Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Are We All Family/Friends? (Seeking Recommendations, Collections, and Likes)

Xiao Nan had said at the beginning that there might be undercover agents from the [Great Wall] among those [Players].

Li Changhe also only mentioned it to He Feng.

By coincidence, He Feng chatted with the [Players’] friends while Li Changhe attacked Tie Xiong.

He happened to discover that when Teacher Wang’s so-called younger brother was asked about some things, he couldn’t help but reveal a puzzled look.

That’s when they knew Mr. Bai was also a high-energy [Player] who had some experience in hypnosis and suggestion. He had talked to the two of them, saying that this was a flaw revealed through a shallow hint.

This student seemed more like someone who was pulled in to make up the numbers>.

"Did you find a student, intending to use him as your friend to blackmail the [Player Group]?" Li Changhe smirked, "You must be Chaos·Evil, aren’t you?"

"Once I find an opportunity to catch the [Player Group] in one swoop, I will naturally arrange for him." Teacher Wang adjusted his trench coat collar, "Too bad, you disrupted my plan. I originally wanted to use this accident to test their bottom line. But you guys wiped them out, so what’s there left to investigate? You’ve done the last step."

It seemed Teacher Wang wanted to take this rare opportunity to infiltrate the [Player Group].

"If my attack power wasn’t strong enough, you probably wouldn’t have made a move against them either," Li Changhe said quietly, "Would you have just let our friends and family be taken hostage? Including [Great Wall]’s Xiao Nan?"

"Actually, she and I are from two different systems, and we are not familiar with each other. In my eyes, she is just a student with good grades. In order to infiltrate the [Player Group], I naturally won’t make a move. Of course, as her boyfriend, it’s normal for you to hate me now." Teacher Wang said as he took a few steps back with a faint smile on his face.

Li Changhe’s mechanic bow was always pointed at him.

Li Changhe chose him for the reason that he saw him as a [Great Wall] hidden pile.

In the next actions, chances are Xiao Nan’s identity as a [Holder] would be exposed. Other people at [General Mountain] couldn’t be trusted, as they might try to escape once the task was finished.

But Teacher Wang was different because he was a hidden pile and had to stay at Yanyun Middle School. He would pretend as if nothing had happened and continue his undercover work. Li Changhe only had to notify the [Great Wall Players] in his [Friends] list to prevent him from being a double agent.

Teacher Wang didn’t care much about it either, as he indeed didn’t know about Xiao Nan being a [Holder]. After all, if he, as a hidden pile, were discovered, there might be more information leaked.

Li Changhe was simply giving him a warning for now.

"Then... do you want me to help hide your [General Mountain] situation?" Teacher Wang stretched out his hand and said, "Actually, I’ve dealt with many [Players] like you. Not wanting to join the [Great Wall], but occasionally helping it. Reporting or not reporting about you guys wouldn’t matter much to me. My main job is to investigate information about [Heaven’s Principle]. So... "

He rubbed his hands together and continued, "Could you get me a few [Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty] items? Seventh Brother, Brother Eight! If I can get these, I might be able to rise to the higher ranks of [Heaven’s Principle] and arrange everything as soon as possible to return to the [Great Wall]."

Li Changhe and He Feng cursed quietly, wondering if this guy had noticed their trade with Pan Ke.

[Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty Task Items] were said to be exchangeable for 200 game coins. According to Moon God, he had a full set of rare equipment and even an epic weapon.

It was a valuable item. Now, Teacher Wang actually wanted this as a payoff... or more like hush money.

He really was Chaos·Evil, right?

After some thoughts, Li Changhe handed over three [Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty Gold Coins].

After ripping off [Sun Halo], he probably had only fifteen gold coins left, and he still needed to go to the [Exchange] to get some items.

When Teacher Wang got the gold coins, a space fluctuation flashed over his body and he changed back to his armor. He said with a smile, "Deal. Leave the rest to Second Brother."

....

On the other side, at the bonfire of the [Great Wall Players], Luo Kai whispered, "Since they are willing to send out three people, that’s more than enough. After tomorrow’s rain, we’ll start searching the entire mountain range."

"I just received a secret code, and there’s someone from us among those three at [General Mountain]." One of the [Great Wall Players] whispered, "I’m guessing it’s a hidden pile."

"I received it too. Though unclear why there’s a hidden pile of ours on General Mountain, there’s no way the secret code is wrong," Luo Kai replied. "But with this, five out of the seven of us are one of our own. Only two are left to be cautious about. This is actually good news."

"Who do you think that hidden pile would be? If it’s Li Ba, then this hidden pile is really too amazing. With that momentum, he’s almost taking the lead. Hurry up and take action," a [Great Wall player] chuckled. "Don’t let him create a [Sub-Organization] on his own."

Luo Kai furrowed his eyebrows as he recalled Li Ba’s change in attitude. He took a deep breath and said, "It’s quite possible. Otherwise, Li Ba wouldn’t have helped us so many times. It seems like... we need to make contact. If he turns out to be a [Great Wall] hidden pile, our actions will be much simpler."

Among the [Great Wall players], those who were certain that Li Changhe was Li Ba felt their minds becoming a mess.

Li Changhe was Xiao Nan’s boyfriend, he was [Uncle Eight-direction], and also Li Ba of [General Mountain]. Could he also be a [Great Wall] hidden pile?

Holy crap!

A few of them unconsciously covered their foreheads, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information.

Had [Great Wall] grown so sneakily without their awareness?

Those few [Great Wall players] began to question their lives...

Xiao Nan sitting by the bonfire twitched her mouth corner.

What a big misunderstanding...

Players who were about to set out took the time to rest and recover, while others were divided into teams, taking turns to keep a lookout.

After all, the timing and duration of the rain each day were uncertain.

The entire temple had to maintain sufficient combat power at all times.

Roughly around dawn, a heavy rain began to fall.

Both players and commoners alike instantly got up. Traders took out [Equipment], while the commoners grabbed hunting knives and axes handed out by the players.

In the pitch-black forest, it seemed as though all the trees were swaying in the pouring rain.

Li Changhe and Luo Kai stood outside the temple gates, trying to observe any difference in the forest during the rain while also contemplating their course of action after the rain subsided.

Li Changhe squinted his eyes slightly, but dim light and heavy rain significantly weakened Eagle’s Magic Eye’s effect. All he could see were countless shadows wriggling at the end of the mountain trail.

At the same time, a ’slithering’ sound traveled to his ears, as if a group of gigantic snakes were slithering on the ground.

There was not much time to observe. Based on past experiences, it took about ten minutes from when it started raining to when the temple was besieged. It seemed like the mermaids would appear from certain places and take ten minutes to reach the temple.

"Have you discovered anything?" Luo Kai, who also possessed a [Skill] to increase viewable distance, looked at the nearby forest as he asked.

"No," Li Changhe replied, "It’s too dark. At most, I can see something approaching us...Hm?"

Eagle’s Magic Eye could observe the targets’ movement traces and prompted the user in the form of small light points.

Since it was too dark, Li Changhe decided to use this effect to see where those mermaids were coming from.

However, upon activating the effect, Li Changhe noticed something strange – from the gradually dissipating glow traces, it was apparent that the mermaids were indeed heading towards the temple.

But the traces at the mountainside gradually disappeared towards the back of the mountain. In other words... their target was not only the temple?

The two fell silent for a moment before speaking simultaneously, "We can’t wait, let’s go now!"
