Chapter 427 All on Alert
The Giant of Justice, that's the giant covered in pustules, right?
No wonder he had such strong fighting power but didn't tear Wei Tianning apart and eat him.
No wonder he suddenly disappeared when he saw Wei Tianning come to his side.
The answer was provided by a text message.
The giant with the boil is Wei Tianning's assistant; they're in cahoots!
Lu Youyou just didn't understand why there was a "fake" in parentheses after "The Giant of Justice," but not when Xiao Lu gave the notification.
Why is Wei Tianning noted like this? Does he have a real giant of justice as his assistant?
Her thoughts were in disarray, and she couldn't make sense of them.
Fortunately, Wei Tianning did not lead the monsters to attack again.
In one afternoon, they encountered a few scattered monsters, which Zhang Shen could kill by himself.
Finally, everyone waited until it got dark.
Lu Youyou deployed the base on the spot, and all the members who were wandering outside were teleported back. Everyone's face showed exhaustion.
"Yoyo~ I'm so glad to see you! You have no idea what we've been through all day. We opened five treasure chests in one day, and they were all full of loyalty coins. I'm going crazy."
Zhang Yuning hugged Lu Youyou and made an exaggerated wailing sound.
Wang Qiao's face darkened: "Our team is the same; every treasure chest we opened only contained loyalty coins."
Yang Yan said wearily, "We are too."
More and more people started replying, and finally everyone confirmed that the treasure chests everyone opened contained nothing but loyalty coins.
Lu Youyou took out the truth-telling device and asked, "Did you take the loyalty coins? Did you cover for your companions?"
Members stepped forward and lined up to answer.
Unsurprisingly, the answers were all negative, and the phone itself did not report any errors.
Lu Youyou was satisfied. She knew that her team had gone through a lot of hardships and would not knowingly hide loyalty coins.
"Everyone is tired today, let's go back to our rooms and rest."
The crowd dispersed, and Wang Qiao followed Lu Youyou into the room.
"What's wrong, Qiao'er?"
Lu Youyou deliberately addressed Wang Qiao in a light and cheerful voice.
"Stop pretending, you have something on your mind." Wang Qiao pointed it out directly: "Tell me, and I'll help you."
Lu Youyou took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.
She thought she was putting on a good act, and that Wang Qiao wasn't watching her all the time, but then he so clearly noticed that she was unhappy.
“Tell me, or I’ll go ask Wen Qing and Zhang Shen.”
Lu Youyou: "Even if you ask them, they won't give you the right answer."
Wang Qiao understood: "There's a problem with Lucky Copy? Didn't you get what you wanted? What did you want?"
Lu Youyou was genuinely unhappy before, but upon hearing Wang Qiao's three anxious questions, she instantly broke into a smile.
"It's not that I didn't get the supplies I wanted, it's that I got a truth I never expected."
"What truth?"
Lu Youyou took out her phone: "Da Rui copied Wei Tianning's phone, and I saw the messages that others sent to Wei Tianning."
Wang Qiao asked in confusion, "Don't we all communicate using watches?"
Lu Youyou sighed: "So I guess Wei Tianning got the adults' approval before us, got a cell phone, and can control monsters. Otherwise, I really can't think of any other possibility."
"A horde of monsters?" Wang Qiao's relaxed tone betrayed his underlying tension. "You shouldn't be injured, right?"
Lu Youyou nodded: "Of course I'm not injured. Even if I were, I wouldn't be afraid. Have you forgotten that I can make advanced all-purpose pills?"
Wang Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and confidently hummed in agreement: "Forgot what?"
"I just don't understand why Wei Tianning is still paying attention to me when he's progressing faster than us? Hasn't the adults given him a definite answer yet? Am I still a candidate?"
Wang Qiao looked completely bewildered; she knew nothing about it.
In this respect, she was not as lucky as Lu Youyou; she had never even seen an adult.
"I can't unlock my phone or access the chat app, but look, we can still see the messages sent by the Giant of Justice."
Wang Qiao swiped the screen, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"Wei Tianning ordered the Giant of Justice to lead monsters to surround our base?"
"He probably wanted to wait until dawn for the base to disappear, severely damaging our members, but I'm not sure if it was our base, because the Justice Giant's reply didn't specify."
Wang Qiao immediately decided: "I'm not going to sleep. If there really are monsters outside the base, we'll take advantage of their inability to get in and fight them. Also, we'll have the members keep an eye on things."
Lu Youyou hesitated for a moment: "How can I reveal this? I don't want people to know that I have Wei Tianning's phone. The more people who know, the less confidential the information will be."
"It's not that I don't trust our members, it's just that the fewer people who know about this, the better, so as to avoid causing more trouble."
Wang Qiao patted Lu Youyou on the shoulder, her eyes sparkling: "Watch me."
hum~
A message was sent to the team's group chat.
[Wang Qiao: @All members, I received a prophecy this afternoon saying that a random base will be besieged by monsters tonight. Everyone be careful, so we can fight the monsters if it happens to be our base.]
[Xiao Liu: Received! Wow, Sister Qiao's luck is amazing, she even got a prophecy.]
[Zhang Weimin: The base is under siege? Isn't the base supposed to be able to isolate any monsters and natural disasters?]
[Zhang Yuning: Dad, are you crazy? The base will disappear by daybreak. If we don't deal with the monsters at night, how will we handle so many monsters during the day without the base?]
[Zhang Weimin: ...That makes sense, but can't you give your father some face in front of everyone? My dear daughter.]
[Zhang Yuning: I'll definitely pay attention next time.]
[Li Jinyue: Received.]
[Zhan Yu: Received.]
【…】
Wang Qiao pointed to everyone's replies on his watch and said proudly, "Isn't that it?"
"Youyou, you have to remember that being good to the members doesn't necessarily mean telling them everything. Just don't lie about important things."
"What people care about is what is going to happen, not where you got the information or who gave you the information. Sometimes a white lie is necessary."
