"Lily's original bounty doesn't need to be increased; keep it as is. Send people to investigate the reason for Lily and the Gene Primordial's falling out. At the same time, issue an order: our own people don't need to rush to act if they encounter Lily. If she is willing to join us, I can forgive her previous rudeness."
Bernardo nodded and said, "Yes. President, news has also come from Songshan. Our surprise attack was successful, and the data you wanted has been successfully obtained."
Hearing this, the gloom in the President's heart immediately cleared away, and he burst into laughter.
"Good, good, good! Although Bagaros Base is gone, as long as we can successfully obtain that data, everything is worth it!"
Yulia, confined in a circular machine, silently listened to the President and Bernardo's words.
She wasn't really interested in these matters. She only wanted to know if Lily would go to Goli Desert as promised.
She didn't have much time left. If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know if she could escape from here again.
...
The next day.
Lily continued on her journey, carrying Excavation Princess and Anya.
She drove for a while, then stopped for a while, trying to collect more necessities like gasoline, food, water, and basic materials for making Prayer Cards in the settlements and camps along the way.
In her free time, she would browse the community and check on the status of players and the Gene Primordial.
In yesterday's operation, many players died twice. Initially, they were worried that the lost experience wouldn't be recovered, but after the mission settlement, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the experience from the mission rewards not only made up for their losses but also allowed them to level up once more.
"Fighting! Awesome! Next time, I want to have fun with Lily again!"
"Wake up, Lily has already run away, you can't have fun anymore."
"Don't worry, wherever Lily goes, I'll follow. I've figured it out, Lily is just a human-shaped cheat given by the officials to us 'handicapped' players. If it weren't for always following Lily, my level would never have risen so quickly."
"Damn, damn, damn, I'm so envious! Those who died twice got so many rewards, so wouldn't Pai Da and the others be able to level up twice directly?"
"By the way, what about those from the Iron Rain Guild? Didn't they discover Bagaros Base? How many rewards did they get?"
This topic attracted a lot of attention. Many guild leaders who had been shown up by Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky rushed over, such as Black Si from Loyalty Hall. They all @ Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky, asking him to come out and show off again.
Looking at the constant notifications popping up in the background, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky now just wanted to escape Earth.
Rewards?
Rewards my ass!
Because he had been tied to the laboratory bed, when the mission was settled, he only received the most basic rewards. It could be said that among the hundreds of players who participated in this operation, the few from their Iron Rain Guild were the most miserable.
What a sin.
He had only wanted to join the Truth Society because he disliked Lily's popularity and the limited mission rewards he got by following her. He never expected the Truth Society to make him lose so thoroughly.
Damn!
Now it's good. Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky doesn't dare to show his face at all. If those guild leaders who he had shown up before knew how miserable he was, they would laugh their heads off.
How could Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky endure such humiliation?
Fortunately, he had hidden his personal information when he first entered the game, otherwise he would have been exposed by now. But he could only hide for a while, not forever. When the leaderboard opens in the next version, Black Si and the others will definitely know he failed to show off when they see he's not on the leaderboard.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky gritted his teeth.
It's all the Truth Society's fault, Truth Society, damn you!
If you don't let me join, then I'll do everything I can to prevent other players from joining. Without players to help, how will you fight against the other factions then?
The enraged Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky did not accept his fate.
My fate is in my hands, not in the heavens. He felt he still had a path to take.
He just received news that Lily had left Lynn, which meant that the number of players following Lily would be very small for a short period. If he could seize this opportunity to take on more missions from Lily, he might be able to turn things around before the new version arrives.
"Damn it, isn't it just about who can lick Lily better?"
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky quickly contacted Excavation Princess again. Now, the only one who knew Lily's whereabouts was Excavation Princess, who Lily had taken with her.
...
"Lily, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky just contacted me. He said he wants to know where you are and hopes to continue following you."
In the car, Excavation Princess turned her head and said.
Lily held the steering wheel with both hands, looking straight ahead: "It's too dangerous now. Let's tell them after we settle down in Goli Desert."
Now was not the time to reveal her whereabouts. She didn't want anyone to disturb her transaction with Yulia.
Since she said so, Excavation Princess naturally had no objections.
In fact, Excavation Princess wished all other players would stay far away from Lily so she could have Lily all to herself for exclusive reports.
After speeding through the infected zone for a day, and fighting two mutated creatures during that time, Lily finally learned the offensive skill she wanted at a large settlement.
