693 Daily Overtime (1/2)

”Recently, that silly man Luo Xiao is very quiet, the harmful people are a bit bored.”

In a quiet courtyard in the Immortal Five Area, Wang Lu put down the writing brush in his hand. He looked as if he had not fully expressed himself—as if he was lingering in memory.

As his secretary, Hai Yunfan had to remind him, ”Wang Lu, right now there are more than a hundred people outside accompanying you to work overtime, you ought to lead them by example.”

Wang Lu laughed loudly, ”A hundred workers who work overtime also need me to be the boss to get busy, this can only show how incompetent they are. According to the principle of survival of the fittest, they should all be expelled. In order to keep their jobs, I had to take a break from work.”

Hai Yunfan suddenly wanted to break his writing brush and quit on the spot. Wang Lu—this f*cker is single; meaning that the office had become his home, so it didn't matter if he wanted to work overtime until he got hemorrhoid. But Hai Yunfan had a wife. During this period, he had to accompany Wang Lu to work overtime everyday, to which Feifei had complained about slightly.

However, if he told the truth, Wang Lu would certainly suggest him to find some strong men to comfort Feifei. That guy had always been vicious to married people.

After thinking about it, Hai Yunfan said, ”You look more and more like your Master now.”

Wang Lu immediately picked up his writing brush. ”Who do you say the same as that b*tch? I have painstakingly given my full effort to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, such that I am worthy to be a model for the world, eternal paragon. Don't be someone who has eyes but fail to recognize Mt Tai!”

”Please don't loaf on the job Mr. Mt Tai… This is for the Deity Stage five round fight match, but so far only half of the plan that has been done. This is really…”

Wang Lu waved his hand to interrupt him. ”Don't worry, we can definitely finish the plan before the war. You just have to make sure that the details of those who work overtime outside are not wrong.”

Hai Yunfan sighed. ”Those overtime workers outside are the elite force from all the major sects who are good at deduction, and there are also many reviews, so there would be no mistakes. The problem is that you can't get stuck in the deadline the day before the match. When the plan is done, don't people need to adapt to it first? This is the most important match since the start of the competition. Even your sect's Sect Leader is going to participate. You should be a bit more dedicated.”

Wang Lu said, ”It's exactly because of my dedication that I have been refining the plan. Otherwise, I can just write three words statement and be done with it. Then the work would've been finished ten days ago.”

Hai Yunfan was inwardly a bit curious. ”Three words statement?”

”Kill! Save! Disperse! These three words are concise enough to cover all the situations that might be encountered in the match don't you think?”

”...” Hai Yunfan sighed and stopped paying attention to Wang Lu and started to handle the affairs at hand. After Wang Lu had enough dilly-dallying, he began to draw up a serious plan of operation.

Five days later, the five people group match for Deity Stage rank would officially begin in the fighting arena of Immortal One Area. This would be the highest rank fight in the Grand Competition in the past few months.

The candidates for the match had been determined a long time ago. The team leader was Daoist Master Feng Yin, the Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect. The other four members came from each of the rest of the four Super Sects. Plus five carefully selected substitutes, they formed a team of ten.

In terms of personal strength, the ten-member team could basically represent the highest level of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, so it was extremely difficult to further strengthen it. Thus, if the odds of victory were to be improved, it had to be done before the match, which would be the first time for the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals to go all out since the opening of the Grand Competition.

The cheerleading plan, which was previously taken as a joke by many people, was now formally prepared for implementation. Recently, the pill furnace of various sects had also been operating at full capacity, continuously refining secret medicine, elixirs, and even banned drugs. Shengjing Sect even opened their treasure house, allowing other sects to borrow their magical treasures...

All that could be done had basically been done to the utmost. Only Wang Lu's battle plan that had yet to come out, which really made many people anxious.

However, people also knew that with the importance of this plan, it was inevitable that Wang Lu would work slowly.

The stake was simply too big.

This batch of Daoist Masters of Deity Stage had an illustrious reputation in Nine Regions, but in the Grand Competition, they were not as useful as those of Jindan Stage. Among which, there were Wang Wu and Wang Lu. Among those of Deity Stages, perhaps only Feng Yin had a chance of success in winning a one on one fight, the rest of them were basically powerless against the Earth Immortals.

And this gap would be even more pronounced in the group fight—the ancient Earth Immortals had fought against the Fallen Immortals, so what kind of situation that they had not yet seen? What kind of dangers they had yet experienced? Their teamwork was by no means comparable to that of the temporary made up team by the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Since their personal strength and teamwork were not as good as the opponent, how could they win the match? As a matter of fact, everyone had actually considered this issue, and no one could come up with a workable solution. When Wang Lu said he probably had a way to deal with it, people were even more surprised, and thus they immediately threw the burden on him.

There was a glimmer of hope within the impossibility. That was what Wang Lu was going to do now.

After nobody knows how long, when Hai Yunfan began to feel his brain began to swell, there came the sound of a writing brush hitting the table from the side.

Turning his head, he saw Wang Lu put down his writing brush with a relieved look, which surprised Hai Yunfan.

”Is it completed? The second half looks very smooth.”

Wang Lu nodded. ”Yes, I thought of a quick way to cut through the mess.”

Cut through the mess?” Hai Yunfan was surprised at first, but he then suddenly had an ominous feeling. He had spent a lot of time with Wang Lu so he felt that if he said this, it meant that the result would be something that he doesn't want.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wang Lu's words immediately caused Hai Yunfan to feel stuffy in his chess and his blood surge up.
