"What's wrong?"
Facing Lin Que's hesitant expression, Black Rabbit, who had been full of confidence, became less assured.
"Is there something wrong with my method?"
Lin Que shook his head, "No problem, in fact, it has high feasibility."
"It's just that I don't understand why you would go such a long way to solve the problem."
Black Rabbit tilted her head, "Is there another way?"
"Of course there is."
Lin Que clarified, "Since Perseus is our biggest competitor, why don't we just solve the problem at its source?"
"Just get rid of Perseus and take their assets."
"Combined with the money we get from selling the Divinity, we can ensure everything is foolproof."
No matter what, a Divinity is also a top-tier Gift.
The money obtained from selling it, while not comparable to the assets of those veteran Communities, is still a substantial income.
As long as they also acquire Perseus's assets, No Name's financial standing could completely leap to the level of a veteran Community in a short amount of time.
Buying Leticia at the auction would be more than enough.
"W-wait a minute!"
After hearing Lin Que's words, Black Rabbit was completely stunned.
"You need to calm down!"
"This isn't the outside world! Attacking other Communities without authorization will get you purged by Lady White Yasha!"
"Even if you are a Pure-blooded Dragon, Lin Que, you couldn't possibly win against Lady White Yasha head-on, could you?!"
"Do you think I'm like you?"
Lin Que was somewhat exasperated by this silly rabbit's thought process: "If we're going to make a move, of course, it will be through a Gift Game."
In Hakoniwa, Communities with glorious histories and strong power in their ancestry usually prepare a Gift Game that recreates legendary content to enhance their reputation.
As one of the veteran Communities, Perseus is naturally no exception.
By clearing the legendary Gift Game they set up, one can obtain the right to challenge Perseus.
It seemed as if White Yasha feared Lin Que might not know about this or that Black Rabbit might fail at a crucial moment, so she specifically highlighted it in the intelligence.
Thanks to that, Lin Que now knows Perseus's Gift Game inside and out.
"Although it's a bit far, if we make a serious effort, clearing their Gift Game within a day isn't difficult."
"Clear it within a day?!"
Black Rabbit's ears on top of her head perked up again, perfectly displaying her owner's emotions.
"This way, saving Lady Leticia… Wait! You almost led me astray!"
Shaking her head, Black Rabbit finally reacted, "Even if what you say makes sense, this is too much!"
"Think about it carefully, Perseus doesn't seem to have done anything, they just want to participate in an auction."
"To crush them just for that, isn't that a bit too cruel?"
Legendary Gift Games are different from ordinary Gift Games; they involve wagering one's banner and name.
If Lin Que defeats them, it would be equivalent to taking Perseus's banner and name.
For a Community, this is no different from being disbanded.
Unlike in the original work, Leticia has not yet been bought by Perseus, nor has she experienced the series of events from the original work.
In Black Rabbit's eyes, Boirxiusi was just a slightly larger Community.
Even auctioning Leticia was for the sake of revitalizing the Community.
Just taking their flag like this was already akin to the actions of a Demon Lord.
"Are you questioning my decision?"
Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "Black Rabbit, I am the leader."
Black Rabbit immediately wilted: "Then I'll do as you say."
Thump!
"Wrong!"
Lin Que chopped down with a hand: "At this moment, you should reply with 'Lin Que, you'll regret this,' and then storm out!"
"What a useless rabbit. You're the Community's strategist, yet you can't even pick up a conversation."
"Besides being lewd, do you have no other use?"
"Ugh… Even if you say that, there's nothing I can do."
Black Rabbit hung her head, speaking weakly: "Although you've only been leader for just over a day, every decision you've made has brought considerable benefits to the No-Names."
"Rather than sticking to my own ideas, I think it's better to trust you."
"You're quite self-aware about how useless you are."
"Hey! I've already conceded, saying that is too much!"
"I'm complimenting you."
Lin Que said righteously: "Compared to an idiot who knows nothing and has their own ideas, you're already very good, Black Rabbit!"
"I didn't hear any compliment at all."
Black Rabbit sighed helplessly: "When are you planning to leave to break Boirxiusi's Gift Game?"
"After the auction."
"?"
"I changed my mind."
Lin Que yawned lazily: "Since you want to solve the problem through peaceful means, then let's do it your way."
Black Rabbit was somewhat moved: "Lin Que…"
"But as a price, you have to agree to two conditions."
Lin Que held up two fingers and wiggled them.
"First, dealing with those Communities is too troublesome; you handle the borrowing of money."
"Leave it to me!"
Black Rabbit puffed out her chest confidently: "I definitely won't disappoint you."
"That's good."
Lin Que, feeling a bit dizzy from the swaying balls, continued: "As for the second thing, it's much simpler."
"For the next month, just wear a maid outfit and call me Master."
"No problem… no way!"
Black Rabbit, who was about to agree, instantly reacted: "How is that simple? I can't do it at all!"
Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "So you mean to refuse, then~?"
"I don't mind, but it's a pity for Boirxiusi, as it's going to be destroyed because of a certain rabbit, and even I will be branded a demon."
Black Rabbit slapped the table in dissatisfaction: "Why are you threatening me with Boirxiusi and your own reputation?! This looks too strange no matter how you see it!"
"If you don't want this to happen, then don't do it yourself, hey!"
"Black Rabbit, as the No-Names' strategist, which day do you think is best to attack Boirxiusi?"
"Ahhh!!!"
Facing Lin Que's disregard, Black Rabbit became somewhat frantic: "I get it, I'll agree, alright?!"
Lin Que: "!!!"
"Why do you have such an incredulous expression?!"
"Nothing, just a bit startled."
So, this kind of threat could actually succeed?
Silently marveling at Black Rabbit's strange thought process, Lin Que fell into contemplation.
Which maid outfit should he choose?
