Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

call--

The biting wind felt like countless blades cutting into Wu Wang's face, causing a stinging pain.

This room doesn't resemble an office at all, or even any room inside a castle.

Instead, it's like being naked on an Antarctic glacier, with absolutely no cover to keep warm.

He raised his hand to shield his eyes and barely opened them, seeing the familiar black and white figure in a suit sitting on an ice sculpture recliner.

The tall, question-mark hat was shimmering with colorful light, as if it were scrutinizing Wu Wang, the newcomer.

"Did you move your office into a freezer? Are there still frozen fish and meat under the chairs?"

Wu Wang blurted out a complaint without thinking.

thump—

The gentleman penguin lightly touched the ice with his scepter, instantly dispelling the surrounding cold wind and clearing the view between the two. However, the temperature remained unbearably high.

He said with great interest, "To be honest, among all the worlds that have been traversed, apart from a very few high-dimensional beings, you are the most special one."

"Before you knew me, you could explain it with the fearlessness of a newborn calf. But after we met and things have come to this point, you still use this heartfelt, undisguised tone and attitude to tease me. Even your most outstanding businessman—the Jade-Faced Killer—would not do this."

"Human kid... oh no, Yan Shuangying, or rather, the red tentacle thief?"

"Aren't you really afraid of dying?"

Upon hearing the title "Red Tentacle Thief," Wu Wang's lips twitched, and his expression stiffened slightly.

Now he knew which bad thing he had done that had gotten him caught.

Holy crap! This can't be happening!
How did this guy get so sure he stole something from his vault?

"We need to speak with facts and evidence. Don't try to frame me just because you can't find the person!" Wu Wang retorted defiantly, "Be careful, or I'll sue you for emotional distress!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the snowflakes and ice shards beneath his feet gathered up like flowing water.

In an instant, two photos with a film-like texture were created.

The first image above shows several red tentacles emerging from Wu Wang's body, pulling the shop owner out of the void screen.

The second image shows an ancient silver coin lying on the ground, with the goddess of fortune on one side and a demon from hell on the other. The side depicting the demon is facing down, with a snake's tongue sticking out of its mouth as it tries to turn over.

But a tiny, red tentacle emerged from the ground, gripping the demon's forked tongue tightly and preventing it from moving.

These two scenes are from the argument between Wu Wang and the shop owner of the game "Lingzai" where they find kindred spirits, and the scene where Wu Wang uses the Doom Silver Coin to seal Ethan's glasses.

I have absolutely no idea where the gentleman penguin got these two photos.

It was practically impossible for anyone to be there to take a picture of Wu Wang at that moment.

This can only be described as some kind of special method.

"Is there anything else you want to argue about?"

Da da da--

As the gentleman penguin's voice slowly rose, he himself jumped off the ice sculpture chair and walked towards Wu Wang, stepping on the ice shards.

The straight, jet-black cane in his hand swayed slightly, like the pendulum of a clock.

He continued, "Besides, why is my stolen 'fake smile mask' now on your face?"

Having said that, he pressed the cane against Wu Wang's face, as if he might poke the "fake smile mask" off his cheek at any moment.

I didn't notice this when I met Wu Wang before, partly because I was too busy at the time and didn't expect that the guy who stole the fake smile mask would dare to show up in front of me wearing it.

Secondly, because the unscrupulous penguins have focused their attention on other transactions.

Now that the other party has appeared on its territory, the gentleman penguin has finally realized the extent of such arrogant behavior.

He was so angry he laughed.

To be honest, this scene was indeed somewhat unexpected for Wu Wang.

He truly did not expect that his identity would be discovered by the wicked penguin at this crucial moment.

Especially since the other party had previously shown considerable anger towards the red tentacle thief.

Whether today's deal can be made is another matter. First, we need to figure out how to escape from this guy's auction castle.

But after only a few seconds of contemplation...

Wu Wang abandoned his plan to escape.

First of all, this place is the home ground of the Black-Hearted Penguin, and although I cannot fully see through the opponent's level of power for the time being.

I still vividly remember the scene where I casually turned the dungeon item "Memory Cleansing Stone" in "The Chronicles of the Deserted Village" into a consumable legendary item.

This expressiveness is even more exaggerated than that of the descendants of those venerable ones.

Furthermore, the big boss refers to the ruthless penguin Ye as "Little Penguin," while other than him, He only gives nicknames to other Venerable Ones!

