I, the public enemy

Chapter 28 A Hot Afternoon

Mercury Group has invested funds in various high schools and universities in Cangzhou, donated Mewtwo helmets, supported teaching staff, or directly transferred money to corporate accounts.

Not only can it curry favor with the local state government, but it can also establish strategic partnerships with major education companies. The subsequent hidden returns can be achieved by supplying the group with more lifetime contract workers and high-end jobs.

Every year, competitions are organized for high schools and universities to determine the proportion of investment allocated to each school and to directly select talent.

The friendly match didn't start until 2 PM.

The students who had finished their visit had already returned to Yuanyue to continue their studies.

The homeroom teacher of Class 3, Grade 12 secured two reserve spots, and Liu Ziwen and Wang Qing will compete as reserve players.

Free time at noon.

At this moment, the students from Yuanyue University, led by the finance director, were resting and recuperating in a coffee shop.

There are nine people in total.

The friendly matches are divided into individual matches and team matches.

It will still be played according to esports rules, but there will be no champion or runner-up rankings, and no group elimination. It will just be a friendly match, a friendly competition, and if you lose, you can play again. It's a casual party atmosphere.

Well known.

The most undisciplined are the most ruthless. The hidden rules are related to large investments and one's own future. Are you kidding me?

As per usual practice.

It's a contest to defend one's title; the winner takes all, and only the one who stands at the end can lead the resurgence.

Only under these rules can the strongest be selected. If you are not convinced, you can fight until everyone is convinced. Every year, there are students who are noticed by the higher-ups of Mercury Heavy Industry in friendly matches and they want to take them on as apprentices.

Most of the students in the coffee shop were very nervous.

Five of the students are members of the school's virtual reality game club, and two others are genuine high achievers. In the last senior year monthly exam, one ranked seventh and the other ranked fifth, and they are also quite proficient in virtual reality.

The last two.

Liu Ziwen wasn't nervous at all. The afternoon was no longer a question without suspense. Not to mention the students, even the employees of Mercury Group were no match for him. He could easily crush any fishermen who came to the virtual world to fry fish. Wang Qing was like a martial arts immortal possessed by his mother.

Liu Ziwen took a sip of coffee and looked to see what the main character of the afternoon was doing.

"Oh, this..."

Liu Ziwen didn't know whether Wang Qing was purely innocent or purely disgusting.

Wang Qing was watching videos of beautiful women using oscilloscope chains that were rubbing against each other.

With a strong sense of combativeness, I headed straight to the comments section and, sure enough, I saw a comment like this: "Sister, I also bought one, but I'm so clumsy. Can you DM me and teach me how to wear it?"

Wang Qing replied immediately.

My previous account got banned, so please send me this one.

My phone immediately started buzzing with likes and comments like, "Wow, there's a second level!"

Liu Ziwen was still spying on the screen.

Ling Lan, who was in Leizhou at the time, sent a message to Wang Qing after finishing her duty.

[DOKIX2: Help me rank up this afternoon.]

[DOKIX3: No time.]

【DOKIX2: Transfer 100 to me, I want to drink milk tea, brother, [delicious emoji]】

Wang Qing was already getting annoyed by this private man with the licking lips and bean-like face.

I found a screenshot from the emoji library that was practically a nuclear bomb, searched for its text content, and copied and pasted it.

[DOKIX3: In the next ten years, Heaven will definitely arrest all the women, and every adult male will be able to pick ten beautiful women to take home. Then, will anyone still look down on me? They'll all be vying to give me sons. I'll choose you then.]

After sending this message.

The devastating blow rendered Ling Lan completely silent.

Ling Lan, who had just returned to her dormitory at the military base, saw this message and her pupils dilated in shock. She was so angry she could barely speak! It was like her lower body was giving her lower body's mother lung care, fucking suffocating her!

Is this guy a cyberpsychotic or something?

Ling Lan suspected that her surfing skills were not high enough, so she immediately searched for the keywords of this text on a short video app and found the source.

But Wang Qing left her speechless. She turned off her phone screen. Anyone with a weak constitution would get a fever for three days after reading this. He really had her under her skin.

I've decided that when I get a vacation, I'll definitely fly to Cangzhou to see what kind of amazing person this Brother Qing is!

D-jie stopped replying.

Wang Qing felt a little relieved.

"Me, my, hair?"

Liu Ziwen held his head in his hands, "I'm just curious how you managed to keep it so calm and send those messages without any expression."

"114514".

Wang Qing then brought up the mysterious code that Liu Ziwen didn't understand at all.

To prevent Liu Ziwen from continuing to spy on him, Wang Qing turned to the side, planning to massacre the southern district soon. He first sent Yuan Jingang and his men to scout the area and switch Fetion accounts.

