“Gagagaga……”
Inside the room on the second floor of the cathedral, Truth watched through God’s Perspective as Wilona, her face full of shame in the Fog Gate Plaza, giggled with satisfaction.
“Not bad, that expression… It seems that the priest robe I casually designed is pretty good after all. It actually made so many adventurers like it. Not bad, not bad. I’ll really make this the official designated work uniform for Mist from now on.”
She originally wanted the tailor to make it into a sexy outfit to play some humiliating games with Cat and Ariel, but the effect turned out unexpectedly good!
As for what to do if employees find it too embarrassing to wear after putting it on?
Well, just wear it more and they’ll get used to it. Anyway, it’s not Truth wearing it herself, gagagaga……
Truth didn’t care at all whether Cat liked wearing this outfit or not.
As a pet, one must have a clear understanding of their position, which is: the purpose of a pet’s existence is to provide emotional value to its master! Only when the master is happy first can the pet be happy afterward!
Taking advantage of Wilona’s earnest preaching, Truth blew a few more gusts of wind inside Mist, lifting Wilona’s high priest robe.
Accompanied by Wilona’s cute “Nyaa” sounds, the surrounding adventurers also cheered.
They didn’t know why wind was blowing inside Mist, they only knew that after the wind blew, they could see something pleasing to the eye……
Although Truth nominally said Wilona was her “Mist Employee,” in essence, she was just using Wilona for fun.
After all, Suna had gone to study abroad, so until the next time she saw her, she could only play with the cat.
And besides, the cat’s parent had tacitly agreed, as long as she wasn’t tortured to death.
With Wilona’s continuous promotion, in less than twenty minutes, most of the adventurers in Fog Gate Plaza had basically learned about the three-day special event in Mist.
With the boost from the event, it would definitely offset the adventurers’ unknown fear of the battle between gods and demons above Deya City.
Afterwards, having Tia promote it in the name of the church, saying “The Goddess has taken care of everything,” would stabilize everyone.
By then, the number of active adventurers in Mist would surely reach new heights!
Now, as the adventurers shifted their gaze from Wilona to the notice board in front of her, they all exclaimed in surprise: “Mist actually holds limited-time events?”
“Wait, where did this beastman girl get this information? And why is she proactively promoting Mist?”
“She’s probably a Mist employee.”
“Mist… employee?”
“Have you forgotten? When we went to the underground maze before, wasn’t there a Mist employee guiding us on the way? This beastman girl is definitely the same.”
“Is that so? Then what are the benefits and perks at Mist? Are there any recruitment requirements?”
“For that, you’d probably have to ask the beastman girl on stage. But judging by her look… it feels like she has some leverage over Mist and was forced to sell herself?”
“Definitely a bit…”
“So what’s this special event in Mist about? This is the first time I’ve seen a dungeon launch a ‘limited-time event,’ making it seem like a tavern promotion.”
“As if you’ve ever seen any dungeon update release update announcements or compensations before. We can’t judge Mist by conventional standards. And instead of studying this, it’s better to quickly research the content of the special event. We need to take advantage of this opportunity to act early, otherwise, by then, it’ll be packed, and there won’t even be enough treasure chests to open!”
……
With the adventurers’ heated discussions and promotions, by tomorrow morning, the special event in Mist would probably spread throughout Deya City and several surrounding cities.
By then, there would be no need to have the cat promote like this; just posting an announcement in Fog Gate Plaza would suffice.
“No way, then there won’t be any humiliating play to watch!” Truth immediately vetoed this idea:
“Post the announcement, and have the cat promote too! Also, it’s been almost 20 minutes. Where the hell is the other employee in charge of promotion?”
Truth began to locate Ariel, only to find that the girl, wearing a cloak and hood, was hiding behind a tree at the edge of Fog Gate Plaza, warily watching the passing crowd, afraid someone might discover what she was wearing under her cloak……
How dare she slack off here!
Truth immediately sent a message:
“Hey, slacker. I said I wanted you and Wilona to promote together, didn’t I? Take off that cloak and get to work! Otherwise, I’ll use your soul to make a voodoo doll!”
“Ah?! No, no… I wasn’t slacking off. I was just thinking of taking turns working with Wilona. That way, both of us could get a chance to rest, right… isn’t that right?” Ariel quickly tried to argue.
“Taking turns promoting? Interesting. Fine. Since Wilona is probably almost tired by now, go relieve her.”
“Uh, well…” Ariel hesitated.
Then Truth got angry:
“Have I been giving you too much face? Every time I ask you to work, you drag your feet. Do you think I’m easy to deal with?”
“Ah?! No, no, no, I don’t!”
“Ariel, I now command you to immediately replace Wilona. Wilona is off work. The entire day’s promotion is yours!”
