The Supply Officer's expression changed dramatically, and then, with a serious tone, he fixed his gaze on her eyes and said, "Adventurer, are you willing to use the Warrior's Medal of the God of Light?"
System: Player Remains Silent. Do you confirm to use the Exit Village Qualification Certificate in Sunshot Town?
"Yes."
System: Congratulations, Player Remains Silent has obtained the title of Supply Soldier in Sunshot Town.
System: Congratulations, Player Remains Silent has earned 5 Merit Points.
System: The Faction System is now active. Player Remains Silent can view Resource Rank and Merit Rank.
"I want to exchange Resource Merit Points."
System: Does Player Remains Silent wish to use 5 Merit Points to exchange for 5 Resource Merit Points?
"Yes."
System: Congratulations, Player Remains Silent has obtained the Resource Rank of Supply Soldier. Since Player Remains Silent already holds the title of Supply Soldier, a dual benefit buff is activated. Under the title of Supply Soldier, the player can transport one unit of supplies at a time. Each unit can be exchanged for 1 gold coin and 1 Resource Merit Point. A failure will deduct 1% of money and Resource Merit Points.
Supply Soldier: Each unit transported can be exchanged for 1 gold coin and 1 Resource Merit Point. A failure will deduct 1% of money and Resource Merit Points.

Logistics Marshal (/1)
Resource Merit Points: Players can exchange for Rare Materials in the Faction System.
Looking at the benefits of the titles, Yan Yan suppressed the turmoil in her heart. Upgrading from Supply Soldier to Logistics Pioneer, she would be twice as fast compared to normal players. Those who also possessed the Exit Village Qualification Certificate would surely not miss this opportunity; daily escort missions were about to become a hot topic. With the Northeast Trade Route still not open, the Southeast Trade Route was the main line for escorts. It was just right—taking advantage of this chance—
Diverting Disaster to the West.
In the middle of the Northeast Trade Route Mission, “Eliminate the Sun Moon Lake Bandits and Thieves,” perhaps she could try that method mentioned in the reply...
Unfortunately—
Her gaze swept over the Quest Log. Between the Northeast Trade Route, money, and merit points, she ultimately chose the former.
Then she looked at the Faction System.
Faction Merit Points ranks: Meritorious Soldier (/1)
Meritorious Vanguard (/1)
Meritorious Commander (/1)
Meritorious Marshal (/1)
Faction Merit Points Total: Killing Dark Creatures (Each Dark Common Creature can be exchanged for 1 Faction Merit Point and 1 gold coin; each Dark Lord Creature can be exchanged for 1 Faction Merit Point and 1 gold coin)
Dark Merit Soldier (Each Dark Merit Soldier can be exchanged for 1 Faction Merit Point and 1 gold coin)
Dark Merit Vanguard (Each Dark Merit Vanguard can be exchanged for 1 Faction Merit Point and 1 gold coin)
Dark Merit Commander (Each Dark Merit Commander can be exchanged for 1 Faction Merit Point and 1 gold coin)
Dark Merit Marshal (Each Dark Merit Marshal can be exchanged for 1 Faction Merit Point and 1 gold coin)
Faction Merit Points: Players can exchange them in the Faction System for faction sets, faction weapons, and faction Mounts.
"Younger Supply Soldier, welcome to the Light Faction. The Northeast Trade Route Mission will have full support from the Supply Camp. Now, I wonder if you have time to return these identity badges to the Town Residents?"
System: Should Player Remains Silent accept the first phase of the Northeast Trade Route Mission: "Return the Missing Identity Badges of the Town Residents"?
"Yes."
Immediately, the Supply Officer took out a Bronze Medal. The reddish-brown Bronze Medal Appearance, aside from its different material and the engraving on it, looked identical to the one hundred twenty-two Iron Plates on the table.
The inscription on the Bronze Medal read:
Supply Soldier, Number 1, Silent.
"You can ask the town's Collector, Mige. I remember he has a blueprint of a giant ship in his collection."
"Thank you, sir."
Leaving the Supply Camp, Yan Yan followed the numbers on the Iron Plates, searching house by house for the relatives of the owners of the Iron Plates.
Their relatives included orphans and widows, elderly parents, and those who eagerly awaited their children's return. Each time an Iron Plate was handed out, it felt as if the soul of its owner found peace.
As the sun dipped lower in the sky, only one of the one hundred twenty-two Iron Plates remained in hand. The streets were illuminated by a warm orange glow, casting a soft light on the cold cobblestones. What once felt warm now carried a hint of sorrow.
Perhaps it was the sudden appearance of a White Chrysanthemum on the door, or the unexpected cries of children who had been joyfully playing in the alley. Maybe it was the mournful elegies that began to drift through the air, or perhaps it was the sorrowful expressions of hurried passersby on their way home.
The entire town, shrouded in the dimness of evening, lost its usual liveliness and clamor. It was silent, as if weeping in silence, and the pervasive atmosphere of grief even rendered the birds on the branches mute.
Standing at the door of the last house, he looked down at the Iron Plate numbered 1 in his hand, feeling a weight in his heart. This was Collector Mige's home.
He had lost his wife years ago, and now his only child had also passed away. The emotions that surged within him were perhaps influenced by the town's sorrowful atmosphere or reminded him of his own painful separations from his parents, leaving him with an unusual pang of bitterness.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Miguel home?"
No one answered.
As he knocked again, the door creaked open slightly.
Warm light flickered through the narrow gap.
