Ye Shijie, Song Mingqian, and Li Fu immediately returned to the Squad Channel chat room.
Ye Shijie asked first, "What's going on? Did you guys accept a mission?"
Ping Qiong quickly said, "Chujian and I decided together."
Xia Chujian followed up with an explanation, "I just wanted to find a legitimate reason to explain to my aunt, so I can leave Mulan City smoothly and go to Da Fu Prefecture."
"Didn't my aunt agree to let me continue being a Hunter? So I thought about getting a simple mission to Da Fu Prefecture from the Association, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone? — Using one mission to cover up another."
"Besides, we can take the opportunity to get equipment from the Association, and, we can get the Association to reimburse our travel and accommodation expenses!"
Li Fu, upon hearing this, immediately praised, "That's a great idea! This way we can all go to Da Fu Prefecture openly!"
"Most importantly, we don't have to pay for our own equipment and accommodation!" Xia Chujian valued this the most.
Ye Shijie's lips twitched, but he still said, "The idea is indeed good, but what is this mission? I see it's B Grade, this kind of mission is already a high-level mission in the Association, the difficulty might be very high."
Song Mingqian said, "I don't think the difficulty should be too high. Little Chujian has always been lucky. Although this is a B Grade mission, looking at the content, it's just to secretly protect a noble lady for six days. And we can earn three million Beichen Coins!"
Ping Qiong's eyes were shining, "Yeah! Which noble lady is this?! Just think, six million for a week! The Association takes 50%, and we get three million!"
With this comparison, Ping Qiong was envious again, sighing, "We even get the Association to reimburse our travel expenses and bullet money, but other people's daughters, when they go on a trip, they have to hire Dark Night Hunter elites to protect them secretly… It's really comparing people to people, it's infuriating."
Song Mingqian said, "This is just the money spent in secret, who knows how much money is spent openly."
Li Fu directly clicked on the mission, smiling, "Let me see which noble lady is so rich and powerful!"
But he clicked for a long time and couldn't find the specific name in the mission description.
However, the Association then sent them a schedule.
This schedule specified the coordinates they had to reach starting at 6:00 AM on Monday morning.
It also said that when they arrived at the first coordinate location, the name and photo of the noble lady they were to protect would be sent to their squad's encrypted account.
"So mysterious? Could it really be a princess?" Xia Chujian was eager to try, "In our empire now, there are only two living princesses, right?"
One is the current princess, Tantai Jing, and the other is the princess from the previous emperor's era, Tantai Jinyu, who is now Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess.
Ye Shijie smiled noncommittally, "Little Chujian, you need to have a correct understanding of our strength. If it were a princess, even an A Grade mission wouldn't be enough. And the real big shots in the Association would directly handle the mission, how could it be our turn? — This little bit of money isn't even enough to fill their teeth. Don't think about it, it's definitely not at the princess level."
If it wasn't a princess, then the range was wide, and it was very difficult to guess.
Xia Chujian stopped thinking about it.
She just looked at the schedule and sighed, "I have to go talk to my aunt immediately and explain the situation, I hope my aunt can accept this condition and let me leave smoothly. By the way, do we still need to get equipment from the Association? Wait for me to go with you!"
Looking at the time, they had to leave immediately.
Song Mingqian said, "From Mulan City to Da Fu Prefecture, it takes ten hours to fly with our current Combat Aircraft."
"So we have to leave by 8:00 PM at the latest, and we'll arrive in Da Fu Prefecture at 6:00 AM, but it's impossible to leave so precisely. It's 11:30 AM now, hurry up and pack your luggage, everyone!"
Ye Shijie made a decision, "Then we'll leave at 1:00 PM this afternoon, arrive in Da Fu Prefecture at 10:00 PM, and we can rest for one night."
The squad's video call ended.
Xia Chujian paced around the room anxiously.
She didn't expect it to be so urgent, the time wasn't enough for the slow and careful work she had prepared.
She had no confidence that she could convince her aunt to let her out in a few hours.
But she turned around her house a few times and suddenly remembered that her aunt wasn't home right now…
She could act first and report later! After three years of independent living, Xia Chujian's courage was also growing.
She first checked the temperature in Da Fu Prefecture and found that it was much warmer than Mulan City.
Mulan City was unexpectedly cold this winter, compared to Da Fu Prefecture, it was like comparing Mulan City to the Land of the Far North in the Exotic Beast Forest, not even in the same league.
The temperature at night in Da Fu Prefecture was at least fifteen degrees above zero, while in Mulan City, the temperature at night could drop to forty degrees below zero! Da Fu Prefecture was around twenty degrees above zero during the day, the climate was very pleasant.
And the highest temperature in Mulan City during the day was now ten degrees below zero.
No wonder the noble lady wanted to go to Da Fu Prefecture for a trip at this time, instead of coming to Mulan City.
Xia Chujian packed the gun case, mask, and helmet, changed into the khaki hunting suit she wore for missions, and didn't bring any kind of coat.
Of course, the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha was carried with her.
In case of bad luck, it was something that could save her life.
Then she put on a backpack, which contained some simple toiletries, a few sets of disposable underwear, and two sets of the same khaki hunting suit for changing, and she also took a hundred Low-Level Nutrient Solutions that she had bought before for herself.
She didn't take the bag of Advanced Nutrient Solution issued by the Association, but left it in the refrigerator in the kitchen at home for her aunt to eat.
Then, next to her aunt's note, she also left a note.
"Auntie, I'm going to Da Fu Prefecture to perform a task assigned by the Dark Night Hunter. It's to be a bodyguard for a noble lady. It's very safe, just treat it as a public-funded trip. I'll be back in a week. - From Chujian."
