Chapter 181 Ambush
Wu Chang first put aside the pitfalls in Cui Chengze's mission, looked at Jian Xing and asked:
"When did you discover the identity of the Midi nation? Why didn't you tell me?"
Jian Xing said, "There is one thing we haven't finished with regarding their intelligence. We want to finish everything before reporting to you, boss."
Although everyone belongs to the same force, there is also competition between them. Whether it is Sword Star and Negotiation Master, or Shadow and Great White Shark, they all want to improve the boss's favorability.
A hidden NPC like Li Zaishe is a rare opportunity. If your favorability is raised to a certain level and some hidden item is dropped, its value will be higher than clearing a dungeon.
Shadow exceeded expectations in completing the task. Relying on his skills, he was able to monitor multiple other forces at the same time. His combat power was the strongest among the few people, and his presence was fully felt.
Although Great White Shark is slightly inferior in strength, she has the talent of a pirate captain, and she is indispensable for the subsequent driving of the Star Leap.
Compared with the other two, Jianxing and Negotiation Master are not at an advantage in strength, and their functionalities have not yet been demonstrated, so they are naturally anxious.
We finally made a breakthrough in investigating the American Empire's spies. How could we easily give this credit to others?
Wu Chang guessed Jian Xing's thoughts, but he didn't ask further, "What else do you have left to finish?"
Jianxing hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell everyone the progress.
"Boss, when we were investigating those Midian spies, we heard them mention something..."
On the first day on board the Star Leap, Wu Chang handed the list of names to Jian Xing after the dinner.
Jian Xing and the Master of Negotiation were very concerned about this mission as it was related to the exploration of the main storyline. They immediately locked onto several people and began tracking them.
By the end of the dinner that night, they had actually discovered the true identities of several people.
Two of the rookies wanted to sneak into the captain's cabin and ran into Jiang Junxi who stayed in the cabin.
Although Jiang Junxi was killed casually by Wu Chang with a stick on the head, as the apparent controller of the Star Leap and an active navy officer, Jiang Junxi's strength is not weak, and he is even stronger than the four Vajras behind Li Zaishe.
Jiang Junxi pressed the two rookies to the ground on the spot and was about to drain their blood to nourish the formation. In order to survive, the two rookies exposed their identities as spies from the Midi country.
The two rookies escaped thanks to their Midi identity, but before they could get far and turn a corner after leaving the cab, they were held down by Jian Xing and the Negotiation Master again.
The "Negotiation" in the name of Negotiation Master is not in vain.
Based on Jian Xing's implicit expression, Wu Chang guessed that she possessed some kind of ability to force negotiations. As long as both parties agreed on a price and passed a certain skill judgment, the other party must unconditionally implement the content of the negotiation.
Relying on their ability as masters of negotiation, the two learned that the people who appeared at the banquet were just the little Karami among the spies of the Midi country, and the real person in charge on the ship was someone else.
According to the agreement, they would meet every three days after entering the shipwreck zone to summarize the intelligence they had collected.
Then their leader will take out a communication device that is not affected by the shipwreck belt and transmit everything that happens in the shipwreck belt.
After each message was transmitted, the spy chief would also send a string of special numbers. Even the two spies they caught did not know what the string of numbers meant.
Because of the master negotiation's abilities, after the negotiations ended, the two rookie spies completely forgot what had happened before, and no one knew they had leaked the secret.
There has been no news from Jianxing and the Master of Negotiation during this period. They have been monitoring this group of Midi people.
According to their observations, the abilities of that group of spies were mediocre. Although each of them had some unique skills, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, five or six of them tied together were at most at the level of Qinglong, and were not strong enough for Jianxing to kill alone.
After preliminary judgment, even with their leader, two people are enough to deal with it, so he was not in a hurry to tell Wu Chang and
After listening to Jian Xing's report, Wu Chang asked, "Have they found out who is in charge?"
Jian Xing shook his head and said, "The person in charge was very cautious and maintained one-way communication with other members. We were unable to find any trace of him."
"They were supposed to meet two days ago and send intelligence, but they happened to run into Jiang Junxi and his group planning to seize the ship. Jiang Junxi found the two rookies and asked them to pass on the message, so the meeting was canceled."
"Then the boss took over the control of the Star Moon from Jiang Junxi. Today, your secretary brought Qinglong and others to re-plan the cabin control area. The passengers stayed in the cabin, which was inconvenient to move around. In order to not be noticeable, the group of Midi spies remained silent for another day."
"When everything returns to normal tomorrow and there are no other factors interfering, they should take action. Whether it is meeting every three days or sending the accumulated intelligence to the outside world, we estimate that they should take action tomorrow night."
Wu Chang nodded, agreeing with Jian Xing's analysis.
He didn't care about the identity of the Midian spy chief, but he was very concerned about the communicator in the other party's hand.
A prop from Midi Country that can break the signal blockade. His inspiration tells him that the thing will come in handy.
He was determined to get that communicator.
As for the mysterious string of numbers mentioned by Jian Xing, it was obviously some kind of important clue. If possible, he wanted to take this clue as well.
