In front of the Tree Spirit corpses.
"What happened here?"
"Emma—how did all the Tree Spirits get blown up?"
Players passing by stared at the vast area of blackened, uprooted trees ahead, and in the hazy distance, they seemed to see a narrow path.
"What on earth happened? Why are all the Tree Spirits toppled over?"
"I don't know. Could it be some other Monster?"
Something that could do this to level thirty Tree Spirits must be a level thirty-five Storm Bird, right?
"Let's hurry; it might be the Storm Bird! If they spot us, all our hard-earned Levels will go to waste—"
"Wait, look at that path. I feel like it wasn't made by the Storm Bird. It seems more like it was done by someone; Storm Birds don’t need to clear a path."
Following the forcibly cleared route, three minutes later, they unexpectedly found themselves at the entrance of the Elven Pool Dungeon!
"No way! Official Website Dad wasn't lying; passing through the Tree Spirit group leads straight to the Elven Pool Dungeon. But who on earth is twisted enough to do this to the Tree Spirits?"
Surrounding the corpses of the Tree Spirits were massive blackened craters, with dirt splattered everywhere. The debris had even been flung up to the twenty-meter-high treetops, clearly indicating the terrifying force of that strike.
"Did anyone pay attention to what was said in the recent System announcement?"
"It seemed to mention something about the Tree Spirit group around the Elven Pool Dungeon."
"Isn't this just the explosion site created by players?"
"Special Items!"
"What Special Items?"
"The Reincarnation Shop—"
"Right! The advertisement for the Reincarnation Shop mentioned Special Items. Let's go check it out; who knows, we might find some amazing items."
Doubting the advertisement's claims, someone here was about to be proven wrong.
The Grocery Merchant held the Fire Thunder tightly, concealing its true power and reputation.
Reincarnation Shop.
The busy Information Broker and Tea Flavor Serenity had reddened eyes from exhaustion, and deep down, they were grinding their teeth at the person who had tricked them.
"Hey, Information Broker?"
A clear Voice caught the attention of the young man with yellow hair, prompting him to look up quickly and meet a pair of sparkling Cat Eyes filled with mirth.
The girl was playful and adorable, dressed in a snow-white Priest Robe, her staff glowing with flowing light as her large black-and-white eyes stared intently at him.
"I am. Who are you?"
"Hello, I am the Troublesome Fairy, a friend of Yan Yan. She sent me to sign the contract."
"Great—help has arrived! Information Broker, hurry, the contract!"
Tea Flavor Serenity excitedly tossed aside the Alchemy materials in her hands. With a pile of herbs still waiting to be stocked in the warehouse, seeing the Troublesome Fairy felt like a blessing!
"Hey there, I'm Tea Flavor Serenity, the apothecary from the Reincarnation Shop."
"Hello~"
"You are the Troublesome Fairy, right? Hmm, Yan Yan mentioned you. Here, this is the contract. Take a look—huh? What is this—?"
The Information Broker frowned as she glanced at the Gang clause section of the contract. She put it away and was about to inquire with Yan Yan in the information copy when the Cat-Eyed Girl chuckled, "No need to ask, here—"
The Wooden Token lay quietly in the girl's hand.
"This isn't?!"
Tea Flavor Serenity's eyes widened in sheer astonishment.
"What is that old lady up to?!"
The young man with yellow hair let out a low growl as he quickly skimmed through the hidden clauses. A curse lodged in his throat, unable to be spoken or swallowed.
Gang Clause:
1. The Troublesome Fairy took on the role of President of the Guild "Misinformation."
The Guild Base is yet to be determined.
After the Troublesome Fairy used the Guild Establishment Order, the terms of the third section of the contract took immediate effect.
...
Third Section Terms.
1. All assets of Misinformation belong to the Reincarnation Shop.
From this day forward, the Troublesome Fairy becomes a lifelong employee of the Reincarnation Shop, enjoying a percentage of shares in the Reincarnation Shop.
