Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 265: Chapter 175: Faction Rankings: 1_3

But you know what, the photo effect isn’t bad, he can enjoy it himself later, but it’s better not to show it to others.

Wu Chang tore off the last dozen pages, folded them, and stuffed them into his pocket, then said:

”I don’t need so many people here, Sword Star and Shadow stay, the others go to the deck to maintain order. I promised someone to save as many passengers on the ship as possible.”

After Shadow and Great White Shark joined Wu Chang’s camp, they were also shared with the hidden side quest and knew what Wu Chang was talking about.

The group had a brief discussion and decided to follow Wu Chang’s plan, splitting into two groups to ensure both the main and side quests were covered.

Great White Shark, as the captain, was a great planner and she suggested that everyone must stick together and never get blocked by other players’ forces.

Sword Star pinched the Sword Technique, dipped his fingers in ink mixed with gold powder, and left a sword mark on the backs of their hands.

When the group encounters danger, they only need to activate the sword mark, which can not only transform into a sword qi for a surprise attack but also trigger a reaction from the marks of others.

After making some simple preparations, Sword Star and Shadow followed Wu Chang, heading straight to the New Cosmos Sect on the fourth floor.

The actions Wu Chang had taken on the deck earlier were witnessed by the fourth-floor New Cosmos Sect followers, and when they saw his hostile demeanor, they automatically made way for him to reach Park Changmin’s room door.

Before entering, he confirmed once again, as Shadow mentioned, that Park Changmin lived in the third last room from the corridor end, while the first last room was silent, and he could sense through inspiration that there was someone inside, yet he couldn’t further ascertain their presence.

As soon as Wu Chang entered the fourth floor, Park Changmin received a message from the followers, and as Wu Chang brought people to the door, he proactively opened it and invited Wu Chang in.

When Wu Chang arrived, he noticed several people standing inside Park Changmin’s room.

Park Changmin smiled and said, ”President Li, you came at just the right time. I just checked with the believers who boarded this time, and indeed some people know how to navigate a ship. However, they’ve only operated small to medium vessels, so with a cruise ship like the Star Jump, they might need to try their hand at it first.”

Wu Chang glanced over everyone’s faces, and his expression wavered slightly when he saw the last person.

Park Changmin gestured for everyone to introduce themselves, and when it came to the last person, he heard him say:

”My name is Zheng Chengxun, and I have fifteen years of experience in piloting and managing vessels, and I can serve as a temporary captain for the Star Jump.”

Wu Chang nodded and said, ”Very good.”

A stroke of luck had been found without any effort.

Previously he was worried about how to find the captain Song of the Sea who was haunted by collective grievances, but unexpectedly, he came knocking on the door himself.

Moreover, this scoundrel didn’t even disguise himself or change his name; he was still Zheng Chengxun.

This person is truly fascinating; he doesn’t change his name or surname, he just loves such a target.

But now is not the time to deal with this guy, better let him hop around for a few more days.

He waved his hand, signaling Zheng Chengxun and the others to leave, as he had matters to discuss with Park Changmin.

Realizing that Wu Chang wasn’t there for matters regarding the crew, Park Changmin became tense; he was worried Wu Chang might have taken a liking to baseball and was also preparing to give him a hit.

”President Li, what is this about?”

Without any more words, Wu Chang directly tossed the notebook in his arms onto Park Changmin’s desk.

Park Changmin only glanced at two pages before his face changed drastically, as if the notebook was burning hot, throwing it back onto the table.

”President Li, what is this?”

Wu Chang said calmly, ”Found it in Li Yuanzhi’s room.”

Sss.

Park Changmin took a deep breath, good lord, Li Yuanzhi, that damned brat, aside from important matters, he had secretly taken on side jobs!

Originally, Li Zaisi was already sensitive, and now he’s going to go crazy.

Before Park Changmin could speak, Wu Chang flipped to a page with a folded corner, pointing at the photo on it.

The photo showed Li Zaisi’s father attending the New Cosmos Sect’s Capital Cathedral inauguration as a guest, with Li Zaisi accompanying him.

However, the scene in the photo wasn’t in a public setting, but rather in a private meeting room inside the cathedral, and the text beneath it noted the relationship between the Star Heaven Group and the New Cosmos Sect.

Wu Chang, with a voice void of emotion, said, ”This photo could only be taken by someone from inside the New Cosmos Sect.”

Park Changmin swallowed and asked, ”President Li, are you implying...”

Wu Chang: ”Bishop Park, I trust you and the New Cosmos Sect, but I don’t trust its followers. There are too many of them, and even you can’t guarantee they don’t have other identities aside from being followers.”

”Just like Li Yuanzhi, or the person who took this photo. What I’m saying is simple, first, what’s happening now is a large-scale assassination targeting me; second, I will investigate everyone, including the New Cosmos Sect’s followers.”

”Bishop Park, keep a good watch on your followers, don’t do anything that might lead to misunderstandings. If anything happens, my people won’t hold back.”

After speaking, Wu Chang didn’t wait for Park Changmin to explain and left with Sword Star and the others.

Returning to his room on the seventh floor, it wasn’t long before Cui Chengze came looking for him.

Once in the room, Cui Chengze dragged Wu Chang to the study, closed the door, and couldn’t hold back anymore, excitedly saying:

”It’s done! I’ve decoded the mystical array on that emblem!”

Wu Chang was also delighted, Cui Chengze’s progress not only advanced the Secret Magic Knight’s reincarnation quest but also helped the Star Jump escape the Shipwreck Belt ahead of schedule, foiling the New Cosmos Sect’s plot.

Wu Chang’s decisive action to take down Jiang Junsu and Li Yuanzhi to gain full control of the Star Jump was largely to facilitate Cui Chengze’s mystical ceremony arrangement.

Cui Chengze took out a laptop, opened the Star Jump’s structural plans, and detailed to Wu Chang the areas he needed to access and the permissions required.

After introducing his improved mystical ceremony, Cui Chengze excitedly said,

”Just give me three days, no, two and a half days, and I can set up the ceremony to take the Star Jump out of this Shipwreck Belt!”
