Speaking of intelligence, Lily had successfully planted spies within the Gene Primordial.
Most of the Iron Rain Guild players had joined the Gene Primordial, and due to Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky, these players were now continuously transmitting intelligence to her.
In addition, several players who had good relationships with Patrick Star and Excavation Princess were unable to reach the 11th Shelter due to the long distance, so they resorted to "saving the country through a roundabout way," attempting to increase her favorability by revealing information about the Truth Society to her.
[When Lily arrives, that will be the time for us to rise up!]
In short, Lily accepted everything.
Besides discussions about Lily and the 11th Shelter, many players in the community also focused on Psionic Apprentice professions.
[By the way, how is the combat power of Psionic Apprentice professions?]
A large group of players flooded into related discussion threads, including some gaming veterans who had just switched from other games.
At this point, a knowledgeable player stepped forward.
[Psionic Apprentice professions are more support-oriented in the early stages. If you like the thrill of combat, it's best not to choose it. Even if you do, you must also minor in a combat-oriented profession.]
[Psionic Apprentice professions + combat professions are quite powerful, but the problem is that two professions require double the experience, making it easy to fall behind in the early stages.]
[Ah, no way, Lily is also a Psionic Apprentice profession, but isn't she super strong?]
[Brother, Lily is an NPC. NPCs have many bonuses that players don't have, so you can't compare them like that.]
[Ah, didn't the official statement say that players also have a chance to unlock those NPC bonuses?]
[Really? I don't believe it!]
Messing up my plans, huh?
Lily wasn't flustered; she already had a plan.
"Now many players see me as the protagonist of the new version. Since I'm the protagonist, I should display the strength and performance a protagonist should have."
She decided to make the operation against Graham the first major event for the Silent Garden faction, which would be the "main quest" in the players' eyes. As for the true main quest in the Goli Desert region, Watchers Elegy, she hadn't even received it herself yet, so how could she share it with players?
"I still need to properly 'interrogate' Little Yulia and Old Nissen to make them hand over the main quest as soon as possible."
Lily took out Little Yulia.
"Tomorrow I'm going to interrogate Graham. Don't you have anything to say?"
Little Yulia lay in her palm, speaking earnestly: "Actually, you don't need to take this risk at all. If you just give yourself to me and let me properly study your body, I can find a way to escape and then personally rescue those people."
Lily pouted: "Don't dream. Forget my body, I won't even give you a single hair!"
Little Yulia did not feel disappointed by the rejection.
Rather, she had already known Lily would say that.
It doesn't matter. If you don't give it, won't I figure out a way to pluck one from you myself?
I'll pluck you bald when the time comes!
Lily said: "Tell me about Graham. You can't possibly know nothing about him, right?"
Little Yulia said: "Graham is the Deputy Director of the Truth Society's Special Operations Department. He is known in the Special Operations Department for his keen observation skills and formidable strength. On the surface, he is a Martial Artist, skilled with dual blades. If you investigate, that's probably all the information you'll find."
Lily nodded. Little Yulia wasn't wrong; the information she had obtained from the Dark Web was indeed only that much.
Graham's blades were not Ordinary blades, but extraordinary blades that could cut out qi blades. It was said that the qi blades he cut out could even pierce steel, let alone the fragile human body.
But, steel…
Lily touched herself.
Steel of Ordinary thickness didn't seem as hard as imagined.
"But if that's all there is to it, Graham definitely wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Deputy Director of the Special Operations Department," Little Yulia added, "He's actually also a superpower user. His superpower is Capture."
"Capture?"
"High-speed visual capture. When he uses his superpower, the world in his eyes slows down. No matter how complex the movements, he will capture them, and he will have ample time to think about how to respond to his opponent's moves. This is the secret to his power. Once he gets close, the situation will become very bad."
So that's how it is. It's indeed a very good superpower, but if this is all of Graham's trump cards, then Lily felt relieved.
She was the Super Durable King, specializing in not being afraid no matter how fast or reactive her opponent was.
"The key is the people around Graham."
Lily understood, but she wouldn't relax her guard against Graham. Who knew if Graham had another trick up his sleeve?
"Is there anything else you want me to help you with?" Lily tried asking.
Little Yulia said: "Let me examine your body."
Never mind, you may withdraw.
Lily felt that the initiator of the regional main quest was most likely Old Nissen, but there was still a lack of an opportune moment.
That could wait. The immediate priority was to deal with Graham.
She had already received news from her spy that Graham had gone on a mission to cause trouble for the Gene Primordial. This was a good opportunity.
Seeing that the new players had adapted quite well, Lily issued a faction quest to eliminate sand worms, and then selected the ten new players who performed best in the quest.
"Next, there will be an important operation concerning the future of the Goli Desert, and I need your strength!"
It's here, it's here! They had all been looking forward to the main quest and the version protagonist's storyline!
Watching Lily walk out gracefully, all the players became excited.
