Chapter 154 - 151
Wen Nan's resolute words instantly quieted the noisy dormitory.
...Disturbance?
Every word of this task is clearly written, what's the problem...?
It's not just about having Mr. Jiao remove this issue... How else can it be solved?
The six members present all had question marks over their heads.
But no one actually voiced their doubts—
All the members had unwavering faith in the president's judgment.
"President, whatever we should do, just give the order!"
Huang Yan shouted, with such a demeanor that if Wen Nan ordered him to kill or set fire, he wouldn't even blink.
Before the task countdown refreshed, Wen Nan had actually considered having them first follow his plan and use Mr. Jiao to tear up the confidential document as a test. But now, with only 15 minutes left in the task and no room for error, choosing wrongly would surely result in a timeout.
There's no time to explain.
"Give me Mr. Jiao."
Before Wen Nan's voice faded, Yang Mingzhong had already handed him the black beetle.
"Stand by where you are, wait for my news!"
Wen Nan grabbed Mr. Jiao and sprinted away from the refresh point, heading as fast as he could to the 3rd floor of the Erin Group Headquarters Building.
At the end of the corridor, the secret door Guan Ailin had opened the previous night was still embedded in the wall.
Standing by that secret door, Wen Nan raised his hand and placed it on the door lock.
Sensing Wen Nan's warmth, the door lock flashed with light and then opened with a "ding" sound inward.
It seems Guan Ailin's message to him after the sub-task was completed was true—this secret door was always open for him.
Pushing open the secret door, Wen Nan walked straight through the "Rich Women's Happy Room" to the corner, stood before the door leading to the confidential laboratory, took out the [Laboratory Key], and with a "click," opened the door.
Entering the confidential laboratory, Wen Nan went straight to the administrator's square table, grabbed the two marker pens on the table, and carefully examined them.
Indeed, the two pens, which looked identical at first glance, had slight differences on the barrel—
One pen bore the A.L. logo, while the other was blank, without any mark.
All items of Erin Group, regardless of size or value, bore the A.L. logo.
In this entire confidential laboratory, from the rows of black metal boxes on the shelves to the tables and chairs in the corner, including the documents and notebooks Gu Jinxing and his team took out, all had the Erin Group logo.
But this object, deliberately fashioned in the shape of an Erin Group standardized marker pen, was the sole anomaly in this room.
And this anomaly was the real root of the problem.
Hu Jiayao was able to trigger the completion of the second main task when he stood by the table, flipped open this marker pen, and then picked up a piece of confidential document.
The real trigger action wasn't "picking up the document," but "flipping open the marker pen."
Because Hu Jiayao accidentally touched the key item, he inadvertently completed the task.
This task didn't require picking up or scanning verification; only completing the "
But then again, the main tasks in this instance were seamlessly connected, and even if he had the chance for a draw, there was no time for it anyway.
As he thought about it, the screen above switched—
[Congratulations to all players! Main Task 4 has officially ended!]
[Now entering the countdown to the opening of Main Task 5—]
[00:00:03—]
[00:00:02—]
[00:00:01—]
[Beep!]
[New player tasks have been delivered, please check!]
[Main Task 5: Uproot the problem and journey with Erin to the grand harmony of life!]
Hmm, uprooting the problem is referring to the pen that Wen Nan is currently holding, right?
But...what is this about the grand harmony of life?!
