Chapter 504 The Second Reward
The rain was pouring down and the wind was blowing fiercely.
The whistling sound of the wind was like the howling of an evil spirit, making one's hair stand on end.
The night in the mountains is far less bright than the night in the city; it is pitch black everywhere.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the torches were no longer useful.
Members of the South Wind Organization held high-powered flashlights and continued their cleanup work on the stormy night, rescuing slaves and rounding up prisoners.
Ginny and the others are leaving.
They are all from the Western Continent and have things to do there, so they won't stay here for too long.
"Su, my friend, if you come to the Western Continent, be sure to contact me and I will treat you to the best wine in the Western Continent!" The wine barrel laughed and gave Su Xia a pretty tight hug.
"Definitely!" Su Xia answered seriously.
In the heavy rain, everyone said goodbye.
"Su, see you in the Western Continent."
Ginny's eyes curved slightly, she smiled softly, and pulled the hood behind her back over her head, covering her blonde hair.
She also hugged Su Xia, and there was a scent of tulips and red wine mixed on her body.
Afterwards, the group of seven left the town.
Under the cover of night, the few people quickly turned into small black dots and gradually disappeared from Su Xia's sight.
And it’s time for Su Xia to go back.
In this incident in Town No. 7, he did not trigger the system task and did not receive any reward.
But he had already gotten some of the things he wanted, such as the land deed to Coral City that he had found in the town's central market.
A total of five land contracts in Coral City, more than ten real estate contracts, and even the ten-year operating rights of two large trade markets. It is hard to imagine that he took all of these from the mercenaries.
With these lands, Su Xia no longer has to ask others for help whether he wants to build a factory, open a company or set up a branch.
If you have land in your hands, you will not be worried.
In fact, he did plan to set up a pharmaceutical group to completely integrate the pharmaceutical supply channels in the southwest of the entire continent, and then expand to the surrounding areas.
In this world, military force is not the only way to expand influence; financial power is also a way, and it has a greater influence in peacetime.
The origin of the contract was also easy to fabricate. He could say that he bought it on the black market. Anyway, many black markets often purchased shady materials from mercenaries.
“It’s time to go!”
Su Xia counted the spoils, then went to Li Defu, Chu Tang and others to explain a few things.
Chu Tang and Mu Yang were particularly reluctant to leave. After all, they had only been together for a short while and now they had to leave again. They didn't even get to have a meal with Su Xia.
But they also knew that in these special times, even relatives and friends were rarely together, so it was unrealistic to let Su Xia stay here.
"You must remember that this town cannot be used as a base, not even a temporary one."
Before leaving, Su Xia gave serious instructions.
"Try to collect all the supplies before tomorrow evening, then evacuate with the personnel, break up into smaller units, and avoid the patrols of the Mechanoids."
"We understand!"
"Master, don't worry. I will let my undead brothers protect them."
"Well, I believe in your abilities..."
Su Xia looked relieved, nodded slightly, and then looked at the horizon.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be given has been given.
He said nothing more and took one last look at the ruined Town No. 7 before activating his Speed Boots and disappearing into the heavy rain.
Back to Coral City!
As for Longcheng, he planned to go there using the identity of the commander.
After all, the old dean and others are friends with him as the commander and can help him settle down in Dragon City.
Now the whole Dragon City is in turmoil, undercurrents are surging, all kinds of rumors are flying around, and even the Lord of Dragon City is injured.
Su Xia doesn't trust too many people.
If possible, when he goes to Longcheng this time, he will find out those guys who are hiding behind and spreading rumors.
…
Oasis Camp, the old base.
Su Xia's commander opened the warehouse door and walked out slowly.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, but the base was still bustling with people. Many new night owls were fighting monsters and leveling up overnight. The pharmacy, training shop, weapon shop and other shops were packed with people and bustling with noise.
Players wearing all kinds of strange equipment walked around the base.
Some players did not fight monsters, but sat on the roof or lay on the grass to look at the stars, enjoying the life in another world.
For many people, life in games has become their second life.
The two brothers Mo Zheng and Mo Zhan have not rested yet and are training a group of players.
These players were carefully selected by them and Lin Shan to form the Beifeng organization's undead extra-team.
"commander!"
Seeing Su Xia coming out, the two brothers immediately dropped what they were doing and ran over to report the basic situation in the camp to Su Xia.
After the report, Mo Zheng handed Su Xia a piece of news from the new camp.
He said, "Commander, this is what Cheng Ping'an asked me to pass on to you. Something has happened in Longcheng, and Dean Hu of the academy has already returned with many people."
"good."
Su Xia nodded slightly and opened the message to take a look.
At the new base, the academics and the research institute reached a temporary agreement not to wake up the two sleeping aliens.
Due to changes within Longcheng, the old dean Hu Yun took most of the people back to take charge, leaving only Zhang Fang as the representative of the academy to stay in the Oasis Camp.
On the research institute side, Wang Luo, director of the 051 Institute, also returned with a group of people, and also left behind a few people as representatives.
As for Zhang Fang's teacher Shi Sishi...
Due to the previous conflict with Su Xia, the old man has always been in an awkward position in the camp, and this time he went back with the people from the academy.
At the end of this message, there is a message from Zhang Fang:
[Commander, there are many strange things about the changes in Dragon City]
[The dean hopes that you can go to Dragon City as soon as possible. With your wisdom, you should be able to find out the termites inside Dragon City.]
[The dean has forged an identity for you. The ID card is with me. Only the dean and I know about this. You can enter Dragon City with this forged identity.]
This is an invitation.
In order to facilitate Su Xia's actions, the old dean actually forged an ID card for him.
After all, Su Xia's reputation as the "North Wind Commander" is not small. Once he goes to Longcheng, he will definitely attract attention from all parties.
At that time, his every move would be under the scrutiny of the outside world, and it would not be so convenient for him to investigate something secretly.
"I do have an ID card here, which I got from a previous mission." Su Xia pondered for a moment, "This ID card should be the safest. As for the one that the old dean forged for me... Although only he and Zhang Fang know about it, it is still risky..."
Dragon City’s ID card is not complicated.
It is about the same size as a normal magnetic card and has an identity chip built into it.
The difficulty in forging this kind of ID card lies not in the chip or the material, but in finding a suitable identity.
"There are many areas within Dragon City where you can swipe your ID card online. To pass verification in those areas, the information on your ID card must match the personal information in the internal system."
In other words, the old dean must choose a suitable identity from the internal system of Longcheng to give to Su Xia.
In this way, he will definitely leave traces in the system.
Although his authority is high enough, it is not infallible.
In comparison, Su Xia trusts the props issued by the system more.
"I have to go back to the new base. Please be careful."
Su Xia put away the letter and explained some things to the two brothers Mo Zheng and Mo Zhan.
Then he called Lin Shan again, gave him a batch of psychic potions, and asked him to set up a suitable reward and punishment mechanism.
During this period, through Lin Shan's efforts, the number of players in the Beifeng Organization's Undead Extra Team has exceeded a thousand. All of them are elites, no worse than the players recruited by Li Defu and others.
Afterwards, Su Xia taught Lin Shan his active skill [Psychic Thrust], which made it easier for him to deal with monsters with thick armor, speed up the killing of monsters, and continue to maintain his world's number one rank.
"Come on, and strive to become the first player to reach level 60!"
Su Xia glanced at Lin Shan's level and found that he was already level 54, not far from the final registration of the current stage.
It is said that the first player to reach level 60 will receive a super mission that will influence the course of history of the game world.
Some people also say that the first player to reach level 60 will receive a special gift package from the game's official account, and may even be made into an NPC character.
Of course, these are still rumors, and the official has not given much information.
After briefly chatting with Lin Shan, Su Xia left.
He put on the mechanical armor, activated the armor's power, and with a bang, he soared into the sky and flew to the location of the new base.
“Huff—”
There was a strong wind howling in the night sky.
The journey was smooth and there was no trouble.
At dawn, when the first crimson glow appeared on the horizon, the new site of the Oasis Camp was in sight.
Su Xia slowed down, lowered his altitude, and slowly landed outside the crack of the alien spacecraft wreckage.
There were fewer makeshift tents on the grass outside the rift, and it was much quieter than before Su Xia left, mainly because most of the Longcheng team had gone back.
At this time, Zhang Fang and others were sitting around a big iron pot, sharing the fragrant vegetable and lean meat porridge in the pot.
Seeing Su Xia coming, everyone stood up and put down the bowls in their hands.
"commander!"
"Mr. North Wind!"
"Boss!"
There were more than ten people next to the iron pot, most of whom were people Su Xia knew.
Next to Zhang Fang were Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng.
The two of them have already left the Zero Point Tavern and officially joined the Oasis Camp.
In addition to them, there are Cheng Pingan, Xiong Wei, Lan Guang and several people from the Longcheng team.
"Good morning, everyone."
Su Xia walked out of the mecha with a smile on her face and greeted everyone.
"Commander, you're finally back!" Xiong Wei also spoke with a smile. There was a hint of tiredness on his face. Managing the camp took up a lot of his energy.
