Chapter 267 Mission Completed
"I see." After the military squad leader's explanation, everyone realized that this disaster was entirely the conspiracy of the level 3 mutant rhinoceros.
"Is this rhino inherently smart, or did it become so smart after being upgraded to the peak level three?" Ma Qianqian asked curiously. In class, the teacher once mentioned that most of the animals in the Federation evolved from their mother planet, the Blue Planet.
Except for a few animals, most animals live according to their instincts.
"Superpowers," Lan Ximeng said as she collected her own weapons. "Ordinary rhinos only have a certain learning and adaptability ability. Their IQ is equivalent to that of a one-year-old child, which is almost negligible. What allows them to learn to think is their superpowers. As their superpowers upgrade, their brain area expands, thus gaining higher wisdom."
"I see." Ma Xixi nodded and started to clean up the battlefield beside her.
"What a pity! The energy blocks we brought are basically used up." Ding Xiahe felt a pang in her heart as she looked at the energy block powder on the ground.
Although these energy blocks are all elementary, they are still a considerable expense for students like them.
“I don’t know what we will be reimbursed for.” Ma Xixi hoped it would be points, so she wouldn’t have to worry about failing.
While the others were communicating, Lan Ximeng came to the energy transmitter and opened the slot box. A translucent crystal core appeared before his eyes. This is the secondary ice energy core that was placed in earlier. The originally crystal clear ice-blue color has turned transparent due to the exhaustion of energy, and now the remaining energy inside can’t be sold for much money.
"Who wants this thing?" Lan Ximeng asked while holding the energy core.
"Me!" Ma Qianqian raised her hand and took the transparent crystal core handed to her by Lan Ximeng. The owner of this thing almost killed her, so she had to keep it as a commemoration.
After everyone’s cleaning, all the abandoned weapons and garbage on the defense wall were cleared away. If you don't look down at the wall, you wouldn't know that a battle had taken place here.
Time passed quietly, and a faint white light gradually appeared in the sky. The rising morning light sprinkled on the ground, reflecting on the ice formed by blood, refracting a gorgeous rainbow.
"It's dawn." Chu Dongyi looked up at the white spot in the sky, feeling filled with emotion.
"Why is it dawning so soon?" Niu Lai murmured to himself. He could clearly feel that as the day dawned, the air around him began to gradually warm up. Wisps of white vapor began to float on the ground in the distance.
"What should we do with the ice on the ground? When the day breaks, the ice will melt, and the blood will surely stink under the sun!" Li Fan frowned, "And I wonder if this strong smell of blood will attract powerful mutant animals nearby."
"We don't need to worry about these," Niu Lai pointed to one side and said, "Look over there."
Li Fan looked in the direction he was looking in. He saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance and cars speeding towards him.
"Is this the army?" Li Fan saw the unique symbol on it. "Are they here to clean up the battlefield?"
"Yes, with such a large-scale rhino attack, the higher-ups will definitely send people over to deal with it."
"This." Lu Renjia, who had been silent, spoke tremblingly. When everyone else looked over at him, he mustered up the courage to say, "There are several level 2 rhinos in that group. There must be a lot of energy cores in them. How do we calculate this?"
At first he thought that since they didn't do much, it would be good if they could get 30% of the profits. But now the army is here, he is not sure whether the profits will still be theirs.
"This..." Niu Lai also wanted to know how to calculate it.
"It will be counted towards your points." This sentence came from somewhere. When they reacted, they only saw a figure in green military uniform leaving.
"Ah, I'm so sleepy, let's go back and rest!" Lan Ximeng clapped her lips, yawned and walked up the stairs.
Ma Xixi also rubbed her eyes and said, "Yes, I'm sleepy too." Then she followed Lan Ximeng.
"Everyone go back and rest. There's no need to send anyone to keep watch tonight." Niu Lai nodded and followed behind.
"Bye, see you tomorrow." Li Fan said hello to Lu Renjia and left.
Soon, Lu Renjia was the only one left there.
The next day, Niu Lai led everyone to build two houses, and their mission was finally completed.
"I received the news that the mission was completed. We can now go back to the base and start taking on other missions." Niu Lai told everyone the good news.
Hearing the good news, everyone cheered, "Great!"
"By the way," Niu Lai took out a space ring and poured out all the weapons and equipment inside, "These are the reimbursements we received."
"So fast, I thought I would have to wait a long time." Ding Xiahe picked up a primary energy block and praised the speed of the army.
"Everyone, take back what belongs to you." Niu Lai took what belonged to him and continued, "Our points for killing rhinos have also come down."
At this point, everyone's eyes lit up.
"How many!"
"1655!"
"That's a lot. Plus our mission, that's two thousand!" Ma Xixi jumped up happily. "Haha, I passed!"
"Great!" Ding Xiahe also clenched her fists excitedly.
"Does that mean we don't have to do any more missions from now on?" Li Fan said this with his eyes shining.
"That's what you say, but we're just doing nothing and waiting to go back to school?" Niu Lai thought it would be better to take on some small tasks.
The next day, Lan Ximeng and his group said goodbye to Lu Renjia and started their return journey riding the big dog.
"I envy them." Lu Renjia looked at the six people who left, his heart full of envy.
"Captain, come and help!"
"Okay!"
After returning to the base, Lan Ximeng and six other people came to the mission building to hand in the mission. Seeing the team’s points arrive, the six people were all very happy.
"Let's go get some quests."
In this way, the six people began to "kill time" happily.
The time came to December 28, 2028. Lan Ximeng and her teammates parted ways and boarded the return starship.
"Do you have any extra anti-sickness drugs?" As Lan Ximeng stepped into the starship, a classmate grabbed her arm and asked anxiously.
"No," she answered simply.
"Sorry to bother you." After receiving the reply, the male student immediately turned around and pulled a classmate who came in behind to ask the same question.
"Anti-sickness pills?" The student who was pulled was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"He has anti-sickness medicine!" Someone shouted, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around.
For a moment, the student who had the anti-sickness medicine in his hand was surrounded by the crowd and became the focus of the whole audience.
Lan Ximeng, who was originally standing in the front, was also pushed away by a group of crazy students. She looked up at the chaotic scene in front of her. The crowd rushed towards the "lucky man" like an out-of-control wave.
"Classmate, how much can you sell it for?" someone squeezed to the front and shouted anxiously.
"I'll give you a thousand, can you sell me ten?" One voice was louder than the other, and the crowd was filled with the noise of bidding.
"I'll give you two thousand!"
"I'll give you three thousand!"
Prices soared, and the noise of the crowd almost made the entire corridor of the starship buzz.
"What are you doing? Go back to your rooms!" A teacher saw the chaotic scene and immediately stepped forward to disperse the crowd. "If anyone behaves like this again, points will be deducted!"
All of a sudden, all the students scattered like birds and beasts.
Lan Ximeng's original intention to intervene was instantly reversed.
"Forget it, just fight it out."
