137: Chapter 137 Where to Take Off?

Compared to the blood-stained and tattered Greedy Wolf Team, the four members of Chen Xi looked as if they had just returned from an outing.

Their clothes were clean and tidy, and their hairstyles were undisturbed.

This scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Jin Tong's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Chen Xi.

"Didn't these people accept a C-Rank Mission?"

"They're back already?"

His companion, Zhao Gang, added:

"Did they find it too difficult and cancel it to come back and pick a new one?"

Jin Tong hoped that was the case deep down.

But looking at the mental state of Chen Xi and his group, he felt that things were not that simple.

At the same time.

Commander Sun also turned his head, looking at the unscathed Chen Xi, his brows furrowed slightly.

He also didn't believe Chen Xi could complete the mission.

He knew the difficulty of a C-Rank Mission best; even his own regular army squad couldn't complete the clearing in just one day without any combat losses.

"Chen Xi."

Commander Sun asked in a deep voice:

"What's going on? If you gave up because you felt the difficulty was too high, just say so. I've said before, there's no shame in knowing when to quit; just come back and pick an E-Rank Mission to start over."

The hall was quiet, and everyone was waiting to see Chen Xi make a fool of himself.

Was that C-Rank Mission, which had been so arrogant the day before, just a joke after all?

Chen Xi ignored Jin Tong's sarcasm and didn't care about the gazes of the people around him.

He walked straight to the mission counter, right in front of Commander Sun.

"Commander Sun, we are here to submit our mission."

Chen Xi's voice was as calm as water, without a ripple.

"Submit the mission?"

Commander Sun was stunned:

"Submit what mission? Abandoning the mission?"

"No."

Chen Xi shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a row of white teeth:

"It is to complete the mission."

After speaking, he raised his wrist and, under the gaze of dozens of eyes in the hall, placed his wristband on the mission settlement terminal.

"Beep —"

A crisp electronic sound resonated throughout the hall.

Immediately following, on the huge mission display screen in the center of the hall, the red C-Rank Mission that had been pinned at the top instantly turned green, representing completion!

【Notice: C-Rank Mission "Clean up Black Swamp Forest" has been submitted!】

【Execution Team: Nirvana Battle Team (Jiangcheng)】

【Reward military merit points: 100 points (already received)】

Dead silence.

Again, a deathly silence.

The smile on Jin Tong's face froze, his mouth agape enough to fit a lightbulb. He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the words on the screen.

"Really... completed?!"

"How is this possible?!"

Mo Lang screamed out loud:

"That was a Third-Tier Fierce Beast!"

Commander Sun was also completely dumbfounded.

He grabbed Chen Xi's wristband.

On the wristband, the four large characters for mission completion were clearly visible.

There was no possibility of cheating.

Commander Sun looked up sharply, staring at Chen Xi as if he were a monster, and then looked at the three calm female team members behind him.

"You... you guys..."

At this moment, the faces of the Greedy Wolf Team instantly became dim and lusterless.

The atmosphere in the military hall was somewhat subtle.

Commander Sun looked at the mission list in his hand, took a deep breath, and calmed his shocked mood.

After all, he was a commander who had seen great storms, and he quickly adjusted his state. The look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Xi had less scrutiny and more appreciation.

"Alright."

Commander Sun waved his hand and said to Chen Xi:

"Since you have this strength, I won't say anything more. The following time is yours to arrange. Whether you continue to accept missions or rest at the base, I won't interfere. However..."

Commander Sun paused and looked at Chen Xi meaningfully:

"Don't get too carried away; Outside the Border is much more dangerous than you think."

"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Commander Sun."

Chen Xi nodded faintly, didn't linger, and took the three women who had been waiting impatiently to the other side of the hall — the location of the 【Military Supplies Exchange Mall】.

Standing in front of the high-tech exchange terminal, Chen Xi didn't hesitate and logged directly into the public account of the Nirvana Battle Team.

Account balance: 130 points.

"Captain Chen, what are we exchanging for?"

Li Murou leaned over, drooling at the dazzling list of goods.

"Those are not urgent."

Chen Xi's fingers slid quickly across the screen, locking directly onto the 【Special Materials Area】, and then entered the name he had been thinking about.

【Search: stone of origin】

The screen flickered, and the only search result popped up.

【Item: stone of origin】

【Grade: S-Rank】

【Description: A mysterious ore containing the power of the world's origin, the cornerstone of all things recovering and evolving.】

【Exchange price: 100 military merit points】

Looking at the price, Ye Fei's heart skipped a beat.

100 points!

That was their entire net worth, earned after fighting tooth and nail and getting an S-Rank evaluation!

In school, this was equivalent to ten thousand points!

"Exchange."

Chen Xi didn't feel a shred of heartache and decisively pressed the confirm button.

"Beep — Exchange successful! Deducted 100 military merit points. Please collect your item from the delivery port."

As the mechanical voice faded, an exquisite metal box slid out from the delivery port below.

Chen Xi picked up the box, turned around, and handed it to the completely stunned Ye Fei, with a gentle smile on his face:

"Take it."

"This... what is this?"

Ye Fei held the box, her hands shaking.

"Your advancement material."

Chen Xi said lightly:

"Plus that drop of 【beast kings blood】 that Ji Qing and the others gave, the materials are complete."

"Let's go, back to the villa. Tonight, let us witness the birth of a true Beast Tamer queen."

...

Back at Villa No. 8.

Su Xiaoxiao and Li Murou were very sensible and stayed on the first floor.

Leaving a spacious room on the second floor for Chen Xi and Ye Fei.

In the room, Ye Fei sat on a chair somewhat awkwardly, her fiery red long hair hanging over her chest, her eyes both expectant and nervous.

"Relax, it won't hurt."

Chen Xi took out the card-making pen and placed the 【beast kings blood】 and 【stone of origin】 on the table.

As his spiritual power was injected, the talent skill 【Miracle Creation】 was instantly activated.

The two S-Rank materials hovered in the air, melted, and turned into two pure energy streams, one red and one white, tangling and intertwining at Chen Xi's fingertips.

Eventually, they converged into a gold-rimmed card exuding an ancient, wild aura.

【class core card · Beast Tamer】

"Alright."

Chen Xi took the card and walked to Ye Fei:

"Next is the fusion step. You need to implant this card into your body as a new energy hub."

Hearing this, Ye Fei's face turned red in a "whoosh."

She had heard Li Murou gossip before.

Li Murou's core card was in her heart, and Su Xiaoxiao's was in her dantian.

These two positions... were too private for a girl.

Ye Fei closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, looking like someone resigned to their fate, gritting her teeth and saying:

"Cap... Captain, come on! I'm ready! Undress... undress where?"
