The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

The outline of the chaotic rock forest grew smaller and smaller in the field of vision, eventually turning into a blurry black dot.

Yin Chen was still pondering Chen Guan's words, "The end of the world."

These words were like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, stirring up unprecedented ripples in his heart, which had been calm for more than a decade.

Chen Guan sat in the far corner, while the fifth-tier Lightning Leopard leader lay quietly at his feet.

Because Chen Guan could suppress it, Black Crow let him do as he pleased, even if it was against the rules. Geniuses always have some privileges.

Rules? Rules are meant to be broken.

Its demonic aura had been completely suppressed. Its massive body was curled up into a ball, its eyelids drooping, and it seemed oblivious to the others in the carriage. Only when Chen Guan's hand occasionally stroked the top of its head would it let out a satisfied purr.

"Chen Guan." Hong Yuan leaned closer, biting a pencil stub. "I did the math. We captured seventy-three fourth-tier beasts and one fifth-tier beast this time. If we calculate based on the market price given by the Great Wall at 120%, and after deducting taxes and splitting it equally, each of us can get 80 million."

Her voice echoed in the carriage, and even the driver glanced at her a couple more times in the rearview mirror.

Yin Chen opened his eyes and said calmly, "You can take mine too. I have no need for this kind of currency."

"Young Master Yin, you can't go back on your word!" Hong Yuan's eyes lit up.

"This amount of money isn't enough for me to upgrade the staff to the highest level of enchantment." Yin Chen straightened his cuffs, his face showing disdain. The young master was indeed not short of money.

Hongyuan immediately turned her gaze to Chen Guan.

"My share is mine." Chen Guan's words shattered her fantasy of keeping it all to herself.

Having money is better than having no money. Since coming to this world, Chen Guan hasn't made much money. He only spends money on things he doesn't normally need, otherwise he would be unable to move an inch.

Hong Yuan was deflated, but also satisfied. That much money was enough for her to upgrade herself.

The car stopped two hours later.

On the desolate Gobi Desert, several half-collapsed cement buildings stand in the wind and sand.

The rusty barbed wire stretched crookedly out of the boundary line, and the words on the warning signs had long been worn away by the wind and sand. This place was thirty kilometers away from the main defense line of the Great Wall and belonged to the no-man's-land buffer zone.

Black Crow pushed open the car door, jumped out, and crushed a piece of dried animal bone on the ground.

"arrive."

Chen Guan stood up, and Cheetah immediately got up, jumped out of the car first, and stood aside to wait for Chen Guan to get down. Yin Chen and Hong Yuan followed closely behind.

"Jing!" Black Crow called out to the empty ruins.

The sound of steel breaking came from above.

A figure jumped down from the boom of a dilapidated tower crane covered in rust.

The man was wearing a bright red Hawaiian shirt, beach shorts, and flip-flops.

When he landed, his knees didn't even bend. From the height of several stories, he floated to the ground like a feather, making a dull thud on the concrete, but without raising much dust.

It was Instructor Jing. After changing out of his instructor's uniform, he looked more like a street urchin.

Black Crow stood still, looked at the man in the floral shirt and flip-flops in front of him, then at the three students behind him, and his Adam's apple bobbed twice.

Having worked in the Great Wall system for so many years, he had heard about his colleagues' various quirks and eccentricities.

People from the Special Operations Department are always independent and do things their own way, and Instructor Jing in front of him is even more famously unconventional, but seeing this outfit in person still made him a little uncomfortable.

At least wear some normal clothes! This is an insult to civility!

Despite his disdain, Black Crow swallowed his complaints.

Can't be bothered.

"Jing." Black Crow stepped forward and greeted him.

"Hey, you've worked hard." Instructor Jing waved his hand, his gaze passing over the black crow and landing on Chen Guan behind him, as well as the Lightning Leopard leader with its restrained aura at Chen Guan's feet.

His eyes lit up, and he whistled.

"Nice kitten, quite energetic."

The Lightning Cheetah sensed pressure from a higher level of life, letting out a threatening growl and its fur standing on end.

Chen Guan raised his hand and patted it lightly on the head.

The cheetah's roar caught in its throat, and its massive body relaxed again, but the wariness in its eyes turned into pure fear.

It buried its head even lower, as if it wanted to dig a hole in the ground and burrow into it.

Instructor Jing's smile widened. What a cute little thing! It's a pity it's already been tamed by Chen Guan. He can't very well take something from his subordinate, can he?

"Black Crow, thanks. I've taken over the man. You can go back and write your report now." Instructor Jing waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly.

Black Crow's expressionless face twitched slightly.

He didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

He didn't want to stay here for even a second longer. Being with Jing made him feel like his meager salary was just buying his life.

The armored vehicle started its engine and quickly disappeared into the distance at the edge of the Gobi Desert.

Only Jing, Chen Guan, and the leopard remained at the scene.

The wind and sand swept through, swirling up the withered leaves on the ground, creating a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Instructor Jing sized up the three people and the leopard in front of him, his eyes like those of an old lady picking out cabbages at a market.

"Tsk tsk." He circled Hong Yuan, his gaze lingering on her giant axe for a moment: "Little girl, you're quite strong, but you have more muscle in your brain than in your body."

Hong Yuan's eyebrows shot up, and the veins on her hand gripping the axe handle bulged.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was an instructor, she would have already swung the axe at him.

He then walked up to Yin Chen and looked him up and down.

"Not bad, looks great, and the clothes are clean. He looks like the type who would cry for a long time if he got punched."

Yin Chen maintained an elegant posture, but the corner of his eye had begun to twitch.

He swore it was the most outrageous compliment he had ever heard in his life.

This person is insane!

As for the coffin, Instructor Jing didn't even glance at it.

What else is there to say about this person?

"Alright, stop standing there. We have guests, so we have to entertain them." Instructor Jing dusted off his hands and turned to walk deeper into the ruins. "Follow me."

His flip-flops made a clattering sound on the gravel, completely out of place in this desolate and lifeless environment.

Chen Guan didn't say anything and followed.

The cheetah leader followed closely behind, step by step.

Hong Yuan and Yin Chen exchanged a glance, and could only grit their teeth and follow.

The ruins are much larger than they appear from the outside.

Amidst the ruins, one can see the remains of many huge metal components, and rusted bullet casings and the skeletons of unknown monsters are scattered on the ground.

"Instructor, what are we doing here? Is it a new assessment?" Hong Yuan finally couldn't help but ask.

"An assessment? I have no interest in such boring stuff." Instructor Jing didn't even turn his head, his voice lazy: "Just consider it a party to celebrate the chaos you've caused on Battlefield Number Three."

A party? In this godforsaken place?
