I Maximize My Item-dropping Rate Chapter 20: Action Plan

Chapter 20: Action Plan

As a high-end restaurant in the Golden Cloud City, the Luan Phoenix Restaurant was far from what a medium-sized restaurant like the Hui Hai Restaurant could compare to.

At this moment, in a private room in the Luan Phoenix Pavilion.

Dressed in black clothes and pants, Xiao Shi was sitting at the round table with a wide black bamboo hat on his head. The brim of the bamboo hat was pressed down, covering most of his face in the shadows.

He held the wine gla.s.s in one hand as he thought about his plan.

Knock knock!

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"The door's unlocked. Come in." Xiao Shi replied indifferently.

The door of the private room was pushed open. A person in a gray robe with his entire face hidden under a hood walked in. He sat opposite Xiao Shi. "Greetings, sir."

The gray-robed man took off his hood, revealing a weathered face. He was a middle-aged man with a two-finger-long scar on his cheek. He looked a little fierce. His blood and qi fluctuated around Martial Entry-Level Four. He was very respectful in front of Xiao Shi.

"You're Yin She?" Xiao Shi asked.

The other party was summoned by him through the special communication method of the night patrollers. If nothing unexpected happened, this person was a spy planted by the Night Patrol Division in the Gale Stockade.

"Yes!" The middle-aged man took out a token to prove his ident.i.ty.

Xiao Shi nodded.

"How much do you know about the wife of the owner of Hui Hai Restaurant?"

Yin She pondered for a moment and glanced at the wine cup in front of him. After Xiao Shi nodded in agreement, he picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip.

"Ever since the chief kidnapped the wife of the owner of Hui Hai Restaurant, she has been placed in a courtyard in the village. Without the chief's permission, no one is allowed to approach that courtyard.

"Not many people in the village have seen the wife of the boss of the Hui Hai Restaurant. The chief has never allowed her to leave the courtyard."

Xiao Shi pondered and asked. "Were you the one who arranged for those night patrollers to sneak into the village to save people in the past?"

"Part of it is," Yin She nodded. "Some were arranged by the other spies, but those spies were all found out after the incident. I'm the only one left now."

Xiao Shi took a sip of his wine.

It was not difficult to tell from the information provided by Yin She that the chief obviously knew that there would be night patrollers constantly coming to save people, so he must have taken precautions.

Even if Xiao Shi had never seen that courtyard before, he could imagine that the chief had most likely set up an inescapable net in the courtyard. Perhaps this was also the reason why the chief did not allow the people in the stronghold to approach the courtyard.

"How did the night patrollers fail?" Xiao Shi asked again.

"They hid their ident.i.ties very well and did not reveal any flaws. However, they were unable to succeed when they went to save her."

Yin She shook his head. He did not know why the night patrollers had failed in the past. After all, his mission was to arrange ident.i.ties for these night patrollers so that they could sneak in and not work with them to save people.

A thoughtful look appeared in Xiao Shi's eyes. If he followed the path of those night patrollers in the past, the chances of success were extremely low. As expected, he still had to follow his plan.

"I need to know how many people are there in the Gale Stockade."

He looked at Yin She.

Yin She thought for a moment. "There are about two thousand people in the Gale Stockade, but from time to time, people from other stockades will come as guests. The number of people can't be fixed."

"Two thousand?" Xiao Shi frowned. This number was much more than he had imagined. It was not beneficial to his plan. "What's the distribution of Gale Stockade like? Do you have a map?"

Xiao Shi asked again.

"Yes!" Yin She took out a relatively simple map. Obviously, he had made it himself. On it was a rough map of the distribution of the Gale Stockade.

Xiao Shi focused on the location of the courtyard and asked Yin She some other questions. He had a more comprehensive understanding of Gale Stockade. Then, he combined it with his plan and a.n.a.lyzed it.

"It should work!" Xiao Shi made a judgment in his heart.

"Sir, do you need me to arrange an ident.i.ty for you?" Yin She asked.

"You don't have to." Xiao Shi shook his head. He would not use the methods of those people in the past to save her.

The chief of the Gale Stockade clearly knew about their method of saving people and had long been on guard.

Yin She was stunned. If he had not arranged for his ident.i.ty to sneak in, he really could not think of any other way for Xiao Shi to go to the Gale Stockade to save people. It was impossible for him to fight his way in alone to save them, right?

Yin She looked at the night patroller in front of him in confusion. He felt that this night patroller was different from the night patroller he had interacted with in the past.

"What do you need me to do, sir?" He asked curiously.

"I need you to help me deliver a batch of wine." Xiao Shi gently swirled the wine in his cup, his eyes flickering.

"Bring the wine in?" Yin She was even more confused. "Sir, are you trying to poison the wine?" He guessed.

Xiao Shi shook his head. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of a way to poison them, but it wouldn't work. The poison [Blood Corrosion] in his hand would only react when it touched the blood. If it was mixed with wine, it would not have any effect.

Moreover, even if it was effective, it was impossible to poison the entire Gale Stockade. As long as one person was poisoned, the others would know that the wine was poisonous. It was impossible for everyone in the Gale Stockade to drink at the same time.

"If it's not poison… then why do you want me to send this batch of wine?" Yin She was puzzled.

"You just need to help me send this batch of wine in and find a way to hold a banquet. When the time comes, let everyone in the Gale Stockade come to drink." Xiao Shi ordered.

"…Yes!"

Although Yin She did not know Xiao Shi's specific plan, as a spy of the Night Patrol Division, he would obey all the arrangements of the Night Patrol.

...

Before Yin She left, Xiao Shi first gave him a pot of wine and asked him to bring it back to the stronghold. He wanted to let the chief of the stockade know that he had this kind of wine in his hands and use it to reveal to him that he could obtain more of this wine in two days.

Xiao Shi believed that as long as the chief tasted this wine, he would definitely support Yin She in holding a banquet in the stronghold.

As for how Yin She would explain the origin of the wine, that was not something Xiao Shi needed to worry about.

As an outstanding spy, Yin She could naturally find a reasonable reason.

"Two days of preparation is enough!"

After Xiao Shi left the Luan Phoenix Pavilion, he began to act according to his plan. First, he had to collect a large number of insects, birds, and other creatures. By killing them, he could increase the amount of wine in his hands.

Although he had a lot of good wine in his hands, the supply this time was relatively large. The wine on hand might not be enough. It was not difficult to find these insects and birds in the Golden Cloud City.

Xiao Shi directly paid a group of people to collect it.

In less than a day, he already had nearly ten thousand insects and birds in his hands!
