Chapter 298: Taking Advantage of the Situation (Additional Update 2/3 for Yu Peixi)

Wen Nan guessed that Yoon Ji-eun had this special skill because he had doubts after he saw the introduction of his character's background from Yoon Ji-eun shortly after they met.

In that introduction, there was a part describing Yoon Ji-eun’s specialty——

[As a student majoring in digital media, Yoon Ji-eun is very good at modeling. He likes to see the characters he designed appear in the game vividly. ]

In fact, the background introduction of each character is often not necessarily what the character appears to be on the surface, but more like a reflection of each character's special identity, personality, and skills.

Just like in Wen Nan’s introduction, he said that he likes to speculate in cryptocurrencies, ride horses, and raise fish. Obviously, he doesn’t speculate in real cryptocurrencies, ride real horses, or raise real fish.

In this introduction about Yoon Ji-eun, it is said that he likes to see the characters he designed appear in the game. This is definitely not to say that Yoon Ji-eun is really good at modeling.

This introduction hints at Yoon Ji-eun's skills, which can build a new set of skins for players or characters in the dungeon, allowing them to change their appearance according to Yoon Ji-eun's wishes.

This also explains the question Yang Mingzhong raised earlier -

It is clear that in this kind of faction confrontation copy, each player has a preset identity and a set of appearance tailored for him or her. It is not allowed to change the appearance with props or equipment. Why can Wei Zhe disguise himself as the president of the [Ghost Master Alliance]?
Because he didn't rely on equipment or props to change his appearance, he used Yoon Ji-eun's skills to disguise himself.

In fact, after Wen Nan guessed that Wei Zhe was not the president of the [Ghost Master Alliance] Guild, he had doubts in his heart -

President Carl was cunning and cautious enough, so even though he got the news and knew that there might be clues to the sheath of the divine staff in this copy, he did not show up in person. Instead, he sent his capable subordinates to explore the way, and even handed over his most precious fragment of the divine staff to that capable subordinate.

But isn't he afraid that this subordinate will fail to pass the level?
In this copy, the only person known to have obtained the identity card of [Traitor] is Wei Zhe.

However, in reality, the difficulty of clearing this dungeon is not the same for every player. It is actually much more difficult for [Traitor] to clear the dungeon than for [Loyal Minister] and [Assassin]—

[Loyal Ministers] only need to protect the Queen, and [Assassin] only needs to assassinate the Queen. However, [Treacherous Ministers] not only have to kill the [Queen] and the [Princess], but also all the [Loyal Ministers]. The difficulty of clearing the level is obviously higher than that of other camps.

President Carl lent his treasure fragments to Wei Zhe, the [traitor]. Isn't he worried that Wei Zhe won't be able to pass the level successfully?

Of course he was still worried, so he set up a "risk hedging" method for himself - placing his people in the [loyal] camp.

In fact, this matter can also be seen in the introduction of Yin Zhien's role. In the background, there is such a passage:

[Not long ago, he received a mission that required his absolute loyalty, but he could not complete it alone. For this reason, Yin Zhien had to constantly wander around the campus, constantly searching for his own allies.]

At first glance, this description sounds very much like a description of a "loyal minister," but it is not the case.

In fact, there is no need for [loyal ministers] to find allies. Theoretically, [loyal ministers] only need to confirm the identity of the queen and do a good job of protecting the queen to successfully complete the ceremony. During the completion of the task, there is no need for [loyal ministers] to identify each other and cooperate with each other.

This background introduction actually implies that although Yoon Ji-eun is a [loyal minister], because of her identity as a member of the [Ghost Tamer Alliance] guild, she accepted the president's task off-site and must assist the [traitor] in achieving victory.

Of course, Wen Nan did not intend to clarify all these details to Yin Zhien one by one.

The other party is on the evil side. This is now a clear fact and there is no room for argument.

Apparently, Yoon Ji-eun herself is aware of this.

Moreover, having come this far, even if her identity was revealed, Yin Zhien had nothing to fear—

The president lent the fragment of the magic wand to Wei Zhe and gave Yin Zhien this indestructible cage. The purpose was to ensure that the two people could respectively carry out their tasks to the end in the two camps.

And now, Yoon Ji-eun's mission is almost successful.

