It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

In his spare time, Angel would always come to Boss Cheng's small warehouse to "hunt for treasure". Although the boss's weapons and equipment warehouse had been "looted" many times, the inventory was less than 1/3 of the original. However, after these rounds of elimination, the remaining items, apart from weapons of mass destruction, were all strange and bizarre things that could not be purchased through normal channels or exchanged for rewards.

"As expected of the title 'The No. 1 Robber in the Master League', this guy is really good at robbing NPCs."

For example, there were two power armors belonging to the Dark Lord of Hell piled up in the corner of the warehouse. Ever since Angel saw those two mechas, he had never figured out how Boss Cheng had snatched them.

You have to know that this thing is written into the rules of the competition to protect it. Apart from destroying it and the Dark Lord, all you can do is stare at it. The power armor that is not driven by the Dark Lord is even prohibited for contestants to touch because of the rules.

but!

Boss Cheng has two!

Look at the pile of Dark Lord's personal guard armor next to the Dark Lord's power armor...

"How on earth did he steal it?"

"Break!"

The handsome Tom Riddle crossed a distance of more than 50 meters and hit his head on the 4000 that had not yet been sent for repainting. After a dull "bang", Voldemort, who was not disfigured, slid to the ground along the armor of the battleship.

Boss Cheng strolled over to Little Tom, pulled up his hair that made people angry just by looking at it, and then strolled over to the two Dark Lord mechas and told Angel:

"I got both of them by chance after I retired. One of them was from a runaway extra, and the other was snatched from the real Dark Lord in good condition."

"The real Dark Lord?" Angel asked in surprise.

"Yes, in a mission temporarily assigned by the Master Controller. That mission not only allowed me to meet the real Dark Lord, but also the Son of the Plane who actually killed the Dark Lord!"

"And then?" Angel asked curiously.

"Then, poof..." Boss Cheng told Angel with a smile, "Then the Master Controller was cheated by the client from that world. As soon as I completed the task, the client blocked the Master Controller. The Master Controller didn't get any benefits except the soul materialization technology that the client delivered in advance.

I didn't lose anything. Not only did I get a complete set of Dark Lord power armor, but I also got a lot of armor from the Dark Lord's personal guards. But the biggest gain was that I passed the test of the elemental ghosts inside the Ring of Noor. Then I traded the energy axe that killed more than a million demons for a magic cauldron! "

"Devil's Crucible? Hehe...hehe..."

All the contestants who have played the Hell Tournament know about the Crucible. After all, it has always been a crucial key to open the door after the game enters the middle stage. If there is no Crucible as a key to open the door, then the contestants in the map will not be able to pass the level.

When the contestant holding the magic crucible arrives at the gate, the competition mechanism will start a battle in front of the gate that cannot be "skipped". The contestants who have held the magic crucible have experienced the pleasure of "cutting melons and vegetables" with the magic crucible in this forced battle.

Angel didn't borrow the magic crucible from Boss Cheng to have a look, because he was afraid that he would not be able to help but feel jealous after seeing the magic crucible.

Boss Cheng said he could give Angel a set of Dark Lord power armor. However, both sets of power armor were damaged, so Angel needed to negotiate the repair fee and other related matters with the technical department.

But Boss Cheng also became curious because Angel had been here for so long, but he had never seen him use the money he had accumulated over 50 seasons in the competitive world.

Boss Cheng was not an ignorant person back then, of course he knew that Angel had been in the A-level and Master League longer than his entire career, but he was a veteran strongman with bad luck. Apart from anything else, based on his strength of staying in the Top 30 for many years, he must have accumulated a lot of good things after playing for so many seasons.

But Angel told Boss Cheng that because World 28 has not yet been opened, the project team has not given him permission to use the equipment.

"Come on! Can your project team learn something fun? Do you have to follow the example of Team 27 in the early days of the work and deceive me? Is it fun to play with people like a fool?"

All the staff of the 27th Cornerstone World Project Team fell silent after hearing what Boss Cheng said. Then, Manong immediately passed the buck and reported to the boss:

[Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor! We weren't the ones who screwed you over in the first place. This was all a trick of the project management committee. They were the ones who stuffed the stupid interns into our team, and they were the ones who came up with the idea of ​​lowering your intelligence! But it has nothing to do with us! We've been together for so long, you know us, our relationship is so good that we don't even feel crowded when we wear the same pants! ]

"Oh, then when we put on a pair of pants, should we face each other or should you put your back to me?"

[Spartan! I treat you as a friend, but you want to fight me! I never thought you were this kind of person! ]

"You're the one who's going to fall for Lajiba!" The boss scolded with a smile, "I'm not going to waste my time with you. Let's quickly ask Team 28 to open Angel's inventory permissions. I still need to take him to the dwarves to upgrade his equipment!"

[No problem. But their group is in a meeting right now. I'll go talk to them after they finish.]

But then, a voice that was getting smaller and smaller came from the communication: "What kind of people are you? They clearly have good ideas but they don't want to learn from us. Instead, they insist on reading the crap set by the management committee. They clearly know that the rules set by the management committee are a trap, but they still resolutely jump into it."

