Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Wu Chang, as if oblivious to the murderous expression, said, ”It’s true. I went through considerable trouble to obtain this intelligence from the Four Major Organizations.”

”By the way, the World Dungeon has appeared many times, but you’ll notice—why is it so difficult to even see those four words on the player forums, and why does no one tell you what the countdown timer in the plaza represents?”

”Because this intelligence is monopolized by the Four Major Organizations. In previous World Dungeons, ninety percent of the spots were monopolized by the Four Major Organizations through information asymmetry. So, I can’t stand this approach, hence I’ve freely open-sourced it to you all.”

”This may be your only chance in this life to turn things around. Whether or not you seize it is entirely up to you.”

Wu Chang’s additional response sent the audience into another frenzy. Just as the next highly praised comment was about to appear, the broadcast of ’Each Issue’s Hotspot’ was cut off.

It wasn’t done by the Management Bureau, but was a joint request from the other three organizations. With more than half controlling stake from the three, they took over the control of the studio space and forcibly terminated the program.

If not for Hou Jingchuan managing to delay for a while, the program might have been cut off immediately after Wu Chang finished his first segment.

Wu Chang looked at the members of the production team, who appeared ashen-faced, and said, ”Relax. They won’t trouble you because of this incident, as I’ve said.”

As for the outcome of the program being cut off, Wu Chang was even more satisfied than if the program had ended normally.

After all, he had already said what he needed to. How far they could go next depended on the players’ desire to progress.

The reason he published the method to obtain pass qualifications for the World Dungeon was to diminish the Four Major Organizations’ control over it.

He believed Hou Jingchuan could win, and he believed the Order Sect might control the Management Bureau of the Desolate Realm. However, he did not trust the other three organizations, nor did he intend to.

The best way to deal with them was to let a large number of Independent Players qualify, and let these players enter the World Dungeon with inherent hostility and vigilance towards the Four Major Organizations.

With such a large group of uncontrollable forces, even if the other three organizations intended to cause trouble, it would be extremely difficult; they would achieve little despite their efforts.

Moreover, muddying the waters made it easier for him to take advantage.

In the tavern, the players were on the brink of going mad.

At first, when Wu Chang published the intelligence, the players didn’t dare to believe it. With ”My strength relies entirely on effort” as a prelude, they couldn’t ascertain whether what Wu Chang said was true or false.

But the program being interrupted halfway made this piece of intelligence instantly believable.

If it wasn’t true, then why didn’t they dare let Wu Chang continue speaking?

As the public opinion intensified, some insider groups timely spoke out. Similar to Divine Tongue and others, they had heard rumors of the World Dungeon, though not in such detail.

As fragmented pieces of intelligence continued to emerge, they increasingly verified Wu Chang’s statements as true, rapidly elevating Wu Chang’s status among the Independent Players.

Peace is worth befriending; when there’s a secret to improve oneself, he genuinely speaks!

Meanwhile, more distraught than ’Each Issue’s Hotspot’ and more frenzied than the Independent Players were the Four Major Organizations, whose intelligence monopoly had been exposed.

Among them, Hou Jingchuan and others differed from the other top executives of the Four Major Organizations. In addition to their shock and anger, there was also a trace of guilt.

After all, they were the ones who agreed to let Wu Chang be interviewed.

Among everyone, Cold Mountain’s demeanor was the most relaxed. He was merely an unemotional Breaker concerned only with Wu Chang and how to advance the dungeon; regarding World Dungeon intelligence, he not only didn’t care but even found it somewhat amusing.

Peace truly deserves the title of a monstrous rookie; he always manages to concoct new tricks.

He said, ”Things have escalated to this point; what should we do now?”

Hou Jingchuan was the first to react. He took a deep breath before saying,

”This is actually an opportunity. Before the intelligence from the Realm of Reason is transmitted, while everyone is still in chaos, I will convene an emergency meeting. Under the pretext of investigating the leak of important intelligence, I’ll call the Evolution Sect people for an emergency strategy session.”

”You’ve seen the events in the Realm of Reason. This time it’s our turn in the Order Sect to take the initiative. They made the first move; it’s our turn for the counteraction. I plan to take advantage of this meeting to take control of the people from the Evolution Sect.”

”In misfortune, there lies fortune. Perhaps this time, that Peace friend of ours has actually created a favorable opportunity for us.”
