Chapter 11

Taking advantage of the sky not being fully bright yet, Sun Youxue was sent to a nearby Home Inn. Ye Yun bought her a whole set of clothes and got himself a new phone and a SIM card. After exchanging contact information, Ye Yun left under Sun Youxue's tearful gaze.

He couldn't afford to have any entanglements with this woman. However, taking her virginity made Ye Yun feel guilty, and he could only hope that Sun Youxue would encounter some trouble that he could help solve, to repay the favor.

As for truly falling in love... Ye Yun's life wasn't luxurious enough for that. He knew he couldn't give Sun Youxue anything besides money... But when he wanted to leave Wu Tianyun's money with her, Sun Youxue refused.

"Are you taking me for that kind of woman?"

Sun Youxue's pitiful tear-streaked face made Ye Yun cover his face and flee.

Leaving the hotel, Ye Yun immediately found an internet cafe.

According to the information provided by the "Secret Codex," the date August 27, 2019, was just four days away. In theory, the faction route choice given by the "Secret Codex" was based on the occurrence of a 'major event.' Therefore, before entering the mission, Ye Yun had to figure out what this 'major event' was.

Entering keywords like 'N City,' 'DiHao,' and 'August 27,' Ye Yun's eyes lit up.

"The 7th Asian Jewelry Exhibition will be held at the DiHao Hotel in N City on the 27th of this month."

From this news, Ye Yun敏锐地 found new keywords.

Jewelry exhibition! 27.3 billion yuan worth of jewelry! 141 celebrities ranked in the top 500 of global personal wealth were invited to attend!

Most crucially: The exhibition would be held on the 43rd floor of the DiHao Hotel!

With such a lineup of wealthy individuals and such a huge amount of wealth, it was easy to imagine that the security would be extremely strong!

But precisely because the security was strong, if the bandits wanted to engage in a battle, wouldn't it certainly trigger a 'major event'? And the CT and T sides participating in this major event would likely have considerable strength and ranks... After all, if such a jewelry exhibition were to be disrupted, the impact would be no less than a plane crashing into a building!

A sense of anticipation arose in his heart, and Ye Yun's thin lips were tightly pressed together.

Join in!

This would allow him to see the strength of the top players in the current game and also complete his faction route choice!

Just as he made this decision, the game system's voice sounded in his mind: "Player Ye Yun has discovered a major event-level mission. Do you want to join?"

"Warning: Joining this major event mission will require replacing a regular mission. The second regular mission seven days later will be canceled and converted into the major event mission four days later, and the regular mission cycle will be reset to seven days after the major event."

"Warning: The major event mission is extremely lethal for players below the rank of Lieutenant, with a survival rate below 5%. Once you accept this mission, you cannot cancel or abandon it midway."

"Do you accept?"

Ye Yun gritted his teeth; sometimes, risking everything was for a better life.

Accept!

"Player accepts unknown major event mission!!!"

"Major event mission triggered! Name unknown!"

"Mission difficulty: S-level."

"Mission time limit: None."

"Mission objective: Survive the major event."

"Mission reward: 5000 game points, 2 B-level merit badges!"

"Mission additional reward: Unknown."

"Failure penalty: None."

"Mission hint: Knowing that a major event will be triggered at a certain time and place, you decide to join. Your perspective is like a bacterium on a parasite on a frog at the bottom of a well, and this is a good opportunity to broaden your horizons. However, your strength is even inferior to some non-player characters in the major event, so surviving this catastrophe is already a significant achievement. The system gives you the lowest mission requirement as a reward for your courage and foolishness."

"System message: You are truly overestimating yourself. I have no expectations for your survival."

"Go all out!" Ye Yun's eyes were resolute: "I must..."

"Faction main mission triggered!"

A prompt interrupted his oath.

"Faction main mission one: The Path."

"Mission difficulty: E."

"Mission time limit: One hour before the major event starts."

"Mission objective (optional): 1. Before the major event starts, find the organization that will join this mission and accept their task; 2. Find a way to infiltrate the hotel, any way possible."

"Mission reward: Unknown."

"Failure penalty: Considered a failure of the major event mission, unable to join the major event."

"Mission hint: You can choose to join an organization, and they will give you a task (which won't be too difficult), and they will protect you (though not necessarily in critical moments). At least, you 'found an organization.' You can also choose to act alone, but with your strength, you are destined to be crushed in the major event."

"System message: Mr. Corporal, wanting to take on the faction main mission now means you will soon want to buy a treasure called 'regret pill.'"

Undoubtedly, choosing to find an 'organization' was essentially choosing the 'Lawful Evil' (LE) path, while entering the hotel alone could trigger subsequent path branches 'Neutral Evil' (NE) and 'Chaotic Evil' (CE).

Ye Yun's goal was Neutral Evil (NE), so how to infiltrate the DiHao Hotel became the most urgent issue.

The DiHao Hotel was one of the few ultra-luxury platinum hotels in the country, and it was hosting a jewelry exhibition at the 'Asian' level, so the review process would be strict and meticulous.

If it were with Ye Yun's status from yesterday, he probably wouldn't even be able to stay in the underground garage. Now, although he had over three million from Wu Tianyun, his age was a problem. With just an ID card and suddenly acquired wealth, he likely wouldn't even pass the review.

But if he wanted to work there, it would also be difficult. In a hotel of that caliber, male servers without a college degree couldn't even work on floors above the fifth, and female servers, even those with the looks of a popular idol, would likely only work on floors below the tenth.

So... how could he get in and stay until four days later?

Rapidly browsing through the list of invited guests and checking their backgrounds, Ye Yun had an idea.

...

6:00 PM.

Hong Kong, Wanchai District, Lung Loong Street, Wu's Tea Restaurant.

Wu's Tea Restaurant was a century-old establishment in Wanchai with authentic flavors. It was located west of Wanchai Gorge and southeast of Victoria Peak, a residential area for Hong Kong's wealthy. Business was naturally booming, especially among the wealthy living in the Victoria Peak villa area, who often visited.

On this day, it was again the busiest time in the afternoon. Three men and one woman walked in from outside.

Since Wu's was taken over by a Hong Kong criminal group a few years ago, business had declined somewhat, mainly because older wealthy merchants disliked the environment and came less often.

However, habits are hard to change. Even if they didn't come in person, the older people would send their grandchildren to buy takeout or order delivery. Additionally, the older generation liked to bring their grandchildren to dinner, so the younger generation naturally developed a habit of having afternoon tea at a fixed place.

Among the four who entered, the woman dressed in trendy non-mainstream smoky makeup was one of the younger generations of wealthy families who had developed this 'old-fashioned habit.'

Xu Yanan, currently the most famous 'charming figure' in the country, was known as the 'National Lover' on Weibo, while others were called 'National Husband' or 'National Father-in-Law.'

Why was she called the 'National Lover'? Because while others were high-end and sophisticated, she was high-profile and down-to-earth... As long as the other person was a man and looked decent, they could climb into her bed. She played the role of being close to the people, whether it was the commoner route or the wealthy route, she was always 66666.
