Quest Objective: Exterminate the Wanderer Camp.
Reward: 10000 experience points, 5 Gene Primordial faction reputation.
Accept/Decline.
At the same time, all players in the room received game prompts.
Had the big one finally arrived?
"I have no objections!"
"Wherever Lily goes, I go!"
"Me too."
Not a single player hesitated; they had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
Seeing their reactions, Lily knew her plan had succeeded.
With the current scale of the Silent Garden, the faction she established, it was impossible to issue very high-reward quests to players. However, she had hinted to players earlier that once they unlocked advanced professions, they would be able to access higher-level quests. What should she do?
The method Lily thought of was to involve players in Four Directions's spy-catching incident and have Four Directions issue quests to the players.
Shino said, "Since you have no objections, don't move around freely today. Tomorrow at 3 PM, Four Directions will send a car here to pick you up."
Excavation Princess and the others immediately agreed.
After the notification ended, Lily, Anya, and Shino walked together towards their lodging.
On the way, Anya didn't forget to take credit from Lily: "Boss, Boss, I've already done as you said."
"Well done."
Lily smiled and stroked Anya's head. She sent Anya to the players mainly to use Anya's "big leak" attribute to reveal some newly fabricated Information to the players, thereby enriching Anya's character setting.
Healer, this was the role she had carefully considered for Anya.
Today was a good start. As for whether she could successfully get the planner to add more settings for Anya later, that remained to be seen.
After returning to their lodging, Lily asked Shino about the situation of all the high-ranking officials in Four Directions with great interest. She mainly wanted to see if Inoue still had accomplices among Four Directions's high-ranking officials, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions when she got to Inoue.
"His father is the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau?"
Lily was surprised to learn that Inoue, like Shino, was a second-generation official.
With his father as the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, Inoue could potentially become the director of the Intelligence Bureau if he managed things well. With such a background, why would he work for the Truth Society? Was he blackmailed by the Truth Society?
Lily felt that the matter was not simple.
Just then, Shino suddenly stood up.
Lily looked up in confusion and saw Shino walk around the coffee table to stand in front of her, leaning down as if to push her onto the sofa.
"What do you want to do?"
First, she could rule out the possibility that Shino wanted to rape her. She didn't know Shino's sexual orientation, but if Shino really had such a thought, she wouldn't have waited until today to act.
Previously, she seemed more delicate, but now, with the fierce nickname White Death and a record of single-handedly eliminating two waves of assassins, she clearly wasn't easy to rape.
Shino: "I just want to ask you one question now."
Lily: "What question?"
"Who exactly are you?" Shino's gaze narrowed slightly. "When I first encountered you at the Abandoned Cooling Plant, I thought you were just a simple, kind-hearted citizen who awakened a special ability to save the Abandoned Cooling Plant, even at the cost of sacrificing yourself. But the more I interacted with you, the more I felt something was wrong. Abilities can be explained by awakening, but that calmness when killing cannot be explained by awakening."
Lily asked, "Is this very important?"
Shino gritted her teeth: "It's very important. I must figure out your purpose. And I told you, the reason I joined the Intelligence Bureau is because I can't stand the Truth Society's senseless killings. It's the same now; I cannot accept cooperating with a cold-blooded killer!"
Lily's lips curved: "If I really were a cold-blooded killer, what would you do?"
Shino said seriously, "I will withdraw from this operation."
Lily couldn't help but laugh: "I thought you'd say you'd kill me. I'm not a killer, it's just that some things I can't explain to you."
"Mm." Shino nodded and distanced herself from Lily.
Lily was slightly surprised: "You believe that?"
Shino said, "Lily, I actually admire you very much."
"Huh?"
"At the Abandoned Cooling Plant, you were able to sacrifice yourself for others. In my eyes, you are as dazzling as a shooting star. It's hard for me to believe that someone willing to sacrifice themselves for others would be a cold-blooded killer. So, I needed you to give me an answer to resolve the knot in my heart. Now that you've given me an answer, I feel much better."
Lily's lips twitched.
Being too naive can lead to big problems!
"Get some good rest. Maybe that spy will jump out tomorrow."
The night passed without a word.
The next day, as Lily was packing her things, a new batch of players also arrived in Lynn by car.
