Star God Battlegear

Chapter 111 Alliance?

"Want to ally with us?"

Mu Zhiqing was taken aback when she heard the words, obviously Zhou Lin's answer was beyond her expectation.

On the other hand, Chen Shi was also a little surprised.

"Roushui Academy wants to form an alliance with us?" He still clearly remembered that Nan Fei, the leader of Tianhai Academy, had such an idea.

"Why?" Mu Zhiqing asked Chen Shi's doubts.

Nan Fei of Tianhai Academy hoped to tie Roushui Academy to his own battlefield by fighting against a common enemy, but it seemed unsuccessful, so why did Zhou Lin take the initiative to come here now and say that he wanted to form an alliance?
What is the reason for her to do so?

Chen Shi didn't believe that the other party would come here for no reason, and he didn't think that the other party was doing it to repay him for his previous actions on the auxiliary ship.

Immediately, both Chen Shi and Mu Zhiqing held their breath, ready to listen to Zhou Lin's answer.

"Don't get me wrong, what I'm talking about is just a temporary alliance." Zhou Lin began to express her thoughts, "There is a prerequisite for this so-called alliance."

"What conditions?" Mu Zhiqing asked.

"This condition, that is, the various assessments that will follow are still unconventional." Zhou Lin responded.

"Unconventional?" Chen Shi chewed the word slowly, feeling a little weird in his heart.

"That's right, it's unconventional." Zhou Lin seemed to see the doubts in Chen Shi's heart, so she explained with a smile, "I said this in relation to regular games."

Then, without waiting for Chen Shi and others to continue to ask questions, she confides her own opinion.

"The so-called regular competition means that the contestants follow the normal competition rules, either confronting, competing, racing, or striving to advance or eliminate others," Zhou Lin said clearly, "In short, routine The competition embodies all kinds of interactions among the contestants, the winner is promoted and the loser is eliminated. Although the forms are different, it is always a process of mutual game."

"I understand." Chen Shi scratched his hair, "What do you mean to say that the selection competition we are participating in is probably not a competition among contestants, but more likely to be completed under the constraints of the rules? certain tasks."

"It seems to be the case now," Zhou Lin nodded with a smile, "Didn't we conduct the previous Tianzi assessment under the constraints of the rules? But..."

Then she turned around and continued.

"In terms of rules, there are a few of them, which are marked with authorization or not. I speculate that there should also be confrontation in this selection competition, so..."

"That's why you proposed a temporary alliance, right?" Mu Zhiqing took over the topic, "If it is an assessment similar to the previous one in the form of completing tasks, then we are allies, and if it is a confrontational assessment, then we are allies." We're still enemies, competing with each other, right?"

"Yes," Zhou Lin laughed, "As long as it is not a confrontation link, we are allies with each other. This will undoubtedly improve the survivability of both of us. Even if we are enemies for a while, as long as we enter a new link, we can continue to work together allies, and, even in adversarial situations, we can unite against others before turning hostile."

"This week Lin..." Chen Shi looked at the eloquent woman in front of him, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

In fact, the meaning of Zhou Lin's words is very simple - she divided the content that may appear in the selection competition into two parts, cooperation and confrontation!
Cooperation is to work together to complete the task, and those who cannot complete the task will be eliminated.

The confrontation is a zero-sum game between the contestants, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated.

And Zhou Lin's proposal, that is, when cooperation is needed, Roushui Academy, Chen Shi and others will face it together as allies, and when confrontation is needed, this alliance will automatically end.

Again and again!
What she said was open and aboveboard, without any affectation, giving Chen Shi a feeling of being a hero among women.

Of course, when the word "Xiaoxiong" is used on a young woman like Zhou Lin, it naturally seems a bit nondescript, so Chen Shi quickly put this absurd feeling behind him, and seriously thought about Zhou Lin's proposal.

I have to say that Zhou Lin's proposal is very tempting and practical. The reason why the group was able to escape safely on the auxiliary ship was because of Chen Shi on the one hand, and Su Yan could not be ignored on the other hand. And Zhao Nan's help.

Here, Su Yan is from Roushui College.

but……

There are still some questions that Chen Shi didn't think clearly.

"Why did you choose us?" He finally decided to directly ask his question, "Nan Fei and his Tianhai Academy are stronger than us, at least they have a unified leader."

The implication of Chen Shi's words is undoubtedly telling Zhou Lin that there is still a danger of internal strife on their side of Lingu Academy.

This is actually easy to see. Not long ago, when the three colleges were still struggling on the shuttle, the two "alumni" Chen Shi and Li Xian had an obvious conflict.

