"What I want to say has nothing to do with the World Dungeon or the Managent Bureau, but concerns all of you involved in managent."
"When everyone is in the Crimson Courtyard, you must often hear soone saying behind your backs that the players of the Four Major Organizations are too complacent, having lost the sense of crisis and hunger that independent players have."
Hou Jingchuan posed as if thinking, and said, "They even invented a term for us, calling us Abyssal Civil Servants."
"As the Director of the Managent Bureau, I have always believed that maintaining everyone’s safety is not wrong. A sense of crisis and hunger are not things to be praised, but now, everything is different."
Hou Jingchuan leaned forward, getting closer to the cara, his right hand clenched into a fist, gently tapping the desk.
"Although we can be considered civil servants, and so call us Abyssal Civil Servants, everyone should understand that our true identity is as seekers on the path of evolution."
"The strength of the organization is related to every mber, yet at the sa ti irrelevant."
"Although I do not approve of Peace announcing the existence of World Dungeons recklessly, he did say sothing I agree with. That for all of you, this World Dungeon might be the only opportunity in this life to turn things around."
"Whether to seize it or not, I hope everyone makes their decision carefully."
The eting ends here, and as the screen goes dark, all mbers of the Managent Bureau receive an application form to participate in the World Dungeon.
At the sa ti, mbers of the other three major organizations have just concluded a remote eting and received a similar application form.
For a mont, mbers of the Four Major Organizations are all caught in a struggle.
Within the Wanghai Branch, the atmosphere is especially tense.
As a branch in a second-tier city, the mbers within the branch who et the requirents to open a qualifying Dungeon are limited, and most of these mbers’ combat power is mid to upper-level within the Managent Bureau.
Their strength is enough for self-protection in ordinary dungeons, but entering the True Dungeon is akin to throwing away one’s life.
Everyone was heavy-hearted, contemplating how to choose a course of action without regrets.
However, mbers who had been pre-selected and were already aware of the existence of the World Dungeon did not hesitate.
For instance, Sword Star, and also Wu Chang.
Especially Wu Chang, for soone with the title of True Walker, True Dungeons are the norm, while Projection Dungeons are sothing of legend.
The ease with which the two carried themselves starkly contrasted with the heaviness of others. To avoid disturbing others, they often stuck together recently.
Two days passed swiftly, coming to the final deadline to submit the World Dungeon application.
mbers of the Wanghai Branch were to make the biggest decision of their lives today, but for Wu Chang, there was an even more important matter waiting for him.
That was to claim the other half of his reward from Hou Jingchuan.
Previously, Hou Jingchuan, representing the Four Major Organizations, invited him to act, to enter the Cursed Dungeon and eliminate Lin Jiang, offering a price of 200,000 Rotten Silver Coins and an A-Level consumable item.
Hou Jingchuan said at the ti it would take five days to gather items from each faction and synchronize them to the Crimson Courtyard.
Today happened to be the fifth day.
He entered the Crimson Courtyard as per the schedule, going to the private room they previously t in, where Hou Jingchuan was already waiting inside.
Hou Jingchuan was straightforward. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he took Wu Chang through the business space to a temporary private space.
Inside the private space was a huge exhibition hall, similar in style to the fifth underground level of the Managent Bureau, with transparent display cabinets placed throughout.
Wu Chang roughly counted them. The number of display cabinets in the hall exceeded fifty.
He was initially shocked by this number, but after looking around, he discovered that not all of these contained A-Level consumable items; there were also many powerful A-Level items and three or four growable B-Level items.
According to Hou Jingchuan, he could exchange his reward for two A-Level items, or one growable B-Level item and one B-Level consumable item.
The Four Major Organizations thought of a comprehensive plan. For independent players, an A-Level consumable item might not necessarily be more practical than two powerful A-Level items.
But for Wu Chang, he wasn’t lacking in items, especially those below S-Level. If he opened his personal space, its value would overwhelm any single organization.
What he needed wasn’t a diocre item but a card to replace the Wooden Carving of Martial Star Monarch.
He wandered through the exhibition hall, with each display cabinet having a description board describing the item’s effect.
The simplicity of the descriptions wasn’t ant to challenge Wu Chang or increase selection difficulty, but purely for confidentiality.
The items gathered here were the treasured secrets of the Four Major Organizations, guarded even from each other despite Wu Chang’s trust level.
Wu Chang had to use inspiration to judge whether to choose based on the descriptions.
He paced the exhibition hall twice before finally stopping in front of a display cabinet.
Inside the cabinet was a liquid-like fla, and when Wu Chang gazed at it, he could see the fla’s form changing, reflecting into sothing he desired.
The description on the sign in front of the cabinet was very simple, only stating it as an A-Level consumable item, which can grant inexhaustible power for a certain period after use.
Wu Chang’s inspiration told him that this was exactly what he needed most.
He conveyed his choice to Hou Jingchuan, who proceeded with formalities to transfer ownership of the item to Wu Chang.
The origin of this item seed to be the Managent Bureau. During the formalities, Hou Jingchuan’s face tightened, as if struggling to contain sothing before letting out a sigh and saying to Wu Chang:
