114: Chapter 114, Bureau 749's Mission List! Starting at S-Rank?

Early the next morning.

When the first rays of sunlight spilled into Locust Tree Alley 44, Su Yang was already sitting by the stone table, holding a tablet that had just been delivered by the 749 Bureau, drinking spiritual rice porridge while browsing the task list as if he were shopping on Taobao.

Tsk tsk, the 749 Bureau has certainly accumulated quite a mess.

Su Yang scrolled through the screen, his eyes gleaming with the luster of money.

[Task Number: A-098]

[Location: Xiangxi · Fengmen Village]

[Description: The entire village's population evaporated overnight; no one who entered survived. Suspected to be the work of a Thousand-Year Corpse King.]

[Reward: 5 million in cash, 800 bureau contribution points.]

Five million? Too little, not taking it.

Su Yang pursed his lips and swiped past it.

He had very high standards now.

[Task Number: A-102]

[Location: Magic City · No. 44 Last Bus]

[Description: Every rainy night, a non-existent bus appears, and those who board have their souls sucked dry.]

[Reward: 3 million in cash, 500 bureau contribution points.]

Boring, what's fun about a bus?

Swiped away.

Zhang Daoxuan, sitting across from him, had his face twitching.

He had been called over by a phone call from Su Yang early in the morning; he originally thought the kid had finally come to his senses and wanted to serve the country, but this guy was treating the 749 Bureau like a task bulletin board!

And he was being picky, too!

Consultant Su... Zhang Daoxuan wiped his sweat, These A-Rank tasks aren't actually simple; many of the bureau's elites have fallen in them...

A-Rank is a waste of time.

Su Yang said without even lifting his head.

What I need is the kind of task that... not only pays well but also gives a lot of points, and preferably allows me to snag some Heaven And Earth Treasure along the way.

Are there any S-Rank ones? Or even more Advanced ones?

S-Rank...

Zhang Daoxuan hesitated, then pulled a red, classified folder from his briefcase.

There are, but these tasks are classified as 'Top Secret.' The danger level is extremely high; one could even say... it's suicide.

Suicide?

Su Yang's eyes lit up, and he snatched the folder.

I love that kind of excitement.

Opening the folder, the first page made him raise an eyebrow.

[Task Number: S-001]

[Codename: Qinling · Ancient Earth Core Tree]

[Location: Deep in the Qinling Mountains, no-man's-land]

[Description: Recently, earthquakes in the Qinling Mountains have been frequent. Satellites detected a giant plant growing from underground, causing all living things within a hundred miles to mutate. Suspected to be an ancient demon plant awakening.]

[Danger Rank: S+]

[Reward: 50 million in cash, 5000 bureau contribution points, one special resource allocation right.]

[Note: The Spiritual Qi in this area is extremely dense; a wood spirit pearl is suspected to have appeared.]

A wood spirit pearl!

Su Yang's breathing hitched slightly.

The Five Elements spirit pearls!

Those were treasures of heaven and earth, even more precious than demon cores!

If he could obtain the wood spirit pearl, it would not only allow his Soul-Devouring Black Demon Flower to evolve again.

It could even allow him to set up the legendary Yi Wood Eternal Array in his courtyard!

At that point, even without specially Cultivating, he would gain cultivation just by sleeping in the yard!

I'll take this one!

Su Yang decided without hesitation.

Are there any more?

There... there are more? Zhang Daoxuan was dumbfounded, Consultant Su, this is an S+ Rank task! The two special ability teams sent there previously were wiped out...

That's because they were weak.

Su Yang flipped to the second page.

[Task Number: S-003]

[Codename: Mobei · Loulan Enchantress]

[Location: Hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert]

[Description: The Loulan Ancient City, which disappeared for a thousand years, has reappeared, accompanied by eerie camel bell sounds. Anyone who approaches will have their essence and blood sucked dry, turning into a mummified Puppet.]

[Danger Rank: S]

[Reward: 30 million in cash, 3000 bureau contribution points, priority selection rights for the Loulan Treasury.]

Mummified Puppet? Sucking essence and blood?

Su Yang looked back at Mary, who was combing Chu Ling's hair.

Mary, do you want to go on a trip to the desert? I heard the mummies there are quite chewy.

No! The UV rays in the desert are too strong, I'll get tanned! Mary protested.

Then what if I said that the legendary Fountain of Youth might be hidden in that Loulan Ancient City?

I'm going! I'm going! I want to go too!

Before Mary could speak, Reba and Ye Yuqing nearby had already raised their hands to sign up.

Fountain of Youth? Can it really stop you from aging?

Women...

Su Yang shook his head and checked the task list.

I'll take this one too.

He flipped through a few more pages and took five S-Rank tasks in one breath, leaving Zhang Daoxuan terrified.

Con... Consultant Su, are you trying to farm the leaderboard?

Farm the leaderboard? No.

Su Yang closed the folder, his eyes flashing with confident light.

I'm... restocking.

Alright, Elder Zhang, you can go back and report.

Send me the data for these five tasks. Also, transfer that 50 million deposit first; I need to upgrade my team.

Deposit? Zhang Daoxuan's mouth twitched, We don't have that rule in the bureau...

Now you do.

Su Yang pointed to the Black Demon Flower in the center of the courtyard, then to the Pixiu sunning itself on the roof, and finally to himself.

Because I am Su Yang.

I am your only lifeline.

Intimidated by Su Yang's powerful aura, Zhang Daoxuan finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

After sending Zhang Daoxuan away, Su Yang took the heavy task list and turned to look at everyone in the courtyard.

Alright, ladies.

The vacation is over.

Next, we are going to start... a global robbery tour!

First stop: Qinling!

Target: wood spirit pearl!

Let's go!
