Chapter 83: Ethan Hunt's Anxiety

Following Zhao Yuxin's research, she finally succeeded in creating a new item—the Micro Plant Creation Array.

Name: Micro Plant Creation Array

Quality: White

Description: This is an item created by the player Zhao Yuxin. It can temporarily deploy a Plant Modification Array. By throwing plants into it and adding the corresponding materials along with the player's Magic Power, one can create new plants.

{Note: To reduce unnecessary trouble for the creator, this item can only use the accompanying plant recipes, and this item can only be used three times. }

"Ajiu, look, I succeeded!" Zhao Yuxin hugged the Micro Plant Creation Array and ran to Zhu Zhiquan's side. "And the system told me I created an item, and it even thoughtfully opened up an exclusive crafting interface for me!"

Zhu Zhiquan silently stroked her head while eating ice cream.

After finishing the ice cream, the group followed their plan to harass four Black Rope Bandit Group strongholds, successfully snatched back Ling Xi and her husband's Tricycle, and also obtained quite a lot of supplies.

During this time, they also encountered the Black Mouth Bandit Group engaging in battle with the Black Rope Bandit Group several times. The four of them suddenly struck when both sides were exhausted and seized another batch of supplies.

Of course, their main target was the Black Rope Bandit Group; robbing the Black Mouth Bandit Group players was just incidental. After Jiugong Xizi saw through the four's intentions, she chose, upon the group's suggestion, not to attack the Black Rope Bandit Group at this time.

Having been raided by Zhu Zhiquan and the others so many times, Ethan Hunt's expression was very ugly; after all, the losses caused by Zhu Zhiquan were even more severe than those from the Black Mouth Bandit Group they were currently at war with.

Added to this, all of this was because of his retaliation against Zhu Zhiquan and the others' extortion, leading to many people now gossiping about him.

But if he were to swallow his pride and invite them back? Wouldn't his wise and mighty image be ruined?

As for trying to kick these two out of the Player Group and hoping the system could force them to quit, don't even think about it; you cannot expel anyone during a Player Group war!

Although the Black Mouth Bandit Group had stopped their all-out attack, anyone could see that the Black Mouth Bandit Group intended to let those four rats underground wear them down!

Anyway, looking at the position of the sun, one could tell there were at least two or three hours left until the end of the Player Group war, and they were not in a hurry at all.

Thinking of this, Ethan Hunt couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth inside the tent.

Inside this tent, several of Ethan Hunt's confidants sat on both sides, discussing in hushed tones.

Finally, he stomped his feet and said resentfully: "Fuck, fuck! I didn't expect these four guys to be so troublesome. If this continues, our advantage will definitely be wiped out!

If I had known, I wouldn't have turned against them when they were down just for those few supplies! What to do? What to do!?"

Watching one of his confidants drinking coffee leisurely, Ethan Hunt couldn't help but have veins pop out on his forehead. "Kai Wenyue, say something!"

Among the many confidants, a man wearing a suit who took a sip of coffee and adjusted his monocle, dressed like an aristocrat, was the Black Rope Bandit Group Deputy Regiment Leader Kai Wenyue.

Kai Wenyue said to Ethan Hunt: "Oh, my Regiment Leader, don't be angry. This Sun Zi and Ling Xi, along with their two accomplices, are indeed formidable. I have a way to both eliminate these rats and maintain our advantage."

Ethan Hunt asked: "What way?"

Kai Wenyue explained: "Form an alliance with the Black Mouth Bandit Group to eliminate these four rats!"

"What!"

"Haven't these four rats already defected to the Black Mouth Bandit Group? How can we count on the Black Mouth Bandit Group to eliminate them?"

"Who knows how this Kai Wenyue..."

"Quiet!" Ethan Hunt shouted to stop everyone, then said to Kai Wenyue: "Then tell me how to form an alliance with the Black Mouth Bandit Group. Why would they ally with us?"

Kai Wenyue: "I have two methods. One is to cede a portion of our Banners to them, ensuring their Banners are equal in number to ours.

The other is for me to secretly kill Jiugong Xizi's younger brother, Jiugong Cilang, chop him into pieces, and frame them for it."

Ethan Hunt stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "Ceding Banners is too much of a loss, and it can't guarantee the sincerity of the Jiugong siblings. Going to kill Jiugong Cilang and frame them—that is a good idea."

"Very well, I will begin now." Kai Wenyue took out a bag filled with bottles, and inside the bottles was blood he had collected.

The main source of this was obtained by Kai Wenyue from within the Black Rope Bandit Group; whenever a Black Rope Bandit Group player had an ability he took a fancy to, Kai Wenyue would collect their blood.

This naturally included the blood of Sun Zi and Ling Xi, and quite a bit he had obtained from other players.

Kai Wenyue picked through them repeatedly. After selecting the blood of Sun Zi and Ling Xi, he picked out two more blood bottles.

Afterward, Kai Wenyue drew a Magic Array on the ground, placed the selected blood in the center of the array, and finally, Kai Wenyue chanted a long string of incantations. The entire Magic Array began to emit a ghostly blue light.

When the light dissipated, four blurry figures appeared in the Magic Array, including the phantoms of Sun Zi and Ling Xi.

"Go kill the Black Mouth Bandit Group Deputy Regiment Leader Jiugong Cilang, then chop him into pieces and leave behind the contact person who once acted as an undercover agent for the killer." Following Kai Wenyue's order, the four phantoms immediately flew in the direction of Jiugong Cilang.

Half an hour later, in an underground tunnel somewhere, the four of Zhu Zhiquan were very satisfied looking at the two Tricycles filled with supplies and blueprints.

Zhao Yuxin tugged on Zhu Zhiquan's arm and said: "Ajiu, I feel like these supplies are enough for both of our families to use for a while."

Sun Zi finished a bottle of snatched gin and said: "No matter what, we've finally vented our anger!"

"Husband, stop drinking, this is already the fourth bottle!" Ling Xi scolded Sun Zi, then opened the World Channel to see what news was inside.

Suddenly, a message sent by a player on the World Channel shocked her: "Everyone, look at the World Channel, someone is slandering us!"

Everyone opened their respective panels, feeling both angry and confused by the content above.

Black Mouth Bandit Group Chief Financial Officer: "Telling everyone some sad news: our Deputy Regiment Leader and the Regiment Leader's younger brother, Jiugong Cilang, was cruelly murdered by the four rats hiding underground! The corpse was even chopped into pieces by someone!

Now we have stopped the war with the Black Rope Bandit Group and decided to use the remaining time to solve the four rats underground together! If the four rats cannot be eliminated by the time the Player Group war ends, we ask all players to assist."

Black Rope Bandit Group CEO: "All the above statements by the Black Mouth Bandit Group are true. Now we will do our utmost to capture the traitors underground. All Black Rope Bandit Group players must immediately cooperate with the Black Mouth Bandit Group to capture the traitors!"

Duyan Chuanzhang: "What happened? Why are these two Player Groups cooperating?"

Fengye Qiaodu: "Whatever, let's just keep eating our melons."

…………………

Zhao Yuxin was the first to close her panel and said resentfully: "Fuck, what does Jiugong Cilang's death have to do with us! We have been robbing the Black Rope Bandit Group's camp the whole time; when would we have time to kill this person?"

Sun Zi opened another bottle of white liquor, drank it in one gulp, and still felt somewhat depressed: "Who knows what kind of madness they've caught? Anyway, we'll be teleported away after staying a little longer."

Ling Xi looked at the content on the World Channel and pondered for a long time, finally revealing a sly smile on her face.
