Chapter 268: Today I Have Matters to Attend To, Dragged Off to a Brothel to Listen to Music

Today I have matters to attend to, dragged off to a brothel to listen to music.

A friend came from afar, spending hours on the high-speed train just to hang out with Shu Tiao; naturally, I had to entertain him—going out, eating and drinking. Today I’ll likely be out all day, no time to write, Wuwuwu .

I’ll also use this time to think about how to handle Xie Zhi’s arc, and the current situations of the Strange Affairs Bureau and the Catastrophe Cult.

Some brothers wonder why the official side is always a mess, while the utterly evil Catastrophe Cult operates with order and unity, making the official side seem like a giant infant—so that the protagonist’s involvement turns into babysitting a giant infant to war, where the officials are nothing but a burden and even risk betraying him.

Shu Tiao has also thought about this.

My assessment is—no, it won’t happen.

Shu Tiao won’t be written that way.

As a national institution, the official side is inherently positive and powerful; otherwise, it wouldn’t be recognized by so many players as the strongest organization in the Spirit Catastrophe game.

There are many like Xie Zhi, but he is the most typical—and the protagonist only knows him so far.

As previously mentioned, when Xie Zhi faced unfair treatment, higher-ups did speak up for him, and grassroots protests were not rare.

Otherwise, how could he have been merely reassigned without any accidents occurring along the way?

The protagonist’s involvement in official affairs now isn’t about picking sides or choosing factions.

He’s simply helping Xie Zhi as a friend; the Strange Affairs Bureau’s problems have nothing to do with him.

To Wu Wang, this is just a bigger source of amusement—and a chance to help a friend along the way.

Perhaps the portrayal in this regard hasn’t been sufficient, causing some brothers to misunderstand and think the official side is overly incompetent and riddled with problems.

Shu Tiao will pay attention to this issue.

He won’t shape the plot into something that disgusts everyone.

Xie Zhi’s devotion won’t be blind loyalty.

A spark can eventually ignite a prairie fire.

Wu Wang’s appearance merely turns heavy issues into humorous ones to resolve, since his role is that of an amusement-seeker—he’s here to present amusement.

Just like in the previous chapter, when tension was at its peak, only he could break the deadlock in an unexpected way.

The “let’s all die together” approach is uniquely Wu Wang’s charm and amusement.

Later portrayals will also show the official side’s iron fist and reliability—it won’t be a hollow shell of glittering exterior and rotten interior.

Shu Tiao will carefully craft these elements, and the next dungeon’s transition will come quickly, avoiding prolonged immersion in real-world scheming.

After all, the public test is imminent.

Today I have matters to attend to, already dragged off to a brothel to listen to music.

Alright, right now before Shu Tiao is an entire crate of alcohol—I’ll live to see another day.
