Chapter 927 Solving the Problem Setter
Huo Yuhao stared straight into Ye Nanxiao's eyes, speaking with unwavering conviction, but he saw no surprise on Ye Nanxiao's face.
Ye Nanxiao remained calm, as if he had expected to say this all along.
"You... anticipated this all along?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Ye Nanxiao smiled, not answering Huo Yuhao's question, but instead saying, "Do you know why I had Qiu'er scare that Alliance Leader Nangong?"
"These are almost all war soul tools that have already been replaced. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are probably many more that are still hidden in the shadows and haven't surfaced yet, or they might not show themselves to us," Huo Yuhao replied immediately.
"Is this your reason for wanting to blow this place up?" Ye Nanxiao still had a smile on his face, but it carried a hint of disappointment.
"These things are hard to take with us, we can't leave them here to be used as weapons by Xu Tianran!" Huo Yuhao said.
"Have you considered the consequences of blowing this place up?"
"Have you considered that if an explosion were to occur here, the area within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on the Xishui Alliance would collapse? This would be almost half of Mingdu. Add to that the location of the major sects in Mingdu, and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, whose warehouses are all massive. If a chain of explosions were to occur, do the math and see if Mingdu could withstand it?"
"Once Mingdu collapses, let me do the math for you. On average, each city block will have at least tens of thousands of people."
Ye Nanxiao calmly recited one data point after another.
However, Huo Yuhao remained as calm as ever.
"I know that the entire population of Mingdu will be affected," Huo Yuhao said calmly.
Now it was Ye Nanxiao's turn to change his expression. He thought that Huo Gua had acted impulsively and used his ultimate move without considering the consequences.
But now, this kid is planning to trade something small for something big!
He solved the trolley problem!
"I don't remember giving you the answer before. I told you to find the answer yourself. It seems you've found it today, hasn't you?" Ye Nanxiao's emotions quickly returned to normal.
In fact, even if he were to solve this problem, he wouldn't be able to give a perfect answer.
However, this problem is not just about solving a small number of people. Mingdu certainly has a lot of soul tools, but even without these soul tools, will Xu Tianran stop his expansion?
Absolutely not.
Even if the Mingdu Imperial Palace is bombed today, Xu Tianran will not stop.
Even if Mingdu is gone, there will still be Dongdu and Ancheng to support Xu Tianran's ambitions.
Hearing Ye Nanxiao's words, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath.
"I'm still looking for answers, but problems always need to be solved to prevent them from escalating into bigger ones."
"If only one person has to be sacrificed, I hope that person is me."
Ye Nanxiao patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. Thankfully, he hasn't gone astray; he's still the same Huo Yuhao.
"Want to know my answer? Let's look at it from the problem's perspective. If we have the ability, we should go and solve the problem by tearing down the tracks and kicking down the tram!"
"If you have the ability, break the rules; if you don't, perish together with them."
After saying that, Ye Nanxiao turned around and disappeared into thin air again.
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly and used his mental energy to scan a large area around where Ye Nanxiao had disappeared.
However, nothing was found.
Suddenly, Ye Nanxiao's head popped out of the air, and he said with a smile, "Don't waste your energy. My current level is beyond your reach. You can't find me!"
"Don't be so stubborn, big bug. Get more sleep every day and keep your brain sharp."
After saying that, Ye Nanxiao shrank back, leaving Huo Yuhao, whose face turned slightly red with embarrassment at being seen through.
"Damn it, Yuhao! That fox actually looked down on me!"
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm churned and rolled in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, panting heavily.
It! A million-year-old soul beast! The first intelligent soul ring in history!
I was actually looked down upon by a fox!?
As expected, a simple-minded ice silkworm like me can't understand a cunning fox.
"Reach the level of Mud Sauce? What exactly is that?" Huo Yuhao asked with a bitter face. He felt that the gap between himself and Ye Nanxiao had widened again.
"Maybe the fox is just teasing you, don't take it seriously."
Compared to the troubled Huo Yuhao, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm appeared remarkably calm, even lazy.
It cannot learn the cunning of a fox.
But it really liked the idea of catching fish that the fox mentioned.
Ice Emperor slapped Tianmeng Ice Silkworm away, rolled her eyes at him, and comforted Huo Yuhao, saying, "It's okay, Yuhao, we'll catch up with Xue'er and the others someday! Keep it up!"
Like Huo Yuhao, Bingdi regards Ye Nanxiao and Xuedi as her targets and is determined to surpass them.
A passionate man and his soul, along with lazy insects and bears.
Ice Bear King Xiaobai has already drifted off to sleep.
"Just what level are those two guys at?"
The comrade Ye Nanxiao that Hyotei was so concerned about was currently wearing the Frozen Flower and following behind Huo Yuhao.
He becomes invisible, making it easier for the protagonist to perform.
"Xiao'er, could that trolley problem you mentioned have been an idea from that stinky bug Tianmeng?"
