The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 81

Su Li’s three questions seemed completely useless to those who couldn’t keep up with his train of thought.

However, after careful consideration, Su Li still decided to use these three questions to evaluate those critically important pieces of information that had previously been impossible to judge due to insufficient intelligence.

The first question was——

“Have you already controlled the Inner City?”

The moment Su Li spoke this question, the smile vanished from Ophelia’s lips. Moreover, her gaze had turned icy and piercing.

“What a truly excellent question,” she said.

“Then you can look forward to the next two questions,” Su Li responded very calmly.

Ophelia let out a cold snort and turned her gaze away from Su Li’s deep, bottomless blue eyes.

“The answer is……”

Ophelia almost ground out through gritted teeth, “No.”

“You seem to have no desire to answer this question,” Su Li said something seemingly irrelevant that would only further inflame Ophelia’s anger, before beginning his second question.

“Does your biological father have the ability to contend with the King of Amikbi?”

Ophelia’s expression immediately became even more frigid.

She said with a cold laugh. “You’d better not regret asking this question afterward.”

“We’ll see about that later,” Su Li’s mouth curved into a slight smile, and he added, “When a person has the value of being threatened, it only shows that what the person possesses is still something the threatener must carefully weigh.”

“So you don’t need to use these emotional counterarguments to determine whether I will display submission or bow my head because of your various performances.”

“All of this is unnecessary.”

“However, I can still answer this point for you,” Su Li once again folded his hands to support his chin.

He was well aware that when speaking in this posture, his head would constantly rock upward due to the force of his chin resting on the back of his hand.

This was an extremely provocative gesture.

And Su Li’s purpose was to warn Ophelia about something in advance.

Indeed, when Xia Zuo made an attacking posture, Ophelia immediately responded with a gesture to stop him.

Even so, the dangerous feeling that made one’s hair stand on end still made the defenseless Su Li somewhat uncomfortable.

Although the wild instinct residing in human marrow constantly screamed that he needed to flee immediately, Su Li’s response was merely to blink and make a gesture to stop Egbert, just like before.

Unlike Xia Zuo, who continued to stare dangerously at Su Li even after being stopped, Egbert immediately lowered his eyes and showed a submissive attitude the moment Su Li gave the signal.

Ophelia, who was already on edge about Su Li’s mastery over his subordinates, became even more furious.

However, she did not continue to take actions to belittle Xia Zuo.

Su Li’s guess was that her previous kick to Xia Zuo was to demonstrate her absolute control over him. Now, her choice to restrain her emotions was because without Xia Zuo, Ophelia would have no resistance against anyone in this environment except Su Li.

All the details of their confrontation passed in an instant. Su Li continued his unfinished statement. “I hereby declare that as long as you, Ophelia, remain Ophelia, I will never stand on the same line as you, let alone submit.”

“Now, it’s time for you to answer the second question,” Su Li’s gaze was fixed tightly on the clearly unstable Ophelia.

Sometimes, momentum doesn’t necessarily have to show great strength to bring pressure.

On the contrary, remaining calm in the face of danger, or remaining unperturbed, are naturally a kind of potential energy in a confrontation.

Ophelia glared fiercely at Su Li, but still complied with the contractual relationship and gave the answer to the second question. “Yes.”

Although she knew that whether this was acknowledged or not, Su Li could almost guess who that man related to her blood was just by her saying it.

At this moment, Ophelia could not be glad that there was someone in this world who was almost her intellectual equal. Instead, she only hoped that Su Li would die right then and there.

If Su Li were slightly weaker, he would become Ophelia’s plaything. If their abilities were equal, then under Ophelia’s ability to use force, Su Li would at most evolve from a plaything to a toy – a more specifically existing toy for a longer time.

But when Ophelia determined that Su Li possessed wisdom that exceeded her own, she would unhesitatingly condemn him to death in her mind.

Like now.

The dialogue that had seemed harmonious not long ago had now completely turned into a confrontation between two parties.

Even now, the two sitting at opposite ends of the long table were still constantly battling mentally.

Just as Su Li knew that after asking this question, Ophelia would sentence him to death, Su Li could also guarantee that even if Ophelia now ordered Xia Zuo to kill him, he could rely on the raven that had not been overly noticed until now to not only survive but also force Ophelia into a desperate situation.

