Chapter 2183-2.181 A Melodrama
“0326, you noticed something was wrong a long time ago.” The mission client, 0606 Lolita, called in an encrypted video call midway through the mission.
“Hmm.” Wu Chen spoke frankly: “They say ‘plot leads to plot.’ Since this series of follow-up plots stems from my team’s trip to Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain to recruit the Jade-Faced Fox, there must be some hidden story. So we’ll find out soon enough. Logically speaking, as a receptionist, she doesn’t have the authority to retrieve the ‘Dragon Ball.’ The fact that she can retrieve it means that her authority has exceeded what the rules have granted her. However, her obedience to the mistress makes her unable to resist, and she can only follow orders to use the authority she has been given. This is the shattered sanctuary, 0606.”
“No wonder.” 0606 Lolita nodded gently: “That ‘thorn in the flesh’ is more destructive than it appears on the surface.”
“That’s right.” Wu Chen didn’t need to hide anything: “But everything is proceeding according to plan. As long as the important ‘anchor point’ is sealed, I can uproot this ‘thorn in my flesh’.”
"Have you considered what to do after it's removed?" 0606 Lolita pressed.
"Hmm." Although the follow-up was no longer related to 0606 Lolita, Wu Chen still appreciated the good intentions from the bottom of his heart: "Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
"Okay, 0326." Lolita hung up the video call with relief.
"My dear master, what should we do with this 'Halloween Pearl'?" asked Wang Xueqing, a mysterious and alluring female spy, in a soft voice.
"Of course, we'll hand it over to Princess Jade Face, so that Team 4 can achieve their goal and form the Cyber Fox Spirit, Thirteen Maidens of the Clouds," Wu Chen said with a smile.
"Your decision is fine, my dear master." As expected of a versatile female spy who combines mystery and allure, she delivers plenty of emotional value.
Besides, their intimate interactions within the little black bird were already recorded. All the female warriors at the 0326 Star Cube Base can access and view them at any time. It truly is a warm and loving family.
"The problem is, how do we get the people and the Dragon Ball in?" True to her reputation as a popular online novelist, the meticulous Lan Ting got to the heart of the matter. How could they send the Jade-Faced Princess, the Cyber Fox Spirit Moyun Thirteen, and the Halloween Dragon Ball into the second level of the Fulong Temple Pagoda where Team Breakthrough 4 was currently located, without interfering with the competition or disrupting the existing rhythm?
Wu Chen had already thought of it: "Since the characters in the play who are mass-produced by players have an exit mechanism, then there must be a 'hidden door' setting."
Players are familiar with the concept of a "hidden door," which typically refers to an inconspicuous entrance or mechanism that requires specific conditions or actions to open, serving as a gateway to hidden areas, rewards, or story content. Wu Chen uses it here, similar in meaning to a "shortcut"—opening a special passage from the outside into the tower's story timeline. It's also similar to a "backdoor program." In short, it's a way to enter and exit the story timeline without interfering with the unfolding plot.
The person who knows the "hidden door" setting best must be the fat otaku who personally created the Furyuji Dragon Ball Competition.
So Wu Chen directly dialed the fat otaku's encrypted communication.
"Haha, 0326. I saw it all, your female warrior is really amazing..." Just as Wu Chen expected. Just like every time Fat Otaku posts an immersive dimensional elevator exploration mission, he always watches the whole thing from Wu Chen's perspective. He also can't help but watch the intense Dragon Ball battles. Of course, it's hard to say whose perspective he'll be using, or if he'll be witnessing it from a third-person perspective through a hidden panoramic surveillance camera.
"0716, to make a long story short. Do you have any backdoors to get people in?"
"Ahem..." Fatty didn't seem surprised by Wu Chen's straightforward request: "Of course there are. For example, those stowaways (vampires) who hide in ancient stone coffins and fake their death (hibernation) to enter the venue. Of course, there are also gamblers who have lost so much that they come to me wanting to bet big again to win back their losses."
"Can you send a person and a Dragon Ball into the arena?" Wu Chen asked directly.
