Chapter 1389: 458. Straight to the heart


    Two monthster.


    Inside the storage warehouse of the ck Hole Magic Academy.


    The Snow-winged Cat shuttled gracefully between the ss jars filled with Angel Crystals, trailing brilliant light.


    It was helping Nnd Lee check the inventory of Angel Crystals in the warehouse.


    After half an hour had passed, the Snow-winged Cat flew onto Nnd’s shoulder, affectionately rubbing against his cheek and meowing out a string of numbers.


    Nnd rubbed the kitty’s chin with his fingers and couldn’t help but exim:


    ...


    “The yers have really been giving it their all. Terrifying, terrifying. I originally thought it would take a full three months to gather enough Angel Crystals. I didn’t expect that just 65 days would suffice to meet the requirements for rescuing the Assassin Angel’s true form.”


    Looking back at the past couple of months, the state of the yers could only be described as “obsessed.”


    The grunt workers, casual yers, and old toy yers, all were engrossed in the thrill of trading Angel Crystals for money.


    Professional yers each yed their roles, either as middlemen hyping up Angel Crystals, or leading the Plundering Team to raid for Angel Crystals.


    Some even established arge guild specifically targeting the Angel Enterprise Alliance, named “Angel’s Guillotine.”


    All the yers could find their ce in the dispute between the Academy and the Alliance, with none of them willing to avoid money and fall intoziness, hiding behind others to ck off.


    So, the warehouse had so many Angel Crystals that it was bursting, and Nnd had to move up the n to rescue the Assassin Angel.


    “Let’s set the Task for the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the yers’ Friday. I’m sure that releasing a campaign Task on a Friday night will maximize the yers’ enthusiasm. Chances are, the Assassin Angel might break free from its seal that very night.”


    Nnd thought to himself and headed back to the Dean’s office, expertly contacting Cucumber Slice, who was a spy deep within the Alliance.


    “You’ve been doing well in the Alliancetely, haven’t you?” Nnd asked in his mind.


    The voice of Cucumber Slice rang out, cheerfully responding:


    “Yes, boss. Thanks to your blessing, I’m about to be an official pilot for the Artificial Angels.”


    At that moment, Cucumber Slice was enjoying a nutritious meal in the dining hall of the space station.


    The dining hall featured a massive grid-like floor-to-ceiling window, with the universe outside backlit in pale blue, tranquil and alluring.


    Anticipating his life in the past two months, Cucumber Slice couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up to GM boss.


    What was promised was delivered, every promise kept.


    Outside the game, Cucumber Slice used the exclusive game insight provided by GM boss to release tutorial videos rted to the Angel Enterprise Alliance, significantly boosting the reputation of their studio.


    To put it simply, just cing ads for certain products in their videos now could bring in over a million in earnings.


    All thanks to GM Boss.


    Without the intelligence provided by GM, Cucumber Slice reckoned it would have taken several times the effort to reach today’s achievements.


    Moreover, inside the game, GM had not been stingy with him either.


    The Academy Faction of yers wanted to plunder Angel Crystals, right?


    That worked out perfectly, as Cucumber Slice could learn about the yers’ movements through GM, and then volunteer to serve at the space stations or ground bases about to be raided by yers.


    Using his knowledge of the yers, Cucumber Slice, along with his brothers Winter Melon and Kelp, organized several raids by the yers to plunder Angel Crystals, protecting the Alliance’s assets.


    After several battles, Cucumber Slice and his brothers Winter Melon and Kelp, though not officially certified yet, had earnedbat achievementsparable to formal pilots.


    The principle “The tree that sticks out gets the wind” was clear to Nnd.


    To prevent Cucumber Slice and his brothers from standing out too much, Nnd had specifically asked Cucumber Slice to take along other yers who had joined the Alliance to share in thebat achievements.


    There’s a saying, “One who eats the fruit should at least praise the grower.”


    Combat achievements worked the same way.


    Thanks to the insider information from Cucumber Slice, the yers who followed him made a handsome profit.


    Gradually, Cucumber Slice’s status among the Alliance yers rose significantly.


    A group of them simply set up a chat group exclusive to Alliance yers, where they exchanged intelligence daily and shared tips on dealing with Academy Faction yers.


    Nnd would often check the chat group’s condition through Cucumber Slice’s perspective.


    In the beginning, the chat group had around 30 people.


    As of today, the number had increased more than tenfold, reaching nearly 500.


    That meant at least 500 yers had joined the Alliance—this didn’t even include those who hadn’t joined the chat group.


    If used well, such a force could have a miraculous effect.


    Knowing Cucumber Slice followed GM’s instructions diligently, Nnd decided to inform him of some matters in advance to prepare him mentally:


    “Cucumber Slice, we actually have preliminary investigation results about the disorder in the brainwork’s functioning,” Nnd said.


    “Oh?” Cucumber Slice’s interest piqued, and he quickly asked:


    “What exactly causes this confusion in the brainwork?”


    After finishing his question, Cucumber Slice added:


    “If it involves yourpany’s secrets, just pretend I didn’t ask.”


    Nnd chuckled and replied:


    “It does involve secrets, but I need to tell you because we need the help of you and the group of yers who have joined the Alliance to solve this problem.”


    “All right, please go ahead, GM boss,” Cucumber Slice said, settling down to listen attentively, his heart beating with anticipation.
