He Weichen shook his head and smiled indifferently.
"An eighteen-year-old intermediate martial artist is indeed impressive... Unfortunately, the world is never short of geniuses, but many more perish halfway through their journey."
Du Qiu shrugged and said with some emotion, "These geniuses will never know their own insignificance unless they venture into the forbidden zone."
"Let's not talk about that. Yuan You just said you took two twilight bounties this time?"
He Weichen waved his hand, no longer mentioning Shen Qian, and instead asked a question.
"Oh right, I forgot about Yuan You bringing the newcomers when I went to get the mission, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to discuss this with you just now."
Du Qiu frowned and said, "It just so happens that both of these bounties are in the Jingdong region where we're going, so I..."
"It's alright."
He Weichen laughed and said, "I've thought about it too. Although we need to train new people, we should still be able to handle the two evening bounties. You may not know, but Yang Ni broke through to the high-level martial artist a few days ago."
"Then there's no problem!"
Upon hearing this, Du Qiu's face lit up with delight. "Once we finish off these two Twilight Bounties, we should be qualified to be among the top ten."
"Do your best."
He Weichen smiled slightly and was about to say something when a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
"What happened?"
Both of them were a little puzzled. Du Qiu walked out of the cubicle, but quickly returned, looking surprised. "I heard from passersby that someone accepted that bounty offered in the dark!"
"So fast?"
He Weichen was also taken aback.
Keep in mind that this bounty for the night has only been posted for less than an hour. Even a small team with considerable strength would definitely make a decision only after careful consideration.
"Let's go take a look. Could it be that a powerful expert from the Rock Squad has made a move?"
He Weichen and Du Qiu walked out of the cubicle and soon arrived in the hall.
Many people heard the commotion and rushed over, gathering here to discuss it.
He Weichen looked up at the electronic screen displaying the bounty missions, and sure enough, the black figure had disappeared.
Once a bounty is accepted, it will be locked for a certain period of time. This is to prevent malicious competition. The bounty will only be refreshed after the team that accepted the task fails or automatically abandons it when the deadline expires.
Du Qiu saw Yuan You, Ouyang Fei, and the others, greeted them, and walked over with He Weichen.
"Yuan You, do you know which team picked her up?" Du Qiu knew that Yuan You had some special connections and was well-informed, so he asked directly.
"Is it a rock, a nightfall, or a celestial phenomenon?" He Weichen guessed with a smile.
“I just asked around, and I asked the top three teams, but strangely, none of them admitted to taking the mission themselves.”
Yuan You seemed somewhat puzzled as well, and frowned and shook her head.
"Could there be other teams in Jingcheng with this capability? That's impossible, isn't it?" Du Qiu asked suspiciously. "Could it be that they're deliberately hiding it?"
"It's unlikely, because their people are indeed asking around, and besides, they've all completed nighttime bounties before, so there's nothing to hide about it."
Yuan You pondered for a moment, then said with certainty.
"Could they be a slash-and-burn farming team from out of town?" Du Qiu frowned.
The group fell silent; this situation was rather rare, but not impossible.
"Forget it, it's none of our business anyway."
He Weichen quickly stopped worrying and glanced at Ouyang Fei and the others. "Have you all completed the formalities? ...Hey, where's Shen Qian?"
"Oh, he went to the restroom," Ouyang Fei replied, somewhat embarrassed. "He probably had diarrhea, so he was gone for a while."
Just then, Shen Qian walked back from the outside through the crowd. He Weichen nodded when he saw this, and he and Du Qiu turned to find other familiar members of the slash-and-burn farming team to gather information.
Yuan You glanced casually at Chen Qian, who had been gone for half a day, and turned back to emphasize the precautions to everyone again, but suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something.
She then abruptly turned her head and stared at Shen Qian, who was walking towards her from a distance. Her delicate eyebrows arched, and her eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.
That's not right...
If she remembered correctly, the toilet wasn't in that direction.
