After leaving the duel arena and meeting Luo Xi, the two walked towards a high-rise office building.
"What are we going to do?" Chu Ling asked doubtfully.
Luo Xi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I just received the message and wanted to take you to the conference hall with me."
Chu Ling nodded when he heard this, and followed Luo Xi to the conference hall not long after.
The conference hall is very large. There is a very long conference table right after entering the door. At the end of the table are three unknown people, a beautiful woman, a middle-aged man, and an old man. They are watching as they walk into the conference.
Luo Xi and Chu Ling, who were in the room, immediately focused their eyes on Chu Ling and examined him.
Chu Ling followed Luo Xi to the opposite side of the table without saying a word.
At this time, the middle-aged man opposite said: "Are you Chu Ling?"
"Yes." Chu Ling nodded and said.
Seeing that Chu Ling confirmed her identity, the mature woman said: "Your partner has been confirmed as your recommender, that is, the A-level executive next to you, Luo Xi, for your first few tasks
She will guide you through everything."
Chu Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that his new partner would be Luo Xi, but he was a little surprised.
Luo Xi also paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Understood."
"Then next, there happens to be a task for you." At this time, the old man said, "We need you two to explore a ruins. This ruins did not attract much attention when it was discovered, but after several
The exploration team went in and never came out again, which made many people focus on this ruins."
While they were talking, a medium-sized mountain peak was projected on the screen behind them. The surface of the mountain peak revealed a silvery white color underneath due to a landslide, and there was a large, dark hole like a tunnel under the mountain peak. Come to think of it.
It should be the entrance to the excavated ruins.
"We are not the only ones paying attention to this ruins, there are many other forces, and even the kings of the four realms should not be indifferent. The three greats have other tasks now and cannot come back in time, so we will give this task to you. I hope you will
We can find something in the ruins and bring back some samples to the organization."
Chu Ling said: "You mean, you want to rob?"
The three senior executives looked at Chu Ling, and the beautiful woman among them nodded and said, "Yes, if there is a chance and necessary. Do you have any questions?"
Chu Ling thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I have no problem."
"Very good, then this task will be officially assigned to you. If you have any questions, you can search for relevant information through the module. When you are ready, set off as soon as possible."
Chu Ling and Luo Xi agreed and left the conference room. They walked in the corridor and the atmosphere was very quiet.
"I didn't expect that my partner would be you." Chu Ling couldn't help but say in the end.
Luo Xi smiled and tilted her head and said, "I didn't expect that either, but I guess it's because you have a history of cheating, so I was sent to take care of you."
"I'm doing the right thing by pretending, okay?" Chu Ling said.
Mandi retorted.
"If you don't do this, someone else will do it. It won't affect us at all. If the sky falls, there will be taller people to hold it up. That's what the senior management thinks."
"Is this what is called hanging up on matters that have nothing to do with you?"
"You can understand it this way."
"Stupid." Chu Ling cursed secretly, and then asked, "He said he wanted to go as soon as possible, so should we go now?"
When Luo Xi heard this, she looked back at Chu Ling and said, "No, let's choose the equipment first. If we want to do our job well, we must first sharpen our tools and make sufficient preparations."
Only then did Chu Ling remember that when performing tasks in the branch, he had chosen equipment first. However, his equipment was either damaged or lost in the battle. Now he really needed to choose a few more pieces of equipment. For example, scattered equipment
Shotgun?
Following Luo Xi to the equipment warehouse of the development department, Chu Ling realized how low her previous ideas were. Shotgun? What is that thing?
When Chu Ling saw it, he couldn't see any weapons that he was familiar with. They were all kinds of equipment with different colors and full of technology. He scanned the whole room with his mouth wide open and found that there were more cold weapons than hot weapons, but these
Most of the cold weapons have also undergone some modifications.
"This is the equipment warehouse of Cross-World Technology. Pick a few items that are convenient to you. Once debugged, we will set off." Luo Xi said as she began to pick out her own equipment.
Chu Ling began to explore the east and west, marveling at the technological strength here.
Of course, he was amazed. In the end, he only chose a long knife to carry behind his back, a piece of alloy soft armor to wear under his clothes, and a very angular-looking pistol on his waist. After all, Chu Ling's current fighting style
He prefers flexibility and close combat. Using firearms will limit the use of his abilities.
Turning his head to look at Luo Xi, he saw that she also did not choose a large firearm. Instead, she chose a short sword on her back, two daggers hanging on both sides, and also wore an alloy soft armor inside. And Luo Xi
Chu Ling, who Xi had fought against, knew very well that although her abilities were changeable, her core focus was on agility and attack, so she would naturally not use weapons such as firearms.
After selecting the equipment, the two left the weapons depot and walked out of the city.
"How do we get there?" Chu Ling just arrived here. She didn't understand anything and was too lazy to think too much. She simply pushed all the problems to Luo Xi. She was the one to take care of her anyway, so she could just be a novice.
"As usual, take the train." Luo Xi paused and added, "Then we have to drive a little further and walk a little further, and we're there."
"Oh." Chu Ling responded lightly, and then the two of them fell into silence again.
After an unknown amount of time, another sentence suddenly popped out of Chu Ling's mouth: "It's quite far."
"Yeah." Luo Xi walked in front and responded lightly, not knowing what her expression was.
Chu Ling followed Luo Xi, and in this awkward atmosphere, the two of them followed another path outside the city to another platform and got on the train. After getting on the train, Chu Ling consciously went to the bar and ordered a milkshake and a glass of beer.
Then
Put the milkshake in front of Luo Xi.
Luo Xi obviously didn't expect that Chu Ling would remember that she liked to drink milkshakes. She immediately held the cup and said softly: "Thank you."
Chu Ling shrugged, said nothing, took a sip of beer and looked out the window.
Luo Xi looked straight at Chu Ling. She especially wanted to improve the awkward atmosphere between the two, but she didn't know how to do it.
From the very beginning, she made her relationship clear, hinting that Chu Ling should not care too much about herself and care about her, and Chu Ling did so. Not only did she maintain clear boundaries with her, she even rarely spoke to her.
Now when the two of them are together, silence basically takes up most of the time.
She smiled bitterly and took a sip of the milkshake, thinking helplessly that this was probably her own fault.
In this relatively silent atmosphere, the two parties got off the car at the station. Then they rented a car and continued on. It was the first time for Chu Ling to ride in this kind of suspended car. When it floated in the air, he looked to his left.
Take a look at it, it feels very strange.
Luo Xi drove the car down when it was still one kilometer away from the destination, and then hid the car in a thick bush. Then the two of them were going to the ruins on foot.
"Why don't you just drive to the ruins?" Chu Ling asked.
Luo Xi glanced at him and replied: "I heard that many people are eyeing this ruin this time. You must be careful. There may be a fight outside the ruins. What if you drive the car and it is destroyed?"
?We won’t be able to run away by then. Besides, even if a battle doesn’t break out, if we get or grab something in the ruins, we will still have transportation to escape quickly without being destroyed by them.
"
After hearing this, Chu Ling looked at the ruins that had appeared in sight, and then realized that the battle had begun from this moment.
Chapter completed!
