Chapter 45 Complicated Schemes

Yu Tian Shen Ming felt he was incredibly handsome. He squatted casually in the corner, basking in the sun. Seeing the target appear, he lazily raised his powerful bow. With a light call and a swift arrow, he effortlessly claimed the opponent's life. How could he be so charming? Yu Tian Shen Ming only regretted that his graceful demeanor hadn't been captured on video to upload online; otherwise, it would surely captivate countless female gamers.

Yu Tian Shen Ming savored his suave performance. Zhan Wu Shang was clamoring that it was his turn next, but he didn't quite hear him and didn't respond. However, Zhan Wu Shang was very afraid that Yu Tian Shen Ming would compete with him! That guy could attack from sixty meters away. Wu Ye was as fragile as an egg; one arrow and boom, he'd explode. He really couldn't compete with him. So, seeing that Yu Tian Shen Ming hadn't said anything, he was very dissatisfied and tugged on Yu Tian Shen Ming's ear, yelling.

"I know!" Yu Tian Shen Ming was annoyed that his reverie had been interrupted and rubbed his ear unhappily.

Coming back to their senses, the two began to seriously consider the problem.

"Do you think he'll come back?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"If he's an idiot..." Although Zhan Wu Shang emotionally believed that all opponents were idiots, reason told him that idiots were actually in the minority in this world.

"Then it's a pity, you probably won't get a kill," Yu Tian Shen Ming said gleefully.

"But Yun Zhong Mu and the others killed him twice, didn't they?" Zhan Wu Shang thought, maybe that Wu Ye really was an idiot?

"Anyway, we have nothing to do, let's just wait!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

The two blatantly squatted opposite the warehouse, scrutinizing the passersby, until another player appeared in front of Ying Qi's warehouse door.

This person clearly paused, then proceeded to open the door. Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wu Shang were stunned because this person was clearly not Wu Ye, not even the same class. But they didn't have time to think. Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted, "Wu Ye!" and Zhan Wu Shang had already charged forward.

This person was, of course, the former director of this city district, here to hand over the inventory to Wu Ye. He had returned from the leveling area, so he was much slower than Wu Ye, who would have used a teleport scroll from the outer city. Wu Ye had died again this time, and combining it with his previous encounters, he had realized that this was an all-out assassination attempt, and that people were setting up ambushes based on his inventory route.

From this, Wu Ye was sure that this assassination was not just a personal act by Qian Li Yi Zui and his group. If it were just players, how could they know that he was carrying out an inventory? How would they know where Ying Qi's warehouses were located and wait there in advance? This assassination clearly involved the participation of the opponent's studio, and the eighteen former directors who had resigned had very rudely sided with their new employer and revealed all the warehouse locations. Wu Ye was an insidious person, so his guesses naturally followed an insidious path, feeling that the eighteen directors were colluding to betray him and create obstacles for the inventory...

Could it be that they wanted to obstruct the inventory in this way and then swallow the goods? Wu Ye's dark personality was evident; the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became. After considering this, Wu Ye certainly wouldn't actively deliver himself to their doorstep. So, he contacted the director here in the same way he had contacted Sheng Ru Xia and asked him to make a scroll and send it to him.

Going directly to the warehouse was absolutely safe. Wu Ye was very certain of this. The warehouse's permissions absolutely forbade unauthorized access to outsiders. This was explicitly stated in the directors' contracts, and Wu Ye believed that the other party didn't have the guts to violate it. And the other party couldn't possibly do it themselves, that would be equivalent to intentionally disrupting the inventory work, which was unreasonable. After all, their relationship wasn't as reckless as the one between players in the game. This was their real life.

This director was eager to play the game and was very reluctant to have Wu Ye make such a troublesome request. But after hearing Wu Ye explain the reason, he was quite chivalrous and immediately replied to Wu Ye, "Just come, I'll see who dares to touch you on my turf!" This guy was dedicated to the game, with good levels and equipment. He mixed in the large guilds of Chak City, so he really had some influence. But when Wu Ye heard this, he was even more unwilling to go; this guy was clearly trying to make him deliver himself to be killed! So, he insisted on getting a teleport scroll directly, which was safe and fast.

