Chapter 123 Hot-Blooded Company (11)

When Lao Cheng returned to the dormitory last night, he opened the system panel and carefully reviewed the summary of the copy.

He found an investigation invitation in the character's mailbox, which stated the investigation commission.

Since the copy has not yet clearly defined the conditions for passing it, Lao Cheng speculates that perhaps he can only pass it after finding loyal employees for Mr. Nao and receiving commissions.

Then the number of people who receive commissions is extremely important.

Nao Zong looked at the man in front of him, was silent for a moment, then revealed the cold smile of a capitalist: "Of course, whoever finds it first gets it. Why should others share the fruits of this person's labor?"

When Lao Cheng heard this, his expression froze subtly. After a moment, he raised his lips again and said, "I understand. I will strive to be the first to give you the results of the investigation."

After saying that, he bowed again, took a few steps back, turned around and left Mr. Nao's office.

It's confirmed that only one person can successfully complete this copy.

Lao Cheng was not happy with this conclusion.

It wasn't that he had truly changed after experiencing "Infernal Hell" and couldn't bear to see others die. It was just that Liu Tang and Mo Qianhe were in this instance, and he wasn't entirely sure he could ride away without being restrained by them.

At this time, in the other elevator going up, there were only five people: Feng's father and daughter, Liu Tang, Mo Qianhe and Min Liang.

Feng Xiansu asked her father unwillingly, "Are we just going to let that ungrateful Xian Hai off so easily?"

Feng Wenbai looked at his daughter and said, "It's not about letting him go, it's about letting ourselves go.

"Continuing to pester him will do no good except increasing my negative rating.

"He suffered so much in the '18th level of Hell' that he avenged our anger.

"Also, although he's weak, there's no telling what he might do if pushed to the limit. Less trouble is worse than more. The most important thing is that we get through safely."

Feng Xiansu listened to her father's words. Although she did not completely agree with him, she thought about her current relationship with Song Xiaoyan and decided not to say anything more hypocritical.

Xian Hai came out of the third elevator and finally arrived at his workstation, but found that Lao Cheng was not there.

Only after he turned on his equipment and began to pretend to work did Lao Cheng walk steadily to his workstation and turn on the equipment. This man had obviously just arrived.

Xian Hai was a little puzzled. Lao Cheng had clearly gone upstairs before him, so why was he later than him?

But he had just experienced the death of He Miao, and knew that Lao Cheng played a role in pushing the matter. He also realized that this person was not as easy to get along with as he appeared when he first entered the dungeon, so he did not dare to ask him the reason rashly.

Xian Hai was working absent-mindedly, unable to figure out the problem no matter how hard he tried. So he hesitated for a while and sent a message to Feng Wenbai.

Although Feng Wenbai said that they would go their separate ways from now on, Xian Hai felt that if even he knew that he was being used by Lao Cheng, Feng Wenbai should know it too.

Whether in business or in life, there are no eternal enemies. Now that they have a common enemy, they can perhaps be considered "friends" to a certain extent.

He didn't understand the personalities of other players, but Xian Hai understood Feng Wenbai's personality.

Since he can even swallow the revenge of losing his life, the other party shouldn't mind more cooperation.

Feng Wenbai, who was tidying up his workstation at the moment, received a message from Xian Hai:

"Mr. Feng, when I arrived at my workstation, Lao Cheng wasn't there. He arrived at the office later than me. I think there's something wrong."

Feng Wenbai received the message and replied with three words: "Got it."

I ignored him.

This made Xian Hai even more anxious.

Due to the effect of "scapegoat", the consciousness of all NPCs was modified, and they believed that He Miao was the one who was fired, so He Miao's workstation should be cleaned up at this time.

Feng Wenbai tried his best to act normal as he collected all the personal belongings on her desk, threw them away, and exchanged their office equipment to prevent Miss Chang from investigating and discovering the truth. Only then did he clear up the hidden danger.

He thought about it and felt that the information shared by Xian Hai was of some value, so he created a temporary small group of dungeon players, which only included the five people who had just taken the elevator together, and shared the information with them.

Although Xian Hai told Feng Wenbai this information, Feng Wenbai was not so kind. He did not want to discuss the specific information with the accomplice who killed him, nor did he have the intention to win over the other party.

Min Liang had already put on his work clothes and started working on the assembly line. It was not convenient for him to send messages, so he could only stare at the system panel and watch others discuss.

Feng Xiansu replied first: "Where do you think Lao Cheng went? I didn't see him at the Security Department."

Mo Qianhe typed, "Now the only departments that need further investigation are the purchasing department where he works and the security department where Ms. Feng works.

"Obviously, he didn't go to the purchasing department, nor did he go to the security department where Ms. Feng is. So the only option is..."

Liu Tang popped up a message: "We're still unsure how to get through. He must have gone to see Nao Zong to get some useful information."

Feng Xiansu: "It seems that he is not going to share the new information with us."

Mo Qianhe: "Oh, he really hasn't changed at all. His true colors were revealed as soon as he left 'Infernal Hell'."

Liu Tang thought for a moment and replied, "His actions have already told us the answer."

