Chapter 167 Inside and Out

The moment those words were spoken, silence fell over the prison, both inside and out, encompassing friend and foe alike. You Ge and the others had already pondered the issue of a spy back when they first entered the dungeon. Shui Shen had even offered numerous terrible ideas, but in the end, they couldn't find a reasonable way to identify the culprit. Finding a spy in a game was notoriously difficult.

In contrast, imagine how difficult it would be to be an undercover agent in real life, trying to extract inside information. Eavesdropping on phone calls, breaking into safes, accessing confidential computers – each step fraught with risk. In the game, things weren't so professional. Basically, you just had to be nominally affiliated with the guild to receive messages on the guild channel. It was even better if you could worm your way into a core position. And as for the dangerous act of sending messages to your own people, in the game, all you had to do was send a message, write an email, or even contact them offline. The system knew, you knew, I knew – the secrecy was impeccable. There was no need to worry about exposure. What's more, even if you were exposed, so what? You could just dust off your clothes, leave the guild, and still be a hero in your own guild… In real life, a mole who was exposed was as good as dead – a real death! The psychological pressure was immeasurably different.

Rooting out spies was hard. Otherwise, the guild leaders wouldn't have turned a blind eye to the fact that their guilds were filled with so many two-faced agents from other guilds. But now, Han Jia Gongzi seized such a unique opportunity and used a special method to publicly unearth a truly heaven-defying spy. It was truly sharp.

The Heaven-Defying players were looking at each other, as were the Black Index Finger gang. But everyone's opinion was quite consistent: Han Jia Gongzi's move was very sharp, and the spy was probably about to be exposed.

Everyone thought so, even the spy himself. This person was also extremely straightforward, knowing that he was likely to be sold out by the guild leader. Since you're selling me out, I might as well sell you out! So, an odd scene unfolded. A guy still in the dungeon suddenly leaped to the prison door and shouted loudly, "I am the spy!!!"

A chorus of boos erupted. People couldn't even bother with anger at this point; they were all shocked by the spy's behavior. Many couldn't figure out why he was so brave in admitting it. Did he really think there was such a thing as leniency for confessing?

But Han Jia Gongzi was the one who cut to the heart of the matter. He said with a smile, "Because this friend has a very high level of awareness and superb answering skills, all you guild leaders are screwed. No discounts, pay the original price!"

Everyone finally understood. This spy knew that he was going to be sold out by the guild leaders for money, so he simply seized the moment when the guild leaders were still hesitating and shouted out first. The outcome was the same for him, but the guild leaders who missed the chance to answer wouldn't be able to save the money they wanted to save.

The guild leaders were all depressed and sullenly handed over the money.

"Let me handle the dirty work!" You Ge bravely rushed forward to receive the money bags. The Heaven-Defying players had been besieged together and imprisoned together. This shared adversity was the easiest way to build a relationship. Seeing You Ge's appearance at this moment, the guys inside and outside the prison all cheered joyfully, shouting, "You Ge, do you have that much carrying capacity?"

"Mind your own business!" You Ge said without looking back.

The Black Index Finger gang was still here, and it was naturally rather embarrassing. They greeted everyone and prepared to leave, but You Ge raised his head and said with an honest look, "The money hasn't been counted yet!"

The guild leaders were depressed. Gu Fei was still generous and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, go! Contact us if there's not enough." The guild leaders were granted amnesty and almost fled in disarray. Some were even worried as they ran: Did I count my money wrong? What if Qian Li Zui contacts me if I really made a mistake? What does he mean by contacting me? Hinting? Threatening?

"How should this money be divided?" You Ge asked excitedly while hugging the money bag.

"We'll split it three ways! What's it to you?" Han Jia Gongzi pointed at Gu Fei, then at Piaoliu, and said to You Ge.

You Ge froze on the spot, as did all the players. Yu Tian Shen Ming pointed at Piaoliu and shouted loudly, "I protest! Why is that guy who deserted the battle still getting a share of the money? I strongly protest!"

"Protest denied. This is the organization's arrangement," Gu Fei said.

Piaoliu smiled and went to take the money bag. You Ge was still in a daze and actually forgot to stop him.

"What's the total number of people in prison?" Han Jia Gongzi asked You Ge.

