Chapter 891 Planting Trees Is Really a Repentance Mission

Just as things were getting awkward, dozens of players from the Great Spring Broken Bottle Merchant Guild, who had been waiting nearby, rushed over and surrounded the voyeur, yelling, "Where's your thief gang? We'll beat you up in the street!"

While calling out to the NPCs in the guild channel: "Elder, four ladies! The guild leader has an urgent matter and needs trees planted!"

Sila paused for a moment, considering under what circumstances to reply. After all, she was supposed to be an NPC, and NPCs respond to players in various ways. They hadn't even reached the most basic level of goodwill.

The person secretly taking pictures immediately realized something was wrong. Could these four female NPCs from the Empire be from the Great Spring Merchant Guild? But they absolutely couldn't back down in a street fight: "Come on, even if I'm the only one, I can take on dozens of you without a problem!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hit him!"

The person who was secretly filming immediately threw out a smoke net, and a fight broke out in the street in an instant.

The Da Chun Gang and the Baka Thieves are the only two special professional teams in Black Iron City that can fight in the street without getting a red name, instantly attracting a crowd of players to watch and cheer...

At this moment, Vivian, recovering from her embarrassment, replied, "So the four ladies have joined the Broken Bottle Guild?"

Shelley said, "Yes, I made a special trip to the Empire these past two days to see the guild master, who is serving his sentence in the desert. It was the guild master who took in these four ladies and assigned them to stay at Miss Vivian's tavern."

The merchant guild players nearby were anxiously waiting for Elder Zheng to speak, but upon hearing about the desert imprisonment, they immediately chimed in: "Elder, the guild leader made us plant trees to protect the environment precisely because he saw the desert!"

Sila was suddenly stunned. Planting trees to protect the environment? Is this really a punishment task from the God Realm prison?
Regardless, I'll reluctantly acknowledge that they triggered the keyword, and I can reply with the question: "Is the president using tree planting to reduce his sentence?"

The players immediately got excited: "The guild leader didn't say that! Elder, there are no saplings for sale in Black Iron City. Why don't you go to Oak City and buy some saplings to bring back?"

Xila was in a real bind. If it really was Da Chun's sentence reduction mission, he definitely wouldn't want to do it. But to take his place, he still had to put on an act... Come to think of it, if this black dragon mentor hadn't appeared, he would definitely be heading to Fafnir and the city lord with millions of privilege points by now. However, Fafnir was still in Gem City, and he couldn't find her there.

Okay, I'll go buy it and see if it triggers the quest. If it doesn't, then it's confirmed that Da Chun is deliberately trying to lure Raziel.

Silla sighed, "A round trip to Oak City costs 1 teleportation fees."

The players said, "None of us have 1, so let's give the money to the elder!"

Sila chuckled. This was a game feature specifically designed to prevent gold farming studios; players' money remained solely in their game accounts and could not be transferred between each other. Transactions could only be conducted through NPCs, and he was one of those NPCs who could receive money. Of course, exceptions existed for places like Silver City that could mint physical coins.

Sheila activated the nun's "Accept Donations" function: "Then donate to me."

Dozens of players donated, ranging from 3000 to 4000, and their favorability towards each other increased rapidly.

They were overjoyed and excited: "My affinity with the beautiful elder has increased."

Sheila scoffed. What good is this little bit of goodwill? It's not even enough for me to lift her skirt.

Is this really the average player's wealth level? It's pathetic. But it's good, that's exactly what we want, otherwise the pressure to exchange currency would be immense.

However, they're all donating money and not fighting anymore?

Shelley glanced to the side and suddenly saw that Raphael's minor official from Gem City was waving two baguettes and knocking the idiot Shenqian Baga unconscious on the ground.

Ha! Raphael's subordinates do have some talented people.

Finally, after raising over ten thousand mining coins, Seraphim said to her Black Dragon mentor, "Mentor, I need to go to Oak City to buy saplings. Why don't you go to Miss Vivian's tavern for a while—"

The mentor said, "I want to go too!"

Sheila was taken aback: "I'll just buy it and come right back!"

The mentor said, "I need to go and take a look."

The four noble ladies said, "Let's also go and check out Oak City!"

The players were getting anxious: "Elder, we can't play like this for too long!"

"Did the president say where the trees would be planted?" Silla asked.

"No, but the trees must be planted by members of our chamber of commerce."

Sillari sighed, "Five of these belong to our guild. Perhaps we can try planting them in Oak City, which is nearby. We'll see what happens then."

Vivian smiled awkwardly: "Then the elder and the four young ladies had a good time."

Hathaway said irritably, "We're here for an inspection! We'll talk about the ring when we get back."

