Chapter 557: Moon Shadow's Breath, Greenfield, Yu Yuan, A Triangle and a Covenant

When Xiao Xi saw the messages Ladziz and the others sent, she was slightly stunned.

Because she had already left the Bronze Rank chat group, she didn’t know that Yu Yuan Shelter had eliminated Naz.

On top of that, she had been overwhelmed with other matters lately and had no time to pay attention.

Still, when she saw Ladziz and the others asking for higher pay, she snorted coldly.

But after putting herself in their shoes, she also understood that Yu Yuan eliminating Naz within two hours indicated how difficult the task had been.

“Yu Yuan really is a troublesome fellow!”

“In just a few months he’s developed to this point. How much support did the Wolf Clan give him? Could it be that because I eliminated the Bronze Rank elite werewolf from the Wolf Clan, Yu Yuan has become their new key development target?”

Ssss—

The more Xiao Xi thought, the more likely that possibility seemed.

Her gaze fell back on the message Ladziz had sent.

It mentioned that the intelligence she previously provided might not be completely accurate.

Xiao Xi naturally knew there could be errors in the information she provided.

But one thing absolutely could not be wrong: that Yu Yuan was a werewolf.

After all, her own younger brother had firsthand experience with this.

There was no way that was incorrect.

Xiao Xi was quite displeased about Ladziz and the others taking the opportunity to raise their price.

But there was nothing she could do. Although she had many Descendants at Bronze Rank, the Blood Clan was at a real disadvantage in the extreme cold environment.

Unless they had special items.

Suddenly, Xiao Xi’s eyes brightened with an idea.

“That’s right! If Yu Yuan is a werewolf, why don’t I handle this myself?”

Although Duke Yegu’s attitude toward her had been complicated recently, Xiao Xi still opened a chat.

[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Your Grace, I have fresh intelligence on the Wolf Clan. The one called ‘Yu Yuan Shelter’ has advanced to Bronze Rank. He just completed the promotion and immediately entered the leaderboard in the seven-thousands.

And just now, he eliminated the player ranked 5,124 on the leaderboard, raising his placement further.

It’s only been about a week since his Bronze promotion. I suspect he’s the Wolf Clan’s new focal development target to secure their Bronze base. He’s not a small threat.]

After sending the message, she paused, then found the player named [Greenfield Cruise Ship] in her friends list.

Seeing the player’s avatar frame, she was surprised to notice it had turned from Bronze to a silvery-white color.

“So she’s advanced to Silver. Impressive!”

A smile appeared on her face.

Promotion to Silver meant Greenfield’s prophetic ability had become stronger, and she could access more resources.

Xiao Xi sent a message immediately.

[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: I didn’t expect you to have advanced to Silver. Congratulations!]

Greenfield replied faster than Xiao Xi expected.

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: Same to you, same to you. Your promotion also gave me momentum. Need a prophecy? As my first client since reaching Silver Rank, I’ll give you a fifty percent discount.]

Xiao Xi’s smile widened—such a good deal was unexpected.

Sure enough, effort sometimes pays off.

After a run of bad luck and rumors, things finally seemed to be turning around.

She didn’t hesitate.

[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Thank you so much. Please predict the situation of Yu Yuan Shelter again. If you can’t divine him, then predict the deathbed state of ‘Scorching Underground Castle’. If possible, confirm his relationship with the Wolf Clan’s backing.]

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: Yu Yuan Shelter? He actually promoted to Bronze? Alright, I’ll divine him for you right now.]

-

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: Sorry, Moon Shadow’s Breath just contacted me to ask me to divinate your situation?]

[Yu Yuan Shelter: ????? She asked you to predict, and just told me that?]

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: It’s fine. I gave her a fifty percent discount, so I don’t need to stick rigidly to professional standards. Some deviation in intelligence is understandable. You get what you pay for.]

Yu Yuan: .......6

So professional ethics can be adjusted that flexibly.

If Yu Yuan hadn’t known in advance that Greenfield had voluntarily helped him before, he would never have believed it.

Clearly, these prophecy players are the most crooked bunch.

[Yu Yuan Shelter: Back to the previous topic, those oil creatures can even interfere with divination skills, but they’re not players and wouldn’t possess various items, right?]

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: That’s what has me baffled. I think you should take this seriously. From my experience, something with that ability is either a very special species—special enough to automatically block any detection-type skills—or there is a powerful being among them.]

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: I also asked higher-ups in our Star Track Cult group using a hypothetical, and their conclusions basically match mine. Of course, I didn’t directly say ‘oil creatures’.]

Reading Greenfield’s words, Yu Yuan fell into thought.

Greenfield’s analysis made a great deal of sense, and Yu Yuan didn’t doubt the Star Track Cult’s Archives.

With prophetic capability, the Star Track Cult was undoubtedly the organization that held the most secrets across the Civilization Ladder.

That meant he had to make a trip to Fuel Town.

The Greenshore world was his core world after all. He didn’t want strange dangerous creatures appearing there.

Yu Yuan continued communicating with Greenfield about the oil creatures, about how to deal with Moon Shadow’s Breath, about the Blood Clan and Wolf Clan situations, and so on.

Of course, Yu Yuan also had to pay for the consultation, but this was just Greenfield’s service policy.

Anyone who consulted would have to pay, but how much was up to Greenfield.

In the end Yu Yuan paid one million survival points and ended the call.

Although it was a friendship discount, Yu Yuan didn’t worry at all.

Because the virtual light screen civilization overview page had already added a new page—[Covenant].

And within [Covenant] a new name had already appeared—Greenfield Cruise Ship.

-

Xiao Xi opened the virtual light screen again and still hadn’t seen Greenfield Cruise Ship’s response.

“It’s almost been an hour, and she still hasn’t given the prophecy?”

Her brow tightened slightly, then quickly smoothed out.

“Maybe it’s because Yu Yuan promoted to Bronze. A longer wait could mean more accurate information…”

While Xiao Xi tried to self-reassure, Greenfield’s message arrived.

Xiao Xi smiled.

“I knew it…”

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: Sorry, Yu Yuan’s anti-detection ability is much stronger than expected. It took more time to divine him from other angles. Sorry for the wait.]

Reading Greenfield’s message, Xiao Xi suddenly felt a pang of soreness she couldn’t explain.

She glanced at Duke Yegu, who still hadn’t replied for the past hour.

Then she looked at Greenfield, whose service attitude was impeccably professional.

The fatigue she had felt from recent events seemed to ease a bit.

[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: It’s alright, thank you for your hard work. Yu Yuan is indeed difficult to deal with. He has likely secured substantial support from the Wolf Clan; this all makes sense.]

Greenfield paused at Moon Shadow’s Breath’s reply in the chat box, slightly surprised.

What was happening?

Had she left Moon Shadow’s Breath hanging too long?

Why was the kid now defending her?

But soon, true to her typical water-sign Pisces nature, Greenfield’s spiritual insight and intuition allowed her to sense the grievance, ambition, helplessness, and exhaustion woven through Moon Shadow’s Breath’s words, along with a faint thread of being moved.

In that moment, Pisces’ unique empathy made Greenfield feel Moon Shadow’s emotional plea.

She silently smoothed her hair.

Has this kid suffered such heavy blows recently?

Half of her prepared lines weren’t even used before the task had already been overfulfilled.

Now she felt a little reluctant to be ruthless...

Sigh…

She really was still too kind.
