411: Looks like it, very much like it (Updated)

Song Qiuyun? Wait... isn't this...?

Xiao Yun’s eyebrows twitched. Just as he felt the name was somewhat familiar, the scene from the previous match at Crocodile Nest surfaced in his mind.

He remembered that the captain of that team was surnamed Song, and the name Song Qiuyun could be either male or female. It was highly possible that she was the female agent he had tormented in the Crocodile Nest.

“No wonder they were able to counter-kill the Asala Squad they encountered upon landing…”

Xiao Yun’s brows furrowed slightly. Thinking of that team’s performance in the previous Endless Night Dam, he could basically conclude that she was the number one on the Gold-Touching List that He Yan was talking about.

After all, besides being able to lead her team to counter-kill the Asala Squad encountered at the spawn point, she could also react calmly when encountering unknown dangers in the Crocodile Nest. She was clearly not an ordinary GTI Professional Agent.

“Anyway, you now know the importance of breaking records. Remember to rest at noon, and take the upcoming assessments seriously.”

He Yan sighed, speaking earnestly.

“Oh, right, you said before that she not only broke the record for the GTI Professional assessment but also a GTI record, correct?”

Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Yun suddenly recalled He Yan’s previous description.

“In other words, it’s not just by breaking assessment records that one can receive special rewards from GTI.”

“Hmm, it’s just that breaking the record for the entire forbidden zone is very difficult, but breaking assessment records is much simpler.”

“I understand.”

Xiao Yun nodded silently, making a mental note of it.

Originally, he wasn't particularly concerned about breaking records.

However, after He Yan explained the benefits of doing so, Xiao Yun also understood the profound implications.

GTI Headquarters, after all, was a top organization that spanned three worlds.

If it could truly transport Xiao Yun across this space-time to the world behind the forbidden zone, it would definitely be a journey filled with both crisis and opportunity.

“When you go back later, remember to compile a list of all the records that can be broken in this GTI assessment, and send them to me together.”

“Hmm, okay… Hmm? Wait??”

He Yan agreed casually, but when he reacted, he realized that Xiao Yun was practically making an outrageous demand!

He wanted to break all of them!

At this moment, Xiao Yun had already left with his team. He Yan watched his receding figure, filled with emotion.

If it were anyone else, He Yan might have just thought the person was too arrogant.

However, with Xiao Yun, he felt that anything was possible.

“Hahaha, this young man is good, full of vitality.”

Watching Xiao Yun and the others leave, George stroked his thick beard, his eyes filled with appreciation.

He Yan, seeing this, could only break out in a cold sweat.

Because assessment records were not that easy to break!

“Breaking all the assessment records in the forbidden zone… Is that… possible?”

Leaving the pavilion, Xiao Yun led Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing to the entrance of Shuanglong Park, and then the three of them successively got into a taxi.

After getting in the car, Xiao Yun habitually sat in the back seat. He usually sat in this position when taking a taxi, as it was safer.

“Where to?” the driver asked.

“To…”

Just as Xiao Yun was about to answer, Lu Xueqing quickly squeezed in through the right rear door, sitting right next to him.

Xiao Yun was originally sitting in the back seat, slightly to the right, but Lu Xueqing squeezed him to the middle of the back seat, also interrupting his reply to the driver.

“Where to?” the driver asked again.

“Just to that…”

Xiao Yun was about to answer again, but unexpectedly, the left car door also opened with a click.

Liu Shihhan sat in with a cold expression. Although there was plenty of space, she insisted on sitting right next to Xiao Yun.

“Where exactly are you going?!”

“What exactly are you two trying to do?!”

The driver and Xiao Yun almost simultaneously roared, then looked at each other, and the scene instantly quieted down.

“Why are you three squeezing in the back? Isn’t there a front passenger seat?”

“Aren’t there plenty of seats in the front? Why are you squeezing next to me?”

The driver and Xiao Yun almost simultaneously spoke again, expressing their confusion.

However.

After speaking at the same time twice in a row, the two suddenly stared at each other with surprised expressions, even their actions were so similar.

And it was at this moment that Xiao Yun finally got a clear look at the face of the middle-aged taxi driver in front of him.

Isn’t this his family’s convenience store owner, his own father, Xiao Qingtian!