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

This gave Xila a major headache: "This Da Chun is absolutely ridiculous! He actually managed to run into the owner of the lost ring. How do I explain this ring?"

Gabriel scoffed, "Just say it was bought on the black market."

Raphael: "How about we get a jeweler to work on it?"

Sila was speechless: "Then should I go back and talk to Vivian?"

Michael said, "You can't possibly go back in front of these four noble ladies; that would only make things suspicious. Trust the NPCs' intelligence and see how Vivian handles it."

Just then, the butler came over to report: "Sir, the team from the front lines has sent a video claiming credit for their work."

Michael was stunned: "Honors? Let me see."

Butler: "Okay."

The video started playing in the chat group, showing a player named Little Mountain God repairing a magic tower inside the Shadowstream City magic tower and taking the opportunity to do something sneaky.

The crowd was astonished: "This team is quite impressive. They actually managed to cultivate such a Shadow Fiend player? No wonder the enemy's artillery fire in the Mirror Fortress was abnormal."

Sariel looked very displeased: "What does this guy mean? Does he mean that our great victory is due to him?"

Raphael was equally displeased: "And then we're supposed to thank him with gratitude?"

Michael frowned: "Sariel, replay the screen recording of the battle just now."

Metatron stared at the screen recording, puzzled: "I believe it's the mermaid's divine power and luck, and I also believe it's the guild leader causing trouble, but it's hard to believe that a player could do something like this."

The butler reminded him, "This little mountain god is a former professional player who has been naturalized. He was sent to attack royal players in the southern canyon village some time ago."

Michael suddenly became interested: "Naturalization? So you were treated very poorly before?"

Butler: "Yes, I've always been ostracized by the team. But with this incident, my status should rise a bit, and it will probably also trigger more conflicts."

Michael smiled and said, "Very good. Butler, find an opportunity to contact him discreetly. Also, go and give a verbal message of encouragement to the team before the gods, and tell them to make good use of this talent."

Butler: "Understood."

Sariel was taken aback: "Boss, even Xiaomei said this matter is questionable. What kind of talent is he?"

Gabriel laughed, "The boss wants to deliberately exacerbate their internal conflicts!" Michael laughed, "Mainly because a higher status makes it easier for the steward to make contact."

……

God's team headquarters.

In the previous battle, the uncontrolled destruction of the city's magic towers had exceeded the team's expectations. Little Mountain God would never think that he could cause such a result by just casually touching the boxes a few times. It was most likely the work of the missing fire dragon.

But that doesn't matter anymore. Considering that Tatami Sishimi is most likely in the city, and may even have already been monitoring and recording the Little Mountain God, the young master decisively decided to strike first, taking the initiative to claim credit from the Ten Elders, and completely eliminating Curry's idea of ​​threatening him.

While I was anxiously waiting, the housekeeper called back.

The young master trembled!
Hearing the steward's gentle words, the young master trembled with excitement: "Understood! It is my greatest honor to serve you! I will definitely give this talent a good chance and nurture him. Of course, after this incident, he may face trouble from the city's charges, but we will try our best to overcome it... Hey, understood! Thank you!"

After ending the call, the young master felt completely relieved: "Little Mountain Lord! Now, I appoint you as the leader of Group Zero, and your unit name will be Zero Shadow. Move into the dedicated server room tomorrow."

The command center erupted in chaos: "Team Zero?"

The young master asked, "Left Takamaru, Right Takamaru, Peeping Tom, Yamada-kun, how about it?"

He was already furious after being secretly filmed being knocked unconscious in a street fight, and the video was being posted online by a comedian to gain clicks. He had considered the possibility that Little Mountain God would be promoted to leader of Group 5, but he never expected that the young master would create a new Group Zero specifically for him! Does that mean he's above the other four groups? All because of a phone call from the Tenth Elder… Yes, the Tenth Elder's phone call was from the Divine Law!
Knowing that being beaten and mocked would displease the young master, the person who secretly took the photos quickly calmed down and said, "I support Xiaoshanjun!"

Anyway, the gamble was that the little mountain god would be arrested as a traitor and do nothing. This Zero Group is a joke.

Zuo Gaowanofuji's warrior group was engaged in a fierce battle with the royal team in the Wild Boar Forest outside Tieyan Village, and they were at a disadvantage, lacking confidence: "I... support."

Saito Utakamaru's maritime trade association has yet to be officially recognized, so he has nothing to say but "support."

Only Yamada Kame, from the Hell Mining Group, remained silent.

