Chapter 72 Encountering a Peer in the Card Room? Whos Outsmarting Whom?
Insane, absolutely insane!
Jiang Youshans strategy is bold! Directly deploying two hundred officers for the search?
Oh no, Im heading to Nancheng on business today. I was really looking forward to meeting my No. 37 Miss.
Hey, the person above, can we be friends? Could you send me Misss address? I need to critique it!
Now, THIS is pulling out all the stops! Its not just a battle of wits, we might even see a gunfight. How exciting! The police department is even sending people for on-the-job training, haha!
That Miss named Wang Yue is gorgeous! And shes a professor at such a young age? Impressive!
In the livestream, the change in rules and the words of the three captains, Jiang Youshan, Hong Feng, and Wu Mingyu, left everyone slightly taken aback.
In just a short time, the three captains had already mapped out a direction for the arrest. Jiang Youshans bold move to search all the citys bathhouses and KTVs in one night laid the groundwork for the next steps in the operation. With a bit of luck, they might even catch Wang Yun.
Of course, the audience was aware that Wang Yun was currently holed up in an unfinished building.
Today, first and foremost, well relocate our special task force to another location Ive already picked out, announced Wu Yaoming in the common center room, addressing the other captains.
Alright, Ill start by zeroing in on shops selling disguise materials and locating where Wang Yun bought his clothes, agreed Hong Feng.
Those are our two starting points. Tonight, well search for Wang Yun at any KTVs or bathhouses in the area. If were lucky and find him, great. If not, well come up with a new plan, added Wu Mingyu.
Alright! Everyone nodded vehemently, springing into action.
Currently, the captains actions are akin to real-life arrest operations. Let me take this opportunity to advise you all, unless you possess Wang Yuns capabilities, its best not to indulge in criminal activities, Director Fang warned with a smile as he watched them get started.
From the sidelines, Shen Hao interjected with a teasing question, chuckling, Director Fang, shouldnt it be Even if you possess Wang Yuns abilities, you shouldnt think committing crimes?
Let me put it this way, to pull off what Wang Yun has, you would need the nations top parkour skills, the worlds best wingsuit flying ability, the expertise of a doctor, the worlds top skateboarding prowess, and elite marksmanship. Additionally, a formidable IQ is mandatory. Oh, and lets not forget the worlds best ventriloquism skills. Seriously, who else but this freak of nature could manage all that? Director Fang spread his hands, If he didnt possess such terrifying capabilities, how could he have accomplished all this? The crucial point is, even after achieving all that, isnt he still a wanted man? If you have these skills, why not come directly to me? Ill offer you a special recruitment spot at the police department. Theres no need to resort to crime.
Hahaha, thats hilarious! I never thought Director Fang could be so entertaining.
A humorous legal educator indeed. If I had even one of Big Brothers skills, Id be a sensation! Why opt to be a fugitive? Thats just foolish!
We grew up under the red flag, aspiring to be model youths!
In the livestream, Director Fangs comment had many viewers bursting into laughter.

Meanwhile, Wang Yun, blissfully unaware of the changes within the broadcast team, had just woken up. After freshening up, getting dressed, and applying a little disguise, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and couldnt help but smile.
He was a sight to behold.
After dressing up and placing the technological chip on his clothing, Wang Yun asked, Production team, the daily reward will be five million starting from today, right?
Yes, responded the production team.
Ok.
A subtle smile appeared at the corners of Wang Yuns lips. Earning five million a day was not too shabby. That would be fifty million in ten days, five hundred million in a hundred days, and a billion in two hundred days.
Stay humble, stay humble, Wang Yun reminded himself.
He squinted slightly, and with a thought, he checked his attributes and shock value points. His face broke into a wide grin.

With such impressive attributes and a whopping 6.66 million astonishment points, Wang Yun was indeed a formidable character. This was even after he had maximized both his physique and IQ. Moreover, there was still the system reward from yesterday lingering in his mind.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for eliminating fifteen drug traffickers. The system has given you a score of 5 and rewarded you with two random god-level skills.
Congratulations on acquiring God-level Magic and God-level Card Mastery.
Being rewarded with two god-level skills felt incredibly powerful and somewhat surreal. Wang Yun felt as though he had become invincible in the world, with his lavish skills and attributes.
Being invincible is such a lonely, lonely feeling he hummed softly to himself while starting to inspect his gear.

