Shanghai City, Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, Grand Auditorium
In less than a minute, the empty auditorium was filled with people. When news of Shi Xiaobai entering the eighth level spread, a meeting regarding Wen Hezheng and Kevin in another building had just ended. The upper echelons of the various organizations had yet to leave, so they hurriedly rushed over to inquire. Jiang Tianyou, who was in charge of the organization's selection, had also arrived. Instantly, the auditorium was bustling with activity and a hubbub of voices.
The auditorium was quickly filled with people. Reporters from the various news agencies also swarmed in, but the auditorium was filled to the brim. Even some of the upper echelons of the organizations did not have a seat, so how could there be room for these reporters?
A few of the upper echelons of the organizations shouted as the security guards outside the auditorium began to clear the people. None of the reporters from the various news agencies were chased out of the auditorium. They grumbled angrily, but there was nothing they could do. The people sitting in the auditorium were figures of power from the various organizations. None of them were people that small-time reporters like them could afford to offend. Furthermore, they had been reporters for many years, so they were accustomed to such treatment. They could only wait outside the auditorium and stick their heads out. Their ears were pressed to the walls, so as to not miss the slightest movement in the auditorium.
Logically speaking, all the reporters should have been chased out, but there was one exception.
This person was the suited reporter from Donglin News Agency. He was also the first reporter to discover that Shi Xiaobai had reached the eighth level.
The reason why the suited reporter was able to stay in the auditorium was not because he had obtained first-hand information. In fact, this matter that was extremely important in the news world was meaningless to the upper echelons of the organizations. It was also not a reason to accommodate him.
The reason why he was able to stay in the auditorium was because he was witty enough and he had made preparations!
Why was the suited reporter dressed in a formal suit?
That's right, he was preparing for this moment!
The suited reporter had already secretly hidden his camera when the upper echelons of the various organizations arrived. Furthermore, he was sitting upright and looking straight ahead. In addition to his formal attire, the security guards and upper echelons did not recognize that he was a reporter!
"I'm really too witty!"
The reporter in the suit gave himself a thumbs up. He watched as the big newspaper reporters who usually "flaunted their prowess" were chased out of the auditorium, while he, an unknown reporter from a small newspaper, stayed behind in broad daylight. There was no need to mention how happy he felt.
However, the suited reporter knew that he could not just sit there. Now, the reporters from various newspaper companies were outside the auditorium. It was impossible for him to obtain first-hand news of Shi Xiaobai's subsequent situation. He had to do something by staying in the auditorium, or it would be meaningless.
The reporter carefully looked around and realized that most of the organization's upper echelons were whispering to each other. No one had noticed an unfamiliar face like him.
The reporter secretly reached into his pocket and took out his phone. He first pretended to look at something, then quickly glanced to his left and right. When he realized that no one was paying attention to his actions, he quickly tapped on the screen of his phone. "Tap tap tap!"
In less than three seconds, he opened the voice recorder!
The reporter in the suit put the phone with the recording device turned on back into his pocket. During this period, his heart was beating like a drum, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
The bolder a person was, the more productive he was!
To secretly open a voice recorder in front of so many members of the organization's upper echelons, there was no doubt that he was being extremely daring!
"Phew!"
The reporter heaved a sigh of relief and turned to the slightly plump man sitting beside him. "Hello, I'm Dada Chen from the East Forest organization."
The slightly plump man glanced at the reporter and said with a slight frown, "East Forest organization? Sorry, it might be due to my ignorance. I've never heard of the East Forest organization. You look rather unfamiliar to me, young brother. "
The reporter was panicking inwardly, but he pretended to be extremely calm. He said with a chuckle, "How can it be because of your ignorance, Brother? The East Forest organization is only a third-rate organization. It's normal for you not to have heard of it. Isn't it my good fortune to be in the vicinity? I came early, allowing me to sit in the same auditorium as all of you? It's normal for you to find me unfamiliar. How can I have the qualifications to appear in your circle!? Isn't this a rare opportunity for me to thicken my skin and speak to you? "
The reporter's' despicable 'act of belittling himself and elevating others won the plump man's favor. He gave a satisfied smile and felt that the person was very tactful. Although he was a nobody from a small organization, he knew his place and knew how to suck up to him. He had a' future 'ahead of him.
"Young brother, don't belittle yourself. Although you are a nobody from a third-rate organization, you might soar one day."
The plump man casually said some pleasantries when he suddenly thought of something. He suppressed his voice and said, "You know Wen Hezheng and Kevin, right? Two trash rookies from second-rate organizations. Because they managed to cozy up to Shi Xiaobai, they ended up soaring, from sparrows to phoenixes. They even managed to get a spot in the two factions' collective training. It's really … Heh heh. "
The plump man's eyes were filled with resentment and indignation. He was also one of the members of the upper echelons of the organization who had participated in the meeting not long ago. He still could not let go of the outcome of the meeting.
The reporter found the plump man's words unpleasant and felt a baffling sense of displeasure. So what if they were nobodies? Should nobodies be mocked and belittled by you?
The reporter grumbled inwardly, but all he could do was force a smile and echo. He secretly pondered over the plump man's words. The outcome of the meeting had yet to be announced by the media, but from the plump man's words, it seemed like Wen Hezheng and Kevin's side had won? This was an incredible piece of news!
The reporter, who had gained something the moment he made his move, became bolder. After a moment of silence, he mustered his courage and said, "Bro, it's a little boring waiting here. Why don't we find something to talk about? Now, the citizens of China are discussing how long Shi Xiaobai can stay in the eighth level and if he can break the Conquest King's record of five hours. I wonder what Bro thinks? "
The plump man glanced at the reporter and hesitated for a moment before whispering, "My surname is Sen. Everyone calls me Fatty Sen. Young brother, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Sen. Don't keep calling me Big Bro. It sounds horrifying."
