Chapter 679

679 drawing fire to oneself

the light in li wei’s eyes grew even brighter as a complete plan began to form in his mind.

By pinning the crime of hiding a fugitive on the village chief and Cecil, no one in the entire village would be his match. At the same time, if he made a contribution to the guard station, he could take the opportunity to arrange for his village to go down the mountain, far away from this remote mountain and come into contact with the outside world.

” damn old man, if you were a little more fair, i wouldn’t have done this. you forced me! ”

The lackeys around him were not shocked when they heard of Li Wei’s plan. Instead, they were overjoyed.

“I’ve long found that old man to be an eyesore. The selection for the new village chief hasn’t even started yet, but this old man is already so biased towards Cecil. Today, he even ridiculed the boss in front of everyone, not giving the boss any face at all. He doesn’t even care about the most basic fairness and justice, supporting the boss’s report and letting the guard station arrest the old man and Cecil!”

“They always talk about democracy, but now, we just want to lead the village down the mountain to better development, and they actually forbid us from mentioning it again. Just because the previous King was brutal doesn’t mean the new king is the same.”

“Once the old man and Cecil are captured, you’ll be the well-deserved village chief. At that time, the few of us can also follow you and live a good life.”

As if he was thinking of the future when he became the village chief, or even the future when he was appreciated by the guards and took on more important tasks, a wicked smile appeared on his face. “Don’t worry, once I become the village chief, you’ll get your share of the benefits!”

“we have to keep this matter a secret from everyone, so i need to arrange for two smart people to follow me down the mountain to inform the guards. the people who stay behind will lie to the village and say that we went into the mountains to hunt. At this time, I won’t come out for at least ten days to half a month. Even if they suspect me, they’ll at most think that I’m in a bad mood and went hunting to vent my anger. They’ll never think that I’ll go down the mountain for a stroll.”

That night, lewre packed up his luggage and chose two of his more clever underlings to go down the mountain with him.

He had been very familiar with the road conditions around the village for many years.After a night’s journey, when the sun was rising, lewre and the two lackeys finally walked down the mountain, passed through the jungle, and saw a guard post on the plain.

At the same time, the players also came online and woke up, ready to start a new day of work.

“Now, they’ve started to believe us. At the same time, some of the villagers have begun to believe in the tyrant and the cult. Our focus today is to make friends and instill in them the king’s brutality and the cult’s inhumane way of living sacrifices.”

The players started a new day of work. Cecil and a few of his young men came to the yard and told them that their job today was to help pick Indigo potatoes.

Cecil saw that there were at least one or two Indigo sweet potatoes in the yard that had been distributed to them yesterday, and the rest were untouched. The suspicion raised by Li Wei last night had been lingering in his mind, but it was greatly reduced after seeing this scene. This group of people were indeed collecting food, so there was a high probability that they were really refugees.

as for hiding his physical strength, it was likely that he had a grudge against this unknown village.

“today, your food is set according to your labor. you can get three indigo sweet potatoes if you help to pick one mu of land.”

As soon as he said that, the players ‘eyes lit up, and some even exclaimed, ” “Really? You’re not lying to us?”

Seeing this, Cecil was even more certain of his guess, and immediately nodded. “yes, the village chief personally gave the order. How much food you can get today will depend on your workload.”

wind-chasing wolf rolled up his sleeves, and the others also showed their ecstasy.

There were not many opportunities to obtain Indigo potatoes openly. To be able to gain the trust of the villagers and obtain the resources of Indigo potatoes to recover energy, this wave of players was killing two birds with one stone, a win-win situation!

Cecil’s good impression of them doubled. From his observations over the past two days, whenever the reward of Indigo potatoes was mentioned, their expressions would change uncontrollably, and they felt even more excited than the main characters.

If they had the strength, they would work quickly. They didn’t have high requirements as long as they could eat, and they weren’t picky.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were refugees who were temporarily staying, Cecil would have thought of taking them into the village.

