151: Use the same trick against the undercover agent!

The fact that 99 members of the Azure Jade Gang simultaneously made it onto the level ranking had already put Weng Xun on alert!

The experience points needed to go from Level 7 to Level 8 were a whopping 50,000!

No matter if a player was Level 3, Level 4, or Level 5 before, to reach Level 8 in one go, they would have to absorb Crystal Nucleus beyond 5 levels!!

A full 99 members of the Azure Jade Gang had reached Level 8!

Could it be that they bought 99 bottles of auxiliary potions??!

Impossible!

Such an assumption would completely shatter his worldview! Weng Xun simply couldn't believe it!

So, there was only one explanation—

Perhaps before Level 10, absorbing Crystal Nucleus beyond 5 levels didn't require overly strict conditions!

Perhaps, the effect of that auxiliary potion could be used by multiple people!

This assumption was clearly more reasonable!

And Ye Haiming's successful upgrade was also a good example!

Having figured this out, Weng Xun naturally wouldn't let Liu Bohao 'experiment' with the precious, sky-high medicinal bath again!

He even felt a bit of regret for eagerly letting Ye Haiming 'experiment' with Jiao Zhengqing's remaining medicinal bath!

If he had waited a bit longer, he would surely have noticed the clue from the phenomenon of 99 members of the Azure Jade Gang reaching Level 8!

It was just a pity that because Ye Haiming promised to hand over the level ranking reward.

So, for Ye Haiming's experiment, he naturally hoped he could make it to the top of the level ranking!

And precisely because of this, Ye Haiming got a free ride!

Soon, other internal members of the Tianji Pavilion began to be organized to use that barrel of medicinal bath.

One barrel of medicinal bath, Jiao Zhengqing used it, then Ye Haiming used it, and after Ye Haiming, more than twenty people successively used it.

By the end, the smell…

Tsk tsk.

However, to improve one's strength, what did it matter if one used someone else's bathwater?

In this apocalypse, strength was everything!

Without strength, what was there to talk about dignity?

However, the 27th person to use the heavily flavored medicinal bath was, after all, very unlucky and exploded and died!

However, compared to the sacrifice of one player, the Tianji Pavilion gaining 26 Level 8 powerhouses was already a huge profit!

It was at this point that Weng Xun finally felt that the forty million Level 6 Crystal Nucleus were truly worth it!

But unfortunately, even with an additional 26 Level 8 players.

These 26 players were all ranked outside the top hundred.

The level ranking rewards for those outside the top hundred were no different from those of other Level 7 and Level 6 players!

After extracting all the value from the medicinal bath, Weng Xun finally began to arrange work.

The intelligence team immediately sprang into action, investigating all information related to the Azure Jade Gang!

This included all information on the 99 members, and what forces were supporting them from behind!

At the same time, he was also waiting for Jiao Zhengqing's good news!

On the other side, Haicheng Library.

Lin Chuan glanced at the level ranking and, knowing that his guild members had all made it onto the list, he had nothing more to worry about.

A death gods coffin experience card was held between his two fingers.

With a 'whoosh', the card transformed into a heavy black stone coffin!

Lin Chuan was about to enter the stone coffin to sleep, and by the way, experience the Dream Pillow's precognitive ability.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

It seemed he had forgotten something?

Forgotten what?

He opened his friend chat channel.

He quickly remembered that he had forgotten to give Aiya Crystal Nucleus and auxiliary potions to help her upgrade.

But the strange thing was—

Aiya should have been proactive about upgrading herself.

Just last night, she was still acting all spoiled, begging him to help her buy experience potions.

But today, why was she so quiet?

Lin Chuan vaguely realized something and proactively sent Aiya a message: [Entered a secret realm?]

As expected, there was no reply from her end.

Lin Chuan then basically confirmed that Aiya must have accidentally stumbled into an ownerless secret realm.

With that girl's strength, if she accidentally entered an ownerless secret realm, he didn't know if she would still be able to come out alive.

Lin Chuan furrowed his brows slightly, but didn't think too much.

Just as he was about to continue stepping into the death coffin, he suddenly received a message from Jiao Zhengqing: [Boss! I completed the mission of defeating my other self!]

