Chapter 88
So this is your whole plan, Wang Lin?
[Kim Jung-tae, if you don't know how to play the game, then don't cause trouble. Can't you just honestly hunt, reproduce, and survive? Why do you have to pull these crazy stunts!]
[Now we can't stay quiet even if we want to; their crocodiles are determined to make us pay to lose!]
If this leads to the crocodile eating all our canine jawed beasts and we lose the game, I'll fucking kill your whole family with a knife!
The South Korean viewers' comments were scrolling by incredibly fast, and their insults were even harsher than Kim Jong-tae's insults towards the Indian athletes.
Kim Jong-tae is still being subjected to cyberbullying.
At this moment, Elder Li from the Dragon Kingdom Blue Star Online Research Team had already informed Wang Lin of the entire matter.
Firstly, it was to inform Wang Lin that the crocodile and the canine jaw beast had started fighting amongst themselves, and that the original crocodile did not need to worry for the time being that these two observed species would unite to deal with them.
Secondly, Mr. Li wanted to ask Wang Lin about his next steps.
Upon learning of Kim Jong-tae's idiotic actions, Wang Lin, who had been slacking off, also found it amusing.
"Why is this idiot getting so angry and acting so aggressive? He insults someone, who else would he hit if not him?"
After Wang Lin finished speaking, he took a swig of cola and then continued to slump down.
He didn't even sit up; he just slumped on the sofa, looking at Kim Jung-tae's ashen face on the screen, his mouth twisted in a smile.
Not only Mr. Li, but almost all viewers in China agreed with Wang Lin's conclusion.
Kim Jong-tae's actions were indeed outrageous, so outrageous that even viewers from the opposing China thought he had something wrong with his head.
This isn't just a tactical mistake; this is utter insanity!
After some lighthearted conversation, Mr. Li asked with a smile, "Wang Lin, was this also part of your plan?"
Wang Lin: "???"
What plan?
How come he didn't know he had made a plan?
Isn't he just indulging in food and drink every day and happily slacking off?
He had barely directed the observation of his own species, relying entirely on the original crocodile to act on its own; where did the plan come from?
However, before Wang Lin could even ask, Old Li had already taken it upon himself to complete what he believed to be Wang Lin's plan.
"You knew that your original crocodile was no match for the crocodile and the canine jaw beast, so when you knew that you were surrounded by enemies, you chose to have your original crocodile feign death and show weakness."
Professor Li pushed up his glasses, his tone resolute, as if he were reading a pre-written thesis.
"When two fierce predators face a prey that is no longer able to fight, their first instinct is not to divide the prey, but to drive the other away and devour the prey all by themselves."
"This is an animal's instinct, and also your psychological game. You disguised the crocodile as a harmless piece of meat, causing both the crocodile and the canine jaw beast to shift their attention from the prey to each other."
"Although the canine jawed beasts also appeared submissive, they didn't lie down, which we interpreted as a provocative signal. As a result, the two observed species started fighting, and the protocrocodilian took the opportunity to escape."
"Is this your entire plan, Wang Lin?"
After finishing his speech, Old Li looked expectantly at Wang Lin on the screen.
The research team members behind him nodded in agreement, finding the analysis very reasonable.
After a moment of silence, Wang Lin suddenly chuckled.
"Mr. Li, you're right!"
Anyway, he doesn't need to prove anything. Let Old Li think that way if he wants to. It won't hurt him.
Moreover, being praised is better than being criticized. He was criticized by Chinese viewers for so long, and now that someone is finally saying he has a plan, it would be impolite not to accept it.
Let's just go along with what Old Li said, since we don't have to pay taxes anyway.
Old Li smiled too. Sure enough, experience counts; nothing escaped his eyes.
He had long seen through Wang Lin's apparent inaction, realizing that he was actually a wise man feigning ignorance.
As early as a thousand years ago, Wang Lin predicted the rise of the Primal Crocodile. Back during the Cataclysm instance, Wang Lin predicted the Primal Crocodile would win.
Now that the original crocodile is being attacked from both sides, he predicts that the original crocodile will escape.
Everything was in his plan, everything was under his control.
This eighteen-year-old boy is even more unfathomable than these old men who have been doing scientific research for decades.
After hearing Mr. Li's explanation, the audience from Longguo suddenly understood.
They thought Wang Lin didn't care about anything, but they never expected that this kid would secretly control the crocodile.
On the surface, they're drinking cola, eating potato chips, and lounging on the sofa, but in reality, they're playing a grand game.
On the surface, they do nothing, but in reality, they do everything.
It seems this kid has some skills; he's not just a complete slacker.
[Wang Lin is awesome! It turns out this was all part of your plan! I told you Wang Lin was no ordinary guy, but you wouldn't believe me!]
[So that's why Yuan E suddenly lay on the ground pretending to be dead! Turns out it was Wang Lin who directed it! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! He got the job done while lying down!]
So, was the original crocodile being chased by the canine jaw beast part of the plan? Was being chased by the lured crocodile part of the plan? Was being attacked from both sides part of the plan?
"Of course! How could we lure the crocodile and the canine jawed beast together if we didn't run? How could they fight if they didn't fight? How could the original crocodile retreat safely if they didn't fight? It's all a carefully planned scheme, one step after another!"
[Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! This kid's cunning is unfathomable! He appears to be giving up, but in reality, he's orchestrating everything! He seems to be drinking cola, but in reality, he's savoring the wine of victory.]
【…】
The more the Chinese audience analyzed it, the more reasonable it seemed, and the more they thought Wang Lin was amazing.
Some people have already started writing long articles analyzing Wang Lin's strategic thinking, titled "From Lameness to Godhood - On Wang Lin's Tactical Philosophy," which is more than 3,000 words long. It starts from the first time the original crocodile was chased by the canine-jawed beast and continues to the current battle to lure the crocodile.
No wonder people from China are born test-takers!
Authors can choose any cover for their novels, and the writers can connect the cover to the text to deduce the author's homesickness. Why would they choose that particular cover as the novel's cover?
The original crocodiles were unaware that they had a civilized observer secretly directing them.
Otherwise, if they knew that their civilization observers had this kind of personality, they would at least hurl insults and compose a scathing critique.
We're being chased by crocodiles in the water, while you're drinking Coke on the sofa.
While we're being chased by canine jaw beasts on the shore, you're still drinking Coke on the sofa.
While we were being attacked from both sides, we lay on the ground pretending to be dead, while you were still drinking Coke on the sofa.
Then when someone asks you if you have any plans, you say yes.
You fucking have a der!
As Indian civilization observers declared war on South Korean civilization observers, the waters where the original crocodiles lived became safer, but they could never return.
The crocodiles could only continue swimming downstream with the current.
The river is getting wider and wider, the banks are getting lower and lower, and there are more and more fish in the water.
They swam through forests, grasslands, and hills.
What awaits them is an incredible and magical journey.
