Chapter 206: Task Reward: 1 Point
Jiang Yuan took out her mobile phone and glanced at the time. Ten minutes had passed since Feng Feng dove into the river.
Director Qu clenched his fists and paced anxiously.
Wei Fangfei went to the car and got a few bottles of mineral water for everyone. She finally handed a bottle to Director Qu, “Old Qu, you keep pacing, aren’t you tired?”
“Xiao Wei.” Director Qu took the water and said in a low voice, “I’m worried Feng Feng won’t come back.”
“If he doesn’t come back, we’ll keep looking. Haven’t we found so many already?” Wei Fangfei finished, then raised an eyebrow, “But I think Feng Feng will definitely come back.”
Director Qu took a sip of water and asked doubtfully, “Why are you so sure?”
Wei Fangfei turned her head, her gaze falling on Jiang Yuan, a gentle smile appearing between her brows. “I have confidence in Jiang Yuan.”
Director Qu also turned his head to look, his furrowed brow relaxing slightly.
Indeed, she should have confidence in Jiang Yuan.
If it weren’t for her help today, they might not have found a single Yangtze alligator.
Director Qu sighed in relief, screwed the cap back onto the mineral water bottle, and waited patiently.
Time trickled by second by second, and the river surface remained undisturbed.
Through the prop map, Jiang Yuan saw that Feng Feng had already gathered with its partner for about ten minutes.
She pursed her lips, her eyebrows knitting together little by little.
Did something unexpected happen?
Another five minutes passed, and the river surface suddenly rippled, and soon a section of an alligator’s head appeared.
Jiang Yuan’s tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Assistant Liu exclaimed excitedly, “He’s back!”
Director Qu excitedly grasped Wei Fangfei’s hand.
However, only Feng Feng returned.
Everyone except Jiang Yuan craned their necks, waiting for the other Yangtze alligator to appear.
“Hah, I’m exhausted,” Feng Feng complained as it swam to the riverbank.
Jiang Yuan asked, “Yang Feng Feng, where’s your brother?”
“Two-legged beast, hurry up and save it!” Feng Feng said eagerly, “Dong Dong’s tail is caught, he can’t swim!”
Jiang Yuan’s brow immediately furrowed, and she got up at once, “Caught by what?”
Hearing this, the others nervously gathered around.
Feng Feng: “It seems to be a thin rope connected together.”
“Connected together…” Jiang Yuan murmured, thinking of something, “Is it a fishing net?”
Feng Feng: “I don’t understand either, it needs the weapon you just used to cut the rope that tied my mouth.”
“I know,” Jiang Yuan turned and explained the situation Dong Dong was in, “We need to save him.”
Wei Fangfei asked, “Did Feng Feng tell it about us bringing Dong Dong back to the zoo?”
Before Jiang Yuan could ask, Feng Feng replied, “I told him.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan looked at Wei Fangfei, “Feng Feng said so.”
“Alright then.” Wei Fangfei looked at Director Qu, “Have your zoo staff go into the water.”
Xiao Wang, a zoo staff member nearby, volunteered, “Director Qu, I’ll go.”
He was the most suitable candidate present. Director Qu raised his hand and patted Xiao Wang’s shoulder, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Xiao Wang.”
Jiang Yuan squatted in front of Feng Feng again, reaching out to pat its head, “Yang Feng Feng, lead Xiao Wang, he’s going to save Dong Dong.”
Feng Feng felt a little embarrassed by her patting, and awkwardly said, “Just talk, why are you patting my head? I’m not a fluffy thing.”
Jiang Yuan said with a smile, “You look so handsome, what’s wrong with a little pat?”
That compliment almost made Feng Feng float with pride. It stared blankly for a moment before huffing haughtily, “You have good taste.”
After saying that, it turned and dove back into the river.
Xiao Wang also slowly walked into the river.
About seven or eight minutes later, ripples spread across the calm river, and two Yangtze alligators surfaced simultaneously. Xiao Wang, completely soaked, also emerged.
Everyone’s hanging hearts instantly dropped.
Director Qu quickly took off his suit jacket and handed it to Xiao Wang, “Put it on quickly, be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Thank you, Director, don’t get your clothes dirty,” Xiao Wang quickly waved his hands.
“Put it on!” Director Qu didn’t give him a chance to refuse and directly draped the jacket over his shoulders, “You’ve worked hard.”
“How was it, am I amazing?” Feng Feng came to Jiang Yuan to claim credit.
Jiang Yuan said with a smile, “Amazing, Yang Feng Feng, you are truly excellent.”
“This two-legged beast…” Triumphantly, Feng Feng wanted to introduce Jiang Yuan to Dong Dong, only then remembering it didn’t know her name. “Two-legged beast, what’s your name?”
“Call me Yuan Yuan.”
“Dong Dong, let me tell you, this two-legged beast Yuan Yuan likes me,” Feng Feng said as it turned its head, starting to spread rumors.
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with it.
She suggested that the small animal transport vehicle return to the zoo first, and Xiao Wang, who was soaked, could also go back to change clothes.
The remaining two Yangtze alligators could squeeze in the back of the business van.
All eleven Yangtze alligators were found by midnight.
Jiang Yuan, Xiao Xu, and Wei Fangfei stayed at a five-star hotel closest to the zoo.
She took a hot bath and lay comfortably on the soft, large bed.
【System 009: Congratulations on completing the hidden mission: Save the Yangtze Alligator. Reward obtained: Gecko Dictionary, 200 points, 1 million cash. Rewards are being distributed, please check later.】
Jiang Yuan’s eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, rolling around on the bed excitedly.
After a while, the system notification sounded again.
【System 009: Triggered LV2 mission: Save the Suspect; Mission Reward: Bunny Dictionary, 100 points, 1 million cash; Mission Failure Penalty: Plot Manipulation. Mission Time Limit: 72 hours.】
Jiang Yuan lay flat, gazing at the retro chandelier on the ceiling. Her slender brows slowly knitted together. “009, tell me clearly where the suspect is. Is it in Lin Jin or Yun Jing?”
She waited for a while, but System 009 did not respond.
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She gritted her teeth and cursed, “Stupid system.”
【System 009: Miss Jiang, why do you say that?】
Jiang Yuan: “I just asked you a question, why aren’t you answering?”
System 009 went silent again.
Jiang Yuan: “Don’t play dead.”
【System 009: Miss Jiang, the mission notification has been delivered. Please complete the mission on time.】
Jiang Yuan: “Trash system.”
【System 009: If Miss Jiang dislikes this system, you may destroy yourself at any time.】
Jiang Yuan: “…Nerves!”
She sulked by herself for a while, turned off the light, and prepared to rest.
Jiang Yuan was drowsily falling asleep when she suddenly heard a system notification.
【System 009: Triggered LV2 mission: Collect blessings from two pets; Mission Reward: 1 point; Mission Failure Penalty: A thousand needles piercing the heart; Mission Time Limit: 5 hours.】
Jiang Yuan thought she must be dreaming. How could the mission reward only be 1 point?
【System 009: Countdown begins…】
Jiang Yuan’s eyes snapped open. With a thought, she clicked open the system. The mission bar indeed showed two missions in progress.
“Damn it! Revenge!”
