Chapter 8: Challenge

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

That evening after work, Mu Zixu stood in a long line with his coworkers at the cafeteria to get their meals

Then, he strode up to Mu Zixu, staring at him and coldly snorted, "I am indeed superior, so what if I don't queue? There are so many people in line, are you the only one who's impatient?"

A优秀的玩家会懂得合理安排时间

It was not until the rooster crowed and the sun broke the dawn that he finally discarded the whiteboard marker and let out a long sigh

Behavioral Pattern: Decay, lacking any regularity

Boss: "An excellent changer of fate must possess the ability to fully exploit available resources under limited conditions. Sometimes, a piece of iron wire, a few strands of hair, or even a mortal enemy with whom you are at odds can become resources for your use"

Muzi stared at the information on the phone screen, unconsciously twisting the hair at her forehead

Boss: "Very good"

Hurry and arrive...

Boss: "Given Wu Haotian's character, do you really think he would challenge you one-on-one alone? What do you think he usually gathers those fair-weather friends for?"

Boss: "Yes."

And Muzi Xu's task is to rewrite his destiny, bringing an end to his unparalleled reign

The wealthy and powerful second-generation rich believe they can continue to act arrogantly and recklessly, thinking that no matter what immoral deeds they commit, Lady Luck will always cover for them

Muzi's Preface: "However, I feel that it is not so good. Wu Haotian is a seventh-degree black belt in judo, you must know this, right?"

Finally, amidst the incredulous gazes of the entire workshop, the two individuals reached an agreement on the spot, their swords drawn and tensions high

Muzi Xu dialed the phone number of the Human Resources Department at Hongfa Flour Factory and politely inquired, "May I ask if you are still hiring?"

"Are you looking for trouble?" someone behind Wu Haotian suddenly pointed at Mu Zixu and shouted.

That night, Mu Zixu remained awake throughout the night

Thereafter, Wu Haotian began to make things difficult for Mu Zixu at every turn, while Mu Zixu did not back down, arguing with reason. The relationship between the two quickly became irreconcilable.

On the seventh day of Muzi's work at the factory, the accumulated conflicts finally erupted

On the afternoon of the second day, Mu Zixu had already changed into his work uniform and was standing in the packaging workshop of the Hongfa Flour Mill

Muzi Sequence: "What if a player has an urgent matter and coincidentally you are not at work, what should be done"

Muzi's sudden question caught Wu Haotian off guard for a moment; after such a long time, this was the first person who dared to question him.

Go find Wu Haotian and let him know that not everyone will fear his dominance, and not all crimes can be concealed by power and money. You must make him pay for his malevolence

Muzi Preface: "Is there something going on? This question from m.hetushu.com is truly delightful"

He bought a whiteboard and hung it on the wall, while simultaneously researching information online and occasionally writing something on the whiteboard

The plan is quite simple—optimal utilization of resources

Muzi Xu showed no signs of weakness and, looking at the people around, shouted: "Since this is the case, then let’s all skip the line and grab it!"

Personality traits: lecherous, impulsive, arrogant, self-righteous

Muzi Xu, in a very manly manner, slammed the packaging machine and exclaimed: "I quit! If you have the ability, come at me openly, Wu! Stop being so petty and resorting to underhanded tactics behind my back!"

Despite having not slept a wink all night, he showed no signs of fatigue; instead, he was filled with a spirited determination

... ...

Muzi's preface: "Yet I am merely a scholar with no strength to bind a chicken, as you are well aware, right?"

After a three-year hiatus, returning to the life of a worker and the routine of nine-to-five, Muzi Xu suddenly felt as if he were a high-level spy on a top-secret mission

Muzi Xu conducted a thorough study of Wu Haotian's personality traits and behavioral patterns, discovering that it is quite difficult to approach him outside the factory; therefore, the only solution is to ... ...

Boss: Of course

The boss: "Accidents can be created not only in the dark."

Boss: "It is not my working hours right now, please speak quickly if you have something to say"

Boss: "Understood"

Muzi Preface: "Do you also have leisure time?"

As the characters and graphics on the whiteboard wwwhetushu.com continued to increase, the outline of a plan gradually took shape in his mind

Muzi's Preface: "... So you mean to say that you want me to go to my death? I can't even defeat Wu Haotian in a one-on-one fight, let alone a group of people..."

