Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 252: I asked you to cause trouble. Are you dancing on the player's back scale?

"enough!"

With a roar, Andrew threw the ink bottle in his hand, causing it to shatter on Sheldon's face.

The black ink exploded and smeared, making Sheldon's expression look funny and ridiculous.

If someone dared to treat him like this, he would have chopped off the other person's head long ago.

But now Sheldon didn't even dare to speak out loud, or even wipe off the ink that had flowed to his eyelids, for fear of offending the man in front of him.

Andrew considers himself a nobleman on weekdays. Whether he speaks or eats, he is slow and slow, and rarely shows his emotional ups and downs.

But now he looked furious, his face was ferocious and twisted, and his meticulously groomed goatee was trembling slightly along with his body.

Angry, extremely angry.

If it hadn't been for the small group leader who came to him today to complain, saying that he had lost several boxes of equipment.

While he launched a camp-wide investigation, he also sent people to carefully check his own supplies, but they couldn't find any problems here!

If other people lose things, it's because a few guys who like petty theft have brought their good habits to the underground plain.

And when I lost something, it was inexplicably robbed several times in a row, but I couldn't even catch the thief afterwards!

But Sheldon, as the general person in charge of the underground plain, had never mentioned such a serious and terrifying situation to himself.

This is really...

"Sir, I just don't want you to worry, and those things are really thrown away. I have already filled the gap through other means!"

Throw away?

Of course it was thrown away!

Do you think I trust you so much that I don’t send anyone to keep an eye on you?

Besides, there is not a single living person within dozens of miles, so it is simply impossible for you to take away and digest those things.

But is that the point?

The point is that you can hide this thing from me, so how many other things are you hiding from me?

As a true rebel, Andrew deeply understands the importance of his subordinates.

If you have the right subordinates to help you, you can get twice the result with half the effort, just like you did before.

And if not, you will be like your own alliance leader, living like a stupid blind person every day!

But now, the most capable person under him, the most trustworthy person, did not even inform him that such an important thing happened.

That's too much. Does he still have me as the leader in his eyes? ?

The more Andrew thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He felt so aggrieved that he was about to lose his gold.

Sheldon, who was covered in cold sweat behind his back, looked at the gloomy-looking leader who was silent and unable to say a word.

Therefore, he was relatively speechless, and the atmosphere in the temporary office became increasingly heavy.

But anger cannot solve the problem. Even if the insider is liquidated, it can only be done after the fact.

Andrew thought about it and decided to advance some future arrangements to avoid any further troubles.

"Sheldon, immediately lead someone to form an envoy group. I want to go to the Demonic Tribe in person to meet Chief Baptiste. This matter must not be delayed any longer!"

So he quickly counted a few of his men, and Andrew led the people to the Magic Forest.

But before he even got close, he felt an aura that was extremely raw and cold, with a sense of rejection.

Sheldon's expression froze.

"Master, the first time I visited the Demon Spirit Tribe, I felt that they did not welcome outsiders."

"What? Haven't we already reached an agreement to become allies? They must have recognized the wrong person, right?"

Andrew didn't believe in evil and decided to wave his hand.

"Come here, let us know and tell them that we are friends of the Cyclops - mountain mercenaries!"

But when his men tried to enter the forest, they were directly blocked by a light green magic circle, and a distant sound came from it.

"The Demon Spirit Tribe has decided to put down its weapons and embark on the road of cooperation with the dungeon. Friends from outside should be invited back."

"This……"

Another accident made Andrew's eyes widen and he gritted his teeth.

Even the wording he used to address himself had changed. Was he actually being manipulated by those humans in the dungeon?

... His men were missing, supplies were lost, and even the two "knives" that had clearly been negotiated were taken away in two days.

The already stable winning situation was ruined in this way, bringing everything back to where it started.

Andrew's face was ashen, and he had no choice but to lead his men back to the camp.

After Sheldon closed the door, he slumped down at the desk like a puppet with its strings cut off, grabbing his hair irritably.

