Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 346 Wang Xianzhi's Secret
"Where will Ms. Wang Xianzhi's new product launch be held?"

Wu Wang changed his mind and decided to meet this suspected player directly.

After all, his mission here was, for the time being, to assassinate the other party.

If it were just an ordinary NPC, Wu Wang might actually have taken action.

But it's different for players.

He can first check out the other party's dungeon strategy.

Then take action.

"So you're a businessman who came from out of town to attend the new product launch. Walk to the end of this street, then turn left and you'll see a unique building; that's the launch venue." After saying this, the guard turned back to watch the fight on the stage.

For these guys who have nothing to do all day.

This kind of exciting and bloody performance is obviously very visually impactful.

Especially after having suffered enough oppression in the past.

Now, all it takes is a small tip of copper coins to get others to obey your commands.

This feeling is simply not too good.

Wu did not linger in this place for long.

Riding the Corruption Demon, they headed towards the place the other party had mentioned.

Along the way, he saw all sorts of things on the street that didn't belong here.

For example, there are exquisite and unique glass products, children playing with Luban locks, and hot pot restaurants that are still attracting customers with steaming hot pots... even yin-yang pots.

Clearly, these are all changes that Wang Xianzhi brought to the Sego Castle.

However, she made so many changes.

Yet they are still searching for a way out in the dungeon.

This made Wu Wang even more suspicious.

"The key to the dungeon... might not just be the changes?"

While he was still pondering the specifics, the Corruption Demon spoke up: "Is this the place you're looking for? It certainly is quite unique."

Look up in the direction of the pollution demon's finger.

There stood a building that was completely different from the surrounding medieval style, and was more like a modern office building.

It's obvious without even asking that this is Wang Xianzhi's masterpiece.

He handed the scalped tickets he had bought to the security personnel at the entrance.

After the other party put a muzzle over the hideous crocodile mouth of the Corruption Demon.

The human and the demon were then allowed in.

Since Wang Xianzhi's office was upstairs, the press conference was held in the lobby on the first floor.

Therefore, they were not qualified to go up.

I found a seat in the lobby and looked around at the crowd entering.

From street vendors to business tycoons; from bards to witchers clad in the same corrupted demon coats; from simply dressed farmers to ornately dressed royal nobles…

It seems that people from all walks of life came here to watch Wang Xianzhi's new product launch.

"Hmm? Weren't the royal nobles expelled from Sego Castle?" the Corruption Demon couldn't help but ask Wu Wang.

Before Wu Wang could even voice his speculation...

Suddenly, a woman with fair skin approached him.

She sat down next to Wu Wang and said calmly, "These are nobles from other castles who are just here to do business. Their purchasing power is more exaggerated than you can imagine."

These words piqued Wu Wang's interest.

It wasn't because of what she said; Wu Wang himself could have guessed those things.

The main problem is that the other party answered a question about the pollution demon!
I never expected that I would be the only one left out.

There are actually people who can understand what the pollution demon is saying!
"Don't look at me like that. Compared to being able to understand the Corruption Demon's speech, it's stranger for a Demon Hunter to use a Corruption Demon as a mount." The woman made no attempt to hide her abilities.

Wu Wang carefully examined the woman.

She wore a velvet robe with satin gloves, and her neck was adorned with a string of dark blue and gilded glass beads. Her hair was also meticulously styled and even braided with gold threads, making her look incredibly noble.

It's obvious that this woman didn't come from the lower class.

Could it be that she is also a royal noble from another castle who came to do business?

However, Wu Wang quickly overturned this idea.

He noticed that the royal nobles seemed unwilling to sit close to the common people.

They sat together in the area on the left side of the venue.

He even bought extra tickets to create a row of empty chairs between himself and the common people.

To separate themselves from them.

It's as childish as the line drawn between classmates in elementary school.

This was the pride of those royal nobles.

The woman next to Wu Wang, who appeared to be dressed in expensive clothes, sat in the commoners' area without any apparent concern.

Even as the two of them were exchanging those few words...

A little child ran past her, tripped and fell, leaving a dark footprint on the woman's skirt.

Just as the other parent, in a state of extreme panic, came forward to apologize.

The woman simply shook her head and said, "It's alright, as long as the child isn't hurt."

She then rolled up a section of her skirt, hugged it to her chest, and sat down, completely disregarding her image.

