Chapter 320: Assassination Plan and Acting Skills
'Adam City is a second-tier main City, the closest to the Garna Sea, so it directly faces the threat of the Galle Pirates. As the key figures with real power, the City Lord, Deputy City Lord, and Commandant are the most infuriated NPCs.
Because of the existence of the Galle Pirates, Adam City, a sea City that should have achieved great things in the sea, has accomplished nothing in its maritime work, resulting in extremely poor political performance. This has led to these three officials having no hope of promotion, essentially being locked in their positions for life. Thus, a grudge was formed.'
'However, it is impossible to kill these three officials within the City. Not to mention the layers of Guards, even if they were killed, it would be impossible to escape the City.
In conclusion, we can start with the pirate masks, use false information to lure the three officials outside the City, then assassinate them, and finally present the certificate of allegiance. The specific operation is as follows...'
Lu Qingshui wrote nearly ten thousand words of operational details. Li Xiang was starting to doubt what her brain was made of, and how she could simulate the scenario and create a detailed plan in such a short time, from so far away, based only on the information he provided.
"President, this plan was made by me in conjunction with the new recruits I just hired. The new recruits are very enthusiastic~"
Seeing the new message from Lu Qingshui, Li Xiang's mouth curved into a smile. "Well done."
Now, he didn't need to doubt his own intelligence.
...
Zhushen Technology Company, in the conference room, a group of newly recruited employees stared in astonishment at the detailed plan drafted by Lu Qingshui in just over ten minutes.
"Okay, you guys polish it up and see if there are any detailed typos."
They were all stunned. After reading it several times, they found it to be simply perfect. They quickly corrected a few typos and submitted it to Lu Qingshui.
This was the entire process of the plan Li Xiang received.
...
Wearing a pirate mask, Li Xiang successfully entered Adam City as expected.
Compared to the cities in the Dragon Flame Empire, the architectural style of Adam City had more Western forms.
The level of mainstream players in the City was no different from that of players in the Dragon Flame Empire. If compared strictly, they couldn't match the players in Wu Shuang City.
The Dafen Empire also opened City, though the number was not as many as in the Dragon Flame Empire, there were still six.
However, most players still gathered in second-tier main cities. Unlike the Dragon Flame Empire, there were many Guild forces in the cities of the Dafen Empire, and the number of solo players was not too large.
The cost of establishing a Guild in a City was extremely high, so most Guilds would establish their Guild Residences in second-tier main cities to save costs.
This also led to the second-tier main cities of the Dafen Empire still being the main cities where players stayed.
Adam City, a second-tier main City with a million players, was very prosperous.
Being a leader in such a City should have made it easy to achieve political performance and get promoted, but unfortunately, due to the existence of the Galle Pirates, the three main figures of Adam City were unable to move up.
"What a realistic game..."
Muttering to himself, Li Xiang opened Lu Qingshui's plan document again, read it carefully, and then came to the City Lord's Mansion.
The Guard stopped Li Xiang.
Li Xiang respectfully said, "I have important information to report to the City Lord. It is about the Galle Pirates."
Hearing the words Galle Pirates, the Guard's expression visibly changed. Clearly, as Guards of this City, they also spoke of this name with dread.
"Please wait, I will go in and report immediately."
...
After a while, the Guard came out.
"I will take you to see the City Lord."
Then, Li Xiang was led inside, just as smoothly as stated in Lu Qingshui's plan.
...
A few minutes later, Li Xiang met City Lord Hara, and next to him was another person, Deputy City Lord Tukas.
Now, the two people to be killed were both present.
City Lord Hara, the NPC, got straight to the point, "You have news of the Galle Pirates?"
Li Xiang nodded.
"Yes, City Lord, I have news of the Galle Pirates."
"Oh, tell me in detail."
Li Xiang began to recount how he came here from the Dragon Flame Empire, encountered the pirate group, was attacked, fought to the death and killed some pirates, then escaped here, and then heard about Adam City's long-standing feud with the Galle Pirates, so he immediately came to report.
The story was half true and half false. It wasn't that simple to distinguish between truth and falsehood. This was the highest level of lying.
Deputy City Lord Tukas, the NPC, looked at Li Xiang, and said thoughtfully, "I know you, you are that foreigner who killed the Cannibal Island's Cannibal Commandant."
"That is me, Lord Tukas City Lord."
Li Xiang's choice of words was very deliberate, not including the word 'Deputy'.
Indeed, when Tukas heard this, his eyes flickered slightly.
He also hated the Galle Pirates to the bone. At his position, to move up, he had to wait for the people above him to be promoted or fall, only then would there be a vacancy.
In other words, unless City Lord Hara was promoted, his position would not change. Removing the word 'Deputy' before his title had almost become his obsession.
"So it was you... I was just wondering why the Galle Pirates were so heinous, but their members were all strong. You being able to kill the Cannibal Commandant indeed shows you have this strength."
"City Lord, the important information I am about to report is next."
"One of the pirates I killed seemed to be a high-level one. He had a list on him, and the list had you, Lord Tukas, and the Commandant. It was when I saw this list that I realized something was wrong. After coming to Adam City, I found that you were the person on the list, so I immediately came over."
Saying this, Li Xiang presented the list Vodka had given him.
City Lord Hara took the list and glanced at it, his pupils shrinking sharply.
"It's that guy's handwriting!!!"
Deputy City Lord Tukas also leaned over to take a look, and the same expression appeared, "It's Vodka's handwriting!"
Seeing their expressions, Li Xiang secretly thought, Qingshui's plan is simply a detail freak. She emphasized that he must hand over the original, and not transcribe a copy to hand in.
Looking at it now, it was all within her calculations.
Truly... terrifying...
After the two City Lords finished reading, their expressions were solemn, and they looked at Li Xiang, "This is an assassination list. The three people on this list are me, the Deputy City Lord, and the Commandant.
Did you hear any other news?"
Li Xiang's expression changed, and he said indignantly, "It's actually an assassination!
These pirates are truly audacious! They dare to assassinate the City Lord and the Commandant, they deserve ten thousand deaths!"
After his 'excitement', Li Xiang slowly said, "Yes, City Lord, I heard that they will carry out the operation in three days."
"Three days..."
The expressions of the two City Lords became even more solemn.
"This needs to be discussed carefully..."
Li Xiang spoke, "Two City Lords, these damned pirates almost killed me in the sea. I also want to contribute and fight against these pirates!"
Hara looked at Li Xiang for a few seconds, "Okay, then you can join in."
Li Xiang expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, City Lord, this way I will have a chance to get revenge!"
After speaking, Li Xiang cautiously added, "Um... City Lord, I have a plan."