“No, Dad, why are you here?”

The moment he saw that the driver was Xiao Qingtian, Xiao Yun’s heart was instantly filled with doubt.

He just randomly hailed a car by the roadside, how did he end up hailing his dad’s car?

Could it be that his dad was worried about his assessment results and purposely came to Jinghai City to visit him?

That’s not right either!

Even if he secretly came to Jinghai City to visit him, where did this taxi come from?

Besides, this was completely out of his character!

“Get lost, get lost, who’s your dad? Don’t go making wild claims!”

The taxi driver, who looked strikingly similar to Xiao Qingtian, cursed.

“Wait… you do look quite like me… No? Could it be?!”

The taxi driver looked at Xiao Yun, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although this young man in front of him was almost two generations younger, both his handsome appearance and the almost simultaneous exclamations they made when facing the same situation gave the taxi driver a thought that sent shivers down his spine.

He had been quite the ladies’ man in his life, especially when he was young, he would change girlfriends every few days.

Could it be that he had been reckless when he was young and accidentally got someone pregnant?

“No way! I made sure to use protection with every woman!”

“What are you talking about?! Stop rambling!”

Xiao Yun immediately understood his meaning and felt helpless.

After careful observation, although the taxi driver in front of him looked very similar to his father, their temperaments were completely different.

Especially their build, Xiao Qingtian was slender, while this taxi driver was sturdier.

“Uncle, what’s your surname?”

“My surname is Xiao, what about it?”

“Sure enough…”

Hearing the taxi driver’s surname, Xiao Yun immediately sighed.

At this moment, he also recognized the other party’s identity. He remembered that when he was in elementary school, Xiao Qingtian had mentioned that he had an elder brother, but Xiao Yun had never met him.

And now, all signs indicated that this taxi driver was Xiao Qingtian’s biological brother. Perhaps it was fate that brought them together here.

However, what surprised Xiao Yun was that he had originally thought Xiao Qingtian’s biological brother should be in Haibei City, yet he encountered him in Jinghai City.

One must know that Jinghai City and Haibei City were countless levels apart, whether in terms of economy or forbidden zones.

If Jinghai City was considered a super-first-tier city among domestic super-first-tier cities, then Haibei City was at most a fourth or fifth-tier city. Xiao Yun found it hard to imagine encountering him here.

“Wait, could it be that you are… Xiao Qingtian’s son? So that’s it, so that’s it!”

At this moment, the taxi driver also gradually began to react, his expression shifting from confusion to deep shock.

The two people sitting next to Xiao Yun were also somewhat surprised. Liu Shihhan then asked,

“Xiao Yun, he is?”

“If I’m not mistaken, he should be my paternal uncle, but due to various reasons, this is our first time meeting.”

The taxi driver nodded, then introduced himself.

“My name is Xiao Hongshan, and as you can see, I am this kid’s uncle.”

“Qingtian to Hongshan? Xiao Yun, your grandparents are quite cultured, aren’t they?”

Lu Xueqing praised their names.

“Speaking of which, I really didn’t expect to meet you here. Shouldn’t you be preparing for the college entrance exam right now? What are you doing in Jinghai City?”

“Participating in the GTI Professional assessment, and also checking out the forbidden zone here.”

Xiao Yun replied indifferently.

“Oh, I see… Wait, what did you say?!”

Hearing Xiao Yun’s words, Xiao Hongshan suddenly turned sharply, staring at Xiao Yun in disbelief.

“You’re here to participate in the GTI Professional assessment?”

Xiao Yun nodded silently.

“Damn, you just turned eighteen not long ago, didn’t you?”

“What, can’t I?”

Looking at Xiao Hongshan’s somewhat shocked expression, Xiao Yun smiled faintly and replied.

This guy, even his cursing was exactly like Xiao Qingtian’s. The two of them were like they were carved from the same mold, no wonder they said they were biological brothers.

“This kind of talent… Well, after all, you’re Xiao Qingtian’s son, but did he not object to you coming to participate in the GTI assessment?”

“No, he probably doesn’t even know I’m here for the assessment.”

Xiao Yun sighed softly, thinking of Xiao Qingtian’s personality, who only knew how to go fishing and have barbecues all day, and didn’t care about family matters.

