Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 462: Section 458 - Tasks to Be Completed

"Huh?"

Chen Fei had just thought to let out a huge curse when he suddenly felt something was amiss, and his emotions quickly stabilized. With a slightly surprised tone, he said, "Could it be from the Intelligent Species of Cangqiong Star?"

The only Intelligent Species on Blue Star are the Blue Star Humans, including the descendants of Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals.

Both of these racial groups are like melons on the same vine, once brothers and sisters, with no reproductive isolation between them. Therefore, they can naturally be regarded as one.

However, the Intelligent Species of Cangqiong Star are not limited to just the Cangqiong Star Humans; there are also Magical Beasts and the Feathered Tribe, among others, with varying sizes and appearances.

"No!"

Major Li Xinliang shook his head expressionlessly.

"What?"

Removing the highest score (Cangqiong Star) and then the lowest score (Blue Star), Chen Fei looked again and the answer was gone!

No, there was still one answer.

"You can’t be serious?"

Chen Fei immediately understood. The fact that Major Li would allow the bespectacled man to evade in advance was truly startling news.

"Their target is Longinus, he was a decoy."

Li Xinliang did not reveal any more information.

Even that answer was one Chen Fei had deduced on his own. After all, he did not explicitly state anything, let alone admit anything.

After all, this was a restricted conversation, and confidentiality conditions were still in effect.

"Good grief, that guy almost got away!"

Chen Fei put Little Bird back on his shoulder, touching his head with a face full of relief.

If he had let the person escape, no matter how innocent he might be, he would likely not be able to escape responsibility.

Under the banner of righteousness, no one could escape unscathed.

"Indeed, the consequences would have been very serious, extremely serious!"

Li Xinliang nodded seriously.

There were some secrets even he did not know, but he could guess some of them, which were already rather astonishing.

As expected!

The reaction from the other party made Chen Fei even more relieved. He steadied his emotions slightly and ventured to ask, "How’s that guy doing, is he dead?"

He only remembered not holding back, using a proportionally enlarged "Blood Spike" to viciously strike, pulling the opponent right into the ground for a perfect embedding.

"Alive!"

Li Xinyu didn’t say much more.

As for the specifics, he wasn’t too clear, but based on the scene at the time, it seemed rather gruesome. If it had been a human, one strike like that could have probably turned them into dust on the spot.

"What a pity!"

Chen Fei still remembered the command given to him by the "Dragon King" squad captain who had recruited him.

No mercy in killing!

It seemed that in the urgency of the situation, to ensure the retrieval of Longinus, they didn’t even want to follow up on clues.

Not having succeeded in killing the enemy, and not having carried out the order of "no mercy in killing" to the end, made Chen Fei, as a supernatural power user, feel quite inadequate.

But in the eyes of Hanhai Central Base, a B-level supernatural power user being able to take down a superior being was already quite the feat.

If he had been able to kill the opponent as well, that would have been far too terrifying.

"The key point is that we couldn’t find Longinus at the scene!"

Li Xinliang changed the subject.

"Eh? Longinus is missing!"

Stay tuned to novelbuddy

Chen Fei’s eyes widened. He had been so focused on taking down his opponent that he hadn’t paid attention to anything else.

He quickly accessed the "mission list".

"System: Ding! Retrieve Longinus, receive energy points +5000 | failure results in deduction of energy points -20000!"

This mission was still ongoing.

However... it hadn’t declared the mission complete, nor had it stated that the mission failed, indicating that the mission was still in progress.

According to the habits of the Dog System, although Longinus was not in hand, there was a possibility of getting it back.

Laying idle for ten days, doing nothing, yet still being able to retrieve Longinus, winning the mission while lying down, that meant there weren’t too many possibilities.

Emmmm...

Chen Fei fell into deep thought.

"We didn’t find Longinus at the scene, but we still captured some footage."

Major Li Xinliang took out a slim and compact tablet and pulled up a video.

At the time, there were at least dozens of drones circling in the sky, capturing crystal-clear footage of Chen Fei’s death battle with the superhuman entity.

It wasn’t just about giantization, but the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor looked like a humanoid combat mech, fighting an unfair battle with the superhuman entity.

