Ye Qing actually said this deliberately for Mang to hear. At least from the current relationship between the characters that can be viewed, the favorability of both parties is only around 60, at most a level slightly above the passing line.

To a greater extent, it was because Ye Qing rescued Mang, and there was also the element of the beast god’s language involved.

All these combined factors brought the favorability level to 60, which was enough to show that Mang still had great doubts about Ye Qing.

During the journey to the Orc Highlands, if the favorability still cannot be improved, then Ye Qing will have to implement her second plan.

"Let's go and have something to eat. We have to continue our journey tomorrow."

Ye Qing turned around and patted Mang on the shoulder. There was no need to make the atmosphere too tense at the moment, so he naturally did not put any more pressure on Mang.

Instead, he brought her to the pot of broth and motioned Zhao Manying to serve a bowl to Mang as well.

This made Mang, who was holding his tail between his legs, feel a little flattered. He quickly thanked Ye Qing, took the bowl of broth with both hands, and blew away the hot air carefully.

Although he was surrounded by this group of "ferocious" teammates, Mang felt indescribably at ease at this moment.

This is the first time that Mang can have such a relaxing rest in this dangerous forest.

In the past, when she traveled on this "shortcut", she always had to worry about potential dangers.

Venomous snakes in the shadows, tigers and leopards roaming around, and even monsters with mythical bloodlines, all of these beings are threats to adventurers who travel through this forest.

This is why the expedition organized by the Hiro Empire requires so many players in addition to so many NPCs.

----------

After Ye Qing and the others saved their progress and logged off, their expedition team temporarily entered a "resting" state.

If there are any problems, they can get reminders from the official app during their breaks.

Of course, the degree of defense against unexpected events and the time left for them to go online depend on the layout of the camp. A camp with elaborate traps basically does not have to worry about these problems.

"Sister Ye Qing, look at how badly Long Yin's group was beaten. Wu Yonghe and his group are really boasting~"

Zhao Xin patted Ye Qing with a gloating look and handed the phone to her.

The above is the battle report post in the forum. From the beginning of the expedition, there has been a special "war correspondent" to record the battle situation of the expedition team, giving other players who have not had the opportunity to join the expedition a chance to understand.

On the homepage, of course, is the “miserable situation” of the major professional teams and their guilds.

As expected of officially arranged reporters, they were not worried at all about offending the players and fans of various clubs and just shot as they pleased.

Especially in the battle against the Swamp Xudela, even Wu Yonghe was in a very bad state, and the scene of him being swept and thrown out was directly captured on camera.

The same was true for players from other teams, but a rising star team came to the fore.

"Heh, he deserves to suffer. Long Yin was careless this time."

Ye Qing smiled and shook his head, then handed the phone back to Zhao Xin.

It was precisely because Ye Qing knew Long Yin’s strength that he couldn’t help laughing when he saw them fall here.

In the world lines she had experienced in the past, Long Yin and his group seemed like real time travelers, doing everything thoroughly and without any mistakes.

This made Ye Qing admire him at the time, and he even regarded Long Yin and Wu Yonghe as his goals.

"Also, Sister Ye Qing, look over there at Jiuxiao, that Xiao Liu is crying again..."

Crying again

This time, not only Ye Qing smiled helplessly, but everyone around him couldn't help but shook their heads.

There were even more comments below, such as "It was done by the evil sister Ye Qing again", to be honest, Ye Qing herself had gotten used to it.

Today's first expedition has come to a rest time. Although players in the expedition team can voluntarily leave the team, exploring at night is much more dangerous than exploring during the day.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about someone traveling at night or doing something secretly.

"By the way, what is the status of our guild members?"

Ye Qing naturally became concerned about Wu Han and the others. The fact that they were not brought along for the mission this time made the Star Guild somewhat "special" among all the professional clubs.

After all, professional players are stronger than ordinary players, and it will definitely be more comfortable to play with professional players leading the team.

But everyone has seen the result today. Even if there are professional players leading the team, it will be very miserable when they encounter such a big boss for the first time.

