I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 852 - 942: So It Turns Out Jing Shu and Her Team Are Not So Simple!!

Big Yellow Teeth the corpse chaser chuckled and pointed at the Daao Gambler, saying: "You understand, some things may seem like luck, but they actually require a foundation of skill. You really can’t do it."

Wang Yun glared at Big Yellow Teeth, unconvinced: "Why do you say that? Do you know what kind of strength our captain has? And this time, it was all because of our captain’s strength that we achieved such a result. Your team, with so many people, can’t even compare to one of our captains."

Yellow Teeth the corpse chaser felt a twinge of toothache. Why on earth was he saying such truths here?

The Daao Gambler shook his head and continued the analysis: "That ferry of theirs has a patrol system, and there must be dozens of Power Users on guard. The ferry is at least ten meters high. How could you poison everyone on board at the same time without alerting these Power Users? Taking a step back, you’d be discovered within ten miles of the ferry. How would you get close?"

With that, others were stumped. Right, the ferry is so large, surely the patrol system would be good, not to mention the numerous Power Users.

What method did they use to approach the other party?

"Did you figure out a way to approach such a large reconnaissance ferry?" the Daao Gambler fired one question after another.

Wang Yun scratched his head: "Stakeout in advance, hide under their ferry, and sneak up when they come."

Big Yellow Teeth looked at Wang Yun as if he were a fool: "Within dozens of miles of the ferry’s radar, how would you not be discovered, and how would you stakeout ahead of time? Would you wait endlessly for them to bump into you? Do you know where such a big ferry would be coming from?"

Wang Yun was stumped, unconvinced: "Then we’ll just do what Jing Shu and the others did."

"Do you know how they did it? This is what’s impressive about them; they have a broader reconnaissance range than the ferry’s. They anticipated their spot out ahead of time. No one on our entire ship, except the official ship, can do this! That’s point one," the Daao Gambler clarified.

Jing Shu, sitting in a corner of the conference room, heard this and faintly smiled with squinted eyes. This person saw it clearly. Not even the official ship surpassed her, because she spread out all the rotten mermaids, making the surrounding hundred miles her natural radar!

Seeing her subordinate Wang Yun still unconvinced, the Daao Gambler helplessly shook his head and explained again: "Point two, even if you staked out ahead of time and found the ferry, how would you board without alerting the dozens of duty Power Users on board? According to the report, the ferry was completely intact, without a single leak or breach."

Wang Yun thought hard. It wouldn’t work with their team’s abilities, but! "Zhou Mengyao next door has both Illusion Technique and hypnotism, which are better than Jing Shu’s. We can hypnotize everyone and tie them up to bring back. Wouldn’t that be more valuable?"

The Daao Gambler shook his head: "The ferry is larger than a football field and six stories high. Zhou Mengyao’s B-level ability can cover at most one-third of the range. If you can’t hypnotize everyone at once, others will find out and call for help. Moreover, the remaining hundred Power Users might directly counterattack, leading to a complete failure of the operation."

"By the way, let me add that among the Power Users this time, there were 5 A-level Spirit Controllers, immune to Zhou Mengyao’s abilities. Furthermore, Jing Shu’s team poisoned the entire ship at once, without letting a single person send a distress signal," Big Yellow Teeth added with a grin.

Cold sweat broke out on Wang Yun’s forehead. It sounded easy at first, but after listening to the analysis of these two bigshots, what Jing Shu and her team did seemed really challenging.

The Daao Gambler continued: "Point three, poisoning nearly a thousand people at once. To ensure the poison reaches everyone in a space the size of a football field, how would you accomplish that?"

Wang Yun’s face turned pale at this moment, and he shook his head.

Big Yellow Teeth chuckled: "Isn’t that simple? Just use the central air conditioning, but you’d have to poison the ventilation system first. The difficulty lies in, the ferry’s so big, how do you know where the air conditioning is? Even if you know, how do you manage it under so many watchful eyes?"

The Daao Gambler nodded, adding once more: "Even if the entire ship’s central air conditioning is on, how do you ensure the aging system works everywhere? How do you make sure air conditioning covers every spot? If some rooms lack it entirely, wouldn’t there be gaps allowing alarms to be raised?"

The Daao Gambler’s voice was loud enough for almost everyone to hear him.

Initially, everyone thought maybe the Daao Gambler was just being modest, saying he couldn’t do it. However, the elite guards present, being top-notch domestically, felt similarly to Wang Yun, thinking, if it were me, I could handle it too.

But after the Daao Gambler’s analysis, glances towards Jing Shu changed instantly; her team definitely had some real skills. What seemed simple for them actually felt quite unmanageable for others.

Just with the first step, they probably wouldn’t even be able to board the ship.

After speaking, seeing Wang Yun and his members no longer underestimating Jing Shu, the Daao Gambler finally let out a gentle sigh of relief. Close one!

He had almost given himself a powerful enemy! Although his life had relied on luck, a gambler’s eyes are sharp, and he instantly saw Jing Shu’s S-level designation wasn’t for show, nor was her country’s support of her.

Therefore, something that appeared simple hid immensely formidable strength to accomplish it with such ease! It seems they should treat Jing Shu and her group with more respect, cultivate a good relationship!

Once this thought was completed, the Daao Gambler gave Jing Shu a slight smile.

Jing Shu reciprocated with a smile but remained quite wary of the man. Sure enough, this old man wasn’t simple; to decipher so much from such straightforward information! In a setting where everyone despised her, he intentionally spoke loudly, as if offering her a favor?

Ah, she might have to adjust her plan to quietly make her fortune.

After hearing the explanation, Nannan’s face turned pale. This was entirely different from her expectations! So, Jing Shu truly had skills!? Then what about her, what about her—? At the thought, she gritted her teeth, feeling extremely resentful.

After announcing everyone’s achievements and the bounty from this time, even Yang Yang’s lips curled upward: "We struck gold with this one, and everyone made a hefty profit. Once we leave the South Sea, we can sell off these goods and set sail once more, aiming for even bigger catches! Considering how many Power Users were taken out this time, following events likely won’t end peacefully, so everyone stay alert! Let’s now designate our follow-up strategy!"

Even though it was Jing Shu’s team who did the killing, the burden falls on the entire team.

"So what! We’ll take on however many come!"

"The more that come, the more we’ll fight, they’ll just be delivering us bullets!"

"Exactly! Old Zhou said we’d have a victory party tonight, and the cafeteria is preparing something delicious as a reward for us. Is that true?"

The atmosphere on site was cheerful, with everyone discussing today’s haul and plans ahead.

Yet amid this excitement, a bucket of cold water was thrown over them as someone came rushing in: "Something’s wrong, something’s wrong, we might not even get a victory party. Our lives are in danger!"
