All my teammates online are my girlfriends

A few seconds later, a patrol team dressed in black thief's clothes suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

And unexpectedly, one of the people in the group was the very same knight who had resigned from the Knights Order they had seen!

Compared to the regular patrol teams in the city, they were undoubtedly much more relaxed, chatting along the way with excited expressions on their faces.

"New guy, it should be your turn tonight, right? I'm so envious."

"Hehe, all the newcomers will receive rewards from the leader. If you want to continue, you'll have to make contributions later."

"Isn't this a quick attack on Shutrinia? There will be plenty of opportunities."

"That's not necessarily true. The city lord is about to surrender."

......

As the fish-stealing cat listened to their conversation, his eyelids twitched violently. Sure enough, the city lord wasn't a decent person either!

It's a miracle that your city has survived this long!

Should we take action?

The fish-stealing cat made a gesture towards Lin Qiu, who was perched in a nearby tree.

Lin Qiu shook his head and chose to remain still. If a patrol team disappeared, the main camp would definitely find out.

Besides, we're here as undercover agents, we can't do something that would easily expose us!

Before he could say anything, Qingyuan suddenly leaped down and landed right in front of them.

His sudden appearance startled everyone. The previously relaxed patrol team tensed up to the extreme, drawing their weapons and staring fiercely at him.

"who!!"

"My name is Qingyuan. I came here from Shutlina. I hope you can do me a favor."

The patrol members looked at each other, and when they heard that they had come to seek refuge, their expressions softened slightly, but they still did not let their guard down.

The leader, still uneasy, asked again—

"Why have you come seeking refuge here?"

"I heard that the leader is... really big, and likes to step on people's faces with black stockings, so I couldn't wait to come over."

"Oh, it's one of our own. Then it's alright."

Hearing that unmistakably honest answer, a knowing smile immediately appeared on their faces.

038-You get into character pretty quickly!

"These three came with me. They have admired the leader ever since they learned of his existence."

"That's right, that's right, we've long wanted to see that magnificent bosom, and then be stepped on by those alluring black-stockinged jade feet! That delicate, silky feeling on our faces, and then gradually moving downwards..."

Adventurer, could you please refrain from speaking your mind?

The cat who stole the fish glanced at Lin Qiu, who had an excited expression, and said, "Do you really like to talk nonsense?"

However, Lin Qiu's words were clearly very effective with the patrol team, and they all showed expressions of understanding.

Who wouldn't want that!

"This brother is clearly an expert! Alright, we're almost done patrolling here, so come back with us. Newcomers to our organization are always taken care of by the leader!"

The squad leader, quite naturally, put his arm around Lin Qiu's shoulder and said with a smile.

When mentioning taking care of them, he emphasized his words, as if afraid they wouldn't understand the meaning behind it.

"Then I definitely have to see it for myself!"

"..."

The three people traveling with him watched Lin Qiu's figure with subtle expressions, unsure whether he was genuinely showing his emotions or simply too immersed in the role.

I feel like it's a shame this guy isn't a professional undercover agent!

"Alright brothers, let's get ready to head back to the village!"

"Oh!!"

Upon hearing the news of returning to the mountain stronghold, everyone cheered and happily put away their weapons, heading south.

The squad leader, however, seemed to get along quite well with Lin Qiu and walked with him, talking to him along the way.

As for Qingyuan and the others following behind, they were already wondering if Lin Qiu was the only one who could make such a splash on this mission.

Do you think he's telling the truth or lying?

"Is it fake? He just said he liked being witty, but he suddenly changed his mind. It's probably just an act."

"But why does he look so excited?"

"Maybe it's just a craving?"

"Yeah, it's normal to be a little attracted to NPCs since I've never had a girlfriend..."

Listening to the conversation between the fish-stealing cat and the fermented rice balls, even Qing Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Isn't your focus a little strange?

We're on an undercover mission right now, so can we stop worrying about whether that guy likes big or small?

Sensing Qingyuan's unusual gaze, the two coughed and stopped the conversation.

The patrol team's defensive line was quite far from the stronghold. The group walked for a considerable time, winding their way through the area and even encountering other members of the bandit gang stationed there, before finally seeing the full picture of the stronghold.

Its scale was beyond imitation; its luxurious and elegant design resembled a resort estate built with the utmost effort by a wealthy person, comparable to the city lord's mansion in Shutlina.

The number of guards at the gate was comparable to a small army; although they appeared disorganized, each one of them exuded a fierce aura.

A flash of clear blue light passed through Lin Qiu's eyes. With just a cursory glance, he was able to clearly see the level information of the guards.

Their levels were almost all around the same level as the frontline members of the strategy group, with the worst being level 8 and the highest reaching level 11, the same as themselves!

Turning back to look at the fish-stealing cat, he also realized the seriousness of the situation. With this kind of mission configuration, brute force was completely ineffective; the only way to pass was through infiltration and murder.

Otherwise, if these people swarm in, they will definitely die a horrible death!

"Hey, Lao Luo's back! What's with these unfamiliar faces?"

As soon as the group approached, a middle-aged man guarding the door greeted them.

