Chapter 336: Chapter 336: The Mastermind and New Copy World Characters (Major Chapter, Please Subscribe, Favorite, and Recommend)

As the frenzy continued, the Berserker’s intelligence seemed to decrease, with his strength growing ever stronger, but his attack methods became more simple and direct.

"Hahaha, you damned little bug that can only run away, you are the second person to see my strongest form in these years, you should feel honored, die!"

The last trace of yellow brilliance covered the Berserker’s eyes, and in that instant, his strength and speed doubled, charging towards He Ao ferociously.

That slight gap was bridged in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Noding slightly shook his head and pressed the dial button.

The girl on the street clutched the wall tightly.

The Berserker’s huge grinning head grew larger and larger in He Ao’s field of vision.

He Ao’s lips curled into a smile.

Now is the time.

The main consciousness across half a planet settled on this body.

Accompanied by a faint purple invisible brilliance, it flashed through He Ao’s dark pupils.

Vast Divine Sense overflowed from his mind, bringing everything around him into ’sight’.

Super Memory, activate!

He Ao looked at the Berserker in front of him.

Mental Disturbance!

In that instant, the Berserker’s body froze momentarily.

During that momentary freeze, the refined gentleman in front pulled out the dagger from his waist, and its cold light accurately pierced two centimeters below the Berserker’s heart.

Accompanied by yellow-glowing blood splashing out, the Berserker’s entire body suddenly stiffened.

The huge metal axe fell to the ground, shattering the cemented surface.

Powerful life force feedback surged into He Ao’s body through the Nightfall Dagger.

The point He Ao had just pierced was the intersection of the energy flow within the Berserker’s body, which was also his fatal point.

Although the Nightfall Dagger could not fully absorb the C-level power, the vast amount of flowing energy was still partially converted by the dagger and flowed into He Ao’s body.

He Ao pulled out the dagger, closed his Divine Sense and Super Memory, and took a step forward.

The Berserker’s massive frame leaned forward and fell, narrowly sliding past He Ao from behind.

The sound like a mountain collapsing echoed through the entire street.

He Ao turned around, took out a tissue from his clothes, and wiped the blood splashed on his face.

Then he crouched down and reached into the back pocket of the Berserker’s pants.

At this moment, the mass that was once like a small mountain completely lost its support, spreading on the ground like dirt.

All the bones and blood vessels that supported his body were shattered by the rampaging energy when He Ao hit that convergence point of power.

He Ao pulled out a cell phone from the pocket and dialed the most recent call.

"Hello, is this Lord Berserker?"

A somewhat familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, the very emissary who had just left that morning, "Have you completed the task?"

"I think," He Ao slowly spoke, his voice cold and hoarse traveling through the handset, "the valuation this morning wasn’t quite right. My holdings, they should be worth at least 150 million Golden Shields, don’t you think?"

Dead silence fell on the other end of the phone.

"Remember, exchange it for an equivalent amount of gold."

He Ao hung up the phone and tossed it onto the body of the Berserker, slowly rising to his feet.

With an expression of disbelief, Noding slowly walked back to He Ao’s side. He lifted his head and stared at He Ao dumbly, like a stiff puppet.

"A bit of an adventure, now perhaps we can talk about something deeper," He Ao turned his head, inserted the dagger into his waist,

"Can I now meet the ’big shot’ behind you?"

At that moment, Noding finally understood He Ao’s purpose.

Everything the other party had done was to find Daybreak, to find himself, to find the ’Boss’ behind him.

The other party wanted to join his group.

Being able to kill a Berserker meant possessing a combat power close to, but just below, B-level.

This was among the most elite combat powers in the entire world.

With such a powerful addition, their group’s strength would soar.

After a brief contemplation, he turned to He Ao, "Just give me a moment."

Then he walked away with the satellite phone.

He Ao watched his retreating figure and revealed a smile.

The design of the past two days had reached the final stage of harvesting the fruits.

Hu Wen had a clean identity, a fugitive being hunted by the Research Institute, and was unlikely to be their mole, so he was also worth trusting.

Before this time, although Daybreak had also committed bad deeds, there was always a limit; they never offended any major organization and kept their power within a reasonable extent.

After shrinking back for so many years, Daybreak made a bold move, directly striking the strongest Research Institute in the world.

If Daybreak hadn’t gone mad, then it meant that they had recently gained some sort of powerful force that allowed them, to a certain extent, to not fear major organizations like the Research Institute.

And the holder of this power was most likely the person behind the scenes directing this incident, also whom He Ao had guessed— the one who took away the Central Processor from the Relic Tower ten years ago.

He must have acquired some new knowledge from the Central Processor, so that he had the courage to challenge the world order.

And for a burgeoning force that wanted to challenge the world order, strong fresh blood was desperately needed.

Therefore, ’Hu Wen’ joining at this time had a high probability of being accepted.

But how to display one’s strength?

He Ao couldn’t just randomly find a strong individual to kill, so the Tia Empire came into his view.

Actually, in the original plan, He Ao thought the Tia Empire’s envoy would come even later, and he even prepared a plan to delay Noding.

But the Tia Empire came first, which unexpectedly sped up He Ao’s progress.

