"Why are you still here?"
The moment they looked at each other, Wen Nina's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
She just casually reminded him out of good intentions. Didn't this person take it seriously at all?
"Why are you back?"
Lu Qingge did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"This is my job."
Wen Nina said lightly.
As one of the core members of the Iron Wolf Regiment, her mission today is to lead a few subordinates to attack the [Shadow Cave].
Due to the relatively high risk, the Iron Wolf Group has shelved the exploration project of [Shadow Cave] for some time.
Therefore, it was the first time for Wen Nina’s team to come to this place.
Her team was actually quite well prepared, and they also brought a silencing spell similar to the [Chilling Talisman].
Unfortunately, the team was completely too late to use it.
When they opened the [Bronze Treasure Chest], they also didn't notice the [Troll Bat] biogroup on the dome, and they were caught off guard.
And now, after reorganizing the team.
With this previous experience, Wen Nina led everyone back.
This time, they have full confidence in taking down that [drop from the sky].
"If she knew that there was only that little thing in the broken box that she spent so much effort on, she would probably be in a state of shock, right?"
Lu Qingge read silently.
"but……"
"If she finds that there is nothing in the box, will she be even more emotional..."
Thinking of this, a few beads of sweat gradually appeared on Lu Qingge's forehead.
It seems that I can't stay here for long.
In this situation, taking the next step is the best option!
"Ah, see you later."
Lu Qingge waved calmly and walked away.
Why does he look weird...
Wen Nina frowned slightly, a little confused.
However, time was precious, and she had no time to think about it, so she led the team into the cave again.
…
In front of the entrance of [Shadow Cave].
Seeing Lu Qingge's figure reappearing, the other players who had been standing still began to whisper among themselves.
"Come out, come out!"
"Damn it, you actually made it out alive? That's awesome!"
"And he seemed to have been in there for a long time?"
"Hmph, so what?"
"Looking at his disgraced look, he probably got beaten a lot in there!"
"..."
Lu Qingge naturally ignored these guys who had nothing to do.
He quickly left [Grand Mountain Foothills] and walked quickly in the direction of [Grand Town].
It won't be long before Wen Nina will find that the box is empty.
And by the time she thought of herself, it was already too late to chase him.
"call."
Lu Qingge breathed a sigh of relief:
"Although there were many surprises on this trip, it was bumpy all the way."
"But in the end, everything has been resolved."
"--go home!"
…
ten minutes later.
Inside the Shadow Cave.
Wen Nina fell into silence facing the bronze treasure box that had turned into scrap metal...

at dusk.
The sun sets.
The fiery red afterglow fell on Glen Town, painting the town with a layer of red paint.
Brave Association office hall.
"Hey, hey, you said you said..."
"Yes, that's right. We all understand the situation now. I'm really, really sorry..."
"Yeah, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, we will definitely pay attention to it in the future..."
As usual, Caroline was fielding today's complaint calls.
This is part of the daily work of a clerk.
"You can't do this, Caroline."
Betty happened to be passing by, stretched out her hand to push up her glasses, and couldn't help but muttered:
"How many times have I told you?"
“Don’t waste too much time on this type of invalid customer.”
Betty reached out and patted a stack of paper on Caroline's desk: "Look at your subpoenas today. Are they all sorted?"
"not yet."
Caroline smiled bitterly and said: "Sorry, Director Betty, I will pay attention next time."
"When did you not say that?"
Betty said with a straight face: "Honestly, Caroline."
"You can be considered the most effective among your employees."
"I originally wanted to transfer you to be the manager."
"But now it seems that your ability to deal with customers may still be lacking."
After hearing this, Caroline's heart skipped a beat.
In the Brave Association, the clerk can be said to be the most basic position.
Any young and motivated professional would not be willing to stay in this position and waste time.
Although Caroline didn't want to admit it, Betty's words did have a lot of damage to her.
"I……"
Caroline was a little nervous, but she didn't know what to say.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the door of the service hall.
——Lu Qingge.
"It's him again."
Betty's eyes were also attracted by this young man who looked dusty.
This man was really famous within the Brave Association, so she naturally recognized him at a glance.
"If you want to get off work early, just send him away."
"Don't forget what I just told you."
Betty gave a low hint, turned and left.
"Miss Caroline."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Lu Qingge smiled and waved hello, then sat down in front of Caroline's workstation:
"Sorry, I'm late again!"
"Ah, it's okay..."
Caroline glanced sideways behind her, then whispered:
"Well, the business license issue has been resolved. You will receive the certificate in a few days."
Lu Qingge: "Oh, thank you very much!"
"You're welcome."
Caroline still whispered: "What do you want to do tonight? Let's solve it quickly. Our supervisor is not happy."
"Ah, is it like this?"
"I'm so sorry, I delayed your get off work again."
Lu Qingge scratched his head and smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, I just came to hand in a task."
"Hand in the mission?"
Caroline was slightly startled.
Wait a minute...
seemingly……
If she remembered correctly.
Lu Qingge, who has not come to the office hall during this period of time, seems to have only one bounty mission at hand, right?
Caroline's voice trembled: "You have to pay... pay..."
Lu Qingge said: "X-6"
Caroline: "...?"
Cardiopulmonary arrest!
X-6?
How can it be! ?
That is a mission called the absolute [Newcomer's Grave]!
She still remembered that just two days ago, an assassin happened to take over this task.
The assassin was still confident when he went there, but today he sent her a message saying that he was canceling the mission.
The reason is that he is already in [Netherworld Purgatory]...
"Miss Caroline, are you okay?"
Lu Qingge tried to wake up Caroline who was already in a fugue.
Before Caroline could regain her composure, the sound of the system sounded in her ears again.
