Chapter 579 428: Jiang Takes the Stage
Chun asked Tom, "Tom, can you switch to a different robe when you become human again later?"
Tom was very confident: "Meow!"
Great, that's the confidence we need.
The black cat arrived at the alley near the Teleportation Plaza. The shadow of the night, plus the street shadows, made it easy to cover Tom's transformation into human form. However—
Chun quickly called a halt: "Tom, wait a moment before transforming!"
"Meow?"
At this moment, several more NPC guards appeared around the Teleportation Array, clearly increased by the Ten Lords. Additionally, no other NPCs were coming and going, as it was midnight and NPCs' work-life was still relatively regular.
No matter what robe Tom wears, entering this Teleportation Array alone and abruptly will surely cause trouble!
Now Chun was in a bind, what to do? Wait until dawn?
What would they do for the next few hours? Take advantage of Mina's dragon transformation effects and search for Nightmare Power in the slums? But the more impoverished the area, the more bitter and deeply resentful, and the more likely a powerful Nightmare would appear. Their Spirit wasn't enough to handle a Time Freeze!
Even if now using "Healing of Love" with Mina to regain Spirit, she's a dragon now! Ugh, what's wrong with me, why am I thinking about healing with her?
Or, have a player take the cat there? Besides the 5000 Mining Coins teleportation fee, players using the Teleportation Array are even more suspicious. If monitored on the Bronze Teleportation Array on the other end—that's it, it's linked to me! Although perhaps they suspect everything is linked to me, getting caught red-handed will make a big deal out of it.
Hold up!
There's no Ten Lords at Black Iron City, and the Black Iron City Teleportation Array isn't monitored! We could go back to Black Iron first, consult with Fafnir, or simply do something at Black Iron City to wait for dawn.
Calling on players is viable!
So who do you call? Matters at the player level need to be discussed with the big shots.
Chun immediately sent a text to Zhou Qing: "President Zhou, it's urgent!"
Zhou Qing immediately replied: "Brother Chun, please speak?"
"The Little Demon I sent to Silver City to cause trouble is being monitored by the Ten Lords. A few more NPCs are guarding the Teleportation Array now, making it inconvenient for Demon to return. Can you help check if other cities have had additional NPC guards at their Teleportation Arrays?"
"I'll ask right away."
In no time, Zhou Qing replied: "Indeed, Gem City, Oak City, Bronze City's Teleportation Arrays have more guards, but Black Iron City doesn't!"
"Then please help find someone to use the Teleportation Array to bring the Little Demon back to Black Iron City, but this individual must be reasonably believable. After all, players who can spend 5000 Mining Coins for teleportation are extraordinary, right?"
Zhou Qing laughed: "The man for this is easy to find, it's Old Classmate, President Jiang! During beta testing, he was flaunting with a group of female internet celebrities. Him using the Teleportation Array is totally reasonable."
Holy Shit, that guy!
Chun was a bit worried: "Does he know I'm at a cyber cafe, that I'm actually me?"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Who knows? Brother Chun, your position is within National Security, blocking others from inquiring about your channels. Even in the command headquarters chat group's national server, none of the big shots know exactly who Brother Chun is."
Chun was speechless: "His sudden trip to the Black Iron City using the Teleportation Array also seems abrupt, doesn't it?"
Zhou Qing replied: "Not abrupt at all. Actually, when our Xuewei Girl Corps made a comeback, President Jiang wanted to bring his group of female internet celebrities to Southern Canyon Village to piggyback off the hype, but… the guards at Silverlight Village wouldn't leave him."
Chun retorted unkindly: "He's clearly thinking the Canyon Village is too poor, no development!"
Zhou Qing laughed: "But today's battle is different. Thousands of players at the Canyon Village are leveling up to level ten, which determines that going forward, Black Iron City is the direction for development in the China District. He can come over anytime, and bringing a group of female internet celebrities along makes it even more convenient and reasonable to take a Little Demon."
Chun sighed in relief: "Reasonable! I'll detail the arrangement. First, casually send a player to prepare a basket or backpack, place it at Trash Can number 12 in Silver Plaza, then my Little Demon will dive inside, and his person will just pick up the bag and leave—but absolutely make sure not to open the bag! Once in Black Iron City, find a deserted alley, drop the bag and leave."
Zhou Qing replied: "I'm on it! Brother Chun, stand by for my news."
Chun, afraid Jiang Moyu would be fidgety, reminded him once more: "Pick up the bag, leave, don't ask, don't look!"
"Of course, this Little Demon matter is known only to you, me, and Moore."
Chun felt this quite ironic, never expected to have a use for this underachiever!
Soon, Zhou Qing replied: "Arranged, Old Jiang will bring ten top female internet celebrities over."
He belonged to the real-world "Healing of Love" type of player.
Chun felt a bit displeased: "Doesn't he have dozens of female internet celebrities?"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Seventy-two, claiming Three Palaces, Six Chambers, Seventy-Two Concubines! But in reality, money is useless here, Mining Coins speak louder, he can only bring ten, more than that isn't feasible for teleportation. Black Iron City is full of Warriors and desperately needs healing, his arrival absolutely forms a main force group."
Chun suddenly felt like chatting: "Are you in frequent contact?"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Frequently! He's like a sticky plaster."
Chun's heart skipped, hidden implication: "Old Jiang isn't married yet…"
Zhou Qing laughed: "Him? A lazy cavalier with his harem entourage, does he need marriage? Women would rather find a divorced man than him!"
Chun sweated: "Hypothetically, if he were to marry, what would be the bride's first condition?"
Zhou Qing burst into laughter: "Of course, to make his whole harem scram!"
Harem scram, heavens would collapse upon him! Feels quite gratifying, doesn't it?
Just then, a player from China District came over with a flower basket, confirming the location, and left it on the trash can.
Zhou Qing's text message screenshot also arrived: "Is this it? Is the basket size suitable?"
"Yes, suitable. The player can leave. Or can stand by nearby, in case another passerby gets handsy, he can rescue the situation."
"Okay, using a flower basket aligns with the flashy image of his group of female internet celebrities. Then his team might be here in a few minutes."
Chun watched as the player left and then had the black cat check it out - it was indeed fitting, even slightly spacious.
The key problem is Jiang Moyu can be really fidgety! The more you warn and advise not to peek, the more likely he's provoked to peek or touch!
No way, even though defenseless against others, he must be guarded against!
Chun had the black cat dig through trash in the trash can, then spotted a dirty bottle. The bottle's good, sealed with Demon God myths, eerie!
Drag the bottle into the basket first. Still feels not creepy enough! Nothing good left in the trash can.
Chun saw a household's clothes rack from street level, with a dirty rag doll hanging from it.
The doll's eerie enough! A regular in horror films. Even Zhou Qing would be startled after poking around, realizing it's just a doll.
Thus the black cat leaped several times and snatched the rag doll, still dripping with un-dried water! This water is wonderful!
Then, well, the black cat slipped into the basket, continuing its Invisibility.
Soon, the sounds of the marching in the alley were indeed heard, Zhou Qing's text message arrived as well: "Old Jiang is here!"
"Noted!"
Next moment, the basket was lifted, then a light broke through as the lid uncovered!
Old Jiang: "Holy Shit!"
Chun: "Holy Shit!"
