After giving the otten how she responded to Wandering Cloud’s request in her past life How ironic it is It seenificant joke Hoish to forget everything
Of course, she wouldn’t waste her ti of the past She was a reincarnator, she would never give Wandering Cloud another chance to take advantage of her, “If you need anything froe There’s no need for you to add me as a friend” that was how Ye Ci rejected his request
Wandering Cloud did not expect Gongzi You to turn hi so very common A player would nor Cloud was momentarily stunned before he could coet in contact if I need your help”
Wandering Cloud ended his conversation with Ye Ci right there and then He felt aard after receiving her response Continuing the conversation would onlyCloud’s action According to her knowledge of Wandering Cloud in her past life, this person was the eive up after facing a rejection froer problems to worry about, Ye Ci was quick to shove this incident to the back of her e with the Doran Thieves Guild so that she could co her Red Lake City prestige for the sake of continuing her side quests in the city This dile Ye Ci to her limits
She tried her best to co at the lake – but no avail She gave up for theskill instead Red Lake City was a good fishing spot Knowing that it would be a waste to fish using a nor rod, Ye Ci activated her Brooch of Deceit and equipped the Purple quality fishing rod she obtained earlier on
A sudden thought flashed across her uised her equipotten that! The Brooch of Deceit could be used to change her appearance She would be able to appear as an NPC with the brooch!
She would be able to solve her proble a plan in her er to try it out
She headed to the city hall, and found the quest giving NPC She then accepted the quest to defend Red Lake City fro bandits, capturing bandits, or torturing bandits
The three quests offer the sae points as a reward However, to test out the effects of the Brooch of Deceit, Ye Ci chose the bandit slaying quest
Bandit Slaying: Kill 100 Bandits from the Doran Thieves Guild within 3 hours The quest was not tough for Ye Ci With her military rank in Red Lake City, she could lead a squad of 10 NPCs into battle with her It made her job very simple
Ye Ci then led ten lvl 50 NPC soldiers out of the city, heading northwest towards the Silvery Tin Vein Her action aroused the curiosity of players along the way Many of thee channel currently closed to strangers and the speed that she was travelling at, the players could not obtain an answer fro the Silvery Tin Vein, Ye Ci activated the Brooch of Deceit, disguising herself as a Red Lake City Guard Captain, and headed straight to the spawn point of the lvl 40 bandits She had already scouted out the area The spawn point was quite a distant away from the bandit’s hideout, which meant that the bandit patrols in the area were thin This area was very secluded, and the likelihood of players appearing nearby was very low
Ye Ci ordered the NPCs under her coe at the bandits, once she arrived at the flat terrain of the spawn point The bandits in the area were all lvl 40, not equipped with any special skills, dealing only physical dae waYe Ci was able to easily dispatch the bandits with the help of the Red Lake City soldiers The only thing she had to do was to pay attention to any bandit runners ould return to their hideout and bring reinforcements to the battle
The bandits were quick to respawn, and Ye Ci was able to co quest within a short while, and returned to red Lake City To not attract unnecessary attention, Ye Ci reuise and dis a needless talk with the officer in the city hall, Ye Ci was finally able to complete her quest and receive the reward She then headed to the Silvery Tin Vein She was anxious as she walked into the bandit hideout
The bandits remained hostile towards Ye Ci, but due to her Epic-tier quest, they did not attack her on side Millard was still resting in his house, while John’s name was still yellow in color Their attitude towards Ye Ci did not change even after the one hundred bandits she had slain Ye Ci was still cautious despite the situation She opened John’s status interface, and noticed that his intie relief to Ye Ci
Of course, a sliver of anxiety remained in Ye Ci’s heart Her experi as an NPC to kill bandits will not affect her prestige with the bandits But what if leading bandits while disguised to attack Red Lake City could still affect her Red Lake City Prestige?
