Peace Restored

"So it's President Ten Thousand Miles. What's the purpose of this grand display...?" Old Wang asked knowingly after hearing the other party's identity.

"My friend might have had some misunderstandings with you, brother. I brought him here to apologize, and also to thank you for your leniency this time!" Yang Wanli said with a smile to Old Wang.

"President Yang, you've got the wrong person. What misunderstanding is there between us? Brother Wei still wants to buy our distribution channels!" Wang Qianduo said.

This guy isn't simple-minded. He set a trap for him right from the start. If he accepts this apology, it's tantamount to admitting that he tricked Wei Hua.

This kind of thing can't be brought up publicly, otherwise even if you're right, you'll become wrong.

"Brother, that's gone too far! Even if he's offended us in some way, at least let him die knowing why, right?"

Yang Wanli looked at him and said calmly, while the members of the Ten Thousand Miles Guild behind him took a step forward.

"What you're saying makes me even more confused. Ten Thousand Miles is a major guild; they can't possibly frame someone like that!"

Old Wang's tone softened, and Lin Qimeng and the others came to his side.

"Haha, wrong person, sorry! Sorry!"

"I've had too many worries lately. By the way, Brother Thousand King, have you been having any troubles lately?" Yang Wanli asked with a laugh.

His words were tantamount to admitting defeat.

But he had to admit it, because he clearly saw a group of NPCs walk towards them after seeing Wang Qianduo.

"Troublesome things? There really are! Last time I was on a mission on Demon Rat Star, I was shot by some bastard from a distance."

My health was low at the time, and that shot almost took me out. In desperation, I used a Legendary consumable to fully restore my health.

If it weren't for that trump card, my mission would have failed. You know, it almost ruined my chances...

Forget it, just hope I don't find that bastard. If I do, well...

Since Yang Wanli offered a way out, Old Wang accepted it.

At this stage, leveling up is still the most important thing for him. Although he's not afraid of him, there's really no need to fight to the death.

Upon hearing his words, Yang Wanli and the others immediately thought of the special Mecha that Wei Hua had mentioned some time ago, which could instantly restore health to full.

No wonder the other party did this to him. If this kind of Potion were used on Level 30 Mechs for its third evolution, the chances of breaking through would increase by at least 3%.

Moreover, the task that the other party is trying to protect using this kind of Potion must not be an easy one.

If it were him, he wouldn't let the person who ambushed him get away either, especially since this idiot delivered himself right to their doorstep and even used the Ten Thousand Miles Guild to show off.

This is because the other side had a trump card that allowed them to keep the mission. If they hadn't had a trump card and lost the mission, he estimated that they wouldn't have been able to get Wei Hua out today.

Seriously, it's no wonder this idiot got played to death.

"I..."

What are you all doing gathered here?

Just as Yang Wanli was about to say something after learning the whole story, he was interrupted by a loud shout from behind.

The person who arrived was not Player, but an NPC, namely Chi Xu, the patrol officer of the Homeworld Base. This was the person Yang Wanli saw.

"No, sir. We're just catching up," Yang Wanli said with a smile.

But the NPC's next words made him lose his smile, because Chi Xu looked at Wang Qianduo and asked:

"Catch up? Brother Thousand King, are these recruits your friends? If they're here to cause trouble, locking them up for three to five days won't break any rules!"

Old Wang had only recently learned Chi Xu's true identity. He was one of the leading figures of the younger generation of Neutral Faction, which was why he was directly assigned to General Huang's subordinates.

Don't underestimate him just because he's a lowly patrol officer; the number of people in the entire Homeworld Base who dare to offend him can be counted on one hand.

He wielded far more power than the Quartermaster was on good terms with Wang Qianduo.

But this guy is too rule-abiding; he wouldn't do something like lending Old Wang Projection Device like the Quartermaster would.

Although Old Wang was on good terms with him, he never asked him to do personal favors.

Chi Xu's words made the Ten Thousand Miles Guild members lose their composure, as they were all key figures from Ten Thousand Miles who had come today.

The event is in a few days, and if the Ten Thousand Miles Guild members are locked up and miss the event, it will be a fatal blow to their guild.

