My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 335 - 331: "Claim You’re Loyal, But Won’t Eat Lava?

Chapter 335: Chapter 331: "Claim You’re Loyal, But Won’t Eat Lava?

"They are traitors, not undercover, and they are not on the whitelist given by Lord Profound Immortal..."

The eyes of the [Yin Yang Master] flashed a hint of cruelty even he hadn’t noticed: "I have an impression of these three people."

"They’re all those who pride themselves on loyalty, boasting of their unwavering dedication."

"So..."

"Feed them lava!"

"If they don’t dare eat lava, how can they claim loyalty?"

Recently, the highest Controller of the Profound Immortal Team, Zhao Guanlan, is as elusive as a Divine Dragon, as the people of Japan would say, in a kind of divine hidden state.

Aside from his right and left arms, Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu, no one else could see him in person.

During this period, the power and Energy of the Profound Immortal Team rapidly expanded.

Granted more freedom in actions and decision-making, Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu added some overt strategies while maintaining their original strategic style.

Those who could become enemies may not necessarily be enemies.

For some foolish and shortsighted yet powerful figures, they can throw out some empty promises, pledging that when the Profound Immortal Team dominates the entire island in the future, there will be discussions on dividing benefits and profit sharing.

There were also some greedy yet clever ones, who wouldn’t act without seeing a rabbit—Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu are accustomed to first giving out a small portion of resources, allowing those people to taste the benefits.

Gather a group, divide a group, suppress a group.

Making sure the theory is correct ensures no problems with the general direction. By controlling the details, it will reduce many troubles.

There have been people who took the benefits but felt what the Profound Immortal Team provided was insufficient, hence wavered in their stance, wanting to be fence-sitters.

The outcome for such people was always consistent—all families were stuffed into cement pillars and thrown into the Sea.

The [Profound Immortal Team] never cared about anyone’s reasons; when they weren’t justified, they were rudely arrogant, and once justified, they were reckless and exceedingly ruthless.

In Japan, netizens called the Profound Immortal Team "Darkness’ Savior."

This nickname says a lot.

"Whole families being stuffed into cement pillars and thrown into the Sea," is, of course, the worst outcome.

But those lured onto a sinking ship by empty promises and petty benefits wouldn’t fare much better; at most, they could save themselves and their families.

Empty promises are meant to be broken.

The concessions are ultimately to be taken back.

What?

Credibility? Promises?

Since its inception, the [Profound Immortal Team] has never spoken of credibility; it has always relied on overwhelming Combat Power and ruthless conduct to intimidate all sides.

Credibility, that’s something the [Prophet] Ma Ran would consider.

Speaking of which, the Profound Immortal Team’s recent curious maneuver cannot be overlooked—slinging mud, declaring the opposing force as traitors to the nation and the planet; moral coercion, coaxing the hot-headed youth to join.

The slaughter methods need not be mentioned.

Slinging mud and moral coercion also require credibility to rely on.

This[Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan has no credibility whatsoever.

But the [Prophet] Ma Ran does.

Somehow, a saying began circulating throughout Japan—"The Prophet and the Profound Immortal are best friends, as close as family, with a deep bond."

To aid the Profound Immortal and ensure his unimpeded development, the Prophet even expended decades of his lifespan, helping to foretell the existence of the "Sea Demon Calamity" and "Feng Yuji."

Close to red, one turns red; close to ink, one turns black.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Following this belief, "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan" should not be inherently bad, although ruthless in tactics and domineering in style, perhaps due to being wronged and suffering on Cangming Star, gradually forming his current character.

Someone who could befriend the [Prophet] would not casually sling mud or play the moral binding game, right?

Although Ma Ran has not personally verified this claim, most people are willing to believe "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan’s" narrative!

Cangming Star visitors have always been good friends to Earth Humans.

Sword Master Lin Qiubai and Demon Child Zhang Kuang have both made indelible contributions to maintaining Earth’s stability and peace.

Given this context, it lends considerable credibility to the judgment of Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan.

Those who oppose the Profound Immortal Team must be national traitors! Even, betrayers of the Earth Civilization!

...

The University of Tokyo, Yayoi Campus.

"Is this the top A-class prestigious school of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan’s ’Super Global University Program’?" Sakai Tetsuya walked along the tree-lined path, a look of disdain on his face.

This counts as a Legendary University, many famous alumni have won Nobel, Fields, Wolf, Gairdner international awards with ease.

Its place in the hearts of the Japanese is roughly equivalent to Qingbei in the hearts of the Chinese.

"Back then I was so close, just a hair’s breadth away from entering this university."

Sakai Tetsuya sneered, "Looking back now, not getting in was a good thing."

"Life’s encounters are truly wondrous!"

"Had I not failed the entrance exam, how would I have become a corporate slave, and after losing my job, forced to compete in the JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Tournament?"

"Without these experiences, how would I have joined the Profound Immortal Team and become who I am now?"

However, there was a hint of bitterness and resentment in his tone that Zhou Yu could detect.

"As a member of the International Association of East Asian Research Universities, the Asian Universities Alliance, the Academic Research Retreat, the Top Global University Project, the Leading Graduate Schools project, Japan-Sweden Mirai project, it seems rather plain and lacks any unique traits."

Sakai Tetsuya spoke, striding arrogantly through this highest academic institution in Japan.

Renowned as the premier of the seven old imperial universities and enjoying high global prestige, Sakai Tetsuya’s arrogant strut was unabashedly brazen.

But the principal and professors all nodded and bowed, following behind him and Zhou Yu like submissive dogs.

Among them, there were even several internationally acclaimed award winners.

"Truly humble..."

Zhou Yu sighed.

Such a scene could never happen in China.

But this is Japan, where the national circumstances are different.

In the Reiwa Era, Japan’s scientists saw their status plummet, even the top scientists had their project funding slashed, treated as "unnecessary expenses."

Now, Japanese great scientists must scrape by or align themselves with politicians and capitalists, begging like paupers for the high and mighty’s charity.

Zhou Yu had recently heard Ogata Shitou say something profound.

"In Japan, everything—military, economy, science, agriculture, industry—all serves politics."

At the time, Zhou Yu thought Ogata Shitou was exaggerating.

Now it appears to be true.

So, seeing the principal, vice principal, and professors of The University of Tokyo crawling over to lick boots like sycophants seemed somewhat understandable.

After all, the Japanese scientists, who rely on the breath of politicians and capitalists, could do nothing but fawn or bark loudly in front of the Profound Immortal Team.

Zhou Yu’s gaze swept over everyone present, and he couldn’t help but curl his lip.

This was the place where he had studied abroad...

Too humble.

It made him wonder what the point of his previous efforts was.

"It’s the right choice to take a leave of absence and struggle for the Profound Immortal Team..."

Zhou Yu sighed, looking at Sakai Tetsuya, "If you want a degree certificate from The University of Tokyo, just mention it casually after the mission, they won’t refuse their ’honorary alumni.’

"How to recruit more talented alumni, I still don’t have a concrete plan, you..."

His words were interrupted by a sudden thunderclap.

Boom!

Brilliant golden lightning struck in front of them, forming a human shape.

Pink suit, slicked-back hair, sunglasses, a lean youth.

Being able to carry off such an ostentatious outfit perfectly, without creating disharmony...

Besides "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan," Zhou Yu and Sakai Tetsuya couldn’t think of a second person.

The lean youth pushed up his sunglasses on his nose and grinned, "Just came out for a breath of fresh air, you guys do what you need to do, don’t mind me."
