Lily nodded.
After seeing Si off, only she, Anya, and Shino, who was curled up on the sofa, remained in the room.
After a moment of silence, she asked: "Do you have a deep grudge with the Truth Society?"
Shino looked up, her brown eyes full of confusion: "Why do you ask that?"
Lily said: "Because your attitude towards the Truth Society is more agitated than theirs."
Shino explained: "Oh, you mean that. Actually, Captain Xu and the others have a deeper hatred for the Truth Society. Captain Xu... Never mind that. I just simply hate the Truth Society. They kill and set fires, committing all sorts of evil."
Is it the protagonist's unique kindness?
"Actually, I also hate the Human Alliance, but at least the people of the Human Alliance have reasons for killing, even if their reasons are extreme. The Truth Society is different; you simply cannot understand them. They act completely without rules. Before an operation begins, no one knows what they are going to do. I hate this kind of disorder. The reason I joined Four Directions is to eliminate the Truth Society."
So that's it, a good-aligned faction.
Lily smiled.
In that case, if Shino knew her true identity, she would definitely dislike her.
After all, she might be the most unruly NPC in this world; her very existence was a form of disorder.
Shino was in the middle of denouncing the Truth Society's atrocities when suddenly, the personal terminal she wore on her hand, similar to a Pip-Boy, rang.
"Please wait a moment."
She got up and walked to the balcony. A few minutes later, she returned, her face becoming extremely solemn.
"Bad news. The director just contacted me. The Truth Society has revised the assassination bounty on you."
This did not surprise Lily at all: "What did they change it to?"
Shino said: "A-rank bounty, with a sky-high reward of 500,000! They also declared that they would eliminate you within half a month."
Goodness, I've become 500,000?
Lily asked: "What's the highest bounty on the Dark Web?"
"25 million credit points, for the President of the Truth Society himself."
A full fifty times?
Lily was slightly surprised but quickly calmed herself.
500,000 was not her limit. She was a woman destined to become the Queen of the Wasteland. If all went well, she would eventually top the Dark Web bounty list!
As she mused, Lily heard a game prompt.
[You have triggered a special quest [Shadow of Truth]]
She clicked to open the details page.
[Quest Description: The Truth Society has issued a new bounty on you. They seem to have been angered by your actions and are determined to use higher-level forces to kill you, proclaiming the inviolable majesty of the Truth Society to the world. But the Truth Society has underestimated the vitality of weeds. If wildfires cannot burn them out, can a storm truly uproot them?]
[Quest Objective: Resist the upcoming new wave of assassinations from the Truth Society]
[Reward: 30,000 experience points, 15 Origin Star Reputation, Title [Shadow of Truth]]
[Note: Depending on your performance in the quest, you will have the opportunity to unlock new quests]
[This quest is mandatory]
The quest rewards were very tempting, giving a full 30,000 experience and a title. The previously obtained Wildfire title gave her a 30 HP bonus. This Shadow of Truth title looked more advanced than Wildfire, so the bonus would definitely be more.
Lily even wanted to shout for the storm to come more fiercely.
Shino said: "You are in great danger now. For safety reasons, I suggest you find a place to hide, or simply cooperate with our Gene Primordial Information Bureau. Although the Information Bureau has an insider, this is still the safest place besides the military."
"I will seriously consider it."
Lily felt that, in terms of intelligence, it was better for her to rely on Four Directions for now.
Over the next two days, Four Directions was constantly holding meetings.
They held meetings in the morning to discuss Lily's assassination attempt, and in the afternoon, they discussed the news from the Information Bureau Headquarters.
Not long ago, special agents from the Information Bureau's Third Division intercepted a secret message from the Truth Society and confirmed the location of one of the Truth Society's bases from the message. Gene Primordial had already decided to launch a surprise attack on this base to flatten it directly.
When the people from Four Directions were busy, Lily became idle.
Besides unlocking a [Gunner] profession, she spent the rest of her time paying attention to the players' movements.
Excavation Princess's "success" stimulated too many players. Now, players in the Abandoned Cooling Plant were all trying to save money to buy train tickets.
On the third day after Excavation Princess and Lily met, another train departed from the Abandoned Cooling Plant directly for Lynn.
Almost all the people on this train were players, including Patrick Star, Black Tiger Afu, Calamity Dragon, Convert to My Lily, and others who had a good relationship with Excavation Princess and received notification immediately, as well as Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and others from the Iron Rain Guild who had bought tickets through guild fundraising.
As the Abandoned Cooling Plant rapidly receded outside the train window, Convert to My Lily excitedly clenched his fists.
"Lynn, here we come!"
Seeing their posts, Lily also became excited.
"My Sand Soldiers are here!"
With players, she was truly complete!
Assassinate me, huh?
I will show you what true terror is!