But because this trump card was unknown to Ophelia, Su Li could correspondingly deduce the difference in their thinking.

Unlike what Ophelia believed – that if she now ordered Xia Zuo to kill Su Li, Egbert, who was present, would go mad like a wild dog that had lost its master, even if he couldn’t completely break through Xia Zuo’s defense or cause her fatal harm, he would go to the extent of destroying himself to create wounds for Ophelia.

Strength, after all, is the standard for measuring countless things in this world.

Although after learning Ophelia’s answer, a moment of chaotic symbols had risen in Su Li’s mind.

Ignoring the massive associations and deep judgments caused by information supplementation, Su Li asked the final question.

“The third question is, besides the various possibilities I’ve already guessed, do you have any additional intentions for trying to wage war on this city that I currently cannot understand through existing channels?”

Almost the moment this question was asked, Ophelia directly smashed the table in front of her.

Su Li pondered for half a second whether a young girl smashing a long table was a moral decline or a legal emptiness, before being lifted straight up by Egbert.

“Tch, another big gorilla.”

Very unpleasant.

If Egbert hadn’t quickly pulled him away, the scattered wood chips from the broken table would have caused harm to Su Li afterward.

While people from this otherworld might fight and shake the earth, creating fire dragons roaring in minutes, Su Li was still the pitiful one who needed to worry about falling on broken wood, potentially getting wood splinters that would require him to use a magnifying glass and tweezers to remove.

Ophelia spoke as if she hadn’t heard him, mumbling to herself. “I promise, I promise that as long as I find even the slightest opportunity, I will make sure you die without a whole corpse.”

Her gaze shifted from the completely destroyed table to Su Li, looking at him with an expression that was even worse than the trash on the ground.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure I don’t fall into such a situation,” Su Li responded.

A Level 1 player who cannot activate GM-level invincibility will absolutely not choose to actively challenge the dungeon boss before pulling a golden finger grandpa.

That would be equivalent to suicide.

Su Li patted the non-existent dust on himself and continued, “You haven’t told me the answer yet.”

“Ha!” Ophelia looked at Su Li mockingly.

“Does that answer still need to be said? I thought that with your brain, you would have known what that answer was the moment I did this.”

Su Li maintained the smile at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Su Li could not speak.

Because as long as Su Li spoke, Ophelia would understand that the answer she gave could no longer replace the information behind the answer. Instead, the very act of her giving an answer would already demonstrate certain qualities that she might not even understand herself, but which genuinely existed.

Although her current thought was that Su Li was trampling on her dignity.

Then, after Ophelia said “yes” again with an expression of extreme displeasure, the smile on Su Li’s face – which had previously seemed forced – now truly held genuine amusement.

Ophelia’s expression was uglier than the zombie faces in early zombie films.

Su Li was well aware that the advantage he currently held was essentially just a premeditated plan to maintain an advantage going forward.

It was like even though Su Li now knew what would happen next, he still needed to be like a third-rate actor in a play, constantly gesturing with a prompt book, indicating how to perform next – an even more third-rate performer.

Su Li’s acting skills at this moment were comparable to pixel game protagonists during the era when pixel graphics dominated the global game market.

He directly maintained a blank expression and said to those beside him. “Capture Ophelia.”

The previously arrogant princess showed an expression that suggested this was exactly how things should develop, and then she said even more arrogantly, “What do you think Xia Zuo exactly is?”

“What do you think a top-tier powerhouse who has stepped through the ultimate gate really represents?”

Su Li: At this moment, just smiling is enough. jpg

Su Li was clear that Egbert would not accept him being at risk of death, so the former Son of Light would also make Ophelia witness the extent of power of someone who could reorganize themselves from complete destruction.

As for before that, Roy, who had a low sense of presence and was no different from a raven, would become the best assistant in this battle.

Although Roy said when Egbert first acted, “You really f*cking trust Lan Zhe.”

Su Li bet that this sentence was definitely not because he was currently being held in Lan Zhe’s arms.

But whether or not that was the case, Egbert charged even more fiercely.
