ED:
Igor sarcastically remarked on Chiyous secret weapon, [Yamato].
Despite his nature to get provoked by Chiyous challenging warning, Igor refrained from saying more. In reality, the number of outsiders she led was greater than the Zar guild members present here, and their level was higher as well. With Chiyou and about three outsiders, Igor thought they could be a match for himself.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
So, what now? I thought we were going to skin these NPCs and use this place as a hideout. If Miniss defense force is coming-
Faust! Why do you always have to say such dumb things? Everyone knows I was trying to map the New Continent.
Chiyou scolded the white-scaled Lizardia and scanned the surroundings. The news that Chiyou had gone to Fibiel Kingdom as a special envoy of Minis was already known to the high-level users. Everyone nodded at this fact, but no one knew how it related to the current situation.
To think Im leading these idiots Well, idiots are easier to manage.
Chiyou touched her forehead and slowly unfolded her plan.
Dont you understand why I made that proposal? Minis could have ended up with barren land, so why did Minis accept it? Its because Minis didnt care what land they got. Neither did I.
What do you mean by that, Chiyou-nim?
Currently, for Minis, Fibiel, Kraven, and Shazrashian, the four countries know about the New Continent. No matter what land is chosen, it doesnt matter. No matter how its divided, I planned to take the best land. The New Continent is currently no mans land.
Even if each country managed its land, they couldnt immediately deploy all their forces, build fortresses, cities, etc.
Chiyou knew this very well and hence kept her plan to secure the most desirable land regardless of each countrys choice while convincing the royal family of Minis to hand over the land.
Faust, the smartest among them, somewhat grasped what Chiyou was saying. But even the top 10 Necromancer shook his head in disbelief.
Youre planning to establish a country? Do you think thats possible?
Of course, its impossible. Such a foolish idea. However it worked out well. While the four countries are busy fighting over a single jointly-managed village creating one village somewhere far away seems feasible, right?
That was Chiyous plan.
Now that the true nature of Shinobigumi, the intelligence network, had been exposed, she knew further activities would be impossible. While it wouldnt be entirely useless unless completely disbanded, its use of bought NPCs in various countries and major cities would still be effective.
However, the use of these NPCs for intelligence activities would never be the same as before, and if Byulcho spread rumors in the community, the fatal blow to user-based espionage activities would be inevitable.
So, what then?
Ill just have to break it all myself. Now its time to take off Shinobigumis mask. In the New Continent, which will be the main stage for future activities. Chiyous determination was extraordinary. The idea of establishing their village in the New Continent was ambitious, leaving other users dumbstruck.
Yongyong spoke up after a while.
But, but Chiyou-nim! Even though Ive been to the New Continent, a village isnt something you can just build with users! Where will you get the NPCs from, and how will you attract users to use the village-
Thats where money comes in, Yongyong-ssi. Setting up shops, and recruiting people to manage them isnt hard. I can even repurpose the bars Im currently managing. And you, just keep increasing the number of Tamed Pets in the New Continent. We can use them as guards, right?
Did Chiyou seduce him because he was captivated by his appearance? Chiyou didnt just attract people for one reason. In her grand scheme, Yongyong will be of considerable help.
Kyakak! Money? Do you think the money from the Old Continent will work with those Paleo brutes? The feast you set will become a party for those beast brats.
As always, thinking like a bear. Who said were building near the Paleo tribes settlement? Do you think I would pick such a place?
Chiyou flicked her index finger from side to side. All eyes in the collapsed Chesi Village were drawn to her hand.
To make the most money at a festival you need to set up a stall right where the festival happens. Sasuke will return in ten days, then well leave for the New Continent immediately. Get ready.
Chiyou spoke decisively. The outsiders of Yamato erupted in an excited cheer, Woo-woo-woo-woo!
As they erupted in an excited cheer, Prea was shocked by Chiyous confident and bold plan and the background to implement it. She knew Chiyou wasnt just a simple dancer, but what was all this? An intelligence guild? Shinobigumi?
She wondered if she understood everything correctly.
She changed her mind because of her? What did that mean?
Before Nara could fully grasp the meaning, Leeha provided her own explanation.
Surprise! After experiencing a surprise from you, Nara-ssi, I really got excited. I need to recover from surgery here before I go back to Korea. I dont want my mom to faint from shock.
You meant that because of me?
Yes! Uh, it might be a bit weird to say this to you, Nara-ssi, but I kind of understand how Petyr felt. Just thinking about it makes my heart race-
Oh my
Shin Nara shook her head.
She felt that Leeha was reliable at times and not so much at others.
By the way, Nara-ssi, when are you going back to Korea?
I dont know. Originally, I planned to go shopping with Leeha-ssi, visit Macau to try egg tarts, and go to famous dim sum places.
Ah, really? I should have told you earlier. Sorry-
No, no, you dont need to worry about it. I came here secretly, so its not something for Leeha-ssi to be concerned about.
Nara quickly waved her hands dismissively and smiled. Amidst the pleasant atmosphere and conversation, time flew quickly. As the surgery approached, Ram Hwajung, Kijung, and Bobae also returned to the hospital. As nurses began to busily move Leeha to the operating table, the atmosphere in the room became tense.
Hyung, dont be too nervous. You got this, right?
How can I be nervous under anesthesia? I wont even be able to feel it.
Oh, thats so like you, Leeha-ssi, Bobae remarked, although Leehas words made Kijung burst into laughter.
Kijungs laughter eased Leehas expression a bit, which was tense due to the atmosphere. Leeha knew the atmosphere was tense. It was impossible not to feel nervous in such a situation. In times like these, jokes were necessary. With the mood slightly lightened, the gurney finally moved. Along with the nurses, Kijung, Bobae, and Nara also followed Leeha. At the door of the hospital room, a familiar redhead appeared.
Ha Leeha! Ready?
What am I supposed to prepare? The doctor will take care of everything.
Seeing how you talk, you seem fine.
Ah, right, Ram Hwayeon-ssi!
Hm?
I wanted to properly thank you before.
Forget it. We agreed to do that after the surgery.
Ram Hwayeon remembered. What Leeha meant by saying thank you involved a specific action.
However, Leehas nod was somewhat irritating to her.
And, one more thing. I was too scared to ask Doctor Heinrich properly.
What is it?
Rattle, rattle.
Even from the gurney, Leehas voice didnt tremble as she asked Ram Hwayeon.
Can I play Middle Earth right after the surgery?
What, what?
Ram Hwayeon paused for a moment, Shin Nara choked, and the question made Bobae and Kijung sigh.