Major matters concerning Misinformation will be decided by the Reincarnation Shop.
...
After meticulously proofreading countless times, the Information Broker had no choice but to believe Yan Yan's sudden and astonishing decision and weakly said, "You can sign."
Once the contract took effect, Tea Flavor Serenity asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to choose a Guild Base for Misinformation? If we don't choose now, once the nine Guild Establishment Orders are out, all the good territories will be snatched away. We should claim a good spot while we can!"
"I asked Yan Yan about the Guild Base before; she didn't seem interested and looked like she had other plans. Well—now that the contract is signed, I’ll go establish the guild~"
She watched as the girl left alone.
Information Broker said in a daze,
"Is it okay for her to walk like that?"
A priest held a coveted Guild Establishment Order.
"It should be fine, right? She just walked here alone. Ahem, sometimes I can’t figure out what Boss is thinking. The whole guild establishment thing really surprised me! Including the Guild Base matter, I feel like Boss has so many plans! Clearly, they are way ahead of me, it's almost making me question my life choices."
"Some people are destined to be different," the young man with yellow hair thought of the times he had to turn away from crises, feeling a bitter pang in his heart. Perhaps only that person could ensure her safety for a lifetime.
He lowered his gaze to hide his chaotic thoughts and tried not to dwell on them.
"Oh no! This is bad—if the fairy is going to manage Guild affairs, then that shop will still be without help?! I'm so exhausted!"
Tea Flavor Serenity glared at the pile of materials in front of her, wishing she could just faint right there.
"More hands will be coming soon."
Is there really a shortage of people for establishing the Guild?
Besides, from the list she had given him, only Tea Flavor Serenity was currently available.
Information Broker tossed out that remark and quietly walked into the room.
Upon hearing this, Tea Flavor Serenity pulled up the Light Screen, set up the NPC Clerk, and buried herself in the Alchemy room to work.
The demand for the Antidote in the Elven Pool Dungeon left her feeling overwhelmed. She had searched everywhere within the Pharmacist Guild, but either they made excuses or the resources were already claimed. With the slow pace of training new recruits, she desperately needed time. Where could she find someone to help her?
At the Glasses Girl Club.
“Mu Jie, why are you leaving? Is it because of the treatment? If it’s about that, just ask the boss for a raise! Don’t go! I can’t bear to see you leave! It’s so sudden; is something wrong? If there’s an issue, we can help together! Or is it that you don’t like the working environment here? Don’t worry! The boss is planning to fully establish operations at Zero Point, so most of our work will be there. We’ll have more time to enjoy gaming! Is this about Zero Point? Mu Jie, please don’t go—”
Lin Chen’s doll-like face was filled with confusion and sadness. He couldn’t understand why she wanted to leave when everything seemed fine.
Muzi Li lowered her gaze, hiding her emotions behind her long eyelashes, and replied:
“If there’s a chance, we can meet again. I just want to change my environment; there’s nothing special going on. If you miss me, feel free to come find me anytime.”
“Really? Then Mu Jie, leave me your address! I’ll come over often for meals; your cooking is the best!”
“Chen, you just want free food.”
A voice came from behind them.
A remarkably handsome man stepped forward, glancing at the quietly standing Muzi Li before saying:
“Once the data from the Qin Family and Military Department is organized, come in to hand over the work.” He paused and looked at the Doll-Faced Boy. “Take care of the new task you’ve just received.”
“Boss—”
“In due time, I want to see results.”
"Why do we need to elevate to S Zone when the mission doesn't require handling district citizenship, Boss? The Military Department is cracking down hard right now. If we act recklessly for an unknown mission, it will draw attention, and the mission doesn't even require S Zone. Why are we escalating to S Zone?!"
"Lin Chen, when did you start questioning my decisions?"
"I—"
The boy stopped mid-sentence, looking at the man with a sense of grievance, feeling a burden he couldn't express.
He then turned silently to handle the task at hand.
On the Light Screen.
Mission Applicant: New citizen registered in d Zone.