"I wasn't gone for many days, so nothing serious happened, right?" Su Xia said with a smile.
"Commander, do you know about the incident in Dragon City?"
"Got it, let's eat first and chat while we eat..."
Su Xia walked to the big iron pot, sat down with everyone, and talked about things while drinking porridge.
When talking about the changes in Longcheng, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared and the atmosphere became a little solemn.
Zhang Fang talked about the recent situation in Longcheng, mainly to Su Xia.
After the city lord was attacked, rumors spread throughout Longcheng and people were in panic. The most common rumors were about internal strife, division, and civil war.
Many people were worried that something might really happen, so they sent their families out of the city and into small gathering places nearby.
Fortunately, President Hu Yun and others returned in time.
Dean Hu is highly qualified and respected, and many heads of important departments in the city are his students.
After he returned, he immediately took on the position of acting city lord, taking full responsibility for all affairs in the city, and quickly quelled the chaos in the city.
but……
Although the chaos on the surface has been settled, undercurrents are still surging in Dragon City.
The old dean couldn't handle the situation alone, so he naturally thought of Su Xia. He hoped that Su Xia could go there as soon as possible and calm down the turmoil as an outsider.
After all, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly.
Su Xia had never been to Longcheng before and had no connections inside Longcheng, which was exactly his advantage.
He can look at everything and everyone with an equal eye.
"This is the current situation." Zhang Fang said slowly in a low voice.
"Okay, I understand."
After understanding the basic situation, Su Xia already had some idea in his mind.
Afterwards, Cheng Ping'an reported the situation of the Beifeng Organization to Su Xia.
The North Wind Organization already has over a thousand official members. Currently, the organization has sufficient supplies and internal harmony, so there is basically nothing for Su Xia to worry about.
They eat, live and train together, and have deep internal ties, which is completely different from those mercenary organizations that are prone to conflicts at any time.
Moreover, as time goes by, many people develop feelings that go beyond comrades-in-arms.
This month alone, more than a dozen couples became husband and wife with everyone's blessings.
But they did not hold a wedding. They wanted to wait for Su Xia to come back and then hold a large wedding and invite Su Xia to be a witness of their wedding.
"Commander, what do you think?" After Cheng Ping'an finished his report, he seriously asked Su Xia for her opinion.
"Sure, no problem!" Su Xia said with a smile, "When there are more people getting married, we can hold a large ceremony, and I will preside over it myself."
Next, Su Xia talked with Xiong Wei and Lan Guang about the current situation of the Oasis Camp.
After breakfast, Su Xia entered the wreckage of the spacecraft.
His goal was naturally to simulate the system's "S" rating, intending to get seven "S"s in one fell swoop, and then go to the wreckage of the alien jungle to open the second reward.
There may be many unexpected dangers on this journey to Longcheng, so Su Xia must take his strength to the next level.
"So much time has passed, and you haven't received the reward of seven 'S's yet. Did you keep it for me on purpose?" Su Xia asked Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng with a smile.
These two guys have only got four "S"s so far, the same as Su Xia.
The two of them laughed awkwardly, indicating that it was not that they didn't work hard.
"That hell battlefield is too difficult. It's a luxury to survive, let alone get a high-level evaluation." Sun Lang sighed, "Commander, we didn't let them go on purpose. According to our progress, we may not be able to get seven 'S's in another month or two."
"Is it really that difficult?" Su Xia asked.
"Commander, you will know if you try it yourself. The subsequent plot is simply not designed for normal people! Even for you, Commander, it may take more than half a month to pass it." Chang Rufeng said seriously.
"Okay, I'll try."
Su Xia smiled, walked into the simulation cabin under the gaze of the two people, and began the subsequent plot.
Time flies quickly, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Two days later in the evening, Su Xia left the simulation cabin and received the subsequent three "S" evaluations in front of the shocked gazes of the two people.
"How come it's so fast?" Sun Lang stared in disbelief as he checked Su Xia's results in the simulation system. Then he saw the seven glittering golden "S's".
"Good luck."
Su Xia smiled casually without further explanation.
After the difficult battle in Kaiba Castle that night, Su Xia's ability to adapt to such big scenes was much stronger than before.
That trip to the seaside really brought him a lot of benefits.
Afterwards, Su Xia went to the alien plant jungle with seven "S" evaluations. At five in the morning of the next day, he arrived at the center of the jungle and entered the wreckage of the spacecraft in the jungle area.
In the prize compartment inside the wreckage, Su Xia got the second reward, which was exactly what he needed right now - a melee weapon!
In the second cabinet of the prize cabin, there was a cold sword.
[Seventh-level weapon: Sword of the Abyss]
