Chapter 263: Mysterious Data Core
Seeing the two being so sensible and cooperative, Wu Xian couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.
Before he could speak, the two began to “report” the whole incident to him truthfully, as well as the situation on Wang Zhi’s side.
“We are just making a living at the Divine Dog Club, intimidated by that old dog’s power, so we came to put on a show,” the two took turns explaining their grievances, “We really had no intention of targeting you.”
“Please, Lord, don’t hold our mistakes against us and spare our lives.”
Wu Xian felt inwardly amused, “You two doing this has left me at a loss.”
“Look at what you’re saying, if our family weren’t in the provincial city and had to watch that old dog’s face, who would want to go be a dog with him?”
“Be a dog?” Wu Xian was stunned: “You already knew?”
“Not just knew, he laid it all out directly to us.” The two grumbled and vented, “This sanction on Yaoyang City is just to show us the energy of the upper layer lords.
These days they’ve been waiting for you to kneel and beg for mercy.”
“So that’s how it is.” Wu Xian suddenly understood, “What about now?”
“They’re in an awkward spot,” the two said with schadenfreude, “They even said the spots to be dogs for the upper layer lords are limited, not just anyone who wants can get them.”
Wu Xian listened and wanted to laugh more and more, “Do all the people in your Divine Dog Club think this way?”
“Not to that extent,” the two thought and said: “I see quite a few are tempted, especially those with some family background, they all seem to value this opportunity quite a bit.”
“You two aren’t tempted?” Wu Xian asked with a smile.
“Tempted my ass, rushing to be someone’s dog, are you sick!” The two said irritably: “To be honest, the two of us have already been secretly seeking transfers, but we’re not any great players, just decent at being used as dogs, and haven’t found a suitable new home.”
Wu Xian’s eyes flickered slightly, “How about… coming to try out at our Underworld Club?”
“Ah?” The two looked at each other in shock, “This… is it appropriate?”
The two were very self-aware of their own abilities; being in the Gold Tier League now was entirely thanks to the Divine Dog Club.
Their actual abilities didn’t reach Gold Tier League level at all.
“How is it inappropriate?” Wu Xian laughed: “But you’ll need to stay undercover at the Divine Dog Club for now and provide me with some useful intelligence.”
Hearing this, the two fell into hesitation and conflict.
After all, they were just making a living; if exposed, they couldn’t withstand Wang Zhi that old dog’s methods.
“You two are good at using dog-type scroll paintings, right?” Wu Xian said unhurriedly: “What do you think of my Golden Divine Dog?”
“Strong!” The two blurted out.
“As long as you two are willing to cooperate, once it’s done, you’ll own that Golden Divine Dog.” Wu Xian continued: “Additionally, I will provide you two with some life-saving means to ensure your safety.”
“Re…really?” The two were faintly moved.
After some thought, Wu Xian took out a pair of Gold Scroll Day Roaming God and Night Roaming God; these two Gold Scrolls were undoubtedly “spy” tools, able to monitor and scout secretly while also escaping to safety.
But before “lending” them to the two, Wu Xian still used a Copyright Imprint to make some arrangements, in case they suddenly defected.
He handed the two Gold Scrolls to them and briefly introduced the powerful abilities of the Day and Night Roaming Gods.
“I’ve shown my sincerity to you two; what do you think?”
The two looked at each other excitedly, breathing rapidly.
Then they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, on the spot pulling off a “if the public doesn’t mind, we wish to acknowledge as righteous father” move.
Thus, the two “spies” were successfully turned, and Wu Xian learned their names: Liu Ze and Zhang Cheng.
“By the way, besides collecting various dog-type talents, has the Wang Family done anything special with the Divine Dog Club?” Wu Xian probed.
“There really is,” Zhang Cheng’s eyes flickered as he said: “That old dog often has us go to various otherworlds to collect some strange things, I don’t know what they’re for.”
“Strange things?” Wu Xian took out that Data Core, “Is it this thing?”
“Yes yes yes, it’s this thing,” Liu Ze nodded: “But this is just one of them, there are other weird things too.”
Wu Xian understood, “Alright, you can go back now; just report truthfully and claim credit.”
The existence of the Earth Temple Farm definitely couldn’t be hidden; the key was the Earth Temple’s characteristic of collecting incense and faith.
“Yes, Lord.”
“Oh right, for any similar collection missions later, remember to share them over.” Wu Xian reminded.
“No problem.”
…
After sending off Liu Ze and Zhang Cheng, Wu Xian curiously examined the Data Core in his hand.
After some thought, he headed to the association to see if there were any professional talents who could crack the data inside.
Unfortunately, the association side also seemed unable to handle this thing.
“Where did you get this thing from?” Cui Wenxuan, who rushed over upon hearing the news, looked curious.
“Snatched it from the Divine Dog Club.”
Wu Xian briefly explained the origin of this Data Core.
“Things the Wang Family is secretly collecting?” Cui Wenxuan’s expression instantly turned serious: “You few can’t do it?”
The several association elders specialized in the Mechanical System nearby sighed and shook their heads lightly.
“This core’s structure is incredibly precise; not just us, even the industry experts at the Mechanical Dojo might not be able to crack the data inside intact.”
“So advanced?” Cui Wenxuan was secretly surprised, “Could it be from the upper layer?”
The more this was the case, the more he wanted to figure out what was hidden inside.
“Little Wu, go ask that girl from the Tang Family,” Cui Wenxuan thought and said: “I’ll go ask my old pals to see if anyone can crack this thing.”
Leaving the association, Wu Xian went straight to the club side.
He obviously had Tang Beng take a look.
“Such an advanced mechanical structure!” Tang Beng was secretly shocked, “Absolutely the creation of a top-tier mechanical master.”
“Can it be cracked?” Wu Xian asked.
“I can try, but it’ll take quite some time.” Tang Beng thought and analyzed: “There’s basically no hope cracking it with orthodox Mechanical Principles, but with our new mechanical theory, in theory we can bypass some of the restrictions.”
“Then I’ll leave it to Brother Tang.” Wu Xian was both surprised and delighted.
“No need to be polite~!”
Tang Beng waved his hand with a smile; he himself was also full of interest in this Data Core and immediately dove in to study it.
Wu Xian then went to the Network Department to inspect the progress of the 【Four Seas Dragon Palace】 card pool.
After learning that the basic program was already written, he directly brought out his Natal God of Wealth and gave the entire gacha program a wave of Aura of Wealth optimization.
With the Three Gods Version update now, Endless Sea Region monster strength greatly increased, it was undoubtedly the best time to release the Four Seas Dragon Palace card pool.
The only headache was: the series of troubles caused by the Intercity Space Channel blockade.
Now, various logistics and trade were seriously affected; local orders were fine, but out-of-town orders were hard to ship.
“I don’t know when the Intercity Space Channel will be unsealed.”
The authorities side also had no definite word, and online it was widespread criticism; quite a few little bosses and individual operators had gone bankrupt directly because of it.
At the club reception area, there was a batch of players holding gacha atlases coming for interviews.
Among them were two young people holding Gold Scroll Qualifications; though they temporarily couldn’t gather the materials for Gold Scrolls, after joining the club, their income would naturally rise.
“Brother Wu, something seems to have happened at the art studio!”
Zhou Qi hurried over in a rush.
“Art studio?” Wu Xian’s expression was odd, “What could happen at the art studio?”
“The situation is very strange, can’t explain in one or two sentences,” Zhou Qi grimaced: “This morning when I went to the art studio to look up some information, I felt something off, like Evil God Followers causing trouble.”
