Half a year has passed since the last Yulin meeting. Changsun and others have lived a very fulfilling life as second-year students. The Youth League has grown in an eye-catching way since the day it was formed, and has risen rapidly among the mercenary groups in the academy. .
Tianxuan Pavilion is a place where the academy releases tasks for the mercenary group within the academy. At this time, Changsun and Bai Chenming were in the lobby on the first floor.
Changsun looked at the people coming and going in the hall and said with emotion: "When have there been so many people in Tianxuan Pavilion?"
Bai Chenming smiled: "That's because people come to pick up tasks every day, report back after completing tasks, and some mercenary groups choose to gather in Tianxuan Pavilion to exchange experiences, making Tianxuan Pavilion always overcrowded."
The eldest grandson nodded and saw the people around him looking at the two of them strangely. He was a little puzzled: "Chen Ming, are you a celebrity here? Why are everyone looking at us two."
Bai Chenming shifted his gaze from the light curtains announcing missions around the hall, scanned the surrounding crowd, and said with a smile: "Changsun, you are really deaf to what's going on outside the window. It's not that I'm a celebrity here, but our Youth Sect Mercenary Group .”
After that, Bai Chenming pointed to a light curtain in the center of Tianxuan Pavilion that ran from the third floor to the first floor.
"Well, this is the 'Hundred Leagues List'. We are a famous mercenary group on the list, and it only took us half a year to enter the list. This is a rare feat. So they look at us with all kinds of eyes. It's mixed with envy, jealousy and hatred." Bai Chenming said.
The eldest grandson looked at the list of 100 alliances and saw the name of the Youth Pi at the 90th position.
Changsun was not sensitive to things like rankings, and he did not know until now that the mercenary group formed by his group had entered the Hundred Alliance Ranking.
While Changsun was still paying attention to the Hundred Alliance List, there was a sudden commotion in the hall of Tianxuan Pavilion.
"Look, another emergency mission has been announced." There was discussion among the crowd.
Changsun turned his attention to the light screen announcing the mission. A red mission appeared at the top, which was extremely eye-catching.
"Save the staff of Blazing City Mine No. 1."
"Early this morning, the No. 1 Huolingshi Mine in Blazing City collapsed for unknown reasons. 37 workers were trapped in the mine tunnel, and their lives and deaths are unknown."
It can be seen from the brief mission announcement that this rescue mission is so urgent that the mission introduction does not have time to investigate in detail.
"I've been to Mine No. 1 once. It's a fire spirit stone mine owned by the college, and it's also an old mine. I remember that the college conducted maintenance on the mine tunnels the year before last, and most of the runes in the mine tunnels were reworked. "When I went there last time, I was still amazed that this mine tunnel that was older than me could still be so 'healthy'. Why did it collapse?" someone in the crowd commented.
"The collapse of the Fire Spirit Mine occurred. If it wasn't for the unstable energy of the Fire Spirit Stone and the explosion, it was caused by the outburst of ground fire. With the abundant Fire Spirit Power in Mine No. 1, no matter what the cause, the collapse must be extremely dangerous. ." Someone around continued.
As soon as this person spoke, everyone around him nodded secretly, showing their approval of his speculation. At the same time, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at this urgent task again, losing their initial enthusiasm.
The chatter from the surrounding crowd also reached Changsun's ears. Changsun also agreed with the various speculations in the crowd. Compared with the brief introduction of the task, the actual situation in the mine tunnel was bound to be a hundred times more complicated.
Bai Chenming squeezed through the crowd and returned to Changsun again.
The first time he saw the emergency mission, Bai Chenming rushed to the mission collection point and used the connections he had accumulated over the past six months to learn more about the emergency mission.
"This emergency mission is far more dangerous than everyone imagined. Even the academy does not know the exact situation in Mine No. 1. It is said that more than 80% of the mine tunnels have been damaged to varying degrees. The worst part is the one leading to the center. All the mine tunnels in the control room have been destroyed, and the college speculates that the 37 remaining employees may be in the central control room." Bai Chenming said.
After hearing this, the eldest grandson fell into thinking.
Bai Chenming continued: "Since Mine No. 1 is completely owned by the college, there are many engineering projects that are not suitable for public disclosure, so the college has no intention of inviting mercenary groups from outside the college. Also, this rescue mission is too dangerous, so I just said I also found out that the academy means that only the mercenary groups on the Hundred Alliance List are eligible to accept the mission."
After Bai Chenming finished speaking, he looked at his grandson and left the final decision to his grandson.
Changsun thought for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Chenming, "Do you think we can complete this task if we accept it?"
Bai Chenming had long known that Changsun would not give up this task easily, and said: "The biggest danger in this task now is that all the conditions in the mine are unknown, and personnel will be in danger at any time when entering the mine. However, our servants Because of the existence of Siqin in the Corps, the Golden Dew Bee and Black Bee controlled by her can detect the situation in the mine tunnel for us. If everything goes well, we can find the safest route before we enter. And because of the nature of this mission Due to the danger and complexity, the academy has also said that even if the staff is not rescued in the end, if the situation of the mine tunnel can be clearly explored, corresponding mission rewards will be given."
Changsun nodded and decided to take on this mission.