“Ah, it’s good to see you again, my friend! So, have you reeted Ye Ci politely as he noticed her approach He then offered Ye Ci three options to increase her her Doran Thieves Guild Prestige:
1 Rob 12 players
2 Rob 12 Red Lake City Citizens
3 Kill a specific NPC within Red Lake City
Ye Ci read the description of the three missions carefully In the first option, Ye Ci was required to kill 12 players in the Silvery Tine Vein She would then receive a quest ite her quest She was required to rob 12 Red Lake City citizens in the second option There was no specific location for this option As long as the NPCs that Ye Ci killed were citizens of Red Lake City, she would be able to complete the quest The third option was the hardest She was required to kill the Chief Warden of Red Lake City
The Chief Warden was a lvl 70 NPC There was no way Ye Ci could kill hi the area It was almost impossible for Ye Ci to even reach the Chief Warden
The third option was definitely out of the question for Ye Ci She was left with the options of either attacking the players or any Red Lake City citizens
After giving thean NPC from Red Lake City was just too risky With Ye Ci’s reputation with the Doran Thieves Guild, they will never send theirthat Ye Ci could do was to kill other players
Although the Silvery Tin Vein was located on top of an ore vein, it was a small map The player population in the map were not as concentrated conificant nuroups It was hard to catch a straggler out
Ye Ci disguised herself as a Bandit Captain, which utilizes h to deal with players who had a lower level than her After couise, Ye Ci left the bandit hideout and surveyed the surrounding areas
A Bandit Captain is a lvl 50 Elite Monster, which meant that it had a better loot drop co alone with the guise of a Bandit Captain immediately became the focus of player attention
Ye Ci knew that this would happen This hy she chose areas where players were less concentratedTwo reasons contributed to Ye Ci’s decision Firstly, a lower concentration of players meant that there was a lower risk that she would be swarzi You, she could take on 20 players without e As a Bandit Captain, she le tirouped up in smaller parties ather herbs or mine for ores Such players were usually not used to co them easy prey for Ye Ci
Ye Ci immediately attracted the attention of players around her as soon as she entered an abandoned mine
“Look! A lone Bandit Captain!”
“Hurry! Go take it out!”
“It’s a lvl 50 monster, can we take it on?”
So their course of action, but many of them let their actions speak Spells, skills, and arrows rained down on Ye Ci as Warriors began charging at Ye Ci
The vast majority of the players were at lvl 30 Ye Ci would be able to complete her quest if she was able to kill them all She locked on to a Warrior that was closest to her and launched one of her abilities at hiet spell was able to instantly annihilate the Warrior It seeet After having a rough idea of hoerful the skills of a Bandit Captain could be, Ye Ci unleashed the rest of her abilities on the players around her The melee players ere closer to her iped out, while players ere farther away i off asthe quest items before more players could arrive at the scene to take her on However, she did not loot from the dead players as they were all players of the Eastern Continent Besides, their equipment was inferior to Ye Ci’s
She i the quest items Many of the players chose not to revive themselves as Ye Ci was still nearby They observed the lone Bandit Captain froan their own discussion
“Fck ht we could kill it I’ve never expected that ill get wiped out”
“We were badly organized If orked with the other parties instead of trying to score the last hit, we could’ve kited it and eventually defeat it”
“That’s easier said than done! We were not the only party back there Do you think everybody will agree to that?”
“That’s why…”
“Hey, look at that! The Bandit Captain is searching the corpses! You’ve gotta be kidding ht! I’ve never knew that ht!”
“Ahh, cut the crap! What if it loots our equipment?”
“Do you want to revive now?”
“Are you crazy? We will have only half our hitpoints if we revive! That thing can kill a full health Warrior! You’ll only lose your equip the appearance of an NPC did not know that her action beca in her mind was to collect all the items and cos would grow bad for her The secret of her Epic-tier quest would be revealed along with her Brooch of Deceit If so like that happened, Thousand Sunsets would be able to guess the identity of the thief who stole from Steel-Blooded Battle Spear Even if he has lost much of his influence, he still posed a threat to Ye Ci in real life
Even if Thousand Sunsets chose to ignore such a fact, the real owner of Steel-Blooded Battle Spear, as the Old Master behind Thousand Sunsets would definitely act The items within the warehouse of Steel-Blooded Battle Spear were his investments If her secret was revealed, Zero Arsenic, Unbridled Willow, Thousand Sunsets, and even Dong Yin and Yi Cang would definitely go after her It was not soht to be careful
Even with thethe Bandit Captain, there were still a significant nu for reinforce, the news of a lone Bandit Captain wandering around in Silvery Tin Mine was spread across the land Despite their trauainst the Bandit Captain, many players were enticed by the loot drops of the Bandit Captain, and their greed overrode their fear The players began hunting for Ye Ci as disguised as the Bandit Captain
This was so that Ye Ci wanted to avoid She could never afford to drop her disguise, but this meant that her mobility was severely limited It was very hard for her to escape the players with the Bandit Captain’s e to Ye Ci with their attacks, but they were still very annoying
