Bagaros Base.
Twenty-odd burly men with ill intentions surrounded Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and his Four Directions companions.
The room was filled with a murderous atmosphere, but Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and the others, who were surrounded, seemed oblivious. They removed the hoods they had been wearing when they were escorted in, their expressions betraying no tension.
"If we hadn't gotten intelligence from Lily, who knows that this place would actually be a secret base of the Truth Society?"
"Speaking of which, this game is really awesome. Even the AI of these miscellaneous soldiers is no weaker than important plot characters. Luckily, we truly came to join them, not to be undercover agents, otherwise, we'd probably be exposed very quickly."
Kobold couldn't help but sigh in the team channel.
"The smarter they are, the clearer they will understand our value. I wonder how much Truth Society faction reputation we can gain this time."
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky replied.
Faction reputation determined how much a player could access within a faction.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky had taken a long detour to come to the Truth Society, naturally hoping to secure a good position right away and directly participate in the Truth Society's main storyline, without having to spend time doing miscellaneous tasks to slowly accumulate reputation like Ordinary players.
He was actually quite confident about this.
He had brought the movements of the Gene Primordial to the Truth Society. While this act couldn't be called a great kindness to the Truth Society, it was at least a timely help. If the Truth Society didn't generously reward him, it would truly be unreasonable.
Just thinking about it felt great.
It was the early stage of the game. While most players, including some professional players and big guilds, were slowly exploring, they were already soaring, monopolizing a faction's main quests.
Although their strength wouldn't allow them to contribute much, since there were no other players competing, they could monopolize all the rewards in the quest pool. Just with these rewards, they would be able to leave all other players far behind in version 1.0.
Heh heh, when the leaderboard and arena open in the next version, it will be time for their Iron Rain Guild to reap a crazy harvest!
As Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky was secretly gloating, the group of burly men surrounding them stirred.
He quickly turned around and saw the room door open, with several strong men walking in from outside.
"Qian Assistant Officer, it's them. They said they want to join us, so I brought them over."
A burly man in the room shouted to the leading Qian Assistant Officer.
Qian Assistant Officer said expressionlessly, "You don't seem scared at all?"
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky stood tall and proud: "We are sincerely here to join the Truth Society, not to be spies. What do we have to be afraid of?"
Qian Assistant Officer was noncommittal: "Why do you want to join the Truth Society?"
"Because of hatred!"
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky immediately stood up, and in front of everyone, he loudly denounced the persecution he suffered from the Gene Primordial. When he spoke of his emotions, he almost shed tears.
"Those scoundrels of the Gene Primordial are a bunch of hypocrites. I wish I could devour them alive, but we are too weak, without power. Looking across the entire Origin Star, after much thought, only your Truth Society can help us. As long as we can eliminate the Gene Primordial, you can make us do anything!"
Kobold followed, saying, "To show our sincerity, we specifically brought intelligence about the Gene Primordial this time. Right now, the Gene Primordial's people are hiding near that settlement to the south. If you don't believe us, you can send people to investigate."
Qian Assistant Officer waved his hand: "Send someone to check."
He didn't say anything extra, and the room fell silent again.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky let out a long sigh of relief. As long as this Qian Assistant Officer was willing to listen to him, then the biggest obstacle to joining the Truth Society had been successfully overcome.
Just as he had said, he was sincerely here to join the Truth Society. Next, he just had to wait for this battle to end, and then he could stay with the Gene Primordial and happily farm rewards.
Thinking of this, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky opened his friends list and found a player named "Black Si" there.
Black Si was the guild leader of another well-known guild, Loyalty Hall, and was his old rival. In the previous game, Iron Rain Guild and Loyalty Hall belonged to different factions, and Iron Rain Guild was often overwhelmed by Loyalty Hall, almost driving him to despair.
"Brother Hei, what have you been up to lately?"
"Damn it!"
Black Si's reply came quickly.
"Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky, you're showing off in front of me, aren't you? Don't be too eager. You were just lucky enough to be born in the Abandoned Cooling Plant, which allowed you to get in touch with Lily early. But the game has just launched, and it's still uncertain who will get Lily's hidden quest later!"
He's anxious, he's anxious!
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky almost died laughing. This Black Si still thought he was here to show off his relationship with Lily.
Shallow!
You guys can fight tooth and nail with other players for Lily's quests. I'm not playing with you anymore.
"No, I'm not here to talk about Lily today. Just pay close attention to the leaderboard and arena opening in the next version. There's a big surprise."
Black Si was bewildered, sending several question marks.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky was too lazy to reply and directly closed the chat interface with Black Si.
Tease and run, it's so damn exciting!
Then, he found several other players from competing guilds and sent them similar messages, then also directly ran away after sending them.
"Satisfied."
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky began to calmly wait for news from Qian Assistant Officer. Not long after, another person walked in from outside the door.
"Gedo Sir."
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky's eyes lit up.
The Truth Society's efficiency is pretty good, they actually investigated the results so quickly.
Gedo stood at the door for a while. He had originally just come to watch the show, but after his gaze fell on Kobold and crouching tigers and hidden dragons, he suddenly froze.
These two faces, how did they seem familiar?
He quickly pulled out the document he had just looked through. The more he looked, the stranger his expression became. Weren't these the two who had been frantically disparaging the Truth Society on camera?
Wait, the document said crouching tigers and hidden dragons was dead, so why was he here now? Could it be that he had a special ability?
Gedo's head exploded with a bang, he understood!
No wonder crouching tigers and hidden dragons dared to follow that assassin, no wonder Lily knew Inoue was an undercover agent!
He quickly approached Qian Assistant Officer and told him about his discovery.
Seeing the two whispering, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky said, "Qian Assistant Officer, you should believe what I said now, right? Actually, this time I not only brought intelligence about the Gene Primordial, but also intelligence about Lily, that white-haired woman who ruined your plan at the Abandoned Cooling Plant."
"Lily, huh." Qian Assistant Officer suddenly smiled, "Arrest them all!"
[Qian Assistant Officer's favorability towards you -60]
Huh?
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and the others, who had been smiling earlier, were all dumbfounded. What the hell, how did the favorability suddenly drop so much? Wait, big brother, this is not the time for jokes!
