Seven's death made Lily realize that helping players improve their strength at the right time was indeed a very good decision.
Otherwise, even if that group of players had tackled Seven to the ground just now, it would have been difficult to suppress him, and without the players' effort, her desire to harvest Seven's life would have been pure nonsense.
Of course, in this battle, it wasn't just Lily who won big, but also the players.
Seven's level was a whole tier higher than the players', and the high level difference brought high experience bonuses.
After his death, even players who only dealt 2 points of damage received a reward of 196 experience points, and the player who threw the poison pouch received a whopping 1724 experience, directly making other players envious.
For a time, all the players excitedly surrounded Lily.
Who doesn't like an NPC who is good-looking and helps them level up?
[Angel!]
[If I had known Lily was coming, I would have used all my items to fiercely attack that guy. Now I've directly lost several hundred experience points, I'm dying of regret.]
[No one stop me. If something like this happens again next time, I will definitely rush to the front.]
[Don't dream. Will such a good thing be your turn?]
Lily didn't stay long at the player's stronghold. She walked around, boosted her presence in the players' hearts, and then left.
Before returning to Wildfire Gang, she went to explore the vicinity, but unfortunately, she still didn't trigger any high-reward quests.
It didn't matter; her gains today were already plentiful enough.
Not to mention the experience rewards, as the video of her taking down Seven with two shots was uploaded to the community, her popularity surged again, showing a strong trend of surpassing the large mech and temporarily topping the popularity rankings.
Lily felt deeply satisfied.
She felt that she couldn't just wait for the official game's buffs; it was necessary to make good use of this popularity to have players contribute to her rapid leveling plan.
...
The indicator lights of the instruments in the laboratory flickered non-stop, and Nine, who was guarding the door, stood with his arms crossed, his face filled with impatience.
"Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Eight full hours had passed since Seven left, and during this time, no news had come back, which made him feel extremely uneasy.
After a moment, the laboratory door was pushed open, and Wildfire Gang Leader walked in.
"Where is he?" Nine asked anxiously.
Wildfire Gang Leader said, "Couldn't find him."
Nine frowned, "If you couldn't find him, why didn't you send more people to look?"
"Wouldn't sending too many people out alert the enemy?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Nine suddenly roared, "If you're afraid of alerting the enemy, why don't you find another excuse, like going to apprehend Outsiders? Now, send people to look for him. If you don't find him, you'll be in for it!"
Wildfire Gang Leader's face flushed red, but in the end, he obediently agreed.
"I'll go right away."
Dropping that sentence, he quickly left.
Don't let his gloomy expression fool you; deep down, he was already overjoyed.
Those Outsiders were truly fierce; they actually managed to make Seven unable to return. However, Seven was gone, but there was still the troublesome Nine here.
Wildfire Gang Leader hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and decided to do something big—
Secretly inform the Outsiders to get rid of Nine as well!
He had to kill them. Seven and Nine were two madmen. If he didn't get rid of them all, they would eventually kill him.
"Since you're not acting human, don't blame me for not acting human either!"
After exiting through the secret door, Wildfire Gang Leader immediately arranged for his subordinates to search for the missing Seven. Afterward, he found Lily.
"Lily, do you think I can trust you?"
What he said, my name is Lily, and I read as loyalty!
Lily immediately pledged her loyalty: "I was promoted by you, Leader. There are no two suns in the sky; my heart only holds you, Leader, as my one sun!"