"Fifty-one? Oh no, fifty…" You Ge reported, remembering to subtract the spy.

"Do the division, you can do it," Han Jia Gongzi patted him.

You Ge realized that Han Jia Gongzi was joking and asked happily, "Divide by four million?"

"Two million!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

You Ge didn't say anything. Although these guys outside had actually solved the crisis, which was a great feat, if the difference in distribution was too great, it would still cause dissatisfaction among the poor. Fairness was actually quite difficult.

You Ge was observing the other players' reactions to the distribution method when he heard Han Jia Gongzi already saying, "There were a lot of people who helped outside."

"Oh…" You Ge finally realized and immediately began to feel ashamed that they were just sitting in prison, preserving their lives, and still getting money. See, balance was really hard.

"Qian Li is detached from low-level interests and isn't interested in money, right?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"Whatever," Gu Fei said indifferently.

But Han Jia Gongzi still casually took a money bag of 50,000 gold coins and threw it to Gu Fei. Then he took 50,000 for himself.

The people in prison had all done the division. Dividing two million by fifty, they each got 40,000. And these two heroes only took 50,000 each. With such a distribution, no one could have any objections.

Piaoliu was also sensible and didn't elevate himself to the level of Gu Fei and Han Jia Gongzi. He took 40,000. This was actually what Han Jia Gongzi had told him: "You can't have less than the brothers in prison…"

But at this time, Piaoliu deeply realized Han Jia Gongzi's depravity. He could indeed not have less than the brothers in prison, but with Gu Fei and Han Jia Gongzi only taking 50,000 each, how much more could he take? How could he have the nerve to take more than these two? If no one was around, he wouldn't care. Taking 40,000 at this time, Piaoliu became nervous when he saw Gu Fei hesitating with the 50,000. He sent Gu Fei a naked message: "I'm telling you, don't be polite. If you don't take the money, who else has the face to take it? Except for that Han Jia Gongzi."

Gu Fei smiled after receiving this message and put away the money.

Then Han Jia Gongzi kicked the money on the ground: "Zuo Shou Xie Ai, You Shou Xie Shuai (Left Hand Writes Love, Right Hand Writes Handsome), Daocao Mu, and that what's-his-name, Sen Sen."

These four had also played some role in the arduous struggle outside the dungeon, and each took 40,000.

"Don't kick it around, don't kick it around, it's going to refresh in a while," You Ge hurriedly collected the money.

"Fifty thousand, fifty thousand, four fives are twenty thousand, that leaves one million seven hundred thousand," Han Jia Gongzi calculated, then looked at the imprisoned crowd: "Did anyone die and drop equipment?"

Everyone scratched their heads: "We didn't die, we're in prison, we won't drop equipment."

"Oh, then did anyone lose a level?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

Everyone turned their heads. Lonely Sword Ghost was over there by himself, he had lost two levels.

"Let Sword Ghost take an extra 100,000!" You Ge said. He wouldn't feel bad at all if Sword Ghost took more money. Everyone could see how hard Sword Ghost played the game. He had never seen a master of his level lose levels so fiercely. You Ge sometimes thought it was terrible. He felt like he was getting psychological scars watching Sword Ghost lose levels, but how could Sword Ghost face it so calmly all the time?

Although Sword Ghost was on one side by himself, he was of course also participating in the Heaven-Defying prison conference. Hearing this, he said faintly, "No need!" That tone wasn't humility or politeness, but genuine indifference.

"The guild leader should take 100,000, the guild leader should take 100,000!" A group of people shouted, everyone was completely convinced by Sword Ghost as their guild leader.

"Otherwise, we don't want it either," someone shouted.

"Everyone's opinion. I'll keep it for you," You Ge didn't care what Sword Ghost said and collected 100,000 for Sword Ghost.

"Give me 50,000," Han Jia Gongzi gestured to You Ge.

"What for?"

"Losing two levels is 100,000, I lost one level!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Damn, you were waiting for this, I knew this guy wouldn't suddenly be so kind!!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming rebelled again.

"The 100,000 isn't for losing levels, it's because he's the guild leader, everyone agrees, right?" Zhan Wu Shang also joined in the heckling. They had no objections to giving Sword Ghost any amount, but giving Han Jia Gongzi even one gold coin felt extremely unreasonable. It would be best to trick this guy out of a few thousand like last time, that would be awesome!

