Chapter 23 Wisdom is the Key to Victory
That noon, Pang Wenke, one of the leaders of the secret organization, disguised himself and appeared before Liu Chun as if he were a friend visiting each other. He looked exactly like a foreman on a construction site.
"Let's meet formally, hello Brother Liu, my name is Pang Wenke."
"Hello, I'm Liu Chun."
After shaking hands, Pang Wenke walked into Liu Chun's house with a hint of curiosity, as if it were his first time in such a place, completely different from Liu Chun, whom he had known for several years.
A moment later, Pang Wenke asked with some excitement, "Hey, Brother Liu, where's the corpse of that 'ancient person' you mentioned?"
Liu Chun sighed and lay down on the sofa: "Shall we talk about something else first?"
Last night, it was clearly agreed that as long as the other party's conditions were not problematic, Liu Chun would agree to send them the "ancient person's" corpse.
For some reason, these people don't seem bad; what's bad is the people and things at the factory, so the two shouldn't be confused.
Pang Wenke immediately understood after being pointed out by him.
He took a small stack of documents from his briefcase, placed them on the table, and slowly pushed them toward Liu Chun.
"We believe that with this condition, plus the request you're about to make, and after my reasonable explanation, Brother Liu will definitely believe us."
"Let me make this clear first, I will absolutely not sign the contract to join your organization." Liu Chun seemed to have guessed the outcome, but still picked up the documents on the table and began to look at them.
"No, no, no, Brother Liu has misunderstood." Pang Wenke adjusted his posture, trying his best to get closer to Liu Chun: "Brother Liu, this is actually a script for a movie, and it's a rare male lead role. If you agree to hand over the 'ancient' corpse to us, you can not only enjoy a lot of resources and make a lot of money, but you can also delegate many requests to our organization. Everyone will definitely find a way to help you solve the problem."
A script?
Since finishing her role as "Murong Fu", Liu Chun hasn't actually been waiting for very long. However, according to the pattern in the system novel, her next role should be coming soon. She wonders if this is the script.
With mixed feelings, Liu Chun opened the contract page, and the first thing that caught her eye was the title of the drama, "Lurking".
He knows this show very well. The lead actor is Sun Honglei, and Yu Zecheng is the core character in the TV series "Lurking". As an underground worker, he has mastered a series of special agent skills.
Haha, I can't believe I got this kind of role, especially the rare "protagonist" role. Most people wouldn't be able to take it on.
But who is Liu Chun?
He is a traveler!
It is the system's dominant holder!
It is also the future!
"I feel like if this continues, I'll become the nemesis of some famous leading men. Anyway, if you can act, I can act too, and I have special hardcore channels to get scripts directly."
Liu Chun sneered: "For the sake of different futures, I will have no choice but to resort to violence and ruthlessness."
"This is my era!"
Just when he wondered if the system would provide the role-playing requirement, the other party appeared ahead of time, as if by telepathy.
[Ding! Playable character detected. Character template system unlocked!]

Will you be playing the role?
It's really here!
Liu Chun was pleasantly surprised. He had thought that this role would be like Murong Fu in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," and that it would have to be introduced to him by Liu Yifei.
I never thought this was possible!
"Confirmed to play the role!"
At this time of year in the past, Liu Chun would quickly think of Shu Chang, eager to share her acting skills with her after getting a new role.
However, looking back on what happened, Shu Chang no longer wants to see him.
Amidst her racing thoughts, Liu Chun turned her head and saw Pang Wenke sitting beside her, and a somewhat immature idea suddenly popped into her head.
"...Brother Liu, can you agree to do this and hand over the 'ancient' corpse to us?" Pang Wenke called out Liu Chun's name, afraid that he would change his mind and sell it to someone else.
"Oh!" Liu Chun grinned. "Let me take a look at the contract first. Don't rush, we have plenty of time, right? You'll have dinner at my house tonight."
Later, Liu Chun pulled Pang Wenke aside to go over the lines. Just like with Shu Chang before, the other party was unknowingly drawn into the scene, as if he were actually there, which moved Pang Wenke deeply.
They insisted on doing it all over again with Liu Chun!
"I never expected this!" Pang Wenke had a new perspective on Liu Chun. He was overjoyed, as if he had struck gold. "Brother Liu is not only incredibly talented, but his acting skills are also outstanding. As long as you're in the crew, the male lead position will remain unchanged. I'm telling you."
"Brother Pang is quite extraordinary!" Liu Chun couldn't help but laugh when she recalled how particularly engrossed Pang Wenke was in his role just now.
"Hey, let's not talk about embarrassing things anymore. How about we talk about something cheerful instead?"
Liu Chun knew what the other person was thinking, so she got up and walked towards the bedroom.
In the darkness, he turned on the incandescent light, and then a figure dressed in ancient clothing lay in the corner where garbage was piled up, its entire body intact, as if it had died naturally.
"Here, this is the person. If you were truly investigators from some ancient secret organization, you should easily see that this person is definitely not a fraud, right?"
Pang Wenke's eyes lingered on the other person for a moment, seemingly unintentionally. But when he saw the jade pendant at Xiao Tianxuan's waist, his eyes widened, and he pounced on Xiao Tianxuan on the ground like a hungry wolf.
Wow, they were really from ancient times!
Liu Chun was not as naive as him: "Well, let me tell you, it took me a lot of effort to get him on board. His value is priceless to you, while what you did for me is insignificant."
Pang Wenke nodded repeatedly: "If you have any trouble to deal with later... or if you want to attack the abandoned factory tonight and completely eliminate this force, that's fine too."
However, Liu Chun's thoughts now go far beyond just that!
He thought for a moment, then squatted down and asked earnestly, "Hey, I have a question. I want to know what's inside that black box. Can you answer this on behalf of the organization?"
Upon hearing "black box," Pang Wenke's face turned awkward: "Can't you ask something else, you handsome guy?"
Liu Chun's expression was solemn yet tinged with helplessness: "What? Is this an internal organizational secret, and non-organizational personnel shouldn't know too much about it?"
Pang Wenke nodded with a smile: "This is the biggest event in our organization."
"That's really boring." He looked at Xiao Tianxuan's corpse, feeling somewhat powerless.
"Wait a moment, let me check with the organization, and we should be able to get you a special channel."
Pang Wenke got up, took out his phone, and went to the living room to make a call.
"Brother Liu, the organization has said that it's okay for you to know some inside information. After all, the value of this 'ancient' corpse is enormous, so this little thing is nothing."
Liu Chun remained calm: "That's wonderful."
