Reincarnated in a Novel World

"Why do we have to worry about the Zhang trash family?" Wu Xian sneered. "We can use them and then silence them."

"That may be true," Wu Xiao conceded, "but we still need to keep everything under control."

"Very well, brother. I will make sure everything is in order," Wu Xian said helplessly.

Inside the Industrial workshop office

The butler was examining every product detail with Zhu Zhen. They were discussing some important details about the upcoming product when a ringing sound interrupted them.

Ding... Ding…

The butler checked his mobile phone and excused himself, saying, "Keep checking, I will be right back."

He stepped away and answered the call.

"Master, there is bad news," a voice came from the other side.

"Speak," the butler replied calmly.

"Master, I have received information that the Zhang Family has gained the support of the Wu Family."

The butler pondered the news for a moment before saying, "I believe both families are trying to use each other. We need to find out their plan."

"I don't have much information, but I heard they plan to take advantage of the chaos," the voice replied. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥．𝗰𝗼𝐦

"Very well. Prepare for any upcoming circumstances and try to gather more information," the butler instructed calmly.

"Yes, master," the voice replied before the call ended.

The butler analyzed the information he had just received and decided to make a call to someone else.

In the training ground

Zhou Wen, a middle-aged man, and Sam Carey, a young boy, were engaged in combat training.

As they sparred, both of them became tired, and Zhou Wen suggested taking a break.

"Young master, we should rest," Zhou Wen said helplessly.

"Come on, Zhou Uncle, let's go for just five more minutes," Sam insisted, determined to push himself.

"Young master, you've been saying that for the past hour," Zhou Wen replied with a sigh.

He then noticed something and asked, "Young master, you haven't trained with me since the Talent Awakening event, but suddenly you've been training with me regularly since yesterday. Is there a reason?"

Sam smiled and replied, "I just want to gain experience fighting against humans. Training against monsters or dummies has no real meaning if I want to face high-class or ranked players. Having experience against humans will give me an edge."

Zhou Wen nodded in understanding and said, "Young master, you're right. But we should also have a regular training regimen against players."

Zhou Wen then had an idea and a twinkle appeared in his eyes. He suggested, "Young master, why don't you buy a 'Combat Mirror' from the tower's shop?"

Sam furrowed his brow and asked, "What is a 'Combat Mirror,' and where did you obtain it?

"Zhou Wen smiled proudly and puffed his chest out. "Young master, you may not remember, but both Zhu Zhen and I have a link with your system through the 'Link' auxiliary function."

"Are you saying that you both have visited the dungeon tower?" Sam, who heard this soon gained enlightenment and asked, confused. "But you shouldn't have had enough time to accumulate tower points."

Zhou Wen smirked and said slyly, "Young master, I may appear weak to you, but if I use my full power, it's a different story. Both Zhu Zhen and I have visited around 100 floors in just two weeks. As for the 'Combat Mirror,' it cost me 1,000,000 tower points."

Sam was shocked by the price but thought to himself, "If it weren't for the monsters I hunted during the barren world mission, I wouldn't have even accumulated half of that price."

Eager to learn more, Sam extended his hand and said, "Uncle, give me the 'Combat Mirror.' I want to check its attributes."

"Of course, young master," Zhou Wen said, summoning a skeleton from his summoning space. The skeleton held a mirror-like object, which Zhou Wen handed to Sam.

Sam took the 'Combat Mirror' while he could feel the skeleton's power.

He admired it and said, "Uncle Zhou, your skeleton is really strong."

Zhou Wen smiled and replied, "Young master, you should know that my talent is evolution, which helps me evolve the skeleton's grade and stats."

Sam slapped himself on the forehead and said, "Of course, why didn't I think of that? I must have been too busy," but soon his smile broadened, and thought, "But what if I could copy that talent?"