Several drones, from different heights and angles, captured the heroic figure of the giantized "Dragon King" defeating its opponent, delivering a blockbuster-level visual impact.

At the end of the video, the superhuman was beaten down and tried to grab the Longinus again, but when it reached out, it caught nothing; the Longinus had disappeared at that moment, leaving both friend and foe dumbfounded.

The screen froze, and a dark little figure appeared in the camera’s view, unclear what exactly it was.

After all, under the cover of night, black objects are especially hard to distinguish.

Then the little figure leapt into the air, and a vague silhouette could be seen, especially the wings, resembling a bird, and then a trail of light flared in the air, eventually leaving behind only a streak of light that entered the Barrier-protected urban area.

A series of suspicious freeze frames formed a puzzle.

"Uh!"

Chen Fei slowly looked over his shoulder.

A small bird with black feathers, which radiated light when moving at full speed, especially in this town—other than Xiao Jiu the Pure Light Sparrow, who else could it be?

It was confirmed!

The Dog System’s "Mission List" had a task that remained unchanged, now verified.

Major Li Xinliang nodded at Chen Fei as if he had expected this.

It seemed Hanhai Central Base had suspected this little fellow all along.

Unfortunately, there was a communication barrier between them; Xiao Jiu didn’t speak human language, and probably had a hard time understanding what Longinus meant, so they could only rely on Chen Fei, once he came to, to try to find out from the little bird where the Longinus had gone.

If it weren’t for both man and bird being there, the central base would probably be anxious.

"Understood!"

Chen Fei nodded, finally grasping the intent of the other party.

He caught the little guy again and placed it on the bed of the healing pod, pointed at the little bird’s head with his finger, and said, "Xiao Jiu, hand over your spoils of war!"

"Jiu?"

The Little Bird tilted its head in confusion and then pecked Chen Fei’s fingertip.

"The stuff inside here!"

Chen Fei pointed at Xiao Jiu’s Leg Ring.

Uh! Which one was correct? He was also at a loss, so he simply pointed at both.

Rolling out, a bottle of liquor tumbled out.

Major Li recognized the brand on the bottle immediately and blurted out.

"Sofia 2022?"

Just this bottle of brandy could cover a good portion of his semi-annual salary.

Gulp! Major Li couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. Giving up half a year’s salary to buy this bottle of liquor was unthinkable, as there was no way to purchase it.

This bird was more extravagant than him; hiding such expensive drinks in a Spatial Storage Artifact.

"Not this one, it’s long and thin!"

Seeing the bottle of liquor, Chen Fei knew for sure it was Xiao Jiu’s spoils of war, definitely stolen from Boss Hana, but it was still not what he was looking for, so he started to gesture with his hands.

Plunking down, a barrel of pens rolled out.

Well, although long and thin, it was not what Chen Fei and Major Li wanted.

Then they indicated it was something with a triple twist design.

Following that, a bag of pretzel sticks fell onto the bed.

Brandy "Sofia 2022" with pretzel sticks, quite a combination.

Xiao Jiu could assert that it understood every word said by Dad Chen Fei, but when put together, the meaning became somewhat challenging to grasp.

The Little Bird lowered its head, pecked at its Leg Ring, and then, clunk after clunk, boxes were tossed out, quickly piling up on the entire healing pod bed.

As the bed could no longer hold them, they spilled onto the floor, with more and more being thrown, stacking up as high as a person.

"How, how is this possible?"

Major Li was nearly dumbstruck.

What in the world was this mess stuffed inside the little bird’s Storage Magical Device?

Liquor and snacks were understandable, but the contents of those boxes were clearly not food or beverage; on closer inspection, most were bona fide paper documents, filled with professional jargon, formulae, and symbols that were perplexing.

After rummaging through a few boxes, Major Li Xinliang gave up; these were not the items he was looking for.

The more that was thrown out of the Space System Alchemy Storage Device, the quicker the initially spacious room filled up, until finally, a long and thin object was tossed atop the pile nearing the ceiling.

Both Chen Fei and Major Li’s eyes lit up.

The Longinus was indeed in this little thing’s grasp.
