Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 993: Chapter 416: The Greater the Ability, the Greater the Responsibility

Hou Jingchuan heard Wu Chang’s answer and advised:

”Actually, the influence brought by the faith virus might only implicate you if you’re not discreet enough...”

He caught himself halfway through his words, abruptly stopping his persuasion.

Wu Chang agreed so straightforwardly that Hou was taken aback. Before deciding to use the faith virus, he had a general understanding of Wu Chang’s situation from Sword Star and Cold Mountain.

Not just Sword Star, even the steady and calm Cold Mountain had assured him by thumping his chest that something was definitely off with Wu Chang, that he must’ve opened something.

Indeed, Wu Chang first entered the trial dungeon just over ninety days ago.

In just three months, he went from a newcomer to the Abyssal Game to his current position as Lord Peace. If there was no issue with him, then something would be wrong with all the other Abyssal Game players.

The illicit methods Wu Chang used might not have been a problem in the past, but things are different now. Reporting the faith virus goes directly to the Abyssal Game Administrator. The Four Major Organizations have tested this many times, finding it very effective.

Isn’t Wu Chang being a bit too careless, not putting the Abyssal Game Administrator in his eyes?

He hesitated for a moment and reminded:

”Lord Peace, maybe you don’t know, but the Abyssal Game really does have administrators. Why don’t you reconsider?”

Wu Chang shook his head and said:

”A clear conscience fears no accusation. I have gotten to where I am today using all legal and compliant strategies, unlike those Evil God cultists, who use illegal methods to disrupt the balance of the Abyssal Game.”

Hou Jingchuan suddenly understood: The unbannable Peace.

It’s like a certain game, where skin-changing software is heavily cracked down upon, but when facing malicious scripts, they act as if they can’t detect it. Even if someone reports themselves using scripts with video evidence, the officials make no moves.

The two cases are just like the Evil God cultists and Wu Chang.

If they report the Evil God cultists, the Abyssal Game immediately makes heavy strikes, making the cultists tremble at hearing the faith virus.

But if they report Wu Chang, Wu Chang would just raise a middle finger, disdainfully saying, ”If it’s not banned, it’s not a cheat.”

High-level indeed.

Understanding this connection, everyone in the Management Bureau looked at Wu Chang with envy.

Wu Chang found himself in an inexplicable situation under everyone’s gaze. Ignoring their looks, he asked:

”When do I need to take the faith virus to the Realm of Reason?”

Speaking of the main matter, Hou Jingchuan said sternly:

”Transporting the faith virus can’t be too early, I’m afraid that if it stays too long in the Realm of Reason, the Bright Society will catch wind of it. But it can’t be too late either, we must give the Order Sect time to release the faith virus.”

”If possible, I hope you can transport the faith virus to the Realm of Reason three to four days before the World Dungeon begins.”

”To ensure the secrecy of the operation, the specific time is for you to decide personally.”

Wu Chang drummed his fingers on the conference table. The timing indeed coincided perfectly, just enough to escort Julie to the Realm of Reason.

He immediately agreed, ”Alright, we’ll do as you said.”

”Lastly, there’s one more thing I need to confirm: When are you planning to detonate the faith virus?”

The use of the faith virus is divided into two stages. The first stage is the dissemination of the faith virus. In this stage, the faith virus stimulates the plane’s immune mechanism, marking any actions that disturb order as violations.

Only when the timing is right will it move to the second stage, where the faith virus erupts, reporting to the Abyssal Game Administrator, attracting the suppressive force of the Abyssal Game.

If targeting ordinary Evil God cultists only, members of the Four Major Organizations from the Desolate Realm carrying the faith virus into the World Dungeon would suffice. There’s no need for Wu Chang to singlehandedly deliver the faith virus to the Realm of Reason.

Hou Jingchuan and others had also planted the faith virus in the Realm of Reason, aiming to shift the blame onto the Bright Society. As such, the timing of the detonation is crucial.

If detonation occurs too early and the Bright Society isn’t deeply involved, they can cut ties in time to avoid being implicated.

Hou Jingchuan looked at Wu Chang earnestly:

”In fact, regarding the timing of detonating the faith virus, we wish to request your intervention.”

”The fact that an S-Level near-outbreak dungeon appeared in the qualification trial indicates that the difficulty of the upcoming World Dungeon will far exceed previous ones. The dissemination of the faith virus inside the dungeon, combined with the out-of-control dungeon, will surpass our expectations.”

”As much as we’d hate to admit it, we have to say that apart from you, no one can confidently judge what is the best timing in the dungeon. There’s even no one who dares say they can survive to the best timing point.”

Hou Jingchuan stood up, and the other high-level members from the Four Major Organizations followed, all standing up together towards Wu Chang, saying:

”Lord Peace, only you have the ability to accomplish this task.”

Wu Chang: ...

Seriously, are they trying to pin this on him?

Previously, they said they needed his assistance with the faith virus, but it turned out not only for transport but also for judging timing.

He wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he held it back.

Though it seemed like they were pushing all the trouble onto him, in hindsight, this kind of high-impact weapon really made him uneasy when used by others.

First, he worried if the holder would be bought off by the Bright Society or die immediately after entering the dungeon, delaying the plan; second, as Hou Jingchuan said, the one with the detonator might not be able to hold their nerves, mistakenly pressing the report button prematurely.

He was different, his inspiration was sharp enough to notice the Bright Society’s movements, and he also had the All-Knowing Crystal to aid his judgment, making errors unlikely.