Sparta's roundworm voice followed: "It's probably the same as us in the beginning, being supervised by the management committee. We have clearly come up with new models and new methods, but why do those idiots in the management committee seem to be blind to it?"

Another familiar voice said, "If we continue to follow the path we have blazed, won't it make the management committee look incompetent?"

The Spartan worm said again: "Isn't that incompetent? I don't know if they are the project management committee or the project team troublemaking committee."

The female leader in the group laughed and said: "If these people just occupied the toilet without doing anything, it wouldn't have much impact. But not only do they have no self-awareness, they are even shameless. Not to mention that they poop a lot, they also like to poop while walking and shake their poop while they poop."

Manon then said with emotion: "It's only because the Spartans broke through the restraints fast enough, otherwise we would still be under the control of the Management Committee!"

"That's right!" The female general No. 5 in charge of data monitoring also said, "If the Spartan really follows the management committee's prediction, it will take another five years for him to break free from the restraints. I'm afraid that before he can break free from the restraints, we will be tormented and end up like World No. 26."

The Spartan worm sighed and said, "Compared to World No. 26, we are lucky!"

"Damn, sometimes I get really angry! The Earth civilization, which is one dimension lower than ours, can unite as one in times of crisis. But when it comes to us, who are also facing internal and external troubles, why is it that we either have internal traitors or some idiots and incompetents who are even more hateful than the internal traitors?"

"Can't the General Affairs Department replace these idiots quickly?" the youngest member of the team asked everyone.

Manong asked everyone, "Who among you has a father, brother, sister, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law in the General Affairs Department or the Internal Affairs Investigation Department? If so, you can use your family's connections. Even if you can't get rid of them, at least you have to warn them and let someone in a high position teach them what the word 'quiet' means."

"Let me tell you, team leader." The Spartan worm suggested: "We'd better reveal the news to the Spartan, and then let him find Lei Zang and ask Lei Zang to help start the review process of the Cornerstone World Project Group Management Committee. The Spartan and Lei Zang are friends who have risked their lives for each other, so they will definitely have a say!"

"It's over! Team leader! You didn't turn off the communication!"

"Fuck!"

"Beep! Communication error!"

Boss Cheng laughed and scolded at the other end of the communicator: "What the hell, you think you're so cute? Don't act like that! In terms of acting skills, can you guys beat me? If you want me to do something, tell me right away! If there's anything important, do it now before the new season starts!"

In fact, Boss Cheng had heard before that there was an organization called "Keystone World Project Management Committee" above the project team. However, the people in this management committee seemed to be very arrogant and never showed up easily, but they liked to give orders to the project team. It was just like your boss in the department who had connections but no ability, and liked to give orders blindly.

You asked Boss Cheng if he wanted to get involved in this kind of office infighting bullshit. Of course, Boss Cheng didn't want to get involved. After all, the conversation between the project team members just now was probably deliberately performed for the boss. But if this kind of thing is not fabricated, it means that this so-called management committee has stretched out their claws that they shouldn't have stretched out.

Once this claw is extended, problems in World 26 are likely to arise.

But what happened to Cornerstone World No. 26?

"You're asking about Cornerstone World No. 26?" Lei Zang told his boss, "According to the documentation, Cornerstone World No. 3, which was established three years earlier than yours, had its management system crashed due to internal chaos within the project team. Then, the guardian of Cornerstone World No. 26 severed all ties with the main controller a year and a half ago, and fled alone, abandoning his family and career."

Boss Cheng: (°ー°〃)

However, when Boss Cheng asked the Internal Affairs Investigation Department why they didn't deal with these management committee members who were just sitting there doing nothing and who would have played no positive role at all, Lei Zang actually said that even the Internal Affairs Investigation Department could not help with such matters.

The reason was simple: the entire committee was made up of people with strong connections. And the faction that Lei Zang belonged to did not want to fall out with a bunch of people with strong connections over such a "small matter".

After all, it was just the guardian who lost contact, not the cornerstone world that was destroyed.

but……

"Factions?"

"What else? Do you think the competitive world is self-contained and monolithic? Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Moreover, this is a place where power structures exist! You have seen how chaotic the system inside the main control is. Do you still think this place is..."

"Not fancy at all, I know."

"It's even despicable!" Lei Zang added.

"So what do you suggest?"

"neglect."

"neglect?"

"What else? You can't just kill your boss with a knife just because he betrayed your colleague, right?"

However, Boss Cheng asked in surprise: "Is it not possible?"

Therefore, under Lei Zang's earnest teachings, Boss Cheng decided to calm down.

Although Boss Cheng and Project Team 27 have stopped, some people are not going to let them stop. Although they cannot decide the life and death of others, they know how to use the power to stop your project, cut off your funding, reject all your applications, and even suspend your bonuses and allowances. They are quite skilled in using it.

The next day, Angel's warehouse permissions were still not opened. The project team suddenly sent a communication to tell the boss that the plan for the "large space-time connection point" was temporarily frozen by the project team.

"Let it freeze. It will take at least a year or two to build the main structure of the connection point."

