Life Dungeon Game

However, he wasn't in a hurry. He knew that the 'boss' didn't trust him right now, and it would be something to be wary of if he suddenly handed over real power to him.

Of course, Nordin didn't dare to offend Heo, so he would consult Heo on important matters.

He would generally just pretend to agree with his opinion.

The two maintained this tacit understanding of 'reciprocity'.

However, Nordin usually doesn't visit Heo in person; he generally asks directly over the phone.

This visit is most likely for something important.

He picked up his phone and called Nordin.

The call connected quickly, and Nordin's cautious voice came through the phone, "Mr. Hu Wen, have you rested well?"

When He Ao loses contact while entering a dungeon, he usually locks himself away under the pretense of sleeping.

"Yes, is there something you need?"

He Ao answered quickly.

“It’s like this,” Nordin said slowly, as if he was organizing his thoughts, “The ‘boss’ has ordered three C-ranks from the vicinity of the entire Tia Empire to go to the Western Lands. He has a secret mission to assign.”

"I'm not included?"

He asked calmly.

He now roughly understands that, apart from the already deceased 'psychologist' and 'mystic,' the boss probably has three more C-level subordinates in the Tia Empire and the surrounding area.

This number is already terrifying, considering that before He Ao joined, the entire research institute's overseas department only had three C-level personnel.

Of course, this is also related to the vast territory of the Central Plains, the large number of C-level units that need to be allocated, and the fact that the research institute's main purpose was not overseas.

Moreover, the three C-level officers selected by the overseas department are all exceptionally capable in combat.

In the entire main world, the number of superhumans is currently extremely small.

Since Nordin mentioned that the boss transferred three C-level employees, he naturally didn't include He Ao, who was newly added.

“Don’t be angry,” Nordin quickly said, realizing that He’s tone was off. “The boss doesn’t want you to leave because he has more important things to entrust to you. After these three C-levels leave, the areas they are responsible for may need your supervision. Of course, your compensation will not be less.”

Oh, another promotion.

It's only been a few days.

Of course, He Ao also knew that the 'boss' had not really handed over these spheres of influence to him; he was only nominally 'acting in charge,' and most things would probably still be handled by Nordin.

When those C-level individuals return, he will return these areas to them.

Of course, if those C-levels are always

If they can't come back, then that's a different story altogether.

These "C-level" people who went there were all the "boss's" confidants.

However, as a law-abiding citizen, He Ao still hopes they can come back alive.

"Has something happened in the West?"

He asked softly.

“Well,” Nordin said somewhat awkwardly, “I don’t know either. How could someone like me possibly guess what the boss is thinking?”

It's not that I don't know, it's just that I can't say.

Even if he didn't say it, He Ao could roughly guess what his boss wanted to do.

He paused briefly, seemingly thinking, before calmly asking,

"New ruins have appeared in the Western Lands?"

“This,” Nordin said hesitantly, “you know, I can’t say.”

It's not that it doesn't exist, but that it can't be said.

This essentially confirms He's conjecture.

Generally, if Heo's question is not true, Nordin will directly deny it; the lack of denial itself is an answer.

He Ao stretched out his hand. The air was humid, and the bright moon in the sky was gradually obscured by the clouds.

If ruins appear, what choice will 'Hao Yi' make?

On the long-haul flight, He Ao aimlessly flipped through the magazine in his hand, his mind wandering.

He was trying to think from the 'boss's' perspective.

For the 'boss', the most important enemy right now should be 'Hao Yi'.

Not only did Hao Yi steal the Verola, which he was determined to possess, but he also revealed his deepest secret at the last moment: "What I took from the tower."

Once those words were spoken, Hao Yi's dangerousness should have been ranked first in the boss's mind.

Based on the information the 'boss' currently has, 'Hao Yi' is a mysterious superhuman who can manipulate B-level power. He is very intelligent and has some kind of intricate connection with the ruins, especially the 'tower' within them.

Based on this information, it is easy to draw a conclusion.

That is, Hao Yi would be interested in 'ruins'.

With the opening of the ruins this time, 'Hao Yi' will likely head to the Republic of Rhodan.

