You Have Disturbed the Fourth Calamity

"Hoo~"

After dinner, Cao Wenliang comfortably exhaled several smoke rings.

A cigarette after a meal is better than becoming an immortal.

"It's been a while, Bai Fu should have some news by now."

Cao Wenliang pushed open the window, leisurely scanning the scene outside.

He didn't necessarily need that supervisory position. With his status, recruiting one more or one less supervisor made no difference.

But he had boasted to his subordinate that he would definitely give the vacant supervisory position to him.

In a place like the Abandoned Cooling Plant, besides money and power, what people valued was face, earning everyone's respect!

Bai Fu hadn't intentionally provoked him, but since she had entered the game and offended him, she had only one path left: death.

Cao Wenliang pressed the cigarette butt against the window frame.

Sizzle!

A small bug was instantly scorched black without any resistance.

Cao Wenliang casually tossed the cigarette butt into the trash can. Just then, the sound of distant sirens suddenly came from outside.

"What's going on?"

He pushed the door open and walked out into the open space. After only a dozen seconds of looking around, a subordinate ran over, panting.

"Minister, n-n-not good!"

Cao Wenliang's eyes widened. "What's the rush? The sky hasn't fallen yet."

"Y-yes." The subordinate was timid and didn't dare to retort.

Cao Wenliang sneered. "Speak, what happened."

The subordinate quickly reported, "Minister, Bai Fu, she, she went out with her team and captured ten Outsiders!"

"How many?"

Cao Wenliang suspected he had misheard.

It was one thing for Bai Fu to capture Outsiders, but ten at once? Damn it, were you going to catch people or go shopping?

He could no longer stand still and rushed towards the source of the commotion.

The subordinate who delivered the message shrugged helplessly. See, you're anxious too.

A few minutes later, near the gate of the Wildfire Gang, hundreds of people were gathered.

"Hiss--"

"Hiss↑"

Cao Wenliang almost thought he had entered a snake pit.

What the hell are they hissing about?

"Get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way!"

He angrily began pushing people aside. After pushing away five or six people, his vision suddenly cleared.

"I want to see... Hiss!"

Cao Wenliang gasped.

In the crowd, Bai Fu was at the forefront. On her left were the members of her team. In her right hand, she held a rope, and tied to the rope were ten Outsiders.

The scene wasn't particularly spectacular, but it stunned everyone present.

Even ten piglets would take a long time to catch. Ten people in one afternoon?

Is this a game?

Cao Wenliang felt bitter.

Now, who could question Bai Fu's achievements not being enough for a supervisory position?

He looked up and saw the leader of the Wildfire Gang calling on all members to learn from Bai Fu, the outstanding new member of the Wildfire Gang.

"Take a good look, don't just resort to force when facing problems. Use your brains more often. If you don't use your brains, you'll be at the bottom forever!"

Cao Wenliang quickly nudged the person next to him.

"How did she do it?"

"Ah, Minister Cao? It's like this. When Supervisor Bai went out, she discovered these Outsiders were starting a fire to cook. So, she led her team members to deliberately lure these Outsiders away, and then took the opportunity to drug their food, knocking them all out. Alas, Supervisor Bai is truly bold and meticulous. I wish I were half as smart as her." The Wildfire Gang member spoke with envy.

Cao Wenliang couldn't stand to see this scene and turned to leave.

"Wenliang, you're here."

The leader's voice called from behind.

Cao Wenliang had no choice but to turn back. "Haha, boss, what brings you here?"

The leader smiled and patted Cao Wenliang's shoulder. "Come, come, Wenliang, let me introduce you to the rising star of our Wildfire Gang. Speaking of which, this matter also has your credit. I've been so busy lately. If you hadn't mentioned it specifically, I wouldn't have thought of assigning a new supervisor to Martin's team. Now, we've unexpectedly discovered a promising newcomer, hahaha."

"..."

He really wanted to laugh along, but he just couldn't.

Praising Bai Fu was one thing, but dragging him into it? That was like stabbing him in the heart!

This twisted world!

Cao Wenliang, whose temper was already not great, was about to explode.

Calm down, calm down, I must stay calm right now!

As he thought this, he suddenly noticed that the Outsiders were looking at him curiously, without a trace of fear, only interest.