He looked at Jian Xing and said slowly: "You have done a good job. The progress of this matter is still up to you, but I will find some helpers for you."
Jian Xing was about to say that they didn't need help, but Wu Chang interrupted him with his hand.
"I will find helpers for you, not only Shadow and Great White Shark, but also our allies. If it is true as you said, those spies from the Midi Kingdom are so careless, you will definitely not be the only ones targeting them."
"And from what I know about the Midi people, they are used to suppressing with firepower. Even if they are not completely overwhelming in terms of strength, there will not be only a few rookies in charge of this operation. I am afraid that their true combat power has not yet been demonstrated."
It's not that Wu Chang was too cautious, nor that Li Zaishe, whom he replaced, knew anything about the Midian spies. It's simply an information asymmetry.
As the initiator of a force, he can see the ranking of his own forces.
When he first established his power, it was shown that his power ranking was 5th.
He brought his own men with him when he boarded the ship. As the biggest financier of the New Universe Sect, he had a pretty good relationship with Park Changmin and was sought after by six or seven upper-class people. From any angle, there was no reason for his power ranking to be lower than Li Yubin.
So besides him and Li Yubin, there should be at least four other forces on the ship.
The New Universe Sect is a force, the navy represented by the captain is a force, and the Revelation where Yoon Junhao is located is a force. In the end, there is still one missing.
The last force was the Midi spy.
The only possible variable is Li Yubin, the spy chief of the American Empire.
But the probability of this happening is extremely low. If Li Yubin is a spy, then it would be much easier for him to achieve his goal by returning to Sanshang Group and becoming a senior manager than by becoming a thorny reporter and causing trouble everywhere.
Exposing small businesses and winning people's hearts are trivial matters that can be accomplished by cultivating an NGO, but the top management of San Shang Group is not so easy to buy off.
If Jianxing and the Master of Negotiation continue to attack that group of Midi spies, I'm afraid they will both be killed this time.
Jian Xing hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to accept Wu Chang's arrangement.
Wu Chang's entrusting him with the task has already sent out a signal that he understands their contribution.
As an excellent employee, being hardworking and diligent is far less useful than making your boss think that you are hardworking and diligent.
Now what they have done has been reported to the boss, and the boss has recognized their work, so Jianxing and the negotiation master don't have to risk their lives anymore.
"Everything is subject to your instructions, boss."
Wu Chang waved his hand and said, "Okay, get out."
Jian Xing nodded and was about to leave when he heard a voice behind him, "Wait!"
Jian Xing turned his head and saw Wu Chang, who seemed to suddenly remember something, and said:
"I asked you to come in because I wanted to tell you that there will be a new person coming in tomorrow and I wanted you to help keep an eye on him. I almost forgot about it when you interrupted me just now."
Jianxing: “Ah?”
It was not until Jian Xing left the suite in a daze that he realized that his boss was not dissatisfied with his work and came to ask about his progress in person, but was preparing to let him train new people. As a result, the boss asked casually, and he confessed everything.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily, slapping his forehead with his palm.
After a brief moment of regret, he could only comfort himself that no matter what happened in the process, the result would be good after all.
He opened a communication talisman and called the negotiation master who was still monitoring the Midi spies.
Negotiation Master: “What’s the matter?”
Jian Xing said in a low voice: "I just thought about it carefully. The incident involving the people of Midi Country is too big for the two of us to handle. It just so happened that I just met Li Zaishi, so I took the opportunity to tell him everything."
The negotiation master asked, "What was the result?"
Jian Xing said in a relaxed tone: "The boss said we did a great job. He plans to gather some people to do something big together. The two of us will be in charge."
The negotiation master was silent for a moment, then praised: "Okay, I admit that you are a little better than me in judging important events."
The next morning, everyone who received Wu Chang's message arrived at the banquet hall on the seventh floor early.
At nine o'clock in the morning, a muscular man over two meters tall walked into the banquet hall. Even in the Silent Route copy where everyone had double doors, his body was exaggeratedly broad, like a moving wall.
Chengqiang waved and greeted everyone, "Good morning, everyone. My name is Psychos, and I'm here to play, ahem, to apply for the bodyguard position."
Shadow and Great White Shark had an impression of the big guy in front of them. This big guy named Sykes had also appeared when Wu Chang was recruiting in the bar that day.
You don't need to look to know that he is a standard strength-specialized player. Even if you don't look at his exaggerated size, you can feel the impact of his attributes if you close your eyes.
Shadow, in particular, paid special attention to Psychos's existence, because after leaving that day, he tried to investigate Psychos.
But no matter from the internal system of Star Leap or tracking, no trace of Sykos could be found, as if he was a transparent person who could disappear at any time.
Shadow is very familiar with this situation, which means that the big guy in front of him, in addition to being much stronger than ordinary players, also possesses some powerful stealth skills, whose effect is no less than his shadow stealth.
When he discovered this fact, Shadow couldn't help but sigh that being an assassin these days is so competitive that even Berserkers have to learn to become invisible to grab business.
