Chapter 79 Starting Template!
"Boss, are we not going to wait anymore?"
In the workers' quarter, Park Young-joon gathered the last remaining key members of the Seoul Metropolitan Government who had managed to escape, but he didn't see Kim Hyun-woo, whom he most wanted to see.
That fool! I not only entrusted him with important tasks, but also left him legendary items, and now he's vanished without a trace. Even that stupid woman, Choi Min-ji, came looking for him, but he didn't come. Clearly, it's not that he can't find him, but that he's unwilling...
Thinking of this, Park Young-joon's face darkened to an extreme.
"Could he have betrayed us?" a member asked, frowning.
"It shouldn't be..." Cui Minzhi, who only had one life left, seemed somewhat rational this time. He said in a low voice, "At the time, I was very sure that Jin Yu died before us. If he had betrayed us, there would be no need for him to risk his life to put on such a show. Moreover, he could have reported our base. He didn't. I guess he was just afraid that the chairman would blame him."
"Hmph..." Park Young-joon scoffed, "Afraid? Who in this world can guarantee success? Besides, I was the one who assigned him this task. Since he was chosen, he has to bear the consequences of failure. He doesn't even have the courage to bear them. What a coward! Let's not wait for him anymore, let's go!"
Choi Min-ji's eyes lit up when she heard this. In fact, Kim Hyun-woo had already found her a few hours earlier. Without Kim Hyun-woo's escort, she probably wouldn't have been able to reach the workers' area stronghold so easily. Her foolish and selfish younger brother hadn't even thought of looking for her and had come over on his own. She never expected that the last person to lend her a helping hand would be Kim Hyun-woo.
He didn't come with me because he asked me to find out the chairman's attitude, and he would secretly follow the group from now on.
"You just said that Wang Gou Dan was actually the one who plotted against you in the end?"
"Yes..." Cui Minzhi said with certainty, "The one who finally emerged from the shadow of that mysterious thief was Wang Gou Dan, but we don't know who the thief who was able to steal things from Jin Xuanyu's backpack was."
"A thief who steals items directly from a backpack?" Park Young-joon closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He did know of a profession that could do that, but it had to be a level 30 or higher Flash Thief. With the resources of Wang Gou Dan and his gang, where would they find such a high-level player?
Thief players are notoriously slow at leveling up, so cultivating such high-level thieves is definitely not something Wang Gou Dan and his rabble could do. They must have someone behind them!
"Boss, where are we going now?" Cui Minzhi asked cautiously.
"I contacted the old underground gang, and they will send us out in a container shipment in three days. After that, I plan to expand northward. And now, Duke Raven of the Beth Empire is said to be recruiting a large number of intelligence personnel."
"I have sent carrier pigeons to all the outposts to notify all members of the Han City. If you are willing to go to the north together, try to meet at the border of Holy Stone City. If you are not willing... then you will have nothing to do with the Han City from now on."
Cui Minzhi nodded slightly. It was likely that only a minority of members were willing to follow. The Han City had more than two thousand members, but the majority of them were Chinese players who had been forcibly recruited. Most of them were undocumented and unregistered. There were only about three hundred members of the Han City community, scattered in various cities. Most of them had legal status, and the majority were journalists, while a few were businessmen. Many of them had obtained their legal status six or seven years ago, and many of them had already started families.
However, this time, innocent bystanders will be caught in the crossfire. These people with status will become the priority targets of the Mirandil government. Their families will be torn apart, and their lives will be ruined. It is unknown whether they will still be willing to give up everything they have and choose to follow the chairman again.
However, this is no longer something I should be considering.
For the first time, Choi Min-ji realized that she should also think about herself and find a way to become extraordinary, just like Kim Hyun-woo. Even if it was the worst choice, she could leave the guild and live a good life.
"Holy Stone City?" Some people suddenly realized, "That lawsuit that has nothing to do with the Rain Woman, that woman named Eliza, isn't she the Lady of Holy Stone City?"
"Hmph..." Park Young-joon sneered, "We chose the Beth Empire for two reasons: first, because we have a base there; second, because of this grudge. That woman named Eliza was most likely involved in this scheme. We'll take this opportunity to investigate her thoroughly. If it really is her... I will make her pay an unimaginable price!"
Ee-ya, ee-ya...