Cao Wenliang's anger surged again.

Has Old Cao lost his edge, or have you guys gotten too bold? You're not even scared after being captured?

"What are you looking at?"

He stomped over to the Digging Princess, who was closest to him.

Over the past few days, Digging Princess had gradually adapted to the game's realism. Therefore, even under Cao Wenliang's intense gaze, she wasn't afraid. Instead, she looked at him a few more times.

Wenliang?

Wasn't the mastermind behind Fu Fu's assassination named Cao Wenliang? Could it be this guy?

While Digging Princess was still guessing, Cao Wenliang was already laughing in anger.

They're ignoring me!

Fine, fine, these Outsiders not only killed my people, but they don't even take me seriously. Today, I'll see if these Outsiders are truly fearless!

Cao Wenliang raised his right hand high.

Just as he was about to bring it down, his peripheral vision caught sight of Bai Fu.

"You, go kill her."

"Huh? Me?"

Bai Fu pointed at herself.

Cao Wenliang said, "That's right, you. Haven't you noticed? These Outsiders you captured aren't afraid at all. There are usually only two explanations for this: First, they genuinely don't fear death. Second, they're actually in league with you, deliberately letting themselves be captured to infiltrate the Wildfire Gang."

"That, that's not right?"

Before Bai Fu could speak, her subordinates protested. They looked to their leader, hoping she would step in.

The leader smiled and said, "Ten people are indeed a bit too many, a waste of food. We only need to interrogate them for information. Keeping two or three alive is enough."

Although the leader didn't explicitly support him, Cao Wenliang knew he had turned the tables.

No matter if the leader scolded or punished him later, he wouldn't be in serious trouble, as he hadn't directly attacked Bai Fu. But Bai Fu was different.

If she was secretly colluding with the Outsiders, she wouldn't come out well whether she killed them or not.

If she had no connection with the Outsiders, killing so many of them at once would completely enrage the Outsiders, and they would never let her go.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up," Cao Wenliang urged.

His attitude immediately drew the dissatisfaction of the players, especially those in the live stream.

From the moment they stepped onto the Wildfire Gang's controlled territory, Digging Princess had started her live stream. Under the guise of visiting the Wildfire Gang, she had attracted a large audience.

[WTF, are you serious? Forcing Bai Fu to kill us?]

[Judging by his face, he's definitely not a good person.]

[When the leader praised Fu Fu earlier, I thought he was decent, but I didn't expect him to be a sly old fox.]

[What now? Can Fu Fu go through with it? If she can't, won't something bad happen?]

Digging Princess and the others quickly signaled Bai Fu.

Patrick Star even shouted directly, "Kill! Come and kill! Do you think I'm afraid?"

"Shut up, you damn Outsiders, you all deserve to die!"

Cao Wenliang roared, and silence finally fell. He looked at Bai Fu with a cold expression.

"Make your move. If you don't, I think everyone will suspect you."

Bai Fu's expression turned strange.

Buddy, do you really know what you just did?

You just declared war on the players in front of a massive audience!

Annoying the witch was scary enough, but annoying the Fourth Calamity? Now, truly no one, in heaven or on earth, could save you.

Alas, alas.

Three seconds of silence for you.

"Since you put it that way, I must prove myself."

Bai Fu took out her dagger and, under everyone's gaze, walked up to Patrick Star. Then, with a single stab, she plunged the dagger into his heart.

[You have killed Patrick Star, gaining 200 experience points.]

Huh, wait, I get experience for killing players too?

The sudden game notification caught Bai Fu by surprise.

Then she grinned. 200 experience for one Patrick Star? Killing six or seven more players would net her eight or nine hundred, and with her accumulated experience, she could level up again.

Honestly, Bai Fu was a bit unsure whether Cao Wenliang was a good guy or a bad guy to her.

Although Cao Wenliang had been targeting her, ever since Cao Wenliang started sending people to bribe players to assassinate her, it seemed that every time Cao Wenliang targeted her, she ended up making a huge profit.

Take this instance, for example. Clearly, she was the one who killed the player and gained experience, but Cao Wenliang had willingly taken all the blame.

If Brother Dabiao was her Top Spender Bro, then Cao Wenliang could absolutely be called her angel investor.

Thank you, Wenliang!
