Chapter 3068: The Greatest Taboo! Is Being Looked Down Upon!
Besides, the only reason he went to the Second Archaeology Team was to get the Corpse-Repelling Pearl — that was his ultimate goal. If he forcibly disrupted the Second Archaeology Team's pace and got his revenge first,
whether against Su Nan or against Zhang Lin, it would indeed vent the hatred in his heart, but at the same time the things he truly needed to do would also be affected.
So it was better to take things step by step, set revenge aside for now, first obtain the Corpse-Repelling Pearl, and at the same time follow along the path Zhang Lin had described in the book, bit by bit.
As long as Zhang Lin was guiding things along, he could find that device and obtain the method for using the Corpse-Repelling Pearl, and then he could complete his own immortality ritual.
Right now Wang Cang didn't know whether this so-called immortality ritual was real or fake, or whether it had any corresponding effect at all. But he truly hoped this mysterious person could smoothly complete all of it. If it was fake, then he could give up; if it was real, he might even leave this world — you never know.
After all, parallel spaces exist, including imaginary-number spaces.
Since so many things that were once thought impossible in their understanding actually exist, who knows — the realm of immortals might exist too. At this moment Wang Cang was idly mulling it over in his heart.
He was also rationalizing to himself, hoping these things could become reality. But hope is hope — if some of these things truly exist, or exist in the form Wang Wang Canghai imagined,
then the moment Zhang Lin caught even the slightest whiff of it, he would find ways to stop it, even going so far as to take action personally and kill Wang Wang Canghai.
Because these things absolutely cannot be made public — the impact on what follows would simply be too far-reaching. Under this premise, the two matters can be considered together.
This also means Zhang Lin wasn't lying. That so-called immortality ritual does indeed exist, but it absolutely doesn't have the effect Wang Wang Canghai imagined.
And he had also stated this frankly to Wang Wang Canghai. Unfortunately, Wang Wang Canghai simply didn't believe him — he clung to that stubborn mindset and kept going forward. No matter who spoke, Wang Wang Canghai probably wouldn't turn back.
Zhang Lin saw through all this too, so he wouldn't try to persuade Wang Wang Canghai again — doing so would only make Wang Wang Canghai convinced he had no other choice.
Although using this approach could make things go more smoothly for Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin could clearly, in the current situation, easily defeat Wang Wang Canghai — so why go through all those eighteen twists and turns?
If he didn't have that confidence and certainty, he might still resort to this method, but right now there's simply no need.
Wang Wang Canghai didn't know any of this. If he knew what Zhang Lin was thinking at this moment, he'd probably be so angry he'd spit blood again — because even at this stage, Wang Wang Canghai still didn't believe Zhang Lin could, within his own understanding, easily handle all the trouble he brought.
Yet Zhang Lin really did think exactly that way. This was the one thing this former overlord could least stand.
He could tolerate his own failure, and accept death — or accept a fate worse than death. If the Wan Nu King came out, perhaps even if he didn't want to choose, he would have to bear that destiny.
But what he despised most was being looked down on, being regarded as nothing — this was Wang Wang Canghai's greatest taboo.
Looking now at Wang Wang Canghai watching the livestream, he was very satisfied with Wang Cang's performance at this moment. He nodded unconsciously, and at the same time he was mulling over his next step — although he certainly had to go to the Second Archaeology Team, what could he do to connect with the First Archaeology Team's side and make Wang Cang's mental state deteriorate further?
And his so-called satisfaction came not only from Wang Cang's expression, but also from the situation on Su Nan's side.
He believed that as the things he influenced kept growing, Zhang Lin would have to find ways to stop him.
But if Zhang Lin was stretched too thin, then he would definitely prioritize keeping Yang Lu's life — since he still had that kind of promise to Wang Cang.
And since everyone watching the livestream already knew about this, if Su Nan of the Second Archaeology Team died because of Zhang Lin's misdirection,
then Zhang Lin would have broken his word to everyone, and that would seriously damage his credibility.
That was what Wang Wang Canghai truly wanted.
It turned out Wang Wang Canghai had never realized where exactly he had lost. Later, after reminders from Xue Long and Mr. Wang, he gradually saw through the true essence of it.
It was simply that Zhang Lin now controlled all the discourse. Even if he said something wrong, someone would help him smooth it over. And once the pace was in Zhang Lin's control, he could mobilize all public opinion.
Then Wang Wang Canghai would naturally be pushed to the forefront of the storm. So although Wang Wang Canghai's identity hadn't been exposed yet, the premise of that non-exposure was merely that most people didn't know he was still alive —
they did know someone called Wang Wang Canghai existed. In his laboratory, Zhang Lin Has Already subtly shaped himself into a negative image.
But Wang Wang Canghai didn't want to argue this point either, because by the values of these people today, he really was that villainous figure.
Yet hundreds of years ago, when he stood at the pinnacle, even emperors treated him as an honored guest — that was a qualitative difference.
But right now Wang Wang Canghai wouldn't dwell on these things. On the contrary, after seeing the situation clearly, he decided to use this approach to attack Zhang Lin and damage his credibility.
Going forward, Zhang Lin might have to maintain the balance at the New Moon Hotel, which would cause him to neglect the current situation of the two archaeology teams. This scheme had already been settled in Wang Wang Canghai's mind — at this point he was only mulling over which angle to use as his point of entry.
So that when the plan was put into action, it could be even more flawless.
On the contrary, in the First Archaeology Team, Wang Cang — who had figured everything out — regained a calm expression, then sighed, but didn't offer much explanation.
At this moment Fatty naturally couldn't tolerate Wang Cang answering them this way. He hurried forward, but just as Fatty was about to ask his question, Wu Tianzhen very rudely pushed him aside.
Fatty looked at Wu Tianzhen with some confusion.
These past days, Wu Tianzhen had done too many things he couldn't understand. Sometimes Wu Tianzhen didn't want to make a big deal out of things — but why now?
Could it be that he really believed Wang Cang eighty percent?
But they still didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone — they had to get a clear answer. If they kept going forward with this lingering doubt without clarifying things, in Fatty's view it wouldn't do the entire archaeology team any good.
Wu Tianzhen waved his hand and said: "The Most Important Now is to figure out the situation with the murals — that's the top priority!"
