Chapter 1252: Counter
Underground sixth floor, the next day, late night.
After the strategic meeting, Gao Yang returned to his dorm room. Sleep eluded him. He sat on the couch and turned on the recording with his parents’ last words.
He turned it off when he heard someone approach. The door opened. Vermilion Bird walked in and said unceremoniously, “Gao Yang, we’ll have to modify the plan.”
“Go on.”
“Quiet Book, Tang Xiaocong, Sun Hu, Xiao Xin, and One Stone decided not to join the fight. Not because they get timid, but because they want to concentrate our power.”
Gao Yang caught on.
It would soon be a year since Gao Yang had used Life Bank on Vermilion Bird. That meant he would soon be able to get Talents from her.
Vermilion Bird sat down next to him. “They are worried about dragging us down. It’s better to give their Talents to their companions. That’ll make our odds better if we are going to fight Dragon.”
Gao Yang nodded.
“Quiet Book acquired Three Heads Six Arms. She could merge with two other people. You’ll replicate Cheating from Liao Liao to exploit a loophole. And I’ll help transfer three people’s worth of Talents to you. That leaves two of them. I’ll take one of their Talents. Wang Zikai will take the energy of the last.”
“It may not work,” Gao Yang said.