The man referred to as Lao Luo was the squad leader walking with Lin Qiu. Upon seeing a familiar face, his smile deepened considerably.

"We came together to join the leader."

"Wow - this is the nineteenth batch today. The leader's popularity is really high."

Old Luo, the gatekeeper, was not surprised at all that Lin Qiu and the others had come to join them.

As for whether it was an undercover agent sent to assassinate him, I'm even less worried.

Putting aside the fact that the leader's power far surpasses theirs, who would be willing to kill a busty, beautiful woman who likes to wear black stockings?!

"Hehe, at the current pace, it's fast. Once we have enough people, we'll immediately attack Shutlinia, and the leader will become the city lord. The next step is to unify the surrounding city-states and become the empress."

Wow, this leader has quite the ambition.

Listening to their conversation, Lin Qiu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Alright, go in. The leader has been in a good mood lately. If he takes a fancy to someone, he might just have a chance to summon her to his bedchamber."

Old Luo joked, his gaze fixed firmly on Qingyuan at the very back of the group.

Although the leader likes to step on people with black stockings, he is quite picky about those close to him, and he hasn't taken a liking to any of the women who wanted to serve him in bed.

But this time the conditions seem pretty good.

Just look at his appearance! Even with makeup, he's more beautiful than any woman. He's definitely the leader's type! If he's in a good mood, he might even reward his subordinates!

I don't ask for anything else, just to stomp on my body a few more times with less force!

Qingyuan felt uneasy under the gaze, instinctively sensing an ominous aura.

"We'll head over now, we'll get together for a drink later."

"Okay!"

After waving goodbye to Lao Luo, Lao Luo continued to lead Lin Qiu and the others inside.

The entire mountain stronghold is well-planned, with lights shining brightly, giving it the feel of a small city that never sleeps.

Surprisingly, compared to the outer guard forces, the residents moving around the stronghold were mostly ordinary people, making it feel like a typical aristocratic resort.

Scanning the levels of the people around them, Fish Thief Cat and Fermented Rice Balls breathed a slight sigh of relief. If everyone inside was of this level, it would be much easier to move around.

When they arrived at the tallest building in the center, they were immediately stunned by the luxurious and comfortable building. The exquisite decoration was even more than that of the Knight's Hall built with Lin Qiu's donation!

After dismissing the rest of the team, Lao Luo greeted them with a smile—

"This is the chief's residence. Unless it's to welcome newcomers, no one is allowed to enter without orders. You're in luck today."

"Does she live alone?!"

"Of course, the leader has considered finding someone to serve him in bed, but he hasn't been interested in any of them. Young Brother Qingyuan could give it a try. If he succeeds, he'll rise to great heights."

Faced with Lao Luo's envious teasing, Qing Yuan realized why the gatekeeper's gaze had been so strange earlier.

His eyes twitched, and he managed to force a smile.

That would be ideal, so I could easily approach and take care of them! I don't want to stay in places where these big-breasted women are!

039 - Someone always has to make the sacrifice.

"When you meet the leader, be respectful. She will arrange accommodations for you."

"Now is the time when we need people. If you perform well, you might even become the leader's confidants."

......

As Lao Luo led Lin Qiu and the others upstairs, he carefully gave them instructions.

If these guys behave well and win the leader's favor, they can also get extra rewards!

Lin Qiu and the others nodded silently, not saying much, their eyes taking in the surroundings with great interest.

The interior decoration and furnishings were quite luxurious, taking the enjoyment to the extreme, which made Lin Qiu a little envious.

I'll make an even better one next time!

When Lao Luo led them to the stairwell near the top floor, he stopped there.

"I won't see you upstairs. Remember to behave yourself."

After giving his final words of advice, Lao Luo also chose to leave.

Although I wanted to see the leader again, the new recruits could only go this far. If I went up without permission, I wouldn't get to experience the black stockings stepping on my face!

Watching Lao Luo leave, before Lin Qiu could even go upstairs, the fish-stealing cat grabbed him and asked in a low voice—

"Should we take action immediately later?"

"This isn't a good idea. The level here is too high, and that leader's level is even higher than theirs. If we don't kill them instantly, those people will swarm us, and we won't be able to escape."

Lin Qiu shook his head. Although there was Qing Yuan, who was at the peak of her combat power, his skills could indeed make up for the level difference.

But it's impossible to instantly kill the boss!

However, Qingyuan's expression was somewhat uncertain, filled with a sense of foreboding.

If the leader really does choose who to sleep with, that would be the most agonizing thing!

Before she could say anything, the fish-stealing cat's voice drifted over—

"Qingyuan, at times like this, I'll have to make a small sacrifice for you."

"Um?!"

"Try to make that female leader fall for you, make her choose you to sleep with you, and once you have enough trust, lure her out so we can kill her together!"

The fish-stealing cat made a beheading gesture and looked at Qingyuan with great anticipation.

In terms of looks, you're the best here; in terms of combat power, you're number one. This undercover mission is perfect for you!

Qingyuan's lips twitched. Why did she have to do such a thing! In this situation, it would have been more exciting to just kill the female leader under pressure and then escape.

"Alright, let's play it by ear. Don't linger here too long, or the leader will become suspicious."
