"What? An A-Level Mission? Or the one numbered 00? Are you looking for death? Young people should not be so unaware of their own limitations."
The old man lost all his good impressions of Huo Feng upon hearing that he wanted to take on that mission, thinking that Huo Feng was simply courting disaster.
At that moment, Ruan Yiqing, who was nearby, also expressed concern, saying, "Yes, Brother Ruo Feng, you should think it over. Those people are reckless, cunning, and there are no rules there—only slaughter."
However, Huo Feng seemed not to listen and replied, "You don’t need to persuade me anymore. Since I’ve made my decision, I naturally regard life and death as trivial."
"I hope to see you return to complete the mission. However, this task is not something that can be accomplished quickly. I'll help you submit a request to suspend your entry into the Cavalry to avoid being expelled in three months," the old man said upon seeing Huo Feng's determination.
After everything was settled, Huo Feng and the helpless Ruan Yiqing went to the dormitory at the back.
Seeing Huo Feng return, Ling and the others looked at him with concern. Miyan approached and wrapped her arm around Huo Feng's neck, asking, "Brother Ruo Feng, the Three Generals aren’t looking for you because of Li Tie, are they? What happened?"
"That's a big deal; you don't know. He just did something that gave me a headache. No matter how I advised him, it was useless," Ruan Yiqing said irritably from the side.
This immediately piqued the interest of the three. Miyan, who spoke the most, released Huo Feng and walked up to Ruan Yiqing, saying, "What big deal? Don’t keep us in suspense; hurry up."
Ruan Yiqing lazily sat on Huo Feng's bed and said indignantly, "I can't be bothered; you can ask him yourself."
The three of them turned their questioning gazes toward Huo Feng.
Huo Feng smiled lightly and said, "Don't listen to his alarmist talk; I just accepted a mission."
"Come on, is that all? You call that nothing?" Ruan Yiqing couldn't help but curse.
"You two stop playing dumb. What mission has Brother Ruan so anxious?" Miyan looked at them scratching his head in confusion.
Ruan Yiqing sighed, "Alright, let me explain. He just took an A-Level Mission, and it's that time-consuming and dangerous life-and-death combat task. Isn't that practically a death sentence?"
"Ah!"
The three exclaimed in unison.
Miyan exaggeratedly stepped forward to feel Huo Feng's forehead, saying strangely, "Hey! You're not even running a fever. How come you're suddenly so out of it? I was thinking we could tackle some big missions together, and now look at this."
Ling stepped forward and slapped Miyan's hand away, saying, "Stop messing around."
Then he turned to Huo Feng and said, "Ruo Feng Brother, I know you're strong, but..."
Before Ling could finish, Huo Feng interrupted him with a smile, "What's wrong with you all? I've already accepted the mission; can't you at least say some words of encouragement? It's as if you all think I'm definitely going to die out there."
At that moment, the usually quiet Ling Zhi spoke up, "That's right. Since it's already decided, let's wish you well. I estimate Ruo Feng Brother will be focused on improving himself and will set off soon. How about we go out for drinks tonight?"
Upon hearing about drinks, Miyan immediately clapped his hands in approval and said, "Hey! That's a great idea! I like it. Let's go right now; it's almost evening anyway. You guys go get Cold Beauty Yan'er and meet us at the Underground Restaurant."
Ruan Yiqing also stood up and gave Huo Feng a push, saying, "Of course we wish you well. Let's go drink."
They laughed as Miyan dragged Huo Feng out while the Ling Brothers went to find Yan'er.
"Isn't it time to go drinking? Where are we going now?"
Huo Feng was somewhat puzzled; shouldn't they be heading into the city for drinks? Instead, they were going deeper into the Underground Soldier City.
Miyan smiled and said, "You crazy person only knows about mission training. This Underground Soldier City is much larger than we imagined, with everything you could want. You'll understand when we get there."
Huo Feng didn't expect that the Underground Soldier City would actually resemble a city, so well-designed and accommodating.
The three of them continued walking deeper, occasionally seeing groups of three or four chatting and laughing, and they could even smell the scent of alcohol from those who had been drinking and were preparing to head back.
