605: New tasks are coming!

"The newcomer needs to put in some effort!" Yi Xin joked in the group chat, smiling as he said to Ye Zian, "If you don't work hard, how will you earn source points? Without source points, how can you buy our Cultivation Techniques! And if you don't buy them, how can we earn!"

"Hahaha! Definitely, definitely! I'll strive to do my best!" Ye Zian had become somewhat familiar with everyone over the past few days. Seeing Yi Xin say this, he quickly replied.

"The newcomer really does need to work hard! However, your world's Rank is not low, so it's likely very dangerous. You need to grow stronger quickly," Lin Zifeng chimed in, speaking to Ye Zian.

"I will work hard!" Ye Zian said diligently, happily accepting the teachings from his Seniors.

"Anyway, if you need any help, just call for people in the group. We're all in the same group, so that makes us our own people!" Yi Xin said to Ye Zian.

"Okay! Thank you, Big Shot Yi Xin! Thank you, Big Shot Lin Zifeng!" Ye Zian said immediately, although others didn't say much.

But Ye Zian knew they were likely much like these two chatty Big Shots.

From time to time, someone in the group would start a live stream, and he would silently lurk and watch.

The worlds of the Big Shots, or perhaps their combat prowess... were truly fascinating.

They were so fierce! Nothing like him; by comparison, his own efforts were really just child's play.

Especially that "Ono World" for earning source points.

It was displayed on his end too, but unfortunately, he had asked in the group, and while everyone didn't mind him going, they said he needed at least Rank 3 combat power to have basic self-preservation capabilities there.

Otherwise, it would be easy to die suddenly.

After all, they were group members now; even if progress was slow, at least it was steady improvement, and there was no need to take such a huge risk.

Especially since Ye Zian still only had Rank 0 combat power.

With this combat power, there was no one left in the group who was still Rank 0!

Even Chen Mu from Lan Star, the weakest in the group, was no longer Rank 0 but Rank 1 combat power.

It had to be said, Ye Zian's joining filled the gap of having no Rank 0 combat power in the group, and at the same time, it provided a safety net for Chen Mu.

"Ye Zian, is there anything fun in your world?" Aili asked.

As the biggest loafer in the group, she was quite curious about Ye Zian's world.

"Uh... I don't think there's anything fun..." Ye Zian scratched his head, not quite knowing how to say it: "I remember I did a live stream once, and looking at everyone's worlds, in terms of entertainment, the most fun one should be Big Shot Chen Mu's world, right?"

"Eh? Am I also a Big Shot now!" Chen Mu popped up. As a native of Lan Star who couldn't do much else but was number one at spamming the group chat, he basically always kept an eye on the group.

Having always been at the bottom of the group, had he finally been called a Big Shot one day!

Although he felt he really couldn't handle it, especially given that there weren't many people in the group, yet there were so many Big Shots.

"No, no, no, you'd better not call me a Big Shot; I can't quite handle that. You can just call me Chen Mu," Chen Mu quickly said to Ye Zian.

Honestly, it was a bit embarrassing; sigh, he still had some shame.

"No, no, no, as a newcomer, to me, you all are Big Shots!" Ye Zian quickly said. His main strategy was simply to be humble!

Besides, he was still Rank 0 combat power until now.

Although Chen Mu was Rank 1, Ye Zian knew that the gap in combat power Rank in the group was outrageous.

Don't look at the 0-1 jump as if it weren't far... Ye Zian looked at the basic rules for Rank division... He immediately felt that Rank 1 combat power would also crush him, and most importantly, the gap between Rank 1 and Rank 2 was also very large.

You could say it like this: 100 is Rank 1 combat power, but 999 is also Rank 1 combat power.

His highest stat panel was only 16, a complete nobody... he was still an extremely long way from Rank 1.

"Hahaha! Good, good, the newcomer is really very humble, I think highly of you! How about this: in the future, if you want to show off, come ask me anytime, I'll teach you! I may be weak, but when it comes to showing off, I know a thing or two." Chen Mu started chatting with Ye Zian.

His main trait was being weak, but having a lot of talk.

Ye Zian chatted away happily in the group.

Slowly, he also became familiar with some people.

The enthusiastic Seniors: Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng.

The elusive Administrator - the big sister Clarissa.

The chatty and lively Chen Mu.

The curious, idle Aili who only thought about playing.

The Cultivation resource supplier + master chef - Tang Mo.

The cute one - Miya-pasu.

The imposing Emperor - Zhu Wenyan.

The others basically didn't talk much, just the type to occasionally pop up.

Their attitude toward Ye Zian was basically just that of fellow group members.

Nothing much else.

Still need to let feelings grow over time~ Come on! Ye Zian!

Ye Zian knew deeply that there are no permanent friends! Only permanent interests!

Although the Big Shots said they were all in one group and should help each other, he himself wouldn't naively believe that just like that.

If you want help, you must inevitably pay something.

Give and take, that's just how the world works.

Ye Zian closed the group chat and continued to diligently Cultivate.

He didn't know when the next mission would arrive.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long.

Three days later.

Ye Zian received a mission.

"Ye Zian, a mission has arrived, roughly the same level as the one you did last time. This time, you have to do it yourself," Thrace said to Ye Zian.

"Mm-hmm! Okay!" Ye Zian nodded and let out a deep breath.

Was it finally time for him to go on a mission himself!

"Mm, because there is another mission at the same time, Lily has to drive with me, so you should drive yourself to the mission location. I'll send you all the data. For the car, go find Gu Yu and pick one yourself," Thrace said to Ye Zian: "Cars and such are considered work equipment for the office, so there's no charge. Of course, you have to pay for the fuel. As for reimbursement in case of incidents, it depends on the situation; it's basically covered by the office, or it's a 50/50 split."

"Mm-hmm! Okay!" Ye Zian nodded after listening to what Thrace said.

"Alright, I'm leaving first," Thrace said with a nod, then turned and left with Lily.

"I've sent the data to you," Lily said, raising the phone in her hand and shaking it at Ye Zian.

"Okay! Thank you, Sister Lily!" Ye Zian nodded, then watched Lily and Thrace leave. Soon, an off-road vehicle that looked like an armored car drove out.

Ye Zian took out his phone to look at the data for this mission, then checked the location. Mm, it even had navigation.

Afterward, he went to find Gu Yu.

"Take a look yourself, and tell me which one you like." Gu Yu brought Ye Zian to the garage.

There were all kinds of cars.

But more than half were off-road vehicles, and they had all been modified, looking very imposing; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them armored cars.

There were coupes and such too, just no sports cars.

But thinking about it, it made sense; why would there be sports cars, which are just for showing off? Especially since sports cars basically only seat two people.