"Damn, I..."

Like water from a spring spring, a series of extremely obscene but also extremely obscene swear words spewed out of his mouth.

He couldn't believe that these words came out of his own mouth. You should know that he was usually the most disdainful, but these were the dirty words that frequently involved other people's relatives and certain organs.

But now that I have said it, I feel really good...

"Yes, yes, that's it, keep scolding, feel good!"

He was scolding with excitement and couldn't hold back the smile on his lips. Unfortunately, his reserve of swear words was so small that he couldn't think of any new words just after he got to the point of scolding.

Unable to rage, he could only cover his head with his coat.

"what!!!"

After spitting out all the depressed air in his heart, Andrew finally regained his composure.

Think of Andrew! Since they have lost consecutively, the Blazers will naturally win consecutively.

Put yourself in your shoes, if you were the winner, what would you do next?

——Of course, they used their superior strength to drive out the last enemy, the [mountain mercenaries].

Therefore, if he guessed correctly, they would launch a general attack by threatening first and then taking action at the earliest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Even if dozens of mercenary groups are combined together, they will never be able to withstand the entire underground plain joining forces, but this does not mean that they cannot operate.

After all, according to the reports of many mercenaries, for some reason, when the outside time is daytime, the number of pioneers wandering outside the underground city will decrease sharply. This is obviously an opportunity.

So he decided to remove all the superior troops currently in the camp and divide them into several teams to plunder the pioneer market and the caravans sent by the underground city.

In the name of supplying supplies and selling goods, they took people away and evacuated in batches.

Then use the "wealth of the upside-down castle" as a temptation to let these extremely stupid little group leaders stay here as their queen.

In this way, not only can you make a lot of money, but all the promises you made can be invalidated because the other party is already dead.

It can also take over the power of those small mercenary groups in Sunshine City, and it is even possible to earn back the capital and profits, and forcefully turn defeat into victory.

Andrew was almost cheered by his intelligence. He was able to find a way out in such a declining situation. He was simply a born Marquis of the North!

But after feeling complacent, he became depressed again.

Failed plans can be restored, but what about lost hearts and minds?

Galamy died because of betrayal, Bales lacked the ability to adapt, Johnson was loyal but incompetent, and the only reliable Sheldon is still like this... Close your eyes and think carefully, I will not be able to even have a single person in the future. Everyone who helped me is gone.

He took out a pen and started writing names on the team list. He sighed, but Ji Ming's face suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Oh, it's so painful. If only everyone could be as simple as Ji Mingshenxuan."

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

"what?"

Andrew exclaimed and looked around in horror, but the scenery around him was still the same as before, nothing had changed.

"Weird."

He could only touch the back of his neck suspiciously and flick the pen tip.

"Hey, maybe it's because I've been hit too hard in the past few days and I'm hallucinating. I actually heard Ji Ming's voice out of thin air..."

Ji Ming, who stood aside and watched him write the sneak attack plan: Yes, what's going on?

As a spiritual magic created by the angel family, [Suggestion] has a very broad application prospect.

In addition to less important functions such as [Mind Control], [Time Stop], [Sensory Interruption], and [Moral Degeneration], it can also be used for some espionage activities.

For example, after seeing Andrew leading people back to the camp in anger, he followed the team and then watched him bully Sheldon.

Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why criminals like to return to the scene of the crime afterward. It is extremely satisfying to watch the guy who was framed by him suffer bad luck.

but……

Andrew's ability to manage emotions is pretty good, so how could he devise such a death-defying plan?

You even dare to do this... If you are asked to cause trouble, you have to repeatedly jump on the player's reverse scale, right?

Forget it, just be willing to die. It’s also good to increase the player’s strength occasionally, so that they can feel the sinister people outside in advance, so as to avoid overturning the situation later.

At the end of the plan, when Andrew was hesitating whether to return to Sunshine City directly with the goods or stay nearby to provide support, Ji Ming made some small help.

