The Young Master is the most adamant Chun skeptic, even suspecting that Chun was behind the whale spice issue.

Though hard to believe, it's merely disbelief that Chun could rise to such heights.

So after the shock, he immediately believed it. Perhaps, Chun's rise is also an opportunity in chaos!

The Young Master immediately checked the global forum for related news.

At this time, Chun had already climbed to number one on the global trending list, helped naturally by his own efforts to stir the waters with a publicity campaign.

And now, the 11th spot further propelled Chun's trending status into a solitary front-runner.

Then the Young Master saw several new trending topics: "Sariel's big move, replacing the incompetent Guardian God of Silver City with a Mermaid?" "The world's second Sariel faces severe operational issues"...

The Young Master raised an eyebrow, as these two dominated the trending screen, only a small spark is needed to explode them!

Indeed, he had previously warned Sariel that the whale had issues related to Chun.

So let's use this as the fuse, let Sariel's Angel Race wipe out Chun!

The Young Master said solemnly, "Have the publicity team contact the China District shooters, and reveal the whale issue from the perspective of China District players! Don't mention Chun, let the readers draw their own conclusions."

"Understood!"

As for now, the Young Master had to face the reality of changing supervisors!

The Young Master was bewildered; are the conditions set by this new supervisor still demon-like? More demon-like than a demon!!

What kind of fool demands an eight-hour work schedule? No overtime allowed? What's the point of these 3,000 people then?

The Young Master was anxious, "No way! We don't want an 8-hour work schedule; we demand to work all day! If not, then... we'll go on strike!!"

...

Chun wandered around the first floor, and although he didn't solve any problems, his emotions were pumped, and he returned to his booth confidently.

And he actually saw Aileen uncover an entrance to a basement!

Holy shit!

Chun was incredulous, "So fast? So smoothly?"

Aileen said annoyed, "Is this the spot you just dug?"

Chun then realized, "No!"

Aileen replied, "Listen to the sound! The sound from solid ground and hollow ground is different! The spot you dug is solid ground..."

Ah, life tips, dare I call myself an engineer? Learned something new.

Chun personally started digging, chipped away the buried wooden door with a few strokes, and the midday sunlight penetrated the swirling dust, revealing a standard-sized bank safe, with a Magic Crystal Lock.

Chun was thrilled, is this originally supposed to be here, or does changing history make it come into existence?

Swipe the Black Flag Order!

—System prompt: Command accepted, safe unlocked successfully!

Opened!

Chun opened it and saw, it was empty!

Holy shit?

Activate the treasure hunting skill, scanned the entire basement, still nothing!

Ah, what is this? What's going on?

If the safe was originally here, then what's the point of placing it here? Equivalent to finding a safe, storing stuff for red names to prevent exposure upon death?

If changing history makes it come into existence, then what's with it being empty?

Aileen replied annoyed, "How did you communicate with the officials from a hundred years ago?"

"I just said it like that..."

Aileen was surprised, "You said this openly on the streets? Then the whole town would know, those with ulterior motives, even the successor Dog City Lord might have taken the results away!"

Holy shit, makes sense!

But at the time, busy finding the source of the disease, busy with paperwork, no familiar officials were confidants, simply... No way! Unwilling, how could it be just finding an empty safe? Firmly believe there must be clues...

Chun searched the basement walls up and down, and indeed found small words written on the wall, "Deepest Secret"!

Eh?

Chun was shocked, "Does this mean, this basement holds the deepest secret?"

Aileen replied, "This is handwritten by an employee. If it were a slogan, it should be painted in a prominent area using slogan fonts."

Could it possibly be an employee scribbling out of boredom?

Yes! This is the clue, enter puzzle-solving mode!

Chun instantly noticed the phrasing issue, "If it's a very important secret, it should be written as 'Highest Secret,' not 'Deepest,' right?"

Aileen agreed, "Exactly!"

Deepest! Chun instantly thought of the deep-water pool at the bottom of the mine, undoubtedly, that is the deepest place on the island! Is the secret there?

If it's truly there, then one possibility can be inferred: a Dog City Lord intended to embezzle the results, but there still were loyal people who transferred them in advance on the island!

And earlier, it was inferred, this island would be silenced due to leaking the secret of Magic Gold, then after leaving, the successor Dog City Lord still initiates a plague to annihilate the island... so ultimately, the history hasn't changed, this island still remains in ruin?

Anyway, go have a look, since he always planned to dive into the deepest part of the pool.

Chun immediately grabbed his tools and set off, glancing at the Siren overhead, seems all the island's crows were circling around her.

Great! She's training successfully.

Chun envisioned that if as he thought, really discovering the secret deep in the pool and activating this "Time Capsule," who knows what events will trigger. Then her crow army would be essential for survival...

Chun hurried to the pool pit.

Drank some wine to warm up and restore Physical Strength, summoned the Angel for safety against unexpected events. And at this time, the Angel, due to Divine Format embedded in equipment, couldn't fuse, though its Attributes remain explosive, it's still a Light Ball, just thicker.

Finally, Five Sea Souls possessed him, rapidly diving! Like taking a glass elevator into the deep water.

With Aileen's radar, the outlines of the pitch-black underwater terrain lay bare.

100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters!

500! Chun felt immense pressure! The Sea Soul Barrier almost squeezed flat!

But the deeper this was daunting, the more Chun believed there must be discoveries. Until—radar revealed a rotten iron door!

Found it! Is this the deepest warehouse in the mine?

Chun immediately went up to chisel the door, the rotten door after a hundred years was vulnerable, inside was a crossing passage. Crossing was good. Going deeper, pressure mounted.

The passage was stacked with collapsed rocks. Making it more challenging, right? Chisel!

Angel's "Physical Recovery" boosted!

Clearing the way, suddenly the Angel Pet spoke, "Secret chamber discovered, start opening process?"

Eh? A secret room requiring the Angel to open specially...

Chun was thrilled, "Open!"

The Angel Light Ball flew toward another broken door in the passage, directly sticking onto it like a flattened sheet, abruptly becoming a sparkling teleportation gate!

Finally found it!

Chun excitedly entered, the scene shifted!

It's a white little room, and within there was another safe!

A voice promptly sounded, "City Lord, Nancy has waited for you for a hundred years!"

Chun hurriedly turned to look, it was her! It was the same little Nancy previously seen, but different, clearly lost the childishness in her face!

Chun was shocked and bewildered! So who was that Nan in the seventh layer of Hell?