Ye Nanxiao thought about it and felt that it was probably unlikely. Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was known as the Intelligent Soul Ring, the trolley problem was not a problem that could be reflected in this world.
Because of cultivation, ordinary people still live together with Soul Masters.
Even an electric train can't withstand a punch from a Title Douluo.
"That's unlikely. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's intelligence lies in the wisdom it accumulates over its long life, but it has never entered the human world before. Instead, it has always stayed in the world of soul beasts," Ye Nanxiao said, shaking his head.
"If it truly comprehends human wisdom, it might receive a call from above."
If the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm were to merge its own wisdom with human wisdom, becoming a unique wisdom on this continent, then the divine realm might actually sense something.
"Tsk, that stinky bug even kidnapped Bing'er! It's been so long since I've seen Bing'er," Xue Di muttered.
Huo Gua is a chosen one, while she and Ye Nanxiao are intruders; it's really not easy to get close to them without a reason.
Who knows, that guy with the fork might be waiting to launch a sneak attack!
Huo Yuhao and the others were welcomed into a luxurious reception room, where maids kept bringing in food.
Faced with a dazzling array of delicious food, Qiu'er only glanced at it, showing little interest.
Nangong Pen jogged over carrying a recording device, handed it to Qiu'er, and said with a fawning smile, "Honored guest, look, these are all the best war soul tools!"
Qiu'er made a casual swipe, and there were quite a few.
"Lich, take a look for yourself. Just tell me what you like." Qiu'er tossed the recorder to Huo Yuhao.
The latest novel is first published here!
Nangong Pen hurriedly instructed the maids to bring several more recording devices and distribute them.
As Dai Huabin looked at the list of soul tools, a chill ran through him.
At least half of the soul tools on these devices are currently in use by the Star Luo Empire!
Soul tools, which the Sun Moon Empire has phased out, are an important defensive force for the Star Luo Empire!
The disparity between them left him feeling incredibly disheartened and deeply powerless.
The gap between empires is terrifying; it's like an insurmountable chasm.
If Ye Nanxiao's analysis is correct, and war breaks out in the future, will the Star Luo Empire be able to withstand the Sun Moon Empire's numerous war soul tools?
"Don't overthink things. Focus on our mission objective."
A voice transmission suddenly rang in Dai Huabin's ear.
Dai Huabin was startled, and immediately a feeling of unwillingness to admit defeat arose in his heart. The one who sent him the message was none other than his long-time nemesis!
Huo Yuhao!
Looking at Huo Yuhao's calm and collected demeanor, Dai Huabin's competitive spirit instantly rose, and the fear in his heart gradually subsided.
Seeing Dai Huabin return to normal, Huo Yuhao smiled. Sometimes, the identity of a nemesis can be quite useful.
He Caitou observed the structure of the reception room, looking for its weak points.
Once the mission is forcibly initiated, it becomes a mobile fortress.
Huo Yuhao quickly finished reading all the soul tools recorded on the recorder.
There were actually five large war behemoths, which was something he hadn't expected.
The top-tier war soul tool possesses a massive body, powerful bursts of energy, and a terrifying consumption of soul power.
It also has a name: Siege Behemoth.
One device costs 100 million gold soul coins, and this is a soul tool that has been damaged in battle, with most of its performance lost.
Even so, the metal components of the core magic array are still very popular, especially among those who want to take shortcuts and make a quick buck.
Who knows, this core magic array might be able to generate a new level nine soul tool.
"The city-penetrating cannon can only exert 20% of its original power, no wonder it ended up here being sold."
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and quickly thought for a moment.
"These items, those items, and a war behemoth, let's quote a price for them all. I'm sure Alliance Leader Nangong will give a reasonable discount, right?" Huo Yuhao's tone was slightly playful.
Nangong Pen was now in a bit of a dilemma. If someone wanted to buy it, he would naturally try to drive up the price and get more bidders to maximize his profits.
But these people are the second generation within the Holy Church!
Xishui Alliance is an important company in the Nangongwan faction.
He didn't even recognize a single one of these second-generation rich kids; they were clearly not from his faction.
To sell one's own faction's interests to another faction?
Nangong Wan will kill him.
"Distinguished guests, this matter is negotiable! It's just that, who are your teachers? Perhaps your fathers are VIPs of our Xishui Alliance! They might be able to get an even bigger discount!" Nangong Pen said with a smile.
He was almost moved by his own intelligence!
This way, we can give these second-generation rich kids face while also finding out which faction sent them to cause trouble!
Qiu'er snorted coldly and said to Huo Yuhao, "Tell him who you are!"
All eyes quietly turned to Huo Yuhao.
What kind of development?
Does Yuhao have a plan?
What plan?
what?
Huo Yuhao was instantly overwhelmed, but he still understood Qiu'er's meaning, his eyes filled with a gray haze.
A chilling aura erupted from him, sending a group of tables and chairs flying.
A skeleton knight appeared amidst billowing black mist.
