21: Mission accomplished

“What do you mean?”

At Captain Wang's reminder, Xiao Yun's mind also began to race, and he simultaneously thought of some possibilities.

Li Wenzhe might retaliate; there was indeed that possibility, but it was unlikely he would.

Firstly, when they killed them, they hadn't clearly seen Xiao Yun and Lu Xueqing's faces.

Secondly, everything in the Restricted Zone world was random.

Spawn points were random, and routes were random.

So even if he intended to retaliate, it would be difficult for him to find an opportunity.

“Looking at his equipment, and he even brought two foreigners as escorts, his family's conditions are definitely beyond what you and I can match,” Captain Wang said very seriously, pointing at Xiao Yun’s school uniform.

“Especially since you two are from the same school.”

“The other party is very likely to use some connections to confirm that you two did this.”

“Then they'll try to find a way to retaliate.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun frowned.

As a mature middle-aged man, Captain Wang's considerations were indeed very realistic.

With Li Wenzhe's family background, it wouldn't be difficult for him to retrieve surveillance footage from around Nine Warehouse.

As long as they saw him go in naked and come out wearing full gear, they could directly confirm the target.

If it were within the Restricted Zone, Xiao Yun wouldn't be afraid of their retaliation.

After all, he had a hundred-slot Safe Box, so even if they killed him, he wouldn't lose anything.

But if the other party didn't play by the rules and took action in reality, Xiao Yun would have to be on guard and careful at all times.

“Thank you for your reminder, Captain Wang,” Xiao Yun thanked him sincerely.

Without his reminder, he might not have thought of these things.

“Oh, just call me Wang Qiang,” Captain Wang said with a faint smile, patting Xiao Yun's shoulder.

“To be able to successfully extract from the Restricted Zone at such a young age, and to extract with so much equipment, you two are truly promising young people.”

“When I was your age, I didn't even dare to enter the Restricted Zone; I only made up my mind later when I was truly out of money.”

Wang Qiang said, his expression a little melancholic.

If it weren't for the pressures of life, he might never have come into contact with the Restricted Zone in his entire life.

Although there were high returns, the risks were even higher.

For example, in the last match, he directly lost hundreds of thousands of assets.

“Uncle Wang, we're going to the Exchange to process our supplies first.”

After a brief chat, Xiao Yun left with Lu Xueqing.

Although Wang Qiang was a good person, now was not the time for idle chatter.

He wanted to see how much profit this extraction had actually brought in!

...

Ding! Current mission completed!

Reward obtained: Random Safe Box experience card x1!

Mission obtained: Successfully extract from the Restricted Zone once, with a total value reaching 100,000!

When Xiao Yun arrived at the Exchange in Eight Warehouse and found a seat, the system prompt suddenly sounded.

“If it weren't for the system's reminder, I would have almost forgotten about the mission!” Xiao Yun thought to himself.

Actually, when he entered the Restricted Zone this time, he hadn't intended to do missions.

He just wanted to quickly earn more money to buy the SS-grade skill in the mall.

Taking advantage of having the 100-slot Safe Box, he wanted to quickly try out the Fortune Star Bond's skill package to see if it could increase his drop rate in matches, as he had hoped.

His original plan was to open all the full-map Safes and computers, and by the way, see if he could open the building manager's office.

But he didn't expect to encounter such a good opportunity, ambushing Li Wenzhe's team, and also coincidentally completing the mission.

“Master, the Exchange seems to be empty right now!” Lu Xueqing ran over, excitedly reporting.

“We should be able to get in very quickly.”

Xiao Yun turned his head and saw that there was indeed no one queuing at the Exchange.

This was probably due to the high difficulty of the Dam No. 0 in the previous round, which resulted in most people being unable to extract.

“By the way, is Dam No. 0 the only map for the Restricted Zone here at Nine Warehouse?” Xiao Yun suddenly asked.

“Mm-hmm, each Restricted Zone entrance corresponds to a different Restricted Zone. The entrance here at Haibei North Port’s Nine Warehouse leads to Dam No. 0.”

“Aside from that, even if it's the same Dam No. 0 map, each entrance leads to a different Restricted Zone.”

“For example, the Restricted Zone entrance in Tiannan Mountain leads to another Dam No. 0,” Lu Xueqing patiently explained.

As he listened to these words, some memories about this world also surfaced in Xiao Yun's mind.

Just as Lu Xueqing said, Restricted Zone entrances were scattered all over the world, and each entrance led to a different match.

Therefore, even if it was the same Dam No. 0 on normal difficulty, there were distinctions between high-difficulty and low-difficulty areas based on the region.

Generally speaking, provincial capitals with dense populations had more difficult Restricted Zones.

And some peripheral cities, towns, rural areas, including some wild Restricted Zones, had lower difficulty.

However, lower difficulty was not always better.

The overall difficulty of the Restricted Zone was often related to the drop rate of the match.

Matches with higher difficulty often had higher drop rates.

In Dragon Country, the Restricted Zone with the highest difficulty and drop rate was the one in the capital, Jinghai City.

There, experts gathered, and ordinary people had to draw lots to enter the Restricted Zone.

Only Diamond Level and above GTI had the privilege of bypassing the queue.

“It seems that the Operative rank in this world is very important,” Xiao Yun thought to himself.

Operative rank was a grading system officially certified by the GTI organization.

Unlike games in his previous life, in the Delta game, the best way to raise one's rank was to kill players.

As long as one was aggressive in the game, killing at least one person per round, it was easy to rise to the Black Hawk rank.

However, in this world, the ranking system was somewhat different.

As a global organization, GTI did not encourage its members to kill each other.

It only used assessments, determining the rank level based on the value of the supplies brought out during extraction.

The specific standards changed every year.

But based on what people in this world understood about the Restricted Zone, Xiao Yun felt that with his strength, reaching Diamond Level would be easy.

“It seems that to get rich, I still have to go to big cities,” Xiao Yun sighed silently.

“Big cities have more opportunities, small counties have fewer opportunities, and rural areas have no opportunities.”

“I didn't expect that even in this world where everyone is running knives, reality is still so realistic.”

“However, fortunately, in this world, I have strength and opportunities...”

“Hmm? You two are also students from Haicheng No. 1 High School?”

Just as Xiao Yun was lost in thought, a clear, cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

Xiao Yun found the voice unfamiliar, at least not someone he knew.

However, Lu Xueqing beside him was a little excited.

“Shihan! You came to run knives too?”

“Yes, after all, I have to compete for the recommendation qualification,” Liu Shihhan sat opposite the two, her gaze sweeping up and down Xiao Yun.

She wasn't wearing a school uniform today; she was wearing a white knitted sweater on top, and a khaki skirt paired with matching over-the-knee socks on the bottom, a very trendy outfit.

And seeing her long curly hair, some information instantly flashed through Xiao Yun's mind.

Liu Shihhan, isn't that the school beauty of Haicheng No. 1 High School?

As a student from the same school, Xiao Yun often saw her at school, but this was his first time sitting face to face with her, in close proximity.

This girl had an outstanding aura from afar, and up close, she was even more pleasing to the eye; she truly deserved the title of school beauty.

However, what Xiao Yun didn't expect was that after only two glances at him, a strange smile appeared on her face.

“Are you two on a date?” Liu Shihhan narrowed her eyes, smiling, as if she had seen through some secret.
