He Weichen and Du Qiu were no exception.
"...The bounty for 'The Tears of a Captive Girl' has been completed!"
As soon as I entered the lobby, I heard someone shouting.
Everyone immediately became interested.
After all, "The Tears of the Imprisoned Woman" is the only nighttime bounty that has appeared in the past two months. Previously, the bounty was accepted by the mysterious knife-farming team. Now that there is finally a result, it will naturally arouse everyone's curiosity.
"The boost that nighttime bounties provide to a team's ranking shouldn't be underestimated; just look at the team leaderboard to see who's taken them on!"
Someone else shouted, reminding everyone.
In an instant, everyone's attention shifted to the leaderboard of the slash-and-burn farming teams on the left.
It was precisely at this moment that the list was refreshed.
"Wait a minute, something's not right. None of the top ten teams have changed, and there aren't any new Night markers in the completed missions list!"
"Hiss, look over there, look at that newly appeared team ranked twelfth!"
Everyone's gaze shifted downwards, and they quickly found the slash-and-burn team that had just appeared on the leaderboard.
"The old days?"
"What kind of weird name is this..."
"It really is a newly formed slash-and-burn team. Look at its completed mission markers, there's only a lonely black star."
Just then, someone shouted, "Holy crap... how is this possible!"
"Why are you making such a fuss? Although this team is very strong and has the ability to complete the Night Bounty, they are still a bit weaker than the established powerhouses, right?" someone said inexplicably.
“Yeah, the Rock Squad has already completed three Night Bounties.” Someone chimed in.
"No, that's not it..." The martial artist who exclaimed pointed at the electronic screen and shouted excitedly, "Can't you see the important point? Look at the number of people in this squad!"
"Number of people?"
Everyone was puzzled, but when their gazes shifted and they saw the number of people in the team's information, they all fell silent for a moment.
An eerie silence fell over the hall.
"Two...two people?"
Someone stammered out the number.
Soon, everyone came to their senses, and exclamations and heated discussions rose and fell.
"How could there be a two-person slash-and-burn farming team?"
"Yes, that's against the rules!"
"Gentlemen, this isn't about rules or regulations, is it? The problem is... tell me... how the hell did just two people complete a nighttime bounty?"
"Could there be mountains and seas within?"
"Why would Shan Hai register a 'Slash-and-Grow Team'? Their rights to the benefits of walking in forbidden zones are different from ours. Shan Hai, the one in the Rock Team, broke through later."
Amidst the noisy discussion, He Weichen and Du Qiu exchanged a glance and both saw the bitter smile in each other's eyes.
He Weichen sighed and showed Du Qiu his bracelet, which had a message from the Martial Arts Association sent just three minutes earlier, indicating that Yuan You had withdrawn from the Dark Star Squad.
Their guess was confirmed.
Moreover, they also knew that the truth behind this was far more outrageous than what everyone was saying.
Because this newly formed Old Days Squad doesn't consist of just two people; Shen Qian guessed that Yuan You was brought into the squad to make it easier to report battle results.
So this former squad that suddenly became a rising star in Jingcheng was actually...
There was only one person.