"You're so troublesome!" Wu Ye couldn't finish the inventory without going there, and the director also wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible, so that he could completely break ties with Ying Qi. So, he came over to set the coordinates first, but just as he was about to open the door, Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted, and Zhan Wu Shang charged up.

The director was stunned when he heard the shout "Wu Ye," followed by the hurried and heavy footsteps behind him. This guy was also considered an expert, so he immediately judged that this was a warrior's charge. Without turning his head, he immediately dodged to the side.

"Oh, you've got some skill!" Zhan Wu Shang was a little surprised at the opponent's reaction. They all thought that these professional businessmen from the studio just casually got a character for gaming convenience, and their level would be decent if it was around twenty or thirty. Who would have thought that the person in front of him had quite a remarkable reaction and looked like he had been through battles?

Thinking this, he looked at his opponent again and realized that his equipment was really good. Yu Tian Shen Ming used his Appraisal skill and discovered that his level wasn't low.

This director was a thief; he dodged the charge, turned around, and looked at his opponents. With the eyes of someone who had seen countless pieces of equipment in the studio, he didn't even need the Appraisal skill to see that Zhan Wu Shang's equipment was also top-notch, knowing that his opponent was strong. Moreover, the assassin and warrior were close combat, and he was at a disadvantage in terms of class. And in that corner, there was a sharpshooter squatting there, his equipment also very flashy.

This director had very gaming habits and immediately sent a message for help, while solemnly saying, "Who are you people?"

"Are you the one who's coming to do inventory with Wu Ye?" Zhan Wu Shang asked straightforwardly.

The director nodded.

"With us here, you won't be able to get through this door. Go wash up and go to sleep!" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"That's not necessarily true, is it?" The director smiled. With his gaming identity, he could easily summon hundreds of people in this city. These two looked like they were very skilled, but they weren't Qian Li Yi Zui, right? This director was a gaming fanatic! He paid close attention to top experts like Qian Li Yi Zui.

Just as the director was smiling and saying this dismissively, he suddenly realized that something wasn't right! How could these two know about the inventory? Those who knew about the inventory were either from Ying Qi's side or Yun Teng's side. Their new boss also knew that they had some inventory handover work to do these days.

Of course, Ying Qi wouldn't find someone to kill Wu Ye, so wasn't it obvious where these two people who knew about the inventory came from?

The director was quick-witted and understood this act of killing Wu Ye as an instruction from the new boss. His guess wasn't wrong. Although this matter wasn't planned by Ya Xiao Suan Gen, when he heard that Han Jia Gong Zi and his group wanted to cause trouble during the inventory, he didn't stop them at all and actively provided the necessary information. He was clearly happy to see Ying Qi's inventory disrupted. Of course, he wasn't as dark as Wu Ye and didn't want to swallow Ying Qi's materials; he just wanted to paralyze Ying Qi for as long as possible by disrupting the inventory. Although talent was important, materials were the foundation. Restricting the inventory was equivalent to restricting Ying Qi's material flow. This blow was truly terrifying. Ya Xiao Suan Gen felt that just killing the inventory was not enough; he hoped that these experts could all guard Ying Qi's warehouses to the death. They would destroy Ying Qi as soon as people came, preventing them from picking up goods. If they could do this for a while, Ying Qi would really be finished...

Of course, all Ya Xiao Suan Gen could do was hope, or hint at it. He absolutely couldn't actively plan such a thing. Digging up people was okay, but using such means to do business in the game was extremely despised in their industry. Only studios that wanted to be ostracized by everyone would use such a method. But now, Ying Qi had offended someone they shouldn't have. It was true that players were using such methods to strike at them, and Ya Xiao Suan Gen was very happy. He believed that if other studios knew about it, they would be as happy as he was. Han Jia Gong Zi was definitely not someone to be trifled with... Ya Xiao Suan Gen thought, he now suspected that this guy had long planned to completely bring down Ying Qi using this method, and he might not need to hint at it at all.

