Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Wu Chang sent Perico into a baby-like slumber with one punch, while the battle on the other side was also coming to an end.

Miles was very timid, so if he decided to act, he would always be thoroughly prepared.

If it weren’t for Wu Chang insisting it was unnecessary, Miles would have liked to set up several Gatling guns around.

The people hidden in the darkness were three times the number of Perico and others, and their firepower was exceptionally strong.

Within a few minutes, none of the targets in the center of focus were able to stand.

Wu Chang waved to Miles, signaling him to check if there were any survivors. If there were, first see if they could be trusted, then see if they had any utility value.

He trusted Miles a lot because if there was any danger, Miles would definitely be more terrified than him.

While Miles was busy, he slowly walked to the edge of the ring, picked up the hat that had fallen on the stage, dusted it off, and put it back on Kent’s head.

The local gang was too rude, how could they knock off the boss’s hat?

Two minutes later, with a few sporadic gunshots in the background, Miles jogged over to Wu Chang’s side and said with a fawning smile:

”Boss, sorry, there are no survivors.”

Wu Chang curled his lips; Miles was even more timid than he thought, not daring to leave a single enemy.

But forget it, since Miles did all the final tasks, as long as he could solve these troubles, these little matters were up to him.

”Taking over the territory of these guys is up to you.”

”Don’t worry, boss, I’ll definitely handle it!” Miles first made a bold promise, then suddenly deflated and hesitated to speak.

Wu Chang frowned slightly, asking, ”Just say what’s on your mind, don’t wait until things are messed up before telling me.”

Miles hunched his shoulders, clasped his hands together in a timid and constrained posture, and said:

”Because the guy in our gang who was best at negotiation and persuasion was killed last night by you, uh, Kent, I need some time to invite an old friend of mine.”

”In these days, we can first reclaim the territory. Once my friend arrives, then we can approach the backers behind those leaders.”

Wu Chang displayed an impatient look, asking, ”How long will it take for your friend to come?”

Miles said, ”A week, at the latest, a week, I guarantee it!”

A week, that time was a bit too long.

He asked, ”Can’t it be faster?”

Miles offered a second plan, saying, ”It can, but it requires you to step up a few more times, demonstrating the new White Old K’s value to those backers in the most direct way.”

”With your cooperation, the boost would be greater than my old friend’s.”

Wu Chang said, ”With my cooperation, how soon can you fully gather White Old K and gain the support of the forces behind those leaders?”

Miles raised three fingers.

Wu Chang nodded, three days, that’s alright.

Miles said, ”Three weeks! Subordinates only need three weeks!”

Wu Chang: ?

So, without my involvement, you spend a week inviting people and three weeks gathering, in the Cursed Dungeon’s month, it’s only enough for me to be a gang leader, right?

Too slow.

This speed was unacceptable for Wu Chang, but he temporarily had no better solution, so he could only say:

”First, sort out the network of these people behind them, and make a plan. I’ll think of a way for the rest.”

Miles bowed his head and said, ”No problem, boss.”

Wu Chang walked slowly out of the warehouse, taking a stroll in the dock area.

Miles needed his cooperation, nothing more than to show muscle to those hidden forces and have them recognize the strength of the new White Old K.

Wu Chang had limited capacity on his own, but he could recruit other players.

He planned to visit Ding Shouzi Plaza tomorrow morning.

He went there during the day and found many players who hadn’t found jobs, idling in the square like vagrants. By calculation, tonight, if they don’t tough it out one more night, with only one margin for error left for ordinary players after deducting Willpower.

To avoid further deduction of Willpower, they will surely find a place to stay, and by tomorrow, Ding Shouzi Plaza will turn into a cheap labor market.

Recruit a few who could scare others, which would surely expedite controlling White Old K further.

Who says players can’t hire other players?

Thinking of a breakthrough method, Wu Chang felt a sense of relief; he breathed in the air mixed with sea breeze, walking alone in the dock area.

Hou Jingchuan’s strategy had also mentioned not to wander outside at night, otherwise, one might suffer attacks from strange creatures or unusual occurrences.

For ordinary players, staying indoors was undoubtedly the safest, focusing on survival.

But for Wu Chang, it was the opposite; the more dangerous the place, the more likely it was to hide the secrets of the dungeon plane. He had unlocked 10% of his Attribute suppression, eager to showcase his abilities.

Strange attacks, huh? Let me see what that’s about.

With thoughts filled with anticipating running into strange occurrences, Wu Chang suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly took out the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp.

”Item Skills: Illuminating Void.”

”Skill Description: The Four-sided Age Fire Lamp can command flames lower in level than itself and transform controlled flames into Age Fire, warding off evil and plagues, making demons retreat.”

Surrounded by Age Fire, a warmth surged in his mind, dispelling Wu Chang’s reckless impulse.

Huh.

Wu Chang exhaled a deep breath; indeed, there was some reasoning during Cursed Dungeon nights, which stealthily led him into a trap.

To probe night-time dangers, he only needed to look at the grievances of other unlucky ones; was it necessary to risk his life, proactively touching the dungeon’s taboo?

Clearly, it was the peculiar night rules exploiting a loophole, affecting his mindset.
