Chapter 840: The Scheme to Usurp Power
Chapter 840: The Scheme to Usurp Power
Ha ha."
Lin Sai gave a shy laugh at Leaf Haiya.
For the sake of safety and information confidentiality, he could send a friend request to Leaf Haiya.
But if he were to reveal his true identity to this Organizer, it would be more than Lin Sai could bear.
"..."
"Alright, I understand."
Leaf Haiya read the meaning behind Lin Sai's smile.
She wasn't overly persistent about it, understanding his thoughts, and quickly changed the subject.
"Lin Sai, there's one more thing."
"A few weeks ago, when that fire dragon attacked my city, I wasn't in the castle. But as soon as I realized the danger, I hurried back, only to find the battle had just ended."
"According to my subordinates who were left to defend the city, a man and a woman took the initiative to strike, directly killing the Seventh Stage dragon beast on the floating satellite island."
Lin Sai's expression became subtle as he heard the beginning of her story.
As Leaf Haiya finished speaking, his gaze almost drifted to the ceiling:
"Yes, a powerful individual capable of defeating a Seventh Stage dragon beast."
"It was fortunate that such a powerful individual was there to help protect the city while you were away. As for me, with my craft at only the Fifth Stage of awakening, there was nothing I could do at the time."
Leaf Haiya stared intently into Lin Sai's eyes:
"That night, you also happened to leave."
Lin Sai seemed to casually avert his gaze:
"Yes, what a coincidence."
The next moment, Lin Sai met Leaf Haiya's deep blue eyes.
He turned away, but the Silver Witch stood up and blocked his line of sight:
"Lin Sai, why do you think I saved you when you were at the center of the temporal turmoil?"
"..."
Lin Sai fell silent.
Leaf Haiya continued, revealing the truth:
"The ones who killed that dragon beast were you and your companion, right?"
"I had my doubts about your strength, but your demonstrated craft and level of understanding have far surpassed that of a typical Awakened. I must admit that you have the potential to accomplish such a feat."
"And for an Organizer, I believe I don't need to explain the importance of a city and its people, do I?"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lin Sai decided to be honest:
"Alright, I did take some of your things."
"And to be honest, those days in the Silver City were when I changed my identity and deceived you all."
Leaf Haiya interrupted:
"Compared to my city and people, what are those things worth?"
The Seventh Stage Organizer straightened her posture.
With an unprecedented seriousness, she bowed to Lin Sai, symbolizing her current intention:
"Lin Sai, thank you very much."
This time, Lin Sai didn't dodge or avoid her:
"Yes, it's the least I could do."
The conversation about the past ended there.
The relationship between the two had subtly changed.
Leaf Haiya took a step towards the table, appearing to pour out the remaining half cup of water, but in reality, she had opened the friend channel again.
Leaf Haiya: [Lin Sai, I know you want to protect the secrets of your craft, and I don't intend to pry.]
Leaf Haiya: [But for the sake of unified action, tell me what you plan to do with this mechanical species. I swear on my city and its people that I will do my best to repay your help.]
Regarding this, Lin Sai decided not to hide anything.
After all, with Leaf Haiya staying with him in the Mech Clan's camp, it would be impossible to conceal his plans from the Organizer before him.
Lin Sai: [As I mentioned before, one of my crafts is a powerful skill that selects a city and develops a strong faction.]
Action:
Lindsey: [Let me explain in detail. The general process is like this—first, you need to invest essence to transform a populated city center; then, you collect resources, develop the population, and construct the city's buildings. At the same time, these buildings and the population loyal to me will provide a lot of help.]
Lindsey explained the Real-Time Strategy module in great detail.
Leaf Haiya listened quietly.
At first, she calmly tried to understand, but as Lindsey continued, the mysterious RTS-like abilities far exceeded her understanding of organizational skills.
Leaf Haiya: [Lindsey, wait!]
Leaf Haiya: [I originally thought your skill was similar to that of an imitator.]
Leaf Haiya: [The so-called development of city power is also imitating what the organizer has. But now it seems that your skill is fundamentally different from us organizers, only in the form of expression is somewhat similar.]
Leaf Haiya's summary was spot on.
When Lindsey was in the desolate world, many people misunderstood him as an organizer. Now, having found a kindred spirit, his attitude became eager.
Lindsey: [You're absolutely right!]
Leaf Haiya: [I have some general ideas, but I still need some time.]
Lindsey: [To make the mechanical species my subjects, we must definitely improve our relationship and establish our positions. This process will undoubtedly take some time.]
Leaf Haiya: [This species, in their thirst for knowledge and self-positioning, has not refused any of your teachings since our first meeting. They accept knowledge wholeheartedly. I think this approach is very good, and we can continue from here.]
Lindsey: [Teaching knowledge does earn respect.]
Lindsey: [But for the mechanical species, they have a core that integrates and issues commands. So it's extremely difficult to transfer the ruler's position to me, making it impossible to establish the territory.]
At this point, Leaf Haiya suddenly laughed.
Just as Lindsey was puzzled, the Silver Witch patted his shoulder and pointed at herself with her index finger.
Leaf Haiya: [Look carefully, who's sitting across from you now?]
Lindsey: [You?]
Leaf Haiya: [A Seven-Stage Organizer!]
Leaf Haiya: [Rest assured, even if I don't have any subordinates now, my normal skills can't be fully utilized. But I understand the transfer of ruling power. Lindsey, as long as you gain the respect you deserve through teaching, I can help you with the ruling power.]
Grala-la—
At this moment, a servant machine passed by outside.
It was distributing food to the humans in the safety zone.
Due to Lindsey's day-long teachings, the machines that shared his knowledge also held a special respect for him. Compared to other humans, when distributing today's food, they even gave Lindsey an extra meat pie.
"Mr. Lindsey, your lunch."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. If you need it, you can call me over to take you on a walk around the base."
"Thank you."
Grala-la—
After a brief conversation, the servant machine left again.
But what it didn't know was that it had just served Lindsey and Leaf Haiya.
These two, seemingly living quietly on the surface.
In reality, they were in the friend channel, continuously discussing how to obtain the ruling power of the mechanical species.
