Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 263 Mysterious Data Core
Seeing how sensible and cooperative the two were, Wu Xian was somewhat bewildered.

Before he could speak, the two began to truthfully "report" the whole incident to him, as well as the situation on Wang Zhi's side.

"We're just trying to make a living at the Super Dog Club. We only come here to pretend because of that old dog's tyranny," the two of them said, each explaining their grievances. "We really didn't mean to target you."

"Please, sir, forgive our rudeness and spare our lives."

Wu Xian was inwardly amused and exasperated. "These two are really confusing me."

"Look at what you're saying. If our family weren't in the provincial capital and had to put up with that old dog's whims, who would want to be his dog?"

"Become a dog?" Wu Xian was stunned. "You already knew?"

"They not only knew, they laid it all out on us." The two complained, "This sanction against Yaoyang City is just to show us the power of the upper echelons."

These past few days we've been waiting for you to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"So that's how it is." Wu Xian suddenly understood. "And now?"

"They were so embarrassed," the two said gloatingly. "They even said that there were limited spots for being a dog for the upper-class lords, and that not just anyone could get one."

Wu Xian couldn't help but laugh as he listened, "Is this the kind of thinking everyone in your Super Dog Club does?"

“Not necessarily,” the two pondered. “I think quite a few people are interested, especially those with certain family backgrounds. They seem to value this opportunity quite a bit.”

"Aren't you two tempted?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

"What's the point of being interested? Are you crazy to be someone's dog?" the two said irritably. "To be honest, we've been secretly looking for a transfer, but we're not exactly top-tier players. We're only good at being dogs, so we haven't found a suitable new team yet."

Wu Xian's eyes flickered slightly, "How about... we give our Underworld Club a try?"

"Huh?" The two looked at each other in astonishment. "Is this... appropriate?"

The two are quite self-aware; they are only able to compete in the Gold League thanks to the Divine Dog Club.

Their actual ability is far below the level of the Gold League.

"Why not?" Wu Xian laughed. "However, I need you to temporarily infiltrate the Divine Dog Club and provide me with some useful intelligence."

Upon hearing this, the two were caught in a dilemma and hesitated.

After all, they were just trying to make a living, and if they were exposed, they wouldn't be able to handle Wang Zhi's old dog tactics.

"You two are quite adept at using canine-themed scrolls, aren't you?" Wu Xian asked unhurriedly. "I wonder what your opinions are on my golden divine dog?"

"Awesome!" the two exclaimed.

“As long as you two are willing to cooperate, you will be able to possess that golden divine dog after the matter is accomplished,” Wu Xian continued. “In addition, I will also provide you with some life-saving measures to ensure your safety.”

"Really? Are you...really?" The two were starting to feel a little tempted.

After some thought, Wu Xian took out a pair of golden scrolls depicting the daytime and nighttime gods. These two scrolls were undoubtedly a powerful tool for "spy agents," capable of both covert surveillance and investigation, as well as saving his life and escaping.

However, before "borrowing" the two, Wu Xian still needs to do something with the "copyright mark" to prevent them from betraying him at the last minute.

He handed the two golden scrolls to the two men and briefly explained the powerful abilities of the Day and Night Wanderer.

"We have shown our sincerity to you both. What do you think of our offer?"

The two looked at each other excitedly, their breathing quickening.

He immediately gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, making a move on the spot saying, "If you don't abandon me, I'm willing to become your godfather."

Thus, the two "spies" were successfully recruited, and their names were learned: Liu Ze and Zhang Cheng.

"Speaking of which, besides gathering all kinds of canine talents, what other special activities has the Wang family undertaken in establishing the Super Dog Club?" Wu Xian inquired.

“There really is,” Zhang Cheng said, his eyes flickering slightly. “That old dog often sends us to various otherworldly realms to collect strange things, but we don’t know what they’re for.”

"Something strange?" Wu Xian pulled out the data core. "Is it this thing?"

“Yes, yes, that’s it,” Liu Ze nodded. “But this is only one of them; there are some other strange things as well.”

Wu Xian understood. "Alright, you can go back now. Just report the facts and ask for your reward."

The existence of the Earth God Temple Farm is definitely not something that can be hidden; the key lies in the Earth God Temple's ability to collect incense and religious offerings.

"Yes, sir." "Oh right, if there are similar collection missions later, remember to share them." Wu Xian reminded him.

"no problem."

……

After seeing Liu and Zhang off, Wu Xian curiously examined the data core in his hand.

After some thought, I headed to the association to see if there were any professionals who could decipher the data.

Unfortunately, it seems the association can't handle this thing either.

"Where did you get this thing?" Cui Wenxuan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, asked with curiosity.

"Stolen from the Super Dog Club."

Wu Xian briefly explained the origin of this core data.

"The things the Wang family secretly collected?" Cui Wenxuan's expression instantly turned serious: "Are none of you capable of doing this?"

Several association elders specializing in mechanical engineering sighed and shook their heads.

"The core structure is incredibly sophisticated. Not to mention us, even the industry experts at the Mechanical Dojo might not be able to decipher the data inside perfectly."

"So high-end?" Cui Wenxuan was secretly surprised. "Could it be something from the upper class?"

The more this happened, the more he wanted to figure out what was hidden inside.

"Xiao Wu, go ask that girl from the Tang family," Cui Wenxuan said thoughtfully. "I'll ask my old buddies to see if anyone can crack this thing."

After leaving the association, Wu Xian made his way to the club.

Tang Benghao, the elder brother, clearly took a look.

"What an incredibly sophisticated mechanical structure!" Tang Beng exclaimed inwardly. "It must be the creation of a top-notch mechanical master."

"Can it be cracked?" Wu Xian asked.

“We can give it a try, but it will take a lot of time.” Tang Beng pondered and analyzed, “There is basically no hope of cracking the orthodox mechanical principles, but our new mechanical theory can theoretically bypass some of the limitations.”

"Then I'll leave it to Brother Tang." Wu Xian was both surprised and delighted.

You're welcome!

Tang Beng waved his hand and smiled. He was also very interested in this core data and immediately began to study it.

Wu Xian then went to the Network Department to inspect the progress of the [Four Seas Dragon Palace] card pool.

After learning that the basic program had been written, he immediately brought out his personal God of Wealth to give the entire card-drawing program a boost in good fortune.

With the recent update to the Three Gods version, the monsters in the Endless Sea have become much stronger, making it the perfect time to release the Four Seas Dragon Palace card pool.

The only headache is the series of problems caused by the closure of intercity spatial channels.

Currently, all kinds of logistics and trade have been severely affected. Local orders are still okay, but it is difficult to send out orders from other places.

"We don't know when the intercity space corridor will be reopened."

There has been no official confirmation for a long time, and the internet is filled with criticism, leading to the bankruptcy of many small business owners and self-employed individuals.

Over at the club's reception area, a group of players were applying for jobs, each holding a gacha guide.

Among them are two young men who hold gold certificates. Although they haven't gathered all the necessary materials yet, their income will naturally increase after joining the club.

"Brother Wu, it seems something's happened at the art studio!"

Zhou Qi rushed over in a hurry.

"The art studio?" Wu Xian's expression was strange. "What could possibly happen in the art studio?"

“The situation is very strange, and it can’t be explained in a few words,” Zhou Qi said, grinning. “This morning, I went to the art studio to look up some information and felt something was wrong, as if some evil god’s servant was up to something.”
