"He knows how to use people," the hermit said.
"How do you use them?" Cave Era knew that although the word "use" sounded simple, it depended on how it was used and who was being used.
"He has a nickname called Queen Bee. Do you know what this nickname means?" the hermit asked.
"Isn't it said that his intelligence network is as tight as a beehive?" Cave Era had also heard of Wei Ge's nickname.
"This is only a part of it. In fact, the reason why he has the nickname of Queen Bee wasn't because of his intelligence network, but because of his ability to control his subordinates." The hermit looked at a honey bee that had flown to a corner of the courtyard and said meaningfully, "With the existence of the Queen Bee, all the bees will contribute everything to the Queen Bee. They won't betray her even in death."
Cave Era followed the hermit's gaze and glanced at the bee. For some reason, she felt a chill in her heart.
There was only one Queen Bee in a bee colony. Be it the soldier bees or the worker bees, they only served the Queen Bee. They gave up everything, even their lives. They didn't have their own lives at all, as though they were born for the Queen Bee.
However, humans weren't bees. They had their own desires and selfishness, but someone treated Wei Ge as the Queen Bee. Just the thought of it sent a chill through her heart. It was hard to imagine what methods Wei Ge had used to make his subordinates sacrifice so much. It was simply against human ethics.
"Before Wei Ge, there were many spies from the various families in the bureau. However, ever since Wei Ge became the Director-General, the spies from the various families have been used by him. The entire bureau has slowly become Wei Ge's beehive." The hermit's words were filled with praise.
"How did he do it?" Cave Era hadn't paid much attention to the bureau.
From her point of view, the bureau was just a tool, just like a police dog. At most, she could change to another one.
However, after hearing the hermit's words, Cave Era felt for the first time that Director-General Wei was really a capable fellow.
A fellow who had only contracted a Mythical Guardian was actually able to firmly control the bureau. Even the six families, who originally treated the bureau as their eyes and ears, couldn't extend their hands into the bureau. This wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
"Because everyone has weaknesses and fears. No one is better at exploiting the weaknesses of others than Wei Ge. If there really are devils in this world, then Wei Ge is definitely the most vicious one."
The hermit continued, "Back then, Lord Immortal gave Wei Ge two choices. One was to contract a Terror-grade Guardian, Ice Demon, and the other was to contract a Mythical Balrog. Although Ice Demon was at the Terror grade, his potential was limited to that. It was difficult for him to improve further. Although Balrog was only at the Mythical stage, it was possible for him to improve further. The Terror grade wasn't the end. Although the chances of advancing are very small, Wei Ge still chose to contract Balrog. This shows his ambition. "
"Unfortunately, he fell into Lord Immortal's trap. Balrog does have the possibility of advancing further, but he has a flaw that can't be considered a flaw. Ignoring advancing to the Calamity grade, even advancing to the Terror grade is extremely difficult. It's almost impossible to advance to the Terror grade on Earth. This is also the reason why Wei Ge's Balrog hasn't advanced to the Terror grade."
Cave Era nodded. "I know about this. Lord Immortal felt that this person was too vicious and was afraid that he would have ulterior motives, so he used such an overt scheme. Wei Ge naturally knew that it wouldn't be that easy for Balrog to advance to the Calamity grade, but he still chose it out of greed. He can't blame anyone else for this."
"Wei Ge hasn't advanced to the Terror grade, but among his subordinates, some have already obtained Terror-grade Guardians. Some have even advanced to the Terror grade through the Mythical Liquid. However, the bureau's director-general is still Wei Ge, not those at the Terror grade who are stronger than him. What do you think?" the hermit said.
"This person really can't be underestimated." Cave Era already agreed with the hermit's words.
"If I want to lure a Calamity-grade creature to appear and destroy Luoyang, I need the help of a Terror-grade expert from the bureau. That person only listens to Wei Ge's orders, so I need Wei Ge. Of course, he doesn't only have one subordinate, and we also need some cannon fodder. If we want to use them as cannon fodder, there's no need to use our own people. Wouldn't it be better to use the people from the bureau? "the hermit said.
"Would a person like him be willing to do such a disadvantageous thing?" Cave Era frowned.
"A person like him can sacrifice everything for himself. If I tell him that I can help him advance Balrog to the Terror grade, even his father will probably sell it to me, much less his subordinates," the hermit said with a smile.
"If I remember correctly, Wei Ge is also from Sunset College. Aren't you afraid that something will happen to him?" Cave Era asked.
"All these years, this Director Wei hasn't been stained with the blood of the Sunset army. He was the one who personally destroyed the An family's intelligence network in Holy City. The An family hates him to the bone. Of course, it's not just the An family. In fact, other than our League of Defender, the six families and many local wealthy families wish they could eat his flesh raw. He has no way out and can only be our dog, "the hermit said.
"In that case, call him over." Cave Era nodded slightly. In fact, although she wasn't in charge of such matters, she had heard of Director Wei's style of doing things. She didn't find anything wrong with it.
"It's not that easy for him to risk his life for us. I have to make a trip personally and let him see hope." As the hermit spoke, he stood up. At the same time, he extended his hand and sucked the bee into his palm. He crushed it to dust and casually waved it into the wind.
Zhou Wen rushed to the dungeons with Tiantian. However, as there were too many dungeons and the entrances weren't all in the same place, Zhou Wen decided to head to Luoyi City to take a look after some thought.
That was the dimensional zone closest to the Mythical era. If there were no problems there, he could head to Yang City, which was relatively close.
As for the Divine Capital, there didn't seem to be any existences that could reach the Calamity grade in that era. As for the Supremacy of Beauty, she probably wouldn't reach that level.
Luoyi City was ancient and gloomy, like the Dark Asura Hall in the underworld. Zhou Wen had never been here before, but he had heard from An Sheng that many humans who had come here to explore had failed to return alive.
Luckily, some people had escaped, but they had only seen the periphery of the city. They all said that there was a terrifying force in the city that was invisible and had killed many of their companions.
Now that he thought about it, it was definitely an existence above the Terror grade. However, he didn't know what level it was.
However, with Tiantian by his side, Zhou Wen wasn't afraid even if it was at the Calamity grade. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rashly come here.
When he was outside the city gate, Zhou Wen first searched to see if there was a tiny palm symbol and if he could download the dungeon. However, after circling around, he didn't see it.
"What are you looking for?" Tiantian asked in puzzlement when she saw Zhou Wen loitering at the door without entering.