All these signs indicate that the ruthless penguin is definitely not as simple as it seems.

He estimated that they were far superior to the Venerable One's descendants.

Secondly, the opponent's treasure vault is filled with countless items and equipment, making it extremely easy for them to trap you once their identity is confirmed.

Essentially, there was no way for him to enter the castle and then escape.

In the end, even Wu could not escape its fate.

The deal he's trying to make today isn't just about himself; it's about protecting his second sister and the real world.

Aside from the unscrupulous penguin, there is no other entity capable of completing this transaction.

After much deliberation, Wu Wang...

His expression shifted abruptly from embarrassment at being exposed to seriousness, before finally returning to his initial playful demeanor.

He joked, "Okay, I admit I did it. Doesn't that also prove that your vault's security measures aren't very good?"

"Would you like me to help you improve your security measures? What do you think?"

This behavior surprised the gentleman penguin.

He had considered that once the other party was exposed, they would cry and beg for mercy under his pressure, or at the very least, try to escape from here.

He had already prepared a containment plan to ensure that not even a single bacterium could escape his castle.

Unexpectedly, the other party still had the nerve to make fun of him under these circumstances and even tried to sell him a plan to upgrade security measures.

Damn it! Gan! You're a genius!

The gentleman penguin's question mark hat floated slowly to the ground. He lifted his short legs and stood on it, using it as a footrest so that his line of sight was level with Wu Wang's.

He stared intently into those mocking eyes, as if trying to find Wu Wang's cowardice within them.

A moment later, the gentleman penguin put his question mark hat back on.

He revealed a hint of appreciation and said, "Calm and composed in the face of danger... To put it bluntly, you're willing to put your life second for the sake of doing business. I quite like this kind of shamelessness."

"Sigh, when will my good-for-nothing apprentice ever have your shamelessness and ability?"

"She couldn't even understand what she was eavesdropping on."

With that, the gentleman penguin casually flicked his cane on the ground, lifting up a shard of ice the size of a fingernail, which exploded in the air and turned into fireworks.

This appears to be some kind of disguise.

It seems that when the know-it-all said she wasn't interested at first, it was just a pretense in front of Wu Wang; she had already planted eavesdropping devices in the room.

As the explosion rang out, the chill in the surroundings quickly dissipated.

The icy, snowy landscape was transformed into a cozy little house at a visible speed.

It still doesn't feel like an office.

But at least they weren't exposed to the wild anymore. Wu Wang was amazed by this way of changing the environment with just a few gestures.

As expected, the Gentleman Penguin was far more powerful than he had guessed. It made sense, though; if he wasn't capable enough, how could he have formed a partnership with the Spirit Disaster game to provide the treasure vault lottery?
The ice-sculpted recliner has been transformed into a comfortable-looking executive chair. The gentleman penguin sits on the upper floor, legs crossed, and says, "Actually, I'm not that angry about your theft. What I'm more curious about is how you did it?"

"How about this, you tell me how to steal, and then help me steal a specific item, as compensation."

Gentleman Penguin is fundamentally a shrewd businessman.

After finding the real culprit in the treasure vault theft, he thought about more than just recovering the losses.

Rather, it was about how to gain more benefits from Wu's demise.

Ultimately, what he lost was nothing more than a mere epic-level item.

Let alone the fact that the [Fake Smile Mask] is part of the legendary set, even if it really is a legendary item.

There's no shortage of gentleman penguins either.

Just as a farmer can only imagine an emperor wielding a golden hoe, a Spirit Disaster player who hasn't reached a certain level cannot even accurately imagine how terrifying the true depths of his treasure trove are.

In comparison, the skills Wu Wang stole from the treasure vault, and the favor the gentleman penguin now wants him to do, are far more valuable than what he stole.

However, seeing the gentleman penguin in this state...

Wu Wang immediately perked up.

He grinned and said, "This price... is too high."

Before the other party could even refute anything...

He continued, "But it's not impossible, provided that these are included in the deal I'll pay you later."

"In that case, you will need to fulfill my intelligence needs while also providing two legendary items as a bonus to make up for the price difference."

brush--

The gentleman penguin squinted and his gaze instantly turned sharp.

Without hesitation, he shook his head and said, "Your offer is too high. I don't think these are worth two legendary items. Besides, the information you had the know-it-all pass on to me is not enough to determine their specific value."

