Chapter 468. The Battle That Made the Schemer Famous Revealed

Bai Lisong carried a basket of instant noodles, walked through the narrow stairwell, and returned to her rented basement apartment.

The hallway was filled with the smell of mildew and old dust. Pushing open the slightly heavy iron door, a damp chill rushed out.

The room was small, containing only a bed, a wardrobe, and a computer desk piled high with electronic devices and cables.

The walls were faintly visible with the mottled marks left by water seepage, and there was a faint dampness in the air.

It's hard to imagine that the person who stirs up a storm of public opinion on the forum and is followed or feared by countless people lives in such a place every day.

An advisor from the Bright faction once learned about her living environment from somewhere and mocked her as "a rat hiding in the city sewers," his words full of contempt and superiority.

Baili Song knew what those words were saying.

But she didn't refute it, and didn't even take it to heart.

Once she reaches her position, there are too many people who want to curse her, insult her, and dig into her past every day.

If she had to remember and retaliate against every harsh word, she wouldn't have anything else to do.

Living in a cramped space is a practical limitation, but if the space in your heart also shrinks, then you're truly doomed.

One's perspective and vision are ultimately developed little by little through the paths one has walked and the experiences one has had.

She placed the instant noodles on the table, tore open the packaging, and skillfully ripped open the seasoning packet.

The steam, mixed with the smell of cheap perfume, rose up, creating a faint warmth in the chilly basement.

She pressed the power button on the computer, and the screen suddenly lit up, illuminating her expressionless face.

She slowly stirred the instant noodles while glancing at the screen.

The page still displayed was the last one she searched before going to sleep—information about "Black Eye Pharmaceuticals".

The once powerful and unshakeable pharmaceutical black market giant was completely eradicated nearly a year ago.

The television report was brief, merely celebrating a victory for justice.

But as Baili Song dug down along the almost completely erased marks, he touched something different.

She picked up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks, but hesitated to put it in her mouth.

The light from the screen flickered slightly in her eyes.

Those fragmented pieces of information were like a thin but resilient thread, wrapping around her nerves and tightening more and more.

This is also the reason why Baili Song has been suffering from insomnia recently.

Everyone knows that the job market for fraudsters is narrow, and the most stable way out is to work in a telecom fraud park; there are almost no other options.

Even the sequences themselves are subject to discrimination; on forums, people often depict the three sequences of the Chaos faction as a scene where the two sides are high and the middle is low.

The two taller hats on either side are the Fool's Clown Hat and the Dreamer's Engineer's Hat, while the shorter one in the middle is the Deceiver's Magician's Hat.

This pattern, which clearly exhibits sequence discrimination, was once very popular on forums and completely condemned fraudsters to shame.

When Baili Song first awakened to the Fraudster sequence, his first feeling was also shame.

The pressure from public opinion made her unable to lift her head, as if her life had completely ended the moment the magic hat lit up on the awakening device.

Among my friends in the Chaos faction, some have donned engineering hats, while others have donned clown hats. Although those two sequences are controversial in society due to their overly advanced mental states, they are at least recognized as "successful" and "powerful" in the secular sense.

She was subjected to countless acts of contempt and disdain.

She has no choice in which sequence she awakens to, yet she is forced to bear the pressure of society.

From an ordinary con artist to the world's top con artist, her journey was not only a career advancement but also a process of gradually reconciling with herself.

On countless sleepless nights, Baili Song wondered why he was a con artist.

If she weren't a con artist, what kind of life would she have had?

These sleepless nights eventually slipped away without yielding any answers.

Because there are no "what ifs" in life.

Time will make all resentment disappear. In the end, Baili Song accepted that he was just an ordinary person and could not become the protagonist of the era.

The war giants cut through mountains and seas, while the beacon of light laid out plans across thousands of miles.

She was just a con artist, and she was destined to be a con artist for life.

But so what?
The sequence determines her beginning.

But that doesn't determine her fate.

Baili Song climbed the ladder step by step, doing things no one had done before and working in industries no one had ever tried before. Today, she has finally become a leading figure in journalism, realizing a new value in the field of con artists.