Min Liang was a little surprised to see this message, and he really wanted to ask what the other party had told them.

Fortunately, Liu Tang didn't keep the secret and answered directly: "He probably wants to confirm his previous hypothesis, that is, after finding a loyal executive, can he clear the level for just one player, or for all players.

"If it was all players, he could have just told us generously, since there's no conflict of interest. Since he didn't tell us..."

Everyone understood.

Since he didn't say it, it means that Lao Cheng has already determined that only one player can pass the level.

The group fell silent.

Feng Wenbai instructed his daughter: "Continue the investigation and talk about it after the results come out."

No one spoke anymore.

After Liu Tang handed the PPT he made yesterday to Ms. Heart, Ms. Heart pointed out a lot of problems with his PPT, but praised him for his good data summary.

At this time, Liu Tang was revising the PPT according to Ms. Xin's request, but he was thinking:

Is this really the way to clear the dungeon?

According to his understanding of the "18th Level of Hell", the copy should not have such harsh conditions for passing it.

Could it be that because Mo Qianhe’s points were approaching nine thousand, he was able to draw a copy of this difficulty?

In the purchasing department's office, Lao Cheng suddenly came up to Xian Hai, who was daydreaming, and scared him.

Lao Cheng looked at Xian Hai sincerely and said, "You should have noticed just now that I arrived at the office later than you."

Xian Hai observed the other person's expression, unable to see through his thoughts, and only felt that this person was extremely terrifying.

He thought there was no way to get around this question, so he stammered, "Yes, yes. But Brother Cheng, it's your freedom to go wherever you want. I won't and have no right to ask."

Lao Cheng curled his lips and thought to himself that this man was indeed a seasoned veteran and sensible.

So he continued, “I went to see Mr. Brain.”

Xian Hai didn't expect the other party to say the answer directly. Caught off guard, he said reflexively, "Yes, is that so?"

In this situation, Xian Hai understood that the other party seemed to want to share information with him.

But he didn't know whether the other party's sharing was another new trap, and he didn't dare to ask or listen.

Seeing that the man was frightened, Lao Cheng felt even more delighted and said, "Boss Nao told me that after we find loyal employees, we can get commissions. However, only people in the same department can get it together; no one else can get it."

"I guess getting a commission here means 'clearing the game'."

Xian Hai widened his eyes.

What this means is that only people from the same department can pass the test together.

In other words, if he wants to pass the level, he cannot cooperate with players from other departments, but can only cooperate with Lao Cheng.

This situation made Xian Hai even more frightened.

It was as if he was forced to be tied to the same boat with a demon.

Although this shows that his interests are converging with Lao Cheng's, how can he judge whether what the other party says is true?

The only thing he was sure of was that he must not let Lao Cheng know that he had told others about his late arrival at work.

Otherwise, this devil might kick him off the boat at any time and let him die in the sea of fire.

Thinking of this, Xian Hai sweated even more.

"So, we have to work together. Now our department has formed a competitive relationship with other departments, and we must get the answer before other departments find out." Lao Cheng continued.

Xian Hai nodded, undecided for a moment whether to tell Feng Wenbai these words and ask Feng Wenbai for help.

Lao Cheng seemed to see through his thoughts and said casually, "The group seems very quiet today."

Xian Hai was stunned for a moment, then opened the temporary group of players in the dungeon and found that there had been no new messages in the group since He Miao's accident this morning.

Compared to yesterday when everyone shared a message from time to time, the group seemed too quiet today.

However, there are only two departments to be investigated today, one of which is the purchasing department where he works. It is possible that there is no new information to share if there is no progress.

Xian Hai comforted himself.

Then Lao Cheng continued, "I don't know if there's really no information to share, or if they've created another group?"

Xian Hai's heart tightened.

He also knew during his lifetime that his employees would create some groups without the leader present and curse him together in the group.

Now in the dungeon, it is not impossible for such a situation to occur again.

Considering the other party's indifferent reaction after he shared information with Feng Wenbai before, Xian Hai believed that this situation was very likely to have occurred.

Why were they ostracizing him? Was it because of his old grudge against Feng Wenbai? Or was it because he was a newcomer who knew nothing?

Yes, this place is just like the society, it is extremely cruel and realistic, and players only like to cooperate with powerful players.

After hearing Lao Cheng's words, Xian Hai's train of thought was completely distracted. He had begun to believe that he had to hold on to Lao Cheng tightly in order to pass the level.

The bald man swallowed his saliva. Although he was still very afraid of Lao Cheng, he had decided to cooperate with him.

He tried to calm himself down and said, "Brother Cheng, what do you want me to do?"

A smile from the heart finally appeared on Lao Cheng's face.

He pulled out a tool called "Full Disk Copy" from his system backpack, handed it to Xian Hai, and said, "I need you to use this tool to copy all the data from Mr. Wei's devices for me."

Xian Hai looked at the flash drive-like prop in front of him curiously and found it somewhat novel.

Lao Cheng explained, "This item only works when you're within one meter of the person being copied. I'll go find Mr. Wei in a moment, using the excuse of reporting information. You stay with me. While I'm reporting to attract his attention, use the item on him and copy all the information."

"Do you understand?"
