"Doing a good deed?" The middle-aged man curled his lip. "This is a batch of fantasy materials! Returning it like that? Who's that stupid..."

"Didn't we also come together because of a simple idea, and get to where we are today step by step?"

The president's reminder made the middle-aged man pause, and he voluntarily stopped his prejudiced remarks.

Yes... there are many people in this world who are willing to do good deeds, and they are not the only ones who are trying.

"Let's remember this favor for now. When the person who did this comes forward, we can repay the favor and maybe even cooperate with them."

The guild leader said, "Anyone who can snatch goods from Xingyi City is no ordinary person. By the way, how are those boys and girls being taken care of?"

"They have been settled in a settlement outside the satellite city."

The response came not from the middle-aged man, but from another female player.

She continued, "However, the people who come out of the breeding farm are all... very delicate. It will probably take them some time to adapt to their current life."

“Provide them with accommodation and job opportunities; the rest is up to them. We are all the same.”

The guild leader looked towards the outer settlement: "Recently, the frequency of random dungeons has been increasing, and the number of dungeons in the entire G08 node is constantly increasing."

"We have limited time. Now that we have the goods, let's hurry up and arrange for people to build a safe zone."

"Everyone has had a tough time lately. Once the fourth safe zone is established, people from the outer settlements can move in and won't have to live in fear like they do now."

"At the same time, our power will expand, our population will grow, and the number of players will increase..."

She revealed a determined look and said, "When the time is right, we will be able to take back our homeland in one fell swoop!"

……

Partition 001.

Roman City.

Wayne Street.

The saintess led Fan Xiao to the ruins of a building that had been razed to the ground.

The workers were busy running around, and the sound of machinery echoed throughout the messy site.

It appears that a new style of architecture is under construction here.

Fan Xiao looked around and felt a sense of familiarity...

Wait a minute! Isn't this the underground boxing ring where he first carried out an assassination in Roman City?

It hasn't been that long since we last met, and it's already been completely flattened.

"This used to be a boxing ring, and there are large underground buildings."

The saintess said to Fan Xiao, "Not long ago, the owner of the boxing ring was murdered, along with many nobles. This land was reclaimed by the game government and put up for auction. The church bought it at a low price."

“District 001 is really not peaceful,” Fan Xiao commented. “The game government is like a useless bum.”

"I think so."

The saintess smiled and continued, "The perpetrator is a newly emerged wanted criminal. The people with the white epaulets believe he is an A-level player and have given him a nickname... 'The Lolita Raiser'."

Fan Xiao: "..."

Wait, the one who raises ivy... could it be him?

No way?

"That's a really strange name. Who came up with it?" Fan Xiao asked.

"I don't know. People with white shoulder patches often give nicknames to wanted criminals whose identities are unknown."

The saintess replied, "Strange? I heard it's quite descriptive; the 'Loli Raiser' is supposedly a player who can summon a group of lolis to fight."

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Fan Xiao asked.

He had a slight suspicion that the saintess might already know that this "gardener of the ivy" was him...

Although he never revealed any flaws, intelligence always leaked out from unexpected places when faced with the ability to foresee the future.

"The people with white epaulets suppressed the banquet incident and kept it quiet."

The saintess replied, "However, they secretly leaked the information to the elite. The one who carried out the massacre at the banquet was the Raider. This murderer seems to be a member of the Life Tribunal. The elites have given up on pursuing the matter. The Life Tribunal is not one they can afford to offend."

"I never expected my identity to be exposed in such a detail..."

Fan Xiao sighed, "The person who raises vines... what an awful name, it tarnishes one's reputation."

“I think that’s quite in line with your style, Xiao.”

The saintess gave a slightly playful smile.

"How did they connect the banquet with the vine-raiser?" Fan Xiao asked.

"There's a special Grade A item over there with the white epaulettes..."

The saintess revealed the information that "the truth transcends everything" to Fan Xiao.

“It’s a dangerous prop…” Fan Xiao frowned slightly.

We need to find an opportunity to destroy it.

The saintess brought the topic back: "These days, the people who raise 'Lotus' are considered extremely vicious in the eyes of the nobles in Division 001, especially in Roman City. They are so vicious that even the nobles are terrified of them."

"After the banquet incident, many people have become more restrained. Some people don't even dare to leave their homes at night, nor do they dare to attend any gatherings. Roman City is much cleaner than before."

"Of course, the Raiser of the Ivy... your greatest success lies in helping my side win the papal nomination."

She looked around and said with a sigh, "Although I'm not the pope anymore, it's not a big difference. I can now mobilize more resources."

“I plan to convert this boxing ring into a welfare institution.”

"This is the first welfare home in Wayne Street, and soon there will be a second, a third..."

“Not only in Wayne Street, but also in other places, new welfare homes will be built one after another. What the previous pope pursued, I will make slowly, step by step, a reality.”

