This way, she would earn the difference, and the players would have a stable source of income. After the players earned money, they would come to her to spend, and after a cycle, all the money would still end up with her.
The only problem was that she needed to find a merchant who could take all the mutated sand worm materials collected by the players.
After resting until evening, when everyone was ready, Lily and Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky each drove a car towards Red Sand Camp.
Along the way, they encountered several sand worm attacks. This was when Old Nissen's strength was revealed.
Even with only one eye, after grabbing the sniper rifle Lily handed him, he easily picked off the approaching sand worms one by one. It truly showed the composure of an old artist.
"Back in the day, I could have been more than ten seconds faster!"
Old Nissen proudly shrank back into the car.
The two captured Red Sand Camp lackeys had originally hoped to be rescued once they reached Red Sand Camp. Seeing that even an "old geezer" like Old Nissen had such strength, their hearts instantly sank halfway.
It's over.
What kind of monsters did they provoke?!
...
3:30 AM.
The cars stopped in an open area two kilometers from Red Sand Camp, and Old Nissen began to explain the tactics he had spent all day devising to the players.
"Most of the people in Red Sand Camp are out, but there are still sixty to seventy people inside, which is three times our number. So, a direct assault is very unwise. We must first lure out a portion of them and then annihilate them in batches."
"My plan is to use the bodies of the two captives as bait for the first wave of enticement towards Red Sand Camp. After eliminating the people Red Sand Camp sends out to investigate, we'll split into two groups. A few people will stay in front to continue the lure, while the others will go around to attack from the rear."
"If this sneak attack can breach Red Sand Camp, that would be best. If not, then we move to the third step: lure Red Sand's people into a trap."
Old Nissen pulled out a diagram he had drawn beforehand, poking at the trap with his pen.
"If we try to lure them into a trap right away, they might not fall for it. But after being ambushed by us twice, and successfully repelling our second ambush, they will most likely get hot-headed and follow us directly."
After speaking, he paused and looked around.
"What do you think of this plan?"
Patrick Star nodded, "Not bad."
Convert to My Lily echoed, "Very well thought out."
Old Nissen smiled slightly, "Then it's decided. This plan will minimize casualties to the greatest extent."
"Wait a moment." Just then, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky, who was eager to show off, stood up. "I have a suggestion regarding this plan."
"Hm?"
Everyone turned to look at Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky was the leader of a large guild and often commanded players in other games, so his suggestion was worth listening to.
"Honestly, I think overly complex tactics are not very meaningful for us right now. We haven't undergone professional training, and we haven't coordinated much together, so accidents can easily happen. And once an accident occurs leading to plan failure, it will waste a lot of time for us to come back."
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky's words were recognized by all the players present.
They were gathered together because of Lily and had barely coordinated a few times. Asking them to perfectly execute complex tactics was indeed difficult.
"So, my plan is to abandon those complex luring tactics. When the time comes, we'll directly bring these two captives to confront Red Sand's people. When Red Sand's people approach, we'll throw mutated sand worm poison sacs at them. This will definitely cause chaos in Red Sand Camp, and then we can either attack directly or retreat to lure them into a trap."
Poison sacs?
This reminded Patrick Star and the others of the quest to collect poison sacs at the Abandoned Cooling Plant.
"This method is indeed good. Anyway, we are not afraid of mutation. If we are lucky enough to hit Marco or Rattlesnake, the mission will be immediately declared complete."
A group of players praised it one after another.
Among them, Black Tiger Afu was the most excited. Playing games should be like this. Tactics and strategy just gave him a headache; rushing was much more effective.
"But this means we have to collect some poison sacs first, which will delay us a bit. If we drag it out, it might be dawn."
"That's not a problem." Old Dog of Iron Rain Guild pulled out a bag full of poison sacs. "Before we set off, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and I spent an afternoon farming Sandworms. These poison sacs should be enough."
Seeing these poison sacs, the other players' eyes immediately lit up.
"Awesome!"
"Damn, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky, you really thought of everything."
Some rogue players were originally hostile towards Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and his group, worried that Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky would snatch the mission and leave them with nothing. But now their views had completely changed. Having a high-level player like Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky leading them made things much easier.
Basking in a wave of admiring gazes, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky was in a great mood.
A comeback, starting now!
Damn Truth Society, just you wait! I will follow Lily and break into your headquarters sooner or later!
This wave was a case of love turning into hate.
As Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky grew happy, Old Nissen couldn't be happy.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky's plan was already outrageous, but what made it even more outrageous was that Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and Old Dog dared to touch the poison sacs of mutated Sandworms with just a broken glove. If the poison in the sacs accidentally leaked out, anyone who touched it would be in big trouble!
Lily, however, was quite calm about it.
Whether a poison sac was damaged or not required careful inspection for NPCs to determine, but for players, they just needed to look at the poison sac's name. Undamaged ones were [xx Poison Sac], and damaged ones were [xx Poison Sac (Damaged)], which was straightforward and crude.
"Since a decision has been made, let's prepare to act."
As Lily spoke, the players got out of the car one after another, leaving only Lily, Anya, and Old Nissen in the car.
Old Nissen was anxious: "That's not a plan at all; it's a suicidal tactic. How could you…"
Lily only said one sentence: "Even if they die, they can be resurrected."
"What did you just say?"
Old Nissen looked at Lily, then at the players eagerly setting up traps, wondering if he had misheard something.
Resurrection?
If the dead could truly be resurrected, how could there be so much suffering caused by separation and death in this world?
Lily took out Little Yulia, who had been stuffed in her pocket.
"You must have noticed, right?"
Yulia had long since disconnected from Little Yulia, but now this Little Yulia had Yulia's complete memories, so she knew what Lily was talking about.
"Half of the people you brought, I saw in Bagaros. Several of them, I remember, definitely died at the time, but now they are alive again."
"?"
Even Little Yulia said so, Old Nissen had to believe it, but that only made him feel even more incredible.
Rising from the dead was not something Ordinary people could do. What was the origin of Lily and these people?
A thick fog obscured Old Nissen's eyes. He wanted to seek some answers from Little Yulia, but Little Yulia was just a rag doll, showing no emotional fluctuations from her appearance.
In fact, Little Yulia was very excited now; she was even more interested in Lily.
Being able to break free from her enslavement, being able to increase her strength many times over in a very short period, being able to command a group of strange people who could resurrect—how many more surprises did Lily hide that she didn't know about?
