My main world refreshes weekly.

"What?"

"New colleague, Rank 10?"

The man with the revolver glared.

Chen Ci's expression automatically switched to respectful mode as he extended his hand and said, "Hello, brothers, I am Chen Ci."

The group remained motionless.

She stood at the door, sizing him up.

The man with the revolver spoke first: "Dude, if we're talking about looks, I admit you're better than me, but this isn't a talent show, it's 'Shushan'."

"Shushan" is the code name for their team.

"Excuse my bluntness, but a newcomer at Sequence 10 will only hold us back... Keep it up." The man with the revolver didn't shake Chen Ci's hand, but just patted Chen Ci's shoulder before brushing past him and going to the locker room to change clothes.

The man in the vest was very strong. His muscles weren't as exaggerated as Hu Hansan's, but he gave Chen Ci a more ferocious feeling than Hu Hansan. He was like an unassuming wild beast that didn't show off at first glance, but could unleash deadly power at any time.

He didn't give Chen Ci a friendly look either, or rather, he simply didn't take Chen Ci seriously. Upon hearing that Chen Ci was a colleague, he glanced at Chen Ci and then continued wiping his sweat as he walked away.

The third person was rather elegant—referring to his attire. He had long hair, wore ancient Hanfu that was completely different from modern clothes, his white robes were as white as snow, his cuffs were decorated with gold, a brocade belt was tied around his waist, and he held a wooden sword, looking like a young master who had stepped out of an ancient romance film.

The wooden sword that Chen Ci saw flying around in the air during the training ground was his.

He also came up with the team's code name.

He seemed quite dissatisfied with Chen Ci's face, leaned closer to take a look, circled around Chen Ci, scrutinized him, and then let out a heavy snort.

"Hmph, nothing special."

With a flick of his sleeve, he swiftly departed.

As for handshakes...

Is Sequence 10 qualified to shake hands with him?

"..." Chen Ci's hand remained suspended in mid-air as three people passed by, none of whom shook his hand.

Jiang Wanxin came over and took his hand, smiling as she said, "Don't mind them, they just have that kind of bad temper."

"It's okay, I like this straightforwardness," Chen said. This was the truth; it was better to openly look down on someone than to be friends on the surface but gossip behind their back. Just like those gamers outside, he was prepared for this.

Upon touching his soft, smooth palm, Chen Ci subconsciously squeezed it, thinking to himself that the older sister was taking good care of him.

"I gave you a way out, and you still took it." Jiang Wanxin gave Chen Ci a coquettish look, then withdrew her hand at the right moment and introduced him to Chen Ci: "The one who was holding the gun just now is called Lu Buping. He's a Star Envoy like me, Sequence 7."

"The big guy is called Zhou Yifeng, his destiny is that of a madman, and he's almost at Sequence 6."

"And there's that guy who likes to wear Hanfu and show off, his name is Luo Bai, a Qi Master, also Sequence 7."

"No wonder..." Chen Ci muttered. The entire team was Sequence 7, so it was true that he was dragging the team down.

As Jiang Wanxin was talking, she realized something was wrong. Why was someone missing?

Excluding Chen Ci, their team has a total of five people.

"Lin Moyan, where are you?" Jiang Wanxin called out.

At this moment, a tall boy wearing black-rimmed glasses, lying on a puzzle mat with his back against a yoga ball, a laptop on his lap, and wearing black-rimmed glasses, quietly raised his hand by the wall at the far end of the room: "Sister Jiang, I'm here."

Jiang Wanxin asked curiously, "Why did you go and stay there?"

Lin Moyan: "I've always been here, ever since you came in."

Jiang Wanxin: "..."

Chen Ci: "..."

what?

If he overheard all of Jiang Wanxin's flirting and testing of each other, wouldn't he have heard everything?

Jiang Wanxin rubbed her temples, looking troubled, and sighed, "This is Lin Moyan, a Star Envoy, Sequence 7. He has a 'Little Thing' attribute, which reduces his presence and makes him difficult to detect, similar to invisibility."

"Assassin?" The word came to Chen Ci's mind reflexively.

"He's not that powerful," Jiang Wanxin said. "On the contrary, you don't even need to consider him as Sequence 7. Xiao Lin is a hacker, his combat ability is relatively weak. He is responsible for calling up monitoring and overall information, and he usually doesn't go on missions with us."

