his troops.

Although the animal members had been endowed with transcendent attributes, they lacked combat experience.

They weren't like An Ke, who had Proficiency to make up for a lack of experience.

This was the perfect opportunity for some practice.

B-rank civilization players were a bit dangerous, D-rank civilization players were too weak, and the C-rank Mercury State Race was just right.

Opposite them, the Mercury State Race players' eyes flickered with uncertainty.

They exchanged looks and, without a word, turned around, intending to leave.

Even though An Ke just told the Fungus Race and Thousand Changes Race that they didn't need to act...

...how could they be sure they wouldn't?

If it was a trick, they would be doomed.

So the best choice was to leave this place without looking back...
