It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

Card Masters Alliance, in the office.

Zhou Qian was engrossed in handling some official business when a knock came from outside the room, interrupting his thoughts.

Upon hearing the knock, Zhou Qian frowned and said, "Come in."

As Zhou Qian finished speaking, Jiang Beiling walked in through the door, carrying a document in her arms.

Upon seeing Jiang Beiling, Zhou Qian put down his pen, picked up a thermos, and asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Beiling placed the materials in her hand on Zhou Qian's desk: "The rescue mission in Taoyuan Village has ended."

"How is the situation?"

"It has now been confirmed that Sun Zhi and the other three have all perished."

Upon hearing Jiang Beiling's words, Zhou Qian paused, his hand holding the thermos cup still. He asked incredulously, "Sun Zhi sacrificed himself?"

It should be noted that in their Lingjiang City branch, Sun Zhi is considered a veteran, and his strength is above average among all the card masters.

Most importantly, the mission Sun Zhi was carrying out this time was just an ordinary cleanup mission.

Sun Zhi had carried out countless ordinary missions like this, so how could he have died so inexplicably?

Zhou Qian immediately realized something, and his face darkened as he asked, "Is there a problem with the Peach Blossom Village secret realm?"

Jiang Beiling nodded: "That's right. According to what we've learned, this time the Peach Blossom Village secret realm went out of control, causing Peach Blossom Village to give birth to a nightmare-level monster!"

"What, nightmare level?"

The moment Zhou Qian heard the words "nightmare level," his expression changed drastically.

According to the rules of the Card Master Alliance, if a Nightmare-level monster is discovered, a Silver-level Card Master must be assigned to eliminate it.

Only Silver-level card masters have enough confidence to eliminate a Nightmare-level monster.

Even the most powerful Bronze-level card master can be defeated by a Nightmare-level monster.

This explains why Zhou Qian looked so anxious when he learned that a nightmare-level monster existed in Peach Blossom Village.

Zhou Qian quickly asked, "What about Lu Ya? How's the rescue team doing?"

Jiang Beiling replied, "Among the members of the rescue team, apart from Su Chichi who sacrificed herself, the rest are still alive and are not seriously injured."

This news brought Zhou Qian a slight sense of relief.

He was genuinely worried that Lu Ya and the others would all perish in Taoyuan Village.

If that were the case, he would truly have lost both his wife and his army.

Even Zhou Qian couldn't afford such a loss.

After confirming Lu Ya and the others' safety, Zhou Qian spoke again, saying, "Alright, now help me contact the other four captains immediately."

Jiang Beiling seemed somewhat puzzled: "Captain Zhou, is there something you need to discuss with the other four captains?"

Zhou Qian frowned as well: "Bei Ling, are you still asleep? Such a big thing has happened in Taoyuan Village. Of course we need to contact the other four team leaders and hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to solve the problem in Taoyuan Village."

Jiang Beiling nodded in realization, then stuck out her tongue and said, "Oh right, Captain Zhou, I forgot to tell you, I think you might not need to call an emergency meeting."

Why?

"Because Lu Ya has already eliminated that nightmare-level monster."

The moment Jiang Beiling uttered those words, the entire office fell into a deathly silence.

Zhou Qian stared wide-eyed, his face showing an expression of utter disbelief.

This news was like a bombshell, leaving Zhou Qian somewhat stunned.

After standing there stunned for a good ten seconds, Zhou Qian slowly came to his senses. He could hardly believe his ears and asked incredulously, "You just said that Lu Ya eliminated that Nightmare-level monster?"

"A nightmare-level monster was wiped out by a bronze-level card master like him?"

Jiang Beiling nodded with a strange expression.

In fact, not only Zhou Qian, but she herself was also stunned for a long time when she first learned of this news, so she could understand Zhou Qian's feelings at this moment.

After confirming he hadn't misheard, Zhou Qian gasped, grimacing. He scratched his head, his face still showing disbelief and shock: "How did he, a Bronze-level card master, do that?"

When asked about this, Jiang Beiling's expression turned strange: "He said he was lucky to have dealt with that nightmare-level monster."

"Just good luck, it's that simple?"

At this moment, three big question marks involuntarily appeared in Zhou Qian's mind.

He knew very well that this kind of thing couldn't be solved by luck.

Jiang Beiling then added, "Regarding the specific process of this rescue mission, I had Wu Tong, Gao Liang, and Dai Wei write a report and submit it."

As she spoke, Jiang Beiling handed the document in her hand to Zhou Qian.

After receiving the report from Jiang Beiling, Zhou Qian quickly began to read it.

After reading through the entire report, Zhou Qian first let out a low chuckle, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hehehe..."

This sudden scene terrified Jiang Beiling. She quickly asked, "Captain Zhou, are you alright? Stop laughing, I'm scared."

Zhou Qian then realized that he seemed to have lost his composure. He coughed lightly and tried to control his expression: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just thinking about some happy things."

Jiang Beiling asked curiously, "What's so exciting?"

Zhou Qian couldn't help but smile: "I got a gold item in a single pull!"

Jiang Beiling: ? ? ?

Jiang Beiling wore an expression of disbelief.

However, Zhou Qian didn't elaborate much on this matter. He continued, "By the way, contact the families of Sun Zhi and the other fallen truck drivers..."

Zhou Qian paused as if pondering something. After a moment, he sighed and said, "Then, when contacting them, be sure to use tactful language. Don't provoke them further, and make sure the compensation is adequate."

Jiang Beiling nodded: "Understood, I'll take care of these things later."

Zhou Qian then added, "Regarding Lu Ya, adjust the difficulty of this mission from D to C. The reward for this mission will be the C-level reward."

"Also, let Lu Ya choose one of those cards as compensation for him."

Zhou Qian emphasized the words "those few sheets".

Jiang Beiling instantly understood Zhou Qian's meaning, and asked in surprise, "Are you really going to let him choose?"

Zhou Qian nodded: "It's alright, just do as I say."

Jiang Beiling didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and walked out of the office, closing the door behind her.

However, the office door had barely closed when Jiang Beiling heard Zhou Qian's villainous laughter coming from inside.

"Hehehe... I've finally gotten a gold item in a single pull...hehehe..."
