Chapter 255 Are You Really Against It?

Wu Chang rolled on the ground with his eyes covered. After more than ten minutes, the pain that went straight to his soul was reduced to a bearable level.

He got up from the ground, looked up at the mirror, and found that his eyes were bloodshot. Looking closely, he could see countless cracks on his eyeballs and pupils, and unextinguished embers could be seen deep in each crack.

Good man, he almost burned his eyes out just by taking a look.

Compared with the dark resentment hidden deep within the omniscient crystal, the evil god's true form was as childish as Teletubbies. His strong will had no power to struggle against that resentment and was instantly dispersed.

Fortunately, he was used to hiding himself and never fought a battle without preparation. He swallowed the last Whisper of the Nameless One in advance. Otherwise, even if he didn't die on the spot, his will would collapse and he would become a fool.

How terrifying is the pitch-black resentment? Simply put, it is terrifying enough to break the attribute description of the item.

"Item name: Whisper of the Nameless."

"Item Description: After using the item, you will gain the "Forced Understanding" state. In the "Forced Understanding" state, no matter what happens, the user's willpower will not return to zero, and will not be harmed due to low willpower. Duration: one minute."

"Note: Unexplained whispers filled my ears. Great! I am gradually understanding everything."

The item description of "Whisper of the Nameless" states that the user will gain a state of forced understanding. No matter what happens within one minute, the Willpower will not be reduced to zero, nor will the user be harmed due to low Willpower.

The one minute here refers to one minute in the current plane. He had verified this with Lehman's real body when he first entered the Abyss Game.

However, just now, he stared at the dark resentment for only a moment, and then his state of forced understanding was broken, and he was freed from the state of spying on the resentment.

Abyss game, what are you doing, do something useful.

Wu Chang shook his head and tried his best to recall the brief moment he saw in the dark resentment.

No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember what happened, or what he saw was completely incomprehensible at his current level.

He now understood why he felt his eyes burned when he saw the activated omniscience crystal. It turned out that it was not directed at him, but a self-protection mechanism generated by his inspiration.

Inspiration told him not to look, or he would die.

Unfortunately, this reminder not only failed to alert Wu Chang, but made him even more curious about the secret of the omniscient crystal.

Seeking death is an instinct that humans cannot resist.

This act of seeking his own death cost him his last Whisper of the Nameless, but it was not without gain.

Similar to seeing Lehman's true form in the Moonlight Sanatorium dungeon, seeing Lehman's true form without having a mental breakdown increases his Will attribute by 30 points, while also granting him a special vision of seeing emotions.

This time, he observed the dark resentment for only a moment, and he didn't know what happened in that moment, but it was this moment that increased his willpower by 50 points.

You know, when he observed Lehman's true body, he could increase his willpower by 30 points, but he relied on his spirit not to collapse, stared at Lehman's true body, and discovered that Lehman's true body was composed of emotions, which allowed him to make this breakthrough.

Moreover, the difficulty of increasing willpower from 30 points to 60 points and from 170 to 220 is completely different.

With his willpower before the improvement, even if he saw Lehman's true body again, he would at most feel mental pollution and discomfort in his heart, but he would not die suddenly after seeing it, let alone how many points of willpower attributes he could increase.

From this point, it is not difficult to see how terrifying the black resentment hidden in the omniscient crystal is. I am afraid that if the evil god sees it, his SAN value will be reset to zero and he will fall into madness.

In addition to the improvement in his willpower attributes, he felt that his vision had also undergone some changes, similar to the ability to see emotions.

However, because he couldn't understand what he saw at that moment, he had no idea about his newfound vision and needed to explore it further in the future.

call.

Wu Chang exhaled the foul air from his chest and played with the omniscient crystal in his hand. In the dormant state, the omniscient crystal's resentment was hidden and restrained. As long as he did not actively explore it, it would not harm him.

Although he didn't know where this thing came from, it made Huanxi so concerned about it. The powerful resentment contained in it could even break the rules of the Abyss Game. He could be sure that the value of this thing was definitely higher than he thought.

But how to use it?

When his half cousin entrusted him with the Omniscient Crystal, he seemed to have forgotten to give him an instruction manual.

Just as Wu Chang was complaining, a faint electronic sound rang in his ears.

"Please start the soul binding process and agree to let me enter your spiritual world. I will provide you with guidance, assist you in finding the truth of the world, and help you escape the doomed end."

