Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

He was determined to obtain that communications device.

As for the mysterious numbers mentioned by Sword Star, it was clearly some kind of important clue. If possible, he wanted to gather this clue as well.

He looked at Sword Star and slowly said, ”You have done a great job already. From now on, you will be in charge of this matter, but I will find some helpers for you.”

Sword Star was just about to say that they didn’t need help, but Wu Chang raised his hand to interrupt him.

”The helpers I want to find for you aren’t just Shadow and Great White Shark; I also want to call on our allies. If, as you said, those Mid Country spies are so careless, you are definitely not the only ones keeping an eye on them.”

”Moreover, from what I understand about the people of Mid Country, they are accustomed to firepower suppression, and even if they don’t completely crush with strength, it won’t be just some rookies handling this operation. Their real combat strength has probably not been revealed yet.”

This wasn’t Wu Chang being overly cautious, nor did the replaced Li Zaisi know anything about the Mid Country spies; it was simply a matter of information asymmetry.

As the initiator of the faction, he could see the ranking of his own power.

When the faction was first established, it showed his power ranking as 5 at the time.

When he boarded the ship, he had his subordinates with him. As the biggest financial backer of the New Cosmos Sect with a decent relationship with Park Changmin and admired by upper-class people on levels six and seven, from any angle, his power ranking shouldn’t be below Li Yubin.

Thus, besides him and Li Yubin, there should be at least four factions on the ship.

The New Cosmos Sect is one faction, the navy represented by the captain is another, the Revelation where Yin Junhao is located is another faction, and there’s one more missing.

That final faction should lie with the Mid Country spies.

The only potential variable is if Li Yubin is actually the head of the Mi Empire’s spies.

But the probability is extremely low. If Li Yubin were a spy, disguising himself as a troublesome journalist everywhere is far less effective than returning to the San Shang Group and becoming a senior manager to achieve his goals.

Exposing small businesses and winning over hearts can easily be done by nurturing an NGO, but bribing the top management of the San Shang Group isn’t so easy.

If Sword Star and the Negotiation Master continue to act against those Mid Country spies, the two of them might end up entangled in it this time.

Sword Star hesitated for a moment, and ultimately chose to accept Wu Chang’s arrangement.

Wu Chang handing over the action to him was already sending a signal that he understood they had put in the effort.

As an excellent employee, being diligent and hardworking is not as valuable as making the boss feel that your diligence and hard work are useful.

Now that their work had been demonstrated to the boss, and the boss had recognized it, Sword Star and the Negotiation Master didn’t need to risk their lives anymore.

”Everything follows your instructions, boss.”

Wu Chang waved his hand and said, ”Alright, off you go.”

Sword Star nodded and was about to leave when suddenly he heard, ”Wait!” from behind.

Sword Star turned his head to see Wu Chang as if recalling something, saying:

”I called you in because I wanted to tell you that a newcomer is coming in tomorrow. Let me have you look after him a bit. I almost forgot because of the interruption just now.”

Sword Star: ”Ah?”

It wasn’t until Sword Star left the suite with a bewildered expression that he realized the boss wasn’t unhappy with his work, nor was he checking on progress personally, but preparing to have him mentor a newcomer.

As a result, with just a casual question from the boss, he confessed everything.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily, clapping his hand to his forehead.

After a brief moment of annoyance, he could only comfort himself: regardless of what happened during the process, the result was ultimately good.

He opened a Communication Talisman, calling out to the Negotiation Master who continued to monitor the Mid Country spies.

Negotiation Master: ”What’s the matter?”

Sword Star said in a low voice, ”I carefully thought through it; the event involving those people from Mid Country is too big, and the two of us might not handle it. It just so happened that I met Li Zaisi earlier, so I took the opportunity to tell him everything.”

The Negotiation Master asked further, ”What was the result?”

Sword Star replied in a relaxed tone, ”The boss said we did great, and he’s going to rally some people to join us for a big move, with us two leading.”

The Negotiation Master was silent for a moment and then praised, ”Alright, I admit you’re a bit better than me in judging major events.”

Early the next morning, everyone who had received Wu Chang’s message arrived at the banquet hall on the seventh floor.

At nine in the morning, a burly man over two meters tall with a daunting physique walked into the banquet hall. Even in the spacious corridors of the Silent Route Dungeon, his frame was exaggeratedly broad, like a moving wall.

The wall waved a greeting to everyone, ”Good morning, everyone. My name is Sekos. I’m also playing, ahem, applying for the bodyguard position.”

Shadow and Great White Shark had an impression of the big guy in front of them. When Wu Chang was recruiting at the bar, this big guy named Sekos also appeared before.

There was no need to look; it was obvious he was a standard Strength Specialized Player. Even without looking at his exaggerated physique, closing one’s eyes could feel the impact brought by his attributes.

Shadow, in particular, paid special attention to the presence of Sekos because after leaving that day, he tried investigating Sekos.

But whether using the internal system of the Star Jump or following him around, he couldn’t find any trace of Sekos, as if he was a transparent person who could disappear at any time.
