Chapter 295: Taking Advantage of the Opportunities
When Hu Jiayao was immersed in a new understanding of himself, Yang Mingzhong lay on the ground and, as expected, received a system prompt -
[Congratulations to the contestant! You have successfully completed your most important mission! The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold. The warrior will never come back once he leaves. He explores the tiger's den and enters the dragon's palace. He looks up to the sky and exhales, and a white rainbow appears.
The road to assassination has always been lonely. Throughout history, assassins have given their all and risked everything, but they always end up in failure and have a miserable ending.
Whether or not an assassin can successfully kill the target has never been the basis for his fame in history. As long as he has the courage to act, the moment he embarks on the road of mission, he has already succeeded!
So far, you have successfully completed the most important task assigned to your faction in this dungeon. In the following period, you only need to ensure that the main task is completed smoothly to pass this dungeon.
I wish you success! 】
Looking at this entire description, Yang Mingzhong smiled with relief.
The president is right.
Yang Mingzhong made the right bet.
In the previous system's faction introduction, the description of the assassin actually contained a "narrative trick" -
[Assassin] is an evil player. Assassinating the queen is his most important mission. Before the queen dies, if the identity of [Assassin] is revealed by [Loyal Minister], it will be considered a failure.
At first glance, this description can easily lead to misunderstanding, thinking that since both are evil factions, the [Assassin] should, like the [Traitor], have to kill the Queen to win.
But that’s not the case.
The assassin's mission is indeed to assassinate the queen, but the rules do not explicitly require the assassin to kill the queen. In fact, if you break down the rule, there are only two tasks that the assassin really needs to complete:
First, he had to carry out the act of assassinating the queen, and second, he had to ensure that his identity as an assassin was not revealed by his loyal subjects.
These two tasks combined can easily be misunderstood as requiring the queen to be killed, because according to common sense, once there is a clear act of assassinating the queen, it is equivalent to exposing one's identity as an assassin. If the queen does not die, the assassin will definitely be exposed, and the assassin will undoubtedly lose.
However, in this copy, the two loyal ministers are both Yang Mingzhong's "friendly forces". They will protect Yang Mingzhong and will not expose him. This makes "killing the queen" no longer a task that Yang Mingzhong, the assassin, must complete.
That's why the president wrote in the text message to him: "Go and complete your mission. It may not affect our victory, but it will be our greatest help."
Yang Mingzhong's "assassination" itself will not affect the victory of the loyal ministers. As for the "greatest help" mentioned in the second half of the text message...
Yang Mingzhong turned his head and looked towards the door.
If he guessed correctly, he thought, he should have helped the president.
Sure enough, the man walked in from the door.
Wen Nan walked briskly, and the moment he entered the room, the white outer walls of the room seemed to tremble happily with his appearance.
Inside the room, Yoon Ji-eun got up from the ground and was about to rush towards Yang Mingzhong and Wu Qing at full speed. Hu Jiayao finally ended his self-indulgence and was about to stand in front of Wu Qing. Wu Qing covered his chest and glared in the direction of Yang Mingzhong.
The originally tense atmosphere collapsed the moment Wen Nan walked in.
Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Nan.
Yin Zhien glanced at Wen Nan, then at the two girls following behind him, and finally returned her gaze to Wen Nan. She pointed at Yang Mingzhong and began to complain: "Senior, he wants to attack Senior Sister Wu Qing!"
Hu Jiayao seemed to have seen a savior, "President, you are finally back!"
Yang Mingzhong said nothing, but just nodded towards Wen Nan, indicating that he had done everything he needed to do.
Wen Nan bypassed the three people and went straight to Wu Qing, and said, "I need to talk to Senior Sister Wu Qing alone."
After he finished speaking, Yu Shujun, who was standing at the door, said, "Please follow me to the blood donation vehicle and wait."
The words were spoken politely, and a golden light flashed in his hand, leaving no chance for the three to refuse.
When the door was closed, only Wen Nan and Wu Qing were left in the room. Wu Qing then completely let down his guard and threw himself into Wen Nan's arms. The blood from the corners of his eyes stained Wen Nan's shoulders.
Wen Nan gently touched her hair, then helped her up from in front of him, looking at her torn coat, "Are you okay?"
Wu Qing shook her head. Her whole body was like a punctured blood ball, with blood stains that had not yet dried up everywhere. The small scratch caused by Yang Mingzhong's dagger was nothing.