"Hahaha," Yoon Ji-eun looked at Wen Nan with a sinister smile as if her conspiracy had succeeded, "What's the point of you telling me all this now and just arguing? I've already won! My goal has been achieved!
“Ye Jiu, no matter how smart you are, what’s the point of guessing my position and motives?
"Didn't you make the most wrong decision at the most critical moment? You asked the other two to escort Li Fang, who was disguised as 'Wu Qing', to the ceremony site, but you personally escorted Wu Qing, who had disguised himself as 'Li Fang', deep into the enemy's stronghold. The moment you made this decision, you had already lost!
“Speaking of which, I have to thank you for helping me so much. The president gave me such an indestructible treasure. Even Jun Wuming’s Root Breaking Slash can’t break it in the first place. However, there is a big problem with this thing. It is very cumbersome to carry and set up. So I was originally worried about it. What if the trick I set up fails and I can’t trick the queen into falling into the trap? What should I do?
"I am [Loyal Minister]. If [Loyal Minister] wants to attack the Queen, the system will warn me and cause strong interference, which makes it difficult for me to kill the Queen directly. I originally hoped that [Assassin] would do it for me, but who knew that he deliberately delayed time and had been in cahoots with you all for a long time!
“Originally, Wei Zhe and I were working together, but that wimp was useless. He was killed before the last mission was completed. This put me in a very passive position for a while.

"Fortunately, you helped me at the last critical moment - it was your suspicion of me that made you come to this base in person, wanting to see what I was up to, right?
"What a pity! You are too clever for your own good. You thought you could have a showdown with me here to clarify our identities, right? However, I have already replaced the queen, and now the queen has been dragged into this and is forced to be trapped here with us.

“Even if you reveal my identity now, what’s the point?
"The ceremony will begin soon. The queen cannot escape from this cage. The loyal minister's mission is doomed to fail. "Even if I let you win the argument now, what's the point for you? You cannot win this copy. Wait for death, idiot, hahahaha!"

Wen Nan looked at Yin Zhien's ugly smile after she succeeded. Instead of being angered by her, a look of pity and sympathy appeared on his face. He sighed and shook his head.

Seeing Wen Nan's expression, Yin Zhien's smile faded and she said angrily, "What's that expression on your face? You're about to die, and you still don't accept it?"

Wen Nan looked at him helplessly and asked, "Too clever is foolish. I think it would be more appropriate to say this about yourself now."

Yin Zhien's face suddenly turned dark, and she had a very bad feeling in her heart, "W-what do you mean?!"

Wen Nan looked at him in disbelief, "You don't really think that I was stupid enough to fall into your trap even though I had already seen that there was something wrong with you, did you?"

“…What?” Yoon Ji-eun’s face turned from black to white, “You, you are in my trap now!”

"Hey, I saw you were quite clever before, but now you are not so clever anymore? Are you pretending to be clever before?"

Wen Nan sighed and shook his head, his face full of regret, "Do you really think that this cage is used to trap the queen? You are too naive."

At this point, Wen Nan laughed and paused for a moment. The words he said made the last trace of blood on Yin Zhien's face fade away completely.

"I have been cooperating with you in acting until now, and my purpose is to use your own cage to trap you, Xiao Yin."

Seeing Wen Nan's confident look, Yin Zhien fell into confusion and self-doubt. After a long silence, he shook his head.

"Impossible, are you kidding me? You use this cage to trap me, what's the point? The queen is here now, there is no way you can complete the mission!"

Wen Nan raised his hand calmly and took a look at the control pattern on his palm. A golden light flashed on the circular pattern.

Seeing the golden light, Yin Zhien's eyes widened in shock, "Golden control pattern? You actually have such a rare control pattern?!"

After being shocked, Yin Zhien laughed again, "Hahaha, you don't just want to use this control pattern to summon reinforcements, do you?
“Yes, the golden control pattern does have the highest teleportation authority, and it can indeed allow slaves outside to be teleported in.

"But, I've already said this, right? This cage is made of metal that is said to have been fused with the sheath of the divine staff. It is indestructible. Even if Jun Wuming comes here and wants to break the cage, it will take at least several hours. Even if you can get out, you won't be able to make it in time for the ceremony! Admit defeat!"

Wen Nan looked at Yin Zhien in confusion, "Who said I want to summon Jun Wuming?"

Yin Zhien was choked, "Then why are you looking at the pattern?"

Wen Nan shrugged, "I just want to know if the ceremony went smoothly."

Having said that, he actually sent a message to Yu Shujun in front of Yoon Ji-eun, asking about the situation.

The other party quickly replied: [The canonization is in progress, everything is going well, the ceremony will be held soon. 】

Wen Nan repeated the news to Yin Zhien.

Yin Zhien shouted angrily: "You are a liar! You teamed up with your slave to deceive me! The queen was not present at the scene, and the throne would not recognize the identity of Li Fang, the imposter, and the copy system would not be able to determine that the ceremony was carried out normally!"

Wen Nan looked at Yin Zhien with an increasingly puzzled look, "Who said that it was Li Fang who held the ceremony?"

When Yin Zhien heard this, she was speechless. She followed the other person's words with a confused look on her face and asked, "If it's not Li Fang in disguise as the queen? Then... who else could it be?"

"Of course, the new queen."

"What? A new...queen?"