In the beginning, the older generation fled to build the village. After more than 30 years of closed development, there were not many young labor forces in the village. Moreover, there was no new blood for a long time, so the future development of the village became a big problem. Cecil had been trying to find a solution, and these people were as hardworking and pragmatic as their ancestors decades ago.

As soon as this idea came into being, it couldn’t be stopped from growing in Cecil’s heart.

“maybe we can really observe them. anyway, they’re going to continue fleeing to the west, so it’s more stable for them to stay here. I’ll tell the village chief about this idea in two days and ask for his opinion, Yingying.”

The players had landed on planet slywin for more than a day. Link sat in the mechanical fortress and looked at the continuous stream of information being uploaded. He was both amused and surprised.

The fun was those who stayed in place and waited for the enemy to come after landing. They wanted to hitch a ride, but they were directly captured by the guards and directly became prisoners.

Of course, link didn’t receive this message through the communication device. He saw it on the forum.

as the players had been captured, there was no way to use the signal device to report the situation, so they could only enter the forum to post their experiences. this suffocating operation happened to be seen by link, and he covered his face to hold back his laughter for a long time.

Link could only say that it was a good idea and good courage!

Reports from the other communication devices came in one after another. Link saw that Leng Feng was leading the northern desert wolves to get straight to the point. However, this was different from waiting for the guards to send them to the capital. Leng Feng had a very strict plan. In addition, they had already gained a thorough understanding of the situation on planet slywin in just over a day.

Of all the players who had uploaded the information, Leng Feng’s report was the most concise and accurate. At the same time, his background check was the most complete. He could be considered the standard template. In contrast, the other players ‘action reports were like a little bit of a running account essay, plain and straightforward, with a lot of nonsense.

After that, link checked the other people’s reports. They were almost the same. They all wanted to avoid the natives and approach the capital at night to find an opportunity to kill the tyrant.

The plan was simple and crude. Each of them regarded themselves as the protagonists and wanted to fight against ten thousand people alone or enter the Imperial City alone to take their heads with light swords.

Compared to the others, link was more concerned about wind’s plan.

Wind-chasing Wolf went in the opposite direction of the others. The others directly went to the eastern capital to cause trouble, but wind-chasing Wolf actually “settled down” on the Western plateau and began to work for the villagers. He even exchanged for Indigo potatoes as food.

from wind’s report, link had a rough idea of his plan. This guy wanted to gain the trust of the village and then spread the idea so that the ignorant people would be awakened.Using this village as their base, they began to spread their ideas to other villages on the plateau, in order to achieve the idea of ” the rural areas surrounding the city.

link could only give wind’s plan a thumbs up. this guy’s path had widened.

But at the same time, link was puzzled. Would pure propaganda work? after all, the villages on the plateau were out of touch with the news, and the terrifying wind of the tyrant had not yet reached the top of the mountain. Without high pressure, the influence of spreading ideas would be greatly reduced.

Because of wind’s success in his previous life, link was even more curious about what would happen next to turn the situation around.

After reading the information, Helen, who was on the pirate ship, contacted link.

head of state, Leng Feng is taking the lead right now ~ whether it’s the investigation of slyven or the planning steps, everything is very comprehensive. On the other hand, although wind’s idea of taking root is good, this kind of dissemination of ideas lacks an external force. It’s very difficult to achieve any effect with just ordinary propaganda. Helen’s analysis of Leng Feng and wind-chasing Wolf was very thorough. If things continued like this, she would even dare to announce Leng Feng’s early victory.

Link’s expression didn’t change at all. He pretended to be profound and said,”It’s okay, just continue to watch.

Link didn’t have a deep impression of slywin before. The only familiar name he had was wind. After all, a player could complete the planet’s main storyline mission and become the Liberator unanimously elected by the NPCs of the entire planet. His reputation and popularity would reach their peak. Even the miracle Guild was unimpeded on planet slywin and received preferential treatment. With an entire planet’s resources, the miracle Guild quickly completed a counterattack and became one of the top ten guilds that could challenge traveling Dragon. They even surpassed him in the later versions.

however, according to the actions and information reported by the players, link had a more specific understanding of planet slywin. he felt that it was a wise decision to send the players to solve the planet’s problem.

