110: World of Warcraft

"Lin Ye, time for a mission!" Chu Tianba called out to Lin Ye.

"Coming!" Lin Ye flew down from the third floor.

"What's the mission, Uncle Chu?"

That's right, ever since he learned the ages of the other team members, he had changed his address.

Chu Tianba didn't mind; being called 'uncle' made him feel younger.

"There's a rare metal ore vein. Its value is good, so we can give it a try."

During this time, the team members had frequently gone out to find suitable missions.

Too simple meant low returns, and too difficult was beyond their capabilities.

Three-star missions were the most suitable for them.

The other team members gradually got ready.

Team Leader Zhou Yuke reminded them, "There are many competitors for this mission, so we need to be careful. It's said that this ore vein seems quite unusual."

Zhou Qingyu added, "That's right. It's rumored that someone found traces of monsters in this ore vein. We not only need to be careful of other factions but also pay attention to these monsters."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Because Lin Ye possessed Star Eyes, he flew at the very front to lead the way.

Lin Ye had voluntarily revealed his Star Eyes.

When his teammates learned that Lin Ye had this skill, they were all overjoyed.

To minimize the impact of the fog, ability users exploring White Mist City usually prepared a large amount of fog detection equipment.

But no matter how much they prepared, it still couldn't compare to normal reconnaissance.

Therefore, Lin Ye having Star Eyes was an unexpected delight.

Under Lin Ye's guidance, everyone avoided numerous obstacles and arrived at their destination.

"Lin Ye's ability is too useful," Chu Tianba said, still wanting more.

In the past, missions often encountered many dangers.

For example, the birds in the sky.

There were very few types of birds living in White Mist City.

But those that could survive in the fog had all adapted to the White Mist environment.

The most common were Fog Crows.

They could transform their bodies into White Mist, greatly immune to physical damage, and could also merge with the White Mist, making them extremely stealthy.

Their own strength was also good, generally at the fifth to sixth tier. When they appeared in groups, even an ordinary eighth-tier team would find them troublesome.

According to past experience, they would have encountered at least two to three waves of Fog Crows on this journey, but thanks to Lin Ye, they did not encounter any danger.

"Lin Ye is too useful."

"Exactly, exactly! Lin Ye, my granddaughter is so pretty, are you interested in meeting her?"

"Get out of here! My granddaughter is much more sensible than yours. A genius like Lin Ye needs a virtuous wife."

They say three women make a show, but with the exception of Gu Qingzhu, who didn't talk much, these gossipy women were more than a single show.

Lin Ye remained silent.

He had experienced this kind of matchmaking in his previous Life; the more you resisted, the more excited the matchmakers became.

"Stop, stop! First, pay attention to your surroundings. It's time for the mission," Team Leader Zhou Yuke reminded them.

The team instantly quieted down.

"Captain, I'll go scout ahead. You all wait here," Lin Ye said.

"Okay, go ahead, but be careful and don't overexert yourself," Zhou Yuke reminded him. This was Lin Ye's first mission, and she was still quite worried.

Lin Ye quickly ascended.

This ore vein was very large.

It was said to contain a metal extremely suitable for crafting weapons—Azure Silver.

Lin Ye's investigation confirmed this; Azure Silver was everywhere within his Star Eyes' range.

The region where White Mist City was located—White Mist Forest—was rich in resources. Lin Ye had already discovered many resources along the way.

He had noted them all down.

But those were very small resource points, probably equivalent to one-star missions.

They were far inferior to this ore vein.

One, two, three.

There were many teams eyeing the ore vein nearby.

Lin Ye had already detected no less than ten teams.

Two of them were already fighting.

Moreover, it wasn't just teams; there was also a peculiar Life form, Rune Steel Life.

Rune Steel Life was a special Life form created when intelligent Azure Silver attached itself to a living organism.

It was a very peculiar symbiotic entity.

Their numbers were not small.

Before everyone decided on the ownership of the ore vein, these Rune Steel Life forms needed to be dealt with first.

However, Lin Ye discovered something very strange: some of the Rune Steel Life forms didn't look quite like the common Life forms of White Mist Forest.

It was important to note that Rune Steel Life forms were also based on living organisms, and their external appearance didn't change much, only their color would turn dark silver.

What was going on?

With a head full of questions, Lin Ye returned to the team's encampment.

He relayed the intelligence to his teammates one by one.

"Lin Ye is truly amazing to have scouted the information on these teams in such detail," Zhou Yuke praised.

Lin Ye felt a bit strange, as if he was being praised like a child.

But the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but curve upwards.

"Ahem, it's nothing, just a small trick," Lin Ye waved his hand.

"But what you said about the strangeness of the Rune Steel Life forms is indeed very odd. Could they be monsters from within the ore vein?"

Lin Ye pondered for a moment, then drew the shapes of the Rune Steel Life forms for his teammates to see.

Lin Ye hadn't practiced drawing much and was completely unskilled, but Self-Mastery combined with Muscle Master made him a talented artist.

His teammates looked at the drawings and found them increasingly bizarre.

"Demonic Beasts?" Zhou Yuke exclaimed.

"What? Captain, are you sure they're Demonic Beasts?" The other teammates gathered around.

"Yes, they are Demonic Beasts. Although we humans haven't had contact with hell yet, there are records in the information obtained from the Elf Race," Zhou Yuke's expression turned grim.

Lin Ye naturally understood the seriousness of the problem.

The Star Realm was divided into three layers.

The lowest layer, hell, was inhabited by Demons and Demonic Beasts.

"Lin Ye, did you find many of these Demonic Beasts?"

"Not many, and they are all inside the ore vein."

"Big trouble."

Combining the existing information, everyone thought of a possibility: Demon Invasion.

Countless Demon Invasions had occurred on the Star Realm Continent.

Each time, it resulted in widespread devastation.

"We must report this to the authorities quickly, or something bad will happen sooner or later," Zhou Yuke decided immediately.

The desire to compete for the ore vein vanished into thin air.

Now they just wanted to return quickly.

They had come in a hurry, and now they were returning in a hurry.

Lin Ye's first mission was directly declared a bust.

The husbands of the two team leaders were both Star Level and guarded White Mist City.

So they went to contact the authorities, while the others chose to rest indoors.

"We really owe you this time, otherwise if this Demon Invasion really came, we would still be foolishly staying there, fighting for ownership of the ore vein, and we would have been the scapegoats."

Chu Tianba, who had experienced many storms, still felt lingering fear.

From the information brought by the Elf Race, it was not difficult to see the seriousness of a Demon Invasion.

Fortunately, they had brought Lin Ye this time.

"But it's a bit of a shame that my first mission ended like this," Lin Ye said regretfully.

He had been waiting to earn big money.

He didn't expect to fail before even starting.

"Don't worry, as long as the information is accurate, your boy will surely be rewarded," Chu Tianba patted his shoulder.

The authorities would not be stingy with those who had rendered meritorious service.