The reporter faked a look of pleasant surprise and exclaimed, "Brother Sen!"
Fatty Sen gave a satisfied smile. Following that, he waved his hand for the reporter to lean his head over. Then, he suppressed his voice and whispered into the reporter's ear, "How long Shi Xiaobai can stay in the eighth level is not something that can be discussed casually. Now, the entire country is paying attention to it. If a conclusion is made casually, it might be secretly recorded by some unscrupulous reporter. Everyone here is a reputable figure. When the time comes, it might be used as material for a news report. If a wrong prediction ends up being smacked in the face, it would be terrible … So be careful when discussing this matter."
The reporter snickered in his heart. He thought to himself that the conscientious reporter who was secretly recording was right beside you, stupid pig!
The reporter was feeling pleased, but he pretended to be serious. He nodded seriously and said in a serious manner, "Brother Sen, feel free to express your opinion. I'll keep my mouth shut. We will only be discussing. There will be no third person who knows!"
Fatty Sen gave a satisfied smile as a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Finally, his desire to 'vent it out' overcame his shrewdness. Fatty Sen whispered into the reporter's ear, "In my opinion, Shi Xiaobai will definitely not be able to stay in the eighth level for more than three hours. It will definitely be the lowest record in history!"
Fatty Sen had suffered a 'grievance' at the meeting and nearly peed his pants from One-Pun's gaze. He was filled with hatred for Gaia, and even Shi Xiaobai who came from Gaia!
Although Fatty Sen knew that the theory of Shi Xiaobai not being able to stay in the eighth level for more than three hours was groundless, and it was very likely that he would be smacked in the face, it was a private discussion between him and Little Bro Chen Xiaobai. No third person would know. So what if he spoke ill of Shi Xiaobai?
Fatty Sen vented the anger in his heart and was prepared to forcefully use some fabricated reason to blacken Shi Xiaobai.
However, Fatty Sen never expected that "Little Bro Chen Xiaobai" would stand up with a "whoosh" when he heard his words. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "What!? Brother Sen, you actually believe that Shi Xiaobai can't even last three hours on the eighth level!? "
The suited reporter's voice was like a crane in a flock of chickens in the auditorium that was filled with whispers. All the upper echelons in the auditorium turned their heads in astonishment. The spot where the suited reporter and Fatty Sen stood immediately became the center of attention.
Fatty Sen's eyes went dark as he nearly fainted.
Wasn't it said that he was tight-lipped?
Wasn't it said that only the two of them knew?
Do you fucking wish for everyone in the auditorium to know?
Fatty Sen hurriedly held the suited reporter back and gestured for him to keep quiet. He even gave the suited reporter a "coquettish look" to signal for him to keep quiet.
However, the suited reporter did not seem to notice Fatty Sen's signal. He shouted once again as though he had lost his mind, "Brother Sen, although I respect you as Brother Sen, I really can't agree with the way you belittle Shi Xiaobai! As everyone knows, Shi Xiaobai has conquered eight Level Lords. This is an unprecedented feat. Even Ji Feng, Xu Taibai, and the Conquest King were unable to do it! From my point of view, Shi Xiaobai can at least break the Conquest King's record by staying for more than five hours! But Brother Sen, you say that Shi Xiaobai can't even last three hours! Three hours! Brother Sen, how can you have such prejudice!? "
The suited reporter had an agitated expression. His words were intense, but they were very logical. Furthermore, his voice was loud enough to drown out the whispers in the auditorium. Immediately, it attracted everyone's attention.
Fatty Sen was too deep for tears. He wished he could slap the suited reporter to death. His fat face was flushed red and seeing everyone looking at him, he was momentarily at a loss for an explanation.
At this moment, a voice suddenly resounded.
"Little Brother, what you said is wrong! Indeed, Shi Xiaobai has conquered eight Level Lords in an unprecedented manner, but how can that mean that Ji Feng, Xu Taibai, and the Conquest King can't do it? As everyone knows, conquering a Level Lord does not help one in clearing a level. Furthermore, it is very difficult to encounter a Level Lord by constantly being in the lead. Ji Feng and company just did not attempt to conquer a Level Lord, but it does not mean that they can't do it! Indeed, saying that Shi Xiaobai can't last three hours is somewhat rash, but to say that Shi Xiaobai can definitely exceed five hours to set a new record is too arbitrary! Analyze it rationally, is Shi Xiaobai really stronger than the Conquest King at the Psionic Mortal Realm? "
The person who spoke was a man in a suit.
Fatty Sen's eyes lit up as he was pleasantly surprised. The suited man who had suddenly appeared was the main person who had coerced Yama Minamiya during the meeting!
The suited man was probably holding a grudge over the outcome of the meeting and could not help but jump out to vent his frustrations!
The suited reporter, Dada Chen, had his eyes lit up as well. He was even more pleasantly surprised than Fatty Sen. He was waiting for this!
The suited reporter reached into his pocket to grab his cell phone. The cell phone's recording device had long been switched on!
The suited reporter took a deep breath and attracted everyone's gaze, as well as the suited man's aggressive gaze. He said loudly, "From my point of view, Shi Xiaobai is stronger than the Conquest King at the Psionic Mortal Realm! Do you have any basis for your belief that Shi Xiaobai might not be stronger than the Conquest King? "
Come on, express your views!
This is all valuable news material!
Today's Dada Chen was very bold!

(PS: The second update is still in progress. It will be updated in an hour or two. The ninth level's plot has already been conceived, but it's a little difficult to express what I want to write. Therefore, I'll first use a short side quest as a transition. This side quest won't be long and will end in two chapters. Therefore, I'll write the ninth level's plot tomorrow. Everyone, don't be anxious!)