As the only con artist standing at the pinnacle of the era, she witnessed many hidden things from the summit, including the true answer to the employment problem of con artists.

All fraudsters know from childhood that Black Eye Pharmaceuticals is the leading company in this sector, and many fraud prodigies have vertical black eyes pasted on their desks to motivate themselves to join Black Eye Pharmaceuticals in the future.

However, they all overlooked one problem: Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals is actually a force of the Light faction.

Its core management team is an omniscient sequence.

The most famous branch of the Omniscient sequence is the Strategist branch, where brilliant minds emerge in large numbers and intelligent people abound.

No matter what level of strategist they are, their plans all rely on intelligence; you could say that "information" is their lifeblood.

As users of information, strategists are disgusted by any sequence that can interfere with it.

Of all the sequences, the one they hate the most is the Fraudster sequence.

If the aversion to the Fool's Sequence stems from its inability to be manipulated, and the dislike for the Predictive Sequence arises from mutual animosity, then the dislike for the Deceiver arises from its undermining of the strategist's fundamental plan—information.

Fraudsters don't devise strategies, but top-tier fraudsters can conceal intelligence, create false information, and fabricate discrepancies between high and low information to induce their schemes to fail.

The astute strategist sensed this and, in order to facilitate the manipulation of the era and eliminate potential threats, began a plan to strangle the charlatan.

This strangulation scheme was initiated and perfectly executed by a deceased conspirator, and its influence extends even to this day.

This elaborate scheme is manifested in the fact that the conspirators support the Coastal Talent Academy as an academic hall for con artists, and the only force it connects with is the righteous force, Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals.

In this way, under the guise of doing what's best for the con artists, elites from the con artist sequence were sent into Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals, continuously working for the Omniscient sequence.

At the same time, further lower public expectations of the fraudster hierarchy and influence the worldview of underage fraudsters through public opinion.

They instill the idea that "the ultimate goal of fraudsters is Black Eye Pharmaceuticals," thus limiting their career options.

Weak con artists have no doubts about this idea, while powerful con artists are admitted to the Coastal Talent Academy for further brainwashing.

In this way, the Omniscient Sequence completely suppresses the Trickster Sequence at the bottom, leaving the enemy with no chance to rise again.

It's hard to say whether another major power television station, Guangming TV, was involved during this period.

After all, the images of sequence discrimination were circulating on the Ping An Forum at the time.

Sometimes, indulgence is also a form of invisible harm.

Thus, under the joint oppression of the two major forces of light, and the combined strangulation of countless strategists who did not share the same intentions, the Trickster sequence became the lowest level of the Chaos faction, a sheep being raised in the sheepfold of the Omniscient sequence.

Now, with the collapse of Black Eye Pharmaceuticals, the death of the conspirator, and the reorganization of the television station, this conspiracy has finally been uncovered.

After Baili Song finished organizing this information, his fingertips were icy cold and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his back.

She slowly sat back in her chair, her chest tightening, a feeling that lingered for a long time.

She was an outsider and didn't know before why the people of the Light faction called the "schemers."

She finally understood.

This was a conspiracy that fell upon her own faction, and it was Xu Huan's true battle to make a name for herself.

This is the fundamental reason why this genius strategist was able to become the chief strategist of Black Eye Pharmaceuticals within a year, and even later betrayed and stabbed them without anyone questioning it.

Besides the layout itself, which alarmed Baili Song, another very important point was the sense of strangeness.

To break a scheme that a top strategist has already established and even operated stably for many years, another strategist of equal ability is needed to make a counter-movement.

The con artists are not good at planning; their schemes don't reach that level, so they can only rely on the forces of light.

However, this intrigue-driven trap is related to the interests of the entire Omniscient Sequence, and the current generation of top strategists all come from the Omniscient Sequence—

These people are too busy maintaining order to possibly break through this tight situation.

However, the truth is that this situation is being torn apart.

It all started with the unusual activities of the Trickster Guild, and this incredibly meticulous conspiracy spanned many years...

It seems a hole has been opened.
