Kingdom of Corrosion

Lin Wu: "..."

Shana reminded, "I mentioned credits and so on, wait, please cooperate with me."

Lin Wu asked curiously, "What do you mean by ’wait’? Are there other conditions?"

Shana replied, "Indeed, that refers to assisting the fortress agents. In the game, several fortress agents will appear who have memorized our names and faces in advance. If they need our help, we must provide assistance. Refusing to help a fortress agent might jeopardize our positions at Earth Fortress. Conversely, helping a fortress agent significantly increases the chances of being promoted to the higher ranks."

Lin Wu could brag but wasn’t good at lying; for a moment, he didn’t know how to face Shana’s secret while pretending to be uninformed. After thinking for quite a while, he asked, "Have you met one?"

Shana nodded, "Yes, I not only met a fortress agent, but also married her for her mission. It’s the ’Path of Love’ task."

Lin Wu was shocked, "Nightmare?"

Shana nodded, Surprised, huh? She was quite pleased with Lin Wu’s expression and continued, "The ’Path of Love’ task was released from the beginning. Nightmare had been seeking fortress personnel until she met me. I made big demands at that time, requesting a medical book and Eagle Sand, and although she was angry, she gave them to me. Up to now, she’s died five times, and I’ve died twice," Shana sighed.

The ’Path of Love’ isn’t supposed to be traveled alone. Shana helped Nightmare with parts of the ’Path of Love’ task. When it came to the wedding stage, Shana was reluctant, but after incessant pleading from Nightmare, Shana finally agreed and married Nightmare in exchange for Eagle Sand and the medical book.

The marriage was just one part of the task; after that, Shana didn’t need to do much, and the task required some time to wait. After being killed by Lin Wu, Shana resurrected near North Town and, knowing that the Shadow Base was the most powerful base in North Town at the time, reached out to Stone through the North Town players’ radio and joined the Shadow Base.

Shana said, "Nightmare, due to dying too many times and having no skills, was stuck on the textile factory task. When I died a second time, she came to the wilderness to pick me up, hoping to use the power of Shadow to help her once. I didn’t take it seriously at first, but during the meeting, when the Tailoring Skill came up, I mentioned the textile factory. After the meeting, I met with her, and she told me she had a Tailoring Skill book. She wondered if you could partner with her to complete the task."
