Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye's parents knew that Ye Chen was still hiding something from them, but there was no need to pry into everything.

Knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing.

My son has grown up and has his own ideas and ways of doing things.

Xiao Chen will definitely tell them anything that they can know.

He wouldn't tell them because they weren't strong enough to help him right now, and knowing too much would only cause them more trouble.

What they should do most is improve their own strength and not hold Xiao Chen back.

Ye's parents made up their minds to cultivate properly later.

Ye's mother was quickly distracted by the scenery outside.

"Wow, Xiamen is really beautiful!" Ye's mother exclaimed, taking out her phone and snapping away at the photos.

Looking at the scenery outside, Ye's father couldn't help but nod in approval.

I've seen cities viewed from the air on TV, but that's completely different from what you see in real life.

"I must say, it looks much better than what's on TV. It's definitely a big city; the outdoor lighting and ambient lighting are nowhere near what we have in our small county town!"

Ye Chen took his parents flying around Lucheng twice, enjoying the experience and getting a feel for what a big city is like.

......

The next day, which was the day before Lunar New Year's Eve.

Mr. and Mrs. Ye started cleaning early in the morning.

We've had our fun and our viewing, so it's time to clean up before the New Year.

Ye Chen wanted to hire a housekeeper, since it wouldn't hurt to spend a thousand or eight hundred more, but his mother said it was a waste of money.

The couple then took matters into their own hands and started cleaning.

Mother Ye also gave Da Huang and Xiao Liu a towel each, aiming to make full use of their labor.

Ye Chen went to the Tian Shu office area early, since staying at home would interfere with their spring cleaning and standing there would be a bit of a hindrance.

Just as he was making tea and resting his legs, the organization sent him a task, or rather, sent a task to the Tian Shu department.

The mission was about the prisoners that Black Wolf had mentioned before.

After careful consideration, the organization decided to exchange the prisoner with the Sakura Kingdom.

The exchange involved an ancient jade artifact and a member of the Beidou team.

Tian Shu's task was to escort the prisoners to complete this exchange mission.

Upon receiving this task, Ye Chen immediately fell into deep thought. Why would their Tian Shu department be assigned to carry out such a task?

In terms of apparent strength, Tian Shu is probably the weakest department in Beidou, right?

Moreover, Ye Chen is still a relatively new person in charge.

If ancient jade is so important to us, shouldn't we send a more capable department?

How can we ensure the mission goes perfectly?

Is it serious that they're sending their weakest department to carry out this task?

This is precisely what Ye Chen can't understand.

Is this a test that the organization's higher-ups want to give him?

Or was this done intentionally? Did the mole work, sending their weakest department on a mission to give the female prisoner a chance to escape?

Just then, Ye Chen's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.

"Hello, Ye Chen, this is Liu Jingxuan, the director of the General Office!"

A middle-aged or elderly voice came from the other end of the phone, and the voice was somewhat stern and unsmiling.

Although Ye Chen had never met the people at the top, he roughly knew who they were and their names.

Although Liu Jingxuan's name wasn't near the top of his head, he still remembered it, given his good memory.

Although they were strangers, Ye Chen still greeted them politely, "Director Liu, hello, what instructions do you have?"

"You received the task documents, right? The organization assigned this task to your department; you can't let them down!"

Liu Jingxuan's voice was calm, without much emotional fluctuation, as if he were stating a fact.

Ye Chen nodded: "Received. Since the task has been entrusted to us, we will naturally complete it diligently."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Liu Jingxuan's tone softened slightly: "Yes, do you have any questions?"

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Chen finally voiced his question.

Since he's said that, he should be more honest, ask whatever comes to mind, and communicate frankly.

Liu Jingxuan was not surprised at all by Ye Chen's question; on the contrary, she felt that Ye Chen should ask such a question.

Liu Jingxuan slowly began, "Actually, sending your department wasn't entirely the organization's idea. It was also one of the requirements they made, and one of those requirements was that you must be present in person!"

Ye Chen instantly understood; it was one of the other party's conditions, so it made sense.

It's obviously a calculated scheme.

Feeling that the Orochi Clan hadn't managed to eliminate him last time, they took this opportunity to openly attack him.

Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone, and their petty tricks naturally cannot be hidden from others, so this is an open conspiracy.

If the organization doesn't send Ye Chen, it will be at a disadvantage, losing in terms of momentum and making people think they are afraid of them.

However, sending Ye Chen would be risking the loss of a top-tier genius, a talent that no organization could afford to lose.

The superiors' choice was self-evident; otherwise, he wouldn't have received the task today.

Since the organization dared to agree to these conditions, it seems they must have a backup plan.

The higher-ups are absolutely aware of the importance of a top-tier genius.

Sure enough, Liu Jingxuan continued, "But don't worry, Senior Zhao, the person in charge of Yao Guang, will secretly follow and support you. He's a Foundation Establishment expert, so ensuring your safety shouldn't be a problem!"

Having a Foundation Establishment expert on guard ensures a high level of safety!

A normal person would be reassured upon hearing this, feeling that the matter was under control and that there was nothing to fear with a Foundation Establishment expert protecting them.

However, Ye Chen thought further ahead and felt that this matter was not so simple.

Since the Orochi Group knew his importance, they must have guessed that someone would be secretly following and protecting him.

Conversely, if the other party wants to attack him, they will definitely be fully prepared.

The danger that awaits him is only greater than he imagined.

Ye Chen did not believe that the Orochi Group had no Foundation Establishment experts.

They could guess that Ye Chen would have someone secretly protecting him, and the other party should have some idea of ​​the strength of the person protecting him.

Knowing Ye Chen's lineup, it's not impossible to devise some countermeasures.

Therefore, the danger of this mission is beyond doubt.

Ye Chen explained his thoughts, and Liu Jingxuan was slightly taken aback, probably because she didn't expect Ye Chen to think that way.

"Do you mean you don't want to carry out this mission?" Liu Jingxuan asked thoughtfully.

Ye Chen shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I meant that this mission is far more dangerous than we imagined. Could we upgrade the mission level?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Liu Jingxuan's voice came through: "Yes, that's fine. A colleague will re-evaluate the task's level afterward!"

The task level affects the task rewards.

The mission's level is A, but Ye Chen feels that the difficulty level might be S, or even SS.

The rewards for A-level missions and S-level missions are quite different.

Ye Chen wasn't the type to take things too seriously, but he did have people working under him now.

He naturally wouldn't hold back when it came to advocating for the benefits his subordinates should receive.