Raising his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his eye, Wu Qing looked up at Wen Nan, "That man just now might be an assassin. He must be dealt with before noon tomorrow, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Wen Nan shook his head, "He's not an assassin."
Wu Qing didn't understand why, at this point, her most trusted loyal minister would still defend a traitor like this. "He almost stabbed the dagger into my heart just now!"
Wen Nan nodded, "I know, I asked him to do it."
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, staring at Wen Nan with wide eyes. After a long silence, he said, "Why did you do this?"
Wen Nan looked straight at Wu Qing, "I have my own difficulties, and I can't confess to you now, but Yang Mingzhong is not in the opposing camp, you believe me, okay?"
The man had just pointed a knife at his heart, but the man in front of him made him believe that the man was not his enemy. If anyone else had said this, Wu Qing would have definitely turned against the other person and would have firmly believed that this person had colluded with the assassin and had become a traitor.
However, the man in front of him said such words, and Wu Qing had no way of turning his face.
In fact, the moment this person looked deeply into her eyes, Wu Qing completely lost her judgment as a queen and just wanted to believe the other person.
At this point, Wu Qing realized that she was too emotional and was not a competent queen at all.
She was completely conquered by this man's charm, but she just wanted to continue to fall into it and didn't want to get out of it at all.
So, in the end, Wu Qing nodded and said firmly: "I believe you."
Wen Nan chuckled, leaned down, and kissed Wu Qing on the forehead, "Thank you, my queen."
Wu Qing raised her hand and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Wen Nan's lips. She realized that she looked a little embarrassed. She glanced at the bathroom next to her and said, "The ceremony will be held at noon tomorrow. Before the ceremony, I have to confer titles on those people. I have to go there early in the morning. Tonight, I want to take a shower and clean myself up before meeting those people."
Wen Nan nodded.
Wu Qing raised his head and looked at him. "Will you stay with me? I feel at ease when you are with me."
Wen Nan thought the other party was asking him to escort him all the way to visit those NPCs, and said with a smile: "This is my job."
Unexpectedly, Wu Qing lowered his head and blushed when he heard this: "I haven't been conferred the title of Wangfu yet, so how can there be such a thing as 'my duty'?"
Wen Nan was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask something when Wu Qing grabbed his hand and pulled him into the bathroom, "Let's go, time is running out."
Wen Nan then realized that Wu Qing was talking about taking a bath, not visiting the people?
He raised his head and glanced at the ceiling. He vaguely felt that the crystal chandelier on the ceiling seemed to have formed a face, which was staring straight at him.
"No, this room may not be very convenient now..."
"What's the inconvenience? It's very nice here, the environment is clean and the facilities are complete."
Wu Qing said this, pulled Wen Nan along, and hurried into the bathroom.
…
…
Four hours later, the sky fell into the darkest stage before dawn, and even darker than the sky was Yu Shujun's face.
When Wen Nan finally came out of the couple's hotel, he was followed by Wu Qing and Guan Ailin. Their faces were redder than the other.
Several people on the blood donation vehicle came out immediately with relieved smiles on their faces.
"President, what are the arrangements next?" Hu Jiayao was so anxious that he asked the first question.
Wen Nan looked at Wu Qing, and Wu Qing briefly explained that he needed to meet with that group of NPCs first, and then lead everyone to the designated location for the ceremony.
Naturally, others had no objection.
The biggest traitor in this map is no longer here, and the evil camp is now in disarray. As the righteous camp, they only need to stick together and ensure the smooth completion of tomorrow's ceremony to end this copy.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Thinking of this, the group walked across most of the campus and arrived at the graduate dormitory, where Wu Qing settled the NPCs.
While Wu Qing was having a meeting with a group of NPCs in the dormitory, Wen Nan and Yu Shujun were leaning side by side on the guardrail outside the dormitory.
Wen Nan always felt that the aura of the person next to him was very cold, so cold that it almost froze the floor they were standing on. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Yu Shujun speak coldly: "You really know how to take advantage of every opportunity, Master."
Wen Nan smiled and asked, "The Dinghaishenzhen?"
Yu Shujun ignored the other party's joke. It was unclear whether he didn't want to pay attention or he didn't understand what the Dinghai Shenzhen was.
