Building a skyscraper to survive, all the female colleagues in the company begged me to carry them.

"Seven Heroes?"

Chae Rim frowned even more deeply. "The top few people in this other world?"

"right."

"Is Xiao Zhenwei really that powerful? Even the Seven Heroes are taking action for him?"

Huang Tang leaned back in his chair, his tone calm and unhurried:

"According to the intelligence I've received, it seems the natives of the other world want to use Xiao Zhenwei to deal with the players."

"To put it bluntly, they were using Xiao Zhenwei as a pawn. The Seven Heroes saved him because he was still useful, not because he was that important."

Chae Rim remained silent for a while.

She tapped her knee twice with her fingers, a habitual way of thinking.

"Let's not talk about others for now."

Huang Tang interrupted her thoughts, "President Cai, do you remember the Top Ten Outstanding Youths in the Country before we entered the 'Building Survival' game?"

Cai Lin didn't understand why Huang Tang suddenly asked this question.

She looked up at Lan Mutang:

"I remember, wasn't Miss Lan, who was standing next to you, among them?"

Huang Tang was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Lan Mutang hadn't actually lied to him!

He asked Chae Rim, "When did you find out?"

Chae Rim said, "The first time I was on Goblin Island, I felt that Miss Lan looked very familiar, but the situation was too chaotic at the time, and I didn't have time to think about it carefully."

"I remembered it the second time we met."

"Are you sure?" Huang Tang asked.

Chae Rim nodded, her tone very firm, even carrying a hint of admiration:

"You don't know what position Miss Lan holds in the circle of young entrepreneurs."

"She solved a major problem in physics when she was seventeen, and it was featured on CCTV news that year."

"At the age of 21, a technology she developed was listed as a key national project. Later, her company became a well-known unicorn in the industry within a year of its establishment."

"So much so that many people online are saying that she must have a system or some kind of cheat code, otherwise there's no way to explain how someone could be proficient in everything!"

"Although I have never met Miss Lan in real life, I have seen her in magazines many times."

"I absolutely won't be wrong!"

Hearing someone praise her, Lan Mutang immediately looked up from the ceiling and chuckled.

"Mr. Cai, you flatter me."

"Actually, I'm not that good. I'm just... average, third in the world."

"It seems like only Newton and Einstein are ahead of me. If I hadn't suddenly entered a 'survival game' of building skyscrapers, surpassing them would only be a matter of time!"

Huang Tang turned his head to look at her: "You really aren't modest at all."

"Those are all my real skills, why should I be modest?"

Lan Mutang raised her chin high. "Master, now you can prove I wasn't lying to you, right?"

Huang Tang nodded with a wry smile: "I apologize to you!"

"I never imagined you, who seemed so unreliable, would actually be this amazing!"

Lan Mutang's face instantly lit up with a smile. She jumped up from her chair and spun around triumphantly: "I love that line!"

Just as Huang Tang was about to say something, a new message popped up on the system panel.

It was a private message from Xu Nianzhen.

Huang Tang clicked on it and scanned the contents.

He first frowned slightly, then quickly revealed a mischievous smile.

Chae Rim noticed the change in his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huang Tang closed the system panel and said, "The royal family of the other world and the eight-party alliance of European and American players have reached a cooperation agreement."

"Prepare to surround and annihilate me tomorrow!"

"The royal family is going to join forces with the eight allied armies to besiege you?"

Chae Rim was immediately taken aback upon hearing this.

Talia and Elodie also looked at Huang Tang in surprise.

Huang Tang nodded, crossed his hands on his knees, and looked very relaxed.

Chae Rim stared at him for two seconds: "Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"

"Why the rush?"

Huang Tang said calmly, "They're not coming until tomorrow, not now. A day is enough time for us to come up with a plan."

"But the Eight Great Alliances are no small force; they have hundreds of thousands of players!" Cai Lin said with professional caution. "Add to that the knights from another world and the Seven Heroes, and even if you're strong alone, you can't withstand it."

"Who says I'm alone?"

Huang Tang straightened up from the edge of the table and faced the crowd.

"There was no direct conflict between the eight-army alliance and me. The reason they agreed to cooperate with the royal family to besiege me was because I captured three cities in the past two days and seized too many supplies that should have fallen into their hands."

"Frankly speaking, this is a matter of profit distribution. If it can be solved with profit, there's no need to fight so desperately."

Chae Rim narrowed her eyes slightly: "So what conditions did the Eight-Power Alliance offer you?"

She didn't believe that the descendants of those pirates would easily let go of such an opportunity for extortion.

Huang Tang nodded: "They put forward two conditions."

"First, in this all-out dungeon, I can only conquer a maximum of 5 large towns, 10 medium towns, and 20 small towns."

"Secondly, I will give the eight allied forces 30 survival coins and 20 units of various materials as compensation."

After hearing this, Chae Rim almost started cursing on the spot.

"They're insane!"

"The initial conditions were negotiable, but 30 survival coins plus 20 units of materials are clearly an attempt to cut off our escape route!"

As the head housekeeper, she was naturally well aware of Huang Tang's current financial situation.

Survival Coins: 81+!

Over 30 materials of various kinds!

It looks like a lot, but Huang Tang painstakingly collected each item from multiple dungeons, one by one, with his life on the line!

Once they agree to the conditions of the eight allied forces, it will be difficult for them to remain in the top tier of players, which will result in a significant reduction in resource rewards!

in other words.

The eight-power alliance did not want to engage in a direct war with Huang Tang, but they used an agreement to completely stifle Huang Tang's development speed!

The abacus was clattering away!

Lan Mutang suddenly stood up, hands on her hips: "What kind of bullshit Eight Great Allied Forces are they? They're incredibly arrogant!"

"Let them do it, this queen is itching for a fight!"

Cai Lin turned to Huang Tang and suggested, "If all else fails, we can go back to our house and hide for a few days. The Eight Great Allied Forces can't keep an eye on you forever."

"Why hide? Wouldn't that just be giving them an easy victory?" Huang Tang sneered. "If we back down, they can give up one city today and another tomorrow! The appetite of the Eight-Alliance Army will only grow bigger until they drain us dry!"

"Moreover, although the eight-army alliance appears to be powerful, it is just a temporary alliance of tens of thousands of homeowners, not a single entity."

"Calling them a bunch of chickens and dogs wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

Seeing Huang Tang's confident demeanor, Cai Lin felt a surge of confidence herself and asked:

"Do you already have a plan?"

Huang Tang nodded, then looked at Joanna: "Summon all the Cardinals from the nearby Papacy immediately. I need their help!"

Joanna immediately replied, "No problem!"

Huang Tang then looked at Cai Lin:

"President Cai, once my [Escort] skill has cooled down, I will call Major Hu and the others over one by one."

"Your task is to teach everyone in the Church and the Cardinals how to drive tanks, how to load ammunition, and how to aim before nightfall tomorrow."