Even though it was already the second day since he came to Jinghai City to participate in the GTI assessment, Xiao Qingtian probably hadn’t even noticed that he wasn’t home yet.

“How could he not know you’re here for the GTI assessment? Never mind, let’s not talk so much. Where are you going?”

Xiao Hongshan was about to ask about the situation, but at this moment, a car came from behind. Seeing him stop the car and block the road, it started honking frantically.

So he also turned his head, placed his hands on the steering wheel, and asked the three again.

“You’ve finally met, why don’t we find a place to eat and chat while we eat?”

Liu Shihhan suggested.

“Good idea, it’s almost lunchtime anyway.”

Lu Xueqing echoed, already thinking about what to eat for lunch today.

However.

Xiao Hongshan in the driver’s seat shook his head, directly refusing.

“No need, if you want to eat, I know a restaurant with good food. I’ll take you there.”

“Are you really not going to eat with us and chat?”

“Hmm.”

Facing Xiao Yun’s question, Xiao Hongshan also refused without hesitation.

What Xiao Yun didn’t see at this moment was that Xiao Hongshan’s expression was somewhat melancholic, his eyes drifting, seemingly preoccupied.

“You’re here.”

At 3:10 PM, Xiao Yun brought Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing back to Shuanglong Park.

As soon as they arrived at the forbidden zone entrance, they saw a group of examiners already gathered there, and He Yan waved at them.

“Didn’t we agree that the assessment location would change this afternoon?”

“Logically, yes, but according to Mr. George, the assessment forbidden zone needs to be applied for one day in advance, and today’s two matches have already been applied for this newly appeared Endless Night Dam forbidden zone, so it can only be this way.”

He Yan sighed, explaining.

“But this should be good news for you.”

“Good news, that’s absolutely great news!”

Hearing this news, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

He had thought that he wouldn’t have another chance to enter this Zero Dam (Eternal Night) before completing the assessment.

He didn’t expect to have another match opportunity now!

And for this hard-won opportunity, Xiao Yun also had a different idea.

Because among the teams of agents lining up at the forbidden zone entrance to participate in this match, it seemed they had also heard about the strength of the soldiers in Endless Night Dam. Almost everyone was starting with five sets of gear, and there was even one team wearing six sets.

Given this, it would be almost impossible to clear out the entire Dam No. 0 in this match like before, unless they engaged in combat with other teams. Otherwise, based on the equipment of others in this match, they would likely be able to occupy high-value resource areas like the Cement Factory and Substation.

And in this way, Xiao Yun’s target location for this match would be only one.

Administrative District!

Immediately attack the Administrative Building at the start, take down all the Seyid and Asala Soldiers inside, and secure the most valuable six-set resources in the entire Endless Night Dam first.

And most importantly, take Said’s mask and weapon.

This way, when others have searched the various resource areas and are ready to pull the lever to evacuate, Xiao Yun can directly cosplay Said and block the gate, killing anyone who comes.

Others have already helped search, why search yourself?

And regarding having Said’s set in the match, there’s no need to worry about being discovered, and it’s the same outside the match.

After all, just now, He Yan had already sent Xiao Yun the highest records that could be achieved during the entire assessment phase, and the number of kills was one of the important records.

Currently, the highest record for the GTI Professional assessment is 126 total kills for regular soldiers, 35 for elite units, and 4 BOSS kills.

These are records from ten matches. Based on Xiao Yun’s current data, if he specifically worked on it, he could refresh these records tomorrow or the day after.

As for the data records for killing agents, there are two: killing 10 agents in a single match, and a total of 79 agents killed.

This became a challenge for Xiao Yun.

Because in all the assessment forbidden zones, the number of agents is the same: 6 teams per match, a total of 15 people excluding himself.

And in the first three assessments combined, Xiao Yun had only killed two teams of agents. Song Qiuyun’s team in the last match even committed suicide.

In other words, in the remaining 7 assessment matches, Xiao Yun would have to kill an average of 11 agents per match to have a chance of breaking this record.

“Get ready. Are you still going in without equipment this time?”

He Yan asked without much hope, but Xiao Yun’s answer was beyond his expectation.

“No, give me the best equipment this time.”

“You have entered Zero Dam (Eternal Night)!”