"Aren't you from the School of Business Administration?" Jiang Wanxin asked. "Then he's your senior, he graduated the year before last."

"How could I run into a senior student?" Chen Ci looked at Lin Moyan with considerable surprise.

Lin Moyan smiled slightly shyly and gave him a friendly look.

OK, Chen Ci knows who he should befriend first in this team.

Not long after.

Zhou Yifeng and the others changed their clothes.

Jiang Wanxin glanced at her watch; it was a little past 19:30 PM.

"Let's go, let's meet up with the employer."

"Don't we need to hold a small meeting to assign tasks or something?" Chen Ci asked in a low voice.

"No need, it's already been done," Jiang Wanxin said, "including reporting it to the police."

Chen Ci: "..."

Is this really none of my business?

Jiang Wanxin put on her coat and tossed Chen Ci a new pair of earphones: "Put these on, let's go."

Chen Ci: "Oh."

……

……

Kuanzhai Alley, Qingyang District.

As one of Chengdu's most popular national-level tourist attractions, Kuanzhai Alley is incredibly crowded in the evening. Even on Mondays, the number of visitors rivals that of Chunxi Road on weekends, with internet celebrities and foreign friends taking photos and checking in everywhere.

A group of people strolled along the commercial street preserved from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The taverns and teahouses were bustling and lively, while the ancient houses and opera stages were simple and elegant. The sounds of music, laughter, and shouts filled the air. People were moving around, and if you took a few quick steps, you would bump into someone in front of you.

Surrounded by the antique courtyards and alleyways, Luo Bai's eye-catching Hanfu seemed to suit him quite well.

Chen Ci carried a small paper bowl containing stinky tofu worth a whopping 15 yuan, and walked at the back of the line with Jiang Wanxin.

To be honest, as a local from Chengdu, Chen Ci wasn't particularly interested in sightseeing, mainly because it was too crowded and tiring to walk around. After all, he was just a useless person with a physical strength of 4.

But if he were to come here while working and have his expenses reimbursed, then all I can say is, Kuanzhai Alley is truly amazing! Look at those green-tiled windows, look at those brackets and hanging flower pillars, they have such a charming old Chengdu atmosphere, and it's so lively!

He forked a piece of stinky tofu into his mouth and asked, mumbling, "Is this how you guys usually go on missions?"

Jiang Wanxin strolled along leisurely, nodding with a smile: "Isn't it relaxing?"

Chen Ci had already fallen in love with the job at first sight, saying, "I can do this job until I'm 80, even if it only costs 30,000 a day."

"Then you have to live to be 80 years old first."

Jiang Wanxin wasn't trying to criticize Chen Ci, but being a player is already a high-risk profession. The pressure of dungeons is already immense, and they also have to help others compete for world line rewards, adding another layer of risk. If the rewards aren't high, who would do it?

"So, according to you, shouldn't I buy myself some insurance?" Chen Ci asked.

"Remember to include me in the beneficiary list," Jiang Wanxin said with a playful smile.

During the conversation, the employer's voice came through the earpiece.

"Everyone, the world line rewards have been confirmed and distributed. You can proceed now."

Lin Moyan's reminder followed immediately: "Be careful, there are at least three suspected players within 100 meters of you, hurry up."

Jiang Wanxin pressed the button on her earphones: "Received."

The sightseeing time is over.

Zhou Yifeng, Luo Bai, and Lu Buping quickly dispersed.

The alleys of Kuanzhai Alley are shaped like a fish spine, crisscrossing and leading in all directions. The three people, who were originally taking a stroll, tacitly chose a direction and disappeared in the blink of an eye, which made Chen Ci feel a jolt and exclaim in his heart, "Wow!"

They acted immediately, so fast! He hadn't even finished eating the stinky tofu yet.

Also, what does it mean that the three people are suspected players?

Shall we fight?

"Stay close to me." Jiang Wanxin also abandoned her lazy, chatty demeanor and quickened her pace.

"Okay." Chen Ci quickly followed, casually placing the stinky tofu on a roadside trash can, pretending it was an ashtray.

No sooner had he and Jiang Wanxin left than a small, fair hand reached out from the crowd, holding a wooden skewer, and picked up the last piece of stinky tofu from Chen Ci's box.

"Mmm, it smells so good!"