He frowned and looked at the All-Knowing Crystal in his hand.

"Are you talking to me?"

The Omniscient Crystal was still lifeless and unchanged, but Wu Chang's ears began to ring with electronic sounds again.

"Yes."

Among Schultz's complaints, ever since he obtained the Omniscience Crystal, he has often talked to himself when he is alone.

Wu Chang guessed at the time that Schultz was talking to the omniscient crystal and suspected that the omniscient crystal had a certain consciousness. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Now that we can communicate, things will be much more convenient.

"What are you, a silicon-based life form? Advanced AI? What is your current state, alive or dead?" Facing the omniscient crystal, Wu Chang asked questions like a machine gun.

Perhaps due to the lack of a host, the voice of the All-Knowing Crystal was like a speaker that was about to run out of power. The weak electronic voice said:

"I do not know."

Wu Chang was a little unconvinced, "Your name is Omniscient Crystal, but you don't know what you are?"

The funniness of this sentence is comparable to the unknown creature in Schultz's resentment that had a weakness marked on its head but was unaware of it and still claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent.

Crystal Omniscience said:

"I am not a complete and independent individual, but just one of many. My preset mission is to find helpers, to encourage them to explore the truth of the world and to gain enough energy. Therefore, I cannot answer your question of 'what am I'."

Wu Chang pondered the answer of the Omniscient Crystal. From a literal meaning, the Omniscient Crystal was a part split or created by a powerful being.

That being spread out many omniscient crystals, allowing them to collect energy and look for so-called helpers.

Wu Chang didn’t know the truth about the world it spoke of, or its relationship to the dark resentment at its core, but he was sure that the guy who created the omniscient crystal must have an extremely high level of power.

It should be the top existence in the fourth level of the abyss, or at least the top existence in the third level of the abyss.

He continued to ask:

"What is the soul binding procedure?"

Crystal Omniscience said:

"The soul binding procedure is to allow my existence to merge with your soul and become one with each other. I will serve as your second information processing center, helping you remember, think, analyze, learn, and formulate the most appropriate action plan for you based on your current situation."

Wu Chang nodded without comment. It sounded amazing, like having an external brain. Schultz was able to learn all the knowledge at MIT in just one year, and this was inseparable from the help of the omniscient crystal.

Because of this, Schultz did not worry that his not-so-bright brother would not be able to fully accept his research results.

The temptation to instantly transform from a poor student to a top student is great, but there is no free lunch in the world.

He asked, “What’s the price then?”

The All-Knowing Crystal replied: "The assistant only needs to help me collect energy, collect the special items I need, and allow me to briefly gain control of my body at critical moments."

Wu Chang showed an expression that said, "I knew it." You covet the knowledge hidden in the omniscient crystal, but the omniscient crystal and its maker behind the scenes are coveting your body.

Collecting energy and special items is nothing; the key point is being allowed to temporarily gain control of the body.

Schultz is not afraid, but he can't.

The Omniscient Crystal is precious, but he has many more precious things on him, and there will be more in the future.

As long as the guy who made the Omniscient Crystal is not the creator of the Abyss Game, and his and the other party's talents are digitized and reset to the initial number, the other party's potential may not be stronger than his.

Even if the other party has no ill intentions at the beginning, once he discovers his secret, he will probably have some ideas.

"What happens if I refuse the soulbinding procedure?"

Crystal Omniscience said:

"Then it will be difficult for you to get my help."

"Difficult to do? Then don't do it." Wu Chang shrugged and threw the omniscience crystal into his personal space.

What a joke, he could be controlled by a prop? For him, the All-Knowing Crystal was the icing on the cake. It was better to have it, but it didn't matter if he didn't have it.

But the Omniscient Crystal is different. It cannot act alone. Without its assistant, it cannot accomplish any of its mission.

Now it needs his help. If it keeps wasting time like this, there will come a day when it can no longer bear it.

At that time, he will teach the other person what attitude should be used when asking for help.

After putting away the Omniscient Crystal, the copy plane came to an end with the complete death of Schultz.

"The player has completed the main mission 1: become an employee of Anthem Company and complete a promotion or three weekly performance reviews."

"The player has completed the second main mission: Investigate the secrets hidden by Anthem Company."

"The player has completed the main mission three: Maintain the peace value of Weld City, so that the peace value does not fall below 30 points. The current peace value is 80 points."