Wu Wang placed his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly, saying, "Then I can reveal some information in advance: this intelligence concerns how long after the Venerable One will invade the real world."

"Do you think Azure Dragon and Chaos are just sitting around doing nothing?" Gentleman Penguin retorted, standing on tiptoe. "They won't be here anytime soon."

The people talking right now are not a nouveau riche and a thief.

They were, in fact, two shrewd businessmen.

They were all trying their best to pull the conditions in their favor.

Wu Wang sighed inwardly.

As expected, Gentleman Penguin's intelligence is extraordinary; he even knows that Azure Dragon is temporarily allied with Chaos.

In principle, even the descendants of a venerable being might not know about matters of this level.

After all, it directly involves a struggle between Venerables, which is why Wu Wang was able to find out, as it was only after the [Desire Sea Spirit Venerable] told him.

Heaven knows how the gentleman penguin found out.

However, his statement indirectly reveals that the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] has a way to get other Venerables to deal with the Azure Dragon, something that Gentleman Penguin is unaware of.

At the very least, he didn't know the specific time or the specific plan.

This is the information gap!

Wu Wang deeply understood that the essence of doing business lies in information asymmetry.

When something is something you know that others don't, and it can still interest or create a need for others.

That's a great opportunity to make a fortune!
So he raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Is that so? I don't know what you consider a short time—ten years or a year?"

"I can help you pinpoint the exact day."

Upon hearing this, the gentleman penguin's gaze sharpened.

The reason he decided to announce that Wan Shitong was his disciple at this time was because...

Actually, I learned from some channels that there might be problems with Qinglong, but I wasn't sure when. So I decided to act now before the chaos became public knowledge.

This allows the Know-It-All to use this identity to squeeze more money out of other players in the Necropolis.

It's like how gyms often offer crazy discounts or promotions before they close down.

After making this profit, they're ready to run away.

Wu Wang's words hit him right where it hurt.

Gentleman Penguin would naturally not allow Know-It-All to die in the real world due to the impact of the Venerable's invasion.

But it's impossible to just take her and run away on the spot and leave completely.

After all, to put it bluntly, the real world, which is now filled with players of the Spirit Disaster, is the richest place among all the dungeon worlds.

Because the items players carry come from different worlds, and there may even be items and materials from worlds that even the Gentleman Penguin has never been to.

These items are all extremely valuable.

If you want to achieve both, it is crucial to know the right time to escape.

Knowing full well that Yan Shuangying is quick-witted and incredibly daring, it would be extremely difficult to deceive or bluff him.

The gentleman penguin bluntly stated, "The highest price I can offer you is one piece of information in addition to fulfilling your original request, plus one legendary item."

He was referring to the method of freely traversing the dungeon world and the method of concealing one's aura in front of the Venerable One, offering one of the two options for trade.

Wu Wang immediately retorted: "I want both pieces of information, and the legend must be the set type."

Gentleman Penguin: "Two pieces of information, rumored to be consumable items."

Wu Wang: "Then let's switch to components from the legendary set."

Gentleman Penguin: "Come and choose the outfit pieces."

Wu Wang: "I can choose myself. The set pieces can be limited to epic items."

The two spoke very quickly, and leaned forward slightly with each sentence.

By the end, their foreheads were almost touching.

Finally, the gentleman penguin raised his hand, stretched out his wings, and smiled, saying, "Deal."

Snapped--

Wu Wang's hand clapped together with the penguin's wing, and the two cunning old foxes smiled at the same time.

They all thought they had made a profit.

And they made a fortune.

At this moment, the know-it-all was quietly crouching in the corner outside the office door, trying to hear something.

Two lewd laughs came from inside the room, leaving her completely bewildered and unsure of what was happening, but at least she knew that the transaction seemed to be going smoothly.

But the next second, she heard the gentleman penguin's mournful cry—

"Damn it! You're messing with me! What are those red tentacles? How am I supposed to learn this?!"

"You unscrupulous merchant! I'm reporting you for selling counterfeit goods!"

Know-it-all: “?”

After so many years of apprenticeship, this was the first time she had ever heard Gentleman Penguin call someone a swindler.

Holy crap, they've reversed the Heavenly Stems!
What exactly did Yan Shuangying show him? (End of Chapter)