Soon, they arrived at a unique building. This structure wasn't built on flat ground; it seemed to be embedded within the mountain. Instead of a traditional brick foundation, it was carved directly into the mountain. Many of the windows were made of stone, and the main entrance was also stone. Above the large door, there was no plaque but rather a stone that blended with the mountain, featuring four deep-set characters: "Underground Restaurant."
"We're here! This place has some truly delicious wild game inside. Let's hurry in," Miyan's eager expression made Huo Feng and Ruan Yiqing burst into laughter.
The three walked side by side into the restaurant, where a waiter approached and said, "Please come inside."
Following the waiter's guidance, they arrived at a table in the hall. Miyan then said, "We don't want to sit here; give us a private room. We have three more people joining us, so make it a bigger one."
"Sure! Please follow me upstairs," the waiter led Fire Phoenix and the others to Room 10 on the second floor.
Once they were seated, the waiter asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Huo Feng turned to Miyan and the others and said, "You guys decide what to eat; this is my first time here, so I don't know what's good."
"Then let's have the Mysterious Water Turtle King Soup. The last time I had it, it was great," Miyan shouted immediately.
Ruan Yiqing nodded continuously and added, "We also need an order of Roasted Arrow-Spined Boar and a Steamed Waru Fish."
The two of them continued to order more than a dozen dishes, not caring whether they could finish them or not.
Huo Feng looked at his friends in front of him, his face filled with a relaxed and happy smile. However, such days were rare for him; they shouldn't be frequent. He still had a long way to go in pursuit of his dreams. But for now, Huo Feng decided to let go completely and enjoy this crazy time with his friends.
Watching the two of them eagerly ordering dishes and arguing about which ones were better, Huo Feng suddenly laughed and said, "Hey! You guys are missing the point. The key is the wine; with so many dishes, that should be enough."
"Right! How did we forget about that? How many have we ordered?" The two seemed excited, and Miyan turned to the waiter to ask.
The waiter, already grinning from ear to ear at their numerous orders, replied, "You have ordered twelve dishes."
"Twelve it is! Now let's order some wine. Bring us five jars of your best Fog Peak Water Wine first. Alright, you can go prepare it," Ruan Yiqing waved his hand at the waiter.
The waiter left excitedly, and at that moment, Huo Feng asked, "Five jars? How much is in one jar?"
Miyan patted Huo Feng on the shoulder and raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile, saying, "Don't worry; a jar is just a few sips."
At that moment, Ruan Yiqing was also beaming brightly. Huo Feng felt something was off just as he was about to say something when the Ling Brothers and Yan'er arrived.
The six of them chatted casually while waiting for the food and wine to arrive.
Today, with such a large consumption, the service became particularly attentive. Soon, their food and drinks were mostly served. Miyan, the chatterbox, immediately stood up, poured himself a full bowl of wine, and raised it, saying, "It's rare for this madman to gather with us today. Let's toast to his actions for daring to take on that mission. I, Miyan, admire you the most and sincerely wish you success."
The others, except for Yan'er who remained coldly seated, also filled their bowls with wine and stood up, saying, "Yes, we believe you can do it. This first bowl is for you."
Huo Feng excitedly poured a bowl of wine as well and said, "Thank you all. You are my brothers for life; I accept your blessings."
The five of them tilted their heads back and downed their bowls in one go, all exclaiming in delight. Afterward, they poured more wine and after three rounds of drinking, they began to savor the delicious dishes on the table.
As the drinks flowed and everyone became more spirited, their voices echoed throughout the Underground Restaurant. Before they knew it, it was midnight and they had already opened a second jar of wine.
At this moment, Huo Feng looked at the cold Yan'er, who had not smiled or eaten anything since the beginning. Huo Feng poured a bowl of wine and approached Yan'er, saying, "Sister Yan, no matter what you encounter, don't believe it unless you've seen it with your own eyes. Perhaps your worries and sadness are all unnecessary."
Yan'er felt that Huo Feng's words were pointed at her. Seeing Huo Feng's slightly unusual gaze due to his drunkenness gave her a sense of familiarity. Surprisingly, she took a sip of wine and raised her bowl to drink with Huo Feng. Huo Feng realized that Yan'er might have understood something.
After drinking, Yan'er suddenly transmitted a message to Huo Feng: "You remind me a lot of a friend of mine."