"It's pretty good actually. Sister Fili is very good at leading the team this time. When the monsters appeared, she had already taken the team to hide nearby and took the opportunity to slack off and gain experience."

Huangfu Wenning glanced at the messages in the guild group and found that everyone was discussing it quite enthusiastically.

Especially after reading the first day's battle report and comparing it with other professional team guilds, a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

Look at you guys, even with professional players leading you, you are worse off than us without anyone leading you~

Everyone talked and laughed, and soon sat down in the restaurant.

In order to take into account the players' daily routines, Huanmeng adjusted the ratio of in-game time to real time, basically making the night and day time consistent.

Therefore, when the players are resting, the expedition team is also resting, and when the official departure time comes, the team will also set off.

"I have a question, Sister Ye Qing, if we leave the main group like this and trigger a monster of this level, should we run away on the spot?"

Zhao Xin was the less particular person at the table. He picked up the bowl of soup and started to eat with relish.

Although you have tasted the broth in the game, it does not fill you up, but instead makes you more greedy.

"Eat slowly, don't choke... It depends on the situation. A large-scale boss battle will inevitably attract attention. If it is not necessary, we should just run away."

Ye Qing nodded. She didn't feel too hungry and just ate a few bites.

Huangfu Wenning had especially taught her a lesson about this, so she specially prepared nutritious meals for Ye Qing, fearing that she would faint from hunger in the game cabin one day.

"Is the storyline of the Orc Highlands so important? Captain Ye, wasn't our main plan before this to build up our forces in the Xiluo Empire?"

Qin Fangyue was also a little confused. Although relying on Ye Qing's influence, the Star Guild had gained a firm foothold in the Hiro Empire.

However, the influence of several major families in the empire is still strong, and various professional teams are also building up their influence in these camps.

In addition, Ye Qing’s previous actions had caused everyone to suffer a lot, and the entire star was actually currently surrounded by several forces.

Ye Qing nodded, but then shook his head.

"The plot needs to be advanced. Think about it, this is a large-scale expedition organized, but it is not a real war. The emperor's intentions are quite confusing to outsiders."

Since the plot of the beast tide and the expedition have changed, Ye Qing did not use the previous template to fit the current plot.

Most people with a discerning eye can guess this, and of course there are analysts among the major clubs who are responsible for making speculations.

But as the person who is actually closest to Feilin, Ye Qing naturally knows the Queen's intention.

A few days ago, inside the palace.

After Feilin came back from abroad, she specially summoned Ye Qing to her study.

"Zero, I agree with what you proposed. If you can succeed, it would be best to find out the situation of the orc tribe before the expedition arrives."

There was a clear look of worry on her face, and it was not difficult to guess that the results of this visit to those principalities were not good.

This trip to the Orc tribe has some other purposes.

"Feilin, you organized a team like this. It looks like you want a war, but in fact you still want to show them your strength, right?"

Ye Qing could also guess that the different developments in the two lives obviously corresponded to different purposes.

The radical actions of the old emperor in the past led to the beast tide, and then he organized a team to attack the orc tribe.

But after Feilin replaced the old emperor, she adopted different methods, which may be the reason why the expedition took place before the beast tide.

"That's true, but I also hope to avoid war as much as possible."

Feilin sighed deeply. If the current situation was not unstable, why would she be so anxious to send out an expedition?

"I have a plan, a big plan, and for this I must first eliminate all uncontrollable factors, and the Orc Tribe is the biggest factor."

Hearing her say this, Ye Qing frowned immediately, and countless possibilities emerged in his mind.

But the one that is closest, and the one that worries Ye Qing the most, may be the one that best fits Feilin's plan.

Unify the surrounding countries

The Hiero Empire was a powerful country with strong military power. Although the political situation was chaotic during the reign of the old emperor, it still cultivated a considerable war force in order to unify the countries.

The Western Continent has been in chaos for a long time, and all countries have their own ulterior motives, but the Hero Empire is the strongest one.

