Chapter 3174: Sarifov: Children, This Is the Final Lesson_2

Triss was a bit excited too, but having weathered many storms, she remained calm and advised:

“After all, the life greenhouse is currently in the hands of the Scholar Faction, and that crazy Half-body Man is unlikely to willingly hand it over to you. That place is a crucial stronghold of Twilight, and trying to take it won’t be easier than directly defeating the Black Disaster. You need an exceptionally good action plan. Most importantly, that place is located in the Grey Desert, too far from Transylvania or anywhere else, which means you can’t use the People’s Army or Wolf People as your main force. Players! Players are the main force in this battle. The power of the player community clearly still has room for further improvement. At least in terms of numbers, they can still be more.”

“Mm, indeed, I got a bit too excited. This is yet another genuine big surprise brought to the players by the ‘True Otherworld’ Development Team! It’s definitely worth making it the most thrilling story advancement in the current game phase.”

Murphy took a few deep breaths, rubbed his chin while sitting in his chair, and mused:

“But we must start preparing for it now. I’ve already agreed with the Sovereign that after completing the affairs of the Sanghai Empire, he’ll begin the Holy Blood Seal operation. If the ultimate goal is the life greenhouse project, then we can absolutely make this action the grand finale of the 3.0 storyline. After a sufficiently thrilling victory where order triumphs over chaos, players will also receive their own wonderful rewards. Haha, the official opening of 18+ content will definitely achieve an epic leap in user engagement, especially guys like Niu Niu and Dust Beater… If they don’t come and give this Dog Planner a deep bow, it means they have no conscience.”

“Sigh, enjoying cyber love, being an electronic simp, wanting to stick with an otherworldly two-dimensional girlfriend, and still willingly accepting the cruel exploitation of the Dog Planner. If I were the players, I’d definitely arrange something for you!”

Triss, crossing her arms, mocked fiercely from the side:

“Tone it down, Murphy, games should be enjoyed with a smile, don’t always be so materialistic.”

“You’re speaking with no pressure on your waist while standing. I’m telling you, this is… hmm? Wait, there’s a communication coming in.”

Murphy was about to delve deeply into what “the basic qualities of a Dog Planner” meant with Triss, but was interrupted by a sudden quantum communication request. Upon connecting, he found it was a communication signal from Mosna.

“Officer Murphy, the monitor I placed on Miss Penny detected an abnormal signal!”

Mosna, in a serious tone, reminded:

“She and Bertie seem to have encountered members of Twilight. The latter tried to shield the communication but underestimated the effectiveness of the monitor I personally crafted. Penny also actively cooperated in recording the visuals and sounds. I’ve locked their location. Should we move against the Twilight members?”

“Of course! We left that monitor precisely for this moment!”

Murphy abruptly stood up and gave Triss’s ample behind a hearty pat, ordering the Crimson Witch to contact the Golden Ones still able to act, preparing to encircle the target.

“Mosna, ready the War Marshal armament! Also, maintain hidden communication with Penny, and if possible, have that girl stall them.”

“Sir, I think you should consider what to do if Penny and Bertie betray us…”

“Then we haven’t lost anything either. Anyway, tonight one or three members of Twilight must face the justice they deserve. But before that, Miss Penny and Mr. Bertie must undergo a test of conscience. I don’t wish to interrogate humanity. But unfortunately, we or Twilight, they can only choose one side.”

“And what if… they choose neutrality?”

“Are you joking, Mosna, neutrality? How is that any different from standing against us? On such fundamental matters, no one can claim neutrality!”

—————-

In a secluded area connecting Lake Xiuerpres and the Ligurian Peninsula, the ground under the night sky was filled with the stench of fish and the strange charred smell of grilled fish. Scattered around were the charred corpses of burned Daguan Fishmen, with burnt Merfolk huts visible nearby.

The scene was like a divine punishment of Heavenly Fire.

Perhaps “flame tornado destroying the Merfolk’s parking lot” would be a more fitting description.

And currently, only two NPCs from the player faction could stage such an exaggerated scene: one was “Dragonflame” Miss Lina, who specialized in shaping fire magic, but since the battle of deicide, she had been tracking the traces of Origin alongside Lady Shani and hadn’t appeared for a long time.

So, it was certain that the one fighting here was the highly renowned “Destroyer Guardian No. 11” among the players.

Penny wasn’t here idly slaughtering Merfolk for fun. As a mechanical life form, she valued efficiency and wouldn’t waste time on bullying the weak. The reason she surprised these Daguan Fishmen was to track the traces of the Daguan Holy Child.

According to player reports in recent days, a super Merfolk might have appeared near Lake Xiuerpres, and Murphy tasked Penny with obtaining another piece of ‘Symbiotic Crystalline Object’ in the shortest time possible for the subsequent organ enhancement experiment.

Penny didn’t operate alone, her ‘dedicated pilot’ Bertie was always with her.

This also resulted in Bertie, with poor combat strength, being too late to retreat once Penny detected suspicious shadow activity, leading the two of them to face a ‘familiar foe’ emerging from the shadows amidst the chaotic battlefield.
