Wu Chang blinked. Although in his eyes, aside from the Hidden Class, other classes were useless as trash, even within the Four Major Organizations, a Gold Class was a rare and valuable asset.
The Wanghai Branch actually has two?
"Does our bureau have such good stuff?"
Director Gao proudly said, "Our bureau may be small, but thanks to the forr chief’s strength, we’ve obtained a significant treasure. Every ti it performs, it earns considerable fees. In fact, our foundation is stronger than so first-tier cities."
Wu Chang said, "A Gold Class is so precious, is it appropriate to grant it to ?"
Director Gao dismissed, "Whether it’s appropriate or not is up to to decide, right? You’ve contributed to Wanghai City, and just your willingness to join makes you suitable. No one is more suitable than you."
Lei Huo beside him said, "I think the sa. If anyone has an issue, they’re welco to discuss it with us."
With both the director and vice director of the Wanghai Branch agreeing, it’s unlikely anyone would voice an opposition.
Seeing their attitude, it’s impossible for Wu Chang not to react at all.
The upper echelons of the Four Major Organizations might be plotting so unknown conspiracy, making Wu Chang distrustful and vigilant towards them.
But he holds high regard for the various subordinate branches at the bottom level, especially the Wanghai Branch, having observed their work recently.
Without them, even without the Painter’s guidance, wild Transcendents could turn Wanghai City upside down.
Wu Chang paused for a mont and pretended to say hesitantly,
"Thank you, Directors, but there’s no need. The class I obtained suits very well, not inferior to a Gold Class."
Director Gao squinted, showing disbelief. A Gold Class isn’t sothing you just stumble upon, not even a strong player like Sword Star, who exceeds the current level of the instance, is guaranteed to obtain it.
"Wu Chang, this isn’t a ti to show off. Opportunities to benefit from the bureau don’t co often. If you think it’s inappropriate, consider it as owing the bureau a Gold Class, and make up for it once you’ve grown."
Wu Chang insisted, "I’m really not showing off. By coincidence in my last instance, I activated a hidden quest, and the class item I got is in the direction of Inspiration and Spiritual Power. It’s versatile, and I’m satisfied."
Director Gao was about to persuade more when Sword Star interjected,
"What Wu Chang says is true; he is indeed satisfied with his class."
With Sword Star vouching for him, Director Gao had no choice but to believe. He looked at Wu Chang and smiled, "They say survival players are unlucky and prone to crises, but you’ve had a stroke of luck."
"Even though you say no need, my offer stands. If you change your mind, you can co to anyti."
Wu Chang nodded, saying, "I will."
He looked at everyone, took out a horn, and said, "Thanks to my class ability, I can temporarily resist the darkness on the island. I’m going to lure the monsters in the darkness now. The horn I have can make people regain clarity, so the monster can’t confuse ."
"If I find I cannot defeat the monster, I’ll blow the horn to signal for help. Then you can charge out with the Night Traveling Lamp."
Wu Chang risked himself as bait, but the others had no better plan, so they urged Wu Chang to be extrely careful, as long as there’s life, there’s hope. If necessary, they could hide at the research station for seven days until the ship arrives to take them away.
Wu Chang made a asured gesture, brewing for a mont in front of the mirror, then imitating the vacant look of a player lost in resentnt, he staggeringly walked into the darkness.
About fifty ters from the research station, he imitated the aura of the vortex mark erupting, causing the mark on his chest to glow red.
A dozen seconds later, he felt eyes watching him from the darkness.
Feigning as if lost, he waited for them to take the bait.
After about two minutes, the figure in the darkness finally couldn’t resist, approaching him.
Wu Chang could see the person clearly, it was the missing Fujita Hideyuki. Seeing him in person was much clearer than through resentnt.
Fujita Hideyuki was just an ordinary person, at least from Wells’s mory and Johnson’s description, he had no extraordinary power. But now, living in the darkness of Night Island, possessing the power to beguile, Wu Chang couldn’t help but wonder – what price did he pay?
The cost was that Fujita Hideyuki’s body beca highly mutated; gills appeared on his neck, his eyes turned like fish eyes, emitting an eerie light, and his exposed skin grew scales.
Though he hadn’t grown a fish head, his transformation into a rman was far more advanced than the research team mbers suspended in the underground space.
As he neared within five ters of Wu Chang, he reached forward, his arm extending like a soft creature, stretching nearly four ters. At its extre length, a slit opened in his palm, from which a white bone spike, coated in mucus and black venom, slowly aid at Wu Chang’s vortex mark.
"This kid is really cautious."
Although Fujita Hideyuki’s bone spike couldn’t break through Wu Chang’s defense, he didn’t plan on letting that thing poke him.
Just as the bone spike was about to pierce him, he grasped it firmly and looked up at Fujita Hideyuki.
"Mr. Fujita, I’ve caught you."
Fujita Hideyuki’s face showed panic, like a lizard sacrificing its tail to save itself, he willingly detached the elongated arm and turned to flee.
"Too late."
A nondescript button on Wu Chang’s shirt lit up, releasing an invisible shockwave toward Fujita Hideyuki.
"Item Skill: Spiritual Control"
"Skill Description: Releases a spiritual attack on the target. The strength of the attack depends on the user’s Inspiration. If it breaches the target’s Will Barrier, the target is completely controlled."
With Wu Chang’s high Inspiration, Fujita Hideyuki’s Will Barrier shattered at a touch, leaving him motionless, as if hit by the Body Stabilization Technique.
Monts later, the eerie light in his fish eyes dimd; he stiffly returned to Wu Chang and bowed, saying:
"Fujita Hideyuki is willing to serve you."