"I understand what you mean. I will try my best to gain the support of the Orc Tribe. If that doesn't work..."

Ye Qing nodded to Feilin, which made Feilin feel relieved and even a little fortunate.

It is my greatest luck to have such help, who has been supporting me since I was down and out.

Ye Qing already understood what she meant without her having to explain in detail.

"What about those big families?"

There are internal and external troubles. To solve the external troubles, there are still internal troubles. Ye Qing also wants to get accurate information from Feilin.

If she clearly knew which families she wanted to attack, Ye Qing could also plan ahead to profit from it, or even do a favor to other professional teams.

"It's still early. I'll decide based on the situation after you come back."

"So this is basically the situation. In order to achieve this goal, this expedition is inevitable."

Ye Qing hadn't even touched the rice in his bowl yet, he was busy explaining to everyone what was going on.

Li Xuan and the coaching staff already knew the general situation of this matter. After listening to Ye Qing's detailed explanation today, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh at Ye Qing's courage and carefulness.

"Then...if we fail, do we have to act ahead of time?"

Chapter 72: Move out in the Dark

Xiao Yan asked cautiously. He had just been eating with his head down, but after listening to what Ye Qing said, he finally couldn't help it.

Considering the worst-case scenario, resorting to force is the best outcome.

Moreover, if this group of people arrived at the Orc tribe first, if the negotiations really broke down in the end, it would be hard to tell whether they could escape unscathed.

"Well, this shouldn't be that difficult. I have confidence in convincing the leaders of the orc tribe. The key is that we have to get ahead of everyone else."

Ye Qing nodded, even though what she said and what she did seemed to be completely opposite.

She deliberately led her team to set out later than the others in order to avoid being noticed by other teams.

And with Mang's guidance, the Xingchen people can take the opportunity to overtake the expedition team, which is naturally a good opportunity.

Regardless of whether the deal can be reached or not, it is obvious that the subsequent profits can only be maximized if one team takes them.

"So are we going to travel overnight? I guess other teams are also traveling at night, should we also..."

Anjie thought about it and realized that if it was in Longyin, Coach Lin would have taken the lead and would not have let them out until the matter was resolved.

But it is different on the Xingchen side. Although Xingchen is highly professional and all aspects of the team are quite formal, there are no particularly high-pressure operations.

"No, we need to rest well before we get tired. The next part of the journey will be much more difficult than the first part. It won't be as smooth as it is now."

Ye Qing shook her head. She decided that everyone should take a break tonight and there was no need to practice any more.

They had to hurry up the next morning, as this forest was far more complicated than anyone had imagined.

So much so that Ye Qing was worried whether he could finish the middle section of the journey tomorrow.

After everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Ye Qing stayed in the conference room and prepared plans for tomorrow with Li Xuan.

"Captain Ye, will the second half of tomorrow's journey be so difficult?"

Li Xuan looked at the chart given by Ye Qing and compared it with the copies he had experienced before. As a coach, he couldn't help but frown.

Whether it is the monster level, battle intensity, or dungeon terrain, it is a bit difficult for players at this stage.

This so-called highland jungle is truly a jungle of death.

"These are just what I have explored. In fact, it will be even more difficult, not to mention the possibility that the guide will betray us."

Ye Qing certainly would not pin his hopes solely on Mang, just as all clubs had conducted scouting before this expedition and had a general understanding of the route.

But except for people like Ye Qing who had a clear corresponding route, most of the others returned empty-handed, and suffered losses halfway through the journey back to the imperial capital.

The situation in the highland forest is changing in real time, and the monsters and terrain even have seasonal changes, so naturally there is no fixed way.

"If we prepare for the worst, we're afraid we'll lose at least three people."

Li Xuan certainly did not doubt Ye Qing's fighting ability, but the extreme environment of the highland forest was enough to cause casualties. He felt that saying three people was a bit conservative.

Among them, the abnormal condition called "forest fever" is exactly like malaria in the real world.

"I'm sure, two people at most."