Then, in the center of Fog Gate Plaza, Truth’s voice also echoed in Wilona’s mind:
“Good work. That’s enough for today. Let Ariel take over for you.”
As she spoke, the platform beneath Wilona began to slowly descend.
Then, under the gaze of the adventurers, Ariel, moving with stiff steps, reluctantly came before Wilona.
Under the latter’s somewhat puzzled eyes, Ariel slowly took off her hooded cloak and placed it over Wilona……
Unlike Wilona’s childlike figure, Ariel was a standard young maiden, with a more proportionate figure.
So after taking off her hood and cloak, the surrounding adventurers also let out deep sighs of admiration:
“Ohhh, this is good, this is good. I like this balanced figure!”
“If only her chest were a little bigger…”
“Wait, she looks familiar… Ah, I remember! She’s the woman who gave us hints on the way to the maze before!”
“Oh! So it’s the veteran employee appearing.”
Tsk… Ariel listened to the murmurs of the surrounding adventurers and didn’t want to say much.
She just softly said to Wilona in front of her: “You can go back now. You’re done for today.”
“Really? But I’ve only been working for a little while…”
“That’s enough. Since it’s your first day, you’re just familiarizing yourself with the process. All right, go enjoy your free time.”
“Okay, nyaa!” Wilona nodded excitedly, wrapped herself in the cloak, and immediately ran away from the scene, dashing out of Fog Gate Plaza.
Great, she got off work so quickly!
So next, it was Ariel’s turn to start promoting. Amid everyone’s anticipation, she also mentally prepared herself:
This outfit is nothing. After all, it doesn’t expose any important parts.
At worst, I’ll be stared at with strange looks. No big deal…
Even though she thought so, her slightly trembling body and flushed face betrayed her true feelings.
This made Truth, who was voyeuristically watching her, very satisfied:
“Mmm, that’s the expression I want. Sometimes if you talk nicely to some people, they’ll get cocky. Sure enough, coercion is better!”
Then Truth thought again, making a gust of wind blow up from under Ariel’s skirt, startling her so much that she immediately dropped the notice board and covered the hem of her robe with both hands, looking extremely flustered, completely losing her usual slightly proud and defiant demeanor.
“Damn it! Don’t forget Heavenfire Lord’s mission… To regain my own soul… No, I have to endure it. I must be patient!”
After the gust of wind stopped, Ariel carefully picked up the notice board……
Ten minutes later, in the Free Exploration Area of Mist.
After work, Wilona was running wildly in Mist, following the guidance.
Although running like this would expose her legs and sides, as long as she ran fast enough, no one would see her.
“So, this should be my off-duty time, right? That means as long as the Hidden One doesn’t give any further orders, I can do whatever I want, as long as I don’t leave Mist without permission!”
The first thing Wilona thought of after calming down was:
Since I’m working for Mist anyway, why not take this opportunity to experience the dungeons and various adventures in Mist again!
That’s right, continue adventuring!
But just in case, Wilona decided to ask Truth first to see if it was allowed: “Hidden One, may I challenge the dungeons and bosses inside Mist?”
“No problem. Do whatever you want.”
“Yay!” Wilona jumped excitedly.
She didn’t expect the Hidden One to be so easy to talk to. So was this paid playtime?
“Oh, and Hidden One, can I take off my employee uniform after work?”
“Ah, that’s not allowed. As long as you’re my employee, you have to wear this outfit. If you take it off without permission, there will be consequences.” Truth flatly refused.
“Ah… fine.” Wilona was a little disappointed. It seemed she would have to avoid the adventurers from now on.
So what kind of adventure should she start next? Oh right, go check out that big pit!
She had heard from those adventurers that something had fallen into Mist and created a huge crater.
Could it be some priceless extraterrestrial meteorite?
When she was at the Mist Core, Wilona had been frightened by the intense commotion at the time, so she had always wanted to go check out the direction of the big pit.
Using Mist’s built-in guidance UI and her memory of the explosion’s location, it took Wilona a little while to finally reach the spot where the Goddess of Life had created the giant pit.
But before she got close to the pit, she spotted a familiar figure nearby!
Meanwhile, beside the giant pit, Little Mist, currently in her human form, was squatting by the pit, constantly trying out various functions of Build Mode:
“Ugh, so complicated… What selection, batch copy, material library, manual construction… Such a hassle!”
“Isn’t this supposed to be my authority? Why do I have no proficiency in it at all? Meanwhile, Truth uses it so skillfully! Has my authority already been corrupted by her?”
Feeling a bit dejected, Little Mist was lost in thought when suddenly, a huge force hit her from the side, knocking her whole body aside!
Before she could react, Wilona’s sharp eyes appeared before her, pinning her down and holding her immobile:
“It’s you! The impostor impersonating Truth! I can’t believe I ran into you inside Mist!”
“Huh?! What?!” Little Mist was shocked. What was going on?!
