"Five highly skilled martial artists...that's impressive!"
Chen Peng was somewhat excited.
Clearly, the stronger the team, the more they are likely to gain from this trip.
"We can't just look at the surface. The fact that the Dark Star Squad's elite forces have all been mobilized suggests that this mission will be very difficult."
Shen Qian shook his head.
The group was taken aback, but upon closer inspection, they realized there was some truth to it.
"Let's do as usual, have a short meeting, and then set off."
He Weichen asked the waiter to tidy up the table, and then spread a map out on the table.
Shen Qian was immediately drawn to the map.
Because this map is actually dynamic.
Jingcheng is marked with only a simple city symbol, but the area surrounding Jingcheng is quite interesting.
For example, it's pouring rain in the south of the city right now, and there's actually a swirling dark cloud on the map; if you get closer, you can even faintly hear lightning and thunder.
In the north of the city, besides the swaying forest, there were also the flickering shadows of some demonic beasts.
"The shadow indicates that the area is inhabited by that type of monster. The more solid the shadow, the higher the probability of its appearance."
Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Yuan You took the initiative to explain with a smile.
"Is this map updated in real time?" Shen Qian asked.
"That's right, this is a real-time dynamic map officially issued by the Martial Arts Association. It's connected globally. Don't underestimate this map; the manpower and resources behind it are unimaginable. This is one of the reasons why it's necessary to register a knife-farming team."
Yuan You laughed and said, "Only the slash-and-burn team is qualified to apply for this kind of map, but it's very expensive. The monthly usage fee is 100,000, and there's also a deposit of over a million!"
Yuan You's eloquent explanation of science made some members of the Dark Star Squad show impatience, but they held back when they saw that He Weichen didn't say anything.
After He Weichen and Yuan You finished explaining, they took over the conversation.
"This time we have accepted eleven bounty missions in total, and my goal is to complete more than eight of them."
He Weichen's words made everyone both excited and solemn. It was clear that it was very rare for the team to accept so many bounty missions at once.
"This situation is also quite special, not only because there are newcomers, but also because... there are two twilight bounties among them!"
He Weichen's gaze swept over everyone. "Although the suggestion is that only teams with high-level martial artists should attempt the Twilight Mission, we are all aware of its difficulty. Moreover, there is always the possibility of incorrect information, so..."
He Weichen's gaze sharpened, focusing on Shen Qian and the others.
"I expect everyone to obey orders absolutely. I don't need you to have any of your own ideas. At the same time, be on your guard. I don't want to come back missing anyone!"
Did you hear me clearly?
"clear!"
Everyone answered with a serious expression.
"As for the spoils, the old rule still applies: Yuan You will be responsible for recording all expenses and income, and she will distribute the spoils according to the degree of contribution. No objections, right?"
Everyone shook their heads.
This is one of the duties of a scholar. She also records battle results and observations in detail. Only her records will be recognized by the Martial Arts Association. This is the importance of the existence of scholars.
Afterwards, He Weichen briefly marked the route on the map, which mainly focused on the eastern part of the city.
Before sinking, I took a closer look and found that some areas on the map were still shrouded in fog, which must be some special areas that could not be observed.
Overall, however, this map is still quite convenient.
In critical moments, all slash-and-burn teams can post their distress requests on the map in real time, increasing the chances of receiving assistance if there are nearby slash-and-burn teams.
"Since everything is fine, let's have breakfast. We'll set off in half an hour. This trip is expected to take about three days, so everyone needs to tell their families in advance. Let's do it now."
After He Weichen finished speaking, he waved his hand, ending the meeting.
"I suddenly remembered that I left something behind. I'll go back for a bit and come back in twenty minutes."
While everyone was engrossed in their meal, Shen Qian suddenly stood up and spoke.
"Hurry up," Du Qiu frowned.
He nodded and quickly left.
"How could someone so careless get top marks in two subjects?" someone muttered.
"Even eating can't shut you up?" Yuan You raised a narrow eyebrow.
The man didn't speak again, but the atmosphere at the table was still slightly strange.
Seeing this, Yuan You could only shake her head helplessly, and didn't know what else to say.
Everyone is bound to be curious about Shen Qian, the national martial arts champion, but aside from curiosity, it's hard to say what the rest of the impressions will be.
Jealousy, resentment, indifference... all of these may arise.
This is normal, though. People's hearts are complex, and it's impossible to expect everyone to have a calm attitude towards the sinking.
He Weichen frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
A dozen minutes later, Shen Qian returned. He Weichen saw that everyone had almost finished eating, so he asked Yuan You to pay the bill.
All the food, drinks, and toilet facilities during this trip will be managed uniformly by the kindergarten, and will be deducted from the final cost. This is also the team's rule, and since Chen knew this beforehand, he didn't rush to pay.
Fifteen people spent nearly two thousand yuan on breakfast.
This gives a glimpse into how much money martial artists can spend.
"Make a final check to ensure that all medicines, weapons, food, and water have been brought!"
Upon arriving outside, Shen Qian was surprised to find that in addition to a modified armored transport vehicle, there were three middle-aged strong men helping to carry supplies.
