"When I first took charge of the Otherworld, it had no real fighting strength. The troops lacked training and combat experience, and most importantly, we were short on battleships! There were fewer than ten cruisers in the entire Otherworld! Not a single battleship. Anything that could put up a fight had either been magically modified or used black technology, and they were all on their last legs. Even so, there weren't enough to give one to each of the two combat squads! I went to ask the planetary governor for naval guns. Guess what he said?"
"The planetary governor said, 'No naval guns to spare, but you can have my life! You, Li Heping, tell me what my head's worth in Tongbao, then cut it off and trade it for a battleship!'"
"Well, that was exactly what I was waiting to hear! And just like that, in less than a year, the Otherworld had it all: super-heavy cannons! Dimensional arrays! Battleships! Dreadnoughts! The more battleships we have, the stronger our position. Without that kind of backing, would I dare take on the Void Circle God head-on? Dream on!"
"What, you say the Otherworld was originally a world of magic? What does that have to do with me!"
