As he spoke, he looked into the other party’s lively eyes.
“Christy, I need your help.
“This time, the system had set restrictions on the information of the Crimson Moon. For example, players could not disclose when the Crimson Moon would descend.
“One could only mention the name and its general influence.
!!
“The rules would all restrict; opening one’s mouth to transmit information and using magic or paper to record and relay. One could not do them directly.
“The natives didn’t react much to the Crimson Pact with this power. It caused a stir among the players.
“They didn’t mind because they were vague even though several players tried to find out about this.
“In any case, these guys with abnormal brains were often mysterious. Initially, some even shouted they wanted to kill a god…They would have been annoyed to death if every word was genuine.”
Christy blushed even harder as she looked into Richard’s deep eyes. She avoided his eyes and pretended to be calm.
“I-I’ll send someone to investigate the Crimson Moon once I get back…”
As she said that, he worriedly warned.
“However, I want to participate in the follow-up plan!”
Richard could not help but smile as he looked at the yearn-filled girl.
“Under safe circumstances, yes.”
Only then did Christy feel happy.
The players wailed in their hearts when they saw Christy’s positive response. Boss Qingqiu was too good…
Christy still thought about the enormous undertaking of slaying a god afterward. She turned around and left the manor in high spirits.
She seemed to be even more concerned about it than Richard.
Only a few players remained in the hall.
Hyena was the first to speak after a silence.
“Boss Qingqiu, do you have any other tasks for us?”
This time, he didn’t manage to hug someone’s thigh and clear this faction dungeon.
However, after they witnessed the demeanor of the big boss, he was even more determined to cozy up to him.
Richard said after a moment of thought.
“I need you to help me gather information.”
The few people who were initially sparingly apprehensive immediately perked up and hurriedly said.
“You said…”
Richard cut to the chase.
“First, continue to find more about the scrolls that can contract heroes. Focus on the scrolls that transcend and above.
“Second, use the players’ channels to collect and sort out information about the Crimson Pact. Don’t let go of any clues.
“Third, help me find out more information about ancient myths. Remember a few keywords–ancient gods, dimension stones, seeds of the world tree…
“I never mistreat my people. I will give you generous rewards if you do these things well.”
There were still many strategic treasures in the warehouse of Twilight City he obtained from the underworld, but he was not interested in them.
They were perfect as rewards.
They patted their chests.
“I definitely won’t let you down!”
They could survive if they could hug Qingqiu’s thigh.
The few players left excitedly, and Vale, who was silent at the side, slowly said, ”
“Lord Richard, can we trust these grace mainland overlords?”
In the eyes of the natives, the grace mainland overlords had rancid reputations. Treachery and no bottom line were common adjectives.
The players’ personalities were too unpredictable…
Although Vale had not been in Solan city for a long time, he was inevitably affected after he collected information.
Richard chuckled.
“Other than you, there aren’t many people I can trust.”
Vale didn’t understand.
“Then why did you…”
Richard shrugged.
“Even if they spread the word of the mission I gave them, it wouldn’t affect anything…
“When you use people, you don’t have to be stuck on certain things. As long as you have the confidence to control the situation,” he said.
His attitude towards the players had always been purposeful. But he would never disclose it to them.
“Using them was just a casual arrangement. It would be an additional gain if it worked. One wouldn’t lose anything if it didn’t.
“One should keep an eye on anyone for the crucial, other than the heroes under his command.
“For example, a few would believe even if they spread the news of imprisoning the god’s shadow… They wouldn’t even know what imprisoned it or how.
“They would only think idiots are daydreaming if the natives heard this.
“There was nothing wrong with the information they had collected. Who wouldn’t want to have those things?
“Of course, they couldn’t spread it as long as these guys’ intelligence wasn’t low.
“It was bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit.
“There was no point in doing something that had no benefits.”
Vale looked at Richard’s calm face and didn’t say anything more.
He only mentioned it as an extra sentence, so it was fine as long he knew what he was doing.
Besides, he didn’t think the other party would fail over such a small matter.
Richard looked at the slightly thin voice and changed the topic.
Vale, do you have any plans for the future development of the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce?”
Vale shook his head calmly.
“Lord Richard, I don’t have enough information… I need some time.”
Richard nodded in understanding.
They had just built the chamber of commerce, and he needed to lay everything out. It wouldn’t be that fast.
“There’s no need to rush. We still have time.”
“First, set up the framework of the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce so that it can operate normally.”
He muttered.
“I’ll leave you with 20 million units of resources as the starting fund. Although the silver gnomes and half-orc can be the backbone, we still need to buy some ordinary hardworking merchants to fill in the gaps.
“I need to go back immediately.”
It had been a while since he came out.
There were three purposes–establish a chamber of commerce, find out the effects of the plane stones, and the seed of the world tree. They all had different gains.
He wanted to return and prepare for the S-rank mission and the temple exploration.
Moreover, the branch of the rotten tree was still in his hand. He needed to explore it.
