Chapter 97: Train Mission
An Zhi was a mental supernatural ability user. He could sense that something had been drawn out of Sang Chu’s body just now. He wasn’t sure what it was, but it should be related to mental power.
An Hao looked at Sang Chu, whose eyes were open and unfocused in thought, and walked to the side to ask, “Grandfather, she… she won’t be in trouble, will she?”
An Zhi: “No, I saw him buying a train ticket in Gan Zhe’s memory. It was similar to this, probably a soul-leaving-the-body type of operation. Let’s wait and see.”
“Grandfather, then will she lie to us?”
An Zhi sneered, “Someone like her, with a weakness, will obediently comply once their weakness is grasped. Bringing one person onto the train is difficult, and Gan Zhe’s tickets each time cost a thousand crystal cores. There won’t be a mistake there. But Gan Zhe died before he could upgrade, and the one after that disdained cooperating with me, so I had to kill him.
I originally thought that in that situation, I was the only mental supernatural ability user present, and I could get on the train directly. But I didn’t expect that the one who got on the train would be an ordinary person. From then on, I’ve been keeping an eye on her. I didn’t expect her to get so many good things back, more than Gan Zhe got. We can’t let her grow too fast; it’s not a good thing for us.”
An Hao had considered this, but hearing his grandfather say it still sent a shiver down his spine. So, his grandfather had been targeting them for so long.
And Uncle Gan was also killed by him.
Seeing An Hao’s silence, An Zhi couldn’t be bothered. His eyes were fixed on Sang Chu. Suddenly, her entire body disappeared.
An Hao: “She, she…”
An Zhi, however, burst into wild laughter at the spot where Sang Chu had been sitting, “Hahaha, I see it, I see it! It really is a train! I never expected it! Hahaha!!!”
Although it was blurry, he still saw it, which made him incredibly excited.
On the train, Sang Chu wasn’t as happy. Instead, she looked at the man before her, who was like an immortal banished from heaven, with great frustration.
Qin Si Mian: “I heard the little rabbit say you want to take on a mission?”
Hearing his icy voice, Sang Chu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, trembling all over, “Yes, Lord. I wonder what missions I can take.”
“I’ve seen people seeking death, but I’ve never seen anyone actively looking for it. These are all options, choose slowly.”
Sang Chu: “…”
She looked speechlessly at the incomparably handsome man speaking such cold words and fell into complete silence.
Qin Si Mian waved his hand expressionlessly, and a screen suddenly appeared in the air, listing all the missions.
“The highest level is S, with the most points and the fastest death. D-level is the easiest, but for you, it’s almost the same as seeking death. I won’t make an exception for you this time, choose.”
Sang Chu cast his venomous words aside and carefully examined the screen. There were missions of five levels: S, A, B, C, and D. Each was marked with points. The lowest points were for D-level missions, five thousand points.
Although the Sky Wolf Demon was also D-level, it offered eight thousand points. Combined with the two thousand from Hu Sui and Lang Mou, it would be ten thousand.
To upgrade, she needed twenty thousand points. This meant she needed to take at least two D-level missions worth five thousand points each, or one C-level mission worth ten thousand points.
However, the higher the level, the more points, which indicated a more dangerous mission.
Seeing that she was staring at the mission list without deciding, Qin Si Mian spoke:
“Take your time looking. Once you’ve chosen, let the rabbit help you with the process. You won’t be forced off the train when choosing a mission. If you enter a world that’s too high-level and you don’t have enough money, don’t worry. Mission worlds don’t require tickets. As long as the mission is completed, the fare is free, and there are additional rewards besides points. If you fail the mission, you only need to pay all your money when you manage to get back on the train alive. If you don’t have money to get on the train, hehe.”
After the aloof male god let out a cold laugh, he turned and left. Sang Chu stared at his disappearing back and looked at Tu You, “Does he always talk like that?”
Tu You: “Yes, never mind him. What about you, have you chosen?”
Sang Chu shook her head helplessly, “These missions all look harder than the last. Do you have any recommendations?”
“My advice is not to take missions that involve capturing fugitives or criminals. Generally, those are extremely wicked individuals. The fact that you were able to capture the Sky Demon Wolf was partly because Mian Ge gave you a backdoor. After all, ordinary missions don’t stay available for too long. The rest was a combination of strength and luck.”
After hearing his words, Sang Chu removed the capture missions and discovered that there were also rescue and search missions.
“What’s this 《 missing person 》 about?”
Tu You looked at the mission Sang Chu was pointing at and thought for a moment before saying, “I’ve seen this mission. It seems like all the children in a certain small town have disappeared. The one who posted the bounty mission is a detective. It doesn’t look difficult, but with ten thousand points, it’s definitely not simple.”
“Is there any information?”
Qin Si Mian, knowing she wanted to take this mission, walked slowly towards her and said, “There isn’t much information. Everyone who entered this world came out confused. No one knows what happened. Later, even the adults in the small town gradually disappeared. Now, in this mission world, besides this detective, very few people are left. That’s why a D-level mission offers such high points.”
As he spoke, he handed her a stack of documents, “If you want to take this mission, you can look at the records written by previous ticket holders.”
Sang Chu blinked, seemingly unaccustomed to such a gentle Qin Si Mian. But as she opened the booklets, her brows furrowed tighter.
“This detective, he…”
Qin Si Mian: “Is already dead. But he’s still investigating the whereabouts of those children and adults. So, although this mission has high points, that’s just the price I’ve set. The actual bounty for this mission is very low, which is why it’s classified as D-level. The detective’s own child also disappeared while he was out investigating the case. If you take this case, I’ll give you a special privilege.”
“What is it?”
Sang Chu was very curious. Why would such a seemingly cold-hearted person be so invested in this case?
But she also knew that curiosity killed the cat, so she wouldn’t ask about things she shouldn’t know and wouldn’t meddle.
Qin Si Mian: “In a critical moment, you can summon me, and I’ll bring you back to the train at any time. You have a lot of spirit stone jade on you anyway, so even double the ticket price is affordable. This way, neither of us will be violating the rules.”
“Is it very dangerous?”
“I don’t know, but my intuition tells me that all the ticket holders who entered this world haven’t even touched the surface of this matter. If you can resolve this, I can let you directly upgrade to Level 2.”
Sang Chu: “You’re very strange. Are you trying to induce me to investigate this?”
“You could say that. This mission is only D-level but has been pending for a long time, which isn’t a good sign. You are very calm and intelligent. Perhaps you can solve this backlog of cases. How about it, do you want to go?”
“I don’t need you to flatter me to go. High points and a get-out-of-jail-free card, why wouldn’t I?”
