Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

That evening, Yin Tianbao hosted a banquet for the Blood Squad. Everyone was drunk and staggering, except for Lin Anlan, who remained relatively sober. At that moment, she was furious with these people who lacked self-control. They had clearly agreed not to drink that night and to leave immediately after the banquet to avoid any unforeseen complications. Yet, these guys still couldn't control themselves and ended up like this. Looking at the scene before her, Lin Anlan couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Yin Tianbao was also quite drunk, and he shouted loudly, "Guards! Guards! Where are the maids!"

A maidservant hurried over: "Sir, what are your orders?"

"Go, go to the wine cellar, go get my treasured fruit wine, in a red...red bottle." Yin Tianbao ordered, his tongue thick, then turned to Lin Anlan and the Blood Squad members and said, "Wait...wait a minute, then taste...taste my collection of fine wines."

"Hahahaha, good! You've got quite the capacity for alcohol, old dog!" Zhang Wenbo, completely carried away by his drinking, mimicked Lin Anlan's way of addressing Yin Tianbao, calling him "old dog" repeatedly. A short while later, a maid arrived with two red-bottled bottles of fruit wine. Upon receiving the order to open them, the maid uncapped the bottles and, at Yin Tianbao's instruction, poured a glass for everyone. Yin Tianbao picked up his glass, staggered to his feet, and exclaimed, "Good! Brothers, this...this is wine I've been collecting...collecting for almost ten years, brought from the mainland. Today, let's drink to our hearts' content!" He then reached for Lin Anlan's glass, intending for her to drink with him. Lin Anlan declined, saying, "I won't drink; I need to take care of everyone."

"Hey, in my City Lord's Mansion, do we... do we really need Captain Lin to take care of us? Someone!" Yin Tianbao shouted again, and several maids came in from outside to wait for his orders. Yin Tianbao continued, "You, you call some more people to take good care of our guests." After saying that, he turned to Lin Anlan and said, "How about it, Captain Lin? I... I've already arranged for people to take care of them. It wouldn't be right for you not to have a drink with us."

Helpless, Lin Anlan had no choice but to stand up and drink the fruit wine in her glass with everyone, which drew cheers from the team members. The banquet lasted until late at night before it ended.

The next morning, Lin Anlan rubbed his head and struggled to sit up in bed. After a while, he tidied himself up and went to each team member's room to wake them up. Soon, the Blood Squad members gathered in Lin Anlan's room, rubbing their sleepy eyes. Looking at the group in front of him, Lin Anlan suppressed his anger: "I won't mention yesterday's events anymore. Now, get ready and set off immediately!"

Sensing their captain's anger, the team members sobered up considerably. They quickly packed their belongings and quietly left the city lord's mansion, heading towards the outer city. Yin Tianbao stood on the rooftop, watching the Blood Squad gradually disappear into the distance, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.

After leaving the city gate, the Blood Squad took out a stack of papers containing information about the Branding Rock Beast compiled by Yin Tianbao. After studying them for a while, they hurried towards Wanji Mountain.

That morning, Su Yang finished his farm work and was sitting in the pavilion enjoying the early autumn morning light. The fishpond next to the pavilion had become much clearer after a few days of immersion. Looking at the empty fishpond, Su Yang thought he should get some fish to raise, so he called out, "Butterfly, Butterfly, are you there?"

Butterfly transformed and appeared: "What's wrong?"

“I want to get some fish to raise. You know more about this world. Where do you think is a good place to catch fish around here on the island? The lake I went to before was basically unusable.”

"Hmm... why don't you just go to the market and buy some fish fry?" Die'er rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless.

"I've thought about it, but I don't have much experience raising fish. I can ask Xiaoju to help me with the vegetables I planted before, but I still want to raise the fish myself. I'm afraid they'll die, so I thought I'd catch a few to practice with first," Su Yang explained.

“Alright, let me think.” Die’er fell into thought, and after a long while she continued, “I remember, there is a big mountain on this island called Wanji Mountain. There is a canyon in the mountain, and a stream in the canyon. It is not very deep. Because it is rarely visited by people, there are many fish in the stream. However, the journey is quite dangerous, with many ferocious beasts. If you want to go, you should be prepared and bring plenty of food.”

