Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards

Chapter 779 - 488: Attempt_2

"That’s the logic... but why are you so proactive? Does it really matter to you who controls the base?"

Suddenly, Wang Zhifan raised this critical question.

Because the clerk in front of him didn’t seem like an ordinary NPC. For most NPCs, it would be hard to say how loyal they are to the so-called headquarters—after all, work is work, and it doesn’t really matter who they work under.

"Because I’m the most senior employee in the base, and I can’t accept being betrayed."

The green-skinned clerk immediately responded without hesitation, as if predicting Wang Zhifan would ask this question.

But Wang Zhifan just smirked and responded sharply:

"Haha! Stop pretending, kid. It’s been so long, do you really think I don’t know you’re a player? And a summoning type, no less!"

It turned out that, over the past half month, Wang Zhifan had used Dream Me Avatar and other means to explore many areas of the base, with the base’s store being a key point of interest.

He had long discovered that the green-skinned store clerk was just a puppet, with a player hiding behind it, undoubtedly an SVIP player like himself.

As soon as his words exposed the truth, the green-skinned clerk’s eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn’t lose his composure. The person controlling the puppet simply shook his head and responded helplessly:

"So Mr. Wang, you’ve already figured it out... There’s nothing more to say. With this sudden change in the mission, unity is of utmost importance. Otherwise, if another organization controls the base, our mission can never be completed."

"You think the same as I do; this is undoubtedly the real challenge of this mission. But I have my own crisis handling methods and don’t need to wait for rescue from headquarters."

With that, Wang Zhifan’s figure disappeared in front of the green-skinned clerk.

"What a mysterious guy... good thing I didn’t trick him before..."

The green-skinned clerk seemed slightly relieved in the face of this scene, or rather, the player controlling the puppet relaxed.

The reason was that once Wang Zhifan uncovered his identity, the dynamics between them changed.

He clearly remembered that during the past half month, when interacting with Wang Zhifan in the store, he often tried to trick him into trading equipment for valuable items.

Such behavior, as far as players are concerned, was quite malicious. Fortunately, Wang Zhifan never fell for it, preventing their relationship from becoming adversarial.

"I need to hide this puppet avatar for a while. Those Freedom Organization guys actually want me to leave the store to collaborate on their experiments... my half-month performance would be wasted!"

Since Wang Zhifan chose not to cooperate, the player saw no point in lingering and planned to keep the avatar hidden.

Because if he let the avatar cooperate with outsiders, he would definitely not be able to complete this month’s performance, so he couldn’t afford to lose the clerk’s identity—he had to hang on to his position.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhifan had used his dream powers to transfer to the base chief’s office.

Originally, he planned to come straight to the office to confront them, but halfway through, another player tipped him off, so he diverted another avatar to check the chief’s office.

It turned out the tip-off was true. The previous white-haired old man had been replaced by a middle-aged woman with silver hair in the base chief’s office.

When his true self suddenly appeared in such a critical place, it frightened the new leader and the armed guards present, making them want to attack immediately, but he subdued them on the spot.

"Woman, are you the new leader? I need your help with something."

At this moment, while using ice power to control everyone present, Wang Zhifan looked at the silver-haired middle-aged woman and spoke.

"Sir, whatever you need, feel free to say it. Our Interstellar Freedom Organization respects everyone’s wishes."

Seeing the mysterious visitor had a request, the silver-haired middle-aged woman immediately regained some composure.

What she feared most was an irrationally powerful madman, but the fact that the strong man before her had requirements proved he wasn’t truly mad.

"I need you to announce that the monthly performance targets for all mining teams are halved, and end this month’s mining operations immediately."

Wang Zhifan then stated his demand, making it clear that he came here to achieve the mission goal, not to pursue unrelated matters.

After hearing him out, the silver-haired middle-aged woman’s eyes visibly relaxed a bit, then she smiled and responded:

"Sir, we have a better solution.

In fact, our Interstellar Freedom Organization is different from Kai Bo Company. We don’t need low-efficiency, manual mining industries.

Starting today, you all no longer need to mine. You will receive new tasks and join the great endeavor of researching and developing this miraculous planet..."

"Enough, announce officially what I just said, or you’ll know what regret means."

Wang Zhifan interrupted the woman’s rambling after hearing a couple of sentences, because she didn’t understand his intention and kept talking about irrelevant things.

"Sir, your previous request is meaningless. We’ve already decided to cancel mining work..."

The woman, even when threatened, didn’t understand the seriousness and continued explaining stubbornly.

Boom!

Immediately, as she spoke, the bodies of the armed guards in the same room exploded collectively, turning into ice shards on the ground, causing the woman to become extremely terrified.

"Have you seen this? Announce what I said quickly! Or you will end up like those pieces on the ground!"

Out of patience, Wang Zhifan issued his final ultimatum, his cold gaze fixed on the middle-aged woman as though she might die the next second.

"Sir, please don’t get excited! I will arrange it as you said right away!"

At this point, the woman dared not waste any more words; she hurriedly activated the base’s broadcast system to announce the halving of mining targets and the early termination of mining work, not daring to show any neglect.

During this time, Wang Zhifan’s cold eyes remained fixed on her as she completed the entire process, his brow furrowing again afterward.

"The extraordinary game indeed showed no reaction... Is it that her method is wrong, or is it because her identity as an outsider simply doesn’t work..."

With such thoughts, outside the base chief’s office, armed forces had already surrounded it. They were dressed in peculiar combat gear, approaching cautiously while issuing a warning to Wang Zhifan:

"Powers inside, please remain calm! Any resistance will lead to destruction! You must cease your attack..."

"Too much nonsense!"

Having already sensed that he was surrounded, Wang Zhifan felt a bit annoyed, instantly unleashing an ice power area attack.

But this time, the enemies had seemingly found some counters, preventing him from killing them all instantly.