Is Big Bro really singing? Is he getting a bit too cocky?
Hes full of himself! The gunfires already started next door, and heres Big Bro, smug as ever. Just wait, hell be crying soon.
The viewers in the livestream were taken aback to hear him singing.
One gun, thirty bullets, one submachine gun, one hundred and sixty bullets. Hmm? But now I have just a little over three hundred in cash. Seems Ive spent quite a bit these past few days, Wang Yun mused aloud as he looked over his possessions.
The bullets and the submachine gun were loot taken from the drug traffickers, which the production team allowed him to keep. However, they had been swapped out for similar prop guns.
Should I buy a generator? Do I need to sell my watch? Nah, as a formidable bandit, why should I need to sell anything?
Wang Yun thought to himself before heading outside.
Hello, Uncle! As Wang Yun stepped out, two young kids greeted him with warm smiles.
Hey there, kiddos! Where are your parents? Wang Yun asked, smiling back.
Moms gone out to buy groceries. Do you want to join us for a meal, Uncle? the little girl offered.
Wang Yun walked over and gently patted their heads. Not this time. I have to head out, but when I return, Ill bring you both some treats.
With a wave to the children, he continued on his way.
Goodbye, Uncle!
In high spirits, Wang Yun headed outside and took out his phone to find and lock onto a location.
After walking a few miles, he reached a bus stop. Being in a remote area, and despite having a phone, he couldnt afford any other transportation due to a lack of funds. Therefore, he had to take the bus. After a bus transfer and a taxi ride, he finally arrived at the city center.
Xinglong Card & Board Game Parlor.
Nowadays, board game parlors have become quite popular, with friends and family gathering in groups to play cards, mahjong, and other games. Of course, playing games with a bit of money involved amongst friends doesnt necessarily equate to gambling.
Currently, Wang Yun was strapped for cash, but he had plenty of places to spend money. First, there was the generator. Second, a car.
Though his lock-picking skills could easily net him a car, Wang Yun didnt want to draw unwanted attention. For now, he planned to keep a low profile and discreetly develop his resources.
Earning five million a day doesnt sound too bad, does it?
He had used two of the human skin masks, with two remaining. Additionally, by altering these masks, he could create six new faces, perfect disguises.
Xinglong Card & Board Game Parlor was the largest and most luxurious parlor in Nancheng. Upon entering, Wang Yun approached the service desk, his eyes settling on the attendant. Excuse me, miss, could you help me join a game? Im here alone.
Joining a game, was a service for individuals who wish to play cards or mahjong but lack companions, hence they join others to form a group. Most parlors offered this service as there were many card game enthusiasts.
We do offer game joining options. However, we would like to remind you, sir, to engage in light play and refrain from heavy gambling, as we are a legitimate establishment. Furthermore, the people you team up with are not affiliated with us. Please also be vigilant and protect your belongings to prevent loss or falling victim to scams, the receptionist professionally advised.
Understood, thank you, Wang Yun nodded in agreement.
Theres someone in Room 023 looking for someone to join up for a game, and theres no charge for you, the receptionist said.
Okay, Wang Yun nodded and headed toward Room 023.

Hmm? What brings Big Brother to the card room? Is he looking to win some money?
He must be. But does Big Brother know how to play? This game relies a lot on luck!
Card games require skill too. Maybe hes a hidden gambling king?
Perhaps Big Brother is just bored and wants to have some fun with cards. Besides, he has that watch, which could fetch a good price.
Card games are probably Big Brothers only form of entertainment now. He cant even go online and play games since he doesnt have an ID card, haha!
In the livestream, the audience erupted in chatter as they saw Wang Yun enter the game room.
***
Wang Yun arrived at Room 023, knocked on the door, and was met with a Come in! Upon entering, he saw four people, two women, and two men, all of whom looked wealthy based on their attire and demeanor.
Hey, bro, youre here to fill in? Youre just in time. Im done playing. Ive lost so much, Im practically without pants. You taking my place is just perfect. Im out, a young man said, addressing Wang Yun directly.
Hmm? Sure. Wang Yun nodded, taking the seat the young man had vacated.
Were just playing for fun. We dont know all the fancy rules and we dont keep a strict count of the money. A win nets you two hundred yuan, and if you win consecutively, it doubles. If you think thats too high, we can do a hundred per round. Cant really lose much, its all in good fun, the young man across from Wang Yun explained.
You guys dont keep tabs on the money? Isnt two hundred per round a bit low? The base is only six hundred yuan, and even with consecutive wins, its just eleven hundred. Wang Yun spoke up, revealing his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch, and placed it on the table.
At most four hundred. We cant play too high, Big Brother. Im still a newbie, said a woman sitting on the left, her gaze flicking briefly to Wang Yuns watch.
Hehe, all right then. Win against three players, and consecutive wins double the stakes, Wang Yun replied with a grin, rolling up his sleeves. Im feeling lucky today, hoping to win some gas money.
Lets do it. Ive already lost five thousand yuan just now. There goes my living expenses for several days, lamented another woman on the right, shaking her head.
Haha, if you run out of money, Ill cover you, Wang Yun offered, smiling cheekily at her.
Thanks, Big Brother. You can just let me win a few hands and feed me some good cards, she replied with a laugh, her clothes swaying playfully.
Haha, well see if you can catch those cards, Wang Yun chuckled, his eyes narrowing slightly in amusement as he scanned the three players, casually popping a piece of gum into his mouth.
This was getting interesting. He had come to make some extra cash, and what did he find? Fellow professionals? A rigged game? What a delightful and unexpected surprise. He was thrilled to the core.
