Chapter 242 Strong Elasticity
Upon successfully making contact with Professor Wang Yajun's body and confirming the unlocking of target information, Wen Nan promptly went live —
[Theme: Who is Wang Yajun?]
[1. Queen]
[2. Princess]
[3. Young Master]
[4. Traitor]
[5. Servant]
[6. None of the Above]
The "ding ding" sound of wagers being placed filled the livestream chat.
[You really know how to stream]
[You know how to make money]
[Brothers, whatever! Going all in, betting on Queen! Go big or go home!]
[Have you ever seen such a chubby old man as a queen?]
[The faction card is just an identity, it's unrelated to appearance or gender. Does Jiu cilang look like Guan Gong? How did he end up with the Loyal Minister card?]
[From my years of observing, I responsibly conclude that this old man is likely a Traitor! He's clearly in cahoots with Wu Qing, right? How else could they partner up so quickly? According to the system, the Young Master actively seeks out Traitors and helps them complete tasks! Wu Qing is the Young Master; he actively found Wang Yajun and helped him summon potential suspects one by one for examination, which makes sense, right?]
[Makes sense, I'll bet on Traitor]
[I'm in]
[Count me in]
[Em, I think with five shorts and a long, you pick the longest, so I should bet on 6.]
[6]
[No way, buddy, there are only seven factions in this instance, five are in the options, picking 6 means he's either not the Assassin or the Loyal Minister. Wang Yajun clearly isn't getting along with the two Loyal Ministers, and given his hefty size, there's no way he's the Assassin from the cafeteria, right? Your choice is a safe loss.]
…
…
The discussion in the livestream continued fervently, with option 4. Traitor narrowly beating out other options, while option 1. Queen came in second.
In Wang Yajun's lab, Wen Nan was standing in front of the desk. The moment he touched the old man's arm, Wu Qing rushed over to forcefully grab his arm and fling it away.
Wen Nan was caught off guard, staggered back two steps, and only stopped when his back hit the nearby file cabinet.
He was just testing Wang Yajun; he didn't expect Wu Qing's reaction to be so intense. Despite Wu Qing's frail appearance, she actually had quite a bit of strength, nearly overwhelming Wen Nan with his over 500 points in strength and armor.
Looking up again, Wen Nan could see Wu Qing's face gradually turning an abnormal pale white, then to purple, and finally to greenish-blue.
Her greenish-blue skin and eyes, devoid of whites with only dark, empty pupils, made her look like a goblin.
From her greenish-blue skin, black mist began to gradually emerge, spreading outward, seemingly about to envelop Wen Nan entirely.
Is this… a skill?
This skill immediately reminded Wen Nan of Qiqi.
It was an upgraded contact-based skill, related to some kind of mental control.
Instinctively, Wen Nan retreated to avoid contact with the black mist, but the mist quickly filled every corner of the office, forcing Wen Nan to step outside.
Standing at the door, he apologized to Wu Qing, "Mr. Wu, I didn't mean it, please don't be angry."
Wu Qing was evidently very protective of Wang Yajun's safety, furious at Wen Nan's deliberate proximity and probing of Wang Yajun, originally resolved to teach Wen Nan a lesson.
However, facing such a sincere apology, especially from a face so strikingly handsome it seemed to glow, Wu Qing found it hard to refuse.
Finally, the mist around her dissipated, her aura retracted, and she sighed, "Only this once, no exceptions."
Wen Nan promptly nodded compliantly, "I understand, Mr. Wu."
Wu Qing waved her hand, "You should leave first, I will notify you."
Wen Nan acknowledged, closed the door, and hurriedly left.
Upon exiting the lab, Wen Nan immediately brought up the profile he had just obtained from Wang Yajun —
[Name: **]
[Identity: **]
[Introduction: **]
[Faction: Locked]
The identity information was hidden.
Wen Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Getting such a result was not surprising at all.
If the Mind Reading Technique hadn't still been on cooldown, Wen Nan had originally planned to use the skill on Wang Yajun, but it looks like he'll have to wait for another meeting.
Storing the hidden identity information in the system, Wen Nan felt an inexplicable irritation rising within him.
Although being a Loyal Minister, the need to hide one's identity isn't as high as an Assassin, the fact that so many players and characters can conceal their identities makes Wen Nan, wandering the map with all his identity information exposed, feel a peculiar sense of shame akin to Robin.
How should he hide his own information?
The moment this question surfaced, a system notification instantly sounded in his mind —
9527: [In the instance, there are identity information hiding cards, located in five hidden locations on T University campus, players can obtain this item through exploring the map.]
So, the item is dropped by map exploration?
No wonder Yang Mingzhong was able to hide his identity so early, that map-exploring maniac has always been peerless in this aspect.
That being said, there are only five hiding cards in total? And it's known that two of them have already been used, so at most, there are only three left.
If Wen Nan doesn't want to continue being Robin, he must start his map exploration as soon as possible.
However, it's already late; in a few hours, it will be time for the dinner he arranged with Li Fang, and Wen Nan needs to find a way to make some money before then.
