Chapter 910 Protectors and Social Activists

Tata Team Headquarters, Tata War God's luxurious private room.

Since besieging the Earl's mansion last night and successfully sending the oak puppet inside, God of War Tata went to an inn to log off and sleep, as he had been too tired these past few days.

When he woke up, he found so much more had happened. Especially the fact that Alpha Shadow City, which had been so confident of victory, had been defeated! What's Alpha's situation now? He didn't know, and he had no contact with anyone on the dark web. Beta should still be at the Earl's mansion; what he was doing, he didn't know either.

Actually, upon learning of Alpha's failure, Tata felt a strange, inexplicable sense of satisfaction alongside her disappointment. After all, the "oracle-level" instructions, delivered via the dark web and lasting no more than a minute each time, had put a lot of pressure on Tata. Now it seemed that even the oracle wasn't so impressive after all.

Fortunately, the puppet's strings were connected to her, and Tata could sense the puppet's constant movement from the rhythm of the strings. What was the puppet doing?
Tata was too tired last night and couldn't figure out why the puppet was so willing to come to Black Iron City. Now it's dawned on her: the puppet clearly knows the Earl. But the puppet has been trapped in the Oak City Tomb for 100 years, so it must know the Earl's ancestor from a hundred years ago. Anything related to a hundred years ago is bound to trigger a major event.

So all Tata could do was play the matches while waiting for orders and drinking tea in the tavern below the hotel.

Then came even more shocking news: the Bone Dragon Evil God of the Bronze Tomb had successfully broken through the guardian deity's interception and escaped!
But despite the magnitude of this matter, they still hadn't received any instructions from Alpha.

Tata can understand this. This bronze evil god is too special. Alpha even gave it two custom-made super artifact crystal pots. Alpha has no way to control it and can only treat it as a normal NPC and maintain a friendly relationship with it. So Tata can't help it at all.

……

The news continues: the wandering nun Sheila, who appreciates him, has appeared in Oak City with her suddenly appearing beautiful mentor, and they've gone to the pharmacy in the Oak slums!
Although she didn't know why, Tata inexplicably felt that this matter was related to her, after all, the Oak City slums were her newly conquered stronghold! Was she here to find me?
It's a pity that Tata didn't have any money left to teleport, otherwise she would have rushed over immediately.

Then something happened in Silver City too!
All the players in the city witnessed the large-scale mobilization of the Holy Knights of the Church. It was said that Metatron and the Silver Bishop had fallen out. The mobilization was quite large, but it was too dark and martial law was in effect, so the full picture could not be seen.

Even the Ten Elders have been mobilized, and this global upheaval has inexplicably stirred up Tata!
Last night's actions may have garnered some attention briefly, but it's far from enough. Given his status, he should be aiming for continued global recognition!

Just then, Manager Singh called: "Tata, the butler upstairs called, wanting you to prepare for the Black Iron City Animal Protection Association's event..."

Tata then learned more about the Silver City whale.

Tata was thrilled: "It's finally my turn! Get all the released members of Black Iron City on standby to assist me!"

Manager Singh was a little confused: "They can't even get into animal protection associations, so what kind of assistance can they provide?"

Tata said irritably, "It depends on the mission. Besides, I need to make a grand entrance so that the Tata Group can attract attention! The more people we send, the more the Ten Elders will think we're taking this seriously!"

Singh then came to his senses: "Then let them all stand by."

Having completed the preparations ahead of time, Tata immediately went to the animal protection association of the Black Iron Church, where she once again saw the Virgin Mary feeding goats in the vibrant garden courtyard: "Lady Mary!"

The Holy Mother sighed, "Last time I sent you to Oak City to find Master Raven, and Master Raven ended up in this mess. It's really puzzling."

Tata said, "Master Raven is a very devout Druid guardian. He is willing to give up his position to publicly criticize two important figures, so he must have discovered a big problem. I support Master Raven."

The Holy Mother sighed, "Just now, the Bronze Guardian also sent someone to contact us. He was also protesting against the persecution of animals by powerful figures and demanding that our association respond. What do you think?"

Tata came for this very reason: "I wholeheartedly agree!"

The Holy Mother said in a deep voice, "But that is a very important figure directly under the Emperor. We cannot afford to offend him."

Tata laughed. The more someone is someone you can't afford to offend, the more they become your stage to attract global attention!
"Then, what about organizing events in my personal capacity?"

The Holy Mother thought for a moment, then handed over a book: "Then I'll grant you the position of apprentice social activist, a protector of the community. The more people you rally, the higher your reputation will be, and the higher your rank will be. If you can't rally them, it just means you're not qualified enough yet..."

