"Commander, Baggins has arrived." In the lonely mountain, Dura rose from the ground with Baggins.
"You go first! Tell everyone to prepare to leave."
After Dura left, Wang Han looked at Baggins and said with a smile, "Baggins, although we haven't known each other for long, in my impression you are a very clever person, a smart person who knows how to disguise himself, and a person who values life but is not lacking in courage."
"Thank you for the compliment, Commander! I am just an ordinary hobbit," Baggins said modestly, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
“Yes, Shire hobbits, you are weak, yet you possess admirable qualities and virtues,” Wang Han said with a smile. “So, ordinary hobbits, I have a task for you to complete, a task only you can accomplish. Don’t worry, it’s not difficult; in fact, it’s very easy for you. It won’t take much time or pose any danger, which is why I chose you. As for the reward, it’s the lives of all the hobbits in Shire. Whether the hobbits of Shire live or die is now decided by your single word.”
Upon hearing this, Baggins swallowed hard. He knew Wang Han's visit was no good, especially the mention of Charles—it was clearly a threat, a blatant one. Unfortunately, he had no choice. "I am very willing to serve the Commander."
"Here's a friendly reminder: Lonely Mountain is a strategic location, a very important one," Wang Han said with a smile.

In the abandoned city at the foot of Lonely Mountain.
"Mission complete!"
Upon hearing the mission completion notification from the Celestial System and seeing the treasure filling twenty large trucks and five buses, everyone smiled. It was a super bumper harvest, and this haul would definitely boost their strength dramatically.
Why were the other dwarves and Baggins not allowed to enter Lonely Mountain before, and why is Baggins being brought here now? Because the system's mission requires escorting Baggins and his dwarf friends to Lonely Mountain, and the completion criterion is for Baggins and his dwarf friends to enter Lonely Mountain. However, the remaining time after completing the mission is only ten minutes. This is also why Thorin wasn't killed.
"Let's go back!" Wang Han said with a smile, looking at everyone's satisfied smiles, and opened the system's return channel.

"My goodness, this is such a haul!"
"How many points would that take? Millions, or tens of millions?"
"Another powerful squad has been born."
"Hey guys, is your team still recruiting? Looking for strong, capable men with town-level strength."
"Pretty girls are pleasing to the eye, please take me in, big shots."
In the mission plaza of the system space, the Exploding Sky Gang team had just returned through the spatial portal, causing a stir among the crowds. Many even volunteered to join the team. Leaving aside the twenty truckloads of gems, the sheer amount filling five buses was enough to make many envious. If robbing in the system space weren't tantamount to suicide, the surrounding crowd would likely have already swarmed around and started looting.
"System, exchange all gems and gold coins." Ignoring the surrounding commotion, Wang Han communicated with the system and exchanged all the gems and gold coins. The team's account immediately gained 40 million points.
"System, redeem 200 trucks, 2,000 Type 95 automatic rifles, 10,000 magazines, 2 million rounds of rifle ammunition, 100 Maxim machine guns, 1 million rounds of machine gun ammunition, 500 60mm mortars, 5,000 mortar shells, 50 rocket launchers, 500 rockets, and 10,000 hand grenades." With the points credited, Wang Han didn't immediately distribute them to everyone but quickly began redeeming them. In the blink of an eye, he had redeemed items worth over five million points.
In the mission plaza, a large number of firearms and supplies appeared out of thin air, piling up like mountains.
"System, transfer points. Transfer 50,000 points to each member of the Exploding Sky Gang." Wang Han operated the system again, and more than 10 million points disappeared once more.
Upon receiving the system notification of the points transfer, the members of the Exploding Sky Gang beamed even brighter. Fifty thousand points were enough to elevate each of them to the town-level strength. Indeed, following their new captain was the best decision they had ever made; their very first mission under his leadership had yielded such a significant reward.
"Raton, start recruiting immediately, recruit two thousand men," Wang Han instructed Raton with a smile. "Once you've recruited enough, distribute the weapons. Everyone wait here, ready for the next mission. This mission is very urgent, and it's a war mission."
After saying that, Wang Han flew out of the mission square at high speed.
After Wang Han left, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the mission square became lively. People who wanted to join the Exploding Sky Gang team came in droves, crowding around.

Meanwhile, in the world of Hobbits.
After Wang Han and his mercenary group left, the dwarves and Baggins, who had been waiting, eagerly entered Lonely Mountain. Thus, Wang Han and his group completed their mission.
In the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, Thorin sat in a daze on a sea of gold coins piled up in the cave, feeling as if everything that had happened was a dream.
Was the human who could kill the dragon truly just a human? It wasn't because of his weapon, nor his ability to fly and leave him powerless, but rather his spirit of remaining unmoved by the ferocity of the terrifying dragon and regarding everything as mere ants.
It's like a towering giant, while I'm just an ant, a giant trying to outsmart an ant. No matter how much I scheme, that giant can end everything with a flick of his finger; my attempts to scheme against them are as ridiculous as a clown's performance.
