Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Sigef City is a money-centric city, where wealth can break any rule, including the laws of physics.

Before, Wu Chang had little real feeling about this statement. Although Hou Jingchuan’s files recorded many similar cases, cold numbers could never be as shocking as witnessing it with his own eyes.

Two consecutive days of gunfights severely damaged White Old K’s warehouse at the docks, with bullet holes and bloodstains everywhere.

The most severe damage was in the audience area of the bare-knuckle boxing matches.

Most of the second-floor seats were broken, and you could hardly find an intact piece of glass in the VIP viewing rooms on the third floor.

The KO bare-knuckle boxing matches organized by White Old K are the most popular entertainment events in Sigef City, with tremendous influence. Wu Chang could not give them up.

So he took this opportunity to plan a renovation of the KO bare-knuckle boxing match venue.

Not only would he rebuild the site and seating areas, optimize the viewing environment, but he also planned to formalize the event and launch live broadcasts of the bare-knuckle matches.

For the venue’s reconstruction, Miles approached a junior from his architecture department, paid five times the usual rate, and got the blueprints ready overnight.

Miles took the blueprints and hired three construction teams. At five times the normal project cost, the three teams gave it their all.

From Wu Chang’s perspective, time in the arena seemed fast-forwarded. The construction team members moved so fast they left afterimages, rebuilding the venue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He observed carefully for a long time but could not figure out why this space could fast forward, as if the world’s rules began to break apart when money was involved.

Compared to Wu Chang’s surprise, Miles and other White Old K members were much calmer.

They calmly put up yellow construction tape, forbidding others from approaching, as if they were used to it.

Wu Chang once asked Miles and learned that it wasn’t as simple as just paying money to accelerate anything.

To accelerate, one must first obtain relevant qualifications, and it can only apply to the profession you are in. If White Old K did the repairs themselves, no amount of money could speed it up.

Additionally, acceleration only applies to inanimate objects and cannot speed up the growth of animals or plants, nor can it hasten physical actions.

Various sports are out of the question.

This left Wu Chang a bit disappointed. If it could be applied to living things, if money could speed up actions, it would be much more powerful than numbers.

Although living beings can’t accelerate, the natives accustomed to Sigef City’s rules can adapt to accelerate.

For example, once a target is identified, everything progresses at an astonishing speed.

According to Miles’ intelligence, there are twelve factions involved with Perico and other leaders.

Among them, with Perico at the forefront, four are internal forces of White Old K, and the other eight are external forces, involving both political and business circles in Sigef City. They are influential local figures.

Miles and the Negotiation Master went to persuade the eight. Under the Negotiation Master’s power and negotiation skills, in just one day, five were willing to establish cooperation with the new White Old K.

The negotiation order went from strong to weak. The first five powerful factions were willing to cooperate, while the other three weaker ones, fearing being kicked out, proactively sent representatives to contact the Negotiation Master.

In Miles’ plan, what was supposed to take three weeks was accelerated to just a day, provided there was sufficient strength shown.

Compared to Hymn Company, Sigef City was like passive slackers.

As for the internal cleansing of White Old K, that was even easier.

Wu Chang went for a walk at Ding Shouzi Plaza in the morning, initially intending to pick a few capable players to do the hard work, but unexpectedly ran into Booker.

Booker, dragging along Colton and calling Veronica, came to him together.

According to Booker, as per White Tower’s request before they came, they shouldn’t actively contact him and should spread out to provide him with information.

Wu Chang curiously asked, ”Then why did you still come to me?”

Booker rubbed his nose and said, ”The noise at the motel was too loud at night. Colton and I couldn’t sleep at all.”

”After all, whether there’s three more of us or three less, it doesn’t affect this scenario much. Tracking targets can just be left to our colleagues.”

Although the three weren’t at the top in combat power, they were much better than Independent Players.

The three of them, along with Wu Chang, each took charge of a place. It only took half a day to cleanse four internal factions.

As night fell, Wu Chang slipped each of them a stack of Federation Coins. The Negotiation Master, who contributed the most and was somewhat of an acquaintance, received an extra envelope from Wu Chang when others weren’t looking.

This was a lesson he learned as Li Zaisi—that if you want subordinates to work hard, the boss must be generous with money.

One day, ten thousand Federation Coins.

Clutching the bills, Booker felt a bit aggrieved for the predecessors who had entered the scenario before.

Earning and spending in Sigef, don’t even think about taking a penny home. Over 80% of predecessors who gathered information had savings of less than four digits when leaving the scenario, while they could easily earn ten thousand in just one day.

Even as workhorses, they were doing so well; they couldn’t imagine how much Wealth Peace, the boss of White Old K, was worth.

And this was only the third day of the scenario.

This guy might really have a secret deal with the game administrator.

While Booker and others were counting their money, Wu Chang already called Miles over to discuss the gang’s next moves.

He was not content with just White Old K’s influence; in terms of impact, no matter how much black, nothing draws more attention than a hint of white.
