Chapter 169 – 10cm Heels (1/2)
TN: Chapter 168 was not related to the story, might come back later
Lin Xiao didn’t know what Rosie wanted, he was completely focused on the competition.
Today was officially the second day of Despair Island, everything was normal, although in the beginning, they encountered a short assault, everything was going rather swimmingly. They steadily gathered silver leaf fruits for points and they already amassed 18 points. It’s not considered much, but at least they have some.
Under Lin Xiao’s command, everyone worked low-profile and slowly headed towards the center of the island.
The silver leaf fruit was sparse in the surroundings of the island, even if you strained your eyes you would be lucky to find one or two in the shrubbery. The fruits were more concentrated closer to the center of the island. It’s said that there’s even a secret location at the center fill of silver leaf fruits, dubbed as the ‘Silver Vault’. Whoever discovers that treasure vault can get 100 points!
100 points could make up for around 5 fights, this was a considerable reward to any team. Points without any risk was better than a struggle to the death, so everyone headed towards the center of the island, Lin Xiao likewise.
They would inevitably encounter enemies as they head towards the center, the island didn’t have a large area, so 100 teams would eventually meet and there was no escape.
Although Lin Xiao’s strategy was to avoid battle, it didn’t mean he was afraid of it. He would never be careless against enemies they had to finish off (he would run behind everyone immediately, and order Caesar to start killing). The reason he doesn’t want to fight is because he doesn’t want to waste time on small fries (definitely not because he wanted to slack off).
Since they can’t avoid battle, then conserving energy became most important. Lin Xiao created a practical plan.
Called, operation handsome man. Obviously, Caesar Alex, the handsome fifth prince was the core of the plan.
Not only can he use his handsome face to attract little girls, under Lin Xiao’s use he can even turn it into a deadly weapon!
「 I’m Lombard Kingdom’s fifth prince, Caesar Alex! Put down your weapons and hand over your crystals you plebians, then I shall spare your lives! 」
That imposing line was something Lin Xiao specially designed for Caesar, he would shout it to anyone they meet, it was the first step of the operation.
In order to give Caesar an aura of superiority, and feel high and mighty so that the others couldn’t endure and have an urge to beat the shit out of him, Lin Xiao had to give him directions, from expression to actions, from posture to tone, even including hairstyle and his eyes, he adjusted all of it to an exceptional level.
Although Caesar was a block of wood, he was good sculptable timber. After some practice, he quickly grasped the quintessence of the line!
So, Caesar would shout that line whenever they encountered an enemy. Although he wasn’t too willing himself, it made him feel idiotic… please, which royalty would be so self-important?
Not fighting the enemy right when seeing them and even announcing one’s own identity and name, is he not afraid of getting beat to death?
But he had no choice, this was Lin Xiao’s orders. He lost to Lin Xiao during voting, so since Lin Xiao was the leader now, he could only obediently follow his orders.
So, once the enemy heard Caesar’s roar, plus his handsome face that looks like it needs a beating, they would typically respond like so.
“Prince? I don’t know, but the one I want to hit is a prince!”
“Is a prince really powerful? Do you know chaining?”
Then, Caesar would draw his sword, fuse magic and battle aura, forcing his energy out and blinding everyone!
The result was all their attention being attracted by Caesar!
This was the second step of the plan, to attract the enemy’s attention!
Actually, Caesar wasn’t actually using his moves, he was just following Lin Xiao’s instructions to pretend like he was, simply pushing a small portion of his energy outside his body just to create the light. This way, he wouldn’t waste any energy and would just be letting out light, like a LED. He was the brightest source of light on the island, and drew everyone’s attention towards him.
And so, they could advance to the last step of the plan.
Shiiiing.
The sound arrived before her.
The red high heels and green forest in the background contrasted, that beautiful image travelled about in the darkness like a demon, sheathing, unsheathing, blood-curdling screech, all in one breath.
While everyone was distracted by Caesar, Shen DaiYing would ambush them, and take out one of the enemies in the quickest amount of time and with the least cost.
Shen DaiYing’s fatal sword was the actual core of the plan!