Having reasoned to this point, the 'boss' should believe that he has partially grasped 'Hao Yi's' movements.

A mysterious and elusive superhuman who pilots a Class B train and can traverse space at will is not easy to capture.

However, if this superhuman is bound to appear at a certain fixed location, then a trap can be set specifically for him.

The entire situation shifted from passive to active.

He Ao put down the magazine in his hand.

This was also the best opportunity for him to 'find' his boss.

So he agreed to Yang De's suggestion and set off for the Republic of Ruodan.

Yang De booked him a first-class ticket on Xidu Airlines, which was his first time flying first class on a plane under normal circumstances.

Although he had only flown a few times.

His trip was kept secret; apart from the research institute's intelligence chief in the Republic of Rhodan, no one knew he was going to the Republic of Rhodan.

The intelligence chief only knew that he was a deputy minister, but did not know any specific information about him.

Since there are very few living people who have seen him and know his identity as a researcher, Yang De's arrangement for him this time is to remain as insidious as possible and take advantage of any opportunities that arise.

If you can't pick a peach, get out of there quickly.

"Hello sir, this is our menu for today."

The flight attendant handed me a menu with gold trim.

The first-class seats on West Air are brown, reclining leather sofas, with a silver partition surrounding half of the sofa, leaving a space the size of a doorway.

On the railing opposite the sofa, there is a monitor that is more than 20 inches in size.

At that moment, the flight attendant was at the door, half-squatting down to hand the menu to He Ao.

"Thank you."

He Ao flipped through the menu and randomly ordered a steak and some snacks.

He glanced at the sky outside the window. His flight was around 1 p.m., and it would take nearly ten hours to reach the Republic of Ika in the West, from where he would transfer to the Republic of Rhodan.

The entire journey takes about eighteen hours, and the time difference with Middle-earth is eight hours.

So he will probably arrive around 11 p.m. local time.

After a long journey, let's have a meal and rest.

The Republic of Jhodan is a small country on the western border of Turkey, with only one international airport in the suburbs of its capital, Ellen.

In the waiting area on the first floor, a young man wearing a slightly wrinkled blue work uniform, with a hint of fatigue between his brows, was sitting in a seat, occasionally glancing at his watch.

He seemed to have just stepped down from his post and was rushing to pick someone up.

He had a thin face, short eyebrows, and some stubble on his side. Although he had the appearance of a foreigner from the Middle East, he was as inconspicuous as a drop of water thrown into the ocean among a crowd of people with brown hair and blue eyes.

Even people passing by wouldn't glance at him.

It was nearly midnight, the stars were shining brightly, and the airport was already brightly lit.

Ellen Airport was built during the reign of the last King of Jhoden. It cost a huge amount of manpower and resources. When it was first built, designers from various countries were invited to design it. It was decorated with gold and jewels and was extremely luxurious.

This airport originally belonged to the royal family. After the fall of the royal family and the killing of the king, the successor dug up all the gold and jewels and then sold it to a private enterprise in the Tia Empire.

This airport only undergoes basic maintenance each year, and over the years it has gradually become outdated.

However, through those dilapidated walls and buildings, one can still vaguely see the former glory and splendor of this airport.

There weren't many people coming and going in the airport.

As a small, remote country, the Republic of Rhodan is not very lively.

Most of the people who fly to Ellen Airport are from the Republic of Rhodan returning home from abroad; only a very small number are outsiders who come to make a living.

However, those who pay close attention will notice that there are more and more 'foreigners' arriving at the airport recently.

As a new flight from the Republic of Ika arrived, the sparsely populated exit began to be filled with dense crowds.

The man sitting in the chair also quickly got up and walked towards the arrival gate.

Among the surging crowd of brown-haired, blue-eyed people, the man quickly spotted the person he was waiting for.

He was a boy who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. He was wearing dark jeans, a black hoodie, and a shawl draped over his shoulders.

He wore a thin black jacket and carried a thick black backpack on his back.

Looking around with curious eyes.

He looked like a clueless international student who was going on his first long trip abroad.

Just as the man was wondering if he had picked the wrong person, the boy's gaze swept over the crowd of people picking up passengers and almost instantly locked onto the man.

Then she walked straight toward him.
