Chapter 1089: Chapter 887: Planting Trees Really Is a Repentance Quest_2

Raphael was equally displeased: "And now we’re supposed to thank him with gratitude?"

Michael frowned: "Sariel, replay the recording of the battle just now."

Metatron looked perplexed at the replay: "I believe this is the Divine Power of the Mermaid, Luck, and that the Chairman is causing trouble, but it’s hard to believe a single player could achieve this level."

The butler reminded: "This Little Mountain God is a former professional player who got naturalized, and recently was sent to attack Royal Family players in Southern Canyon Village."

Michael suddenly became interested: "Naturalized? So he previously had a rather average standing?"

Butler: "Yes, he was always marginalized by the team. But after this incident, his status is sure to rise somewhat, likely stirring up more conflicts."

Michael laughed: "Good, Butler, find an opportunity to discreetly reach out to him. Be covert about it. Also, give some verbal encouragement to the Divine Presence Corps, prompting the team to utilize this talent."

Butler: "Understood."

Sariel was stunned: "Boss, didn’t Mei just say this matter is questionable? What kind of talent is he?"

Gabriel smiled: "The boss wants to deliberately intensify their internal conflicts!"

Michael laughed: "Mainly because it makes it easier for the butler to connect with him once his status is elevated."

...

Divine Presence Corps Command Center.

In the previous battle, the out-of-control damage of the entire city’s Magic Towers exceeded the team’s expectations. Little Mountain God wouldn’t believe that merely pretending to touch a few boxes would result in such an outcome; it was most likely caused by that fiery dragon that vanished.

But that wasn’t important anymore. Considering that Tatami Xiximi was very likely in the city and might have even monitored the recording of Little Mountain God, the Young Master decisively decided to take the initiative to claim credit with the Ten Lords, completely cutting off Curry’s threat to him.

As he anxiously awaited, the butler responded to the call.

The Young Master shivered all over!

Hearing the gentle words of the butler, the Young Master trembled with excitement: "Understood! Serving the higher-ups is my utmost honor! I will definitely make good use of and nurture this talent diligently. Of course, after this matter, he might face legal troubles in the city, but we will strive to overcome them... Hey, understood! Thank you!"

Ending the call, the Young Master was thoroughly relieved: "Mr. Xiaoshan! Now, I’m appointing you as the leader of the Zero Unit, and the designation will be Zero Shadow. Move into the dedicated server room tomorrow."

The command center was in an uproar: "Zero Unit?"

The Young Master asked: "Sakamaru, Sakamaru, Peeping Tom, Yamada-kun, what do you think?"

Peeping Tom, who had just been knocked out in a street fight and was highlighted in viral clips online, was already furious. He had anticipated that Little Mountain God might be promoted to the leader of the 5th Unit, but to his surprise, the Young Master specifically created a Zero Unit for him! Meaning his status was above the other four units? All just because of a call from the Ten Lords... Indeed, the call from the Ten Lords is divine law!

Peeping Tom, aware that his ridicule and beating might displease the Young Master, quickly stabilized his mood: "I support Mr. Xiaoshan!"

The gamble was that Little Mountain God would be caught as a traitor, unable to do anything. The Zero Unit was a joke.

Sakamaru Noto’s Warrior Corps was currently at a disadvantage, battling the Royal Family Team in Wild Boar Forest outside Iron Flame Village, lacking assurance: "I...support."

Sakamaru Saito of Sea Merchants Association was still not officially verified and had nothing more to say: "Support."

Only the Hell Mining Corps’s Yamada Turtle Boy remained silent.

The Young Master wasn’t planning to seek his opinion either: "Yamada-kun, currently, only your Hell Mining Corps has reached the third level. For now, Little Mountain God has no subordinates; any talents he needs will be drawn from your side. You should send your excellent subordinate profiles to Mr. Xiaoshan."

Yamada’s voice was trembling: "I will select some members suitable for developing into Shadow Demons for Mr. Xiaoshan."

Little Mountain God was both excited and anxious: "I will definitely strive hard to gain benefits and glory for our Divine Presence Corps."

The Young Master exhaled a long breath: "Left Sakamaru-kun, continue to show the Royal Family Team some strength!"