Royal nobles would never behave this way.

Looking at Wu Wang's strange expression.

She rolled her eyes and said, "I have a family, don't even think about it."

Most likely, they thought Wu Wang was planning to strike up a conversation with her.

But Wu Wang just shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. I was just curious why you would wear this kind of clothing to a place like this if you're not used to it."

He also noticed that the other person was moving their ankles intentionally or unintentionally when they sat down.

It seems that those high heels didn't fit properly.

Although her hands were covered by satin gloves, the strong and powerful forearms that were inadvertently revealed when she lifted her skirt showed that she was a person who had been in a state of constant exercise and was not just a pretty face.

"This is a formal occasion, after all. Dressing too casually would be disrespectful." The woman rolled her eyes at Wu Wang and said, "Don't you think so, Witcher?"

It's obvious she wasn't just referring to herself.

Because Wu Wang looked rather disheveled at this moment.

Jessie's scarlet cloak and the corrupted demon fur clothing were originally designed for hunting.

Primarily focused on comfort and defense.

In terms of appearance, it naturally doesn't conform to mainstream aesthetics.
In addition, they had just spent a few days living a primitive life in the wilderness.

His travel-worn appearance made him look like a refugee fleeing a disaster.

In response, Wu Wang shrugged and changed the subject: "It's all about freedom of dress, what's your name?"

“I’m a local.” The woman didn’t give a direct answer.

But that's pretty much the answer.

After all, Wu Wang had heard about it from the guards before.

In the past, all the men in Saige Castle were called Wang Fugui.

All the women were named Wang Cuihua.

As the two chatted, it was time for the press conference to begin.

After everyone was seated, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed.

Only the central stage was illuminated by concentrated light, as bright as day.

Of course, there was no such thing as an electric light in this medieval context.

It simply involved closing all the curtains around the room.

Then blow out the excess kerosene lamps and candles.

Finally, use a large number of mirrors or other objects that can reflect light to adjust the angle and concentrate the specific light rays on the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ms. Xian's new product launch!"

The host was a guy with an incredibly loud voice.

He extended a warm welcome to everyone present with great enthusiasm.

He then took the items handed to him by his assistant and placed them on the display stand. He began to introduce them one by one.

However, the accent and broken English made Wu Wang a little uncomfortable.

This guy looks like a relative of Wang Xianzhi's dark-skinned sister. Could it be that the way he speaks as a host was taught by him?

The items displayed on the stand were also quite sophisticated.

"Soap...sugar...soy sauce and vinegar?"

"Isn't it excessive to include both distilled spirits and chili products?"

The boy selling scalped tickets outside the door did not deceive Wu Wang.

This new product launch is indeed closely related to daily life.

However, Wu Wang couldn't help but inwardly complain about the things Wang Xianzhi had come up with:
"Isn't this just like in novels or TV dramas where the protagonist travels back to ancient times and, besides being a plagiarist copying Li Bai and Du Fu's poems, the protagonist has to master some refining techniques?"

"Are you trying to pull the typical time-travel drama routine on me?"

After showcasing the new food and beverage products.

The guy who had become invisible while standing out of the light took out other items and put them on display.

Instantly, a refreshing fragrance filled the entire venue.

Even royalty and nobles accustomed to incense couldn't help but be captivated by it, closing their eyes to savor the unique aroma.

Some even exclaimed, "This flavor should only exist in heaven; how often can one smell it on earth?"

Faced with the exaggerated praise from those around him.

Wu Wang suspected that they were shills hired by Wang Xianzhi to inflate prices so that they could be sold to the royal family and nobles at higher prices.

They were able to determine what it was immediately.

"Floral water?"

"It should be made by purifying plant essential oils with alcohol."

"Although this level of refining is somewhat rudimentary by modern standards, it is truly an unprecedented gift from heaven for this medieval castle."

As more and more new products are unveiled.

Even Wu Wang had to admit that Wang Xianzhi's knowledge was astonishing.

Although there are many such plots in modern novels and TV dramas.

But in reality, not many people can actually remember the refining techniques for these things.

Moreover, many of these processes don't even belong to the same field.

For example, the improvements made to these everyday items are completely different from the construction techniques used to build this office building.

Wu Wang could tell at a glance.

This building was not constructed in the simple way of the Middle Ages, where stones were simply glued together and piled up.

