And after what happened last night, Anya's attitude towards him had clearly improved a lot; she no longer used pitifully low-reward tasks to order him around like before.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky felt this was the perfect opportunity he had been hoping for. To achieve his goal quickly, he completely abandoned his pride, calling Anya "Sister Anya" repeatedly and occasionally offering her Wasteland Cola and desserts like cake, making Anya laugh heartily.
Excavation Princess, Calamity Dragon, Convert to My Lily: "..."
Damn it, calling a little girl'sister,' your face is really thick!
Though they were complaining inwardly, Excavation Princess and the others didn't stop him.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky was willing to do it himself, so what did they have to say? Besides, they were quite looking forward to Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky extracting some interesting Information from Anya.
So far, their understanding of Lily was still too little, mostly vague information. If they could get accurate Information, who would want to guess?
Hard work pays off. After showering Anya and Lily with praises, making them sound like the only ones of their kind in the world, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky finally succeeded in getting Anya to open up.
"That female assassin last night was really amazing. I didn't even see what happened before she disappeared from in front of me. It's a pity she shouldn't have targeted Sister Lily and Sister Anya. No matter how capable she was, she still fell down with just a glare from Sister Lily!"
"Hmph, that's the Boss!" Anya happily gulped down some Wasteland Cola, her little tail almost wagging to the sky with pride. "Let me tell you, let alone the Boss, even the old me could easily defeat her!"
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky's eyes lit up, and he quickly poured Anya another glass of cola: "As expected of Sister Anya! Does Sister Anya also have old injuries like Sister Lily?"
Anya waved her hand: "No, I have special medical superpowers. This ability can not only save people but also strengthen myself, but later my ability was sealed."
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Good, new Information obtained. The next step is to slowly lead the conversation towards Lily."
"Hiss--" Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky deliberately gasped, "So, if Sister Anya's ability hadn't been sealed, wouldn't you be able to help Sister Lily heal her hidden injuries? The person who sealed your ability is truly a scoundrel!"
Anya seemed to find agreement: "Exactly, exactly! If my ability hadn't been sealed, the Boss wouldn't be injured, and now she wouldn't have to drag me around here and there, looking for a way to unseal me."
As she spoke, she stomped her foot fiercely.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky's pupils suddenly constricted when he heard this.
He understood.
He completely understood!
Before, they all thought Lily was secretly investigating the Truth Society at the Abandoned Cooling Plant to find a way to leave Origin Star, but now it seemed her main purpose was actually to find a way to unseal Anya.
This was crucial Information! He would definitely be rewarded if he told the Truth Society.
But that wasn't enough. He had to find a way to further understand what Lily wanted. It would be even better if Anya accidentally let slip Lily's true identity.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky was full of confidence in this. He had already found a secret weapon against Anya. Children, after all, loved to hear others praise them. Once Anya was praised to the point of forgetting herself, he wouldn't even need to actively ask; Anya would spill a lot of Information like pouring beans.
One could only say that Lily, though clever for a lifetime, was foolish for a moment. Instead of properly covering Anya's mouth, this big leak, she sent Anya to him.
"Sister Anya, you..."
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky spoke again. This time, he had barely called out a name when he saw Anya clutching her stomach and shouting.
"Oh, my stomach, my stomach hurts so much. I need to go to the bathroom."
Anya jumped off the chair and darted into the bathroom.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky's eyelids twitched wildly. This was too coincidental. It wouldn't be so easy to get Information from Anya once she calmed down.
He waited helplessly for over half an hour. During this time, Anya ran to the bathroom Four Directions times. By the time Lily came to pick her up, he still hadn't found an opportunity to continue asking questions.
No choice, he'd have to wait for next time.
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky secretly contacted other members of the guild and taught them his method of extracting Information from Anya.
Although he thought Anya's brain wouldn't notice anything unusual, what if he asked too much and aroused Anya's suspicion?
It was better to let others have some participation.
"Lily!"
Seeing Lily arrive, Excavation Princess and the others quickly gathered around her.
Now that they had all unlocked advanced professions, they should be able to trigger further quests related to Lily.
"Come in."
Accompanied by Lily's call, Shino walked in from outside the door.
Everyone was puzzled.
Shino went straight to the point: "During the meeting just now, Lily recommended you to Four Directions, hoping that you could also join the operation. The director was a bit hesitant, but she fully vouched for you, and the director finally agreed. I am here now to inquire about your opinions."
You have triggered the quest [Special Operation].
Quest Description: Four Directions has formulated a special operation targeting foreign Wanderer. Under Lily's guarantee, Four Directions allows you to join.
