99: Difficulty in making a choice (Happy New Year to everyone!)

“Jiang Kexin?”

Xiao Yun was somewhat surprised to see her appear.

From his perspective, this person appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and he hadn't expected her to seek him out proactively.

However, just as he was about to ask something, she was quick-witted and, taking advantage of Xiao Yun’s slightly open mouth, directly shoved a greenish lollipop into his mouth.

A strong mint flavor surged on his tongue, and Xiao Yun immediately raised an eyebrow.

It actually tasted quite good?

“I know you want to ask me questions,” Jiang Kexin said with a smile.

“But everything has a price; don’t think you can get this information for free.”

“What do you want me to do?”

Xiao Yun now generally understood her personality.

However, it was precisely because of this understanding that he became even more wary of Jiang Kexin.

“I heard you received a recommendation for Qingbei University.”

“Why bring that up suddenly?”

“Don’t you think that Haibei City, this place, its challenges are a bit too easy for you?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun immediately fell into thought.

Indeed, given his current situation, the drop rate in Haibei City’s restricted zones no longer satisfied him.

Although he had extracted millions in his last few runs, one run required him to consume three to five sets of full gear, and another only yielded a supercomputing unit.

Other than that, most of his income came from his SS-rank skills.

Very few materials truly came from the restricted zones; even if Xiao Yun searched half the map, he would only get a maximum of one million.

If he could enter higher-difficulty classified maps for knife runs, the profits would be even more substantial.

“So, what do you want to do?”

“Come with me to Lighthouse Country,” Jiang Kexin said.

The restricted zones in Lighthouse Country were relatively free; even tourists could enter high-difficulty restricted zones.

And because of this, there were more Agents there, competition was fiercer, and the drop rates were higher.

Xiao Yun knew this, but he had never really considered it before Jiang Kexin brought it up.

“But don’t you need to apply for a visa and such to go abroad?”

“I’ll handle it for you.”

Xiao Yun lowered his head in thought.

There were still two months until the college entrance examination.

And after those two months of exams, there would be another two months until university started.

If he could do knife runs in Lighthouse Country’s top-secret restricted zones during these four months, it would be a good option.

It’s just that…

“Then, if I find high-value red-tier items, how should I deal with them?”

“Anyway, it’ll be more profitable than in the country,” Jiang Kexin clearly understood the meaning behind Xiao Yun’s words but did not answer directly.

“Let me think about it.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kexin seemed to have expected it.

Without another word, she turned and left directly.

“She really doesn’t waste words,” Xiao Yun sighed.

This Jiang Kexin came and went quickly.

However, her suggestion was worth considering.

After all, Haibei City’s scenic areas did not have the Baksh and Aerospace Base maps.

If he found red-quality items in Lighthouse Country, he could just put them all in his safe box and deal with them after returning to the country.

He wouldn’t be afraid of being detected during security checks anyway, as the safe box could be stored in the system backpack.

“Hey, why are you still here?”

And at this moment.

Xu Zichuan and the other two also successfully extracted and appeared behind Xiao Yun.

Seeing Xiao Yun, they instantly recognized him.

“Kid, did you enter the game last round? I didn’t see you.”

“You have the strength to kill a team in full gear, why don’t you come to the restricted zone and meet us? Maybe you could beat a full-gear team back again?”

The two teased him.

And Xiao Yun, knowing they were GTI Professional Agents, naturally knew they were teasing him.

Are you kidding? If he encountered them, he would be instantly killed without using skills, okay!

Even with their teamwork and reaction speed, if he didn’t wear good equipment, he might not even be able to use his skills.

“You two big brothers are joking; how could I have that ability?”

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Yun’s forehead.

He had seen their teamwork.

That wave of coordinated clearing at Queen Hotel was as precise as an army.

And listening to their conversation last round, the three of them seemed to have only known each other for a short time and were temporarily teamed up, which was the most terrifying thing.

“You guys chat, I’m heading back to headquarters first.”

At this point, Xu Zichuan also left early.

“Hey, my name is Chen Erhu, and he’s Huang Kun, what’s your name?”

“Xiao Yun…”

“Xiao Yun, what a nice name! Oh, I wish I had such a handsome name too!”

Seeing the other party reveal his name, Xiao Yun also answered honestly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Erhu directly pulled out his phone and started searching on the GTI software.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun immediately raised an eyebrow.

Good heavens, this guy has a trick!

“Oh my god! Platinum Level! Kid, are you that strong?”

“Let me see?”

Seeing Xiao Yun’s GTI panel, Chen Erhu was also very surprised.

And Huang Kun, next to him, quickly leaned over.

“Damn! Twenty runs, 10 million! An average of 500,000 per run, are you even human!”

“Oh my god, you’re really good!”

“Damn! 100% extraction rate? You extract every single time!”

“66666, this is even better!”

Seeing the two check his information, Xiao Yun also returned the favor and looked at their information.

“Name: Chen Erhu

Affiliation: GTI Official

Total Matches: 482

Extraction Rate: 40.87%

Value Extracted: 69429.34 k

Match History: Hidden

Rank: Black Eagle 5”

“Name: Huang Kun

Affiliation: GTI Official

Total Matches: 385

Extraction Rate: 45.97%

Value Extracted: 56640.87 k

Match History: Hidden

Rank: Black Eagle 5”

Seeing their information, Xiao Yun immediately raised an eyebrow.

Both of them were Black Eagle 5 rank, and their affiliation was directly listed as GTI Official.

The value they extracted from the restricted zones was as high as fifty to sixty million, making them elites among Agents.

“You should know our identities now, right? How about it, have you considered joining GTI?”

Seeing that Xiao Yun had checked his information, Chen Erhu no longer hid anything.

He put an arm around Xiao Yun’s shoulder and spoke enthusiastically.

Xiao Yun could feel the other party’s strong biceps; this person’s physical fitness was definitely military-grade.

“With your strength, reaching Black Eagle will probably only take a week, then we can enter maps together.”

“That’s right, we two are currently looking for a fixed teammate,” Huang Kun also said.

“Then Xu… what about Dragon?”

“Oh, his rank is much higher than ours; he just brought us to complete a mission this time.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun also nodded silently.

However, at this moment, he was somewhat conflicted.

Why were there suddenly so many choices?

If he joined GTI Official, he might be able to get some useful information.

Especially the special restricted zones, Xiao Yun was also very curious about them.

And what Jiang Kexin suggested, going to Lighthouse Country for knife runs, was also a good option.

“Let me think about it,” Xiao Yun waved his hand, as he was not very familiar with either side right now.

“By the way, are you going into Longbow Creek Valley next round?” Chen Erhu asked.

Xiao Yun nodded silently, but the other party became even more excited.

“How about this, next round, the two of us will escort you for free.”

“Right, Xu Zichuan went back to handle some business, and with your strength, you might even be able to show off a bit.”

Upon hearing their words, Xiao Yun also raised an eyebrow.

Free escort?

There’s such a good thing?
