"I know."
Yulia's voice gradually softened.
Lily struck while the iron was hot: "Very good, I have a small request."
"What request?"
"Can you answer me a question after it's done?"
"Hmm?"
"I want to know why Inoue betrayed the Gene Primordial, and what secret related to the Gene Primordial he knows."
"I happen to know all of that."
"Then isn't that settled?"
Lily received a game prompt.
You have triggered a hidden quest [Yulia's Test]
Quest Description:...
Quest Objectives: 1. Eliminate the Red Sand Wanderer Camp. Rewards depend on contribution; 2. Kill the A-rank assassin hired by the Red Sand Wanderer Camp. Reward: 70,000 experience points, a one-time skill card.
Lily accepted the quest.
Yulia said: "I cannot stay here long, but I have already shared my memories with this doll. Unless there are special circumstances, you can communicate directly with the doll."
After giving her instructions, she left.
The doll, deprived of a large amount of Spirit Energy support, fell back onto Lily's lap.
Lily placed the doll back into the wooden box.
"Time waits for no one. I'll go investigate the exact location of the Red Sand Camp first."
After leaving the tavern, Lily took Excavation Princess and Anya, and drove straight to 5th Shelter. Three days ago, when she revealed her whereabouts through Excavation Princess, some players who received the news had already embarked on the road to 5th Shelter.
If she set off now, she should just about meet the first batch of players arriving at 5th Shelter.
Of course, Lily's purpose was not just to pick up people; she also planned to purchase some basic materials for making Prayer Cards at 5th Shelter.
...
A large truck drove into 5th Shelter.
When the truck stopped, more than twenty players jumped down one after another, including Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky, Patrick Star, and Convert to My Lily.
"Finally here!"
Looking at the buildings around, which were very different in style from the Lynn Settlement, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky let out a long sigh of relief.
For him, this journey was a huge gamble. If he lost, he probably wouldn't have the face to continue staying in the Iron Rain Guild.
However, he hadn't encountered any accidents along the way, which should be a good sign, right?
"Where should we look for Lily next?"
"Let's ask Excavation Princess."
Patrick Star opened his friends interface and started to private message Excavation Princess.
Before he could say a few words, several people suddenly walked out from a nearby alley.
"What do you want?"
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and the others nearby immediately became vigilant. They felt that these people meant no good.
As expected, the skinny man walking at the front asked: "Are you here to find Lily?"
Convert to My Lily was stunned: "How did you know?"
The skinny man said: "Someone is selling information on the Dark Web. He showed me your photos and said that you know where Lily is, and that you would arrive at 5th Shelter today. I bought this information. To be honest, at first I thought the person selling the information was a scammer, but I didn't expect him to be telling the truth."
Damn it!
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky immediately understood.
A player had sold their whereabouts to assassins who wanted to kill Lily!
He now had no time to care which player had sold the information. He had to quickly tell Excavation Princess what was happening here and have Excavation Princess notify Lily to stay away from 5th Shelter.
The skinny man chuckled: "Tell me where Lily is, and I can let you go. If you refuse to tell, it doesn't matter. I will imprison you, and Lily probably won't leave you alone."
"You're right."
At this moment, a voice familiar to all players rang out.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky, Patrick Star, Convert to My Lily, they all turned around and saw Lily walking out from the intersection.
She held an assault rifle in her hand, her index finger pulling the trigger. Along with the vibration of the muzzle, several bullets accurately hit the skinny man's head.
Before the effect of Extra-dimensional Erosion could even erupt, the skinny man peacefully fell to the ground.
"Lily!"
Convert to My Lily was ecstatic.
After more than ten days apart, he finally reunited with Lily again.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky also suddenly felt at ease. Since Lily dared to show herself at this time, she must have full confidence in being able to take down these assassins.
Things are looking up.
The message he just sent to Excavation Princess should significantly boost Lily's favorability towards him.
He had managed to cling to Lily, this major backer, once again!
