Chapter 98

Sakura Wuxiao said with a smile, "How serious can it be? Under normal circumstances, T's regular missions are categorized as criminal incidents by the government. Even at the school level, regular missions usually just involve one-on-one or small-scale battles between the two opposing factions. Neither the government nor other major forces would intervene in these."

"Why is that? If the seeds of the opposing faction are growing, shouldn't they be eliminated?"

"Please, the current situation in Tokyo is a talent drought. There are brief truces every so often. If someone were to target newcomers in such a situation, it would likely lead to prolonged large-scale conflicts."

Ye Yun understood.

After all, Tokyo is too small, and the Japanese are too belligerent. With the complex mix of forces, the current Tokyo is like the Warring States period of Japanese village chiefs. A small targeted action could easily ignite a powder keg. It's natural to be cautious.

Ye Yun raised his glass to Sakura Wuxiao, and they drank together. Then he said, "To be honest, my next regular mission will turn into an advanced mission. Could you please give me some advice on what I should pay attention to?"

After saying this, he deliberately mimicked the Japanese way of sitting on the floor and bowed deeply, "Please, I beg you to teach me!"

Sakura Wuxiao smiled, "Is that difficult? An advanced mission is essentially a small-scale terrorist attack. You can initiate it yourself and recruit a few companions, or you can directly apply for assistance from one of the law enforcement factions, though the latter requires sharing the mission. But either way, it's easy to complete."

"Small-scale... terrorist attack?" Ye Yun was a bit shocked, "Isn't an advanced mission for individuals? Could it turn into a major event?"

"How could it? It's just robbing a bank or a series of kidnappings. It's not difficult and won't attract much attention."

Ye Yun nodded, "Alright, then I'll seek help from the Red Group. After all, their leader is neutral evil."

Sakura Wuxiao quickly stopped him, "No, you can't go to them!"

"Why not?"

"Because those guys are genuine terrorists!"

"Aren't we too?"

"That's different."

Sakura Wuxiao said seriously, "Although the Red Group is mostly lawful evil, with only a few leaders being neutral evil, don't think they are like us."

"Like... us?"

Sakura Wuxiao nodded, "We, rather than being terrorists, are more like criminals, bandits, and outlaws. We do evil for missions or profit... but the Red Group, their purpose in doing evil is to cleanse!"

"Cleansing? Cleansing what?"

"Cleansing society, cleansing all factions, cleansing humanity! In other words, they are thorough anti-social elements! Their actions and beliefs are extremely idealistic, aiming to create a so-called 'free,' 'unrestrained,' and 'anarchic' environment. So, they are worse than chaotic evil individuals. Whether it's ordinary people or players, whether T or CT, anyone who stands in their way will be eliminated! As a neutral evil individual like you, if you go to them, you will likely be imprisoned, brainwashed to join them, or manipulated to serve their purposes."

Ye Yun was shocked, "There are such people?"

Sakura Wuxiao said, "If you're not familiar with the Red Group, you must have heard of the Red Army. The leaders of the Red Group are former Red Army officers. Don't you understand their style?"

She sighed, "Moreover, the Red Group acts almost like madmen. Do you remember the major incident in early May?"

Ye Yun recalled the information he had seen in the 'Counter-Terrorism Biweekly': "You mean the one in Ginza?"

"Exactly. That major incident was actually a battle between Tokyo's two most mysterious organizations: the Royalists and the Red Group. Major incidents, especially in Tokyo, usually don't affect many civilians. But that time, both sides mobilized over sixty players and a lot of support forces, like the Royal Guard and the Red Army."

"Actually, all organizations received advance notice, and everyone naturally chose to observe. The specific time, location, and target were known, and the Tokyo authorities had prepared to evacuate the crowd before the incident. Who would have thought that the Red Group's madmen would act prematurely, directly causing over sixty civilian casualties!"

"So, I strongly oppose you going to those madmen."

Mentioning the civilian casualties, Sakura Wuxiao seemed a bit sad and drank in silence.

Ye Yun didn't know whether to be depressed or helpless... A Japanese outlaw could care about the lives of civilians, while the Seven Wolves, who were CT, had killed thousands of civilians wherever they went, and their actions were truly despicable.

That night, Sakura Wuxiao didn't mention the 'date' again. They chatted for a while, exchanged contact information, and then parted ways.

Sakura Wuxiao was undoubtedly a very 'lawful' person. Despite seeing that Ye Yun, a lieutenant, had such strong power due to his lineage, she still followed the rules and didn't ask the man she had become familiar with.

From her, Ye Yun learned that Sakura Wuxiao was actually a leader in the 'Forward Group,' though with a different faction route, she didn't invite Ye Yun to join.

Of course, this woman told Ye Yun that she could arrange for help in the advanced mission, but she also explained that, as a leader, she couldn't arbitrarily mobilize people. If Ye Yun needed help from the Forward Group, he would have to pay a certain fee.

Ye Yun didn't dismiss her words, but he didn't make an immediate decision. First, he wanted to observe and think about how to maximize his benefits. Second, while three-legged toads are hard to find, there are plenty of three-legged men. If he could find someone with a mission that day, Ye Yun might not need the Forward Group's help.

...

Ye Yun really planned to stay in Japan for a while. If he had to set a deadline, he hoped it would last until his first promotion.

This was also related to his 'narrow' nationalistic mindset. Before being reborn as 'chaotic neutral,' he was still a T. Rather than harming his own people, he might as well stay and harm the Japanese.

So, when Sanzenin Yuki came the next day, Ye Yun's first request was for her to help him find an apartment.

Finding an apartment wasn't difficult. After understanding Ye Yun's preferences, Sanzenin Yuki directly took him to the Shibuya district.

Shibuya, like Ginza in the central district, is a bustling commercial area that is lively 24/7, making it one of the most convenient core areas in Tokyo.

Of course, the apartment prices were also very expensive. However, the monthly rent of 250,000 yen for a 130-square-meter apartment was no problem for Ye Yun. The bounty from the death of the Unlucky Wolf included nearly 70 million dollars in cash and some antiques and jade (it turned out this damned guy was also a... cultured scoundrel?), which was enough for Ye Yun to buy a luxurious home in the best area of Tokyo and live comfortably for life.

The 130-square-meter bright apartment not only had a great view and good lighting, but the workers quickly moved in and arranged the various pre-ordered furniture in an orderly manner. In just a morning and half an afternoon, the modern-style room was fully set up.

"Wow~! Wow~!"

Sanzenin Yuki happily wandered around the room, exclaiming, "It's so luxurious after being set up!"

Ye Yun touched his nose, wondering if the Japanese were so unsophisticated. If she came to China, she might be surprised by the luxury in any corrupt official's home... Cough, he thought Sanzenin Yuki's surprise was due to her poor living conditions. He said, "If you like, I can rent the apartment next door for you to live in."

Sanzenin Yuki's body stiffened, and she turned to look at Ye Yun with a flushed face, "You..."

"Don't overthink it. You'll help me clean and cook," Ye Yun walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the bustling traffic below, "Also, I'll arrange for you to investigate some things. Your gender and identity will make it easier for you to do these tasks than me."
