Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 601 285: Cursed

Four days passed in a flash, and the time came to enter the dungeon.

During this period, Wu Chang's days were not easy. As the strongest numerical anomaly of the version, to prepare for the upcoming version nerf, he adapted in advance to his weakened body and further refined various techniques.

His true body continued sparring with Zhao Yan. Although he got beaten badly in the ring, it solidified his improved fighting skills.

At least in the Wanghai Branch, when abilities are banned, purely in terms of fighting techniques, aside from Zhao Yan, no one is his opponent.

What, you ask about the ranking when abilities aren't banned?

Nothing much to say, just eat elbows, and that's it.

While the true body was undergoing intense training in the ring, the True Self wasn't idle either.

He manipulated the True Self to enter the Hymn Company plane, handling the follow-up work of Hymn Company and training in firearms.

Before Wu Chang left the Hymn Company plane, he publicly stated that Schultz retired to focus on research, moving from the spotlight to behind the scenes.

But the world is not short of smart people, nor is it short of conspiracy theorists.

After that night of battling with Joy, Schultz's status was not good. Many observant people had already guessed that Schultz's retirement was likely due to health issues or even death.

With their fueling, the probing into Hymn Company became more frequent.

Not only peers but even various national officials began implicit probing into Hymn Company.

After all, from a technological and scale perspective, the Hymn Company had already surpassed other countries, including the Federation, with even the Rabbits no longer analyzing the Federation's presentations but rather switching to analyzing Hymn Company's press conferences.

The existence of such an unregulated behemoth with absolute force was a thorn in the side for any party.

Previously, out of respect for Schultz, everyone held back, but if the soul of Hymn Company Schultz had a problem, then sorry, everyone would want a piece of the pie.

To deal with these troublesome vultures, Wu Chang first held two press conferences, using Condensing Void into Reality to project a weak Schultz making brief statements.

Schultz appeared weak, satisfying all parties' speculations and guesses, yet also made them hold back a bit.

After the press conference, Wu Chang donned the latest model Essence Armor and went to the White House to play a game of golf with Meishen Sect.

He swung and smashed the grass within hundreds of meters, turning a small artificial lake into a mist. The clarity in the eyes of all Federation parties was instant, and they immediately canceled all probes into Hymn Company.

Of course, accomplishing this was not due to the latest model Essence Armor, but purely because of the numerical strength his body brought and the Water Thunder in the Five Thunders Technique.

Regarding the research on Essence Armor and Disqualified Monsters, he had ordered a full halt, diverting all resources to the research of high-energy weapons and inspiration activation surgery instead.

Using humans as raw materials to create weapons to enhance one's strength was a means Wu Chang disdained and deemed unworthy of improvement.

Besides the existing stock, he does not plan to involve himself anymore in these two areas of research.

After resolving the external environment, he arranged two more tasks.

The first task was for the news department. He instructed them to release news, based on the experience from the previous Praise Poem plan, that Schultz had made another breakthrough and was developing a true human god.

He named this plan the Hymn of Light, then gave Erin's selfie as the concept image of the artificial god for the news department to publicize externally.

To facilitate Erin's absorption of faith, the artificial god's name remained Eternal Pure Light.

The task assigned to the news department was a preparation for the next harvest of faith from the Hymn Company plane, to let everyone know about this artificial god, embedding its existence deeply in their mind and sparking discussion.

So that when Erin truly descends in the future, harvesting becomes more convenient.

Moreover, speaking of it, Erin was originally an artificial god, and aside from Schultz having a titular role, there were no falsehoods in the promotion, rather there was restraint.

The second task was to notify the weapons department to prepare a shooting range of the highest specification for him, as he intended to practice shooting!

As the only True God in the arms world, calling Hymn Company a unicorn was insufficient to describe its situation; calling it the Tower of Babel was more appropriate.

The weapons development department of Hymn Company had the most advanced shooting range globally, with capabilities and functionality more comprehensive and luxurious than the official range of Crimson Courtyard.

And more affordable.

In just four days, he brought his skill in Firearms Use from proficient to mastery and completely familiarized himself with the modified capabilities of Dawn Hammer during this time.

Entering a private plane cost the same as entering a past dungeon, only spending 400 Rotten Silver Coins, whereas at the official range of Crimson Courtyard, with full functionality and intelligent personal training, this amount of money wouldn't even last a day.

At eleven-thirty in the morning, after this period of arduous cultivation, Wu Chang, after putting on the Disguise Mask, arrived at the instance waiting area in the public zone.

The waiting area was packed, with far more players than he expected.

Since he accepted the interview with Each Issue's Hotspot, players' enthusiasm for entering the dungeon had reached unprecedented heights, all wanting to enhance themselves quickly and strive for an opportunity in the World Dungeon.

Wu Chang had heard from the members of the Management Bureau about it, but he didn't expect there to be so many people.

He looked towards the crowd, trying to spot Lin Jiang, but Lin Jiang was exceedingly cautious, not exposing himself recklessly, even with the instance start imminent and being in a safe space.
