"Lin Que, the Mizuki tree has been placed."
After returning from the Thousand Eyes shop and placing the Mizuki tree sapling, Black Rabbit immediately came to find him.
"Do you have any other plans?"
Lin Que, who was browsing online to pass the time, came back to his senses, "What do you mean?"
"To rescue Lady Leticia, of course!"
Despite having just gained an unprecedented income from selling a divine essence, Black Rabbit's face was now filled with worry.
"The Communities participating in the auction are simply too luxurious: [Griffin with Dragon Horns], [Caduceus], [Avalon]... all are famous large Communities."
"Especially [Caduceus], that's the property of the Greek Gods, the largest commercial Community in the Hakoniwa South Area."
"Compared to them, the money obtained from selling one divine essence is far too little. We have no competitiveness at all."
"If this continues, Lady Leticia will be bought by someone else!"
Lin Que stood up and grabbed Black Rabbit's ear, rubbing it.
"Calm down."
"I am perfectly calm!"
Black Rabbit struggled free from Lin Que's hand, covering her head with both hands and complaining, "But Lin Que, why do you always suddenly pull my precious rabbit ears! It hurts, okay!"
"Because if I don't, you'll keep muttering to yourself until tomorrow."
After forcibly calming Black Rabbit down, Lin Que replied, "Don't panic too much. Things aren't as bad as you think."
Black Rabbit tilted her head, "What do you mean?"
"Exactly what it says."
Coming to a nearby table, Lin Que opened the scroll he got from White Yasha, his finger tracing over the names of the large Communities stationed in the four-digit outer gates.
"These powerful competitors in your eyes won't actually bid for Leticia."
"Barring any surprises, they will only observe from the sidelines."
"Why?"
Black Rabbit still couldn't understand, "Leticia is very strong!"
"It's not a loss to gain a top four-digit combatant by spending some money, no matter how you look at it."
"Especially the Dragon Horn Griffin and Avalon; they were once allies of No Name."
"Even if contact has lessened after their downfall, out of old friendship, they couldn't possibly watch Leticia be bought by other Communities, could they?"
However, the ownership of Leticia would then fall to either the Dragon Horn Griffin or Avalon.
Neither of these Communities are from the East District, and once their affiliation changes, they will ultimately be restricted.
If conditions allowed, Black Rabbit still hoped Leticia could return to No Name.
"You're thinking too optimistically. They really might just watch Leticia get auctioned off."
Lin Que patiently explained, "Leticia is strong, but don't forget why she's at the auction."
"The culprit who destroyed No Name's predecessor is still hiding in the shadows."
"Even if they actively threw Leticia out to be auctioned, it doesn't mean they've completely let go of Leticia."
"If she's bought back into a Community, and that hidden culprit targets it, no one can guarantee that the tragedy from a year ago won't happen again."
It's important to know that No Name's predecessor was the strongest Community in the Hakoniwa Lower Layers.
Even it was defeated overnight by that unknown enemy, so there's no need to mention other Communities.
These veteran Communities stationed in the four-digit outer gates, who currently don't lack combat power, are only going through the motions this time.
Even some Communities stationed in the five-digit outer gates will voluntarily withdraw and not compete for Leticia, a top-tier combatant.
"Instead of worrying about those Communities that pose no threat, you'd better pay attention to Perseus."
Lin Que's finger stopped on the Community that acquired Leticia in the original work, and his eyes narrowed.
"Although it's a Community stationed in the five-digit outer gates, Perseus's previous few leaders managed it very well."
"Especially after successfully mass-producing invisible helmets and flying greaves twenty years ago, they accumulated a large amount of money by selling these special Gifts."
Normally, a Community with such great potential, qualified to compete for a four-digit outer gate, wouldn't auction for Leticia.
However, in the information provided by White Yasha, it was clearly stated that Perseus's new leader, Luos Perseus, is a vulgar hedonist, a typical good-for-nothing.
Under his leadership, Perseus's development has shown a downward trend in recent years.
For the current Perseus, there is an urgent need for high-end combat power to stabilize the situation.
And Leticia's appearance perfectly fits their needs.
They have money, and they are willing to spend it.
If Lin Que doesn't intervene, they will definitely bid for Leticia again, just like in the original work.
"I see."
After listening to Lin Que's explanation, Black Rabbit suddenly understood.
"If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have thought that Perseus was the biggest competitor in this auction."
"Don't feel ashamed."
Lin Que stroked Black Rabbit's head, "Given your intelligence, it's completely normal not to figure it out."
"I'm not as smart as you, Lin Que! But you don't have to say it like that!"
After complaining in a low voice, Black Rabbit honestly leaned closer again, looking at Lin Que with fervent eyes.
"Since you've analyzed so much, Lin Que, you must have thought of a solution, right?"
"Does this even need thinking?"
Lin Que smiled, "Those large Communities won't make a move, and we only have one obvious competitor, so we just need to..."
"Got it!"
Before Lin Que could finish speaking, Black Rabbit's ears on top of her head suddenly perked up, and she blurted out the answer first.
"Since Avalon and the Dragon Horn Griffin aren't planning to bid, then we're not competitors!"
"With our past friendship and your identity as a Pure-blooded Dragon, Lin Que, we can ask them to temporarily lend us some money!"
"With these Communities supporting us from behind, it won't be a problem to surpass Perseus financially!"
Lin Que: "..."
Is this rabbit stupid or smart?
