Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 237: Chapter 166: Off Course_3

As the boss, this sort of trivial matter should naturally be delegated to subordinates to handle.

At eight-thirty in the evening, a waiter delivered an invitation, inviting Wu Chang to attend a banquet in the seventh-floor banquet hall.

The banquet on the seventh floor, unlike the performances held in the third and fourth-floor halls, is only accessible to guests residing on the sixth and seventh floors.

For other players, this is an invisible threshold; without certain strategies, one simply cannot access this place.

If it were Li Zaisi, he would surely ask what caliber these people are, to associate with me at the same banquet?

But with Wu Chang inside this body now, he certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity to gather information.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the banquet hall, he instantly became the focus of everyone present.

The upper-class individuals at this moment all abandoned their reservations, surrounding him, racking their brains to leave a good impression on this heir apparent of the Star Heaven Group.

The chaotic scene left Wu Chang no time to find someone to converse with individually and collect information.

However, chaos itself can provide some information.

When everyone is approaching him, those who avoid him or stand still become particularly conspicuous.

They either have secrets in their hearts or hold grudges against Li Zaisi.

Wu Chang noted down a total of six people, instructing his secretary to record and organize their information, to pass it on to Sword Star and others when they return for investigation.

Just right to check these guys during the day, and investigate the New Cosmos Sect at night; it would be a shame not to fully utilize these two fine cattle.

By squeezing them like this, not only will the two cattle not blame him, but they will also thank him.

Having just noted the few outliers down on his little notebook, the ballroom doors swung open, and a woman entered, dressed in professional attire with a camera hanging on her chest.

As soon as the woman entered, the atmosphere in the room immediately cooled down; the crowd surrounding Wu Chang frantically handing over business cards to the secretary, reluctantly left his vicinity.

At a banquet, wearing formal attire is the most basic etiquette, and ordinarily, a journalist dressed in professional attire would never be let in.

But this woman was an exception.

Li Yubin, the illegitimate daughter of the president of San Shang Group, Gao Mu Country’s number one conglomerate. Despite being illegitimate, her identity was publicly recognized by the president, and she was quite favored, holding a status comparable to Li Zaisi.

The reason she is considered a plague by everyone lies in her upbringing, growing up in the slums; her childhood instilled in her a deep hatred for evil, and after becoming a journalist, she pledged to expose all ugliness and injustice.

During her three years as a journalist, the number of companies punished due to her exposures exceeded double digits, earning her the title of the ”Common People’s Princess.”

Other lesser journalists either ended up at the bottom of the sea or found themselves imprisoned as playthings.

But Li Yubin had the San Shang Group as her backing, preventing anyone from moving against her, while her so-called exposes of scandals were all under the control of the San Shang Group’s president.

Like a large-scale child’s play, those mid-sized families exposed by Li Yubin were akin to selected toys, waiting for her to tire of them and return home to inherit her fortune.

The social class of everyone present at the banquet hadn’t escaped the realm of being toys, which is why they avoided Li Yubin.

Others fear Li Yubin, but Wu Chang does not; he brazenly scrutinizes Li Yubin and the two following behind her.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the two people behind Li Yubin were both players of the Abyssal Game.

It seems that clever little opportunists aren’t limited to Sword Star and Negotiation Master.

With players gathering around her, could she be one of the factions within the instance?

Due to Li Yubin’s arrival, the banquet became dull, with everyone speaking cautiously in front of Li Yubin’s large camera lens.

The few individuals Wu Chang noted earlier indeed seemed more unnatural, with three of them departing early.

Those three were marked by Wu Chang as key observation targets.

After dinner, the banquet ended hastily, and Wu Chang left with his lackeys.

Passing by Li Yubin, he heard her whisper, ”Watch out, I’m observing your misdeeds, and sooner or later, I’ll bring you to justice.”

Wu Chang shrugged, ”Isn’t observing solely at the banquet a bit short? Want to come to my room and observe thoroughly?”

Li Yubin snorted coldly, ”Scum.”

Returning to his room, Wu Chang set up the Inner World in his bedroom, put on the Secret Technique Trial Badge, and began completing the second reincarnation quest.

One night passed, and the next morning Wu Chang opened his eyes, finding the outside dark.

A thick fog had descended on the sea surface.

The dense fog engulfed the entire sea, making it hard to distinguish day from night aboard the ship.

Just then, there was a knock at the bedroom door, and the secretary’s voice came from outside.

”Boss, it seems we’re in trouble; the Star Jump has deviated from its course.”
