Chapter 233: Chapter 92: What’s there to fear? Charge in!_3
"Senior, who are they...?"
Lloyd then inquired.
"When I first came to this kind of tree, they gave me a planning map."
Arthur didn’t answer the question immediately.
"They said that by planting according to the plan on the map, it would maximize the prosperity of the trees and maintain the harmony of Mother Nature."
"But not long after I finished planting according to the plan, the map mysteriously disappeared."
"I guess...it was about a year ago."
"But maybe they didn’t know that I am a robot and can completely remember it after just one glance."
"I’ve marked all the fragrant red spots on the map. You take a good look and see if it’s the so-called Array you were talking about."
As he spoke, he started marking the map with a pen.
His speed was impressive, Ree Shil thought, worthy of a war machine.
In no time, all the spots where fragrant red had been planted were marked by him.
"Senior, this..."
Actually, when Arthur marked 80% of the spots, Lloyd had already confirmed it.
His previous judgment was correct; this was an Array.
And it must be the source of the corruption disease!
"Ah..."
After hearing Lloyd’s judgment, Arthur sighed.
He never expected that his sincere tree-planting healing journey would become a pawn of the Right Heart Sect to destroy this world.
"Senior, you have just been used by those with bad intentions, and there’s no need to blame yourself."
Lloyd perceived the other party’s emotions and consoled him, "I heard that the corruption disease is ravaging the entire planet, and this area is just a small part of it."
"In other places, who knows what more brutal and irreversible methods the Right Heart Sect will use to spread it."
"It’s already a better situation here, and there’s still time for remediation."
Upon hearing this, Arthur’s mood didn’t get any better.
"You want to know who gave me the planning map and deceived me, right?"
He looked up at the crowd.
"The guards, they were the ones who initially took the initiative to find me when I started tree planting."
"It was also them who gave me the planning map."
"Now, looking at this situation through analysis, it seems that the Right Heart Sect members you are looking for...are probably in Tree Disk Town."
As Arthur finished speaking, a subtitle panel popped up in front of Ree Shil and the others.
[Ding dong!]
[Task 1: Investigate the real culprit of the small town’s corruption disease outbreak (completed)]
[Reward: Instance draw card times increased to 5]
This baffled Ree Shil and the others as they didn’t expect to make such a detour.
And the mastermind they were looking for was hidden in the Tree Disk Town Guard Team?
"Senior, let’s go together and quickly drive them out!"
What Lloyd meant by driving out was to clear the person out of the Instance.
Entering a specified Instance is actually very costly.
For example, like Arthur, it costs quite a few Cube coins every time he enters.
This applies equally to card players, regardless of whether they are from the Right Heart Sect or the Left Heart Sect.
The Cube Card Metaverse prohibits any violent fights, so the best way for the Left Heart Sect to strike the Right Heart Sect is through economic strikes.
In simple terms, it’s about who can make the other party go broke first.
The goal is to make them too poor to continue interfering with each other’s primordial worlds.
One method of economic strikes is by driving out their personnel planted in Instances, to make the other party bear the economic loss.
This is especially true for the World of Insect Spirits, which has been long-established and has launched large-scale actions.
Driving out the Right Heart Sect members here is something the Left Heart Sect members are very willing to see and do.
As a lucky Left Heart Sect member who got into this Instance, Lloyd felt that it was his responsibility to give it his all.
"No."
Surprisingly, Arthur, a freelance member of the Left Heart Sect, flatly refused the proposal.
He had deep feelings for this world and the trees he had planted over the years and did not want to see the whole place destroyed.
But now, he had more important things to do.
"To minimize subsequent harm, those Array Eyes you mentioned should be destroyed as soon as possible."
"I am familiar with the terrain and have abundant experience, making me the perfect person for the job."
"So, I’ll go cut down trees, and you guys go drive out the Right Heart Sect members."
"We will tackle both problems simultaneously, solving all the obvious issues in the shortest possible time." ƒreewebɳovel.com
His proposal did seem feasible.
"Senior is right. It’s not easy for the Right Heart Sect to infiltrate the Left Heart World."
"Considering their cost plan, there might be at most one member of the Right Heart Sect in Tree Disk Town."
"So, the two of us...umm, the four of us can definitely handle them."
Lloyd said as such.
"Alright, let’s go back then."
Ree Shil made the decision on the spot.
[Ding dong!]
[Task 1: Resolve the corruption disease Array and expose the real culprit hidden in the Tree Disk Town Guard Team, then drive them out]
[Hint: Upon completing the mission, you will receive the friendship of this world] freeweɓnøvel.com
The next task unexpectedly came slower than his decision.
And the person who issued the mission wasn’t a native, but rather the two card players, Lloyd and Arthur.
Ree Shil guessed that this might be the so-called world will of this world.
It might have detected the Right Heart Sect, the alien from another universe, as well as their attempts to subvert its own harmony and tranquility.
So, after consultation between both parties, Arthur immediately set off with his Follower cards.
As for Ree Shil and the others, they returned to Tree Disk Town without stopping for a moment.
The constitution of card players is strong, so just a few days of continuous work won’t exhaust them.
So they barely took breaks on the way, arriving back in town early the next morning.
They climbed up the vine ladder in the dark and found that something seemed to be wrong in the area.
Guard teams patrolled back and forth on the streets, as if they were guarding against something.
They found a dark corner at the edge of the small town and holed up.
"The guard here seems a bit heavy."
Mossy Mushroom looked into the small town with a serious expression.
"Indeed, this will be quite a hindrance to our operation."
Lloyd agreed.
"What’s there to be afraid of? Let’s rush in, grass."
Straw Man waved his hand confidently.