Instead, more advanced construction techniques were adopted.

The material is similar to the three-in-one soil of China, and it is constructed by layering and ramming.

"I never expected that there would be someone so bored besides me." Wu Wang smiled helplessly and sighed, "He knows a little about everything. It seems I've met my match."

At least the other party had already used the method that Wu Wang initially planned to try.

That's right, by using various futuristic technologies to leapfrog the technological level of the castle, the entire plot of the story will be changed.

Wu Wang had also considered this method.

He originally thought that Wang Xianzhi just happened to know how to refine fine salt.

Then I can also try my hand at various fields such as architecture and military.

Unfortunately, this can also be seen from the reform of the economic system and the improvement of urban laws.

The other person seems to be a well-rounded talent, just like me.

Wu Wang's expression became increasingly interesting.

The woman next to him yawned and asked, "What do you think of these things?"

"It's passable, just a bit stiff," Wu Wang said, raising an eyebrow.

From his perspective, there is still room for improvement in these areas.

Given enough time, Wu Wang felt that it was not impossible for him to develop a rudimentary form of modern civilization from scratch.

"Oh? What are your thoughts?"

Compared to the items on the display stand, the woman seemed more interested in Wu Wang.

Unfortunately, Wu Wang did not offer any further insights into the craft.

He just shook his head and sighed, "I wasn't referring to the craftsmanship, but rather the fact that Wang Xianzhi was able to make so many changes to the Sego Castle."

"Why didn't she consider expansion and conquer other castles?"

"Or perhaps, she hasn't noticed all this time—"

"Didn't I make any changes to the castle for any purpose?"

Faced with these strange questions.

The woman, however, did not appear confused.

Instead, he leaned back in his chair and said indignantly, "Conquering other castles? It's not that simple!"

"Not all castles resist witches and dragons. No matter how much military reform is implemented, it is still impossible to change the huge gap in combat power between species."

"As for its significance..."

"How old are you? Why are you still asking about meaning? That's something only children think about."

"Adults only consider the probability of the outcome."

I thought Wu Wang would give a more radical response.

Unexpectedly, he simply said with a serious expression, "23 years old, born to my mother, and I have a snow leopard friend."

woman:"……"

Damn it, is this guy's personality a little too pure?

After a moment of silence, she pointed to the pollution demon under Wu Wang's buttocks.

He quipped, "Since Wang Xianzhi's approach is pointless, then capturing a Corruption Demon as a mount would be quite meaningful?"

Wu Wang also did not give a direct answer to this question.

He simply asked her, "Why is Wang Xianzhi a black woman? It makes it impossible for the people who came to assassinate her to find out who she is."

"And this nickname, she doesn't seem to like it very much."

The woman shrugged and straightened the hem of her skirt.

He stood up and looked at the royal nobles on the left side of the hall.

She chuckled dismissively, "Yes, why is Wang Xianzhi a black woman?"

"Perhaps it's because people want to be looked down upon by the entire castle, while a black woman of the same social status as them can change the world."

"People are unwilling to believe that the person who overthrew the aristocracy was an aristocrat herself; they are more willing to believe that she came from the bottom and was an oppressed commoner."

“Even if her name is not Wang Cuihua at all, people are unwilling to believe that her name is Xianzhi, the Xian of daring to be the first in the world.”

People are more inclined to believe that her name is Xianzhi.

"People are particularly willing to believe that she should be a fucking salt smuggler."

"Even if the fine salt process is just the most inconspicuous part of her reforms."

Actually, things are quite clear at this point.

The person who overthrew the entire class system of Sego Castle.

Wang Xianzhi was actually a member of the royal family and nobility, not some low-level salt smuggler.

She wasn't a dark-skinned girl, but a fair-skinned woman with outstanding looks and flawless skin.

Everything she did was simply to break free from her original storyline.

In fact, this approach is similar to the one used when Wu was destroyed.

As a demon hunter, Wu Wang's first action was to abandon the hunt for the Corruption Demon.

As a nobleman, Wang Xianzhi's actions also amounted to overthrowing the status of his own social class.

After speaking, the woman shook hands with Wu Wang to show goodwill.

He laughed and said, "I've been here for a while now, and I'm so glad to finally meet someone from my hometown."

"Hello, my name is [World]."
