"Has the news spread?"
Bai Qiuliang twirled the pen in his hand and casually asked the man who had just come in.
The man looked unhappy, but he still answered Bai Qiuliang's question. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, our power is rooted in the Void Trade, so the first thing to spread is the Void Trade. Later, I will gradually infiltrate the low-level transfer halls, which is expected to take two weeks."
"Two weeks."
Bai Qiuliang repeated it, then stopped the movement of his hands. The pen turned half a circle due to inertia, and the light refracted by the metal reflected into his eyes.
"Too long. Within three days, all players must be informed, including new players."
He made the final decision, ignoring the other party's embarrassed expression, and raised the corner of his lips, "Can you do it? Ban Hefeng's best deputy, spare me?"
Rao Shi's facial muscles twitched a few times, and finally he lowered his head deeply and replied in a low voice: "I know."
After getting Rao Shi's answer, Bai Qiuliang chuckled with satisfaction, "Well, you really deserve to have worked under him for so many years. You are really capable. Come and report to me in three days."
Rao Shi didn't say anything else and left the room in silence. After closing the door, he couldn't help but hold his head in his hands. If, if he had made another choice, would the situation now be completely different?
He couldn't help but empty his mind, recalling when Bai Qiuliang had just arrived at the organization. At that time, he was still the old president, and Bai Qiuliang had been suppressed. He also followed Ban Hefeng's steady progress, but Bai Qiuliang's extraordinary and rapid growth in ability still attracted the attention of the organization.
The old president believed that this must be a crooked trick and insisted on kicking Bai Qiuliang out. However, he coveted the secret of Bai Qiuliang's greatly increased strength and tried hard to persuade Ban Hefeng to keep him.
At that time, Ban Hefeng trusted himself very much. Even though he knew that his words were made up, he decided to go and give advice to the old president.
However, no one knew that the old guild leader would arrange a dungeon in a few days, together with the guild leaders of other organizations. As you can imagine, the difficulty of the dungeon will also be greatly increased according to the strength of the players. It was also during that dungeon that the old guild leader did not come out.
It is an acknowledged secret in the organization that Ban Hefeng has always been trained by the old president as his successor. But when everyone persuaded Ban Hefeng to take office, Ban Hefeng did not believe that the old president had passed away. He thought that he had killed the old president and insisted that he was just the "acting" position.
Thinking about it now, that was probably the situation that Bai Qiuliang would be very happy to see. After all, the day that Ban Hefeng didn't officially become the president, the more time he had to plan.
Rao Shi sighed and put his hat back on. What's the point of thinking about this now? Go spread the news quickly.
The forum still plays a very important role. Rao Shi walked heavily in the corridor, wondering who to ask to write a post for the forum.
There is an uncertain factor in this matter, whether the system will intervene.
Bai Qiuliang originally disagreed with him posting on the forum, but after thinking carefully, if the system did not intervene, it would prove that the hotel owner was not sent by the hotel, so they could let go of some of their actions...
System 09 naturally monitors the information on the forum at all times to prevent players from discussing ways to deal with the system, so it also saw the slander against the hotel at the first time.
System 09 was about to delete it immediately, but was stopped by the system next to him. The other party smiled and said, "09, we have agreed that no matter how much you like that human, you cannot interfere in this matter. This concerns all of us."
System 09 hesitated for a moment, "But this is a false smear."
The other party still had that smile, and the arc had not changed. "Then this is the difficulty he will face. Don't you want to know how he will solve it?"
System 09 looked at the other party for a while, then retracted his electric consciousness. "Okay, you are right. Humans cannot grow up smoothly. This is what I just read in the book they wrote."
"That's right."

More and more players are queuing up to buy items in the Intelligence Building, and the queue can even extend from the lobby inside the building to the outside. From a distance, it looks like three long black queues.
During the boring waiting time, people will rely on the only entertainment, which is posting on forums.
Now more and more players participate in the forum, the information is also varied, and there are countless people chatting about gossip in the forum, so it can be regarded as a place to kill time.
"Is the intelligence wrong?" A woman read out the information on the forum in confusion. The only place that had intelligence for sale in the game was the intelligence building where she was queuing up to buy it. It was obvious what this post was saying.
The woman looked up at the line in front of her. There were still ten people left before her turn, which would take about fifteen minutes, so she took this time to click on the post.
She didn't believe it at first because the accuracy of the information had been confirmed by someone some time ago, so she just glanced at it and wanted to close it, but she was attracted by the content.
The content of this post also mentioned a post that was popular two days ago. Although the replies below have nothing to do with the question asked by the original poster, the issue that people were arguing about at the time has a new interpretation in this post.
He Lizhou was actually pushed out by the system with the purpose of cleaning out the players. After the system was updated and upgraded, the current batch of players no longer had any reference value, so a new batch of "guinea pigs" was needed to continue new experiments.