Wu Chang introduced to everyone:
"He is Sykos. He found me a few days ago after following Shadow and Great White Shark. Unfortunately, he failed to complete the task I assigned to him in time. But I made an exception and gave him another chance to join as a trainee member."
"I know this is very unfair to everyone, and I believe in fairness, so I'm giving everyone a chance. If anyone thinks that Psychos isn't strong enough to stay, they can compete with him. If he wins, he stays, and if he loses, he leaves."
"Anyone willing to give it a try?"
The big guy Psychos in front of him is Wu Chang’s true self.
After activating the giant whale transformation, his true self's initial strength value reached 84. During this period, he had been letting his true self turn on social phobia and elite stealth to hide around him.
While everyone was not paying attention, the true self devoured the vitality of Captain Jiang Junxi and First Mate Li Yuanzhi. As elite monsters in the A-level copy that was on the verge of getting out of control, their strength was no less than that of Duke Lutz in the Midnight Cemetery. Each of them provided 20 points of strength to the true self.
This brings my current strength points to 124 points.
124 points of strength, combined with a body as big as a mountain, is enough to daunt anyone.
At least among all the players, no one thought that Wu Chang’s decision was unfair and wanted to test the quality of Psychos.
Especially Jian Xing, he was the first to retreat. He knew the rules of sparring with Wu Chang: fighting with bare hands and stopping when the time is right.
He could still give it a try with Qinglong, but facing the little giant in front of him, if he was slapped by the opponent, wouldn’t his medical insurance card be knocked away?
Seeing that no one was stepping forward, Qinglong had no choice but to walk out.
As Wu Chang's number one bodyguard, he is obliged to screen qualified candidates for his boss.
Feeling the sympathetic eyes of the crowd, Qinglong took the initiative to say without waiting for Wu Chang to speak:
"Bare-handed sparring, stop when it's enough!"
I smiled and replied, “Okay.”
The two men slowly approached each other. Qinglong, who was always known for his fierce and aggressive fighting style, rarely showed a defensive stance. He activated the energy in his body right from the start. The Qinglong tattoo on his body seemed to come alive, coiling around him and defending against the impending attack.
Wu Changzhen was very relaxed. After the Thunder Method Fragment was upgraded to the Thunder Method Fragment, he had already mastered all the skills in the previous Thunder Method Fragment. Now was a good time to try out his newly familiar skills.
I saw that my true self was standing in a relaxed posture the moment before, and then suddenly sped up the next moment. His body was as fast as lightning, and in an instant he came in front of Qinglong and threw a punch.
Qinglong raised his arm to block, but found that his block was in vain. He looked carefully and realized that the fist that hit him was just an afterimage.
not good!
Qinglong sensed something was wrong and was about to dodge when his ribs suddenly tightened and two large hands like palm-leaf fans clamped around his torso, one on the left and one on the right.
The next moment, big hands exerted force, clamped his ribs like holding a child, and lifted him off the ground.
Wu Chang on the side said: "That's it!"
Zhenwo stopped and put Qinglong back on the ground, smiling and saying, "Thank you."
The ability he used just now was the body movement in the remaining chapters of thunder magic - Lightning Thunder Shadow.
When Chi Yuan used the Lightning Thunder Shadow, he was able to use the lightning power to create two afterimages that acted with him. Not only was the speed fast, but it also made it impossible for the opponent to identify his true identity.
Now that Wu Chang has upgraded his martial arts to the fragments of thunder magic, he can also use this trick to create afterimages, and the afterimages are more realistic than the ones created by Chi Yuan at that time. Even Qinglong was fooled by him.
The players present were all aware of Qinglong's strength. He was much weaker than those max-level players, but it was not easy for them to defeat Qinglong without using a killing move.
Especially for Jianxing and Negotiation Master, even if they could kill Qinglong without using their killing moves, they would still suffer serious injuries.
Seeing that Qinglong was easily lifted up by the newcomer in the field of bare-handed fighting, which he was best at, like an adult beating a child, everyone was not dissatisfied at all and immediately applauded to welcome the newcomer to join.
After successfully sneaking his true self in, Wu Chang began to plan his evening operations.
The shipwreck zone was calm during the day.
Choi Sung-taek continued to arrange the ceremony of absorbing the origin of mysticism. Wu Chang met with Yoon Jun-ho who came to visit and told them that there was no problem and that they could continue to change the kingdom of God on earth according to the agreement between the two parties.
However, Wu Chang specifically instructed them to leave the most critical node on the fourth deck to be changed last.
It got dark quickly at sea and the sun set in a flash.
As the moon rose, Wu Chang and his men joined forces with Li Yubin's forces and ambushed at the place that Jian Xing had prepared in advance.
Several Midi spies who had long been marked by Wu Chang gathered furtively in a cargo hold on the first floor, waiting for their leader to appear.
Not long after, a mysterious man covered in a robe quickly came to the cargo hold on the first floor and said to everyone:
"Have you finished preparing all the intelligence?"
Everyone quickly handed over the intelligence they had prepared.
The mysterious man took the information and prepared to turn around and leave. Wu Chang and others were about to take action, but unexpectedly a white shadow emerged from the shadows and rushed towards the mysterious man before them.