Boss: "Is there something you need?"

Boss: "No. As someone who writes high-IQ mystery novels, you should be well aware of a principle: that most of the time, intelligence is far more important than brute force"

The other workers, who were anxiously waiting in line, suddenly began to make a commotion. It seemed that the entire cafeteria was on the verge of chaos. Fortunately, at that moment, the restaurant manager walked in and managed to calm things down. Wu Haotian shot a resentful glare at Mu Zixu before turning and walking away

Wu Haotian, male, 29 years old, is the packaging workshop director at Hongfa Flour Mill

The other workers merely glanced, secretly furrowing their brows and pointing a couple of times, as if that sufficed; they had evidently grown accustomed to such situations.

That night, Mu Zixu did not stay in the dormitory of the flour mill, but instead returned to the house he rented. He had originally intended to pay the rent, but unfortunately, the landlord was not at home, so he had to give up.

Muzi's Preface: "I know that you must want me to solve the problem by creating an accident. But the key is that both the coffee cup incident and the perfume bottle incident were carried out in secret, without the target being aware. This time is different; the matter of my one-on-one confrontation with Wu Haotian is already known to everyone. How can I create an accident in this situation?"

Then, he had the following conversation with his boss

The information was certainly sent by the boss. Now Mu Zixu begins to understand why the boss asked him to change his phone

Muzi's Preface: "Are you saying that you will send a martial arts expert or something to help me deal with Wu Haotian?"

Boss: "Hmm. I think it is very necessary to remind you that you may have misunderstood the term 'one-on-one'"

Describing Wu Haotian with the three characters "tall, rich, and handsome" is nothing short of fitting. Mu Zixu discovered that his new superior was even more handsome in person than in the photos, yet also more arrogant and insufferable than he had imagined

Muzi's Preface: "Then are you not going to say something now that you want me to have a one-on-one with Wu Haotian?"

Muzi Preface: "Of course I understand this. Next, you are surely going to say, think about how the coffee cup incident and the perfume bottle incident were handled, right?"

Regarding Mu Zixu's seemingly petulant decision, everyone believed he had gone mad. Although this approach was passionate and filled with righteousness, it was...

Muzi Preface: "Ah?"

Muzi's Preface: "Enough with the small talk, just go ahead and tell me your plan!"

This is more akin to suicide

As they were growing increasingly impatient, Wu Haotian and his group burst into the cafeteria, making a commotion as they pushed through the crowd and headed straight for the counter, behaving as if the people waiting in line were completely nonexistent

Boss: "No. I believe that your duel with Wu Haotian is likely to end up like a scenario where you are single-handedly taking on a group of them."

And this time, the so-called high bonus task given to him by the boss is to rewrite Wu Haotian's destiny

The boss said, "We are all mere mortals, and we all need rest"

A discerning person can immediately tell that Wu Haotian is settling personal scores and deliberately looking for trouble to target others

Three days later, resolve the grievances in the most manly way

Wu Haotian, accustomed to calling the shots, had never faced such provocation. Therefore, he immediately stated that if it was to be done openly, then so be it. If you decide to quit, it doesn't matter; you shouldn't expect to receive a single cent of your salary or deposit

Scheduled battle, suicidal scheduled battle

Muzi's Preface: "Alright... back to the main topic, I have done as you said and scheduled a one-on-one match with Wu Haotian in three days."

After quietly lurking for two days and closely observing Wu Haotian, on the third day after entering the factory, Mu Zixu began his first plan as instructed by the boss

At least, it is now very convenient to receive the photos he sends.

However, Mu Zixu could not tolerate such behavior and openly challenged Wu Haotian, saying: "Hey! Director Wu! Does being a leader make you superior? Why don't you queue up?"

This is the exact wording of the boss at that time

Muzi's Preface: "Resources ... ... ? Apart from my own life, what other resources do I have at my disposal?"

Mu Zixu was responsible for a very simple packaging task. One day, Wu Haotian suddenly approached Mu Zixu and stated that all the packages he had sealed the previous day were substandard and needed to be redone, and that he would be fined 200 yuan
