Lin Yao was unaware of Qin Ya’s complicated feelings. After realizing that everyone’s fear and panic had been swept away, he nodded satisfactorily. “You guys can go back first. I’m going on another mission to earn more merit points.”

Upon saying that, Lin Yao was prepared to fly off on the lion.

“Wait a minute.”

Before Lin Yao could finish ‘fronting’, a shout was heard under him.

It was Qin Ya. Upon seeing that Lin Yao was about to leave, she found herself sighing.

“You are courageous to go out to battle. This seems a lot like the heroes in ancient times, but we are no longer in the past.”

Afterward, without waiting for Lin Yao to ask any questions, she said, “I will not stop you from carrying out missions, but there is no need for you to screen the missions or liaise with the military and armed police. These are trivialities for assistants like us to handle… Speaking of this, do you know where to get missions?”

“…”

Upon seeing the blank look on Lin Yao’s face, she waved at Lin Yao and discovered that he was in a daze. She could only say helplessly, “Come down. How am I supposed to tell you when you’re that high up in the sky?”

“Oh, oh. I’m coming down.”

“Poof…”

“Ha ha. Ah Yao looked so silly earlier.”

“He’s so cute.”

At the sight of the high-spirited Lin Yao being pulled down by Qin Ya, Yan Yu’er and the other ladies couldn’t stifle their laughter. Nevertheless, there was no intent in ridicule, and their admiration for Lin Yao had not disappeared because of this. The lion was still standing tall and straight behind Lin Yao.

Lin Yao’s silly behavior made the ladies feel that he was not a high and mighty hero but an ordinary person like them. As a result, they felt even closer to him.

However, Lin Yao didn’t have the time to pay attention to all of this. After reaching Qin Ya’s side, Lin Yao took out his cell phone. Under her guidance, he entered a website and registered as an adventurer.

It didn’t seem very appropriate for a military employee of China to become an adventurer, but Lin Yao soon understood something.

“I suppose the Adventurers Association was established by the country. At the very least, it should have been jointly formed. It holds great power and authority. Otherwise, this would not be the case.”

After Qin Ya made some arrangements, Qi Qing, the liaison officer from the military, also arrived. She told Lin Yao that because he was a military reservist, he would receive both adventurer points as well as a meritorious reward for any battles he took on henceforth.

“I’ll get two salaries then?”

“This is for your benefit. Aside from college students who decide to join the military, you’re the only one who has this privilege.”

Upon saying that, she smiled. “Because you will be receiving two salaries, the points you receive from both sides will be calculated normally and not multiplied.”

“That’s good enough.”

While talking to Qi Qing, Lin Yao also found out from Qin Ya’s explanation that when they were out on a mission, adventurers were required to equip themselves with special equipment issued by China. That was a portable, compact recording device with a satellite connection for communication purposes.

The device had to be turned on during missions. This could be used by the military to assess the mission outcome. At the same time, the recording device with the satellite connection could also deter people from fighting against one another.

Unlike in other places, the people in China still had feelings of fear and reverence for the authorities. Their core values were still very strong. Therefore, civilized people in the city were not allowed to turn into wild beasts the moment they left the city.

This would be a huge waste of manpower.

“In addition to what I just said, there is also a distress system. One can press a button to seek help during dangerous encounters. After receiving the signal, the higher-ups will gauge the location and then look for the nearest adventurer to carry out the rescue mission. When you are in the wilderness and happen to run into people who need help, you can also use this recording device to snap and submit a photo. The authorities will assign the mission accordingly.

“This is a notification function. Once a large-scale disaster occurs, the country will issue a notification and you will have to answer it immediately.

“In addition, when you are in the wilderness, don’t fight with anyone over rare and precious items. You can record them and wait for the judge to determine who the item belongs to.”

Upon listening, Lin Yao discovered that China didn’t want their descendants to fight against one another in the wilderness. Even if only one party wanted to fight but was forcefully killed by the other party, if the satellite video had been turned on, the survivor would be hunted down and arrested.

In addition to the recording device, there were also ways to accept missions, as well as the classification of the adventurers.

As the adventurers would mainly come into contact with ordinary folks, the classification of adventurers was something they could relate to… Courageous Brass, Unyielding Silver, Honorable Gold…

After Lin Yao registered, he sorrowfully discovered that there were restrictions to the missions at each adventurer level.

“What a waste.”

“No, this is for safety reasons. The country would rather waste some time for the powerhouses to advance gradually than sacrifice numerous lives of ordinary people due to a mis-estimation of strength.”

“…”

What else could Lin Yao say upon hearing Qi Qing’s words?

“So, a brass adventurer like me won’t receive missions like finding missing dogs and cats? Well, what about a silver adventurer?”

Yes, after accessing the system, Lin Yao discovered that his adventurer level was Unyielding Silver and he had 1,000 points.

[Name: Lin Yao]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 17 (Minor, not recommended to execute dangerous missions).]

[Adventurer Level: Unyielding Silver]

[Points: 1,000]

[Adventure Group: None]

“What exactly is happening?”

“I’ve told the higher-ups. I suppose this can be considered a benefit.”

“There is definitely something fishy between the military and the Adventurers Association!”

Some words would not be said explicitly. Aside from the classification levels of the adventurers, Qi Qing also gave Lin Yao a small, exquisite recording device that could be pinned on his chest. However, upon seeing it, Lin Yao felt that it was extraordinary. Judging from the materials used to make it, Lin Yao had a feeling that anyone below the gold warlord level would not be able to destroy it.

As he had gained something, Lin Yao naturally didn’t have much to say.

When the explanation was over, Lin Yao was prepared to send the ladies back to the apartment. Qin Ya had already told him that, henceforth, she and the ladies would help Lin Yao search for suitable missions indoors. Lin Yao would only have to execute them, and the few of them could communicate with one another with satellite cell phones.

This was the original plan. However, the recording device Qi Qing had obtained from the military was too powerful. It had satellite communication capabilities, and there was no need for Lin Yao to look for other devices.

At the same time, when he stepped out of the main entrance of the university, he suddenly thought of something and paused in his tracks.

“What’s wrong?”

“Even Shanghai has been affected. It’s not safe for you guys to be outside. I’ll see if I can make arrangements for you to stay here.”

“Sigh…”

As they looked at each other, the smiles on the faces of the women deepened. They had always admired Lin Yao. Of course, they were elated that Lin Yao was sparing a thought for them.

“We’re not the only ones giving.”

“There is no need to go to the trouble. This is Shanghai. It’s safe outside.”

“That’s right. We will be fine.”

They felt happy and cared about Lin Yao more, so they didn’t want to trouble him.

“Listen to me, I don’t want anything to happen to you guys.”

Bossy Lin Yao had already made up his mind. This time, the ladies were complaining on the surface, but the joy in their hearts was indescribable.

After convincing them, Lin Yao contacted Professor Li.

Although Professor Li didn’t know their history, he was a big boss after all. After confirming there was no issue with the ladies’ identities, it was arranged for Yan Yu’er, Yin Meng, Yin Yin, Qi Qing, and the rest to stay in the school.

“Thank you, Professor.”

“Ha ha, you don’t need to thank me. The university will not allow any Tom, Dick, and Harry to come in. You also have to thank yourself for the fact that this was approved that quickly.”

With everything in place, Lin Yao summoned the feathered serpent spirit to possess his body so he could fly toward a certain place.

Before Lin Yao flew away from the university, he heard a voice from the Bluetooth headset on his left ear.

“Ah Yao, the first mission has been found.”
