What undercover? This is the chosen worker.

When Yang Jian landed on the coast of Iron Mine Ridge, he stumbled a bit.

He had just gotten used to swimming and diving like a seal, and now on land, he didn't know how to move his legs.

Just then, some murlocs, not knowing their place, came screaming to provoke him.

Yang Jian himself didn't want to move at all.

With a thought, a completely black wolf slowly walked out of the void.

Mo Song, LV7!

While Yang Jian waited on the beach for a moment to clear his head, Mo Song had already cleaned up all the surrounding murlocs.

He also tidied up the spoils of war.

Yang Jian: Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, send me four more 16-slot bags, useful?

Zhou Yue: ??? Didn't I prepare enough equipment for you to upgrade to purple? Why do you still need bags? Are you addicted to eating?

Yang Jian: Hehe, I just found out that my wolf baby also has backpack slots!

Zhou Yue: ??? This game experience is really bad... Zhou Yue: I got a few more Level 10 purple items today, how should I arrange them? Put them in the guild or give them to you!

Yang Jian: Except for what you and Bai Youyou can use, give all the rest to me!

Zhou Yue: Not developing the guild anymore?

Yang Jian: Great power belongs to oneself, girl! Let's feed ourselves first, and if there's extra, we can give a little to them... Zhou Yue: What about your Su Su?

Yang Jian: ...What do you mean 'my Su Su'? I haven't even taken advantage of her yet!

Zhou Yue: Alright! I knew you and Bai Youyou... Yang Jian quickly closed the chat, ignoring the incessant dinging of private messages!

As he walked, a confused Yang Jian still slapped himself.

Serves you right for having a loose tongue!

Although Zhou Yue was verbally indignant, she was still diligent in her work.

Having followed Yang Jian for four or five years, the honest kid had been thoroughly manipulated!

By the time he arrived at Iron Mine Ridge, the 'unread mail' notification had been hanging for over half an hour.

Yang Jian opened the mail and received four green 16-slot bags and 4 Level 10 purple pieces of equipment.

After equipping Mo Song with the backpack, Yang Jian began to examine the purple equipment!

The item Yang Jian valued most was a shield.

[Bandit Round Shield (Purple)]

[Required Level: Level 10]

[Off-hand, Shield]

[Armor +1250]

[Strength +10]

[Stamina +10]

[Dodge +10]

[Durability: 80/80]

The moment Yang Jian saw this equipment, he decided that it would be the perfect start for his purple talent!

This armor, this stamina, and most importantly, it adds dodge... I want to see how the monster helps me dodge when it hits me and I don't move!

Finding a 24-hour inn, Yang Jian paid to stay.

The next second, Yang Jian woke up from the game pod.

Today, he had trained with Old Ma for a whole day.

There was no rest scheduled for the afternoon during game time either.

Might as well waste some time with this Blood Moon buff!

Outside the game, it was now 8:30 AM.

Yang Jian walked out of his office to check the common office area.

The non-player employees in Lingyun Studio were just finishing their shift changes.

Bai Youyou was also arranging for several newly hired female players.

"These are them?"

"I recruited several in-game sales staff! I plan to utilize the commercial part of the small building I bought in East City and open two shops!"

This piqued Yang Jian's interest!

"What kind of shops will they be?"

"One for acquisition, buying various skill books, game materials, and such. The other for selling. A guild, after all, needs a place for life-skill players to shine... At that time, finished products like equipment and potions can be sold externally at a higher price!"

"Isn't there an Auction House in the game?"

"The Auction House has transaction fees! And they're very expensive..."

Yang Jian thought about it; it wasn't impossible!

"By the way, why hasn't the guild stronghold been set up yet?"

"The base was just bought, and I'm still looking for someone to do some simple renovations!"

"Still renovating?"

"Are you kidding? Our guild stronghold will be in this place for a long time, so we have to make the facade look good, right?"

If you put it that way... it seems right!

Yang Jian immediately stopped wasting words.

"So how many Level 10 players do we have in our guild now? Have they all been pulled away by you to do civil engineering? Would Zhou Yue even agree to that?"

Bai Youyou: ... She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

She didn't want Yang Jian to see her confusion and helplessness!

"Our guild also has a person named Chen Ergou. I arranged for him to find some hardworking laborers. One silver coin a day, and the queue of people almost stretched from the East Gate to the Lord's Plaza..."

Yang Jian said nothing, silently got up and left, no longer delaying Manager Bai's work.

Before leaving, he subconsciously opened his Eye of Truth to check the four girls Bai Youyou had specially recruited in the adjacent small conference room.

Three of them were ordinary fresh college graduates, with proper features. Even without makeup, they scored about seventy points, and with a little makeup and styling, they would all be internet goddess level!

Unfortunately, in Xia Kingdom in 2225, there were too many internet goddesses, and all sorts of imposters could pretend to be one.

With beauty filters cranked up, let alone ugly women, even men with two steamed buns could impersonate goddesses.

The price of goddesses had plummeted, becoming worthless online... Except for bikini goddesses who could still capture the last bit of traffic, beauty streamers had almost been taken down across the entire network!

Coincidentally, Lingyun Studio's salaries were quite high, so these little beauties all came to apply.

But the introduction of another girl, who scored around eighty points, caught Yang Jian's attention.

[Name: Yan Zhengmei]

[Description: A staff member sent by the official Xia Kingdom organization, the 'Rift and Salvation Emergency Response Committee,' to collect intelligence. She can earn two salaries, oh...]

[Note: These people are specially trained, extremely capable, and can be used like workhorses!]

"Hey, Youyou!"

"What's wrong?"

"That one!"

Yang Jian pointed at Yan Zhengmei.

"This one is from the official side..."

