Lu Bai took off his headphones and looked up at the hooded man in front of him.

He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Wow, Lao Ding, your scope of work is quite broad."

Ding Zhongmin chuckled, "Let's go, we don't need all that formality, we'll just go straight in when we get there."

"OK."

Lu Bai clicked the mouse once, then got up and followed Ding Zhongmin to a nightclub called Truth or Dare.

He didn't ask how the guy knew he was there; after all, he could see whatever abilities the other person possessed.

The nightclub hadn't opened yet; the heavy doors were ajar.

In the dimly lit corridor, Ding Zhongmin led the way, saying in a low voice, "To show how much they value you, a Vice President has come to see you personally this time. You can't let the club down."

The Can Society has only one president and two Vice President.

Normally, new members need to be mentored by senior members for a period of time to confirm their trustworthiness before they Can Society.

However, Lu Bai's performance in the Deathmatch Showdown was so exaggerated that even the usually cautious rats from Can Society n't help but make contact with him ahead of time.

"Don't worry, Lao Ding, you know me perfectly well."

Lu Bai quickened his pace, stepped forward and put his arm around Ding Zhongmin's shoulder, acting as if they were old friends of decades.

Ding Zhongmin's lips twitched slightly; he really wanted to say that this was only the second time they had met.

However, he managed to hold back and laughed twice to ease the awkwardness.

Upon entering the nightclub, Lu Bai quickly scanned the crowd present.

The number of people was roughly the same as last time, and they had met almost everyone before.

There was only one more man in a flashy red suit.

Kang Meirou's rounded thighs were encased in black stockings, and she sat with her legs together next to the man, looking exceptionally docile.

As soon as Lu Bai and Ding Zhongmin came out of the corridor, the flamboyant man in the red suit immediately waved to them, his attitude appearing quite friendly.

"Haha, you're here?"

[Data file detected, read now?]

Lines of translucent small characters appeared in front of Lu Bai's retina.

His gaze locked onto the flamboyant man; if nothing unexpected happened, this guy should be the so-called Vice President.

This can be seen from the sheer number of abilities the other party possesses.

Unlike the others present, this flamboyant man possessed three abilities.

Two colors and one gold.

[Absolute Cloud Interruption (Colorful): After an untargetable dodge, unleash a powerful fire and wind-attribute slash capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth. During the charging phase, the user is in a super armor state, with greatly increased defense and cannot be interrupted.]

[Multiple Shadow Clone Technique (Color): Distributes stamina evenly to create clones. These clones can attack; the maximum number of clones depends on the user's own strength. Clones will immediately dissipate upon taking any damage. Upon dissipation or automatic cancellation, the memories and proficiency gained during the clone creation process will be returned to the original user.]

[Wall of Fire (Gold): Creates an impenetrable wall of fire that lasts for ten seconds. The amount of stamina consumed by the user affects the length, width, and height of the wall. The wall inflicts burn damage on targets it touches, while the user experiences a self-healing effect upon contact.]

All three abilities are quite strong, and their versatility is also very high.

Lu Bai couldn't resist the urge to directly acquire these three abilities.

Especially the colorful [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique].

It may not be particularly powerful in combat, but the fact that it can provide feedback on memory and proficiency to the user is an unparalleled and powerful learning ability.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Bai ultimately refrained from making a move.

This is only a Vice President; perhaps the other Vice President and the real president have even more useful abilities.

Calm down, we still need to play the long game.

"Sigh, they said eight o'clock, I thought it was still early, but I didn't expect everyone to be here so early."

Lu Bai responded with a smile and naturally walked to the seat opposite the man and sat down.

It's worth noting that the text message said we'd meet at 8 PM, and it's only a little past 7 PM now.

"It's like this, since you've just joined, Murphy, and we haven't established the most basic trust between us yet, I thought I'd gather everyone together first to discuss how to get along with you. That's why they all received text messages saying we should meet at seven o'clock."

The flamboyant man made a surprising remark, revealing their entire plan.

It seemed he hadn't discussed it with anyone else yet; even Kang Meirou, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but frown upon hearing such honest words.

"I love your straightforward style." A smile involuntarily appeared on Lu Bai's face.

The flamboyant man nodded and said, "Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Zheng, and everyone calls me President Zheng."

"Hello, President Zheng."

Regardless of whether it was true or false, Lu Bai readily agreed, "So, what does President Zheng intend to do by gathering everyone here today?"

President Zheng tilted his head slightly and sighed wistfully, "I just feel that our Ke Yi Can Society has been keeping a low profile for too long. If we don't do something big soon, people might forget about our Can Society reputation."

"What does President Zheng mean?" Lu Bai tilted his head.

When this issue was brought up, President Zheng clearly snapped out of his melancholy mood.

President Zheng rubbed his hands together, looking slightly excited, and said, "It's almost New Birth Festival, and I was thinking, is there any room for some mischief here?"

Lu Bai didn't care about their schemes at all; he only had one question, "Will the club president join in?"

President Zheng: "Of course, the president will certainly not be absent from this kind of team-building activity..."

Before he could finish speaking, a blond young man dressed as a bartender rushed into the lobby in a panic.

"This is bad! People from the Daxiang Campus have come knocking on our door."

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"How is that possible?"

"Our base has never been exposed."

"There's a mole!"

Some even looked directly at Lu Bai and exclaimed, "It's you!"

Lu Bai: "..." That's really not it.

Ding Zhongmin stood up in a panic. "Everyone, get out of here! Take the back door!"

The hall instantly descended into chaos, like a swarm of headless flies.

President Zheng took a deep breath, stood up, and patted Lu Bai on the shoulder. "Take care!"

Before he could finish speaking, he vanished into a puff of white smoke with a "bang".

Lu Bai: "?"

Although there was no concrete evidence, he suspected that the leak at the base might have been orchestrated by this guy.

"You mean, you were just browsing the internet and suddenly a pimp hit on you, and then you were bewitched and followed him into this nightclub?"

In the bare interrogation room, two men dressed as police officers sat at the interrogation table, staring at Lu Bai with somewhat strange expressions.
