Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 411: Chapter 222: No Demand? Then Create Demand

At ten in the evening, Wu Chang left his workstation early to go home and rest, following Sean’s habit.

When he left the office, the entire building was brightly lit. Apart from the employees out on business trips, even the cleaners were voluntarily working overtime.

In Sean’s memory, more than half of the employees at Hymn Company finished work after four o’clock, went back to the dorm for a shower, slept for three hours, and by eight o’clock the next morning, they would arrive at work with a cup of concentrated black coffee in hand.

A smaller portion of the staff worked in outward positions, either traveling on business trips or on the road for business.

There were no more than twenty people like him who left the company before midnight.

Overtime to this extent was not a company mandate but rather something employees themselves gradually pushed toward.

At Hymn Company, apart from Sean, whom Wu Chang had possessed, all employees from Level One to Level Eight were treated equally.

Your position, power, and salary were all earned by yourself.

Hymn Company’s promotion system resulted in the highest sudden death rate in the entire Federation and the highest average salary in the Federation.

Even for the same job, whether it be cleaning, Hymn Company offered a salary more than five times the industry average.

But Sean, whom Wu Chang possessed, was different; he never joined the grind.

It’s not because he didn’t like money or relied on the fact that he was the chairman’s cousin to act recklessly, but purely because he opted for a laidback lifestyle.

When he got home, aside from sleeping, he spent time gardening, playing with cats and walking dogs.

This was akin to entering early retirement.

Beep.

”Welcome home, Mr. Sean.”

As the electronic lock was successfully recognized, the fully automated defense system around Sean’s residence was deactivated, and the door automatically opened.

According to Sean’s memory, once he stepped in, three dogs he kept should come rushing towards him, but today, the room was unusually quiet.

Before he could hurry out of the room, a voice came from the shadows behind the door.

”Come inside, no tricks.”

Wu Chang’s retreating footsteps halted, hesitated for a moment, and then he continued stepping into the room.

As soon as he entered, the door closed behind him.

”Don’t turn around, keep walking inside,” the person holding him hostage continued to issue commands.

Wu Chang continued walking, passed through the entryway, and went straight into the living room.

Then he saw two shirtless men on the sofa bandaging each other’s wounds, while a short-haired woman was watchfully gazing at him.

One of the men, wearing a bandana, said:

”Brother Nameless, I didn’t expect you to actually catch a high-ranking official at Hymn Company.”

The True Self holding Wu Chang hostage said matter-of-factly, ”It’s no big deal.”

Of course it was no big deal, after all, holding himself hostage couldn’t be difficult.

Veronica looked at Wu Chang’s real self, leaned close to the True Self, and whispered:

”I just searched the room. He seems to be a high-ranking official at Hymn Company, with a seemingly high position. How are you planning to make him cooperate?”

After personally witnessing Nameless confirm the target, use the Invisibility Skill to pass through multiple defenses, and easily pry open the door, the three members of the Four Major Organizations were already eighty percent convinced by Nameless’ earlier claim of getting them Hymn Company employee identities.

Right now, the three of them were entirely listening to Wu Chang’s instructions, afraid of mishandling and ruining Wu Chang’s plan.

The high-tech weaponry of Hymn Company truly was advanced, to the point where even Elite Stealth was left exposed before it.

Especially Sean’s house, as the manager of the fully automated defense systems division and Schultz’s cousin, Sean’s house boasted the highest security system from Hymn Company.

If it were someone else attempting to infiltrate the way Wu Chang did, even if they weren’t shot full of holes, they would now be on a citywide manhunt.

The reason Wu Chang’s True Self could succeed was simple: the real body had remotely put him on the whitelist.

Feigning calmness, Wu Chang’s real self asked, ”What do you want? I am a Level Eight employee of Hymn Company. Aren’t you afraid of being wanted by the entire Federation after attacking me?”

The True Self nonchalantly replied, ”We are looking for a job.”

Wu Chang’s real self furrowed his brows, speaking with sarcasm, ”Do I have the option to refuse in this situation? But even if I give you a job, would you really dare to come?”

The True Self said, ”The fact that we could infiltrate your house already proves our capability. I’ve heard that competition within Hymn Company is fierce; to surpass competitors, you don’t necessarily have to stay within the company. If you need, our abilities can serve as your weapon.”

With these words, the real body fell into contemplation.

What followed was a self-directed scene by Wu Chang.

In Booker and the others’ eyes, Nameless seemed like a mind-reading demon, accurately sensing the psychological shifts of the executive before him, with every sentence affecting the opponent’s emotions.

Under Nameless’s provocative words, the executive initially refused, then became tempted, followed by worry, finally turning greedy and excited.

In just over ten minutes, both parties reached an agreement.

Nameless, Booker, Colton, and Veronica would take orders solely from Sean, doing things for him behind the scenes that couldn’t be seen in light.

In return, Sean would provide them with employee identities and promised to soon arrange placements in lucrative departments, ensuring their promotion to Level Three employees within a month.

After all was said and done, Booker and the others were in awe of Nameless.

No wonder he was able to reach this stage as a player of the stealth genre; when it came to dungeon strategies, they certainly were the professionals.

Once negotiations were settled, Wu Chang’s true self arranged a temporary residence for them and lent the Healing Pods at his home to Booker and Colton for recovery.
