Chapter 725 - World Congress - Part 5

Zhang Mengyao saw the options in front of her. Since she was the designated leader, the option appeared only for her. She shared the options for the others to see as well.

——————————

[Do you want to turn off the canceling noise? (Yes) (No)]

[Do you want to turn off the barrier? (Yes) (No)]

[Do you like to send a private message to other factions?]

Note: Violence or killing is not allowed during the World Congress. The Violator will be forcefully expelled from the World Congress and receive a -10 levels penalty. The Violator's faction will be blacklisted for the next two World Congress!]

——————————

There was an option where they could turn off the canceling noise only, meaning they could still communicate even though they were behind the barrier. Zhang Mengyao, Cao Jingyi, and Kang Xue turned around to discuss their move.

"What do you guys think?" Zhang Mengyao asked for their opinion. Kang Jiayi scanned the surroundings, and no one had turned off their barrier to have a discussion with the other factions. Most of them were still inside the barrier to have a discussion among themselves.

"Does it really matter to us whether it is a Battle Royal or a Fighting Competition?" Lu An was the first one to voice out his thoughts. "Since I believe Lord Tang Shaoyang is the highest level player, the Fighting Competition is the best bet for us, but do we lose in a Battle Royal with Lord Tang Shaoyang on our side? In the end, it does not matter which event it is; we will win the event."

Kang Jiayi was flabbergasted with how confident Lu An was. He did not share the same view as Lu An in this case. He was more cautious and assumed the highest level player was from the other factions instead.

"The event is not that important for us. I agree with Lu An, the event does not matter to us, but don't we need to form diplomatic relationships with the other factions? At least, we need to try to find out the other factions' capability." Cao Jingyi did not focus on the event. It was not that attractive because she had not seen the reward yet. She felt it was more important to have a good relationship with the other VIP factions instead of thinking about the vote.

They fell silent after hearing Cao Jingyi's words. But Zhang Mengyao then shook her head. "Are you sure we want to form a diplomatic relationship with the other faction? I mean, we know nothing about them but their faction name. If we want to form a diplomatic relationship, it should be the faction from our region, not the one that is far from our region."

"You have a point." Cao Jingyi agreed. "But should we get to know each other at the least? No farm from doing that?"

"If you want to know each other with the other factions, please don't include me in that troublesome task. I will just sit here and watch." Yu Shun was not interested in doing small talk and formal stuff. "I am not good at talking, especially with strangers."

"I am the same. I am afraid I will harm others instead." Lu An followed his statement while his gaze locked on the First Order Guild. If he got out of this barrier, he might end up pulling out his sword and killing those people.

"I think we should have brought my people instead." Li Shuang said in regret. They did not know what this World Congress was about, so they brought the strong people instead of HR people.

"Does that mean we agree that the vote does not matter?" Wei Xi interjected. "From the situation, the smaller factions undoubtedly will vote for the Battle Royal because they will have a fair chance to win in that event. Even if all the VIP factions vote for the fighting Competition, we will only have 330 votes, and there are 62 smaller factions. In total, the smaller factions will have 620 votes, almost double the VIP's votes."

"But I think we should still vote for the Fighting Competition. The System does not explain the details about the Battle Royal, but we have a high chance to win the Fighting Competition with Lord Tang Shaoyang." Liang Suyin, who maintained her silence all the time, voiced her thoughts.

"That's true. What if the System spawns the participants separately instead of in a group in the Battle Royal? If we get ganged up by the other factions, we still can lose. But it's different if it is a fighting competition. We fight in an arena, individually or in a group, and our enemy can't gang up on us." Lu An followed up with approval.

"Especially if Lord Tang Shaoyang is with us. I don't think we will lose in the Fighting Competition." Li Na agreed.

"Does that mean we agree to vote in the Fighting Competition?" Zhang Mengyao asked.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Kang Jiayi called it three times while looking at his group in the thunderstruck. "Where's that confidence coming from? Didn't we agree to assume the highest level player from the other factions? If we agree on that, we should vote for Battle Royal instead. I know you admire Lord Tang Shaoyang, but we can't blindly judge like that."

The Fire Witch Liang Suyin shook her head. "I am confident a hundred percent that Lord Tang Shaoyang is that highest player. You just haven't witnessed how he fought, Sir Kang. If you have seen him fight, you will have the same confidence that he is the highest level player." Liang Suyin had seen Tang Shaoyang fight against the knights in the Arkania Continent, including the Dragon Transformation.

"If you ask Cao Yuntai, Gu Yingjie, and Fan Rui, they will have the same answer as me." Those three names were the people who followed Tang Shaoyang into the Arkania Continent in the Survival Game. They witnessed how Tang Shaoyang fought against the beast, the knights that were far stronger than them.

"I have also watched him fight. That's why I believe Lord Tang Shaoyang is the highest level player." Li Na nodded her head. She was in the same group as Tang Shaoyang in the last portal of the Survival Game.

Those answers left Kang Jiayi speechless. He wanted to refute them, but he could not counter their argument since he had not seen Tang Shaoyang's full power.

"Let's hold this discussion for now. We have guests." Cao Jingyyi interjected while pointing toward the side of the barrier.. A group was standing there, waving their hands at them while smiling.