There was a special type of purple crystal ore on slyven, which the locals called violet stone. Because violet stones were rich in reserves and contained rich energy, the history of slyven was the history of the use and transformation of violet stones. Whether it was weapons, equipment, or energy, violet stones were everywhere.

These energy-rich minerals were good stuff to link.

All the new energy facilities on wasteland planet were powered by the Kates ore. However, Kaz ore was formed by meteorites from outer space, and only the death quagmire had it. Moreover, after the Lin family financial group’s mining, there was not much left, and most of it was used as an energy material in the mechanical fortress.

Now that he had found violet stones, both the reserves and the energy contained in them were better than that of Kates ore. It could be said that it had solved a big problem for link.

Next was the Indigo sweet potato.

this kind of food that was spread all over slyven, perhaps affected by the energy of the violet stones underground, had a purple skin and flesh. at the same time, eating it could also restore energy. it was the best match for the fragrant pig feast. one restored health points, and the other restored energy.

Putting the other resources aside, just the two resources reported so far made link very satisfied with the plan to save slywin.

“By the way, have you found the signal source from before?”

Helen shook her head helplessly. ever since we received the last distress signal and came to planet slywin, I’ve been waiting for another signal. But that signal was like a stone sinking into the sea. It never came out again.

helen expressed her regret. to be honest, she wanted to get to know the person who sent the signal.

“It’s fine. Since the king is cruel and unkind, forcing the people to send radio waves to the universe for help, such a message will definitely be sent more than once. it just so happens to be in low-earth orbit, so you and troy can scan the radio waves of the entire planet slywin to find any similar radio wave frequency.” Link was just as curious about the person who had sent the radio waves. Because according to the information he had obtained, the violet stone technique was a crucial factor in planet slywin’s evolution. Almost all science and magic were derived from violet stones. Mechanical waves like radio waves should not appear here at all.

To be able to create a radio wave transmitter based on the violet stone system, one could definitely be considered an anomaly on slyven.

One day later, the first group of players failed to sneak into the capital to assassinate the king and were killed on the spot. Tyrant was furious. He mobilized the guards to protect the city. At the same time, the assassination was like pressing a fast forward button. Tyrant urged the church of the blood to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony. He couldn’t wait to live forever and get rid of the shackles of his aging body and the threat of assassination.

After interrogating the players who were escorted here, they found out that the ominous fire meteor that night was the work of this group of Inhumans. And this group of Inhumans only had one goal in coming to slywin, and that was to kill him and overturn the tyranny.

“Relay my orders! Search for all suspicious people in the city and capture more people and slaves. It is the honor of my people to make a contribution to my immortality, and they should not refuse this honor and gift.”

For a time, the coastal area was in a state of panic. The other teams of players who had been prepared to assassinate him had lost their chance. one by one, they vented their anger on the teams that had failed to assassinate them. They were to blame for messing up the plans of the others.

All the news was seen by wind-chasing Wolf who was following the forum. He couldn’t help but smile, ” “Brothers, the assassination failed. The tyrant has strengthened its defense! Our chance is here!”

The other players were stunned for a moment before becoming ecstatic.

What they were most afraid of was a strong player with excellent cooperation who could successfully assassinate them. If they succeeded, then what they had been doing at the back would be for nothing.

Leng Feng,”you might as well just say my name!”

on this day, while the players were busy working in the fields with cecil, the crisp sound of armor being put on suddenly came from the distance, and then the guards appeared outside the village in an aggressive manner.

The official’s family had not come to the village for 30 years. This time, they came in a menacing manner without any warning.

Cecil glanced at Li Wei, who was beside him, and asked nervously, ” “what do we do now?”

“Quickly go and call the village chief!”

as soon as cecil left, lewei looked at the man with a meaningful smile.

It’s finally here!
