The streets of Grove Town were much quieter than during the day. While there were still players running about, the shops and stalls were all closed for the night. It was on this very night when the moon was hidden behind the clouds that two figures stealthy made their way through the back alleys, well,  at least kind of stealthy…. "Ouch!"



"Lexy, stop tripping over everything! We need to be like a ninja, like a ninja!" Olivia reached out her hand to help up Lexy, who had fallen face first after tripping over something.



"Well, sorry for not knowing where to step! I mean, who just lays in the middle of the alleyway like that!?" Lexy pointed at the drunk man lying face down in the dirt. He was snoring away. The fact that Lexy had tripped and fallen on top of him, knee first, did not seem to even faze the drunk man in the slightest. Feeling vexed because she was yelled at, she walked over and gave the drunk man a few kicks to let out some of her anger. "Stupid drunkard!"



"Let's go." Olivia chuckled as the two continued towards their destination.



"This is it." A short while later, Olivia came to a stop at the end of an alley.



"What the hell is this, a prison!?" What stood before them was a tall solid metal fence, or more like a wall. It surrounded a  certain old hag's back yard, and on top of this fence were coils of barbed wire. Lexy was unsure of what to make of this. It was as if this was some kind of secret government facility.



"Haha! Well, she installed this after I busted in last time. The herbs I gave you were part of my spoils." Olivia scratched her head in embarrassment before a proud look formed on her face. Lexy was unsure if she should be stunned or laugh.



"So, how are we going to get over the wall?" With how the wall was overly smooth combined with the barbed wire at the top, Lexy did not see any way to get in without proper tools.



"Do you think I would come here unprepared!? Look at this!" Olivia smugly smiled and pulled a ladder out of her inventory and a pair of custom made wire cutters. She stood there looking at Lexy expectantly. Her expression saying it all: "Come on, praise me! Praise me!"



Sensing this, Lexy clapped her hands together and pretended to be amazed. "Woow! You thought of everything!"



"Hehe! You know it! I am your guild master after all!" With a self praising grin, she placed the ladder against the wall. The ladder itself really seemed to be made for this because it had two hooks at the top that hooked on to the wall, perfectly locking the ladder in place. It really made Lexy wonder just how long Olivia had been planning this raid.



Olivia put on some gloves and climbed up the ladder. She then cut the barbed wire and pulled it all back so that it was out of the way. After it was safe to climb all the way up, she pulled a second ladder out and lowered it to the other side, hooking it on. "Okay, climb up!"



She was a little too prepared for this! Lexy did not complain one bit because now she could really stick it to that old hag! She had learned from Olivia that most new players were stuck here in Grove Town for at least a month. That was why the town was so large. By all rights, it should be called a city, but it was still considered a town of medium scale, which meant that cities of medium scale must be a few tens of times larger than Grove Town.



She had learned much more from Olivia these past few days as well, but we will go into that later. Right now, Olivia was gazing out over the lush fields of herbs with money signs in her eyes. Each leaf of these plants was worth fifty copper! She smacked her lips and quickly climbed down the other side. Olivia waved her over to the first row of herbs, and the two quickly went to work digging the plants up.



"Make sure you don't leave any roots. If you do, they will just grow back. If you want revenge, do it thoroughly!" Olivia instructed. Lexy nodded her head and began digging like a dog tossing dirt in every direction.



Plant after plant, was being plucked from the ground. After digging a few up, the two had gotten the knack of it and began speeding up their progress. They had already harvested one row and had a hundred plants each. And they still had another forty or more rows to go!



But things would never stay easy. A loud yell could be heard from the other side of the herb field. "Ahhh! Olivia, you rat bastard! You lied to me!"



Olivia popped her head up from her digging and let out a loud laugh: "Haha! So we meet again, you vile old woman! And I did not lie! I said I would not steal from your field as long as Lexy was selling her wares! She just ran out of potions today, so we came to gather resources for more! Hahaha!"



Lexy facepalmed. "Is she really that into character right now!? Or is this just Olivia!? Well, never mind that, while the old hag is concentrated on Olivia, I will harvest away!" She would not give up her free money!



"Today, for sure, I will send you to the respawn point, Olivia!" The old hag yelled out. She pulled out her broom and charged into the field towards Olivia. She did not seem to see the tail poking up behind the plants on the other side of the herb field.



"Haha! I beat you before and I will beat you again!" Olivia drew her sword and charged forwards as well. Lexy ignored it all and dug plants at lightning speed!