Left Sakamaru could only turn his resentment into fighting spirit: "Understood!"

...

Shadow Stream City, a half-ruined city, depths ablaze.

As the initiator of the battle, Alpha was destined for jailtime with failure. The only thing left to do was to shift the blame and reduce his sentence: "I report that the Magic Tower’s 9th Unit rookie, Little Mountain God, is the one who led to our complete defeat!"

The Overlord also needed to shift more blame quickly, chiming in: "Submit it to the military court for trial!"

At this time, Little Mountain God also understood his situation, betting that his destruction was mere acting, and if he ended up in court, it wouldn’t be a significant issue. It wouldn’t be long before he was released.

So, he was first held in the Shadow Demon’s exclusive "Glass Cell." Currently, the city’s disaster relief was in full swing, and the NPC court had no time for him.

However, the cell seemed to have sustained considerable damage and was not securely confined.

Little Mountain God’s heart skipped a beat; he could actually escape! But he couldn’t bet on it...

Just then, through the shattered glass wall, Little Mountain God saw Tatami caught in the next cell over. Comparing himself to his dejected neighbor, after just getting promoted, Little Mountain God’s spirits were high: "Tatami-kun!"

Alpha paused for a moment, very annoyed, didn’t want to respond.

Little Mountain God’s joy was unconcealed in front of outsiders: "I’ve now been promoted to the leader of the Zero Unit in the Divine Presence Corps, primarily responsible for collaborating with the Tata Team. Now we can talk face-to-face and discuss deeper collaboration."

Alpha was even more displeased: "I’m not with the Tata Team."

Little Mountain God smiled: "We know. From the start, we never intended to cooperate with Tata; they lack the capability. What we want is to work with you."

Alpha sneered: "Alright, first cooperate on the reduced sentence, getting out of the cell."

"No problem!"

Alpha laid out the plan: "The cell isn’t stable right now, it might collapse at any moment. What we need is to bring this cell down, and then take credit as rescuers."

Little Mountain God was worried it was a trap, had to be cautious: "But doing so would mean being charged with prison escape through destruction!"

Alpha scoffed: "See that guard post over there? It’s also unstable. Our plan is to sabotage that; when the guards get pinned, they’ll be begging us to get them out."

Little Mountain God was amazed: "It’s a bit far, our shadows can’t reach it?"

Alpha laughed: "That’s why we need cooperation. To show my sincerity in cooperation, your shadow handles the destruction; I’ll grant you Shadow Power enhancements. If you can’t show sincerity, I’ll go to sleep. I pulled an all-nighter yesterday and I’m really tired."

Little Mountain God knew that Curry was one to gain an inch and take a mile, couldn’t indulge this attitude: "I too have been up for two days without sleep, not in top form, I propose resting up and talking when our minds clear up..."

...

Oak City.

Upon their arrival via teleportation, Silva headed straight to the cultivation pharmacy, buying one sapling of each kind, totaling ten. The cost was steep,

Silva didn’t want to bother finding a spot to plant them outside the city, so directly used privileges to demand the shopkeeper plant them personally in the greenhouse, observing the effects. If it worked, she’d place a large order.

The shopkeeper couldn’t refuse and had to agree.

The moment Sela personally planted them, a notification appeared—System alert: You have planted a tea tree, supporting Chairman Chun’s redemption action.

Silva was genuinely surprised: "Redemption? It really is a reduced sentence task!"

Gabriel was equally shocked: "This kind of task trigger exists?"

Sariel was anxious: "He mustn’t be allowed to complete a reduced sentence task!"

Yet the four noble ladies also planted, and each received a redemption notification: "Great, we can now also lend a hand to the Chairman!"

Hathaway was even more generous: "Shopkeeper, I’ll buy your shop!"

The shopkeeper was shocked: "It can only be transferred, not sold, because this shop actually belongs to Lord Oak City’s estate, and I am merely an employee here."

Hathaway smiled: "Take me to your lord."

Sela became urgent: "Does the lady really have that much money?"

Hathaway smiled: "With the Chairman around, it’s fine. As a legendary explorer, loans can be secured from Imperial Bank."