Lin Chuan nodded, replying with a casual 'Hmm'.

Jiao Zhengqing: [My attributes have greatly increased, and my Talent has also become stronger!]

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow: [Evolved to SS-rank?]

Jiao Zhengqing: [Uh, no…]

[But I merged all the memories of the other Jiao Zhengqing! Even merged his friend list! Even my level merged into the other Jiao Zhengqing's Level 8!]

Lin Chuan was not surprised by any of this.

Or rather, he knew exactly everything that could be obtained by killing one's other self.

He just casually replied: [There's still a little time before the list rewards are distributed. Do you want to directly upgrade to Level 10 and make it into the top three of the level ranking?]

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then Jiao Zhengqing suddenly asked: [Boss, aren't you worried that I'm the other Jiao Zhengqing in disguise? After all, I just said that I merged the memories of the other Jiao Zhengqing, and even his friend list! If I were the other Jiao Zhengqing impersonating, I could still contact you, Boss, and even plot against you!]

Lin Chuan rolled his eyes: [Have you forgotten that before you even came to this world, I told you in advance about the mission to 'kill your other self'. Do you think I wouldn't be able to tell which Jiao Zhengqing you are?]

Jiao Zhengqing then sincerely admired: [Boss is truly Boss! Too strong! But I still need to report something! In the other Jiao Zhengqing's memories, he was instructed by Weng Xun, the head of the Tianji Pavilion, to kill me, and then use my merged memories and his friendship with you to plot against you!]

Lin Chuan was stunned: [The head of the Tianji Pavilion is Weng Xun?]

Jiao Zhengqing: [Yes, is there a problem?]

Lin Chuan lowered his eyes in thought.

He really didn't know that the current head of the Tianji Pavilion was Weng Xun.

After all, in his previous life, when Lin Chuan knew about the Tianji Pavilion, its head was a very mysterious existence.

And Weng Xun was merely an outer deacon of the Tianji Pavilion, with not much status within the entire Tianji Pavilion.

It seemed that in its early stages, the Tianji Pavilion must have undergone some power changes.

However, that had nothing to do with Lin Chuan.

What he cared about was that the Tianji Pavilion was plotting against him.

Then—

He directly replied to Jiao Zhengqing: [No problem, I was just thinking if we should turn their trick against them and have you go undercover in the Tianji Pavilion.]

[Good heavens, a spy within a spy? I'm afraid that won't work! Weng Xun specifically sought out Terao to buy a detailed guide on 'killing one's other self'. Since he knows that the surviving Jiao Zhengqing can obtain the other Jiao Zhengqing's friend list, he will naturally also guard against being impersonated and plotted against by the other Jiao Zhengqing!]

Lin Chuan asked: [How does he guard against it?]

Jiao Zhengqing: [Killing. Weng Xun has an item that can detect a person's kill points. 'Jiao Zhengqing' is required to kill someone on the spot every time he returns to the Tianji Pavilion. Then, the item is used to detect how many kill points he has gained. If it's one point, it proves it's the native Jiao Zhengqing; if it's a thousand points, it proves it's the Jiao Zhengqing from the Foreign World.]

Good heavens, it can be done like that!

Lin Chuan was surprised by this outrageous operation, and at the same time, he was very interested in the item in Weng Xun's hand that could detect kill points!

Kill points were the main currency of the Eternal Tower.

Under normal circumstances, players would only get a new column on their attribute panel showing their kill points after the Eternal Tower was generated.

Lin Chuan had never heard of any item that could specifically detect kill points in his previous life.

However, there were some items that required kill points to activate, and when used, they could display the user's kill points.

Such items, as far as Lin Chuan knew, were generally quite powerful.

He was already determined to acquire the God Chosen who might join the Tianji Pavilion.

Now, he had also taken a fancy to the item in Weng Xun's hand.

Plus, he was being plotted against by Weng Xun.

Of course, he had to retaliate.

So he said to Jiao Zhengqing: [If I have a way to let you successfully evade the kill point detection, would you be willing to go undercover in the Tianji Pavilion?]