[USER: Their business has taken market share from the Spider Gang. Investigate their operations, key locations, and the identity of their leaders during this period.]

Yuan Jingang usually replies instantly, and at the latest within a minute.

[Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze: Received.]

[USER: Rent three more cold storage units, settle the payment together with the helmet costs. Open a public account; accounting will be required after the expansion.]

[Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze: Received.]

Switch back to the original Fetion.

The original owner was also a figure of the level of a widowed king. The only people she could contact were her older sister, Wang Meng, her class group, and the Yuanyue Spirit Vein group. That was it.

The only other contact I added was a Counter-Strike player yesterday.

Yuan Yue's finance director, who was leading nine students, got a little annoyed when he saw the two of them so relaxed. The rest of the students had already finished their intravenous injections of calming medicine.

Under the guidance of the chip-based automatic energy cultivation method textbook "Nourishing Vital Energy Secrets," one can purify the mind and prepare for the afternoon's battle, stabilize one's mentality, withstand pressure, and make one's thinking more agile.

"Even though I'm a substitute, I still have a chance to play, and I can't let the school down."

The coffee in the café was even paid for by the finance director himself, hoping these kids would perform well and attract investment for the school.

"Hey, teacher, just tell me straight. This year, Yuanyue dominated all the high schools in Gray Core City. As for the scholarship amount, just transfer it directly to Brother Qing's account."

Liu Ziwen didn't take it seriously; today was purely for sightseeing.

Only students in their final year of high school can participate.

Last year's senior high school students received a scholarship of 3,000 yuan for both individual and team competitions.

It really made the finance director laugh in exasperation. He had no temper with these seventeen- or eighteen-year-old students and was speechless for a moment.

These words are very unpleasant. Even members of the gaming guild who play in the virtual world every day wouldn't dare to say such a thing, especially a top student who has been in the top ten for two months.

"Brother Qing...it's you, right? Since you're so good, we should focus on bringing glory to Yuanyue. Personal honors can come later. Why don't you be the main player and we'll come in later?"

The president of the game club said this, without any contempt or indifference in his eyes. He didn't recognize the face, and the person wasn't even from the demonstration class. He just felt a little sorry for him.

Although he is the leader of the game society and knows that the virtual world has great potential, it can only be used as a side strategy. Very few people can really turn the tide by relying on it.

If the demonstration classes are not available, it basically means there is no hope of getting into a good university. Second-rate universities are expensive and not worth attending, and most families cannot afford them. They can only go to vocational colleges and become ordinary members of society or lifelong contract workers.

Most of the students in the demonstration class, even if their families weren't luxurious enough to be considered the children of elite talents, still came from wealthy families and could easily afford all their expenses during high school.

After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't bring myself to be angry.

This was the last point of overlap between myself and their world; thereafter, we would never meet again, our worlds worlds apart.

Although it was Liu Ziwen showing off.

But Wang Qing had no reason to refuse.

"Sure, let's do it this way."

Wang Qing only wanted a quick victory; he was there to control Mercury Heavy Industries, and even the entire Mercury Group. "By the way, was that person in the Tang suit I met during the day also selected through one of these competitions?"

In his mind, since it is called burning incense and worshipping a master, only someone of a certain level would dare to take on a disciple.

But Wang Qing's words really stunned everyone, leaving them speechless and unable to even laugh. There's a limit to ignorance, isn't there?

"Brother, that was a very famous professional player who won a place in the 21st Floor Virtual World Championship. He was a student of the BOSS in the Mercury Building. He's a world apart from me."

One female student was speechless. Anyway, it didn't matter whether she was a main player or a substitute. Yuanyue never lasted until the end. It was just a matter of the order in which the main players and substitutes were selected.

Wang Qing immediately lost interest. Was he really going to be recruited as a disciple by those so-called managers and executives who came to take photos and check in? How low-class!

How slow would this infiltration be? How many years and months would it take?

Only by going all out today, even beating up the people in the company, can we quickly infiltrate. Anyway, it's just a game, it's fake, so it doesn't matter.

Perhaps there is a severe disconnect between their different identities in the underworld and in school.

In fact, Yuan Jingang's gang was already a very ruthless group in the underground streets of the South District, and most of the members of the Spider Gang were at the Qi Refining Realm.

The Mercury Building also houses most of those in the mid-to-late stages of Qi Refining.

Xiao Su is the person with the highest cultivation level that Wang Qing has ever met.

Reaching the 21st level of Foundation Establishment perfection is roughly equivalent to having top-tier combat power.

However, there is one exception.

The demonic terrorist who fled over Gray Core City that day was named Ao Jing.

It's unclear whether he noticed his own actions during the countermeasures at the time.

"It's almost two o'clock, let's go."

"That's what the finance director said."
