“A mysterious mutant powerhouse?”
The two law-enforcement officers from the Mutant Association entered deep thoughts after hearing this.
“If that’s the case, everything that happened in the dungeon can be explained,” muttered the middle-aged law-enforcement officer.
At the thought of this, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly flipped open the notebook that recorded the recent major events in City H.
The latest record: A shocking phenomenon appeared around City H. It was suspected that a mutant king had appeared.
As an experienced law-enforcement officer of the Mutant Association in City H, the middle-aged man had a feeling that the mysterious mutant that appeared in the dungeon must have some mysterious relationship with the mysterious Mutant King.
Following that, all he had to do was to record down all the information.
Victor Li and the middle-aged man whispered a few words into each other’s ears before the two of them walked to the side and started chatting mysteriously.
The young female enforcer was responsible for registering the situation of conquerring the Grade A dungeon.
Halfway through the registration, she asked Li Qingqing about the mysterious person.
“Since you saw the mysterious man killing the demonic creatures, do you remember his clothes and appearance? I need to record it down.”
Li Qingqing glanced at Ye Tianyu before shaking her head.
“That person was wearing a long black robe, and his face was hidden behind a cloak. It was very difficult to see his appearance.”
The young female enforcer thought for a moment and said, “Well, since he doesn’t want to expose his identity, it’s normal that you didn’t see it clearly. Also, you should be glad that you didn’t see it clearly. Otherwise, the team might have lost a member.” After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to record on her computer.
Li Qingqing, who was at the side, had an unnatural expression on her face when she heard the young female enforcer’s words.
Soon, the record of this incident was completed.
On the other hand, the middle-aged law-enforcement officer also ended his conversation with Victor Li. When he walked in front of everyone, he returned to his sluggish appearance.
“Okay, this matter is classified as confidential. You guys better forget about it. Treat it as an ordinary dungeon mission.”
“Also, if you encounter another dungeon with undetermined ranking, report it to the Mutant Association immediately. Don’t act rashly. After all, you aren’t always so lucky that a powerful figure will help you.”
“Yes! Thank you for your reminder!” Victor Li seemed embarrassed.
According to the mission rules, he had to report the discovery of the unknown dungeon immediately. However, in order to complete the conquer mission as soon as possible and not let other teams beat them to it, he chose not to report it.
Although the Mutant Association didn’t have any punishments for this, the danger that they experienced this time made Victor Li’s heart palpitate.
Fortunately, there were no losses this time. Otherwise, he would not know how to face his team members!
The middle-aged man gave them a few simple instructions before he started up the armored vehicle and disappeared from their sight.
It wasn’t until the rumbling engine noise was far away that Victor Li came to his senses, and his facial expressions relaxed.
“This incident can be considered a lesson. We should follow the rules in the future.”
He looked at the members of the Spiritual Team. Most of them were in a sorry state, except for Ye Tianyu and Li Qingqing, who seemed too clean and out of place.
“Could all of this really be a coincidence?” Victor Li muttered to himself.
…
A moment later.
The sky turned dark, and the surrounding scenery was gradually covered by night.
All the members of the Spiritual Team boarded the vehicle and began their journey back to City H.
The atmosphere in the car was a little suppressed.
Everyone fell silent. It was difficult to hear any sound in the car.
Night fell.
Sporadic starlight began to appear in the sky. The weak starlight shone on the car window, adding a hint of life to the quiet night.
Victor Li sat in the passenger seat and looked at the rear mirror with an odd expression on his face.
He saw his niece staring unblinkingly at Ye Tianyu with her hands under her chin. An inexplicable smile would occasionally appear on her face.
This ambiguous scene caused Victor Li to be surprised. Clearly, he understood what Li Qingqing’s actions indicated.
“That boy Ye Tianyu is indeed quite handsome. His mentality and performance in all aspects are also very good. Looks like this niece of mine must have developed an interest in him!”
