In the manor, Han Xiao rubbed his chin as he pondered.
The face simulator had changed his appearance, and it was impossible to recognize him without close contact.
He had escaped from Stardragon, but the interface had not shown any decrease in favorability. Since they had not become enemies, there was still a lot of room for negotiation.
Han Xiao had a deep impression of Di Su Su. This woman always liked to flirt with Li Ya Lin, and even though Li Ya Lin rejected her, she would always try to get close to Li Ya Lin. Even her style of dressing was similar to Li Ya Lin's. Han Xiao could tell at a glance that the pure friendship between girls was like the blooming of lilies.
…
Two days later …
The sniper bullet jumped out of the gun and killed the last enemy sniper a few hundred meters away. The smoking battlefield emitted a pungent smell, and the heavily injured enemies once again retreated like the tide. Han Xiao exhaled, leaned against the wall, and sat down. He closed his eyes to ease the tension in his nerves.
The waves of enemies were stronger than the last. Helicopters, armored vehicles, and even small tanks were deployed. There were also many powerful Supers and elite soldiers on the battlefield, which posed a great threat.
You have defeated a wave of attackers (5/5)
Fourth round completed. You have received 200,000 EXP.
Hidden requirement 'Prevent Division 13 from appearing' failed. Additional fifth round unlocked.
Han Xiao was stunned. So the hidden requirement was to stop Division 13. He really did not expect this. After thinking about it carefully, he understood why he had missed this hidden requirement.
If he could end every battle quickly and not cause such a huge commotion, perhaps Division 13 would not have come. However, this requirement was too difficult. Even if he had guessed it, it would still be difficult to complete. Han Xiao was not troubled at all. Hidden requirements were always met with success and failure. It was normal.
The original mission only had four rounds, but the failure of the hidden requirement actually triggered an additional fifth round. Is this a blessing in disguise? What kind of mission is it?
Han Xiao was curious.
Mission Requirement Changed
Fifth Round Mission: Follow Wang Yuan and face danger.
Mission Failure Condition: Death.
Reward: 30000 EXP.
Special Reward: 300,000 EXP.
Han Xiao stared blankly for a moment, feeling that the fifth round of the mission was strange.
The reward didn't match his current points. It was actually ten times less than the special reward. Moreover, the mission requirements were very flexible. What kind of danger should he face?
The failure condition of the quest was probably set to prevent players from reviving. Bennett was protecting Wang Yuan, so the danger was most likely directed at him.
This mission revealed a very obvious subtext — "Hehe, I'm very dangerous."
…
Two days ago.
This was an abandoned warehouse with dim lights. At the same time, it was also Bai Jin's secret base.
A wisp of nimble lightning coiled around his arm, illuminating a young face with a trace of evil in his eyes.
Bai Jin flipped his palm, and the lightning entered his skin and disappeared.
"Ding."
The computer on the table in front of him lit up. He had received an encrypted email. Bai Jin opened it.
"Assassination target: Wang Yuan."
"Location: 20 kilometers north of Seagull City, River Valley Manor."
"Defensive strength: 214 mercenaries, 14 Blood Pact Society killers, Moonlight (Dark), Hunter (Dark), Volcano (Dark), Golden Fox (Dark), Mr. Black (Scorpion) … complete defensive fortifications and firepower."
"Reward: Two million."
Bai Jin's eyes were gloomy as he said coldly, "You want me to do it for just two million? Do you think I'm on the same level as those trashy mercenaries and killers? "
He replied with a rejection.
Not long after, the other party sent a new email, directly raising the reward to six million.
"That's more like it." Bai Jin's lips curled up, full of evil and arrogance.
From the beginning to the end, he only cared about the reward and did not care about the goal.
'Lightning Ember' Bai Jin, a super criminal, had escaped the pursuit of the Six Nations countless times. His Esper Ability had powerful destructive power. The number of bounty hunters, agents of various countries, and even Germinal Organization executives that died at his hands exceeded three digits! Even the military's encirclement was easily broken by him.