Many people responded to Zhan Wu Shang's call, and everyone shouted yes. So Shui Shen smiled broadly: "Really? The guild leader has 100,000? Give me 100,000?"

Zhan Wu Shang was stunned, but Zhan Wu Shang always reacted cleverly to this kind of thing, and immediately asked, "Who are you?"

Shui Shen was furious.

"Do we have this person in our guild?" Zhan Wu Shang asked Yu Tian Shen Ming.

"No, he seems to be a spy from Jidu Shenhan of the Forest Shade City Guild," Yu Tian Shen Ming said seriously.

"Hey You Ge, did you count the wrong number of people just now? You even counted people from other guilds?" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"This…"

"It's really not necessary to count this," Han Jia Gongzi nodded.

"Han Jia Sunzi, you beast, animal, inhuman, scum! Eat shit!!!" Shui Shen cursed.

"Speaking of which, we should study the problem of this spy brother," Han Jia Gongzi turned a deaf ear to Shui Shen's direct abuse.

"What's your name?" Han Jia Gongzi asked the spy.

"Huainian," the spy replied. He knew it was impossible to hide, people in the guild could just do an elimination method to know who he was. Even if he quit the guild immediately, You Ge had recorded everyone's names when he counted the time everyone was in prison, so he could still be excluded.

"From the studio or the guild?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

Huainian didn't speak.

"From the studio," Han Jia Gongzi concluded.

"The studio people aren't afraid of death?" Gu Fei asked.

Han Jia Gongzi nodded: "If they don't have levels, they can be transferred to clerical positions."

"Clerical positions?"

Shui Shen, who claimed to know the most about studios, chimed in: "In the game, if you have a level, you need to fight in the game, or do tasks, or collect something to accumulate materials for the studio, that's considered a martial position; otherwise it's considered a clerical position."

"What about Wu Ye?" Gu Fei asked.

"That kind…leans towards clerical, they don't treat losing levels as a loss, they're all considered clerical," Shui Shen said.

"Then that kind must be a formal employee of the studio?" You Ge said.

"It should be," Shui Shen nodded, then turned to ask Huainian, "Are you?"

Huainian still didn't speak. Names were impossible to hide, he would say them; everything else was another matter.

"Looks like he can't say, he might get his bonus deducted," You Ge said.

"How much is the monthly salary?" Bashi Jinglun became interested, he had been dealing with studios a lot recently.

"A big studio, it should be good," Shui Shen said.

As the few of them discussed, Huainian was forgotten on the side, making Comrade Huainian directly stunned.

"Then is it still necessary to chase after him?" Gu Fei asked.

Han Jia Gongzi was thinking.

"Is everything outside alright now?" a player asked.

"More or less, the other guilds are still fighting lively!" Gu Fei said.

"What's going on?" someone asked.

"I don't know how they started fighting," Gu Fei was still pretending to be innocent. How the players of the city guilds felt about that was unknown. But speaking of which, most players really didn't know where this fuse was lit from.

"Let's go out first," Han Jia Gongzi waved his hand, "Let's see what's going on outside."

At this time, those still sitting in prison were all experts, experts of course had high PK values, so they had long prison sentences and couldn't get out for a while. On the other hand, those with low levels had all come out. Following behind top experts like Gu Fei, they walked out of the dungeon and onto the streets, finding that other players were detouring around them, and they immediately became extra energetic. In addition, with 40,000 gold coins each in their pockets, some people were happily about to burst into tears.

Han Jia Gongzi sent messages all the way, asking Nilu Ershang, asking Wushi Zhi Jian, asking Gu Xiaoshang about the situation.

Nilu Ershang was in tears, pouring out his bitter feelings, painfully complaining that he had fallen to such a sad end in order to uphold justice for Heaven-Defying.

"For us? Then how did you end up fighting Zongheng Sihai and the others?" Han Jia Gongzi pretended to be ignorant.