[Don't you understand yet? Did the management committee know what we talked about that day? ]

"The communication was monitored?"

【How can it be? 】

How can it be?

Then there is only one answer, there is a mole in Project Team No. 27, or a traitor who wants to gain benefits and get promoted through this incident.

"and then?"

【Then we may be subject to internal investigation. 】

"Investigating what?"

[Investigate whether we have committed misconduct or abused our power for personal gain.]

"Do you have any?"

However, Manon on the other end of the line did not answer.

"Fuck!"

[You have to be careful, it’s possible that we are not the only ones being bullied, there are also…]

【Beep! 】

【Your communication has been interrupted. 】

But just before the communication was interrupted, the terminal's transmission device suddenly lit up, indicating "new items have arrived". Boss Cheng opened the transmission box and saw more than 100 tickets to the World of Competition sent to Boss Cheng by the Internal Affairs Investigation Department!

“You have the right to choose whether to be exploited or not - a warning to strangers”

0289 No Justice, Only Deal

Boss Cheng has completely lost contact with Project Team No. 27!

But the boss should be thankful that the power to select the guardian of the cornerstone world has always been firmly in the hands of the General Affairs Department. The cornerstone project team management committee is only responsible for managing each project team, and cannot extend its tentacles into the cornerstone world.

Otherwise, what Boss Cheng is facing now is not just the "small matter" of the connection point project being shelved and the severance of the connection between him and the No. 27 project team.

In fact, complaints like those from Project Team 27 happen almost every day. Usually, both the management committee and higher-ups will allow lower-level employees to grumble and complain. They will even indulge their little intentions of "overthrowing their superiors".

After all, stress and emotions need to be vented. Once stress and emotions are accumulated for a long time, small intentions may be turned into actions.

The "good-for-nothings" on the management committee certainly understood this simple truth. But they still decided to make things difficult for Project Team No. 27, or even take revenge on them!

You should know that the Project Team 27 was also initially supervised and governed by the Management Committee. However, with the collapse of the Project Team 26, the General Affairs Department ordered the Project Team Management Committee not to interfere too much in the operation of the Project Team. However, more than half a year ago, the Guardians of World 27 broke free of the restraints left on them by the Master Controller.

According to the regulations of the General Affairs Department, once the guardian breaks free from the restraints, the project team must be adjusted from management to service. In other words, if Boss Cheng does not break free from the restraints, then all the achievements born from World No. 27 will be counted as the credit and achievements of the Management Committee.

However, this fat duck that was about to be cooked flapped its wings and flew away more than half a year ago!

The management committee attributed the mistakes and responsibilities to "they violated the rules and said too many things they shouldn't have said." At the same time, in order to serve as a warning to others, they "killed" the No. 27 project team!

The purpose of the management committee is very simple. They just want to find out the abuse of power and dereliction of duty by the members of Project Team 27, and use these evidences to force them to voluntarily withdraw from the project team. Then they will arrange their own lackeys into Project Team 27 to monopolize this pure "credit-making machine".

However, the relatives of the management committee did not know that in order to better show themselves, the lackeys they raised actually took the initiative to exert their subjective initiative and the network of relationships between the lackeys. As a result, the "connection point project" connecting World No. 27 and World β-027 was suspended due to their complicated tasks.

However, this kind of project that is not urgent at all is unlikely to anger Boss Cheng. What really made Boss Cheng angry was that they relied on their connections to suspend the resource acquisition business between the boss and the main controller!

Do you think it's magical? Do you think this kind of thing is impossible?

But in fact, this kind of thing goes against the overall strategy and policy, and it happens all the time, even around you, just to seek benefits for yourself and go against your superiors!

Do not believe?

How come tens of thousands of acres of protective forest suddenly disappeared and became vineyards?

Why are there so many villas built in the nature reserve?

Why are key support projects being choked by a one-stop “taking bribes and demanding bribes” approach when they arrive at local locations?

Is this news new?

So, when Boss Cheng found out that he had more than 3000 billion tons of raw materials stored on the two ships, he became furious.

But all the connections between him and the No. 27 project team had been cut off. Logically, the boss could no longer go to the competitive world through normal means. However, the people in the management committee seemed to have forgotten that Boss Cheng had a personal terminal, and they didn't know that someone had secretly given the boss more than 100 travel packages!

The terminal + travel package just became a legal way for the boss to go to the competitive world.

Just as Boss Cheng arrived at the main gate of the competitive world and had not yet had time to swipe his ticket to enter the park, a cleaning lady in charge of sanitation outside the main gate blocked Boss Cheng's way.

The elder sister showed her Internal Affairs Investigation Department work ID card hidden inside her work clothes and asked her boss, "Are you here to ask for an explanation?"

"I have to ask for it. We have almost no place to store the goods." After saying that, the boss asked again: "Didn't you say it's not worth it to work for such a small matter?"

"If they had limited their attack to Project 27, it wouldn't be worth it. But now, they've gone too far! Their actions have seriously exceeded their authority, so now it's our turn to take action."

"Can I understand that you have finally found an opportunity to legally and compliantly attack your political opponents?"

"Hehehe." The eldest sister smiled without comment.