"Giving it away is fine. But it's best to return the Dragon Balls to their rightful owner," the otaku cautiously suggested.
“Okay.” Wu Chen added, “I want to extract Princess Wansheng’s primordial spirit from the Dragon Ball. Is that alright?” Actually, Wu Chen had already guessed the outcome.
"Yes, of course." The chubby guy had no reason to lie: "You must have guessed it too, the birth of the Dragon Balls is random. For example, the birth of the Feathered Serpent Ball and the Azure Dragon Ball are closely related to the outcome of the plot." "That is, the outcome of the battle." Wu Chen pointed out: "So it could also be the 'Blood Orchid Ball,' the 'Deformed King Ball,' the 'Rage Ball'..."
“Yes, that’s it.” The chubby guy gave a spoiler: “According to the previous setting, the ‘Halloween Pearl’ is a special dragon pearl guarded by the Halloween Dragon Granny. The final player team will encounter her when they reach the seventh floor of the Fulong Temple Tower. After defeating her, they will obtain the seventh and final dragon pearl. At that time, they can ‘awaken’ Shenron and grant one wish.”
"As expected, mother and daughter are of one mind." The fat otaku deliberately emphasized the word "awaken," giving a strong hint: "'Halloween Pearl' can awaken the delirious Halloween Dragon Granny into a divine dragon."
“That’s it, 0326.” The fat guy was still completely unaware of what had happened in the reception hall. Clearly, he didn’t know that the seemingly delirious Wan Sheng Long Po had long since become a different person. Now, she was the Wan Sheng Long Mu that Wu Chen spoke of, someone who knew all the competition rules and was familiar with all sorts of cheat codes.
This is why the otaku was so careful, even at the cost of spoilers. The subtext is clearly that this Dragon Ball is crucial to awakening Shenron. In the end, Wu Chen returned it to its rightful owner intact.
"It's alright." Wu Chen also gave a small spoiler: "The dragon has already awakened, there's no need for any melodramatic scenes to force it into the story."
"Is that so?" Despite his surprise, the fat otaku believed it: "Alright then, 0326. Send the people and the Dragon Balls to me as soon as possible."
"Then it's settled." Wu Chen then hung up the video call.
Without delay, he immediately rode the little black bird to Moyun Cave on Jilei Mountain.
The story goes that initially, Princess Jade Face accompanied Team Exorcising Waves 4 to Fulong Temple. Just in case, Captain Nine-Tailed Fox instructed Princess Jade Face to wait outside the temple gate. After waiting for a long time without them appearing, fearing something might have happened, Princess Jade Face returned to her cave. She reasoned that once Captain Nine-Tailed Fox obtained the Halloween Dragon Pearl, they would surely come to meet her. If Nine-Tailed Fox and his group didn't emerge from the temple, waiting would be futile.
as predicted.
Upon hearing that Wu Chen had come to visit, Princess Jade Face personally came out to greet him.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Seeing Wu Chen standing there, handsome and smiling, Princess Jade Face couldn't help but feel delighted: "May I ask, young master, what brings you here?"
"Ah, just to keep my appointment." With that, she flipped her palm, and a fragrant, ethereal lotus flower appeared before Princess Jade Face once more.
"Young master, please do not reveal your true colors." Princess Jade Face hurriedly ushered him into the cave, fearing that he would be seen by others.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Princess Jade Face asked first, "Where are the fairies?"
"Still at the temple, cleaning up the mess." Wu Chen said casually, "I was afraid the princess would wait too long, so I was sent first."
“In that case…” Princess Jade Face asked with affection, “Young Master, who is this fairy maiden?”
"A Daoist partner." Wu Chen didn't hide anything. After saying that, he took out the Myriad Saints Dragon Pearl: "I have fulfilled my mission."
Baolian and the Dragon Pearl are both there; how could they be faked?
If it's always a case of pretending to be real, how can it be a case of real acting being fake?
Princess Jade Face had no choice but to believe it. Indeed, "It's better for me to die than for my friend." Saving Princess Jade Face first, then administering the precious lotus is not too late.
Everything you're thinking is correct.