The young master didn't actually intend to ask for his opinion: "Yamada-kun, currently only your Hell Mining Team has entered the third level. Yamada-kun doesn't have any subordinates yet, and the talents he needs are all drawn from you. Send the information of your outstanding subordinates to Yamada-kun."

Yamada's voice trembled: "I will select some players who are suitable to develop into Shadow Fiends and hand them over to Koyama-kun."

The little mountain god was both excited and apprehensive: "I will definitely work hard to fight for the interests and glory of our God's group."

The young master let out a long breath: "Sakamaru-kun, continue to show the royal team what you're made of!"

Zuo Gaowan could only channel his resentment into fighting spirit: "Understood!"

……

Shadow City, half-ruined, in dire straits.

As the initiator of the campaign, Alpha is destined to fail and go to jail. The only thing he can do now is to quickly shift the blame and get a reduced sentence: "I reported the new recruit Little Mountain God of the Magic Tower Group 9. He is the one who caused our campaign to fail completely!"

Overlord also needs to shift blame more often, so he quickly seconded: "Submit to a military court for trial!"

At this moment, the little mountain god also realized his predicament. He was betting that his destruction was just an act, and that even if he went to court, it wouldn't be a big deal and he would be released soon.

So he was first locked in the "glass cell" reserved for Shadow Fiends. Currently, the entire city is focused on disaster relief, and the NPC courts are too busy to attend to him.

However, the cell also appeared to have been damaged to a considerable extent, and the seal was not properly secured.

The little mountain god's heart skipped a beat. He could actually escape! But he couldn't afford to gamble...

Just then, the little mountain god saw Tatami, who had been arrested in the next cell, through the broken glass wall. Compared to his dejected state, the little mountain god, who had just been promoted, was full of vigor: "Tatami-kun!"

Alpha paused for a moment, then became quite annoyed and didn't want to pay any attention.

The little mountain god couldn't hide his pride in front of outsiders: "I've been promoted to the leader of the zero group of the God's Team, mainly responsible for cooperating with the Tata Team. Now we can talk face to face and discuss the in-depth details of the cooperation."

Alpha was even more displeased: "I'm not part of the Tata team."

The little mountain god laughed and said, "We know that we never intended to cooperate with Tata from the beginning. They don't have the ability. What we want is to cooperate with you."

Alpha sneered: "Fine, let's cooperate to get a reduced sentence and get out of jail first."

"no problem!"

Alpha offered a solution: "The prison is unstable and could collapse at any time. What we need to do is make the prison collapse and then make a name for ourselves as disaster relief workers."

The little mountain god suspected he was digging a pit and had to be careful: "But that would be considered a crime of vandalism and escape from prison!"

Alpha scoffed: "See that sentry post outside? It's not stable either. We're trying to destroy that one. When the guard is pinned down, he'll be begging us to come out and rescue him."

The little mountain god was taken aback: "It's a bit far, our shadows can't reach it!"

Alpha laughed: "That's why we need to cooperate. To show our sincerity in cooperating, your shadow will be responsible for sabotage, and I'll give you a shadow power boost. If you can't show sincerity, I'm going to sleep; I stayed up all night yesterday and I'm quite tired."

The little mountain god knew that Curry was always pushing his luck, so he couldn't indulge his temper: "I've also been up for two nights in a row, and I'm not feeling well either. I suggest we rest and sleep until we're both clear-headed..."

……

Oak City.

After arriving via teleportation, Sheila went straight to the cultivation shop and bought one of each type of sapling, ten in total. However, the prices were very high.

Shelley was too lazy to find a place outside the city to plant it; instead, she used her privileges, under the guise of observing the results, to demand that the shopkeeper personally plant it in the cultivation greenhouse. If it was effective, she would place a large order.

The store manager was completely unable to resist and had no choice but to agree.

The moment Xila planted the tea tree, a notification appeared—System notification: You have planted a tea tree, supporting Chairman Dachun's act of repentance.

Sheila was genuinely shocked: "Repentance? It really is a sentence reduction task!"

Gabriel was astonished: "There's actually a way to trigger a mission like this?"

Sariel panicked: "We can't give him a reduced sentence!"

However, the four noble ladies also planted the seed, and they too jumped out with a repentance prompt: "Great, we can also contribute to the president!"

Hathaway was even more extravagant: "Manager, I'll buy this store!"

The store manager was surprised: "It can only be transferred, not sold, because this store is actually owned by the owner of Oak City, and I am just an employee."

Hathaway laughed and said, "Take me to see your master."

Sila panicked: "Does Miss have that much money?"

Hathaway laughed and said, "As long as the president is here, that's fine. As a legendary explorer, the Imperial Bank can lend you money."