"Yes, we can't leave directly. If these mercenaries run back, I'm afraid I will suffer!"

"Kill, we must stop them outside and kill them!"

...Hey, hey, this is not my suggestion, I just added weight to the choice of [staying outside]!

But just when Ji Ming was worried about whether his merit would drop due to actively harming others, he was surprised to find that it actually increased again.

Yes, after all, these mercenaries are all tough beasts. Wouldn't it be a great pleasure to die in anyone's hands?

After "discussing" with Andrew where his camp outside should be located, Ji Ming, who obtained the detailed coordinates, left the mercenary camp with satisfaction.

It is still "night" at this moment, and the underground plain is still the home field of the players. They are unaware of the crisis and are still developing in full swing.

"After working hard for nearly two months, it's finally your turn to help me. Don't let me down."

Early the next morning, Ji Ming came to the materials store opposite his home.

This was the first time that Blois heard him proactively request training, and he couldn't even believe his ears.

After staring at him for a long time, he raised his voice.

"Young man, have you encountered difficulties in your life? Why are you so confused?"

It turns out that you also know that daily training is equivalent to a continuous beating...

But tonight is a big day that I have planned for a long time, and I can't be too prepared for such an important occasion.

Therefore, Ji Ming insisted on coming to the church with Blois for tactical training, which was considered as a way to sharpen his skills before the battle.

Although the free attribute points are almost used, the almost continuous increase in merit due to trapping mercenaries and opening clinics has become a new reinforcement.

He also performed exceptionally well in the battle. He should have been lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, but for the first time he remained standing without falling after the training.

In Blois' eyes, all this turned into a question.

"You look very excited today. Are you looking forward to something?"

After drinking half a bottle of spirit-gathering liquid, Ji Ming decided to become the Riddler in order to ensure that the plan was foolproof.

"Teacher, remember not to sleep too much tonight, the big one is coming...Grandma, I say! Put down the gun!"

He didn't lower his voice until he watched Blois put the half-broken training gun back into his storage bag.

"God gave me a revelation, saying that what I have been looking forward to will happen tonight, and asked me to activate my muscles in advance to wait for the opportunity to come."

God of Holy Light: Huh?

Listening to Ji Ming's lies, Blois was thoughtful and suddenly thought of something.

He hesitated for a moment with his mouth open, then took out a small pink medicine bottle from the bracelet with a complicated expression.

"Although you are still young, remember to take care of your health."

……

"No, not that!"

Blois frowned and said sternly.

"Adele is okay, but that one is definitely not okay. Her relationship is too complicated and you can't grasp it!"

"No... oh, it's not about that direction, it's a big deal!"

Since the last time the undead army captured the Adventurer Association building, with the tacit approval of all parties, the Holy Light Church's intelligence network has suddenly increased a lot.

Of course, while monitoring the possibility of strange events happening in the city, like Batman, they are also wary of something more dangerous.

For Ji Ming, this is a big deal, and it can make him so excited that he "don't sleep too much"...

"Mercenary!"

"Andrew has left Sunshine City with several mercenary groups to start an expedition for several days. Is it their business?"

Damn, what kind of detective are you? You can guess this right?

Ji Ming quickly pretended to be enlightened.

"Actually, I don't know what kind of good thing it will be, but from what you said, it seems that is the only possibility!"

"Um……"

Blois pondered for a moment.

"If there is a problem with the mercenaries going on the expedition, then they will definitely send people back to Sunshine City to ask for help. Although they will definitely not be able to directly confront them, I will send people to intercept around Sunshine City, just... how about in the name of catching weird spies? "

"wonderful!"

Now that even the last accident has been taken care of by the teacher, at least Ji Ming can no longer think of any possibility of failure.

Walking out of the church door, he had looked up at the dim, dark cloud-covered sky in Sunshine City countless times, but today's sunset seemed particularly bright.

The time for playing house is over. Since you are not willing to leave gracefully, I can only provide some small help.
