Lv Bai took off the headset and looked up at the hooded man in front of him.

He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Yo, Old Ding, your job scope is pretty wide, huh."

Ding Zhongmin chuckled: "Let’s go, we don’t stand on ceremony here. Just go right in."

"Okay."

Lv Bai clicked the mouse to shut down the computer and got up to follow Ding Zhongmin to a nightclub called Truth or Dare.

He didn’t bother to ask how this guy knew he was here, after all, whatever Ability the other had, he could see.

The nightclub hadn’t started business yet, and the heavy door was slightly ajar.

In the dim hallway, Ding Zhongmin led the way ahead while whispering: "To show how much we value you, a vice-president came to meet you personally this time. You mustn’t let the Society down."

Can Society has a total of one president and two vice-presidents.

Typically, newcomers have to be led by senior members for a while until they prove trustworthy before they can interact with the higher-ups of Can Society.

However, Lv Bai’s performance in the deathmatch showdown was so impressive that it made the usually cautious members of the Can Society eager to make early contact.

"Don’t worry, Old Ding, don’t you know me by now?"

Lv Bai sped up his pace, putting an arm around Ding Zhongmin’s shoulder, as if they were old friends of decades.

Ding Zhongmin’s mouth twitched a little; he wanted to say it was just their second meeting.

But in the end, he held it back and laughed twice to ease the awkwardness.

Entering the nightclub, Lv Bai quickly scanned the people present.

The number of people was about the same as last time, and he’d mostly met them before.

There was only an extra man in a flashy red suit.

Kang Meiru’s rounded legs were wrapped in black stockings, and she sat beside the man, looking particularly well-behaved.

As soon as Lv Bai and Ding Zhongmin emerged from the hallway, the flashy-suited man immediately waved at them, appearing quite friendly.

"Haha, you’re here?"

[Data file detected, would you like to read?]

Lines of semi-transparent small text appeared before Lv Bai’s retina.

His gaze locked onto the flashy-suited man, expecting that this guy was likely the vice-president.

This was evident from the number of Abilities the man possessed.

Unlike the others present, this flashy-suited man had three Abilities.

Two colorful, one golden. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

[Absolute Cloud Severance (Colorful): After an untargetable flash step, accumulate power to unleash a fire and wind dual-attribute slash strong enough to shatter mountains and crack the earth. During the charge phase, the user is in a super-armor state, with significantly increased defense and immunity to interruption.]

[Multi-shadow Clone Technique (Colorful): Evenly distributes stamina to create clones that can attack. The number of clones is limited by the user’s strength. Clones dissipate upon any degree of damage, and upon dissipation or automatic cancellation, all memories and skills acquired during their duration are fed back to the original body.]

[Wall of Fire (Gold): Creates a ten-second-lasting fire wall that cannot be seen through. The user’s stamina consumption affects the fire wall’s length, width, and height, inflicting burn damage on contact. Contact by the user triggers a healing effect.]

These three Abilities were not weak, and their versatility was notably high.

Lv Bai almost couldn’t resist the urge to read these three Abilities directly.

Especially that colorful [Multi-shadow Clone Technique].

Perhaps it’s not exceptionally powerful for combat, but just the memory and skill proficiency feedback to the main body makes it an unparalleled learning Ability.

Hesitating for a moment, Lv Bai eventually decided to refrain from taking action.

This is only one vice-president; it’s likely the other vice-president and the real president have even more useful Abilities.

Calming down, he decided to play the long game.

"Hey, wasn’t the meeting supposed to be at eight? I figured it’s still early, but everyone’s already here."

Lv Bai responded with a cheerful smile, then naturally took a seat directly opposite the man.

It’s worth noting that the text message had said to meet at eight, but it was barely past seven.

"Yes, because you, Murphy, just joined us, and we haven’t established even a basic level of trust yet. I thought I’d gather everyone to discuss how to interact with you, so their text messages said to meet at seven."

The flashy-suited man spoke directly, laying out their arrangements without even consulting the others, causing Kang Meiru, sitting next to him, to furrow her brows at his candid words.

"I just love your straightforward style," Lv Bai couldn’t help but smile.

The flashy-suited man nodded and said, "Let me introduce myself; my surname is Zheng, and everyone calls me President Zheng."

"Hello, President Zheng."

Lv Bai went with the flow, regardless of whether it was true or not: "So, President Zheng, why did you gather everyone here this time?"

President Zheng slightly tilted his head, sighing melancholically: "I just feel that Can Society has been low-key for too long. If we don’t make a big move, people might forget our reputation."

"What do you mean, President Zheng?" Lv Bai tilted his head.

Upon this question, President Zheng noticeably snapped out of his melancholic mood.

He clapped his hands, appearing somewhat excited: "With the annual New Year’s event approaching, I was thinking if there’s any room for some activities during this time."

Lv Bai didn’t care about whatever scheme they had in mind; he only had one question: "Will the president also be taking action then?"

President Zheng: "Of course, the president wouldn’t miss this kind of team-building activity..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a young man disguised as a bar waiter with yellow hair rushed into the hall in a panic.

"It’s not good, people from Daxiang Campus have come looking for us."

As soon as he said this, everyone went into an uproar.

"How is that possible?"

"Our base has never been exposed."

"There’s a Traitor!"

Someone even directly pointed at Lv Bai: "It’s you!"

Lv Bai: "..." It really wasn’t me.

Ding Zhongmin hastily stood up: "Everyone, evacuate quickly! Take the back door!"

The hall descended into chaos, like a swarm of headless flies.

President Zheng took a deep breath, got up, and patted Lv Bai’s shoulder: "Take care!"

Before he finished his sentence, he "poofed" into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.

Lv Bai: "?"

Although there’s no evidence, he suspected that the base’s exposure might be this guy’s doing.

...

"Are you saying you were just surfing the web when a pimp approached you, and then you followed him into this nightclub on a whim?"

In the bare interrogation room, two men dressed as policemen sat at the interrogation table, staring at Lv Bai with peculiar expressions.
