I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 112 The Strategist 'Ming' (4000 words)
"That's it."

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Su Yuan felt a sense of relief.

Su Yuan, who possessed the gray mirror, was well aware of what Yuwen Sa desired most at the moment.

That is to successfully join the 'Galaxy' Group branch and become a strategist for the 'Galaxy' Group.

To achieve this goal, Yuwen Sa has been making continuous plans and schemes over the past few centuries, sparing no expense in exhausting his accumulated wealth.

The 'Star River' Group is a top-tier power within the Canglan Universe Human Empire. Joining the 'Star River' Group can help Yuwen Sa enter the upper echelons of the Canglan Universe Human Empire.

At that time, Yuwen Sa will be able to earn a hundred or a thousand times more wealth than he does now.

Putting everything else aside, his status as a strategist for the 'Star River' Group alone is enough to attract a large number of forces to request Yuwen Sa to offer them advice.

After all, how could one join the 'Galaxy' Group without the ability?
But it's a pity.

Su Yuan completely cut off any possibility of Yuwen Sa joining the 'Star River' Group.

Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan realized that several months ago, before the purple-haired woman, a staff member of the recruitment department of the 'Galaxy' Group branch, even entered the game world of "Shattered Void," Su Yuan had already formulated this plan.

He disguised himself to resemble Yuwen Sa, and then killed the purple-haired woman to make her dislike this appearance.

Finally, by using this point of dislike, Yuwen Sa was completely shut out of the 'Star River' Group.

Leaving the bungalow, Su Yuan walked on the streets of Liangzhou City.

This operation will leave no hidden dangers. Even if the purple-haired woman, an employee of the 'Galaxy' Group, wanted to investigate afterward, she wouldn't be able to find out anything about her.

The other party didn't even figure out whether Su Yuan was a native powerhouse of the shattered void world or a citizen player.

"Next, I'll forge a spear that suits me!"

Su Yuan thought to himself.

This time, Yuwen Sa's hopes were dashed when he came to Liangzhou City and killed the purple-haired woman.

This was just one of Su Yuan's objectives.

Another purpose was to forge a spear that would suit him.

In the shattered void world, the upper limit of physical attributes is locked at level 1.

Under these circumstances, the usefulness of weapons increases significantly.

Liangzhou City is the most fiercely independent of the nine provinces of Dayong, and its weapon-making industry is also extremely advanced.

In the past two months, Su Yuan has been in charge of the Money Gang in Qingxiang City, earning fifty to sixty thousand taels of silver. Most of it was exchanged for real-world Canglan coins, and the remainder was also a huge sum of money, more than enough to buy a satisfactory spear.

Virtual world network.

Personal space.

Although Yuwen Sa suffered a loss in Blue Star's scheme, he quickly forgot about it.

Because he has more important things to do.

Joined a branch of the Galaxy Group.

"Galaxy Group!"

Yuwen Sa was thrilled. In order to successfully get the job, he made several moves and spent a lot of money to hire a higher-level 'strategist' from the Zhi Clan to help him. He eliminated those strategists who were better than him and were competing for the same position.

After centuries of planning, he finally landed on the application list for a position in the recruitment department of the 'Galaxy' Group. Yuwen Sa's planning ability is definitely among the strongest.

Furthermore, given his background with the Ghibli, any recruitment staff at the Galaxy Group, unless they were blind, would undoubtedly choose Yuwen Sa.

With this in mind, Yuwen Sa composed himself, kept a close eye on his emails, and waited for a message from the 'Star River' Group.

According to the recruitment process, the list of newly hired employees should be announced today.

soon.

Yuwen Sa then received an email from the 'Galaxy' Group.

"I'm sorry, you do not meet the requirements."

The contents of the email were like a bucket of cold water poured over Yuwen Sa's excited heart.

"Didn't pass the recruitment?"

Yuwen Sa was incredulous; what had seemed a sure thing had suddenly become unpredictable.

"impossible!"

The first thought that crossed Yuwen Sa's mind was 'impossible'.

He even suspected that the email had been sent to the wrong person.

Only after repeated checks did we confirm that it came from the 'Galaxy' Group.

Yuwen Sa finally realized that he had indeed failed the recruitment process.

"Was the person who passed the recruitment process Gu Xiu?"

Yuwen Sa saw the list of candidates recruited through the 'Galaxy' Group's branch.

Gu Xiu was also a relatively famous strategist, roughly on the same level as Yuwen Sa.

However, Gu Xiu's background is very ordinary.

Yuwen Sa was a strategist of the Zhi clan.

The Ghibli are a human race that has produced many strategists.

For millions of years, the strategists of the Intelligence Clan have been spread across the thirty-six great human empires of the universe.

Furthermore, strategists in the GQ (Germany) community tend to stick together and support each other. Hiring one GQ strategist is equivalent to having a network of GQ strategists, which has become common knowledge in the strategist circle.

That's why Yuwen Sa was confident that he would be selected by the 'Star River' Group.

Because he has a good background.

Just now?

"Is someone plotting against me? That Gu Xiu?"

Yuwen Sa frowned.

Those who seek high profits are suspicious.

The current result is that Yuwen Sa was not selected.

Gu Xiu successfully joined the 'Star River' Group and became the biggest beneficiary.

Naturally, he was Yuwen Sa's primary suspect.

Realizing this, Yuwen Sa immediately used his connections to begin investigating Gu Xiu.

He wanted to find out exactly what schemes Gu Xiu had devised to make the 'Star River' Group choose an ordinary candidate over a strategist with a Zhizu background.

Half a day later.

Yuwen Sa frowned.

After half a day of investigation, he found no clues.

"Gu Xiu?"

Yuwen Sa grew angrier the more he thought about it.

Now that the recruitment results have been finalized, his centuries-long plan has failed, and he is naturally extremely unwilling to accept it.

Even if things couldn't be undone, Yuwen Saye wanted to figure out exactly how he lost.

Think of this.

Yuwen Sa immediately contacted Gu Xiu.

I'm prepared to ask them in person to find out.

As fellow strategists, Gu Xiu's contact information was easily obtained.

soon.

Gu Xiu's figure then materialized not far away.

The virtual world enables real-time communication.

"Brother Yuwen."

Gu Xiu looked at Yuwen Sa and greeted him warmly.

Even though he has now successfully joined the 'Star River' Group, Yuwen Sa is still, after all, a strategist of the Zhi Clan.

You absolutely must not offend them unless it's a last resort.

"Gu Xiu."

Yuwen Sa asked directly, "What methods did you use to pass the recruitment process of 'Star River' Group?"

"What means?"

Gu Xiu was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood what Yuwen Sa meant.

"Brother Yuwen, I really didn't use any special methods."

Gu Xiu shook his head and said, "When I learned that Brother Yuwen was among the competitors, I never thought I could get a job at 'Star River' Group smoothly."

"Brother Yuwen is superior to me in every way, and he's from the Zhi Clan. I don't understand why I was the one who passed the recruitment."

Gu Xiu said earnestly.

"Sure?"

Yuwen Sa looked at Gu Xiu, seemingly trying to discern the truth from the falsehood.

"I've already been hired, so I don't need to lie to you."

Gu Xiu said solemnly, "In that case, thank you for your trouble."

Yuwen Sa said.

"No trouble at all. Brother Yuwen, please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything in the future."

After Gu Xiu finished speaking, he got up and left.

"Who is it?"

Yuwen Sa watched Gu Xiu leave, his doubts deepening.

If this has nothing to do with Gu Xiu, then whose work is it?

Or was Gu Xiu lying to him?
After much deliberation, Yuwen Sa contacted an elder member of his clan.

"Yuwen Sa".

An intelligent strategist with an equally enormous head appeared not far from Yuwen Sa.

“Third Uncle.” Yuwen Sa immediately stood up, his posture quite respectful.

His third uncle, Yuwen Pu, served in the Canglan Universe Human Empire and was far more capable of strategizing than him.

"Tell me what it is."

Uncle Yuwen Pu of the Third Clan spoke up.

The strategists of the Zhi nation prefer to stick together and help each other.

This is also why the strategists of the Intelligence Clan are spread throughout the human empires of the thirty-six universes.

"What I have been plotting for the last few centuries"

Yuwen Sa immediately revealed all the information, daring not to conceal anything.

"The other advisors on that recruitment list, besides you, didn't have as good overall qualifications, yet you were ultimately rejected."

A look of surprise appeared on Yuwen Pu's face.

Strategists act subtly and imperceptibly. For example, Yuwen Sa's planning took hundreds of years to eliminate his superior competitors. The list of candidates that appeared before the 'Star River' Group when recruiting employees consisted of those who were inferior to Yuwen Sa.

Therefore, the final choice is almost predictable.

This is much better than directly affecting the recruitment of employees by the Galaxy Group.

All other options were eliminated, leaving the group with only one choice: hiring employees.

In this way, the person recruiting employees for the 'Galaxy' Group probably thought that they had a keen eye for talent and had carefully selected Yuwen Sa.

“I have contacted Gu Xiu directly, and he said he was completely unaware of the matter and did not use any means to try to influence it.”

Yuwen Sa spoke again.

"interesting."

