Cherreads

Chapter 2 - Intelligence System

The intelligence system refreshes its information every 5 days. Today is the 5th, and the next refresh will be the 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, and 30th. Then it will return to the 5th.

Each refresh can bring up 5 pieces of intelligence, with the value of the intelligence ranging from 1 star to 6 stars from low to high.

Every 10 refreshes will inevitably yield a piece of information with a value of 4 stars or higher.

The information that came to Lear's mind filled him with joy.

A way out has been found!!

He took a deep breath and looked at Jem, who had a worried expression.

"Uncle Jem, thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

"I need to be alone for a while,"

Jem gave him a deep look.

"Lear, I have some connections in the Adventurers' Guild. If you need anything in this regard, just let me know."

He then gently pressed his right middle, index, and ring fingers against his brow and waved them toward the sky.

May the goddess bless you.

He then quietly closed the door and left the cramped, low-ceilinged house.

Lear watched the other person's figure disappear and took a deep breath.

Ordinary people in this world can't even take care of themselves, so it's rare to find someone like Jem who is so loyal and has helped the original owner so much.

He quickly regained his composure and immediately looked at the blue panel in his mind.

Based on the information provided by the intelligence system, silently repeat "refresh intelligence".

The next moment, new text appeared on it.

"This is the first time the intelligence has been refreshed, and its value has been further increased."

"It will definitely refresh once with information of value of 5 stars or higher."

Oh? There's an extra surprise?

With great anticipation, five pieces of information appeared on the blue panel in Lear's mind.

[1]: After a night of deliberation, the official in charge of distributing supplies to the pioneer knights, Deen, is preparing to accept a bribe of 100 gold coins from the Roll family. He will secretly apply for special pioneer supplies tomorrow for the new pioneer lord, Oak Roll. (Intelligence value: 1 star)

[2]: Tomorrow morning, a group of ogres will attack the windmill town, 120 kilometers north of Loran City. The number of ogres exceeds 100. (Intelligence Value: 1 star)

[3]: At the Ninth District Market, the thirteenth stall sells red maple saplings, which are saplings of the magical plant - Lava Fruit Tree. (Information Value: 2 stars)

[4]: Philena Loran, the eldest daughter of the Loran family and a level 16 Archmage, has been searching for the magical plant—the Blue Crystal Grass—which is located 200 kilometers northwest of Loran City in a valley filled with lilies. (Intelligence Value: 2 stars)

[5]: Refreshing.

There were 5 pieces of intelligence in total, and one was still refreshing. Lear couldn't wait for the one that was still refreshing, so he immediately started reading from the first one.

The first piece of information concerns the fact that Deon, the official in charge of distributing supplies to the Pioneer Knights, accepted bribes.

1 star, not very valuable.

Accepting bribes is all too common in this aristocratic, supernatural world, especially since the other party is only in the preparatory stage.

Special development resources are prepared for noble families with a glorious past. The Els family is only a baronial family and does not qualify for this, so this resource is indeed of little value to him.

The second story is about cannibals attacking the windmill town north of Loran.

1-star value.

Ogres are strong creatures that reach level 6, generally over three meters tall, and are extremely ferocious.

This intelligence was of limited value; he had never even heard of that windmill town.

The value of the two pieces of intelligence, 3 and 4, reached 2 stars, and their value immediately skyrocketed.

The thirteenth stall in the black market of the ninth district sells red maple saplings, which are saplings of the magical plant - the Lava Fruit Tree.

Magical plants are quite rare in this world. Lava Fruit is a key ingredient in alchemical potions. When taken alone, it can quickly restore magic power, and it is quite expensive on the market.

One can be sold for 10 gold coins.

An average person could only earn 5 or 6 gold coins after a year of hard work, without eating or drinking!

Such magical items are luxuries that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Now they're actually selling the seedlings of this magical plant as saplings of red leaf trees?

What is a red-leaf tree? It can be found everywhere outside the city. It takes three years to mature. The wood is sparse. Its only characteristic is that it is not prone to insects. It is cheap and poor people like to use it to build houses.

The prices of the two are worlds apart.

This inflow and outflow represents a huge profit margin.

I'll go there right away; I have to buy those seedlings.

Lear's spirits lifted.

The fourth piece of information is also very interesting—the eldest daughter of the Loran family is looking for the magical plant, the Blue Crystal Grass, which is located 200 kilometers northwest of Loran City.

Where is this place? It's Loran, the largest city in the Northern Province of the Griffin Empire!

The Loran family is the controller and sole ruler of this city.

This city exists because of this family.

Who is the eldest daughter of the Loran family? The Flower of the North, Princess of Loran City, a magical genius renowned throughout the empire!

At the young age of 24, he became a level 16 archmage, possessing the power to destroy cities, and was hailed as the rising star of the Griffin Empire!

A single order can affect the fate of countless people!

The magical plant mentioned in the intelligence may not be of high value in itself, but once it is sought after by top-tier nobles, its value will inevitably skyrocket.

Lear pondered its value.

If used properly, this information could potentially secure sufficient development funds.

Just then, the fifth piece of intelligence quietly appeared.

Unlike the other intelligence reports, this one was shimmering with a golden light.

Lear glanced at it instinctively, and the six stars at the end made his heart skip a beat.

The highest value of intelligence is only 0.6 stars!

This information indicates a golden 6-star item!!

After reading it carefully, a surge of excitement rushed to my head.

His eyes were bloodshot.

He suddenly gripped the document tightly with his five fingers.

[5]: In the Black Market of the Ninth District, a tomb raiding gang stole a murky crystal from an ancient tomb. It will be sold at the 23rd stall at the entrance of the Black Market on the morning of July 8th, just as the sun rises. This item is the shattered divine essence of the Swamp God. By dripping blood onto the crystal, one can control this part of the Swamp God's divine essence. (Intelligence Value: 6 stars (Gold, full stars))

The shattered divine nature of the Swamp God.

When Lear saw this crucial information, he felt dizzy.

God is the most powerful and terrifying being in this world.

They are the rulers of this world!

Now, the opponent's power is laid bare before us.

It's within easy reach!

Gold-tier intelligence worth 6 stars.

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!