Xia Chujian carried her gun case wrapped in a blue and white floral cloth cover, and carried a small travel bag in her hand, and quickly left home.
As she walked, she sent a message to the squad on the Squad Channel.
[Xia Chujian]: I'm all packed, and now I'm going to the branch residence to pick up the equipment. Do you want to come over together? [Xia Chujian]: Let's leave early and go there to prepare early.
Before accepting the Association's mission, the squad's division of labor was originally to let Ye Shijie and Song Mingqian go to Da Fu Prefecture first.
But now that they have accepted this urgent mission, everyone must go to Da Fu Prefecture together, no matter who goes first.
Since this was the case, Ye Shijie made a decision.
[Ye Shijie]: Everyone, go to the Association branch residence to gather now. After receiving the equipment, leave Mulan City together and go to Da Fu Prefecture.
Ping Qiong was busy packing her things, and when she heard Xia Chujian say this, she took a moment to ask.
[Cai Jie]: Chujian, did your aunt agree? [Xia Chujian]: My aunt is not at home. I was afraid of delaying things, so I couldn't wait and left her a note.
Followed by a "smug cat" GIF.
Everyone immediately understood that she was going to act first and report later.
Anyway, Xia Chujian was an adult, and this was a matter between her and her family, so outsiders didn't need to comment.
Everyone smiled when they saw it, and didn't say much.
...
Xia Chujian took the Inner City Maglev Train to the front of the Association branch residence building, and waited downstairs for everyone to come over together.
In the past, they would directly take the Flying Vehicle and park on the top floor.
But this time it wouldn't work, only Ye Shijie could drive the Flying Vehicle over.
Because the squad's Combat Aircraft was usually parked at Ye Shijie's house. His house was big, and there was an open space in front of the door, which was just right for parking the Flying Vehicle.
So when everyone arrived, only Ye Shijie drove the Flying Vehicle directly and went to the top floor helipad to park the Flying Vehicle first.
Xia Chujian, Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Ping Qiong took the elevator upstairs together from the first floor.
Because this skyscraper had hundreds of floors and towered into the clouds, there were no standing positions in the elevator, but seats.
After everyone went in, they sat down in their seats and fastened their seat belts before they could press the elevator floor button.
The elevator rushed straight into the sky with a whoosh, and the speed was so fast that it almost produced a state of weightlessness.
Therefore, there must be seat belts to fix them in their seats, otherwise they might float up and hit somewhere in the elevator.
In just twenty seconds, the elevator reached the top floor of hundreds of floors.
The time they spent fastening their seat belts when entering the elevator and unfastening their seat belts when exiting the elevator was longer than the time the elevator ran directly.
...
The group came to the familiar silver-white oval hall, first confirmed the mission, and then took the mission card to another place to receive equipment.
Although the mission level this time was B Grade, the equipment was very ordinary, not as good as the Geng Grade mission to find the Blood Kirin last time.
The only thing that could compare was that they were still allowed to borrow the Combat Aircraft, which used Small-Scale Controlled Nuclear Fusion as power, to fly to the Land of the Far North in the Exotic Beast Forest.
In addition, at Xia Chujian's insistence, the Association agreed that they would receive some more bullets, such as sniper bullets suitable for the Judicator No. 7 Sniper Rifle, ordinary bullets suitable for Assault Rifles, and two boxes of Star-Telling Smart Machine Gun bullets.
I don't know if it was because this time the time was relatively long, and also, the one to be protected in secret was a noble lady.
Among the Association's equipment, there were two sets of evening dresses suitable for Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong's figures, as well as two sets of very handsome women's daytime casual wear.
In addition, there were five sets of Quan Family Security Personnel uniforms, regardless of gender.
As well as embedded Bluetooth earrings that could be used for covert communication, poison needle rings with both anesthetic and deadly poison, and two pairs of high heels with hidden blades.
The last difference was that they were given five bags of Advanced Nutrient Solution.
Xia Chujian was not a Gene Evolver, so she had never been allocated this kind of Advanced Nutrient Solution before.
But this time, she clearly got a bag too.
These were small packages, with only ten tubes of Advanced Nutrient Solution in each bag.
Far less than the box Li Fu gave Xia Chujian.
But as food for a week, it was more than enough.
This kind of Advanced Nutrient Solution even took the water ratio into account.
They didn't need to bring extra water at all.
Of course, people with habits and preferences could still bring their own water bottles.
Ye Shijie directed everyone to put their things into the Combat Aircraft they received from the Association.
Xia Chujian said, "You guys go and settle down first, I'll ask the Association about something."
Since she was already here, Xia Chujian sent a message to Director Gu Shanjun of the Association in the Association's internal system.
[Xia Chujian]: Director Gu, when will my Supernatural Helmet arrive? It'll be a month in a few days. If I don't have the helmet, can I claim the 50 million Beichen Coins?
Gu Shanjun replied instantly when he saw it.
[Gu Shanjun]: Xia Chujian, the helmet has arrived. I originally wanted to send it to Mulan City, but I found out that you just received a mission to Da Fu Prefecture. I'm going to Da Fu Prefecture too, so I'll give it to you there.
Xia Chujian was overjoyed.
[Xia Chujian]: Thank you, Director Gu! See you in Da Fu Prefecture!
It's the second to last day of the month, treasure, hurry up and clear out your monthly tickets! Since everyone wants three updates together, let's do it together!
This is the second update, turn the page, there is a third update.
Today there is an extra update for 300 monthly tickets, all three updates will be released together. ^_^.