—System notification: You have received the book "On Evolution" as a gift from the Virgin Mary. You have been temporarily granted the profession of Animal Protection Trainee Social Activist! You have gained the profession skill "Call for Animal Protection".

—Note: This job is limited to animal protection issues. The temporary position is valid for 3 days. If you are not promoted within 3 days, you will be deemed unqualified and your job will be automatically cancelled.

Tata was overjoyed! This was a hidden class—no, a high-end class!
What is a social activist? This is a profession that only top-level Brahmins are qualified to engage in. They are honored guests of world leaders and can attract a large amount of sponsorship with just a word! And I, I only need to come here and say two words to obtain such a top-level profession. I am destined to shine brightly on the world stage!

The Holy Mother cautioned, "Be careful not to get involved with our animal protection association. If anyone asks you, just say you are an animal protector who learned from this book on your own. And don't say that I gave you the book—just say that Master Crow gave it to you. Anyway, he's wanted by the authorities and no one can find him."

Tata then came to her senses and understood her ingenious arrangement, but still asked, "Will studying this book help me understand the Guardian Spirit?"

The Holy Mother smiled and said, "That's possible, but three days probably won't be enough. Go and do your activities."

"Understood! I'm off!"

Tata left the church and first tested it with her team members, only to find that the skill had no effect on players at all! So the only option was to interact with NPCs.

Tata tried calling out to the passing NPCs, but her stamina was also depleted, and the NPCs became impatient, so she failed!
Continue! Failed!
Continue! Still failed!
Tata Khan is in a hurry, is it really that difficult? Or is my reputation not enough to persuade the NPCs?

Just as everyone was getting anxious, a team member reported: "The wandering nun has teleported back to Black Iron City from Gem City and entered the Night Rose Tavern."

Tata instinctively felt that the wandering nun could definitely help her, so she immediately went there.

When they arrived, they found players from the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild blocking the entrance.

Tata was furious! Although she knew that these people could beat people up in the street without getting a bad reputation, she only knew that it was limited to gang fights. Given her status, how could they dare to lay a hand on her in the street?

But I still don't dare to gamble. What if I get crippled like I did with Captain Baka? Then I won't be able to continue my activities as an activist.

Just then, Tata suddenly noticed that a section of the crowd on the street had cleared out. It was Amy, the little dancer, and her NPC bodyguards who had come out for a night stroll. Suddenly, Captain Baka, who was carrying a cane, was following them, secretly taking pictures of the immortal.

Tata knew she'd been beaten badly for secretly filming someone, but she didn't expect to be injured for so long, and couldn't help but burst out laughing...

In short, try to recruit that little dancer! Winning her over is equivalent to winning over hundreds of ordinary NPCs.

At this moment, the paparazzi also learned that Sheila had returned to the city immediately, and he immediately encouraged Amy to come and pull strings. The key was to pull strings with that mentor! He might not be able to do it himself, but Amy definitely could.

Seeing the crowd of players surging at the entrance, Amy didn't have her bodyguards drive them away. Instead, she said, "Let's wait on the street for a bit."

The person secretly filming was utterly stunned! Players weren't even considered human in the eyes of the NPC bodyguards; they could be driven away at any time. Amy had always chased them away like this when she went shopping, but she hadn't dispersed this group blocking the door—there was only one explanation: they were from the Wei Shen Shattered Bottle Gang, and Amy hadn't driven them away because of the gang's reputation. The person secretly filming felt an inexplicable resentment. Da Chun had been imprisoned for over a month, and the main force of the Shattered Bottle Gang from Wei Shen was idle in Iron Flame Village, yet the Shattered Bottle Gang was thriving. Why?
Then, by secretly taking pictures, I saw Tata.

It's disgusting. I didn't want to pay any attention to it at first. But the thought that the young master is cooperating with their team makes it even more disgusting!
But the God of War, Tata, came over on his own initiative. And the bodyguards didn't even try to stop him! What?

Tata was quite pleased with herself, never expecting that being a social activist would have this advantage. She greeted the person taking the photos first: "Hello, our good partner."

Without waiting for a response from the person who took the photos, he immediately appealed to Amy to protect animals: "Ms. Amy, I am an animal protection activist and social activist..."

The person secretly filming was shocked: "You're a social activist?"

Tata smiled smugly: "With my global ranking, isn't this a given?"

The person who was secretly filmed was very unhappy: "There are only 48 people."

Tata was also very unhappy: "Rankings don't reflect my true strength! Besides, with your global ranking of 1631, you can't possibly understand my level."

