Wildfire Gang Leader said, "I'm glad you can say that. Now I have a very dangerous mission on my hands. I'm too big of a target myself to act, so I need you to do it."
Lily nodded, "Just say the word, Leader."
Dangerous?
She'd accept the mission first. If it was truly dangerous, she would run away.
Wildfire Gang Leader began to explain his predicament.
[You have triggered the hidden quest [Borrowing a Knife to Kill].]
[Quest Description: During his contact with the esteemed Outsiders, Wildfire Gang Leader's life was threatened. Unable to bear it any longer, he decided to fight to the death and eliminate the threat using the players' hands. He knows this is a very dangerous mission, but he still wishes to entrust this important task to you.]
[Quest Objective: Inform the players of Nine's existence.]
[Reward: 2000 experience points, 10 faction reputation, 5000 credit points.]
Lily's expression was slightly odd.
This quest was indeed very dangerous for the other members of Wildfire Gang; a slight mistake could lead to them being dealt with by the players. Therefore, the reward of 2000 experience points was quite reasonable.
But for her, it was just a matter of a single sentence. This was practically free experience; it would be foolish not to take it.
Seeing Lily accept the quest without hesitation, Wildfire Gang Leader smiled with relief.
He had actually considered asking others for help, but in a place like Wildfire Gang, he himself would laugh at the mention of trust. Everyone was there for profit. If he asked those old hands who were already gorging themselves, they might well weigh their options and sell him out to Nine. It was more suitable to find an energetic young person like Lily.
"Go."
Wildfire Gang Leader waved his hand; he had already seen Nine walking towards him.
Lily turned and left. After walking some distance, she vaguely heard Nine say that he wanted to personally participate in the investigation.
"One is called Seven, and one is called Nine. Although Wildfire Gang Leader didn't explicitly say it just now, it seems the 'esteemed Outsiders' he mentioned refer to the Truth Society. I wonder what the Truth Society is doing here."
Lily was very curious. A small place like the Abandoned Cooling Plant didn't seem like a profitable location.
She didn't make any unnecessary moves. She first went to the player stronghold to deliver the message.
On her way back to Wildfire Gang, she saw a pickup truck with multiple layers of protection parked by the roadside. Two people, a man and a woman, stood beside the car. They both looked very young. The man was wearing a leather jacket, and the woman was wearing a work jacket set.
This was the first time Lily had seen a perfectly intact car since she became an NPC. She subconsciously threw two Spiritual Visions over.
The male NPC's data panel was relatively simple.
[Name]: Yago Kaufman (Elite)
[Template]: Special
[Main Profession]: Sniper Lv2 [Sub-profession Agent Lv10 (Max Level)]
The female NPC's data panel also seemed simple at first glance.
[Name]: Elite
[Template]: Ordinary
[Main Profession]: Junior Mechanic Lv2 [Sub-profession Scholar Lv10 (Max Level)]
After skipping a string of unimportant data, Lily's gaze fell on Xia Shi's [Talent]. What caught her eye was a dazzling red [Strong Luck].
[Strong Luck]: Naturally extremely lucky.
Although the description was just a simple sentence, Lily already understood that this woman named Xia Shi was a type of life that inspired envy, jealousy, and hatred—
An European Emperor!
The terror of an European Emperor is self-evident. They can easily achieve double yellows in ten consecutive draws, withdraw cash on Pinduoduo. It is rumored that European Emperors have very short lifespans, but it must be clarified that European Emperors actually have very long lifespans.

Lily quickly closed the data panel; she couldn't bear to look at that dazzling talent.
"What are these two people doing? From their professions, they are definitely not Ordinary people."
Lily had a bad premonition. First, the Truth Society emerged, and then another group of people of unknown origin arrived. It seemed that something big was about to happen at the Abandoned Cooling Plant.
Although it's basically standard plot for a game's Novice Village to have something big happen, her current strength isn't enough for complete self-preservation, which is a headache.