Before the final battle, the peace value of Wildo City once dropped below 30 points, but when Schultz transformed into an artificial god, he used virtue and sin to resonate with the citizens of the city, and covered the chaotic will of the citizens with his own will, instantly stabilizing the peace value of Wildo City.

When Schultz created Son of Sin, he incorporated all shareholders into it as materials. Without these unstable factors, the social conflicts in the city of Wildo could be effectively eased in a short period of time.

In addition, Wu Chang does not intend to continue implementing the Hymn Plan and is preparing to stop releasing disqualified monsters into the city of Wildo, so that after the battle, the city of Wildo will fall into a long period of peace.

The combination of several factors enabled the successful completion of the third main mission.

According to the rules of the Abyss game, after completing all the main tasks, players can only stay in the copy for a fixed time limit. If the time limit is exceeded, they will be forced to be teleported out of the copy plane.

But at this moment, the Anthem Company's plane has become the pillar of the present world. As Schultz's "legal heir", Wu Chang successfully turned Anthem Company into his own private plane.

"The player has been recognized by the controller of the Desolate-67254 plane. The Desolate-67254 plane has become the player's private plane. The player has management authority within the plane. Targets not allowed by the player will not be able to enter the plane."

"As the controller, the player anchors with the plane of Desolation-67254, and opens a fixed channel to enter that plane."

……

The subsequent information about the plane channel entrance, time flow rate and copy output is the same as that of the 88th underground shelter plane. The only difference is the last prompt.

"It has been detected that the player has obtained temporary management authority for the Wasteland Realm. The temporary management authority obtained by the player has been upgraded, and the player can travel between the Wasteland Realm and the Reason Realm in advance through the Pillar of the Present World."

"Attention: The Crimson Courtyard Realm is called the Temple of Truth. There are unsafe areas in the Temple of Truth. Since the player has not yet completed the upgrade, it is very dangerous to explore there. Please proceed with caution."

Another Pillar of the Present World came, Wu Chang stroked his chin. The Pillars of the Present World of the four major organizations were constantly being destroyed, while the private Pillars of the Present World in his hands were constantly increasing. When he reached the Realm of Reason, selling special passages to the Wilderness World might be a way to make a fortune.

Anthem Company became his private dimension, so Abyss Game did not urge him to leave immediately. It just so happened that he still had some things to do, so he could use this time to finish them.

Schultz had anticipated the possibility of his failure and had made arrangements in advance. The chairman's badge he handed to Wu Chang was not just a simple badge. At the moment of his death, all the authority that the chairman of Anthem Company should have was transferred to Wu Chang, and an internal company announcement was made.

The elevator, which only Schultz could open, now opens automatically when Wu Chang approaches.

Wu Chang took the elevator back to Schultz's office. As he walked out of the office, he met the assistants who were at a loss.

The assistants working on the 99th floor are the ones who are most dependent on Schultz in the entire company. They are in high positions and can issue orders to any department in the company with the help of Schultz's instructions.

But their power all comes from Schultz. Without Schultz, they just have empty positions and cannot order the management of any department, or even the top employees, to do anything for them.

In the previous battle, they saw Schultz seriously injured, and also received internal information from Schultz that the position of chairman would be transferred to Sean, which made them extremely worried.

They were worried about Schultz's condition and their own future.

As soon as they saw Wu Chang coming out wearing the chairman's badge, several of the senior assistants came forward and asked tentatively, "Sean, Chairman, is Mr. Schultz okay?"

Wu Chang said expressionlessly: "Not very good."

The other party continued to ask: "Do you need us to help you with anything?"

Wu Chang said: "You just need to continue to do your own things. I am the chairman of Shengge Company. Leave the troublesome matters to me."

Wu Chang's words seemed to have some kind of magic. After hearing them, everyone calmed down and returned to their respective workstations, busy with their unfinished work.

Watching Wu Chang enter the elevator and move to the next floor, the assistant who had just spoken whispered:

"Do you feel that Mr. Sean seems to be different?"

Another assistant blushed and whispered:
"I think so too. His aura just now was so strong. No wonder the chairman chose him as his successor."

Wu Chang took the elevator down to the 99th floor. Through internal surveillance, he knew that the senior management of Anthem Company were all here.