Blue Star's individual combat strength was divided into three levels, like a pyramid structure. The bottom level was mostly Supers who had just awakened not long ago and ordinary soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. The second level was mostly Supers, such as Germinal Organization executives like Pan Kuang and secret agents of the Six Nations. The third level was very rare, at least LV 40. They were the trump cards of various countries, some super criminals, and the leaders of various forces. People like Bennett were at the top of the third level.
Bai Jin happened to be an Esper who had entered the third level!
…
In the evening, Wang Yuan gathered everyone.
"I'm going to Seagull City to contact Division 13. I need to bring along some powerful people as temporary guards. The rest of you will continue to guard the manor."
Before anyone could react, Wang Yuan called out names. "Moonlight, Volcano, Hunter, Golden Fox, Mr. Black, I need the five of you to protect me. I will increase the reward accordingly. If you're not willing, I won't force you."
"No problem." Hunter was the first to speak, and the others had no objections.
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He knew that if he refused to follow, the mission would fail. He nodded in agreement, then looked at Bennett beside him and asked, "But is he going?"
Bennett nodded. "I'll go too."
Han Xiaoxin's heart sank. Bennett could protect Wang Yuan, which meant that the danger was mainly the assassins who followed him.
Who was Brother Xiao? He was an experienced mission master! Suddenly, he smelled a strong sense of foreboding. At such a time, perhaps it would be a good choice to counter the poison. For example, saying things like "This mission is definitely going to go wrong" or "The enemy will definitely attack, and they will be very strong" might be effective. Of course, it was more likely that his words would come true …
He followed Wang Yuan into the car and set off for Seagull City. Han Xiao realized that no one in the car was talking. They all had a "don't talk to me, let me continue to be cold" expression on their faces. He couldn't find anyone to talk to.
Han Xiao turned around and saw Golden Fox hiding in a corner, as far away from him as possible. When she saw Han Xiao looking at her, she quickly turned her face away, not daring to look at him.
"Isn't it just a joke? Is the shadow so big?" Han Xiao said helplessly.
On the other side of the forest, Di Su Su, who had been monitoring River Valley Manor, also set off.
"The target has left the manor and is heading towards Seagull City. A few assassins are following him. Keep an eye on him."
…
The stars were shining brightly in the night sky, and Seagull City was brightly lit. This important town in the east of Stardragon was mainly industrial. There were many factories in the suburbs, and the huge chimneys were like fingers pointing to the sky. Because of the many factories, the atmosphere of the city was heavy.
The sentry post was notified by the higher-ups and allowed Han Xiao's car to pass through.
After passing through the sentry post, a black car from Division 13 was waiting by the roadside. A member of Division 13 walked up and said, "Mr. Wang Yuan, Officer Mo is waiting for you at the branch."
"Young man, please lead the way." Wang Yuan laughed.
The member of Division 13 glanced at the five fully armed assassins. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything and led the way.
The two cars arrived at the Seagull City branch that was under martial law. Outside the gate, the member of Division 13 expressed that those with weapons were not allowed to enter.
Wang Yuan nodded and turned to Han Xiao and the rest. "Then you guys can stay in Seagull City for the night. At this time tomorrow, gather here."
After that, he walked into the branch with Bennett.
The assassins stayed where they were and stared at each other.
Volcano was a burly Shanui person. He asked in a low voice, "What do you guys plan to do?"
Hunter pouted. "I'm going to the bar to have some fun." He then looked at Golden Fox and smiled. "Do you want to come with me?"
Golden Fox smiled and waved her hand. "Forget it. I'm more interested in handsome men."
Hunter snorted unhappily.
"Hunter, I'll go with you." Volcano laughed and looked at Moonlight. "What about you?"
Moonlight was expressionless. He looked very stiff. "I'll patrol around here."
Volcano then invited Han Xiao, but Han Xiao waved his hand and declined. Volcano did not insist.
The five of them went their separate ways.
The fifth round of the mission actually gave us some free time. Danger might appear at any time.
Han Xiao thought about it. He did not want to miss out on the rare free time. He planned to complete the prize-pool mission in Seagull City.
Since danger was bound to appear, he might as well do something else. That way, he would not waste time. Han Xiao was always vigilant. It did not matter when danger appeared. There was no need for him to deliberately hide.