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao showed a slightly surprised expression: "Miss Qiu... so this is your type?"

“I am a devout follower of the Celestial Church, so you shouldn’t be surprised, Shaw,” the saintess said with a smile. “And I’ve recently confirmed that we are actually the same kind of people.”

“I don’t believe in God,” Fan Xiao corrected.

"Faith is not necessarily about God; we can also firmly believe in a certain idea."

The saintess's smile was gentle and warm: "You could have chosen a better, more rational, and more advantageous solution to handle the banquet, but you chose the most dangerous one, without even caring about the consequences... Why?"

Fan Xiao did not answer.

The saintess didn't need his answer, because she already had her own judgment in her heart.

Looking at Fan Xiao, she said sincerely, "Thank you for everything you've done."

……

Because she had something urgent to attend to, the saintess left quickly.

The date fell through, but neither Saintess nor Fan Xiao seemed to care much about it.

The two had broken free from their fake, superficial relationship and truly gotten to know each other, becoming friends in a somewhat respectable way.

This is something to be much happier than a fake date.

Fan Xiao arrived at a tower that had not yet been demolished and looked down, seeing more and more people arriving on the ruins.

He listened intently to the cacophony of conversations among the people.

It seems that the people living nearby heard about the construction of the welfare home and came to help immediately.

Among these people were quite a few teenagers, and some very young children.

They were busier than anyone else, sweating profusely, but their smiles never faded... because they were building their own homes with their own hands.

*Thud*—A badge landed on Fan Xiao's forehead.

He raised his hand, pinched it, opened it in his palm, and looked down at it.

The image that comes into view is of the goddess of justice holding a sword in one hand and scales in the other.

Just then, Tina's voice rang out from the side: "This badge of justice is for you."

Fan Xiao turned his head and saw Tina's delicate profile.

He smiled and asked, "Teacher, did I pass? How was my grade?"

"I am very satisfied."

Tina didn't hold back her praise: "Compared to the last assassination attempt, you've improved a lot this time. You no longer had so many constraints and concerns when you made your move, and you made the right choice immediately."

She glanced at the busy crowd below: "The aftermath of your assassination is brewing. There are many assassins besides you and me. These small acts, when combined, will eventually create a cataclysmic event."

"Some things don't need so much consideration; just act when the time is right."

Fan Xiao also looked down at the busy crowd and said, "After all, they make me feel more at ease than those powerful and wealthy people."

"Is that so...then you'll be very busy from now on."

After Tina finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot.

Only one sentence was left: "Don't miss dinner tonight."

"Um……"

Fan Xiao stood on the tower, listening to the noise, and continued to look down at the crowd for a long time.

As darkness approached, he silently flew away from the tower, his figure disappearing into the dim sky, unnoticed by anyone.

Like an assassin lurking in stealth.

Assassin... all is vanity, all is permitted.

Volume Four: Sharp Edge

Chapter 284 Senior Sister

Roman City.

The sea of ​​pansies in full bloom looks like rainbows scattered on the ground when viewed from a distance, shimmering and sparkling.

Fan Xiao and Tina entered the VIP passage and took the elevator to the top floor of the tower closest to the sea of ​​flowers.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the two of them watched the sea of ​​flowers and the sunset as dusk fell.

After watching for a while, Fan Xiao suddenly said, "Teacher, you rarely visit the same attraction twice. Could it be... that we're about to leave?"

"Your intuition is very sharp."

Standing next to her, Tina replied, "We are indeed leaving soon. Before we go, we want to savor this sea of ​​flowers one last time."

"Are there pursuers coming from the game company?"

Fan Xiao asked.

After Tina arrived at node G08, she was immediately given a bounty via the Time Train broadcast.

He simply didn't believe that the game company wasn't keeping an eye on her.

"Yes and no."

Tina replied with a rather disdainful tone, "Those who climb to the top value their lives and won't get involved in this kind of thing. As for those below, they don't have the strength to hunt down super players."

"That is to say..."

Following this line of thought, Fan Xiao speculated, "Are they all cannon fodder? What's the point of doing this? To put on a show and demonstrate the game company's authority?"

"That's one factor."

Tina didn't hide anything and said frankly, "But the main purpose is to test some weapons with special effects. The game company is testing the limits of certain super players. Once all the limits have been tested... hmph, they'll probably make their move."

Although she was talking about a crisis related to herself, Tina's expression didn't change much, still exuding a lazy atmosphere.

She is very confident in her abilities.

"Testing weapons, testing limits... It seems the game company doesn't have much control over the evolution game. It sounds like... the evolution game wasn't created by them directly."

Fan Xiao then asked, "What exactly is the Evolution Game?"

"Some knowledge is not a good thing if you know it in advance."
