Su Ming nodded and said, “But from the way your brother is acting, I’m guessing he has some ideas about our studio.”

“He seems to have temporarily given up on persuading you and me, but I see his attitude today…”

When Su Ming said that, he fell into a brief silence, as if he was thinking about how he should continue.

After a short while, he spoke again. “He’s probably still trying to pull us under his command. I think he only has two reasons for asking me to go over today.”

When Shen Yi heard this, she lifted her head instinctively and looked in Su Ming’s direction. There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

“What’s the purpose?”

Su Ming chuckled softly and said, “Isn’t it obvious?”

“First, it was to test my identity and see if I’m Night Blade, who’s ranked first on the player leaderboard.”

“Other than that, it’s also to get our studio to join his camp.”

After a slight pause, Su Ming continued, “However, I didn’t give him a clear answer.”

“Even if he has a high probability of being certain that I am Night Blade, as long as I don’t point it out, he can’t make a fuss about this matter.”

“After we were almost done with our conversation, he seemed to have understood my attitude. It’s unlikely that our studio will join his camp. Whether it’s our development or our future direction, it’s the opposite of what they want.”

When Su Ming said this, he frowned slightly.

“However, their current trend of rapidly expanding their allies also makes me a little uneasy.”

When Shen Yi heard Su Ming’s words, she could not help but be momentarily stunned.

“Ah? What’s wrong? This shouldn’t have much to do with us, right?”

Hearing Shen Yi’s question, Su Ming shook his head and said, “No, it’s related. That is if most of the top players listen to Shen Fang and choose to join his camp. Then, most of the core forces in this game will not choose to stand against the Extraterrestrials in the end.”

“Under such circumstances, the strength of human players will be greatly weakened.”

As he said these words, Su Ming’s mind was filled with thoughts.

According to the memories of his previous life, he did not seem to have heard of the existence of such an organization.

Or it could be said that he did not see or hear Shen Fang’s actions.

If he said that he did not receive Shen Fang’s invitation, it could be explained that he did not have enough ability and did not catch Shen Fang’s attention.

Then the other thing could not be explained.

In his previous life, there was not a single top-tier player who had given up on the human faction in the final stages of the game.

Almost all the tribes chose to fight against the Extraterrestrials to the end.

Of course, Su Ming acknowledged this kind of humanity.

However, it was undeniable that human nature was complicated, and not everyone could stick to their original hearts in the face of disaster.

In fact, Su Ming could even reasonably believe that if the Extraterrestrials in his previous life extended an olive branch to the top players…

Then, there would definitely be a portion of them who would be tempted and choose to switch sides and cooperate with the Extraterrestrials.

When he thought of this, Su Ming could not help but narrow his eyes.

What was the reason that led to the situation in his previous life?

Did Shen Fang give up on his plan in the end, or did his idea encounter some huge resistance, causing him to be unable to succeed in doing what he promised?

Or… Could it be that Shen Fang did not even do such a thing in his previous life?

When he thought of this, Su Ming’s expression changed, and a hint of surprise and bewilderment flashed past his face.

If Shen Fang did not do this in his previous life, then why did the situation become like this in this life?

The butterfly effect? Su Ming was not too sure.

His brows furrowed even deeper, causing Shen Yi’s expression to become a little suspicious.

“What’s wrong with you?” Shen Yi’s question pulled Su Ming back to reality from the state where his thoughts were constantly running wild.

As he looked at Shen Yi’s confused and concerned expression, Su Ming also shook his head slightly.

“I’m fine. I just thought of something strange.”

When Shen Yi heard Su Ming’s words, a hint of confusion flashed past her face, but she did not ask any further.

“Alright, since there’s nothing else, let’s go back and level up.”

When Su Ming heard this, he was just about to nod and agree to it when he thought of something.

“By the way, were you preparing to go out just now? How did I bump into you in the living room?”

When Shen Yi heard Su Ming’s question, she was slightly taken aback, then she cast him a slightly helpless glance.

“You still have the nerve to ask me this? I was going to ask you some things in the game, but when I opened the chat box with you, I found that you were offline.”

“I waited for a long time but you didn’t come online. I thought something happened to you, so I came out to give you a call.”

“In the end, I just walked into the living room and ran into you.”

When Su Ming heard Shen Yi’s words, he first shook his head in amusement, then he said, “Hmm? What do you want to ask me?”

When Shen Yi heard this, she shook her head and said, “It’s about the matter in the Elf Valley, but it’s been resolved now. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Su Ming nodded his head in understanding.

“Alright then.” Once he finished speaking, Su Ming went straight to his room.

Shen Yi stood behind him for a while, then followed behind him with a slightly helpless expression.

Once Su Ming returned to his room, the first thing he did was to log in.

...

Once he logged in, Su Ming first went to the Elf Valley and went to Zelda’s house.

“How is it? Did that guy give any new useful information?”

Su Ming did not specify who he was referring to when he said that, but Zelda still managed to react to it almost immediately.

Zelda stood up from his seat and walked up to Su Ming. He first bowed slightly before he said, “Great Prophet, after he came to the Elf Valley, he was very humble.”

“However, he didn’t reveal much about the Vast Flame Kingdom. I was just about to report to you and see how we can solve this problem.”
