Finding Help

Park Il-saeng's death left Old Wang without any clues or direction.

He knew he couldn't complete this task by himself, and if he continued to do it alone, he would face the same awkward situation again next time.

But Old Wang didn't know who to turn to. He hadn't started building his network among the NPCs yet, and the only one he had a decent relationship with was Dark Night, an underground organization.

"Am I stupid? Why are we fixated on the NPCs? Is the Fourth Calamity really that insignificant?" Old Wang suddenly exclaimed, struck by a sudden inspiration.

He had been dissatisfied with these top-level NPCs for a long time, and this was the best opportunity for Player to intervene in the Alliance's power.

Although they can't reach the top, what kind of beings are the Player? They are beings who, given a fulcrum, can lift the entire earth.

Once they get in, it's only a matter of time before they launch an attack on the top tier of the Alliance.

Old Wang returned to the Future Headquarters with his belongings and logged off. He then sent a message on his phone to a group he had joined but hadn't spoken to, and waited in the largest conference room at their guild's base.

"Hello everyone, this is Thousand King. I have a very Hard task that I need your help with. I hope you can do me the honor of coming to the Future Guild headquarters before 7 o'clock."

After Old Wang sent out this message, people from all the well-known factions in the game started contacting the person in charge, and then they all headed towards the Future Guild's headquarters.

A task that this person values so highly and needs help with must be extremely important, perhaps even capable of changing the course of the entire game.

7 o'clock

Ocean Planet

Future Guild Headquarters Meeting Room

The meeting room was now packed; everyone in the special group, which included major factions and top players from across the game, was present.

"Time's up, thank you all for giving me this opportunity."

To get straight to the point, here's what happened: a few days ago I received a mission from my Master, Carrot...

There must be high-ranking members of the Alliance behind this mission; they couldn't have been so ruthless without the support of the very top.

I also knew that this task couldn't be handled by Future one person, so I called everyone here!

Old Wang briefly explained the task, and then everyone in the room fell into deep thought.

Some of them grew increasingly bright-eyed as they Thought, clearly having already considered the benefits this mission would bring them.

"How many people did you bring, President Thousand King?" one of them asked.

"The system notifies me that I am a Deputy Inspector, with four Assistant and a team of 20 people!" Old Wang.

"These all have official titles, and there's a possibility of promotion after completing the mission?" another person asked.

"Yes, and they all start at a relatively high level. After completing the mission, they will be responsible for at least one city, and Assistant and Adjutant may even be responsible for one star."

"After all, the system has given me a lot of power this time. If I wanted, I could even run for office with the NPCs after completing this task," Old Wang.

Everyone who heard this was deeply moved, especially those who were pursuing this goal.

They've worked so hard for so long, and he's suddenly become so successful! It's all about timing and fate!

"We'll take it Adjutant," someone said after Old Wang finished speaking.

The crowd glanced at them, then remained silent, for they were from above; this time, they had sent the Overall Director of the game.

"No problem. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have asked you for help anyway. After all, you're the professionals when it comes to this kind of thing," Old Wang said.

Everyone nodded; indeed, no one was more professional than them at catching corrupt officials.

"Do any of the four Assistant recommend someone from their own guild? This mission isn't really a combat mission, so I suggest sending out professionals."

If there's a need for combat, you can find someone to help; there's no need to waste this spot. This is something you should definitely plan for the future.

To be honest, I strongly disagree with the current Alliance Leadership in this game.

"If any of you want to rise to the top, as long as you guarantee to run this game just like the real world, I will definitely give you my full support!" Old Wang said to the others.

The reason they couldn't handle this mission in the Future is simply because they're just a gaming guild.

They're experts at managing things in the game, but asking them to control the Alliance seems like a joke.

The jobs held by those in power are not something just anyone can do; Old Wang has always believed that professionals should do professional work.

"How can we get into that core?" one person asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but becoming Major General is a prerequisite. You can all strive towards that goal," Old Wang said.

"Major General!!!"

"Is he already at this Military Rank? How much of a gap is that between us?"

~~~

The meeting ended amidst much discussion, and then Old Wang led the team they had voted for back to the Outpost Star.

These twenty-odd people were all high-ranking figures and experts in the world, especially Old Wang's Adjutant.

This man is Qu Zhihua, the real head of the Investigation Team in the present world, a model of young talent.

"Is this where they ambushed you?" Qu Zhihua asked Old Wang Wangren after the group arrived at the scene.

"Yes, these are the Demon-Breaking Cone and arrows they left behind," Old Wang said, handing the two items to him.

"These things are useless; none of them are as useful as the bullets those people left behind."

The idea that bullets can be used to determine the type of firearm is completely meaningless.

"You didn't leave any bullets, did you?" Qu Zhihua.

Old Wang: "..."

He looked at the battlefield, now completely undisturbed, and felt somewhat lost and questioning his existence.

"But it doesn't matter. Our target wasn't those assassins or death squads, but the people behind us. Bullets aren't that important. You don't need to blame yourself," Qu Zhihua.

Old Wang: "..."

You should have said something; now I feel even more guilty!

"What should we do next?" Old Wang asked, changing the subject; he didn't want to think anymore.

"First, find the person in charge of military forces at this Outpost Star Base. This guy practically has my problems written all over his head."

"They didn't even flinch at all, despite the overwhelming firepower. I don't know where they got their confidence from?" Qu Zhihua.

"Good!"

The group quickly arrived at the location of the Outpost garrison leader and, without notifying anyone, went inside under Old Wang's guidance.

Old Wang is Major General in the Alliance, and the person in charge is Colonel in the Alliance. He has never come to see him since he knew of Old Wang's existence, which can be described as very arrogant.

There's no need to be polite to such an arrogant person, especially since he's a suspect now.

Who are you?

As soon as Old Wang and his group entered, the NPCs pointed their guns at them, while the 200-pound person in charge in the center remained calm and composed, showing no intention of getting up.

"Do you know what crime it is to point a gun at the Alliance Major General?" Qu Zhihua asked, looking at one of the soldiers.

The soldier hesitated, cold sweat starting to pour down his back. He wanted to put the gun down, but after glancing at the fat man, he still trembled as he picked it up again.

At this moment, Qu Zhihua gave Old Wang a look, meaning to proceed according to plan.

After nodding slightly to indicate that he had received the message, Old Wang flashed in front of the fat man and pressed his head down to the ground.

Old Wang has awakened his superpowers; his physical abilities are comparable to those of Legendary powerhouses, and no one could react in time.

"Your butt's pretty heavy, huh? Do you recognize this?" Old Wang said, pulling out his identification.

Upon witnessing this scene, the NPC soldiers' defenses completely crumbled, realizing that even their backers were struggling to protect themselves, let alone them.

"I... I know you, sir, but I don't recognize you in person."

The fat man chickened out; he hadn't expected Old Wang to actually make a move, especially since Old Wang was at least Legendary in terms of strength.

The fat man's name is Calai, and he's from the Azure Dragon Legion. He's quite capable; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent him to the Outpost Star.

"It's good that we know each other. Come with me, I have something to ask you!" Old Wang released him and walked out of the room.

The fat man glanced at his subordinate, a fierce glint in his eyes, and then followed.

The subordinate immediately understood and sent people to prepare.

As soon as Old Wang and his group led him out of the gate, they were surrounded by hundreds of NPC soldiers.

"These are the men, impersonating Alliance Major General, trying to kidnap me! Take them down!" the fat man shouted upon seeing the soldiers.

After he shouted, all the NPC soldiers summoned their Mecha, and hundreds of Mecha surrounded Old Wang and his group completely.