"So, there is a way for players to get rid of studios through combat..." Ya Xiao Suan Gen muttered to himself after thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

The director, whose mind was racing, hesitated when he judged that this must be the meaning of the new boss. He was in this circle, so of course he knew that such methods were very improper. However, he also knew that Wu Ye, on behalf of Ying Qi, had indeed offended a group of players in the game. Perhaps this was really the behavior of game players, and the new boss was making a profit while pretending to be good and just gave them some information?

This director was really a smart person. After analyzing the pros and cons, he had completely dug up the truth. But he himself wasn't sure and, after thinking it over, sent a vague message to Ya Xiao Suan Gen, wanting to test the waters.

He racked his brains, being roundabout and roundabout again, but still expressed his meaning in the message. The reply he received from Ya Xiao Suan Gen was only four words: You decide.

The director immediately understood. You decide, what else could he do? Of course, he had to consider things from the perspective of the new boss's interests, so wasn't it simple what to do? The director immediately sent a message to Wu Ye, first a bunch of censored swear words, and finally said: "Damn it! There really are people lying in ambush, they even want to kill me, I can't get through either. What should we do? Why don't we change the time to take inventory?"

This guy was obviously making up an excuse, but Wu Ye shouted "As expected!" when he saw it. He was wholeheartedly suspicious that the other party wanted to collude to take over Ying Qi's goods. Otherwise, how could they digest so many people they had poached at once? If they suddenly had such a large amount of materials, then there would be no problem...

Poison! Truly poisonous! Wu Ye himself had conjured up a conspiracy and was sighing at its viciousness. He believed that other places must be similarly arranged. He was definitely unable to approach, and the other party would also find excuses not to provide teleport scrolls. He used to think that Sheng Ru Xia really had something to do, but now he saw that it was all a conspiracy, a naked conspiracy. It was difficult for these eighteen guys to sit online together to put on a show. Why didn't you just hide offline!

At this time, Wu Ye didn't even bother contacting the next person. He simply went offline and went to contact the online boss, Gai Shi Qi Ying, to see how to deal with this matter.

The director casually dismissed Wu Ye, and looked at Zhan Wu Shang, who seemed like he was about to slash him at any moment, and squeezed out a smile: "You two, then I'll leave first, you guys be busy."

Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming didn't know that in this short time, the other party had so many thoughts, and even Ya Xiao Suan Gen's thoughts had intervened. The two were very confused. Zhan Wu Shang scratched his head and said: "Is that Wu Ye still coming?"

"Wu Ye? He went offline, how can he come?" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left, knowing the stakes. This required those pure players to take the initiative, and the fewer people with studio identities who intervened, the better.

"Wu Ye went offline? Really?" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"I think it's a trick. He's using this method to trick us into leaving, and then sneak over," Yu Tian Shen Ming also had a little cleverness. However, this trivial matter had already been kneaded into the interests of many parties and was complicated and confusing, so his little cleverness was obviously unable to see through it. While the two were muttering, they still told everyone else about it.

"Went offline? That fast!" Han Jia Gong Zi said.

Anyone familiar with him would know that he had expected this situation. So, Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming didn't say anything, and wouldn't say anything like "pretending to go offline," that was foolish and looking to be despised.

Of course, Han Jia Gong Zi was still cautious and went to Ya Xiao Suan Gen to verify. He knew that Ya Xiao Suan Gen had a way.

Ya Xiao Suan Gen seriously supported Han Jia Gong Zi's actions in his heart, but after completely understanding the stakes, he didn't want to be too obvious. So, he laughed and said something like "He's not here, do you have anything to say? Do you want me to ask someone to deliver a message or something?"

Han Jia Gong Zi found it funny when he received his reply. When he told him to kill this person before, Ya Xiao Suan Gen was still muttering that killing people wouldn't have much impact on their studio. It seemed that he had finally understood that killing people was just a means, and the purpose was to restrict the other party's actions...

