"Now I understand why both Old Steed and I found it strange that the Winter City Lord and the Supply Officer were so evasive in their discussions about certain issues, and why we had to raise the favorability of some Town Residents. After several tedious quests that consumed a lot of time—not to mention fetching water for Grandma Li—I was feeling overwhelmed. Just before you joined the team, I had completed the last part. Nevertheless, for the Northeast Trade Route Mission, we can only succeed; failure is not an option. Currently, the Resource Merit Points of players from Summerwater City and Winter Snow City are at the bottom of the rankings among the Four Major Cities."
At that moment, a message popped up on Yan Yan's interface.
[Private Chat Channel] Qin Huai: No need for a dagger. What are Living Conditions—referring to last time's Living Conditions in the dungeon?
"Silent Sister?"
"Yes, I'm listening."
Seeing Silent seemingly replying to a message, Jiang Wulang pointed to an NPC and said, "You should go talk to him first. After running back and forth three times, you'll get his certification, then head over there—"
He pointed to an elderly NPC with gray hair and continued, "That’s the mayor of Wangyue Town. If you buy him some dry tobacco a few times, you’ll increase his favorability. Just—make sure not to get involved with his grandson; that little brat will keep you stuck on this quest forever. If you see him, just avoid him—that’s the kid wearing a straw hat. As for the supervisor tasks, I’m almost done with mine; you should complete those few tasks first. How does that sound?"
"Alright."
Nodding in understanding, she ran toward the leading NPC—a rugged man named Captain Love, with dark skin and a muscular upper body, who was carrying sandbags and wooden planks.
"Greetings, Captain Love. How may I assist you?"
"Young adventurer, you're just in time! Quickly deliver this cart of wooden planks to the workers over there."
"Understood."
She replied and pushed the cart with all her strength, slowly making her way toward the construction team on the other side of the Dock.
In the meantime, she quickly sent a message.
[Private Chat Channel] Silent: I must pass this dagger to you as requested; what happens next is up to you. Regarding last time's Living Conditions: First, I joined the Shadow Alliance as a Hired Member; second, one Floating Scroll and five Escape Scrolls.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: Tsk—your appetite is bigger than a lion's.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: With your rank in Shadow Alliance, you wouldn’t dare to recommend even a mere Hired Member? What, afraid I’ll let you down? Don’t worry, I’m only a Hired Member of Zero Point.
The implication was clear: it had nothing to do with reality.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: Girl, you know quite a lot.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: I’ve always known a lot, and you know that too.
Caught off guard by her words, Qin Huai let out an annoyed snort and swiftly eliminated the nearby Monster.
The Elf Priest, who seemed untouched by the mundane world, glanced at him in surprise and said, “You’ve never gone to such lengths to investigate the patients before. This time, you’re asking me for information and making such a fuss in E Zone. What’s going on?”
The Black-Clad Thief, having just taken down a Monster, let her momentary anger fade quickly, returning to her usual nonchalant demeanor. “I encountered an interesting opponent.”
“Oh?”
The cool tone of the man drifted into the clearly distracted ears of the Black-Clad Thief. “If you consider them an opponent, they must be quite unfortunate.”
“Blank, what do you mean—”
“What’s there to be angry about? Which opponent hasn’t been toyed with by you until they’re on the brink of death?”
A Holy Light Bullet flew toward the Monster, instantly obliterating it.
Retrieving his staff, he continued, "It seems like you didn't have much fun this time?"
Fun?
Qin Huai thought to himself: So far, it was he who had nearly been killed.
Suppressing his irritation, he said, "You've been meddling more and more lately. Shouldn't you find a woman to keep you company? What happened? Didn't the Qian Family send you those Twin Sisters?"
At the mention of the Qian Family and the Twin Sisters, White Noodle's expression turned cold, and the already chilly atmosphere around him dropped several degrees, as if a human-shaped moving iceberg had appeared.
Noticing the change in his demeanor, Qin Huai smirked, "What's wrong? You seem less than pleased enjoying the blessings of many."
"Mind your own business," came the frosty reply, laced with sharpness. "The commotion in the E Zone this time is too big; it's drawing too much attention."
"I'll handle it. You should negotiate with the Huo Family."
"That's more useful than East Wind Arrives."
"Tch—you're not unaware that I don't get along with him."
"Then how did you end up clashing with Peng Kai?"
"Akai saved my life."
With that statement, the other party fell silent instantly.
After a moment of silence, Blank finally spoke up.
"When do you plan to detonate the Peng Kai line?"
"Are you really going to give up on the Qin Family?"
"Hmph—what use is a family that has rotted from the core?"
His cold and mocking words carried a hidden threat.
"Mr. Qin seems to be looking into your whereabouts lately."
"And so what? It's just that Qin Yao's recent performance hasn't met his expectations. Don't worry, Lou Yan won't let him think about me for too long. After all, that woman is quite skilled; otherwise, how could she have risen to power in the first place?"
His harsh words sounded as if he were discussing something unrelated.
Blank's icy gaze met the chilling look in his eyes. Calmly, he said, "Destroying the Qin Family means destroying him, and it will also disrupt the balance in Area A."
His warning hung in the air, drifting away with the wind. "When it threatens Area A, I won't stand by idly."
"Hah—Blank, things aren't as simple as you think; the current situation has changed."
"It hasn't changed at all, except for the Military Department."
Upon mentioning the Military Department, Cold Man's expression grew even colder, his warning gaze directed at the other party. "I hope Peng Kai can tone down his activities in the area; otherwise, I won't hold back. Don't forget, right now you are Public Enemy Number One in the Military Department. Even if you control one-third of it, the remaining two-thirds cannot be shaken by just a Criminal leader from E Zone."
His words were piercingly direct and brutally honest.
So—
You should come back.
This sentence lingered in Cold Man's throat for a moment before he swallowed it back down.
He knew that the person in front of him, who seemed to casually offer kind words, was actually the hardest to move. After all, even exquisite looks couldn't hide the other person's infuriating rogue nature.
"When we first met, you called me Sweetie, and now that you've found someone new, you call me Criminal Boss. How heartless of you."
"Hmph—" A cold laugh erupted, and Cold Man's expression shifted as he retorted, "When it comes to being heartless, who can compare to you, Qin Huai?"
"Severe Beauty seems to please you."
As soon as the name left his lips, the other person's icy gaze shot towards him like an Ice Blade. "This is your last warning: do not touch my patient."
He emphasized the word "patient" heavily.
Peach Blossom Eye Man casually eliminated a Monster with a flick of his hand, wearing a mocking expression. (To be continued.)