When Schultz left his office on the 99th floor, he broke the floor-to-ceiling windows. The windows have not been repaired yet, but none of the managers who had been here before have left.

When they saw Wu Changshua open the door and walk in, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Schultz's influence was still there, and most people did not dare to question Schultz's decision. Most of the level 8 department managers lowered their heads and bowed to Wu Chang.

Among the nine-level partners, Jeffrey and Hughes were the first to acknowledge Wu Chang's identity and nodded and greeted him:

"Chairman."

But the remaining partners had a lot of things in their eyes, including confusion, dissatisfaction, and malice.

They did not take the initiative to greet Wu Chang, and Wu Chang did not care. He looked at everyone and said:
"I'm sure you've all received Chairman Schultz's message. Due to the failure of the Hymn Project, I will be the one managing the Hymn Company for the next period of time."

"I know some people have some misunderstandings about me. I am a very democratic person. If anyone is dissatisfied with me, they can speak up now. For the development of Anthem Company, as long as there are enough people, I will open an internal election and vote."

"After I finish speaking, who is in favor? Who is against?"

As soon as Wu Chang finished speaking, a man who looked to be in his fifties with gray hair on his temples walked out. He had a dignified face and was dressed in a typical old-money style, which was obviously different from Jeffrey and Hughes, who came from a technical background.

Alfie, the ninth-level partner, is the second son of a wealthy family. Unable to inherit the family business but unwilling to be mediocre, he joins Anthem Company and relies on his own strength to gradually reach the position of ninth-level partner.

Alfie looked at Wu Chang with disdain and said, "Sean, what I said is not directed at you, but the Anthem Company is the hard work of everyone. All promotions have rules and regulations, and no one can violate them."

"The chairman has made exceptions for you many times. If you continue like this, things will become a little ugly. Although my words are a bit hurtful, everyone will think so even if I don't say it."

"You weren't here when the company was growing from small to big, you weren't here when the company ran into trouble, and even when we risked everything just now to help Mr. Schultz take down those guys, you were not here."

"Where you are, you are waiting to take over as chairman with no blood on your hands. Even if Mr. Schultz were here, I would tell him directly that I disagree."

Wu Chang nodded. He could understand Alfie's anger. Others had done all the dirty work, but you didn't put in any effort and yet you were able to get a share of the spoils just because you were born well.

He wouldn't be happy about it either.

"Is there anyone else?"

Another Level 9 partner stood up. He didn't add anything, but just said, "I think the same as Mr. Alfie."

The two men had high prestige in the Anthem Company and each had a number of followers. When they saw the two men coming out, five level eight department managers also stood up to oppose them.

In fact, there should have been more, but under the unfriendly looks of Jeffrey and Hughes, many people who raised their feet put them down again.

Both of them knew that they had read Wu Chang's medical records and knew how abnormal Wu Chang's talent area was. They believed that if Schultz dared to give the position to Wu Chang, Wu Chang would definitely be able to keep it.

Wu Chang glanced around and asked, "Is there no one else?"

Seeing no one answering, he turned to the management who were standing still and said sincerely:
"Like Mr. Alfie said, I did something wrong before, but now that Schultz has placed the responsibility in my hands, I will definitely not let him down. Today's crisis is my chance to prove myself to everyone, and you can all witness it with your own eyes."

Alfie and the others frowned when they heard this. What did that mean? If there were more than six opponents, it would be considered a major controversial event and an internal vote could be initiated. Why did Wu Chang act as if it had passed smoothly?

After Wu Chang expressed his opinion to everyone, he turned to look at Alfie and the others with a surprised smile.

"You really object?"

Before Alfie and the others could react, they saw a small white-on-top, black-on-bottom, four-meter-tall hymn appear in the room. It stretched out its hand and swept the seven opponents who stood up out of the window through the broken window.

He smiled at the silent crowd, then said to Jeffrey:
"Mr. Jeffrey, Schultz told me before that the company is in trouble, and it would be right to ask for your help. Please help me contact all the media that are here today. I will hold a press conference regarding today's incident in half an hour."

Half an hour later, all the media personnel present in the city of Weldo, whether they were there voluntarily or involuntarily, were invited by the Anthem Company to the lobby on the tenth floor.

Outside the meeting room, Jeffrey said to Wu Chang: "Chairman Sean, everything is ready."

Wu Chang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Before leaving the copy plane, he must complete Raymond's hidden side quest first.