The person who secretly filmed scoffed, "Isn't it all because they ordered the launch gift pack?"

Tata scoffed, "Being able to customize gift packages is a testament to the Tata Group's strength! Don't you like gift packages?"

Amy felt embarrassed as she listened: "I think there are many more poor people who need help than those who are protecting animals."

Failed again!
The person secretly filming chuckled: "By the way, what's the current situation with your tatami Nishimi? How can we cooperate if we haven't been in touch?"

Tata said in a deep voice, "You can't understand the true high-level players."

Just as they were exchanging barbs, cheers erupted at the entrance of Wild Rose, and there came Sheila and her mentor.

Amy couldn't help but cheer: "Sister Celia has such beautiful bra straps!"

The paparazzi felt confident they had secured their position! They had also been eager to know what was going on with their street performance in Gem City.

It seemed that Sheila had given the Broken Bottle gang a task, and everyone scattered. Only then did Amy step forward to greet them: "Sister Sheila!"

Sillari's eyes lit up: "Amy!"

Then I saw that even the God of War, Tata, shamelessly squeezed in. Sheila was in NPC mode, and she spotted Tata's Guardian and Social Activist at a glance. She was really surprised! Although the butler told him to prepare in advance, was he really that well prepared?

Amy continued talking about the clothes: "Your bra straps are so pretty!"

Shelley smiled and said, "These were made by Master Jenny in Gem City, and we also prepared a set for our beloved Amy—"

After saying that, he took out a set of ribbons and personally dressed Amy in them. Amy's lively temperament instantly improved by a level, and she happily danced in the street!
Tata, the God of War, had no interest in watching the dance and eagerly called out, "Ms. Sillari—"

—System notification: You have been called upon by the God of War, Tata, to protect animals... Do you wish to respond to the call?
Seeing the system notification pop up, Xila couldn't help but laugh. She held her breath and waited for him to finish speaking before nodding repeatedly in agreement.

Tata was overjoyed and spoke even more enthusiastically.

Responding to the call!

Tata was incredibly excited: "Thank you, ma'am!"

Sila then said to the Black Dragon Lord, "Mentor, it seems this is the Black Iron City Animal Protection Association's response. We no longer need to look for Sister Mary."

The Black Dragon Lord smiled: "Warrior, we wholeheartedly agree with your ideals and admire your courage. We are willing to answer your call!"

System notification: Congratulations! Sister Instructor Artistuta has responded to your animal rights call! Your reputation +1!
So that's her name!
Just then, Amy responded, "Sister Celia and the mentor have joined? Then I'll join too!"

Tata couldn't even describe her feelings as ecstatic! Her mind was completely blank with joy!
At this moment, the one who had been secretly filming watched helplessly as the God of War, Tata, succeeded right before his eyes, and was heartbroken: "Ms. Celia, my mentor, is there anything I can do to help?"

The instructor chuckled: "Is this person a thief?"

He got really into taking photos: "Yes! I'm a tabloid reporter!"

The mentor smiled and said, "Let me think about it. You can stand by for now. I'll need your help anytime."

The person who had been secretly photographed breathed a sigh of relief: "It's an honor!"

……

The Divine Space of the Sea Realm.

With Da Chun's continuous mechanical adjustments, Didis's excited humming in response, and the added boost from this unknown golden key, Da Chun's privilege value has completely turned a profit and continues to grow!
Da Chun can already look forward to victory.

Just then, Zhou Qing's phone received a text message: "Brother Chun, the gang elders and mentors have returned to the Black Iron City Tavern. The mentors issued a mission to the gang members who stayed behind, asking them to find a marker throughout the city. The members didn't quite understand it, but they did it anyway. What do you think, Brother Chun?"

Da Chun looked at the mission image that had been sent to him. The markings looked familiar. Wasn't this the same thief's code that covered the walls when the Bat Lord passed by in the sewers of the desert ruins?
Is this mentor really Libnashi in disguise?

But I won't dwell on that. Let me explain anyway: "Mr. Zhou, this is a communication code for some kind of thieves' guild. It's a short language. If the brothers pay attention, they might even be able to trigger language comprehension."

Zhou Qing was surprised: "I see. Actually, we saw this when we played the old version, and we thought it was a scratch or background. So what is the mentor's purpose in hiring the thief?"

Da Chun was stumped by the question: "I suggest we search in the sewers, it might be a bit dangerous, but the results should be greater than on the surface."

"Understood. It'll be too difficult for these remaining team members to go down into the sewers. We'll try to arrange for some high-level players to escort them down to search..."
