Chapter 348: Chapter 302: “A man must not catch the wind at dusk.
“Good.”
Chen Yi nodded, didn’t express any further opinions, and let the middle-aged man lead the way in front of him as he stepped into the elevator to begin his ascent.
Throughout the journey, he made no defensive moves.
As if he was fully confident.
Or as though he didn’t care about his own life.
But only he knew that if he wanted to successfully navigate this map, he would have to resort to so extraordinary ans, as the normal approach would definitely not work, or even if it did, it would be an extrely embarrassing success.
“Ding.”
The elevator quickly reached the 18th floor.
Before stepping out of the elevator, Chen Yi heard a crisp female voice outside, as if she was on a phone call.
“Oh daddy, I know, but the problem is, where am I supposed to find soone who’s good at calligraphy for you? You know what the situation in Ao City is like, and even though we’ve already put out the recruitnt ads, how many people have the courage to co for an interview? I’m working hard, so stop rushing .”
The woman had shoulder-length hair and was dressed in a sowhat sexy outfit consisting of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, her gestures oozing a charming allure.
She stood roughly 176 cm tall.
A height that could easily make many n feel inferior.
A pair of straight and long legs that made one uncontrollably fantasize like a pervert, drooling at the sight.
The woman, seeing the elevator doors open, casually glanced at Chen Yi and his group as they erged from the elevator, flipped her hair, and while still on the phone, entered the elevator, continuing to speak with so complaints on the other end.
Following her were 8 fully ard and sunglass-wearing tough n with cold expressions.
They looked like they weren’t to be trifled with.
Chen Yi did not dwell on the woman for long, but followed the middle-aged man in front of him towards the territory owned by the “Red Skull” on this floor.
On the 18th floor, there were territories belonging to 4 different forces; one plate being that of the “Red Skull.”
What he didn’t know was…
At this mont, countless players in the live-streaming room were feeling sorry for Chen Yi.
The instant that woman appeared just now…
A pop-up erged in the live-streaming room.
“Hidden task: Perhaps you could be the one who’s good at calligraphy. Completing this task might result in so unknown rewards.”
“Rewards: Unknown.”
–
“Such a pity, Chen Yi is clearly focusing all his attention on the ‘Red Skull’ right now, missing such an obvious task hint.”
“I know, right? But it’s normal. It’s said that Chen Yi is just a newbie player who hasn’t even left Newbie Village, so he probably doesn’t have much mapping experience. It’s normal for him not to notice such task hints. Maybe Chen Yi hasn’t even encountered such hidden tasks before and thinks only system-generated tasks are actual tasks.”
“It’s a real sha, the difficulty of this map is already high, and this hidden task could have been a ray of hope.”
“Based on my deduction, if I’m not mistaken, as long as more than half an hour has passed since Chen Yi arrived on the map, no matter where he is, he’ll co across this woman. Maybe the way to clear the level is to catch up with this woman? To marry her and take her ho?”
“Eh? Your reasoning seems plausible. This woman looks like she has a complicated background. If one’s own strength isn’t enough to beco the leader of a D-level chaotic force, maybe opting for a sugar mommy isn’t a bad choice? As long as you please the father-in-law, isn’t it easy to snag the leadership of a D-level force?”
“Money is often related to power.”
“And power, in turn, is inseparable from beauty.”
Li Yi, lounging in his chair, shifted his plump body and smiled as he looked at the picture on the live-stream: “Such a pity I’m fat now; if it were during my peak years of attractiveness, taking down a chick like that would have been no problem at all.”
…
Chen Yi, almost at the entrance of the Red Skull’s territory, seed to glance nonchalantly behind him at the closing elevator doors. He looked at the woman inside, still on the phone, paused for a mont, and then suddenly let out a soft laugh.
At that mont…
A solemn-faced middle-aged man in a suit ca to et them.
“Good day, teacher; I heard the deputy chairman introduce you just now.”
“Sir, your esteed presence is an honor to our establishnt.”
“I just wonder what it is you’re looking for from ?”
The rapid changes in address within three sentences made it unclear whether it was intentional or impromptu.
But seeing the beads of sweat on the middle-aged man’s forehead, it seed more like soone who had no real education but was desperately trying to imitate a scholar, getting anxious and sweating upon realizing they misspoke.
“Let’s talk inside.”
Chen Yi didn’t respond, but walked straight into the territory of the “Red Skull.”
It’s called a territory.
But it looked more like a company.
Its size was roughly 800 square ters.
There were many workstations.
Computers were at every workstation, and quite a few employees were sitting in front of their computers working. Around them, on the couches, sat nurous gunn. The scene was incongruous—in fact, it seed a little like the setting for a phone scam operation.
But he didn’t think for a second that Red Skull’s source of profits was sothing like phone scams.
The reason was simple.
In the old Blue Star, before the leveling-up ga ca along, people were relatively innocent, and it was understandable when soone was deceived. It was a peaceful society after all, and people tended to be relaxed in their daily lives.
But this planet was obviously not normal.
People walking on the streets were worried about being stabbed to death by the person next to them.
Phone scams in this world?
You’d have to be dumb to fall for a scam in a world where you don’t know if you’ll live to see the next day, wouldn’t you?