He pushed the door open.
Inside was an empty house filled with disordered vessels, stone statues, wooden carvings, and even specimens covered in a thin layer of dust, as if no one had cleaned for a long time.
He stood cautiously at the entrance without stepping inside.
"Who is it? Cough cough—"
A violent coughing sound accompanied by a thick smell of smoke emanated from the inner room.
A hunched, thin old man staggered into view.
His murky eyes scanned the figure at the door and he said, "Did Supply Officer send you?"
"Yes, Mr. Miguel," I replied, handing over an Iron Plate. "About the missing Town Residents, Supply Officer should have explained it to you. This is your son's identification plate. I hope you can find solace," I paused, not missing the glimmer of tears in the old man's eyes as he took the Iron Plate. I softened my tone and continued, "Additionally, I would like to inquire about the blueprints for Giant Ship Annie."
"Clack, clack—"
Frowning, he took a few puffs from his pipe, the smoke enveloping Beauty, obscuring her expression in the dim light.
After a long silence.
Just as Yan Yan was about to speak again, he said, "This blueprint was brought back from Dragon Island. He lost a leg for this blueprint, and now he has left me again. I want this item to accompany him in death."
"Mr. Miguel, I hope you can consider this. I can bring something from Dragon Island that he truly desired as a burial item," I pressed my lips together and continued, "As a qualified sailor, I believe what he wanted was not just a piece of paper."
My firm tone conveyed deep conviction.
Hearing this, the old man set down his pipe and rubbed his rough fingers over the cold Iron Plate, seemingly trying to find familiar warmth in the icy metal. However, all he saw was its cold reflection.
I waited quietly for his response, turning my gaze toward the pitch-black night sky where a few lonely stars twinkled faintly, their weak light resembling the tears hanging at the corners of the old man's wrinkled eyes—fragile and mournful.
"If you want it, bring back Dragon Bone Stone from Dragon Island in exchange."
His heavy tone conveyed a final request.
System: Will Player Remains Silent accept the second phase of the Northeast Trade Route Mission: "Explore Dragon Island and bring back Dragon Bone Stone"?
"Yes."
"Mr. Miguel, please wait for my good news."
As he turned to leave, the old man's hoarse voice came from behind.
"I have looked over the blueprints. Annie will need a High-Class mechanic from the Dwarf Race and three blacksmiths to complete it. One of the materials can be obtained on Dragon Island, specifically Dragonbone Wood."
Surprised by the old man's hint, his gaze fell upon the tightly gripped Iron Plates, and he felt a flicker of understanding.
"I hope that when Annie sets sail, I can board as well. Young man, can you promise me that?"
"Alright, I promise you."
"Let me remind you once more, no matter what your purpose is for building this ship, with your current strength, it would be unwise to set foot on Dragon Island."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Miguel. I will keep it in mind."
Glasses Girl Club.
"Boss, there's some interesting information here."
Muzi Li shook off her lazy demeanor and leaned forward to activate the screen in front of her. A familiar face suddenly appeared, floating in mid-air.
"Ji Yang?"
"Boss, we've received three commissions recently. The first is from Jiang Wulang, whose real name is Jiang Lang. The task is to apply for a list of clinical trial participants for **S Institute. The second is from a woman named Yan Yan, whose task is to change the identity verification area for a Strict Language woman. The third one is commissioned by this Ji Yang, and the task involves tracking down Yan Yan, with a reward of 50,000 Credit Points."
With a swipe of her finger, red encrypted documents began to pop up one after another on the screen.
"I specifically looked into the information of three individuals, and the results were astonishing. The source of information about Jiang Wulang is Yan Yan, and I tested the source of Yan Yan's information; she did not disclose anything. Before Ji Yang placed a bounty on Yan Yan's whereabouts, he had used the authority of the District Chief to attempt to summon Strict Language from S Institute. Shortly after, this powerful sister, Yan Yan, approached us and made a one-time payment of 50,000 Credit Points to apply for citizenship in S Zone for Strict Language."
He pointed out a detailed report, his fingertip gliding over a news article as he continued, "After the incident involving the Yan Sisters, they were expelled from S Zone due to Ji Yang's manipulation, falling from wealthy residents to district civilians. Before the Zero Hour Server Launch, Yan Yan secretly contacted our people to help Strict Language enter the research institute, only to later blacklist him. Upon my investigation, it turned out that the person she blacklisted was actually an acquaintance of ours," he paused, a hint of mockery curling at the corners of his mouth, "Big-Eyed Frog."
The man looked surprised as Muzi Li pointed out another piece of information, raising a cryptic smile as he said, "Big-Eyed Frog had Yan Yan use her district citizen status and 40,000 Credit Points to exchange for a spot for Strict Language to receive treatment at S Institute. Tsk tsk—this guy really has a black heart; he’s supposedly a friend of that girl~"
His scoffing tone drew a faint glance from the man. When his gaze landed on the photo of the girl with a waxy yellow complexion, he adjusted his wrist communicator and said, "Let's not get involved with the frog business." Remembering his brother's furious expression from earlier that morning, he smirked.
Upon seeing Ji Yang's photo, his tone turned cold. "Retrieve a few spies placed around Ji Yang; with that kind of trash, it's not worth our effort—someone else will take care of him."
He snorted inwardly; how foolish it was for someone merely associated with the Ji Family to act arrogantly under their name in S Zone. His demise would come once the new District Chief from Area A took office.