And these words made Mu Zhiqing feel uncomfortable - at least in name, she was still the leader of Lingu Academy, but she also knew that what Chen Shi said was true.

"There are two reasons why we chose to cooperate with you instead of Tianhai Academy."

Zhou Lin smiled, and then answered Chen Shi's question.

"First, Nan Fei is definitely not a good partner. Cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. He cares more about how to use us than working together to solve problems. What he needs are subordinates, not partners."

"Huh?" Chen Shi looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise, he didn't expect Nan Fei's various plans to be seen through by her.

"Secondly, Nanfei's Tianhai Academy has certain advantages compared to you, but its disadvantages are also obvious."

"Advantages and disadvantages?"

"Well," Zhou Lin nodded and continued, "Tianhai Academy's advantage is more reflected in combat power. If this is true in a normal competition, it will naturally have a great advantage, but in this selection competition, I have no doubts about this Not optimistic, on the contrary, the reason why we were able to pass the Tianzi assessment before was not relying on combat power, but... comprehensive ability."

"What do you mean?" A thoughtful expression appeared on Mu Zhiqing's face.

"The teams of our two colleges are highly complementary!" Zhou Lin said, looking at Su Yan beside her, and then shifting her gaze to Chen Shi and Zhao Nan, "Su Yan in our team Yan is a mechanical genius, I think you guys already know something about this..."

"Hmph!" Zhao Nan snorted coldly.

But Chen Shi and Mu Zhiqing nodded involuntarily, they really have a deep understanding of this point.

"...And Zhao Nan in your team has excellent network skills!"

Zhou Lin's words immediately made Zhao Nan smile, and the latter suddenly felt that Zhou Lin looked quite pleasing to the eye this week.

Zhou Lin didn't finish her sentence.

"In addition, I think Chen Shi in your team also has important advantages, and he has excellent experience in certain aspects. All of these will become the basis of our cooperation."

Zhou Lin said, looked at Mu Zhiqing, and said, "How about it, you have no loss in this matter, and both of you will benefit from cooperation."

Mu Zhiqing lowered his head and muttered.

She is weighing the pros and cons.

After coming over for a while, she raised her head again: "There is no basis for what you say, we will not agree to it just based on your words, in case you go back on your word in the future..."

"Isn't it necessary to sign an agreement for this?" Zhou Lin seemed a little helpless, "We came here with sincerity."

"..."

Mu Zhiqing became silent again. She also knew that it was absolutely not suitable to leave any written evidence for such an agreement outside of the arena, but... if she agreed to rely on Zhou Lin's one-sided words, it would seem a bit hasty.

"I can't give you an answer for the time being, because we still have two members who are not present, and I will give you an answer after the discussion."

In the end, Mu Zhiqing could only answer in this way.

Zhou Lin nodded. It seemed that she didn't expect Mu Zhiqing to agree with such a simple statement.

"I hope you can give an answer as soon as possible, so that we can proceed to the next step of the plan." She said, stood up from the chair, and was about to leave.

And beside her, Su Yan, who has been shy and silent since entering the room, looked at Chen Shi, opened her small cherry mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally stood up with Zhou Lin, Walk towards the door.

"Wait a minute, I have another question." At this moment, Mu Zhiqing said suddenly, "Why did you come to find Chen Shi?"

"Because he looks more trustworthy." After leaving such a sentence, Zhou Lin and Su Yan left the room.

"Huh..." Chen Shi let out a long sigh of relief, then turned to look at Mu Zhiqing and Zhao Nan, the meaning was obvious - those two have left, you two are fine, shouldn't you also leave up?
Chen Shi still has something about "spiritual power meditation" in his heart.

But Mu Zhiqing obviously didn't intend to leave quickly, she turned around and looked at Chen Shi squarely.

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Chen Shi asked with some doubts. In his opinion, the original intention of these two people coming here should be to tell him about the failure of the photon network.

Now that everything has been negotiated, it is natural to leave.

"Of course." Faced with Chen Shi's question, Mu Zhiqing nodded and said, "Since Zhou Lin and the others have finished their business, it's my turn to do it next."

"What? Didn't you come here to tell me about the photon network?" Chen Shi was even more puzzled.

"This is just one of them. Is there another thing?" Mu Zhiqing smiled lightly and stood up.

"What?" Chen Shi's doubts continued unabated.

"Come with me to the business street below." Mu Zhiqing tidied up her clothes.

"What?" Chen Shi thought he heard it wrong.