Yuwen Pu became interested, closed his eyes, and fell into thought.

after an hour.

Yuwen Pu opened his eyes again, a hint of doubt on his face.

Even with his intelligence and connections, he tried to find out who was behind this.

Still nothing.

"Third Uncle"

Yuwen Sa shouted from the side.

No leads.

Yuwen Pu looked solemn and valued Yuwen Sa, and said in a deep voice, "There's no need to investigate this matter any further; it won't do you any good."

Yuwen Pu's words immediately jolted Yuwen Sa awake.

"Even you, my third uncle."

Yuwen Sa found it unbelievable.

"There are only two possibilities for this matter. One is that it was completely an accident. When we strategists act, seven parts are up to ourselves and three parts are up to fate. No matter how much you plan and scheme, you cannot guarantee that the outcome will be exactly what you want."

"It's normal for accidents to happen."

Yuwen Pu said.

Yuwen Sa nodded; this was common knowledge among strategists.

"Another possibility."

Yuwen Pu said in a heavy tone, "There was indeed an external force pushing this matter. It may have been the aftereffect of a top strategist's casual move that caused your plan to fail."

"I've investigated every aspect, but found no trace. This means that the methods of that top strategist are beyond what we can detect. It's best not to know about such a top strategist, otherwise we might become their pawn."

Yuwen Pu's expression was solemn.

The more outstanding the strategist, the less traces they leave when they act. Apart from themselves, others only feel that things should have unfolded the way they should have.

"clear."

Yuwen Sa was also trembling.

As a strategist, he knew all too well how terrifying top strategists could be. Once someone was treated as a pawn, their fate was truly at the mercy of that person.

A shattered void world.

"Five thousand taels of silver, and you can forge a spear according to my specifications?"

Su Yuan looked at the strong blacksmith in front of him and asked.

“That’s right.” The blacksmith nodded.

"Row."

Su Yuan did not haggle and directly took out fifty taels of gold.

Carrying gold is much more convenient when you're traveling.

"Please wait two days, sir. Come back and collect it in two days," the blacksmith said, taking out a wooden token.

Su Yuan put away the wooden token and left the blacksmith shop.

"Next, let's wait in this city for two days and stay at an inn."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Actually, the most cost-effective way is to live directly outside the city.

However, Su Yuan is not short of money now. The cost of two days at the inn is only a little over ten taels of silver, so there is no need to make himself suffer.

While waiting for the spear to be forged, Su Yuan directly selected 'intelligent auto-play'.

He then exited the game.

"Judging by the time, today is the day of the reset of 'The Labyrinth of Myriad Things'."

Su Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

The world of "Myriad Labyrinths" is a game world created by the Canglan Universe Human Empire specifically for 'strategists'.

Passing through a certain number of levels will yield rich rewards. Su Yuan's first million Canglan coins were obtained by passing through ten of the maze levels.

One million Canglan coins is just the minimum reward in "Myriad Labyrinths"; the rewards become richer as you progress.

However, to prevent strategists from becoming overly engrossed in the world of "The Labyrinth of Ten Thousand Layers," the game mechanism stipulates that there are two months of Earth time, and players can only conquer a maximum of ten layers.

"Two months ago, I reached the tenth level, and now I can continue."

With a slight thought, Su Yuan arrived in the world of "Myriad Labyrinths".

However, Su Yuan did not enter the game world directly, but instead came to its game community.

Compared to other games, the game community in the world of "Myriad Labyrinths" is a huge virtual space.

Many players of "Myriad Labyrinths" have gathered here.

In addition, the game community of "Myriad Labyrinths" also has many factions stationed there.

After all, the world of "The Labyrinth of Myriad Things" is designed to cultivate strategists, and what factions like most is to befriend strategists.

Many forces have stationed themselves here in order to recruit their preferred strategists.

Su Yuan descended upon the community world and arrived at the central area.

Here stand rows of huge stone tablets, each inscribed with a name.

There are ten thousand stone tablets in total, and each stone tablet corresponds to one level of the labyrinth in "The Labyrinth of Ten Thousand Layers".

The name of any strategist who successfully navigates the corresponding number of mazes will appear on the corresponding stone tablet.

Of course, the names here are not the real names, but rather pseudonyms chosen by the strategist.

Su Yuan arrived at the tenth stone tablet and looked at one of the names.

明！
'Ming' is the name Su Yuan chose for himself; it is very ordinary and has nothing to do with his real identity.

"The twentieth reward in 'The Labyrinth of Myriad Layers'"

Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan learned that the reward for passing the twentieth level of the maze was one of the resources he needed most at the moment.

"let's start."

With a slight thought, Su Yuan immediately entered the eleventh level of the maze.
