"I received information from the Information Broker that the person who paid a hefty sum for the Nutrient Solution Sample No. 2 is Zhang Daishan, the current head of the Zhang Family. I believe you understand his motives better than I do."
"To save that child."
"Hah—Zhang Daishan is so cold-hearted that he doesn't even acknowledge his own daughter. Yet, who would have thought that the one putting in all efforts to save Zhang Miao's son is actually the child's grandfather?"
"Someone is already looking for the data on Nutrient Solution Sample No. 2. You should step back from this matter. I need all recent movements in E Zone and D Zone."
"How much longer can we hold out?"
"Less than three months. The entire environment is collapsing. By then, with a lack of water and food, combined with severely polluted air and soil, a riot is inevitable. During this time, Zone Three must not be affected in any way."
"I will handle the isolation network to ensure there are no loopholes. District Chief, you should reach out to the Peng Family; after all, they are involved. Given Ji Family's influence, perhaps they can turn a blind eye to this matter."
"Alin, don't forget that the current situation is not like Huaguo twenty years ago when we were in control. Now it's a mix of various forces in Huaguo, and the Military Department has become completely independent. Aside from the Huo Family having some say, other families have lost their influence entirely. Therefore, District Chief Peng Kai, being the first District Chief from the Military Department and having distanced himself from the Peng Family years ago, sees his family as nothing more than an afterthought, which could even backfire."
"So, who do you want to take action?"
"Peng Nanyan."
"Ayan did lend a hand when Peng Kai left his family, but given the current situation, the effect is minimal. However—Ayan will definitely not stand by; no matter what, I will give it my best shot."
"Alright then, that's settled. I have other matters to attend to; I'll take my leave."
A sudden System announcement interrupted the Elf Priest just as he was about to rise. His tall and slender figure paused as strands of hair fell gracefully through the air, tracing a dark blue arc. "How is your tailor's Inheritance task coming along?"
"There's just one last step."
I need someone to help...
When Yan Yan joined her team members, a Private Message popped up.
【Private Chat Channel】Jiang Linchuan: Clear the Sun and Moon Bay Bandits and retrieve the precious fabrics they stole.
Furrowing her brow, she handed over the team leader role to Troublesome Fairy, signaling her to call for help first.
【World Channel】Troublesome Fairy: Skeleton Graveyard, Simple Level, looking for a thief, a mage, a priest, and anyone else.
【Nearby Channel】Troublesome Fairy: Skeleton Graveyard, Simple Level, looking for a thief, a mage, a priest, and anyone else.
Ding ding ding—
A series of party request notifications rang in White Robed Priest's ears. The girl glanced over and accepted a few appealing IDs.
She waved at the girl beside her, who seemed to be replying to messages, signaling her to join the dungeon.
The moment they were teleported into the dungeon, the thief in their party suddenly retreated. At the same time, another request came in instantly. Troublesome Fairy almost accepted it without thinking. A tall shadow appeared just as they were teleported into the dungeon, and a private message was sent back.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: I have an overlap with my Northeast Trade Route Mission's next phase. So, what time?
Talking to smart people is easy. Jiang Linchuan casually plucked the string of his Longbow. A smile appeared on Fair's face, and at that moment, his striking black eyes shone brightly. It seemed that all one could see on his otherwise ordinary face were those special eyes. Remembering how the girl had stood in front of him during their previous dungeon run, Fair paused for a moment; the buzzing of the bowstring ceased as he turned to Muzi Li beside him and said, "Dungeon canceled; we'll run it again tonight."
At the same time.
【Private Chat Channel】Jiang Linchuan: Two hours later at Sun Moon Lake's Teleportation Circle.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: Okay.
【Team Channel】Silent: The strategy for Skeleton Graveyard has been posted in Team Announcement.
At the same time.
In the Team Channel, Qin Huai sent a message: “Underworld Flame Stone, Soul Powder.”
The moment he made the request, a message appeared above, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
The Lord's Gift rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and leaned closer to Cat Eye Captain, saying, “Fairy, don’t you think it suddenly got colder?”
Troublesome Fairy squinted her large eyes, looking with interest at the two figures confronting each other ahead. “It seems so~” she said, casting a meaningful glance at the girl across from her whose expression had suddenly turned cold.
Black-Clad Thief, dressed in fitted attire that outlined his tall and well-proportioned figure, stood with sharp features accentuated by the black veil covering his face. His high forehead was framed by long eyebrows that resembled fluttering black butterflies, exuding a mysterious elegance. Below, his narrow Peach Blossom Eyes were both affectionate and aloof, with a hint of mischief at the corners that added to his deadly allure.
Opposite him stood a girl with a bow, clad in earth-toned gear. Her slender frame did not diminish the fierce aura she radiated. The coldness on her face highlighted her bright Black Eyes, making her otherwise ordinary features shine brilliantly.
She stood before the tall and upright man, and although she was shorter, it seemed to have no effect on the imposing pressure she exerted.
Behind the man, Weak Water Three Thousand could only see a wall of drool-worthy figures—broad shoulders, slim waists, and well-defined muscles that were both strong and sexy. The long, straight legs before her seemed to fit perfectly with the internet's description of “all legs below the neck.”
“Fairy! This man is top-notch~”
She leaned closer to Cat Eye Captain, making a funny face and winking at her. “Nine heads tall, golden ratio lines—simply perfect! Any random thief you call is drop-dead gorgeous. Oh~ even though we can’t see his face, I bet he’s so handsome that it’s hard to close your legs!”
“Fairy, I also think this guy is extraordinary. And it seems like he knows Yan Yan. How mysterious~” The Lord's Gift teased with a playful smile on her plump lips.
“Assessment complete: ninety points.”
“Hey, hey, hey? Why only ninety points? Fairy, what’s your standard? Ninety-nine!”
“Weak Water, you haven’t even seen his face!”
"Woohoo, I'm so obsessed with those solid and sexy broad shoulders~"
"Leader, are we still going to do the dungeon?"
The neglected Dwarf Mage asked anxiously.
Cat Eye Captain turned his head, his gaze landing on the newly recruited mage, which was quite an eyesore—
Troublesome Fairy immediately shifted her gaze forward to the Black-Clad Thief to cleanse her eyes.
"Hey, Leader, what kind of look is that!"
"Mei Renai, right?" Another new member, a Human Priest, patted his hefty shoulder and said, "It's just that the contrast is too stark." He gestured towards Black-Clad Thief and feigned sorrow, "Even my handsome face can't attract any attention from the ladies here, so let's not dwell on it."
【Team Channel】Fairy Name Like Jade: Ladies, how long are you going to keep staring at the handsome guy? Our heavyweight mage is getting dissatisfied~
【Team Channel】Mei Renai: First time in a dungeon, newbie here, Ugly also seeks care. Sister Priest, please don't just focus on the handsome guy's Health Bar, glance at me occasionally, I beg you not to abandon me!
【Team Channel】When Will the Other Shore: First time in a dungeon, newbie here, Ugly seeks care +1
This is the newly joined Dwarf Warrior. (To be continued.)
