Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3917 - 3936: First Contact with the New World
Barbecue and wine, the taste lasts forever.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere heated up.
Luo Zheng raised his wine glass and clinked it with Sun Lei, asking, "Team leader, are we taking on that mission or not?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Sun Lei frowned and said, "I’d like to take it, but it feels quite dangerous. With our team’s strength, if anything happens, we might end up as cannon fodder."
Luo Zheng downed his glass of wine in one go, "But if we don’t take on a mission soon, we’re going to be left with nothing to eat."
Sun Lei nodded, looking conflicted, "This mission, though it offers a generous reward, has too many uncertainties. If something goes wrong, it’s going to be a big problem."
Geng Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Wealth is sought amidst danger; adventurers trade life for money. There are safer missions, but the rewards are too low. Captain, let’s take it, let’s gamble!"
Geng Feng was obviously spurred by the previous events, his hand clenched into a fist with veins popping out, "With one more X-type fusion liquid, I can get promoted to Level 5."
Geng Feng’s eyes swept over the people, landing on Luo Zheng’s face, "Luo Zheng is also not far from Level 6. He has the talent, and with enough resources, he can soon advance to Level 6."
"If this mission goes smoothly, we can earn substantial rewards. If there are additional gains along the way, it might just be enough for Luo Zheng to get promoted to Level 6."
"Once Luo Zheng reaches Level 6, our Rose Squad’s combat power and competitiveness will greatly improve, and we’ll be able to take on more high-level missions in this area."
Luo Zheng’s eyes flickered with excitement, but he didn’t speak, just staring intently at Sun Lei.
Sun Lei, looking at the agitated Geng Feng and the eager Luo Zheng, furrowed his brows even further.
"Qiuyue, what do you think?"
He Qiuyue remained silent for a few seconds before decisively saying, "Take it!"
Sun Lei sighed. Well, it seems she was also stirred today; normally cautious, she was remarkably decisive and brave today.
Rose Squad was not doing well, and the team’s strength wasn’t improving quickly, largely because of Team Leader Sun Lei.
Rose Squad was established by Sun Lei himself; he discovered everyone, and the team’s atmosphere is harmonious, like a family. As the leader, he doesn’t want anyone to get hurt.
Safety first, this has always been Sun Lei’s principle.
For safety, risks must be eliminated. Risk-free missions mean low rewards, and without enough money to purchase resources, everyone’s improvement naturally slows down.
Although Sun Lei’s safety-first strategy has many drawbacks, the team never suffered any casualties or losses.
According to Sun Lei’s principles, he wouldn’t take on the mission suggested by Luo Zheng. But now, it seems everyone is inclined to accept the mission.
The conflict tonight heightened everyone’s emotions, turning their already strong desire to become stronger and to advance into an even more intense passion.
Only with strong enough strength can one avoid being bullied!
If they had the strength of a Seventh-level Warrior, that Chen Bin wouldn’t dare be so arrogant today!
Sun Lei stared at Luo Zheng, "Take it?"
Luo Zheng nodded decisively, "Take it!"
Sun Lei sighed, but didn’t speak more about the dangers of the mission, simply nodding, "Alright, tomorrow I’ll make contact, and if the terms are right, we’ll take on the mission."
Lin Chen listening quietly to the conversation, hadn’t spoken until now, seeing the group make a decision, he then asked, "Are you planning to take on a mission? What mission, can you share?"
Sun Lei replied, "An escort mission, escorting a batch of valuable goods, but the route crosses Black River Valley, so it comes with some risk."
Lin Chen inquired, "What’s dangerous about this Black River Valley?"
Luo Zheng explained, "The Black River Valley is largely occupied by foreign beasts. The military had cleared the valley before, but most of the beasts were eliminated. However, they reproduce quickly, and now the Black River Valley has quite a few foreign beasts again."
"Aside from possible foreign beast threats, we might encounter robbers. Ultimately, this escort mission has high uncertainty and high danger."
"The employer has hired more than one adventuring team. Our Rose Squad isn’t very strong, and undertaking such a mission means, if we encounter real danger, we could end up as cannon fodder, potentially with heavy casualties or even complete annihilation."
Curious, Lin Chen asked, "When does this mission start?"
Sun Lei answered, "Three days later, and the journey is estimated to take five days."
Lin Chen thought for a moment. Recently he had nothing to do, so why not join for a trip?
He’s been in the Federation for quite a while, and though he knows a lot about it, he hasn’t stepped out of Jinghai City.
This mission wouldn’t take much time, and Ning Xiuzhu’s preparations still need some time, so time is still quite sufficient.
Lin Chen wanted to truly interact with other warriors through this mission, possible foreign beasts, or even possible robbers, to truly engage with this world in a meaningful way.
Although Sun Lei said there are many uncertainties in this mission, Lin Chen and the others possess the star sky jump ability, even if they encounter any danger, escaping shouldn’t be a problem, right?
They’re just ordinary members of the team, naturally not being prominently targeted from the start.
Lin Chen said, "How about we accompany you on the trip?"
Sun Lei looked up surprised, not having time to speak before Luo Zheng beside him widened his eyes in excitement.
"Really? Are you really willing to join us?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "There’s still some time before I head out for business, I’ve been in the Federation so long without exploring the outside world, might as well take this opportunity to have a look."
Luo Zheng excitedly asked, "Is it just you, or all three of you?"
"Let’s all go together."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If something really happens, three people’s strength is better than one."
Luo Zheng excitedly told Sun Lei, "Team leader, hurry and take the mission, with these three joining, there will definitely be no problem."
Sun Lei’s eyes also showed excitement. With Lin Chen and the other two joining, not only will Rose Squad’s safety greatly increase, but also he can demand a higher reward.
"Your three’s strength..."
Lin Chen calmly replied, "Approximately Sixth-level Warrior."
Sun Lei nodded crisply, "Three Sixth-level Warriors, that’s quite a strong lineup that only prestigious adventurer teams can have, I’ll talk to the employer and try to secure a higher reward."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You just make the decision, Captain Sun, we’re just joining to explore the outside world."
Sun Lei laughed heartily, "I’ll make sure it’s arranged."
Luo Zheng raised his cup excitedly, "With you joining, this mission will definitely be no problem, thank you all!"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "No need to be polite, though we’re not excessively strong, if something really happens, we might not be able to hold it up..."
