...

"Oh dear~"

Looking at the faintly handsome man reflected in the glass, whose overall score was probably similar to his real-life self, but whose aura was exquisitely right, from hairstyle to attire meticulous, Motan exaggeratedly curled his lips, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I somehow feel honored. Does System-chan see me as a guy who can casually pile task completion up to one and a half times?"

Unlike Double Leaf, who was immediately sent into the Inherent Barrier by Book Spirit to start the task after accepting it, the ailing Motan had a premonition just minutes before being thrown into the book. Although fortunately, Double Leaf hadn’t noticed anything amiss, Motan disconnected the moment he entered the ’instance.’

Then, in a muddled ’Absolute Neutrality’ state, Motan went and had lunch with Yu Chen, and was forced to listen to Phyllis Graham complain for nearly half an hour before finding a chance to log off and switch characters.

Admittedly, listening to Phyllis complain was something one could barely put up with, but agreeing to have lunch with Yu Chen and delaying the character switch was definitely one of those ’own fault’ things that you can’t even wash away.

In short, Motan wasted a precious amount of time, and by the time he reappeared in Book Spirit’s Inherent Barrier as ’Tan Mo,’ there was not much time left for him.

Possibly for this reason, the note left by the System in the ’Flickering Peril’ task was so full of bravado and arrogance.

Based on the information inadvertently leaked by Book Spirit earlier, Motan made the judgment that ’Double Leaf is also in this instance and is highly likely in an opposing faction to himself.’ He clearly understood that trying to achieve a contribution rate of over 150% for this task was basically hopeless.

After all, Double Leaf wasn’t the type to casually go offline. The time that Motan was away was probably more than enough for Double Leaf to set up lots of targeted measures.

So...

[This time let’s focus on completing the task honestly.]

Unthinkingly giving up the possibility of going further, Motan lazily stretched his body, glanced at the blood-red setting sun gradually dipping below the horizon through the window, and slowly walked back to the desk in the center of the study, propping his chin idly as he began to think.

His name is Sang Qiao.

The task requires what seems to be the simple act of ’surviving.’

On either the north-south or east-west walls of the study are hung the crest of the Sun Dynasty and the Georgia family emblem.

The conclusion is already very clear.

"If there’s no accident, the current timeline should be shortly after the Sun Dynasty was bombarded by Sky Pillar Mountain, flattening its core administrative area on the Ondshale Plateau and four surrounding direct jurisdictions. During these two years, that ridiculous interim council is scrambling to stabilize the situation."

Even though he has never absorbed relevant knowledge in the library, Motan still quickly analyzed the situation based on his half-year game life experience, whispering to himself, "Sang Qiao represented Glittering City in a mission to Georgia Territory as a lobbyist and spent some time negotiating with Angus Georgia. Afterward, he was targeted for assassination by the latter, who was determined to gain independence, and the one executing the assassination was... hmm... let me think, seems to be a woman named Pah... Xiang... uh, named Xiang Dui·Georgia."

Wasting another half a minute on meaningless thoughts, Motan glanced up at the clock on the wall. Unlike the system time in The Realm of Innocence, the clock showed a time of 5:48 PM.

"The assassination should start after sunset, although the exact time is unknown, theoretically, the optimal time to take action should be between 6:00 and 6:30. After that..."

Motan squinted his eyes slightly, meticulously recalling the information he had skimmed through, and spoke softly, "Sang Qiao broke through the encirclement with the desperate cover of his guards, fled Georgia Territory, and in the process zigzagged east, passing through the City of Gold, Red Cloud Platform, and Fuls Territory, and finally escaped back to Glittering City in the west of the Spirit Monster Wilderness."

Processing the information that he had glanced over at an astonishing efficiency, Motan’s train of thought became increasingly clear.

"During this process, Xiang Dui·Georgia led the elite troops in relentless pursuit and eventually slew Sang Qiao’s double in the Spirit Monster Wilderness, mistakenly believing the mission was accomplished. Tsk tsk, it seems someone’s head is a bit scrambled."