Bai Youyou's eyes instantly widened. She looked at the woman sitting opposite the one-way glass, filling out hermaterial.

She quickly flipped through the documents in her hand.

"Her name is Yan Zhengmei. Thematerial says she graduated from Jingdu Normal University. Because she couldn't pass the civil service exam, she heard our salary here is quite high..."

As she read, Bai Youyou couldn't continue.

The documents were definitely real. After all, they were officially printed, and anything coming from them couldn't be fake... "So what do we do? Hire her?"

Yang Jian was stunned.

"Are you trying to rebel?"

"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? How am I trying to rebel?"

"The imperial court sent someone. It's one thing that you didn't kneel and kowtow a few times, but you want to fire her? And you still say you don't know martial arts?"

Bai Youyou rolled her eyes.

"How many years old is that worn-out joke, and you're still using it..."

Then she started to worry again.

"Then what do you say we do?"

"Just pretend not to know. Treat her as a regular employee, use her like a workhorse! Dirty and tiring jobs aside, you can give her difficult tasks to handle! These people are all extremely capable..."

"Alright, that's what we'll do!"

Saying that, she eyed Yang Jian suspiciously, looking him up and down.

"How did you develop such an eye for people? Could it be that you were a beta tester and already had the talents from salvation?"

Huh? You know, don't even say it... The more she thought about it, the more Bai Youyou felt she was right, and she started circling Yang Jian.

Her gaze was still scanning him up and down!

"Because you were a beta tester, you knew the inside story of salvation, which is why you were so confident in this game, not hesitating to sell Chuangsheng and go all-in on salvation! Right?"

Yang Jian almost wanted to perform a sweat-drenched act!

Unfortunately, the air conditioning was too strong, and he couldn't sweat.

"With this level of insight, it's a pity you're not writing novels..."

Bai Youyou hummed twice.

Seeing that the four girls in the small conference room had all filled out their forms, she didn't delay any longer and walked out, swaying her hips, to the next room.

Yang Jian let out a long sigh.

He got up and went upstairs to lift weights.

After half an hour of sweating profusely, his alarm rang!

As soon as the alarm rang, his talent CD would be ready in two minutes.

He got up, wiped his sweat, and returned to the office to time his CD.

After devouring a blue item, he was about to go offline when he saw the chat box light up.

Mo Suqing: The more I play this game, the more I feel something is wrong!

Yang Jian: ... Mo Suqing: Although I have great confidence in current artificial intelligence, it's too absurd for so many NPCs in one village to be so intelligent, isn't it?

Yang Jian: Maybe they're all real people pretending!

Mo Suqing: ... Yang Jian looked at her level.

Level six?

The early game leveling speed is so fast, yet you're still crawling like a turtle with a golden talent. How dare you chat?

Yang Jian: Your leveling speed is a bit slow, huh! Look at the other high-ranking members of our guild, aren't they all top-notch?

Mo Suqing: My flight just arrived in Yun Province last night, and I also inspected my tea plantation and pastoral... Yang Jian: Rich lady, let's be good friends!

Mo Suqing: Please leave smoothly, thank you!

Yang Jian: Alrighty!

Yang Jian wasn't in a hurry now. After all, the server had only been open for less than ten days. They needed more time to discover the game's secrets!

Yang Jian also needed more time to make himself stronger!

He now had a clear plan for himself.

Although he didn't know which force was protecting these civilian players now, such protection certainly wouldn't last a lifetime!

The turning point would likely come during the Abyssal invasion.

Once the Abyss arrives, various restrictions are highly likely to be completely lifted, and everyone will have to rely on their own abilities!

Therefore, Yang Jian must reach the level where he can kill Abyssal Monsters in the game as quickly as possible.

Making himself invincible both inside and outside the game... In an unknown Newbie Village.

Mo Suqing fell into thought, looking at Yang Jian's dimmed name.

For someone who hasn't played this game, just hearing about it, let alone seeing it, the feeling would probably be like the AAA masterpiece "2222" from a few years ago!

They would think the doomsday theories in the game were just background settings, just bragging... In reality, NPCs couldn't be bothered with players with ordinary talents.

They were all happy gamers.

And the higher a person's talent, the more truths they could access.

Purple talent is entry-level, orange is the backbone, and golden talent—NPCs would practically kowtow to you on the spot, answering almost any question!

Here, one must mention a certain lucky goddess's biological daughter.

Yang Jian still couldn't understand how Zhou Yue managed to get a red talent from a golden treasure chest...

Because he also had too many secrets he didn't want others to know, although he was curious about the answer to this question, Yang Jian had never asked!

Actually, how she got it isn't important now!

What's important is that Zhou Yue's talent is the cornerstone of his own strength!

Knowing this is enough!

"Never mind, I'm not going offline during this Blood Moon. I'll quickly level up to 10 and head to Zhenhai City. Perhaps only by going to the guild's center of power can I discover more secrets!"

She summoned her three summoned beasts and was about to set off when Mo Suqing's WeChat voice call rang.

She picked it up and saw!

Her dad, Old Mo!

Mo Suqing had just arrived in Yun Province and was worried that her subordinates wouldn't be able to find her if something came up, plus there were still some liaison matters to handle with the group company.

Knowing that the game had a function to integrate WeChat, she directly connected it.

So if someone needed to contact her, she didn't necessarily have to go offline!

"Dad!"

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

"I'm playing a game!"

... A long silence from both sides!

"What I said that day about you leaving Linhai, it was just a moment of anger..."

"Dad! I'm doing great in Yun Province. I've taken over 'my' industries and am currently integrating them! If there's nothing else..."

Beep, beep... Mo Suqing hadn't finished speaking when Old Mo hung up the phone!

Her father!

He never allowed anyone to defy him.

Heh heh!
