“Is the Northern Front stable?”
“Yeah.”
Qin Huai looked down at the girl’s cleverly styled hair, a smile creeping up to the corners of his eyes. “Worried about me?”
The girl, who was just about to take a step forward, paused at his words. She turned her head, her dark almond-shaped eyes staring at him for a long while before she said, “Just now, I suddenly thought of something.” Her cold voice caught Qin Huai's curiosity. He fixed his Peach Blossom Eyes on her, urging her to continue. However, the girl’s pale Rhomboid Lips remained tightly shut, leaving him in suspense with her unfinished thought.
Just when he thought she would let it go, the girl, who had taken two steps ahead of him, uttered three words that sent a chill down his spine.
“Big Liar.”
“Eh? Girl, you can’t just slander good people like that! I’ve never lied to you…” He reached out but failed to catch the slippery girl and asked helplessly, “What’s going on?”
“Nothing.”
With her head lowered, all he could see from his angle was her fair neck and sharp jawline.
Yan Yan pushed aside the strange feeling in his heart; this kind of affected dialogue from girls… Before Qin Huai could say anything, she interrupted him. “The Fourth Guild Establishment Order has appeared.”
At this, Qin Huai raised an eyebrow. He had thought she was waiting for him regarding the Mount System issue, but it turned out to be about the Guild Establishment Order. He quickened his pace to keep up with the girl and asked, “What about that Forty Levels Mutated Tiger?”
“Yeah.”
“What are your plans for the Fourth Guild Establishment Order?”
“Limitless Alliance.” Neither of them found anything wrong with their bold conversation as if everything was already within their grasp.
Qin Huai raised an eyebrow again. Was this the intention to elevate the Limitless Alliance to a first-class force?
"Because of the Evil Person and Misinformation?"
"Yes," she paused, lifting her gaze to his incredibly alluring Beauty. A forgotten memory from her past life resurfaced, and she subtly shifted her eyes away, suppressing a hint of displeasure that bubbled up from Deep Down. She spoke evenly, "If the Limitless Alliance receives the Guild Establishment Order, the Guild Base will surely choose Wangyue Town, adjacent to Winter Snow City. For the Light Faction, having two first-class forces stationed at the front line can only be beneficial."
Moreover, when they join forces, Misinformation, caught in between as a mediator, would only gain advantages with no downsides. Even if Misinformation eventually owns the Guild Base, these two Guilds would serve as the best deterrent and cooperative allies. Coupled with the agreement with Chuan Chuan Guild, among the First-Class Guilds, excluding Shadow Alliance, Misinformation posed no threat anymore. As for the second-class forces...
The Book Club was quite interesting. Thinking back to the previous System announcement regarding Mount System—
The Book Demon and Li Hua Ruan Ruan were still as they had been in her past life. However, this way, her plans could also come to fruition.
"Do you have confidence in Mutated Tiger?"
"I do," she glanced at the countdown timer for Garrison Battle; only ten minutes remained. She said, "Help me divert Evil Person's attention for a bit; ten minutes will be enough."
Looking across the entire game, she was currently the only one capable of soloing Mutated Tiger. With the unique advantage of double attribute points, as long as she didn't die, there would be no opponents below Fifty Levels.
While Yan Yan faced off against the Forty-Level Mutated Tiger, over here, the Book Demon and Li Hua Ruan Ruan were trapped in Xingyun Town with no way out.
"Is that really White Cloud Tiger?"
"Lightning Leopard, so cool~~"
"Look quickly! The White Cloud Tiger and Lightning Leopard just appeared on TV..."
The White Cloud Tiger measures two meters in length, its fur entirely snow-white and free of any blemishes. It earned the name "White Cloud" due to the creamy yellow patterns resembling auspicious clouds on its four paws.
The Lightning Leopard lives up to its name, boasting incredible speed that places it among the top ten mounts in the Zero Point Game. Its sleek and agile form moves gracefully, exuding an impressive aura. The black fur shines under the sunlight, and a striking yellow lightning-shaped pattern on its forehead gives it its name.
Li Hua Ruan Ruan wields a Longbow, the most practical weapon for a level twenty-five archer produced by the dungeon. It’s easy to guess that her soft pink outfit covers the original dungeon gear. Sitting atop the Lightning Leopard, the girl with golden curls raises her chin slightly, her gaze carrying a hint of condescension. With an air of pride, she resembles a haughty princess.
“Ruan Ruan, are you happy today?”
The Book Demon is also dressed in fashion from Tumi Shop. The uniquely designed harpoon-like dagger in his hand emanates a sharp chill, making the greedy players lurking behind him feel uneasy.
A boy with a doll-like face hidden in the crowd sneers to himself, thinking that if it weren't for their lack of strength, who would flaunt riding two newly released mounts from the System through the streets? A bunch of brainless fools...
He lowers his head to check his private messages but receives no reply from the blonde youth after a long wait. Feeling depressed, he turns and walks away.
The Book Demon, riding on the White Cloud Tiger, observes Morning Bell and Evening Drum leaving. Remembering the news from Book Demon and glancing at the princess beside him—who he holds dear—he smiles gently, causing his gaunt cheeks to take on an even more peculiar expression.
Li Hua Ruan Ruan looks at the Book Demon, whose appearance is grotesque and terrifyingly skeletal, suppressing her rising nausea as she smiles contentedly. “Brother Book Demon, you’re still the best! I’m so happy today!”
Upon hearing this, the Book Demon reaches out his thin hand to stroke the girl’s soft hair—
At that moment, Li Hua Ruan Ruan seemingly casually tilts her head away. Her trembling eyelashes shed a few innocent tears, and her delicate pink dress makes her look even more radiant. She smiles beautifully as she turns her head, while the Book Demon unknowingly retracts his hand, lost in her enchanting smile.
System Announcement: Congratulations to Mysterious Player for defeating Forty Levels Bss Mutant Tiger and obtaining Guild Establishment Order.
A System announcement had just been issued, and before the players in the game could fully process it, another Guild Establishment Order notification flashed across the screen.
System Announcement: Congratulations to player Book Demon for obtaining the Guild Establishment Order.
At that moment, Yan Yan, who was busy cleaning up the battlefield, froze for a moment, her actions thrown off course...
The appearance of Book Demon's Guild Establishment Order was too sudden—
She lowered her gaze, concealing the dark thoughts swirling within her, and pulled up the messaging interface to send a message to Information Broker.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: Keep an eye on Li Hua Ruan Ruan. The Guild Establishment Order from Book Club won't hold.
If she guessed correctly, Li Hua Ruan Ruan would soon take the Guild Establishment Order from Book Club and transfer it to Fragrant Pavilion. In her previous life, this event occurred much later; she hadn't expected it to happen so quickly this time. Could it be that her interventions had caused things to veer off course?
It seemed likely that after Fragrant Pavilion obtained the Guild Establishment Order, Master Xiang would definitely hand it over to East Wind Arrives—
That would complicate matters...
She rubbed the wooden Craft Token in her palm, hesitating for a moment. If that treasure chest wasn't obtained, this token would have to be passed on to East Wind Arrives.
—However, if Information Broker kept an eye on Li Hua Ruan Ruan, and if Book Club secured the Guild Base, she could still proceed with her original plan.