…
In Tianxuan Pavilion, the first floor is responsible for issuing tasks inside the hospital, the second floor is responsible for issuing tasks outside the hospital, and the third floor on the top is where the hospital staff work and hold meetings.
At this moment, in the largest conference room on the third floor, the dean of Qi Ziyuan and several elders of the hospital are discussing matters about Mine No. 1.
"Old Li Tou, the situation in Mine No. 1 is urgent this time. If we don't deal with it, the consequences will be disastrous." Wu Dakui, the dean of Qi Ziyuan, said.
The old man surnamed Li is the elder in charge of Tianxuan Pavilion. After hearing this, he said: "Dean Wu, I understand the seriousness of this matter. Didn't I issue an emergency mission announcement as soon as possible..."
"What a ridiculous mission announcement. The situation in Mine No. 1 is complicated this time. How can the students of these colleges handle it? Now we will organize a team of teachers to go to the rescue!" Dean Wu said anxiously.
Elder Li was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Dean Wu, I can't decide this matter. The teacher's power must be mobilized by Elder Bai."
Dean Wu looked at Elder Bai who was calm and composed at the side, and said: "Old man Bai, your eyebrows are burning. Stop resting here and send someone quickly!"
Elder Bai didn't even open his eyes and said bluntly: "We can't send them."
"What did you say!?" Dean Wu slapped the table angrily and stood up.
Elder Bai then opened his eyes, unmoved by Wu Dakui's momentum, and said: "The deployment of teachers' power needs to be discussed through the high-level meeting of the college. Now that the dean and dean Xia are not here, the meeting cannot be held. .”
"What a nonsense meeting. There were 37 lives lost in Mine No. 1, and the huge interests of the college were involved. Old man Bai, can you take responsibility for the losses!"
"Hmph, now I remember that Mine No. 1 belongs to the college. Didn't you say before that Mine No. 1 is owned by your Qi Zi College?" Elder Bai said coldly.
"Fuck you, I'm not saying that because of the renovation of the mine tunnel in front of me. I asked you to borrow people, but you refused to contribute money and efforts. Damn it, every year when Mine No. 1 makes a profit, you two are so enthusiastic It sticks up like a dog wagging its tail. When it comes time to exert force, it slips away faster than anyone else..." Dean Wu pointed at Elder Bai and scolded him angrily.
Elder Bai's face turned livid and he said, "Wu Dakui, please keep your mouth clean."
"Why don't I just scold you? Send someone to me quickly. If you don't send someone, I will not only scold you but also slap you." Dean Wu rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.
"you dare!"
"See if I dare."
Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Elder Li hurriedly stepped forward to start a fight.
"You two, stop arguing. The top priority now is to solve the situation in Mine No. 1."
The two were pulled down, both panting and silent.
"Now that the dean and several others are not in the hospital, the teachers dare not use them easily. It is also Elder Bai's responsibility to act according to the rules. The main problem in Mine No. 1 is that the situation inside is unknown. Let's first send some students to find out the situation in the mine tunnel. The mission I am releasing this time requires that the mercenary group on the Hundred Alliance List can accept this mission, and I will also ask them to come here for you to evaluate their abilities. When the dean comes back, it will be more effective to send teachers to rescue. Efficiency." Elder Li advised.
Neither of them spoke, but with Elder Li's persuasion, the tension eased.
After a while, Dean Wu lost his temper again and said, "How come there is no mercenary group to accept the mission until now?"
Just as Elder Li was about to say "Be patient," the door to the conference room was pushed open, and the teacher from Tianxuan Pavilion walked in with his eldest grandson's youth mercenary group.
The few people who entered the conference room bowed politely, and then the teacher stepped forward and said: "Elder, these are members of the Youth Sect mercenary group. They are willing to accept this rescue mission."
After the teacher finished speaking, he stepped forward and handed the information on the Youth Pie to Elder Li.
Elder Li looked through the information of Zhang Sun and others, and said while reading: "The ranking is 90th on the Hundred Alliance List, which is not bad. The strength of the members are all magicians... a little low, they are all second-year students, and many are... You are a student of Qi Zi Academy."
Elder Li handed the information to Dean Wu.
Elder Li said to Zhang Sun and others: "The strength of your mercenary group should not be underestimated. It only took half a year to break into the Hundred League Rankings, with unlimited potential. However, this mission is too dangerous. I am afraid your strength is a bit... …”
Elder Li meant that Changsun and others were not strong enough, and wanted to deny it, but was interrupted by Dean Wu before he could finish speaking.
"It's just them. After waiting a long time for such a group of people to arrive, I think the remaining mercenary groups on the Hundred Alliance List don't have the guts to take on this mission." Dean Wu glanced at the information and said.
"Dean Wu, these children have too little experience, and this mission is too dangerous for them." Elder Li said.
"There is no mission that is not dangerous. When I was their age, I had already traveled across half of the continent." Dean Wu said.
"But……"
"Stop it, is there any other way now?"
Changsun listened to the argument among several deans and elders and said, "Dean, elders, can the students say something?"
Dean Wu has an impression of Changsun and his group. After all, they are some of the best students among the second-year students in his college.
"Our mercenary group has also accepted rescue missions in the past six months and has experience in this area. If we are unable to do so, we will definitely not do it by force."
"Also, we actually want to know more about the situation in Mine No. 1 before deciding whether to accept the mission." Changsun said.
