At this moment, the Divine Presence Seat base was a bustle of activity.
The Young Master's phone was ringing off the hook, filled with inquiries from global partners. Despite this, it somewhat eased the Young Master's vexation, realizing the camaraderie even though these folks couldn't hide their sarcasm.
A team member reported, "Young Master, a luxurious carriage left the North Gate of the city! It seems to be Baron Bapeng from Black Iron City."
The Young Master immediately hung up the phone and stared at the LCD wall, "What's the crime for attacking a noble?"
"It's a major crime! But Young Master, the key is this time period in the afternoon doesn't match the travel patterns of nobles—nobles are very lazy."
The Young Master suddenly realized, "Any anomaly is a clue, the red name group continues attacking and gets blamed! Warrior Corps leader Sakamaru Saito, immediately dispatch people to cut trees and pile stones to block the carriage's path! And assist the task group in tracking and investigating, collecting all information about this carriage."
"Understood! Arrange for the ace team member, Peeping Immortal, to move out immediately!"
"Sakamaru reporting!"
...
At the North Gate of Black Iron City, witnessed by over a hundred thousand players on site, the carriage driver's whip tore through the red name formation like thunderous gales. Countless large team players also chased and spectated the breakthrough, making the large PK scene even more chaotic.
A white-named player quickly separated from the chaotic crowd, sprinting to chase the dust-covered carriage.
The ace of the Divine Presence task group, Peeping Immortal, ranked 7371. During the public test, successfully took the hidden profession of Rogue, currently not highly ranked because on the official server's first day, he only did few things: first reported at the Rogue headquarters to go through the profession task process, and triggered the challenging journalist interview entry task for a normal player. Then, according to public test clues, obtained a box of Stamina Potion, practiced advanced running level 10, and triggered the hidden skill basic marathon level 1! Likely the fastest player in the world right now, and will play a decisive role in later critical missions. But even so, very soon ran out of stamina and couldn't keep up.
Fortunately, leveling teams were spread across the outer city leveling areas, even if each one moved a stone, they had enough time to set up roadblocks. Roadblocks must absolutely not be seen by the carriage on site, otherwise, it's traffic obstruction crime and gets killed as a red name.
For Peeping Immortal who mastered extensive noble intelligence during public testing, as long as he catches up with the carriage, helping the noble clear roadblocks to gain a little friendship can bring creative play. If layers of roadblocks are set up and cleared, the favorability will break through incrementally.
Sure enough, saw the carriage in the distance forced to stop.
Peeping Immortal immediately requested instructions from headquarters, "Please leave 10 people in the leveling team to help me clear the roadblocks, others retreat and construct the second and third roadblocks. When constructing roadblocks, they must exceed the NPC's field of view."
"Headquarters received! Leveling team execute immediately."
"Sakamaru reporting, but unable to execute the third roadblock, it will enter the Suburban Wolf District which is beyond our current capability."
Clearing roadblocks twice... favorability still not enough!
Peeping Immortal's tone was resolute, "We need at least three roadblocks! Fight to the last to complete!"
"Headquarters agrees, leveling team execute rapidly!"
...
Peeping Immortal arrived at the carriage with a marathon jog, speaking with a flattering tone, "Sir, do you need help with anything?"
The driver pointed at the roadblock with his whip, "Clear the roadblock within 5 minutes, I'll give you 5 Mining Coins!"
"It's my honor to serve you, I won't take money!"
The driver was amused, "Not bad, you understand things!"
Peeping Immortal subtly glanced inside the carriage, indeed it was that fat Bapeng. This fat man known for his stupidity, gluttony, and lust in the noble circle, often tricked by noblewomen. So who is sitting across him? The curtain wasn't fully opened, couldn't see.
Dare not look more, nor speak more, hastened to clear the roadblock. Too much talk at first meeting with a noble is taboo! In noble's eyes, the more a commoner talks, the more like a rogue.
Clearing complete, the driver didn't take advantage, threw down 5 Mining Coins before leaving. For a main city with highly developed financial transactions, being able to touch Mining Coins is truly rare, retaining Mining Coins is even harder for players—it will be stolen by rogues upon entering the city, right?
Peeping Immortal took the opportunity to wave goodbye and saw the person opposite the fat man, immediately captured the screen! Two women, one dressed lavishly possibly a noblewoman, the other dressed simply possibly a maid. Anyway, anyone connected is a task clue.
Though his actions were livestreamed to headquarters, the necessary procedures must follow, immediately uploaded screenshots of the two to headquarters, "Please assist in investigating these two!"
"Headquarters received!"
Peeping Immortal continued to follow up, indeed saw the carriage blocked at the second roadblock.
Peeping Immortal smiled, at the second meeting could say many things, such as this fat Baron and transportation responsible Baron Garden have bad relations, he could easily curse Baron Garden, which would boost favorability. Even if this event has nothing to do with the whale, gaining relations with this fat man is a major gain.
Peeping Immortal immediately inquired headquarters, "How's the leveling team's third roadblock progress?"
"Baka, we were attacked by wolves! Only halfway done now!"
Halfway is actually acceptable.
Peeping Immortal was unconcerned about wolves, upon his arrival, most wolves likely got wiped out by that driver. Furthermore, his speed cannot be matched by wolves, their strength is stamina not speed. Hence, he can use speed as an advantage to lure the wolves to the driver for elimination, his courageous display will certainly result in a leap in favorability...
