"How is that possible!"
Esdeath looked at Lin Que, who had stopped her, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Why are you fine?!"
Lin Que retorted: "Why would I not be fine?"
"I clearly activated Makahapadma!"
Esdeath had an expression of incomprehension: "At this distance, there's no way to avoid it, you..."
"Hey, hey, hey~ fantasy time is over!"
Lin Que put his finger to Esdeath's lips, interrupting her statement.
"Setting aside whether it can be avoided, you seem to be overly confident in your ultimate technique."
"Your so-called Makahapadma is essentially freezing surrounding objects with an extremely low cold current."
"To counter it, the simplest method is naturally to neutralize it with corresponding high temperatures."
"Besides that, it's also possible to block the cold current with special armor, but of course, I don't need to go to such trouble."
Lin Que raised his palm and casually tapped the air.
Bang~!
A crisp shattering sound, like glass hitting the ground, rang out.
The ice-blue world disappeared, and the howling of the cold wind, accompanied by falling snowflakes, reappeared.
"Do you understand now? Your cold current is too weak; it can't freeze me at all, which is why I can move freely. It's that simple."
"My cold qi is too weak?"
Esdeath stood frozen in place, looking as if she was questioning her existence.
In fact, it wasn't just Esdeath.
After witnessing Lin Que's performance, even other group members who thought they had some understanding of his strength were astonished.
Ben Zi Na: "That's simple my foot!"
Avenger: "Do you want to see what you're saying.jpg"
Fanma Baki: "A blow that freezes time and space... this new person is really strong."
Furniture City Expert: "Fortunately, I don't have such terrifying enemies, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to run."
Kaguya-sama: "Yes, it's truly outrageous."
Hair Gel Hand: "What a pity, she ran into Lin Que (Administrator)."
Esdeath's strength, even in Aizen's eyes, was considered quite good.
Even that large-scale attack that froze time and space, even he couldn't completely avoid it; at most, he could pull back in advance or set up illusions to mislead the opponent.
If she hadn't encountered Lin Que, who could withstand it with his bare body and even move freely as if nothing had happened, Esdeath wouldn't have lost so badly.
"I lost."
On the other side, after a brief silence, Esdeath finally accepted her defeat.
"As agreed, I am willing to believe in the existence of the chat group and pay the price."
[Group member 'Sea King' defeated Imperial General 'Esdeath', world reputation increased by 400 points, rewarded 120,000 group points.]
Hair Gel Hand: "So, as long as the identity is sufficient, even defeating a group member can earn world reputation."
Ben Zi Na: "Hiss~ I suddenly have a bold idea."
Nami: "I thought of it too."
Kaguya-sama: "@Ice Queen, interested in cooperating? You pretend to lose to me, I get the points and share a portion with you."
Ice Queen: "I only fight strong opponents. If you want that so-called world reputation, defeat me honorably!"
Sea King: "You don't need to listen to what the loser says. Actually, I can do the same thing."
Furniture City Expert: "It's not another exaggerated proposal like a 100% monthly interest rate, is it?"
Avenger: "Watching your performance.jpg"
Sea King: "Cough~ I'm the most enthusiastic administrator in the group, how can you say that about me!"
Sea King: "Anyway, I'll cut down all the high-ranking officials in this world later and become the boss of this world myself."
Sea King: "In this world, one point of world reputation is worth 300 points. At that time, I'll get you high official positions; not to mention getting 400 points of reputation at once, dozens or a hundred points will be no problem."
These world points are at least around 10,000 points, which is a considerable income for other group members.
Sea King: "Of course, if you want my help, you need to pay me a tiny bit of compensation... rubbing hands.jpg"
Kaguya-sama: "Then... fifty percent? (Guilty)"
Sea King: "Okay."
Ben Zi Na: "Huh? Really? I thought you'd say something like 70%."
In fact, she could even accept 90%; as long as the points for crossing worlds were recouped, it was already a profit.
Sea King: "Why would I want that much? I told you I'm the most enthusiastic administrator in the group, why don't you believe me? I'm hurt."
Ben Zi Na: "My bad, I believe you this time."
Sea King: "Apologies require showing your chest! Quickly send me photos in a private chat!"
Ben Zi Na: "How could there be such a rule? Do you take me for an idiot!"
Sea King: "Tsk~! You have no sincerity at all! (Pointing fingers!)"
Sea King: "Forget it, I won't idle in the group for now. I'm going to gather some intel and then clear Esdeath's world."
Sea King: "If you want to earn points, you can go to Nami's side first. Getting a Celestial Dragon identity from World Conquest also gives points. Just transfer my share back to me later."
Ben Zi Na: "Yay! Long live Lin Que!"
Kaguya-sama: "Long live +1! Now I can also experience the thrill of being carried!"
Furniture City Expert: "With point enhancements, facing Valmont and them won't be so troublesome anymore."
Sword Princess: "What are Celestial Dragons?"
Nami: "They are the general term for the privileged class in my world. Of course, that's in the past. Now, only Lin Que or those appointed by me can be called Celestial Dragons. If anyone wants to be one, you can sign up with me."
...
Ben Zi Na: "1"
Kaguya-sama: "1"
Hair Gel Hand: "1"
...
"Have you always been like this?"
Glancing at the group chat, Esdeath looked at Lin Que before her.
"Being good to others for no reason, it's truly incomprehensible."
"How can you say it's for no reason?"
Lin Que shrugged: "Didn't I already take 50% of the points?"
"50% is too little."
Although she had only just joined the group, the not-so-foolish Esdeath had already seen through many things.
"Even if you took more, they wouldn't refuse."
"No need, I don't actually value points that much."
In fact, Lin Que wasn't lying about this.
Points, to others, might seem very important.
But for Lin Que, the biggest use of points was to travel to other worlds and have fun.
If a mall hadn't suddenly opened today, giving him something he wanted to buy, he probably would have only taken 20% or 30% as a token reward.
"Alright, enough small talk."
Interrupting the social Darwinist who still wanted to say something, Lin Que got to the point.
"You must have seen what I just said, right?"
"As my spoils of war, shouldn't you express your attitude a little?"