"Oh, that's fine. I'll bring some dried meat with me. The meat I've been hunting these past few days has been dried, so it should be fine." Su Yang was naturally happy to go when he heard about this place. If it were for wealth or increased abilities, Su Yang might not be willing to go, but this was for his farm life, and it was a secluded place, so Su Yang was naturally willing.

After packing up the dried meat and other food, Su Yang woke up Xiao Ju, who was still asleep, put it in his backpack, locked the gate, and set off, heading towards Wanji Mountain according to Die'er's instructions.

On the third underground level of Bailu City, the remaining members of the Human Extinction Branch who had arrived on the island a few days ago were all in place. Today was the Human Extinction Branch Conference. A black-robed old man stood in front of everyone. He was the Human Extinction Chief—Jin Huage. Standing beside him were three other black-robed men: Zhou Tianwu, the Chief of the Martial Arts Department; Wang Ming, the Chief of the Political Affairs Department; and Jim, the Chief of the Technical Affairs Department.

When they saw Jin Huage standing on the stage, the people below whispered among themselves.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Chief of Staff Kim. What has he been up to all this time?” a staff member from the technical department asked the person next to him.

"I heard the Chief of Staff went back to headquarters for a meeting and then went on a training trip with the Chief of Staff. It's normal that you didn't see him," his companion replied.

"Can the commander really rival a 6th-tier elementalist? With our equipment alone?" a newcomer asked curiously.

"Of course, the Chief of Staff was personally promoted by the Chief of the General Staff from the position of Director of the Military Affairs Department after practical training. His strength is self-evident." Another old man answered the newcomer's question.

Jin Huagge coughed twice, and Zhou Tianwu, the director of the Martial Affairs Department beside him, immediately said in a deep voice, "Silence!" After everyone quieted down, Jin Huagge said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Now, except for some personnel from the Political Affairs Department, all members of the Human Resources Department are present, and the directors of the Martial, Political, and Technical Departments are all in place. Next, I will assign tasks to each department." Jin Huagge paused and began to issue orders:

"Military Commander, listen to my command. Within today, the Military Command will select members from the seven squads to form three action squads. The first squad will consist of Deputy Director Zheng and the seven squad leaders, responsible for the specific operations. The second squad will consist of Deputy Director Locke and the seven deputy squad leaders, responsible for operational support. The third squad will be formed by drawing members from the existing squads, with two members selected from each squad. Director Zhou will organize a practical assessment and selection process to select these members, responsible for operational support. The remaining Military Commander personnel will continue to be responsible for base security and the security of personnel from the other two commands, according to their original organization."

“Military Commander received.” Zhou Tianwu’s deep voice rang out again.

"The Political Department hereby orders its members responsible for the Kingdom of Delin and the Duchy of Paisen to disrupt the situation in both countries and block news from the island. At the same time, it orders its members responsible for the other countries to delay the election of the city lord of Bailu City on the island and incite internal strife among the Bailu City garrison."

"Received by the Department of Administration." Director Wang Ming's voice was slightly low.

"Technical Department, listen to my order: complete the storage and transportation equipment within two weeks, and complete the equipment adjustment and maintenance of the action team within three days."

"Received," Jim, the director of the Technology Department, replied rather succinctly.

"Alright, the tasks have been assigned. All departments, act swiftly. The first action team will depart in three days." With that, Jin Huage left the meeting room, followed by the remaining personnel. Only the three department heads remained. Department Head Wu spoke first:

"Gentlemen, I'll leave the logistics and support work to you." Zhou Tianwu said with some pride. After all, among the Insulators, martial prowess is absolute power, as evidenced by the fact that the Chief of the Human Insulators was promoted by the Director of the Martial Arts Department.

"I think you should just focus on your own job. Otherwise, you might cause trouble and the chief of staff will have to clean up your mess," Wang Ming replied, slightly displeased.

"I'm going to arrange my work, I'm leaving now." Jim remained largely silent and walked away. Seeing Jim leave, Wang Ming followed. Zhou Tianwu watched their departing figures, muttering viciously:

"The Chief of Staff doesn't have much time left. This island will be your final resting place!"
