"My lord, wait a minute. This is what Xu Liguo looks like. He lives in the central region of the Myriad World Mall and is an ordinary merchant selling groceries."
Master of Order Austanly had just walked out of the mansion when Sima Yi quickly chased after him.
"He is Xu Liguo?"
Master of Order Austanly glanced at a photo on the magic phone in Sima Yi's hand. In the photo, there was a middle-aged man about 30 years old. He had an honest face and a dull expression. There was no trace of cunning in him at all.
"Yes."
Sima Yi gently nodded his head.
"How did you find out that Xu Liguo and Wang Lin are from the same world?"
Master of Order Austanly withdrew his gaze and turned to the ordinary-looking Sima Yi. He asked the question in his heart.
He was really curious about how the black-robed Hong Jun and the others knew so much about the customers of Wanjie Lou. Moreover, it was some secret information that couldn't be found out.
It was like how they knew that Xu Liguo and Wang Lin were from the same world.
Xu Liguo was only a Nascent Soul cultivator, an ant. Although Wang Lin didn't know how strong he was, he didn't find Wang Lin's name among the powerful cultivators he had inquired about. Wang Lin couldn't be that strong.
How could the black-robed Hong Jun know so much about these two nobodies? Not only did he know that they were from the same world, but he also knew that Wang Lin was a hidden protagonist.
"My lord, do you remember how you felt when you came in from the Myriad World Mall?"
Sima Yi asked.
"It might be because of their feelings, or because they were amazed, or because they were shocked. The best place to gather information in the Myriad World Tavern is not any restaurant in the gourmet street, nor is it the small stall area, nor is it the arena area, but the city gate of the Myriad World Mall."
"All the customers who enter can't help but murmur a few words. Even some old customers like to sigh in front of the gate and talk about their future plans before they leave Wanjie Lou."
Sima Yi carefully explained.
It was as if he was narrating a very ordinary matter. His voice was calm and emotionless. However, his eagle-like eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness and resentment.
"Name: Sima Yi.
Identity: Sima Zhongda of the Late Han Dynasty. "
He believed that his intelligence was not inferior to anyone in the Original World. People like Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu might be resourceful and talented, but none of them could defeat him.
History was the best proof. He was the one who had the last laugh. Three countries contended for hegemony, a gathering of heroes. How many heroes were there? In the end, under his arrangements, the Sima Clan obtained the world.
Wasn't this the best proof that he was smarter than Guo Jia and the others?
However, in the original world, he was just an ordinary member of the Nine Ministers, a mere third stage cultivator.
All of this was because when the shopkeeper entered the Original World, he was still a teenager. There was no chance for him to show his talent in front of the shopkeeper. That was why Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and the others were able to occupy high positions.
Others might not be aware of it, but Sima Yi was well aware of it.
Although the Nine Ministers were ranked in the imperial court and had two thousand stones of spiritual grain, from beginning to end, there were only a few core members of the Han Dynasty. Most of them were generals or strategists who had followed the shopkeeper to conquer the Otherworld.
Cao Cao, Lü Bu, Dian Wei, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu were the core members of the Han Dynasty, enjoying all the resources that the shopkeeper had given to the Han Dynasty.
If it was just these people, Sima Yi might not feel any resentment. At most, he would feel a little resentful that he was born ten years too late.
However, these core members were later joined by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. Moreover, these two people had joined the core group ten years ago.
He had thought that he would soon be selected into the core group, because his intelligence was on the same level as Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.
One year, two years, three years, five years passed. Until now, he still hadn't been selected. Everyone had deliberately forgotten about him.
Sima Yi had been waiting for an opportunity to shock the entire Han Dynasty and stir up the situation in Wanjie Lou.
Not long ago, he had finally entered Wanjie Lou. Somehow, he even felt that the shopkeeper had discovered his unwillingness and had given him a chance to prove himself, allowing him to display his talents to the fullest.
Therefore, Sima Yi had been dormant in Wanjie Lou for a long time. He understood the rules of Wanjie Lou and chose a point that could pry open the situation in Wanjie Lou. In the end, he chose Thunder Punishing Heavenly Lord Zhou An and Martial Thunder King Zhou Tong, who had been defeated in the arena battle against the Unbounded Pioneering Group.
These two people had suffered a crushing defeat in Wanjie Lou and did not even dare to step out of Wanjie Lou.
An early-stage Ninth Stage powerhouse and a top-tier Ninth Stage powerhouse had actually led such a miserable life in Wanjie Lou.
These two people had become Sima Yi's targets. He wanted to help Thunder Punishing Heavenly Lord Zhou An and Martial Thunder King Zhou Tong turn the tables and become their mastermind, making Thunder Punishment City one of the top forces in Wanjie Lou.
。
In Sima Yi's view, Thunder Punishment City's crushing defeat was not because Thunder Punishment City was weak, but because it lacked a smart person.
To Sima Yi, Thunder Punishing Heavenly Lord Zhou An and the other four were like five idiots. They had been led by the nose by the people of the Unbounded Pioneering Group and walked step by step into the trap that the Unbounded Pioneering Group had dug for them. It would be strange if they had not failed.
The fact that the three of them had been able to escape from the trap that the Unbounded Pioneering Group had carefully prepared proved that Thunder Punishment City had the strength to contend with the Unbounded Pioneering Group.
Their crushing defeat was entirely due to a strategic mistake, which had led to Thunder Punishment City's current miserable state.
A retard was a retard. Thunder Punishing Heavenly Lord Zhou An and Martial Thunder Divine King Zhou Tong saw that he was a 'mortal' and completely ignored him. Even after he mentioned a few plans for a quick battle in the Myriad World Tavern, Thunder Punishing Heavenly Lord Zhou An and Martial Thunder Divine King Zhou Tong were still dismissive.
They were lofty God Kings and Heavenly Venerables. Why would they listen to the strategies of a Tier Three ant?
Talking about strategies in front of God Kings and Heavenly Venerables?
There was no hesitation in any strategy in front of God Kings and Heavenly Venerables.
Sima Yi knew that Thunder Punishing Heavenly Lord Zhou An and Martial Thunder King Zhou Tong's disdain was not because they were disdainful of his strategies, but because they were disdainful of the people who spoke of the strategies.
If he had been in the Tier Nine Realm or even the Tier Eight Realm, these two might have listened.
Thunder Punishment City had been ruined by the Unbounded Pioneering Group's strategies. Why would they not believe in the strategies?
Just as he was about to choose a new target, the black-robed Hong Jun appeared and accepted a few of his suggestions. He even made him the chief strategist of the big bosses. Sima Yi knew that his opportunity had come.
He saw more clearly than many of Wanjie Lou's customers. Wanjie Lou's strength did not represent everything. Sometimes, information could determine success or failure.
Many customers of the Myriad World Tavern might not know that the ordinary middle-aged man who often loitered at the city gate as if soliciting business was him. He was recording the conversations of the people who entered and exited the Myriad World Mall at all times.
He knew a lot of people's secrets, including the secrets of some Tier Nine powerhouses in Wanjie Lou.
The Sovereign of the Shrouding Sky Big World had always been dissatisfied with Sect Leader Tongtian of the Unbounded Pioneering Group. He blamed Sect Leader Tongtian for protecting Shen Gongbao, who had cheated him into poverty. He was waiting for a chance to kill Shen Gongbao.
After the Tower of Time appeared, Xiao Yan of the Heaven Shrouding Sky Big World had been crazily devouring the Divine Fires of various worlds and successfully entered the Tier Nine Realm.
Taoist Cundi of the Unbounded Pioneering Group had been planning to replace Sect Leader Tongtian as the CEO.
