Wake Kai Lu O Chingan.

You both know each other, right? Yes, Lined.

After you joined, our group has two damage dealers.

Aunt Lou smiled and said, "One close-range and one long range, plus one support and one healer.

It's the perfect four-person team.

Even if we encounter elite monsters, we can still put up a fight.

It's clear that the captain is taking good care of you newcomers.

Really? Way Kai couldn't help but curl his lips at this remark.

One veteran leading three newcomers isn T really taking care of us.

We need a meat shield to tank damage like the great shield warrior Shiao Chan for a perfect setup.

However, since it was already like this, Way Kai had nothing more to say.

After all, this was just a search mission and Chingong Mountain wasn't a highle grinding area.

The common monsters, they're only up to level 25.

And as long as they don't encounter a level 35 area boss, there shouldn't be any safety issues.

Of course, even if they did encounter an area boss, it could still be defeated as long as several teams joined forces.

After introducing the team members, Aunt Lou began explaining how to cooperate as a group and what to do in case of emergencies on a mountain.

These were all experiences shared by veteran players, earned through blood and sweat.

Way Kai listened intently, not distracted at all.

After an unknown amount of time, the car suddenly stopped.

Then they heard Wu Chillyong shout.

We ve arrived at Chingong Mountain, "Get out and prepare to execute the mission.

" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone from the first action team got out of the car.

It was Way Kai's first time at Chinglong Mountain, and he was curious about everything here.

In fact, many people in the team were visiting for the first time.

Chingong Mountain was not a good place for leveling.

Although it was large, the number of monsters was sparse and their types were monotonous.

There were only two types of monsters here.

The level 20 cloud leopard and the level 25 black bear.

The cloud leopard is agile and quick, excelling in flexibility.

It can run away if it can't beat melee characters and can quickly close the distance to attack range characters, making it quite troublesome.

As for the black bear, it has high attack, high defense, and thick health with the only drawback being its lack of agility and rarity of encounters.

The presence of these two monsters has led many players to avoid leveling here with only hunters specifically farming materials occasionally visiting.

However, the scenery of Chinyong Mountain is still quite nice.

It was named Ching Leong because before the game came into reality, it was a large suburban park.

Due to its dense vegetation, the temperature here has been maintained between 20 to 26° C year round.

Every summer, many citizens would come here to escape the heat and have fun.

At the foot of the mountain, there are wild camping sites by the river, an amusement park, and water facilities nearby.

At the top of the mountain, there's a small pavilion that overlooks the entire Chinyong Mountain after the disaster struck.

It was also occupied by monsters, turning into a paradise for wild creatures.

Now, 18 years later, all the facilities have fallen into disrepair, overgrown with weeds and trees, resembling a post-apocalyptic world.

Time is of the essence.

Let us get moving.

After everyone gathered and confirmed that no one was missing, Wu Chuang announced loudly, "Remember, you must return by 6:10 or you will face the consequences.

Let Es go.

" After the captain finished speaking, Aunt Lu softly said to the three of them.

As the only veteran in the team and the elder among everyone, she naturally took on the responsibility of guiding them.

Way Kai, Lu Ching Wuan, and Linlon all nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, other groups in the team also began to head into the mountain in other directions.

Other teams from the external affairs group were also acting in unison, all advancing towards Chinglong Mountain.

Along the way, apart from Aunt Lu occasionally speaking to encourage everyone.

The mood among the others was quite heavy.

Chingong Mountain had been abandoned for 18 years.

It was already in ruins, and the desolate scenery was all that met their eyes.

The litter and abandoned cars scattered along the way hinted at how hasty and panicked the abandonment had been.

The faint smell of decay and grass in the air reminded everyone that fierce battles had once occurred here.

However, the final outcome was likely not as expected.

Fortunately, during their walk, aside from the dilapidated scenery, they did not find any traces of monsters.

It seemed that as stated in the mission, all the monsters had disappeared.

After walking for half an hour, the group had not encountered a single monster.

Gradually, Linlon began to feel a bit restless.

Aunt Lou, there are four of us in our group.

Can we split up to act? No.

Aunt Lou decisively shook her head.

Ching Huan doesn't have healing abilities.

And aside from we Kai, none of us can withstand monster attacks.

What if we run into danger if we split up? In their group, there was no meat shield.

They could only let We Kai, the swordsman, take the lead if they encountered monsters.

With Aunt Lu responsible for healing and Lu O Ching Huan for providing buffs.

But if they split up, aside from Wei Kai being able to go solo, the rest would have difficulty facing the monsters in a mountain regardless of how they combined.

But searching like this is too inefficient, Linlon argued.

Efficiency isn't the priority.

Aunt Lou shook her head.

Safety is the most important.

With a new year as graduation season, many newcomers had also joined the external affairs group.

So this collective action also had some training purposes.

It allowed veterans to lead newcomers and teach them how to act and cooperate.

Since it was training, safety must be the first concern.

As for efficiency, with over a 100 members of the external affairs group mobilized, would they still worry about not completing the mission? Chapter 130.

Staying overnight here at 6:00 in the afternoon.

More than an hour had passed, and as the mission stated, the group had not encountered any monsters.

Along the way, apart from members of other groups, there was not a single living creature in sight.

In the vast Chinyong Mountain, there wasn't even one monster.

Aunt Lou, what should we do now? Way Kai couldn't help but ask during the break.

Aunt Lou glanced around and smiled.

Let's go back.

The group had now reached halfway down the mountain, and it would take a considerable amount of time to descend.

If they returned now, they would arrive at the meeting point right at 6:10.

Just like that, we're going back like this.

Is that a waste of time? Linquestine pulled out.

Of course, Aunt Lou nodded.

Our mission on the surface is to search for monsters, but in reality, it's to verify our previous hypothesis.

If we can't find any monsters, it proves that our earlier guess was correct.

Is there going to be a follow-up? Wake Kai asked again.

That's not something I can know.

Aunt Lou smiled lightly and said, "You'll have to ask the team leader about that.

" "True," Wayai thought for a moment and decided to keep quiet.

After spending over an hour together, he had learned quite a bit about Aunt Le's personality.

Besides being relatively kind, she gave off a conservative and passive vibe.

She did everything according to the task requirements, methodically and precisely, never going above and beyond, nor stepping out of line.

Essentially, she lacked initiative.
