Lily suspected that her act of going to the Wildfire Gang to farm gold had been exposed, but that wasn't right. The Wildfire Gang didn't have surveillance, and she had repeatedly confirmed there was no one else around at the time.
In any case, if the matter was truly exposed, she would have no choice but to send the Wildfire Gang Leader on his way.
In the past, she was indeed no match for the Wildfire Gang Leader, but things were different now. Her physique was now as high as 29 points, and she had also acquired two bottles of blood potion from Yulia's laboratory. This was enough for her to wear down the Wildfire Gang Leader, whose strength was similar to that of Number Seven and Number Nine, until he died.
However, the development of events was still somewhat beyond her expectation.
"I came to say goodbye to you."
"Goodbye?"
Lily was stunned.
The Wildfire Gang Leader said with a bitter smile, "I am involved with the Truth Society. As soon as the Gene Primordial's reinforcements arrive tomorrow, I will surely be arrested immediately. This should be our last meeting."
"This… Leader, are you planning to run away?"
"I'm not planning to run. If I'm caught by the Gene Primordial, I still have a chance to live, but if I'm caught by the Truth Society, I'm dead for sure. Forget it, let's not talk about this."
The Wildfire Gang Leader stared at Lily.
Now he was filled with emotion, mixed with a hint of pride.
Yes, pride!
As early as when Mark targeted Lily, he had seen that Lily was extraordinary, believing that Lily could take over the Wildfire Gang after he left to join the Truth Society and lead the Wildfire Gang to new heights.
Facts proved that he was not mistaken at all. Lily repeatedly achieved merits, and in this Insect Swarm attack incident, she even stepped forward to end the Insect Swarm, becoming the Savior of the Abandoned Cooling Plant.
With Lily's performance, how could she not be a good Wildfire Gang Leader?
This fully illustrated that although he lost, it wasn't his fault. His judgment was perfectly fine. The fault lay with the three idiots of the Truth Society, with the timing that insisted on causing him trouble, and with the world that targeted him everywhere!
"What a pity."
The Wildfire Gang Leader shook his head.
"Lily, I originally planned to hand over the Wildfire Gang to your care after joining the Truth Society. I've always thought highly of you. It's truly rare to find ambitious young people like you these days. I believe that with our cooperation, we could take the Wildfire Gang a step further. It's just that now we can no longer cooperate. I just went back to the Wildfire Gang, and I don't know which cursed person smashed open the vault door, and all the money inside was moved out completely."
The money was gone, and he, the gang leader, was also gone. The Wildfire Gang was essentially finished.
He suddenly let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with resentment. When he saw the vault in such a state that even rats would disdain it, he was almost choked with anger.
However, on second thought, since he was about to be arrested anyway, the money being gone didn't seem like such a big deal anymore.
"I'm passing on the position of Wildfire Gang Leader to you. Whether you want to take it is up to you. Oh, and this is my last bit of savings. If I keep it, the Gene Primordial will just confiscate it anyway, so it's better to give it all to you."
As he spoke, the Wildfire Gang Leader took out a card, saying there were still 30,000 credit points on it.
Lily's expression became extremely strange as she took the card.
She knew that the Wildfire Gang Leader still had a private stash, but she never expected him to voluntarily hand it over to her, and she certainly didn't expect the Wildfire Gang Leader to transfer the entire faction to her at the last minute.
Do not underestimate this faction transfer; with it, she could arrange for more people to work for her, and she could also use the faction to delve deeper into her own identity, thereby attracting more players to her.
Lily was so moved that she could barely speak.
Wildfire Gang Leader, he really, I'm crying!
What is a top-ranked big brother? This is what a true top-ranked big brother is. Big Biao Ge is nothing compared to the Wildfire Gang Leader. If she could successfully break out of Origin Star in the future and delve into the wider world, then the Wildfire Gang Leader would account for one-third of the credit.
"Leader, I will remember you!"
The Wildfire Gang Leader smiled and nodded, "It's good that you have this in your heart. Alright, it's getting late. I won't bother you anymore, lest you be implicated by me."
He turned and left, muttering "What a pity, what a pity" as he walked.
Minutes later, his figure finally disappeared around the corner.
Lily tucked the card into her pocket and opened the faction system. As the Lord of the faction, she could now make various settings for it.
"Let's change the name first."
What's the deal with still using the name Wildfire Gang?
Lily changed the faction name from [Wildfire Gang] to [Silent Garden].
Don't understand what this name means?
That's right, you shouldn't!
Lily didn't understand it either; what she wanted was precisely this effect of inexplicable awe, only then could she better fool players.
After changing the name, she closed the faction system. Other things weren't important; she could slowly adjust them later when she had fooled people into joining.
Closing the door, Lily returned to the room. She had only been sitting for a dozen minutes when she suddenly received a new game prompt.
[Plot Participation Confirmation (0%...23%...100%)]
[Character Setting Correction (0%...11%...)]
Wait, could it be that the big one she had been waiting for was finally here?
Lily's breathing suddenly quickened.
When the data correction progress reached 100%, she seemed to hear celestial music in her ears.
[You have gained the Talent [Luck]]
[Luck]: You are naturally luckier than Ordinary people. When making judgments, success rate +10%
It's here, it's here, the enhancement she had been waiting for is finally here!
Lily was so excited her hands were trembling. This meant that her idea of strengthening herself by increasing popularity was correct.
