Chapter 137 The one who laughs last is the winner_1
After reaching a cooperation agreement with Duge, Vito’s daily ass-kissing rhetoric significantly decreased, only showing up when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, his demeanor was like that of a normal person, specifically, the humble kind with pleasant speech.
As he put it, "It’s not called getting fat if it’s initial weight gain, but it’s the last straw that breaks the bed."
Power leveling attributes on a few individuals had no significance and only increased the risk of exposing oneself, thereby placing oneself in danger.
After all,
a month later, the top ten rankings would be published. Boosting attributes too high would turn oneself into a live target, subject to attacks from everyone.
An open attack might be avoided, but a sneak attack was difficult to guard against, and no matter how high the attributes, they couldn’t withstand a war of attrition.
Slowly enhancing attributes, blending into this world, until he became the right-hand man to a pirate king—by then, he would have power, a clear view of the situation, and all those poised to emerge would have done so.
By that time, he would make his move to turn the tide and rapidly increase his attributes. The top ten would naturally fall into his lap.
A classic academic approach, utterly contrary to Duge’s.
In Duge’s mind, if attributes didn’t improve, facing an enemy might result in getting flattened at any moment, eliminating any sense of security.
He preferred to be ahead from the start, always in the lead, and then leave everyone else in the dust...
It’s hard to say who is right or wrong.
