Zhang Heng had booked a flight ticket and a hotel to Greenland in advance, and he even hired a local translator online.
The official language of Greenland was Greenlandic. Since one-sixth of the population was of Danish descent, some people also spoke Danish. Unfortunately, although Zhang Heng had mastered eight languages, neither of them was on his list.
So if he wanted to move around in Greenland, at least in places with people, he would need a translator.
Zhang Heng screened a few resumes from a travel website, then used his normal distribution to select a girl named Song Jia. Zhang Heng looked at her resume again and found that she was a mixed-race child. Her maternal grandfather was Chinese, which made her a quarter of Chinese descent. Song Jia's grandmother, on the other hand, was an Eskimo.
That made her a mix of Chinese, Danish, and Eskimo blood. She was still a graduate student, and she worked as a translator to earn money to buy a second-hand car. Her resume was very clean. After reading it, Zhang Heng called her, told her about the service he needed, and agreed on the employment fee.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heng spent a few more days purchasing some supplies that he might need in Greenland. After that, he looked at the time. There was only a day left before the end of the proxy war quest. The ranking battle on the official website had also entered a white-hot stage.
Pegasus, who used to be at the top of the list, had fallen to the ninth place. The first place now belonged to Arc of Light's president, Eryue Weicheng, with a score of 2,892. The second and third place were also members of Arc of Light. This caused an uproar on the forum.
Among the three major guilds, Silver Wings was the oldest and had the most members on the second front line, almost as many as the remaining two guilds combined. These two guilds were also veteran powerhouses. Arc of Light was the latest to be established, and it had the shortest history. Other than the conflict with Shen Xixi's union, it was the relatively low-key among the three major guilds.
The advantage of Arc of Light was its high execution from top to bottom. Eryue Weicheng was a senior executive in the real world, and the organizational structure he designed was very efficient. Everyone had their own responsibilities, and the players who joined Arc of Light were more like employees of Arc of Light instead of a loose player alliance like the traditional game guilds.
Of course, doing so would definitely sacrifice some freedom. However, Arc of Light's benefits were the best among the three major guilds. Over the years, it had attracted many powerful and ambitious players to join. No one dared to look down on them.
It was just that the onlookers did not expect Arc of Light's strength to develop to such an extent. In this proxy war quest, Arc of Light's guild actually took the top three spots. It was not until the fourth spot was taken by the Second Frontline. Silver Wing's strength was greatly affected due to the death of their leader in the Dreamland of Death. This time, there were only two players in the top ten, and they were ranked ninth and tenth respectively.
Perhaps this was also the reason why the new president, Pegasus, had finished all three games so early. He also knew that he might not be able to compete with the other two guilds, so he had taken the first place on the leaderboard early to attract attention and increase Silver Wing's reputation. However, as his competitors continued to show their strength, he only stayed at the top of the leaderboard for a short while before he was overtaken by the people behind him.
As for Zhang Heng, he had also fallen out of the top 50 and was now ranked 89th. The discussion about him, the former first place, had basically cooled down. And because his score had not changed, some people even suspected that he had died in the next quest.
But at this moment, the main character was walking into the lounge on the second floor of the bar with his new sword. He greeted the bartender behind the bar counter and sat in his usual booth.
23:55。 The familiar dizziness hit him, and Zhang Heng began his second quest in the proxy war.

Zhang Heng was a little confused by the game background that looked like a city advertisement. However, he still managed to get some information from the introduction. First, New Shanghai 0297 seemed to be a newly built city. Second, this city was invested and built by a conglomerate. It was hard to imagine that a conglomerate could come up with such a large amount of investment. Third, this city belonged to a certain federation. There were still many federal countries, such as the United States, Russia, Germany, Belgium … all of which were federal. However, it was also hard to imagine that any of them would name their newly built city Shanghai 0297.
Without more information, Zhang Heng couldn't make any further inferences for the time being.
Other than the game background, the way he earned points in this quest also made Zhang Heng very confused. The previous quest's combat mission had been changed to a collection mission. It sounded like the difficulty had been reduced a lot, but Zhang Heng didn't think it would be that simple.
The difficulty of the proxy war dungeon had been discussed on the forum for countless pages. Based on the players' feedback, there was no doubt that the proxy war dungeon was much more difficult than ordinary dungeons because these dungeons were targeted at agents with supernatural powers.
And most of the agents fought in teams with reliable teammates, unlike Zhang Heng who chose to fight solo. This meant that the difficulty Zhang Heng faced was undoubtedly the highest among all players. Even if he had the extra 24/7 to help him, he needed to be vigilant at all times.
Judging from the name of this quest, Zhang Heng was supposed to protect someone. However, it was strange that the main mission did not mention this part at all. There must be a reason for this abnormality, and that was why Zhang Heng paid special attention to it.
As the countdown ended, Zhang Heng opened his eyes again.
He found himself standing in an elegant community. In front of him was a white building that looked a little like a Tokyo Dome. However, it was not a stadium, but an apartment building. Every household had a balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows, and various plants were planted on the balconies. Below the dome, there was a large green lawn.
I recommend "Super Mechanic" by Qi Peijia. In fact, even if I don't recommend it, everyone should know about it. It is the game channel's monthly votes ranking all year round. It's a game in a different world. The protagonist transmigrates to an NPC before the game's launch, harvesting leeks from the players … LK7.
