Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 308 - 224: Acquaintances (Triple - )

Hot Spring Resort, Villa

Bai Muran sat on the sofa, smoking gloomily puff after puff.

"What’s up, Brother Bai? Why did you urgently call me over?"

Wang Hao pushed the door open and sat on the sofa.

Bai Muran stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and looked up at Wang Hao:

"You heard about the Maoshan affair?"

"Yeah! I heard about it."

Wang Hao scrutinized Bai Muran, asking somewhat oddly:

"Your connections at the Settlement Camp, they’re not on the City Lord’s side, are they?"

Bai Muran shrugged.

Goodness!

This has turned into a confrontation now.

But that doesn’t really matter.

Although Ji Aimin and Chen Tianlei are competitors, they’re both part of the First Settlement Camp.

There might be small skirmishes between them, but it’s unlikely to escalate into a full-blown conflict.

Neither of them is actually from the Settlement Camp, so they won’t become enemies because of it.

"Do you have one of the three spots on the City Lord’s side?"

Wang Hao asked with a furrowed brow.

Bai Muran’s capabilities are quite good.

If he can join us this time, it would be some reassurance.

It would give me more confidence.

"No, but I’m planning to go with some leaders of private forces."

Bai Muran narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Maoshan is different from Purple Gold Mountain, it’s the site of the Shangqing Sect, even in the past, it had thriving incense offerings."

Even if it’s a bit risky, it’s worth it."

Wang Hao blinked his eyes.

Looks like this trip to Maoshan might attract a lot of Superpower Users.

Although everyone knows there are things like Barrier Arrays there, not every place has them.

Maoshan is massive.

As the home of the Shangqing Sect, the hidden opportunities inside are certainly more than one.

Even some simple little things could be huge opportunities for people these days.

"Then I’ll join you guys when the time comes."

Wang Hao suggested that it’s safer to stick with the main group.

The distance from here to Maoshan is much further than from his place to Purple Gold Mountain.

Though one could detour through the outskirts, the roads aren’t very good, and as time passes, the monsters evolve faster and faster.

Advanced monsters might also emerge from the Demon Cave.

The journey is still quite dangerous.

Out of caution, it’s better to follow the main group.

"That’s doable, but I suggest you don’t."

Bai Muran looked at Wang Hao with some helplessness.

Wang Hao paused, then understood.

The likes of Bai Muran are all wild folks.

They don’t have little gold medals.

But he does!

They wouldn’t dare make a move in the Settlement Camp, but what about outside?

Especially if Wang Hao tags along with them.

It’s like having a soldier escorting a chest of gold among a group of bandits.

How could those people possibly resist?

"Sigh... Looks like I’ll have to go on my own."

Wang Hao sighed and expressed some helplessness, looking at Bai Muran and saying lightly:

"Are you planning to go to Maoshan and then rob the official contestants from the Settlement Camp?"

"That’s definitely an idea. People die for wealth, as birds die for food."

Bai Muran didn’t deny it and candidly admitted:

"But everyone follows the unwritten rules. We’ll try not to target contestants from the same Settlement Camp.

The other Settlement Camps probably have the same rules."

"Hmm!"

Wang Hao nodded, looking at Bai Muran with some curiosity:

"You urgently called me over; there must be something else important, right?"

"It’s about the City Lord and the Commander."

Bai Muran glanced at Wang Hao, his expression growing solemn:

"Right now, the City Lord and the Commander are in a power struggle. Although the City Lord is somewhat at a disadvantage, he can still hold his ground. One handles the military, and the other politics.

Most policies are drafted and issued by the City Lord, although the Commander has veto power, he can’t possibly oversee everything."

"I get what you mean. Don’t worry, I have my own gathering place. This time, I’m just participating as Chen Tianlei’s representative for mutual interests.

There’s no way I’m sacrificing myself for him. You know I’m not foolish."

Wang Hao leaned back on the sofa, now understanding.

This Bai Muran is probably a spokesperson for the City Lord’s side.

Given his capabilities, if he were to join Chen Tianlei, Chen Tianlei would have a leading Superpower User on his side.

The pressure on the City Lord’s side would be immense.

"Hahaha, that’s good; I knew you’re a smart guy, brother."

Bai Muran laughed heartily; a weight lifted off his heart:

"You’re right. No matter how good the Settlement Camp is, it’s still someone else’s. Our own territory is ours.

After Maoshan, I’ll procure some things from here and then head home."

"I’m about the same. It’s more comfortable at home."

Wang Hao looked at Bai Muran, a flash of hesitation in his eyes.

He took a lollipop out of his pocket, popped it into his mouth, and finally asked: 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Any news on Zhou Yun?"

"Zhou Yun? Yeah, I do!"

Bai Muran gave Wang Hao a peculiar glance:

"Why? You still have some thoughts about her?"

"After all, we’ve had a few enjoyable nights. She served excellently. Had she not come, it would be fine, but since she’s here, I should see how she’s doing.

I’m not someone who forgets after a fling."

Wang Hao said nonchalantly.

"Haha, Younger Brother Wang, you truly are a sentimental man."

Bai Muran chuckled and began talking about Zhou Yun:
