Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The Ministry of Security won, and won without any suspense.

“This Zheng Han is too strange,” Anna said in a deep voice. “He doesn’t seem very strong or fast, but he always manages to control Gerber perfectly. In the whole fight, except for the last time when Gerber was injured and punched, he played Gerber like a monkey the whole time.”

It turned out to be the case.

Anran nodded.

"His name has changed to Gerber?" Anran tilted her head.

How come you guys are so skilled?

“Didn’t he shout that himself?” Anna shrugged.

Fei Lian immediately chimed in, "A real man keeps his promises."

Wow, you two won.

Chu Yuan smiled as he looked at Fei Lian and Anna.

Meanwhile, Daogu was pulling at her hair, silently drinking water.

The words "showing off your love" and "shameless" drifted to An Ran's ears, who was sitting right next to him.

The noise in the hotel never stopped.

More and more people came in one after another.

But the focus of attention remained on Zheng Han, who was sitting at the other end.

After his outburst, no one dared to provoke the security department anymore.

Originally, the people of Jiuge looked down on the Security Department, but now they treat them as equals.

Therefore, status is not something that can be earned through insults.

It was built with their own two hands.

Zheng Han, the young man with "kidney deficiency" who kept joking with the female team members, is probably also a very smart person.

After that, An Ran's attention shifted to "Crescent Moon".

He is said to be the strongest member of the third squad.

They rushed over from outside, looking travel-worn.

Judging by his appearance alone, he is just an ordinary short-haired man.

“Geber helped Yueya’s mother pay for Le’s surgery, and Yueya has been helping him ever since,” Feilian revealed the secret.

Although there are people with terrible personalities like Gerber and Yakin.

But there are also quite a few people in Jiuge who are truly capable of great things.

At least, Tao Tao, the uniquely-looking captain of the second squad, is a very different person.

By noon, everyone had finally arrived.

Jiuge sent five teams, while the Security Department sent two.

At the same time, there were also two representatives from Jiuge and the Security Department.

The operational meeting then commenced.

“No one has been to this area for a long time.”

He pointed his finger at the map.

This is the representative of the Nine Songs, or simply the Nine Representative.

"The current map was drawn more than ten years ago during the survey, so it's hard to say how much has changed since then." This time, it was Representative An who spoke.

"The task was given only a two-day deadline."

Before coming, Jiu had carefully studied the map: "To the east is an abandoned town, to the south is a jungle, to the north is an old riverbed, and to the west is a fractured canyon. The terrain is quite complex."

"I suspect that Morningstar's base is built in the canyon, but to be absolutely sure, we've split into four groups to scout the terrain. Each team will maintain contact and assemble immediately once we gather any information."

Tao Tao said in a deep voice, "That's true, but how should these four groups be allocated?"

We've reached the key point.

Everyone held their breath.

The allocation of direction is crucial.

That's a crucial step in determining whether you can earn merit!

None of the teams that come here want to take all the credit.

If we can obtain crucial information, the credit will be unimaginable.

If you fail, all you'll end up with is a hard-earned reward.

The people from Jiuge were eager to try, and so were the people from the Security Department.

Although they came from the security department, they were not commanded by the same person as the troops fighting on the front lines.

Who wouldn't want military merit?

"To ensure the mission is completed smoothly," said Representative Jiu, "Minister Lü and the Ministry of Security have set a rule that anyone who dares to sabotage their own people in this operation and causes the mission to fail will not be shown any leniency."

His voice was cold.

Representative An also confirmed this statement: "It's the same on our side of the security department. Normally, we can turn a blind eye to people's disagreements and secret rivalries, but in this operation, anyone who dares to cause trouble can expect a summons from a military court."

Let me make it clear from the start.

Then, Jiu, with a smile on his face, said: "Okay, let's discuss how to distribute it."

Chapter 04 Gathering Intelligence

"The abandoned town to the east, this is clearly not a good job."

Anna couldn't help but complain in the car.

"There's nothing we can do. After all, it was a decision made by the other teams together," Fei Lian said in a deep voice. Because of their insufficient strength, they had no say. Ultimately, it all came down to this issue.

Of the four directions, the east side faces Twin Moon City directly, so its danger level is definitely higher than other places. Morning Star cannot possibly be undefended.

Since the mission is to gather information, it's crucial to conceal one's identity as much as possible and avoid being exposed.

"The other team has set off, let's go too."

Feilian sighed and glanced at the sandstorm outside the window.

Regardless, I still have to do my best to complete the tasks I've been given.

They were accompanied by a team from the Security Department, not the one led by Zheng Han. They didn't arrive until just before the operational meeting was about to begin.

The two parties were complete strangers.

We drove towards the abandoned town.

Feilian didn't drive fast this time, trying to minimize the dust kicked up by the off-road vehicle as it moved forward.

An Ran closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

In reality, she was taking stock of the faction-affiliated quests she had just received.

This series of tasks is listed under the click details of the previously released faction task "Confrontation!"

[Scout]: Scout out information about the Morning Star Far East Branch, reward 3000 free experience points.

[Infiltration]: Successfully infiltrated the Morning Star Far East Branch stronghold. Reward: 10000 Free Experience Points and a targeted random treasure chest [Green].

[Steal]: Successfully stole information from the Morning Star Far East Branch regarding the Canyon Continent Branch. Reward: 20000 Free Experience Points and a random blue treasure chest.

[Hunting]: I. Hunt down 10 Morning Star Warriors and receive a reward of 5000 Free Experience Points.

II. Hunt down 50 Morning Star Warriors to receive 25000 Free Experience Points and a Powerful Recovery Set [Blue].

III. Hunt down 100 Morning Star Warriors and receive a reward of 50000 Free Experience Points and an Elite coefficient bonus.

[Duel]: I. Kill Zhong Liang, with a floating reward of 1000-10000 experience points.

II. Kill Röntgen, with a floating reward of 2000-20000 Free Experience Points and a Blue Jetpack.

III. Killing Heloise will reward you with 15000-150000 free experience points, and a chance to obtain a Purple Gene Enhancement Potion.

The rewards were so generous that An Ran was practically drooling.

However, the difficulty of some tasks made An Ran hesitate.

For example, if you kill 100 people and the scene is chaotic, you'd be lucky if you didn't get killed by stray bullets.

For example, killing Heloise can reward you with up to 15 experience points, and there's also a chance to get a purple-quality gene enhancement potion. The most outrageous thing is that there's even a waiting list.

Emmm...

But Sandy is considered an elite monster, so Heloise should be a mini-boss, right?

We simply can't beat them.

An Ran: "I'll just take a look; I don't dare to go."

The player panel is indeed impressive. While other NPCs are struggling with whether Morningstar's stronghold is here, how strong the enemy is, and whether there is any information about the Canyon Continent, Anran has already figured it out quite well through the quest.

But she couldn't say it out loud, because if she did, she wouldn't be able to explain where she got the information from.

……

"From here on, we have to walk through this area."

Feilian parked the car in a relatively secluded spot.

According to the map, it's about three or four kilometers from here to the abandoned town, but that's not a long distance for them.

Driving there would make us too conspicuous.

Anran carried a backpack, with a microphone clipped to her collar and a radio tucked into her waistband.

Everyone on this mission is equipped with a radio so they can communicate at any time.

“We can’t walk together, otherwise we’ll be too conspicuous,” Fei Lian said.

“That’s right.” Chu Yuan nodded in deep agreement.
