Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 176 Us
To be honest, the moment Lao Wang opened his mouth, Zhang Chulan could roughly guess what the other party wanted to ask.

But Zhang Chulan didn't know the answer to this question either, so he could only answer bluntly, "I don't know either."

"What I do know is that if a company has something called 'authority,' then his authority must be very high..."

"According to the person in charge of our district, it's even taller than the headquarters building."

Having said that, he regained some of his youthful playfulness and asked Wang Ye, "You haven't tried that, so... you're asking about the inner world?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye's eyes twitched slightly, and he replied, "Of course I'll try."

Zhang Chulan asked in confusion, "You tried? Then you should already have the answer, why are you asking me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but take a step back and lean against the earthen wall, as if the phantom pain he had encountered in the inner vision had returned, making him feel 'somewhat' uncomfortable.

He bared his teeth, suppressed the non-existent pain with the Wudang Heart Sutra, and then said to Zhang Chulan, "The Inner Realm isn't an omnipotent wish-granting machine, you've seen it before."

“Abuse can lead to disaster, and the price of trying to know everything is very high.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan raised an eyebrow and then asked, "Oh..."

"That's... a giant fireball?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye's face twitched slightly, and he replied indifferently, "Yes, it's very big."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then exhale.

He clicked his tongue again, and only after a slight taste of blood came out did he answer, "I reckon the company knows that Liu Ke is in Biyou Village."

"And Liu Ke naturally knew that we had arrived."

After saying that, Zhang Chulan frowned and said while thinking, "If even Fourth Brother doesn't know that Liu Ke is here, then it means that the company doesn't want to tell Fourth Brother, nor does it want to tell us."

"And Little K..."

"He didn't come looking for us either, so I guess... he doesn't want to see us either..."

Wang was a smart man and naturally understood Zhang Chulan's meaning. After meeting his gaze, he asked in confusion, "Shouldn't you... be together?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly a few times, and said, "We? Which 'we' are you referring to?"

"Me and the company, or me and Liu Ke, or Liu Ke and the company?"

After saying that, he scratched his head and said speechlessly, "Actually, normally speaking, it should be as you said."

"However, who doesn't have their own little schemes? It's good to have a big tree to lean on, but leaning on a big tree is just a process and a choice..."

"Isn't it normal to have disagreements?"

After hearing this, Wang Ye asked, "So what are you going to do?"

After hearing this, Zhang Chulan scratched the back of his head and said, "I won't ask about the company."

"I need to meet with Xiao Ke to avoid any misunderstandings."

Wang nodded silently, then said directly, "What if that's what he meant?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan felt somewhat relieved and said, "Then let's do it officially, keep good records, submit a form, and leave a record of our work..."

"When it comes to friendship, the key is the relationship. But when it comes to work, the key is attitude."

Then, Zhang Chulan changed his tone and asked Wang Ye, "Daoist Wang, if you were in his shoes, what would you do?"

Wang Ye paused, scratched his head, and replied, "I don't know, maybe... well, never mind if I don't know." Zhang Chulan waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, let's talk about something else. Things will work themselves out. Is there anything else in the village... worth paying attention to?"

After hearing this, Wang Ye told Zhang Chulan what he had seen and heard, as well as the most important things in the village, the [Divine Refinement] and the [Cultivation Furnace].

Zhang Chulan nodded after hearing this and said, "Thanks, Lao Wang, this information is very important."

"A body-refining furnace? I think... I've got a clue."

After another ten breaths, Wang spoke again, his tone calm: "Your mission is to deal with Biyou Village, right?"

"In that case... count me in!"

Seeing Wang Ye's strange expression, Zhang Chulan asked curiously, "Didn't you just say you didn't know how to choose?"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the village, in Village Chief Ma's 'operation room,' a similar conversation was taking place.

The people talking were Zhuge Qing and Ma Xianhong.

Normally, at this time of day, Village Chief Ma would be instructing the women to carry out earthwork at night.

However, the reputation of Na Du Tong was ultimately great enough that even a proud and talented man like Village Chief Ma had no choice but to rest well at night and not exert his energy too much, lest he be ambushed in the middle of the night.

Of course, manipulating a hundred "Ru Hua" machines would indeed take a toll on Ma Xianhong's mind and energy, but relatively speaking, if he were just doing ordinary tasks, there would be no loss.

At this moment, Ma Xianhong was creating the [Divine Core] and placed it inside a Ruhua doll, activating the Divine Core puppet.

Upon seeing Ru Hua 'open her eyes' and begin to function, Ma Xianhong said:
"Brother Qing, this Ruhua is now yours to command."

"Thank you for being the twelfth person with superior roots."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing said, "It's nothing. I just think that 'change' is a good thing."

These words seemed to come out of nowhere, prompting Ma Xianhong to raise an eyebrow and ask, "Brother Qing, do you sorcerers usually speak like this..."

Zhuge Qing smiled upon hearing this and replied, "You mean, the riddle teller?"

Seeing Ma Xianhong nod, Zhuge Qing explained, "It's normal. Things obtained from inner vision must be treated with caution, and one must be careful when speaking."

"It would be best to make this a habit, so that you won't say the wrong thing when you're not thinking clearly in the future and suffer the 'retribution' again."

"This is a compulsory course for every warlock."

After saying that, he added, "Master, there is also something I want to ask you."

Upon hearing the title 'cult leader,' Ma Xianhong couldn't help but shudder, then asked, "What do you want to ask? Just say it."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing pondered for a moment, remained silent for more than ten breaths, and finally sighed with a smile, saying, "It's nothing, just a trivial matter."

"I just wanted to ask... why don't you call me 'Brother Zhuge'? It sounds much better that way."

After hearing this, Ma Xianhong paused for a moment, then said directly, "It's nothing, after all, your surname is Zhuge. When I talk about you, I call you 'Brother Zhuge'..."

"I have a feeling that something's off."

"After all, you are a descendant of Zhuge Liang, so you should naturally be more respectful."