Most of the players nowadays already have a certain ability to deal with dungeon bosses. It is very difficult for the system to eliminate the players through dungeons. For example, the recent addition of many physical fighting dungeons is one of the reasons.
But the system saw that this plan could not be implemented, so it changed its strategy. It first sent out a person to gain the player's trust, and then gave misleading information. At that time, relying on the previous trust in the innkeeper, the player naturally would not think much about it, and thus fell into the trap that the system had already set for the player.
This post even suggests that the innkeeper's identity is mysterious. He is not a player because he does not have the player panel that everyone else has. He is not one of us, so his heart must be different. Who can know what the innkeeper is thinking? Is his plan really for the players?
The post also said that I have no grudges or hatred against the inn owner, and we are not in competition with him. There is no reason to wrongly accuse the inn. I stood up for the players, and we are all of the same race.
Even though the post contained some malicious speculation about the system, it was mostly directed at the hotel. System 09 thought about it for a while and felt that this speculation did not meet the standards of other systems for blocking the post.
The woman didn't know when she couldn't help but start looking again. After finishing, she raised her head in a daze and looked at He Lizhou who was waiting for her to buy the information. She originally thought that the look in his eyes was sincere, but now it looked more and more weird, just like the BOSS in the dungeon. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said, "I won't buy it yet!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left quickly. He Lizhou called out to her twice from behind, but she didn't come back. So he was a little confused, "After waiting in line for such a long time, she actually left at this time?"
Although he was puzzled, he thought it was something more urgent, so he didn't take it seriously and continued to receive the next guest.
As they lowered their heads to retrieve the copy intelligence for the guests, more and more people in the team gave up and walked out of the intelligence building.
"Why are there fewer and fewer people coming to the hotel these past two days?"
He Lizhou looked through the recent guest registration book and compared it with the purchase records of the Intelligence Building. "Since the day before yesterday, the purchases of the Intelligence Building have dropped significantly, and the number of guests has also begun to decrease. What's the problem?"
Peng Ningyu held up her chin, also very confused, "I was wondering why there is so much leftover food recently. This has never happened before."
Because the hotel has entered a critical period recently, Rongjia has not entered the dungeon and has been staying in the hotel to meet guests' needs, so he found out about it earlier.
"I just asked about it. It seems that the forum has information that is unfavorable to us, but they dare not say it openly. The other party seems to be a very powerful organization."
Speaking of the organization, He Lizhou subconsciously glanced at Ban Hefeng. Xuan Tiancheng immediately quit, staring and slamming the table, "What do you mean! Do you suspect that we are the ones who are working together?"
He Lizhou hurriedly comforted Xuan Tiancheng, and touched the table with heartache. This was made by Uncle Cui himself, and it was not available for purchase. He Lizhou felt sorry for it. This table was not put on display in the open, but only used in the meeting room.
Ban Hefeng also patted Xuan Tiancheng, "Maybe, it's because of us."
His eyes turned cold, "Bai Qiuliang and I have had a grudge for a long time. My current situation is the best time for him to take advantage of my misfortune."
He Lizhou caught the key words and raised his eyes, "Bai Qiuliang?"
Ban Hefeng didn't expect He Lizhou to have doubts about Bai Qiuliang, but thinking of He Lizhou's experience, he felt that maybe he had seen him in the copy. Now he wanted corresponding information, so he briefly described Bai Qiuliang's appearance.
He Lizhou had never seen Bai Qiuliang before, but the name sounded familiar. Wasn't this the "villain" brother that Bai Yimei asked him to keep an eye on?
It is said that there is a natural suppression between siblings. He Lizhou couldn't help but wonder, at this time, could Bai Yimei teach her brother a lesson?
However, no matter whether the person who spread the news that was unfavorable to the inn was Bai Qiuliang or not, he also knew the news about the other party and had to tell Bai Yimei. It just so happened that Bai Yimei had not been doing any dungeons recently and stayed in the inn to rest.
He Lizhou walked to the door of Bai Yimei's room and knocked. Bai Yimei put down the cloth in her hand and stood up. "Who is it?"
He Lizhou heard the sound coming from the door and confirmed that Bai Yimei was in the room, then he breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, Bai Yimei had been brushing the dungeon non-stop, and He Lizhou could hardly catch her. Fortunately, Bai Yimei was now in the hotel.
He introduced himself, and Bai Yimei quickly opened the door. "Hello, Mr. He, what can I do for you?"
He Lizhou did not interact with her very often, and Sheng Ju was the one who interacted with her the most, so she expected something and raised her red lips slightly, "Is there any news about Bai Qiuliang?"
She had removed her makeup and looked like she was going to sleep, but she still looked very imposing without makeup. "Finally caught him. Where is he?"
He Lizhou asked Ban Hefeng in advance, but was worried that he had miscommunicated the information, so he simply brought Ban Hefeng with him and stepped aside to let Ban Hefeng show up.
Ban Hefeng had the exact same expression as Bai Yimei, "Void Trade Center, Chanyu."
