After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

"I've said so much..." Xie Jingbai regained his usual calm, "Yinyue, what's your answer?"

Leng Ran stood there silently for a long time. Just when Xie Jingbai thought the young man in front of him would turn around and leave, Leng Ran spoke.

"I'll take this commission."

Xie Jingbai was somewhat surprised: "You believe what I said?"

"It sounds crazy, but it's an interesting point of view." He chuckled lightly. "Besides, you can certainly offer me a reward that's tempting."

Xie Jingbai: "What kind of reward do you want?"

"The information you have about the hidden quests on the eight initial maps." Leng Ran took two steps closer. "Professor Bai, all your guesses aren't just baseless speculation, are they?"

"Why is it a door we're looking for, and why is it on Anwan Island?"

“You guessed right, I have solid evidence.” Xie Jingbai looked back coldly, “But I would rather give you the evidence in the form of a ‘reward’.”

Leng Ran understood immediately. So Professor Bai did indeed have a crucial clue to some hidden mission... and it was a reliable clue that had already been verified.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Leng Ran smiled brightly and extended his right hand: "Then, Professor Bai, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

Xie Jingbai also grasped Leng Ran's hand: "Yes, I'll contact you when we leave. Keep an eye out for news."

Mercenary Guild Hall, first floor.

"Your team has been formed. Team name: Changyu, Captain: Commander-Chen Shao." The receptionist smiled politely. "Your team's current star rating is zero stars. Complete ten more D-level missions to upgrade your star rating. Furthermore..."

The receptionist was explaining the precautions for forming a team, while Xie Heyan, as a team member, automatically ignored the receptionist's voice and began to look around. He inadvertently saw Zhao Yuheng sitting at the round table.

Hmm? Why does this person look so familiar...? Who is it again?

Xie Heyan nudged the mecha pilot Yan Liangping and the soldier Mingyang beside him: "Hey, Liangping, Ayang, look at that person by the table, doesn't he look familiar?"

Mingyang followed Xie Heyan's gaze and said, "Yes! We should have met him before."

Yan Liangping glanced at it and blurted out a familiar name: "It's Gongzi Yu."

Xie Heyan dared not speak, and secretly glanced at his captain. Seeing that he was still listening to the receptionist, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since they lost to Gongzi Yu's team in the Doomsday Ruins map competition, their young master Nangong Chen has always regarded Gongzi Yu as a formidable rival. He has secretly collected a lot of information about him and has repeatedly watched Gongzi Yu's famous battle - the miraculous comeback in Ancient Babylon - to study the tactics.

In the captain's words, if Gongzi Yu were a student from another military academy, they would inevitably clash during the military academy's performance sooner or later. And only by knowing oneself and one's enemy can one be victorious in every battle.

But in his view, what kind of opponent was the military academy performance... the captain was just unwilling to accept that he had been completely crushed by the opponent in terms of command and tactics in that map game.

Everyone wants to prove themselves, especially their proud captain.

Just then, Nangong Chen finally finished the formalities: "Let's go, let's do the mission."

Su Nanting patted Xie Heyan on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about, Xie Heyan? Let's go, keep up."

"Oh, Brother Su, I'm coming right now." Xie Heyan had a fawning smile on his face and stood subtly to Nangong Chen's right, blocking Nangong Chen's view.

The group of five walked along the carpeted path in the middle, and the sounds of other players chatting could be heard around them.

"Star Wars has been shut down for two years. I wonder how those former top players are doing now."

"Young Master Yu, my Young Master Yu! The title of genius commander is well-deserved!"

"And another thing, the fixed duo in the arena area, the aerial duo, Commander-Lingling and Soldier-Kongkong."

"Oh dear, there are so many if we were to take stock of them."

Amidst the clamor of discussion, a light, airy voice drifted into Xie Heyan's ears.

"Two years ago, wasn't Silver Moon the most popular player? To be honest, his 'Chasing Life' move was really cool."

Xie Heyan's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! If Young Master Chen's formidable rival is Gongzi Yu, then Brother Su's obsession is Silver Moon, who stabbed him in the face the moment they met and eliminated him from the game.

Unfortunately, the opponent always had the default mecha soldier face, making it really hard to find. Otherwise, Brother Su would probably have already picked up his gun and gone to challenge Silver Moon to a duel.

Xie Heyan glanced furtively at Su Nanting, but Su Nanting noticed him immediately: "What are you looking at me for?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just suddenly wanted to admire Brother Su's handsome profile." Xie Heyan waved his hands repeatedly.

Su Nanting snorted coldly: "I know what you're thinking. Silver Moon is nothing. I will defeat him fair and square sooner or later!"

Just then, Leng Ran stepped into the gates of the Mercenary Guild.

"It's really lively today..." Leng Ran dialed He Xiting's number as she walked, "Brother, I've arrived, where are you guys?"

"Go straight in, turn left, there's a round table, come quick, come quick."

The moment the two brushed past each other, Su Nanting stopped in her tracks.

The voice that had haunted his nightmares, along with the excruciating pain of being stabbed through the heart, resurfaced in his mind.

"...You can't escape, little bird."

Su Nanting clenched his fist, turned his head to look at the boy who had hung up the call, and saw that the other party had a default system face, which made him even more certain of Leng Ran's identity.

He glared menacingly at the cold, retreating figure: "Silver Moon, let's have a one-on-one fight!"

They continued walking forward indifferently.

Although she didn't know where this person came from or how she recognized her, as long as she didn't turn around, Yinyue wasn't her.

Xie Heyan advised, "Brother Su, he hasn't reacted at all, so it shouldn't be him. Let's hurry up and do the mission!"

Su Nanting ignored Xie Heyan's words and strode towards Leng Ran.

Silver Moon has become his inner demon, and today he will demand a fair duel to defeat him!

"Nanting, are you sure that's Yinyue?" Nangong Chen also stopped and turned around, his gaze following Leng Ran's cold back before finally settling on Zhao Yuheng.

Nangong Chen narrowed his eyes and walked towards Leng Ran and the other five. Ming Yang, who wanted to see a good show, decisively followed, leaving Yan Liangping with a helpless look and Xie Heyan sweating profusely.

"Let's go, let's go too."

Xie Heyan sighed as he watched them prepare to cause trouble.

It seems there's no peace and quiet today.