Inside the carriage, the bumpy ride caused the child to cry the whole way. Eliza had no experience with children, and the crying annoyed her. But for some reason, every time the child got to Bright, he would suddenly quiet down, staring at Bright with his small, dark eyes, babbling incoherently.
Sometimes she found it strange that the child wasn't close to Gou Dan, but extremely close to Bright, and... she and Bright both had rare black pupils.
Inside the carriage, Bright held the child, his expression a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.
There's something wrong with this child...
The reason we noticed something was wrong with her was because she had the same name as the player above her head.
This is also why Bright is resistant to marriage and relationships, because he is afraid that the child he gives birth to will be a player who has traveled through time with memories, and that child will definitely not be considered his own.
But this little guy's name is quite unique.
Number 009!
This doesn't sound like a player's name. And if it were a player, even if they couldn't speak, they wouldn't be so flamboyant, staring at me so boldly, without even trying to contact Dog Egg and the others. Most importantly, it's their eyes.
That childlike innocence in their eyes cannot be faked.
Most importantly, something was wrong with the intelligence as well.
This time, only one piece of information was released, which clearly stated that player number 009 is not a player!
It's not a player, but it has the same name as players above its head. What does that mean?
And why does this child look so special?
Why doesn't the intelligence report specify what she is?
In the past, they would always try their best to reveal information to me, so why are they hiding it from me this time?
What exactly is going on with this intelligence notebook?
As he pondered, Bright drifted off to sleep, unaware that the child had opened his eyes wide and was looking out of the carriage. The carriage had just passed Siqin Garden, where countless spirits hovered in the air, their light dull, but the child was dancing with joy, as if he could sense their presence.
Meanwhile, new intelligence began to be updated in the notebook in Bright's arms.
Intelligence 1: Number 009 can inherit one of your professional talents. The inheritance can be random or you can choose it.
Intelligence 2: The inherited profession will be synchronized with you, both in terms of level and profession characteristics.
Intelligence 3: Han Du has already marched to the border of Holy Stone City, intending to specifically disrupt the peace of Holy Stone City.
Intelligence 4: The Shadow Cultists have noticed the players in the north and are planning to recruit them.
Intelligence 5: The first spirit seed will appear on the outskirts of the forest in ten days. The Shadow Followers will try their best to find it, as it will be the key to changing the current situation!
"Task?"
The little cabbage, who was already preparing for hibernation, was completely dumbfounded when it heard the system notification for the first time.
[System notification: The World Tree, which has always protected you, has issued a quest. The first batch of Elf seeds will emerge as spores on the outer edge of the forest. Do everything in your power to ensure their safety. They will be the first bloodline of the elves to return to the continent. They must not be discovered by the shadows, nor by the forces of ambitious individuals. Otherwise, this fragile nascent bloodline will be controlled. Hide them, let them grow strong, this is your...]
My mission as an apostle of the Elf King.
What the heck?
Little Cabbage was stunned. When did I become some kind of apostle?
Besides, you said it yourself, those elf seeds are all on the outskirts of the forest, how am I supposed to go out and complete the mission?
You didn't even offer to open a way for me?
What should I do?
But before it could even complain, the tree roots had already touched the cabbage's head, followed by a massive message.
Countless millennia ago, the Elven race possessed a brilliant civilization and was one of the rulers of this world. Their vast forest roots spread throughout the world, and the entire continent was enveloped by the World Tree. The noble Elves could transmit information to every corner through the roots of the World Tree.
Intelligence, knowledge, and civilization can all be shared and stored. Elves, who coexist harmoniously with nature, are the perfect race in this world!
But one day, the peace was shattered, and the dark side of the world emerged. The mysterious Shadow Isles bewitched the lower classes of humanity, leading them to rebel against the Elven Empire.
Now, along with the awakening of the elves' will, the evil forces lurking on the Shadow Isles are also stirring. The elves are now very fragile, too fragile to withstand even the slightest disturbance.
They need protection and must grow quietly under the watchful eyes of various forces!
The vines receded, and Bai Cai sat blankly on the ground, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.
But I think I understand what the World Tree is trying to achieve.
They also learned a secret about this world.
The so-called elves... are actually just people!
No... it should be said that the original template for all extraordinary intelligent beings is human!
Giants, elves, dragons, and even those races of the chaotic evil faction—their initial template is human!