Wen Nan shrugged and didn't continue the topic. He took something out of his pocket and put it into Yu Shujun's hand.
Yu Shujun looked down and saw a small box that looked like lipstick in his palm, with a small crown printed on it. "This is..."
"Wu Qing gave it to me just now in the hotel." Wen Nan said.
Yu Shujun raised his hand and wanted to open the small box, but was held down by Wen Nan, "Don't open it yet, keep it and look at it at the ceremony tomorrow."
Yu Shujun frowned, looked up at Wen Nan, paused for a moment, and finally put the things away without opening them or asking any more questions. "Got it, Master."
Bang! A muffled sound came from the dormitory, like the sound of something heavy falling from the upper floor. Immediately afterwards, an NPC screamed: "Someone jumped off the building! Someone jumped off the building!"
Wen Nan and Yu Shujun looked at each other, then walked into the crowded room one after the other, pushed through the crowd, came to the window, and looked out. As expected, they saw a person face down on the ground, surrounded by blood.
"What's going on?"
"Why did someone suddenly jump off the building?"
"Was it an accident? Did he fall down accidentally?"
The crowd was in chaos. Wen Nan vaguely sensed something was wrong. He withdrew his gaze from the window and searched for Wu Qing in the room.
His sight met Wu Qing in the corner. Wu Qing smiled and shook his head at Wen Nan, "I'm fine—"
Before she could finish her sentence, a figure rushed in from the door and rushed straight towards her.
Yoon Ji-eun, who was closest to them, rushed forward in panic, and the three of them got entangled and fell to the ground at the same time.
Before the body hit the ground, a golden light flashed and held the three people steadily. The next moment, the three people were separated. Wu Qing was steadily sent to Wen Nan, and the person who suddenly rushed in was pressed against the wall by Yu Shujun, unable to move.
The man struggled violently under Yu Shujun's hand, "Why are you arresting me? Let me go, ah..."
The man had only shouted half a sentence when he was hit by a heavy object flying in from the window and fainted.
Yu Shujun loosened his hand, and the man collapsed in the corner.
Yu Shujun suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where the heavy object had just flown in, and saw a figure quickly retreating from the window.
Yu Shujun jumped out of the window and chased after the figure.
Wen Nan glanced at the direction where Yu Shujun disappeared, then led Wu Qing forward and saw Li Fang lying unconscious in the corner.
Wen Nan squatted down and checked Li Fang's condition, then turned his head and looked at Mo Yu, "Li Fang is the young master, right?"
Mo Yu was stunned.
Now that Wei Zhe is gone, Mo Yu has no obligation to keep the secret for him. On the contrary, because of the temporary control pattern, Mo Yu is now unable to hide it from Wen Nan.
So, she nodded and said, "Well, before, although she was unwilling, she was forced to work for that boss because of her duty."
Wen Nan asked again: "Besides Wei Zhe, are there any other treacherous ministers?"
Mo Yu shook his head. "I, I don't know. The boss never lets me come into contact with other people. I am only responsible for completing the tasks he has assigned me."
Wen Nan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Hu Jiayao heard the hint in Wen Nan's question and felt that he was smart for once. He said in a deep voice: "President, there may still be treacherous officials in this map that have not been cleared out? Let's go scan the map now and dig them all out!"
Wen Nan glanced at the sky which was already getting brighter, and seemed to be worried about the time.
"The ceremony starts at 12 o'clock, and there are still at least five hours. Yang Mingzhong is so good at scanning maps, it may not be too late if we act now!" Hu Jiayao argued.
Yin Zhien reminded quietly, "But the seniors just said that before the ceremony begins, these NPCs must be canonized."
Wu Qing also said: "It will take a long time to confer the title. I'm afraid we have to rush over as soon as possible."
At this time, Yu Shujun came back with a boy in her hand - Zhou Shijie.
Throwing the man to the ground, Yu Shujun placed his sword against his neck, frightening Zhou Shijie so much that he trembled and said, "Don't, don't, don't kill me! I didn't mean to knock Li Fang unconscious, it was the big boss who told me to do it!"
"Big boss? Wei Zhe?"
"No, no, it's another big boss."
"Another big boss? Who is it?"
"I, I don't know him either. He has never shown up and only issues missions at the base. Please don't kill me, don't kill me! I, I can take you to the base to meet him!"