However, he always felt that Ye Tianyu was not as simple as he seemed.
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Victor Li broke the silence in the car.
“Everyone has worked hard for this mission. We still have an hour before we return to City H, so let me tabulate our gains!”
Hearing that their captain was starting to count the gains, the members of the Spiritual Team looked over eagerly.
Though the demonic creatures and treasures behind the dungeon had nothing to do with them, they had killed the snakes and the Grade C+Giant Snake at the beginning. Their harvest was not much worse than the average Grade C Dungeon.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Victor Li smiled. He was not in a hurry to start counting. Instead, he looked at Ye Tianyu.
Ever since he got into the car, Ye Tianyu had been looking out the window.
At this time, perhaps sensing Victor Li’s gaze, he also turned around.
“Sorry, I was distracted just now.”
In reality, Ye Tianyu was just checking his class information and the data change in the summoning soldiers. Of course, the others, including Li Qingqing, couldn’t see his interface information.
“Mm! As a member of the Spiritual Team, you will also get a share of the gains this time. You should hear it together with us!”
After Victor Li finished speaking, none of the team members objected. Instead, they revealed a friendly smile to Ye Tianyu.
There was an unwritten rule in Spiritual Team, which was that everything obtained would be divided according to the individual’s contribution. As long as one was a member of the team, they would receive a certain percentage of the reward.
This rule was set at the beginning of the establishment of the Spiritual Team. Firstly, it was to promote the unity between the team members, and secondly, it could allow every member to discover their own value.
It was obvious that although Ye Tianyu, as a newcomer, did not play much of a role in his first operation, his indifferent expression from beginning to end changed everyone’s impression of him.
After all, not every newcomer could maintain such a calm attitude when faced with a terrifying demonic creature.
Furthermore, without him and Li Qingqing, no one would be able to find the last teleportation portal.
Therefore, when they heard what Victor Li said, the members of the Spiritual Team all looked at this new member with approval.
It had to be said that the rules of the Spiritual Team were quite humane.
Although the biggest gains this time was in his hands, Ye Tianyu still nodded when he saw everyone’s kind gazes.
Victor Li tabulated on the passenger seat for a few minutes before he continued saying.
“This time, we killed a total of 50 Grade D creatures and a Grade C demonic leader.”
“We attained a total of 50 Grade D magical crystals, one Grade C+ magical crystal, and some equipment materials…”
“When I return to City H, I will exchange these items at the Mutant Association. Some rare items will be auctioned off… This is all we have gained this time.”
Whoosh!
The next moment, cheers sounded from the car!
“A Grade D magical crystal is worth tens of thousands of dollars. Together with the Grade C+ magical crystal and so on… We’ve made a killing this time!”
“My wife has been discussing with me about having a child recently. Now, I have enough money for buying milk powder!”
“Hahaha!”
“Zhou Dazhi, you’re really great! Congratulations!”
Though the Spiritual Team had conquered many dungeons, they didn’t gain so much every time.
Besides Li Qingqing, everyone in the Spiritual Team had a family. They had a lot of expenses in terms of food, accommodation, and other things.
As mutants, the team members often had to face the dangers of magical creatures and various kinds of pressure in their lives.
However, the gains this time were very considerable. It was enough for them to not need to face financial pressure for a long time.
“The process of conquering the dungeon is too exciting. This is my first time seeing so many corpses of high-level creatures!”
That day’s experience was like a dream. The thrilling and shocking scene still made people’s hearts surge.
“Yeah, it’s even a little scary. I wonder what that mysterious powerhouse looks like?”
“How great would it be if I could become that kind of powerhouse!”
“…”
“Don’t even think about it. We’ll talk about it when you can even kill a Grade C demon!”
“Hahaha!”
Looking at the members teasing one another, a rare smile of relief appeared on Victor Li’s face.
The night was enchanting and the stars shone brightly.
On the road in the mountains, an MPV shuttled through the night and gradually disappeared into the night.