He Ao didn’t particularly take their money. The industries worth a hundred million Golden Shields were what they claimed, and relying on the Tia Empire’s strength, it was not necessarily impossible to take back the industries, although it might take a bit longer; He Ao gave them one year’s time.

But indeed, the Tia Empire was used to being overbearing. Faced with a threat, they wanted to kill to maintain authority, and they immediately sent a C-level.

Now He Ao had his prey to showcase his strength.

Of course, if He Ao directly went to them and said I want to join you, he would definitely be judged as having ulterior motives, so He Ao made a cover story, which was ’needing money’.

From demanding the return of properties from the Coastline Defense Force to selling the properties at a good price, to the recent killing of the Berserker and demanding more money.

He Ao hadn’t stated it explicitly, but he had reinforced a concept—that he was in desperate need of money, and for that, he didn’t mind using some special methods.

With Noding’s sharpness, it was obvious that he could grasp such a concept.

And this also connected back to the previous event where Daybreak hired Hu Wen with ten million Central Earth Currency.

It deepened that impression even further.

Handing over one’s ’weakness’ directly would seem deliberate, but he could reasonably allow others to ’discover’ it themselves.

About half an hour later, Noding came back and handed over the phone,

"Boss wants to talk to you."

He Ao took the phone, which was connecting to a video call. On the other end of the video was a man wearing a mechanical mask.

Indeed,

The individual was neither Leader of the Daybreak nor Jeno.

Those two didn’t need masks to hide their identities.

Daybreak was concealing a third B-level powerholder.

He Ao felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

The reason he had been persistently trying to confirm the identity of this ’Boss’ was because the two B-levels of Daybreak behaved very differently from the personality of the person he had hypothesized had entered the tower.

He Ao felt that person should be very similar to himself, meticulous and cautious, whereas the two public B-levels from Daybreak were more direct in their approach.

Therefore, he speculated that probably a third person was hiding in the shadows, remotely controlling a part of Daybreak’s power, and this third person was the one he was looking for.

Facts proved he was right.

He Ao looked at the Boss in the video.

The biggest problem he might encounter at the moment was,

The unnaturalness of the Puppet Crystal Ball’s control.

Since the Puppet Crystal Ball had originated from this ’Boss’, the other party should be very clear about the effect of the Puppet Crystal Ball.

The pre-upgraded Puppet Crystal Ball made the controlled person exhibit very obvious unnaturalness; it might not be noticeable at a cursory glance, but experienced individuals would definitely spot the signs upon careful observation.

Coupled with the subtle changes in Hu Wen’s behavior recently, it could easily lead one to think of the Puppet Crystal Ball.

However, the Puppet Crystal Ball cannot increase a person’s strength; in fact, due to the lack of coordination, it would lead to a slight decrease in strength, which didn’t match Hu Wen’s dramatic increase in power.

Moreover, after He Ao used the Soul upgrade, the Puppet Crystal Ball was now able to bring forth the primary consciousness, removing that slight dissonance.

Then, He Ao shifted all his attention to the ’adventure’.

Adventures can also alter a person’s personality, after all, it’s no secret that Transcendent abilities change one’s nature, and adventures belong to that category which cannot be questioned, perfectly covering up the issue.

The masked man in the video seemed to be watching He Ao since he took the call, as if determining whether He Ao was the person controlled by the Puppet Crystal Ball.

At the same time, the other party laughed softly, "It appears the Tomb Guardian is thoroughly dead."

He Ao was suddenly startled.

Is there a problem with my disguise?

No, that’s not likely.

The other party is bluffing me!

Old fox!

He quickly regained his composure, his expression unaltered; the other party’s tone was pretending to converse with Noding but in reality was trying to deceit him.

At this time, any expression or response would be incorrect; maintaining the composure of an uninvolved bystander was all that was necessary.

"Yes."

Noding responded softly, positioning the phone towards He Ao, "Boss, this is Mr. Hu Wen."

"Oh, oh, Hu Wen," the Boss seemed to now notice He Ao, excitedly speaking, "Heard you want to join us, an utmost honor indeed..."

"How much are you going to pay."

He Ao spoke calmly and composedly, also activating Super Memory to record the details of the masked man.

"Still according to the original procedure, twenty million per mission, additional tasks calculated separately - how does that sound?"

The Boss proposed.

"Thirty million."

He Ao calmly stated.

"But..."

But before the Boss could finish speaking,

He Ao continued nonchalantly, "Per move."

"This..."

The Boss seemed somewhat hesitant.

On the side, Noding promptly spoke up, "Boss, the Berserker died in one move."

"Okay," the Boss looked at He Ao, "Mr. Hu Wen, it’s a deal then!"

"Mhm," He Ao didn’t engage in the back and forth between the two, simply nodding slowly, then said softly, "Remember to settle the last ten million. Change the payment method, give me gold directly."

He Ao could not remember the previous payment method.

"Alright."

The other side nodded, "If there’s anything you need, feel free to contact Noding."

"Alright."

He Ao also nodded.

Subsequently, the communication was cut off.

The next step: find that elusive guy who showed his face.

Noding and He Ao exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Noding left.

At one in the afternoon,

He Ao returned to the pirate ship.

He found a secluded cabin, closed the door,

——

At the Xidu home

He Ao himself made sure the doors and windows were secured, then sat down in front of the dining room.
