Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 559 - 18: The Truly Strongest Fortress

Zhuo Youcai's identity remains unconfirmed, after all, the boss mentioned by the rich and handsome Mr. Zhuo may not necessarily be the lord of the Sanctuary Fortress.

Most people still do not know who Zhuo Youcai is.

Only, Song Gengzhao knew that his son, even if only his eyes were visible, he would recognize him.

As for Li Zheng, he naturally had a very good impression of Song Que, and after looking him over for a long time, he ultimately couldn't confirm his identity, but his suspicions grew stronger.

He suddenly wasn't so angry anymore, just feeling more and more odd.

It seemed that today's events would take an unexpected turn, and after pausing for two seconds, he said coldly,

"If you want to contend for the lordship of Ark Fortress, you better first learn to be a polite person!"

Lin Jue shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all about what Li Zheng said,

"Why say so much nonsense? Just tell me how this lord of Ark Fortress is chosen."

Li Zheng sneered,

"Naturally, it's based on the lord's contributions to the world, reputation, and the ranking of the fortress they command, as well as their overall strength.

Fortresses like Lincoln Fortress and Sky Guardian Fortress, Huaxia's first and second fortresses, the fifty-first fortress, naturally all qualify.

Most of these fortresses have opened up the seventh layer; even those that haven't possess technologies extremely important to all humankind.

The contributions made by their lords are not insignificant.

May I ask, as for Sanctuary Fortress, ranking beyond a hundred, what kind of core technology does it possess? Even some of the people here might not know of Zhuo He's achievements, if any?"

After he finished speaking, the crowd also felt that the disparity between the two was too great, and no matter how Zhuo Fushuai blustered, the reality would not change.

"So, what are the achievements of the thirty-ninth fortress? Explored the eighth layer?"

This time Li Zheng didn't speak, Li Wanye did.

Li Wanye said with a smiling face,

"Li here fortunately assembled a Soul Crystal and opened up the eighth layer, obtaining the technology of the Judgment Knight. These technologies were not kept for myself but were quickly distributed around the world to support the likeminded, which will certainly play a significant role in the battle against creatures from the mine regions.

We have already suffered a defeat on the Yuepela Plains once, but with the Judgment Knight, we will not suffer a second defeat."

A round of applause rang out, as once some things are accepted, the threshold tends to quickly lower.

Naturally, nobody thought that the competition between Li Wanye and Zhuo Youcai would have any surprises.

The disparity between the two fortresses was just too vast. If it was time to flatter and bootlick, for these people it was now.

Lin Jue laughed uproariously, his laughter filled with mockery. His posture could be considered to be maxing out the enmity.

Under the hostile gazes of the crowd, he said,

"So what is this, some kind of large-scale cult gathering or imperial restoration gathering?

In other words, aside from being luckier than Lincoln Fortress by having one more Soul Crystal and opening the eighth layer, the thirty-ninth fortress actually hasn't done anything substantial?"

Even though Li Wanye had been in a good mood during this meeting, ultimately due to Lin Jue's repeated provocations, he became somewhat displeased.

His smile gradually faded as he looked at Lin Jue with inherent authority and said,

"While my thirty-ninth fortress may not have reached the pinnacle with any particular technology, our overall technological capabilities are not lacking."

"Mediocrity across the board equals being useless across the board, let's not even mention that. Being lucky is also a skill, especially in these second-rate fortresses, it counts as being tall among dwarves. Let me ask again, what achievements have you made in your life? Besides making the most of the Judgment Knight's value, have you done anything else?"

Dangling an ear-pick, Lin Jue's casual demeanor seemed to earn Qi Xun's appreciation.

Li Zheng got angry again, and said,

"Your Excellency has been continually rude. If you truly have the capability, show us first. Otherwise, do not be so presumptuous! Today you have repeatedly insulted the Li family, and you had best have the capital to back it up, otherwise the Li family is quite vengeful!"

In fact, even Song Que, who was pretending to be Zhuo Youcai beside Lin Jue, felt Lin Jue's words were too cynical.

But he couldn't say much; attracting animosity was something Tang Xian could do, Lin Jue could do, but he really couldn't.

"Sorry, I really do have it. Before I state my boss's achievements and our Sanctuary Fortress's strength, I need to make everyone understand, the Li family amounts to nothing.

The Song family should know it the best, right?

Half a year ago, to avoid a marriage with the Li family and fear of public criticism, you used a Soul Crystal, as a gift to show goodwill between the two families.

This matter is not a secret, but maybe everyone has forgotten it due to the various demons and spirits in the past six months? Indeed, who cares whether territory is begged for, stolen, or taken by force?

But what exactly has the Li family done?

Young Master Song Que of the Song family, naturally full of talent, the true chosen one. In the hunting festival, he turned the tides and acquired an incredibly important calamity-level boss creature's Soul Crystal.

This Soul Crystal he actually gifted to the Li family, let us think about it, if not for this crystal... the Li family might still be on the seventh layer, right?

So... turns out the Li family's greatest skill is picking a good son-in-law? But these two people didn't even end up together, did they? It seems that with the Soul Crystal in hand, even such a fine son-in-law as Song Que is no longer wanted? Isn't this short-sightedness? Even if the second miss is stubborn, doesn't the Li family have any other women?"

Zhuo Youcai suddenly started coughing, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

This Lin Jue really had a wild imagination, and his talent for mockery seemed to rival that of a Zaunite.
