Fortunately, [ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ] was a master of using vines and captured the two potentially innocent nuns with almost no physical harm.
The two men have now been placed into a wooden box with holes punched in it.
Tomorrow morning, the carpenter, in the Incarnation [ Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ], will come to the church door and take away the wooden crate. Everything will seem so natural, except that the rats have been a little too active lately...
The two nuns will face a thorough investigation, but if they are indeed good people, a new life in Valhalla awaits them.
If they are not fundamentally different from the original Qieli, then High-Quality Charcoal Processing Plant would be a good place for them.
[ Dark Archmage ] and [ Zhong Lele ] are old acquaintances. Although they are not as close as [ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ], they are not so socially awkward that they cannot say a word.
She approached [ Zhong Lele ] and whispered:
"Should we try to send the children away first? What happens later might hurt them."
"No rush."
[ Zhong Lele ] approved of her plan, but did not intend to implement it immediately.
She explained earnestly:
"I checked before going online today, and 72 percent of the overall layout of Fir City is still unexplored. This is only considering the land area and does not take into account the building's layering."
"I guess this activity will continue for at least another month. By the time the entire Fir City has been riddled with holes by us, Ed might start planning the next step."
"So I think that if we want to get rid of these children without attracting too much attention, we'll have to replace at least two-thirds of the chapel nuns."
"So much?"
[ Dark Archmage ] was somewhat surprised. It wasn't that there weren't enough female players in the World of Disorder who could disguise themselves as nuns, but rather that they weren't very familiar with most of them. If they used the Connection Fruit to do this, there might be issues with the timeliness.
"Yes, this is a solution."
[ Zhong Lele ] nodded.
"I know what you're trying to say. Let's wait three days. If there aren't more volunteers who like this kind of gameplay joining in three days, then let [ Pond Fish and Old Abyss's ] friend in Valhalla go and apply for funding from Ed."
That's one possible solution.
There are clearly reasons why the [ Zhong Lele ] gameplay doesn't attract as many participants:
The Fir City Operation requires a fairly high entrance fee, which has already deterred some fully-equipped players.
The wary civilians during the day and the Treant Hunter sweep every street at night make it impossible for some low-level players to keep up.
In addition, the overall operation time is relatively long, and the " New Wine in Old Bottles " plan does not yield obvious benefits in the short term...
A combination of factors has diverted players interested in this area, resulting in only a handful of people, such as [ Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ], [ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ], and [ Dark Archmage ], participating in [ Zhong Lele's ] plan.
However, there is one way to quickly reverse this trend: turn the player-created event into a semi-official event.
The specific method is just as many players have practiced: bring a complete plan to Ed, and special funds will be approved to be distributed to the players participating in the operation.
At this moment, [ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ], who had pushed the box to the corner, returned to the two of them, and the three of them began to discuss their next plan by the moonlight.
The next morning, the Treant Hunter returned to their nests.
[ On the Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ] arrived early outside the small church with a brand-new wardrobe and began to wait like a devout believer.
Some clergymen were quite surprised by this, but their colleagues quickly offered an explanation.
Oh, so it was mice that chewed up the wardrobe?
That's not surprising.
Tree Worship Church, after all, a sect centered on plants, and almost all of its churches are built on a wooden and stone foundation.
For the monks and nuns working in this environment, the occasional appearance of rats was not incomprehensible.
Soon Sister Qieli, who was on night watch, came out of the church. She spoke a few friendly words to the carpenter, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
The other two nuns quickly came up and, together with Sister Qieli, carried the wardrobe into the chapel, while [ Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ], disguised as a carpenter, remained standing in place, looking towards the interior of the chapel.
A passing priest, quite puzzled by this, quickly approached the carpenter:
"Commoners cannot linger here. What are you doing?"
The carpenter chuckled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said:
"I came to deliver the new cabinet, but the nun said that rats have gnawed on the wooden box again these past few days."
"Okay, then you wait here and don't come any closer."
"I understand, I understand."
[ Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ] used his civilian disguise to send away the suspicious priest, but in his heart he guessed that in the foreseeable future, some invisible rats would probably spawn in the chapel every now and then.
No, this excuse can only be used once more. I'll have to come up with a different excuse next time...
In the real world, on a certain chat software.
"[ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ] poked [ the Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] and showed off his empty wallet."
"Did you log off so early today?"
A reply from a friend appeared on the screen quickly.
During this period, [Pond Fish and Old Abyss] has been playing the World of Disorder in night mode, which means that she is always out of contact during the daytime in reality.
Meanwhile, [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ], a casual farming player, maintains his daily routine: spending his days in the real world and his nights as Incarnation farmer training his Aberration plants.
So, as it was evening in reality, she was somewhat surprised that her friend had logged off so early today.
"Yes, I deliberately logged off a little earlier than usual. I have something to tell you, and I need your help with a small matter."
"Okay, go ahead."
[ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] clearly didn't care, [ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ] explained earnestly:
"Okay, I'll send you a plan related to Fir City later. It was created by the three of us players who are infiltrating the church in the city."
"Due to our immigration status, we are temporarily unable to leave the city, so we need you to act as our representative to negotiate with Ed and continuously refine the plan..."
"Wait, with whom?"
" Ed the Guide."
"Okay, name your price."
[ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ] didn't expect her friend to be so generous as to accept this order. After all, she had heard about the business plan from [ Zhongde ] before, and the process optimization was almost driving people crazy.
However, the struggle and pain at the time were obviously no match for the joy of the plan's success. Since his friend had agreed so readily, he naturally had to ask for a price that would satisfy him. After all, even if it was a friend asking someone to do a favor, he would still have to give them some money.
"One gold coin."
"Isn't that too little?"
The [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] on the other side was replied to almost instantly.
[Pond Fish and Old Abyss] I typed a question mark and then deleted it. I felt that one gold coin was indeed too little for such a troublesome thing.
She considered that with the combined wealth of herself, [ Zhong Lele ], and [ Dark Archmage ], two gold coins wouldn't be a problem.
Just as she sent out her new offer, her friend's reply appeared on her screen:
"Are you kidding me? One gold coin isn't enough to go around! If people find out, they'll think I can't afford to compete for the rankings!"
"Listen to me, you three great people who came up with this plan, I'll give each of you a gold coin!"