However, Old Wang was reasonable. He didn't have any deep-seated hatred for the Ten Thousand Miles Guild, so they wouldn't go to such extremes.

"Thank you, Brother Chi. These are my friends, so there's no need to lock them up," Wang Qianduo said with a smile.

"We're friends!" Chi Xu.

"To friends, friends!" Ten Thousand Miles and his entourage.

"Alright, I'll continue my patrol then. I won't disturb your reunion any longer!" Chi Xu said before leaving.

"Then we won't bother you, brother, let's add each other as friends!" Yang Wanli.

Ten Thousand Miles Wanli and Wang Qianduo had no face to stay any longer, so after Chi Xu left, Yang Wanli and Wang Qianduo exchanged friends and then he also left.

The incident has finally subsided, and only Wei Hua was hurt.

But who can be blamed for this? If you're greedy, you have to bear the consequences, right?

As I always say, if you're wrong, admit it; if you're going to be punished, stand up straight!

However, judging from the sinister look in his eyes as he left, he clearly didn't want to stand at attention!

"We were too hasty this time. I didn't expect those two to be so ruthless!" Wang Qianduo said, watching the departing figures of the Ten Thousand Miles Guild members.

"What? Are you afraid of his retaliation?" Lin Qimeng asked suspiciously.

"I'm not afraid of him, but... (it's a bit of a shame he wasn't killed)."

Wang Qianduo didn't say anything more. He smiled at Lin Qimeng and then quickly left!

"But what? You know how annoying it is when you only say half of what you mean?" Lin Qimeng caught up with him and said.

"Have no idea!"

~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Ten Thousand Miles's men returned to the guild and began studying Wang Qianduo overnight.

The NPCs in this game wield immense power, a fact known to all the major guilds, which is why they've been trying to cultivate relationships with them.

However, throughout the entire game, the only place they successfully conquered was Fairy City, which had previously been in terrible condition.

However, a piece of intelligence from Wang Qianduo last time essentially wiped out all the efforts of these major guilds overnight.

Of all the NPCs they bribed, only a few remain.

But that was also an opportunity; otherwise, someone like Officer Zhang might never have risen to that position in his entire life.

"Judging from this incident, this person's prestige among the NPCs is far more astonishing than we imagined."

"Especially since the patrol officer actually took the initiative to help him, there must be some key factor behind this!" Wanli Mingyue analyzed.

"The key factor should be that he broke through from being a recruit to becoming a military officer," Yang Wanli said.

"How did you know? I was already quite suspicious that you knew their location. How did you know this time? Are you playing the spy game again?" Wanli Mingyue asked.

"With such a frenzied recruitment drive, wouldn't they be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't send a few spies?" Yang Wanli Mountains and Seas.

"That's true, but in that case, we need to focus on conquering the official rank system next."

"We must find a way to break through the new recruits at all costs. I feel this is the key to our breakthrough to level 30," Wanli Mingyue.

"Yes!"

"What about Hua Zi?"

"This..." Wanli Mingyue hesitated, as it was not appropriate for her, as the one in charge, to give advice on this matter.

"Let's put it aside for now and settle the matter later," said Yang Wanli, who was sitting there.

He didn't actually want any conflict with Wang Qianduo; the man was just too strange.

He must be a newcomer to the game; to have developed to this level in such a short time, he must have extraordinary abilities.

This kind of person is actually better suited to be a friend than an enemy.

This disappointing person has already offended someone, and things have become quite unpleasant between the two sides.

But in Yang Wanli's mind, Wei Hua's weight was still less than Wang Qianduo's.

However, in order not to demoralize his subordinates, he could only suppress the matter for the time being and reconsider it later.

The members of the Ten Thousand Miles Guild didn't seem surprised by his answer; it was indeed Wei Hua's carelessness that caused this incident.

Wei Hua was the only one injured at the scene; having become the clown, he chose to keep these things to himself.

While Ten Thousand Miles was studying Wang Qianduo, the others who had obtained information about the Secret Realm from Fatty You were also investigating the reliability of Fatty You's information.

Is it possible that the monsters in the Secret Realm cannot be attacked? How do they obtain materials if they don't kill monsters?

"It'll be over soon enough; there will definitely be Player don't know about this and will make their move!"

"Feasible!"