"They…they…" Nilu Ershang really wanted to throw dirt on Zongheng Sihai, but he knew that he couldn't treat Han Jia Gongzi as an idiot. Didn't this guy know everything? Thinking about it, Nilu Ershang's heart turned cold. He suddenly realized that after all the messing around, the final result was that the entire city's guilds were fighting each other, their strength was plummeting, and Heaven-Defying had become a spectator on the mountain. Was all of this directed by them behind the scenes? But it didn't seem like it, Heaven-Defying was indeed attacked very embarrassingly at the beginning…

On Wushi Zhi Jian's side, he finally defeated his old opponent who had been entangled with him since not long after the start of the game, and he was in an exceptionally good mood. He even chatted a few words with Han Jia Gongzi, who was never liked, and asked with great concern about the guild situation of Heaven-Defying.

As for Gu Xiaoshang! After a city war, she was familiar with Han Jia Gongzi, but not too familiar. In addition, she had always been straightforward, so she didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "You guys started all this trouble."

"We are innocent…is it wrong to win the city war? Everyone was rushing to make mistakes at the time," Han Jia Gongzi replied.

Gu Xiaoshang was speechless. Then, Han Jia Gongzi asked her to objectively evaluate the current situation. Gu Xiaoshang also honestly talked about her views: Dui Jiu Dang Ge had suffered a combined attack from the four major guilds before, with great losses, and was currently completely shrinking in the resurrection point. Most people had chosen to go offline. Their main opponent, Zongheng Sihai, was already preparing to withdraw. It was impossible for one guild alone to keep a guild locked in the resurrection point, anyway, Dui Jiu Dang Ge had already been badly hurt. Wushi Zhi Jian was prepared to continue attacking in the days to come, and completely defeat Dui Jiu Dang Ge in a month. Currently, everyone's views were consistent, Dui Jiu Dang Ge wanted to turn over, unless Qian Li Zui suddenly joined Dui Jiu Dang Ge.

"How's the situation?" You Ge waited beside Han Jia Gongzi for the results of the inquiry.

"If the current situation continues to develop, the Muyun Guild is crippled, Dui Jiu Dang Ge is going to be finished, the Black Alliance is half-crippled, and although Zongheng Sihai and Caiyun Jian will also have some damage, their morale must be extremely high," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"What else do we need to do?" You Ge asked.

"Divide all the money first," Han Jia Gongzi said. He had already contacted Mangmang de Mangmang, Yingzhong Yuezaizi and Lan Yi when he left the prison. Now they were all listening to Mangmang de Mangmang's command together.

Mangmang de Mangmang didn't know that things had been peacefully resolved, and led his men to kill over, but what he saw was that Gu Fei, Han Jia Gongzi and others were standing on the street as if nothing had happened.

"What's the situation?" Mangmang de Mangmang cautiously inquired with a message.

"Come and divide the money."

"Money? What money?"

"Those guys caused so much trouble for everyone, they felt very embarrassed, and later, under my hard work, they finally realized their conscience and decided to turn over a new leaf…"

Mangmang de Mangmang closed the message without finishing reading Han Jia Gongzi's message, walked over with a dark face, and glared at the crowd: "What's going on?"

You Ge began to take out money bags, one bag after another, while messaging Han Jia Gongzi: "Give all these to them?"

"Give them one million, leave 600,000 for Yunzhong Mu, is that how much is left?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"If you don't want the 50,000 for your lost level," You Ge said.

"Honestly, I should take 500,000, just forget about the 50,000!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Then I'll divide it like this," You Ge said while starting to hand the money to Mangmang de Mangmang: "Here is one million, everyone take it and divide it."

Mangmang de Mangmang opened his mouth wide, Lan Yi and Yingzhong Yuezaizi and others were also surprised. A million, no one present had ever seen it before.

These little players of Heaven-Defying had just seen 4 million, so they were calm at this time. Seeing the surprised look of the gang on the opposite side, they felt proud again. Frankly speaking, it was quite painful to distribute one million like this, but at this time, seeing the other party's reaction, they felt extremely superior. There seemed to be two or three hundred people on the other side. Dividing one million, in the end, each would only get three or five thousand. Such a small amount, what's so surprising! The guys of Heaven-Defying were now rich and powerful.

"They're really paying compensation…" Mangmang de Mangmang was surprised. They had killed each other to the death in Yueye City back then, where had they ever seen money to buy their lives. Mangmang de Mangmang couldn't accept such a spineless thing in his mind.
