Call to Action

Mu Le Na Hu En.

The organizers of the Seventh Stage are issuing a call to action to the entire city!

If I get involved, I might be able to use this opportunity to more easily find the Life Secret Realm in the forest, as well as the other two herbs.

This will greatly speed up the healing process! I should prepare accordingly.

They also joined the operation.

Upon hearing Mu Le Na Hu En's speech, Linsey immediately had some ideas and even began to plan his next steps.

The Plant Shop's house can be taken away at any time.

If you're brave enough, you can pack up your house now and become one of the first explorers to enter the forest.

Seize the opportunity before everyone else!

"..."

"Mr. Linsey, this is a call to action issued by the city lord!"

The same goes for Luo Shanna, who was in Linsey's arms.

The girl let go of Linsey in front of her, said goodbye softly, and then turned and ran home in the heavy rain.

Through the shop window.

Linsey saw Luo Shanna easily knock on the door and be welcomed into the house by her excited father.

Not having brought the keys and no one being home were clearly just excuses.

"Nobody's home, I didn't bring my keys..."

Linsey originally wanted to complain a bit more.

But then he realized what had just happened and the strange things about himself.

Everything is only logically twisted and cannot withstand any scrutiny! "That's not right!"

"My thoughts have been disrupted?"

What about the Phoenix Grass we were planning to buy? And what about the business with Ailini?

Linsey's pupils contracted.

The image of Luo Shanna leaving in a hurry just now also came to mind.

This girl came to seduce him, but suddenly she gave up halfway and turned back home to discuss exploring the forest? What a joke! For an ordinary person without awakened skills, this behavior is simply outrageous! "Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Linsey shook her head, her thoughts gradually freeing themselves from the influence of external forces.

Everything that had just happened gradually became clearer.

The power of an organizer comes from those they govern, and they also have the ability to influence those people.

The speech just now seemed to be a call to action.

In reality, it was the organizer Mu Le Na Hu En, who used his power in the name of the city lord to incite the hearts and minds of the entire city!

"What is the purpose of this behavior?"

"Has he gone mad?"

Linsey sat in the front of the shop.

The clearer he thought about it, the more confused he became about how things were unfolding.

An organizer's ability is based on their ability to organize people, Mu Le Na Hu En should not act in this way.

Why would a normally awakened person cripple themselves? Clatter—clatter—

Time slips away quietly, while the wind and rain continue outside.

But Linsey's exceptional hearing allowed her to detect the sounds of horses' hooves and wheels mixed together in the rain.

The sound grew louder and louder as it approached.

"People still race cars on the streets in the rain?"

"You've got a death wish?"

Linsey casually pulled up a map; a green marker was rapidly approaching his residence.

"..."

"Why did you have to come at this time?"

Linsey opened the shop door, and the wind and rain immediately lashed his face.

He turned to the side and saw a figure driving a carriage, indeed hurrying towards him from the distant street.

"Ailini, what brings you here?"

The young merchant stopped her carriage in the pouring rain.

She jumped down and rushed into the house, splashing rainwater all over the floor from her trousers. But Ailini didn't care at all, turning to Linsey anxiously and asking:

"Linsey, how are you?"

"You must have heard what the city lord said just now, right?"

Linsey nodded:

"It must be the organizer's ability to influence the entire city. Are you alright?"

Linsey heard that she had sensed the organizer's power and was freeing herself from its influence.

Ailini immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course I'm fine!"

"I was just discussing business. The Chamber of Commerce has basic strategic defenses, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Linsey noticed something. "We were talking business, why did you rush over so quickly?"

Ailini's expression froze for a moment. Her rain-soaked cheeks were flushed, making her look both disheveled and somewhat adorable.

But the young woman, being a businesswoman, quickly regained her composure and replied confidently, "I'm worried that if you leave, my supply of goods will be gone!"

"This business is booming right now, I can't accept it just disappearing before my eyes!"

That's what they're saying.

Ailini went out of the shop again and, braving the heavy rain, reached out and grabbed a handful from the carriage at the entrance.

The truck used for hauling goods was newly purchased, and so were the horses.

Even the goods inside are new.

Ailini was so busy asking about Linsey's condition that she forgot what was inside.

The storage space for the goods was relocated.

The girl then braced her hands above her head and rushed back through the rain.

This time, we returned indoors.

With a single wave of her hand, Ailini transferred a large pile of silk scrolls from the merchant space to Linsey's table:

"Take a look, these are the new materials I prepared for you."

