Athena in Tower Defense Game! [LitRPG]

0039 – Intelligence Network

When the first Fire Leopard was successfully killed, Athena Ravencroft immediately removed all the earth walls.
Standing back on the flat ground, she raised her hand and massaged her temples, which were starting to ache. It seems that a quick battle is still necessary; using the moving earth walls is too burdensome for her mentally. Athena didn't plan to immediately use the acceleration scroll; she intended to rest her mind for a while first.
Three creatures nearby communicated with their eyes. Their owner is really terrifying. Yes, indeed. Athena turned to look at them, "If you don't move faster, don't blame me for not opening the door."
Inside the house, she finally opened the system panel.
The messages in the regional chat channel had already changed repeatedly, and now all she could see were people discussing the Fire Leopard. There was not a trace of anything related to yesterday.
Even if there were, it was sporadic and useless.
Athena scrolled through for a while, then opened her friend interface and found a message from Ask-The-Heavens. But she found out that the other party had sent her a message this morning, but she had slept too deeply to see it.
Ask-The-Heavens's question was definitely based on some source, but how did he know?
Athena was just about to continue asking about yesterday's information when Ask-The-Heavens instantly replied,
Another instant reply. Do these guys stare at the system panel all day? But she also caught two key points: "you" and "part of the truth about the world", the other party actually knew about such information.
Athena became even more curious about their information network.
Athena tentatively sent this message.
The courtyard was filled with various types of towers, attack types, auxiliary types, and towers of various attributes, which Athena could not imagine to be so wealthy.
The Fire Leopard was locked in a cage on the side, as weak as a thread, unable to move. Its mouth and limbs were tied up, unable to harm anyone.
Sitting beside it was a gentle-looking man, his face pale, having been plagued by illness for many years. He was now holding a small knife, attempting to dissect the Fire Leopard.
[ Big Dream ] sent him a message.
Ask-The-Heavens rubbed his eyes, looking at the message sent by [ Big Dream ] with excitement.
That was the truth about the world!
He immediately sent this message to a group of only four people. He could create groups, and he could create more than one group.
The other two people in this group were running the information network with him, and the extra person had just joined a few days ago. He relayed Big Dream's original words to them, and in no time, all three gave their replies, unanimously deciding to trade, agreeing to anything within their capabilities.
While waiting for a reply, Athena played with her grassball panda cub, Paopao, rolling it into a ball and tossing it around.
"...!"
When the other party sent this message, even Athena was stunned.
As the top-ranked combat-based player in Region 004, she had access to additional privileges granted by the system, but they were limited to viewing the rankings of other regions. And now this guy was telling her that they could already establish contact with other regions!
Hearing what he said, Athena actually opened her permission panel and accessed Region 005.
"Wait... is he..."
After seeing that avatar, her really was the same as the 002 I encountered that day. In that case, the 001 and the little wizard from that day should also be the top-ranked in their respective regions.
Athena felt it necessary to find some time in the evening to check which regions these two guys were from. Maybe they could meet again in the future.
Athena once again opened the item list. Enough said, these information brokers are faster than robbers. Her own wood and stone were almost gone, so Athena first wanted these two things.
She may held some doubts to this guy and his pals but she will greatly benefit in this relationship as long as she is careful.
After pondering for a long time, she still couldn't decide. There were just too many good things among this group. It makes sense, considering that Region 004 plus Region 005, this merged region, probably only sent one of these lists.
Finally, Athena saw something that made her eyes light up.
No wonder, these guys are wealthy just with selling information!
Athena was starting to feel like joining them now. But when she calmed down, ordinary person simply couldn't access these things. And people like Ask-The-Heavens and them, they had too many responsibilities to bear. Athena knew she wasn't cut out for that. It's better to maintain the current trading relationship.
She compiled yesterday's information into a report and sent it over.
Besides these, Athena also received yesterday's information.