"Okay, I got it, I'll find you if I need anything," Han Jia Gong Zi, with his smart brain, wouldn't be as slow as Ya Xiao Suan Gen. He immediately understood his flowery thoughts, so he didn't proactively point out what benefits there were to doing this, because he knew that Ya Xiao Suan Gen completely understood.

Sure enough, Ya Xiao Suan Gen's reply was subtle, but full of ambiguity: "Don't be polite, just say what's on your mind, what kind of relationship do we have!"

"Of course..." Han Jia Gong Zi replied with a smile. They were just chatting through in-game messages, did they have to be so meticulous in their words? Han Jia Gong Zi wanted to despise him, but then he thought that studios were special organizations, and their impact on the game was greater than that of any top expert. Perhaps the game company was secretly monitoring them? It seemed that he should still be cautious, and private chats might not be airtight.

Han Jia Gong Zi also informed Yun Zhong Mu and the others about the situation that Wu Ye was temporarily offline. Yun Zhong Mu had already left at this time. He had established a relationship with that Sheng Ru Xia and clearly felt the effect of his coercion and enticement. He and that person had added each other as friends, and he also knew the warehouse location. Yun Zhong Mu felt that that point was relatively easy to control. So, after making a scroll coordinate, he prepared to fly back.

Although Yun Zhong Mu was the president of a large guild, he wasn't very rich. This time, using scrolls to fly around cost him dearly. Fortunately, he had that large sum of money that Qian Li Yi Zui had given him earlier, so he wouldn't be short of money soon. Constantly letting the players in the guild raise money was quite annoying. Yun Zhong Mu was glad he had this money.

Back in Cao Mang City, Han Jia Gong Zi was still at the same table in the same tavern. The only change was that there were more wine bottles in front of him.

"How much can this person actually drink?" Yun Zhong Mu, who had just had a drunken experience, admired Han Jia Gong Zi's alcohol capacity to the extreme. As for this guy sitting here without going out to work, he didn't mind at all. He sat down and asked: "Brother Han Jia, what are your thoughts next?"

Yun Zhong Mu temporarily called Han Jia Gong Zi "Brother Han Jia" because he helped him come up with ideas and hadn't made any particularly annoying remarks.

"Next... your thoughts are the key," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"What do you mean?" Yun Zhong Mu asked.

"Do you want to completely destroy Ying Qi studio?" Han Jia Gong Zi asked.

"Of course," Yun Zhong Mu said without hesitation.

"Defend those warehouses to the death, so they can't pick up their goods." Han Jia Gong Zi finally lived up to Ya Xiao Suan Gen's expectations and made this vicious suggestion.

Yun Zhong Mu's eyes immediately lit up.

"There are eighteen known warehouses, which corresponds to the number of their directors. Obviously, this is almost all of Ying Qi's materials. If we can control them, this blow will be more effective for them," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"I understand. And their people don't have any combat strength, so this seems easy to do," Yun Zhong Mu said excitedly.

"They themselves don't have any combat strength, but don't forget, they have money. If forced, they will definitely spend money to hire people to take back the warehouses. This is something they will definitely do, and we definitely can't stop them," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"We're not afraid of that! If they're strong, we'll just retreat, and if they retreat, we'll just go up. I want to see how they charge for the people they hire, by the time? Or by the hour? Hahahaha!" Yun Zhong Mu laughed loudly.

"Boss, they can make teleport scrolls after they go in once!" A brother next to Yun Zhong Mu reminded.

"Is that so? Then let them keep using scrolls, that transportation cost doesn't seem low either!" Yun Zhong Mu laughed.

"If they use teleport scrolls to slowly transfer the goods to new warehouses, we won't be able to track them," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"Is it really realistic to completely destroy Ying Qi with just this little trick?" Yun Zhong Mu said.

"So, you just want to make as much trouble for him as possible?" Han Jia Gong Zi asked.

"That's right," Yun Zhong Mu smiled.

"Then good luck," Han Jia Gong Zi smiled, "However, Ying Qi still has a immediately usable force."

"Are you talking about the Eagle Group?"

"That's right, I think they should come out soon," Han Jia Gong Zi said.