Linsey picked up a volume to examine it.

[Material: Emerald Leaf Silk]

[The threads made from Emerald Wood fiber have good waterproof properties; they can be used as materials to make other props.]

High-quality plant materials at a reasonable price.

Although the quality of the Emerald Leaf Silk is not as good as that of the Phantasmal Light Silk.

However, it is considered a good material and is a popular product that Courtyard in the Forest is developing.

Linsey looked up at the girl in front of her. "Why are you changing materials? These things aren't cheap."

"Because I'm smart enough!" Ailini poked her head. "If Mu Le Na Hu En makes a call, even if people realize it's due to the influence of skills, there will definitely be a lot of people who will respond."

"When the environment changes from inside the city to outside the city, the requirements for stockings will not only be aesthetics, but also quality."

"These Emerald Leaf Silk are of high quality; they can be made into stockings to handle outdoor activities, and we can earn even more money then!"

"..."

Linsey's expression was somewhat complicated.

Mu Le Na Hu En's call for action did not last long.

The Ailini leaves Emerald Leaf Silk that Elena had were definitely not prepared in advance.

In other words, Ailini not only came here out of concern to check on her own situation, but also thought of business opportunities on the way and bought these materials on the spur of the moment.

He gazed at the young merchant girl whose face was covered in rain.

Linsey felt both helpless towards the businessman and touched by her friend, and in the end, she handed him the towel from her bag.

"So you really are here to talk business!"

Ailini took the towel.

She first dried her hair, then wiped her face clean, and replied confidently:

"Otherwise what?"

"Even if I care about you, I can't just come here without doing any business, can I?"

During the dialogue.

Linsey tried placing the Emerald Leaf Silk on the Workbench.

This material is indeed not High-Grade Silk Thread, but it can still be made into stockings.

"The materials are fine."

"If you need it urgently, just wait a moment, I'll get it to you as soon as I've finished processing it."

Ailini had no objection to getting the goods as soon as possible. "Then hurry up, I'll wait for you here."

Linsey consumed her Essence to begin synthesizing stockings.

At the same time, he asked the girl in front of him:

"By the way, do you know Mu Le Na Hu En's purpose?"

"I've never heard of an organizer trying to drive his own people out of the country."

"Well--"

Upon hearing this question, Ailini first sighed.

She looked at the continuous rain falling outside the shop window, and then said slowly:

"This is just my personal opinion."

"Our esteemed city lord may not be planning to stay here any longer!"

"Huh?" Linsey had never expected this outcome.

Ailini's explanation opened his mind, and all sorts of speculations came to mind at once.

"..."

The young businesswoman shrugged indifferently.

While Linsey was thinking, she took off her shoes, poured out the water, and rubbed her toes, which were encased in stockings, back and forth, feeling very uncomfortable.

As a business owner and promoter, she naturally wore stockings as well.

And it was the one Linsey made with Phantasmal Light Silk.

Even with top-quality materials, it's still very uncomfortable once soaked in rainwater.

This is also why she chose waterproof Emerald Leaf Silk as the new material for this project.

Looking at the rising fire beside her, Ailini moved her chair closer before continuing her explanation:

"Although he himself did not come forward."

"But according to rumors, Mu Le Na Hu En's injuries have not fully healed. This time, he is probably using his ability to incite the whole city to help him find something."

Linsey frowned and said:

"But this is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

Ailini pointed to the distant sky outside the shop window. "The problem is that the abnormal activity in the forest is becoming more and more frequent, far exceeding the normal range."

"Whether they are awakened or ordinary people, there is a consensus on this phenomenon— the Courtyard in the Forest is gradually becoming dangerous."

At this point, Linsey had also opened up her mind.

The Courtyard in the Forest is a world connected to the outside world, unlike the completely sealed-off Hidden Borderlands.

Every individual, whether an awakened being or an ordinary person.

There is always room for choice.

"Therefore, Mu Le Na Hu En's actions were merely an experiment."

"If someone finds what he needs to heal his injuries when his ability is activated, then a fully healed Seventh Stage powerhouse can continue to manage the city, and the number of people coming to settle there will eventually increase."

Ailini nodded, and continued Linsey's words:

"But what if the injury ultimately fails to heal?"

"The problems in the forest are getting worse and worse. Even Seventh Stage powerhouse cannot fight against the entire world."
