Chapter 91: The Ambush Mission

In the bustling streets of Dream Star City, at the Qimen Building.

Wu Hua pushed open the conference room door, and Tian Na greeted him with a smile: “Welcome, please come in!”

Although Tian Na smiled as charmingly as in the past, there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

“Has something happened?” Wu Hua asked.

Tian Na nodded: “Come in and I’ll tell you.”

“Welcome back,” Mr. Tie stood up from the sofa. “Let me introduce the new partners to you.”

Before he could finish, Wu Hua exclaimed in surprise: “Teacher Yu?”

Standing behind Mr. Tie, Yu Qing’s face blushed slightly.

Mr. Tie asked in surprise: “So you know each other?”

Wu Hua nodded: “Of course I do.”

Mr. Tie sighed with relief: “That’s great if you know each other.”

“Who is this?” Wu Hua noticed three more people standing beside Yu Qing.

Mr. Tie introduced: “Cang Lang. Level 33 Gunslinger; Lost Sunshine. Level 34 Healer; 1860. Level 36 Controller.”

Mr. Tie’s introduction was very brief and he personally presented them. Wu Hua sensed that a big problem had occurred. These individuals had exceptionally high levels. Even if they couldn’t defeat them in a short time, they were at least first-class experts.

Wu Hua was correct. These people were very aloof, not because of arrogance, but the instinctive reserve of experts. Mr. Tie was indeed a capable individual. I wonder where he had found these experts.

“Explosion Mad. Level 28 Gunslinger.”

Hearing the level 28, everyone took a slight glance at Wu Hua, but there was no contempt or dissatisfaction in their eyes; only surprise. Mr. Tie had invited a level 28 gunner; this person must possess unique strength.

Seeing the looks in their eyes, Wu Hua felt surprised as well. These people were no ordinary sorts.

Situations are urgent, let me speak. Tian Na stepped forward. “This time, our company is cooperating with the Dream Star City Tian Yu Company. Wind Forest Fire Mountain, several kilometers south, is a very high mountain peak. Five hours ago, after scouting, we learned its name is Ling Jue Peak, with an altitude of approximately 2000 meters. Southward lies a sheer cliff.”

Wu Hua pondered this; Tian Yu is also a prominent company in Dream Star City, specializing in organizing mercenaries for missions. Their appeal to male players is exceptionally strong, and they have always been regarded as a major rival by the Blue Company. This company has three leaders: Changkong Po Xue, Changkong Lin’er, Changkong Wu Ji. These three individuals, similar to Blue Starry Sky, are mysterious experts unknown to the outside world.

Wu Hua had not expected the background of Qimen Company to be so complex; in fact, the two companies are partners.

Tian Na continued: “This time, our two companies have collectively organized over 30,000 people to venture to Ling Jue Peak for exploration. The super bosses there have already been eliminated by us, and the complete topography of Wind Forest Fire Mountain has been revealed. Everyone, please take a look at the map.”

With these words, she opened the electronic map on the wall.

The map indeed displayed the full view of Wind Forest Fire Mountain. Ling Jue Peak is approximately 5 kilometers from Wind Forest Fire Mountain, appearing as an isolated peak in the vast desert, but connected to it as one. To ascend Ling Jue Peak, one must first reach the summit of Wind Forest Fire Mountain.

Tian Na stated: “This exploration operation, our two companies have suffered losses exceeding 20,000 people, with fewer than 5,000 survivors remaining.”

Wu Hua secretly mused: You truly spare no expense; the human wave tactic has once again proven to be an effective method for dealing with super bosses.

“However, this time, Illusion Moon City Blue Ocean Company, together with Martial Forest Television Station, has also set their sights on Ling Jue Peak. Although they have dispatched fewer people, their strength surpasses ours. We have fewer than 5,000 left, all trapped on the peak. Five hours ago, both sides initiated the exploration point defense mission. One hour ago, we received news that our numbers have dwindled to fewer than 300, while the Blue Company still has over 700. The disparity in strength is immense.”

This exploration defense mission is governed by regulations: Within five hours after eliminating super bosses, the exploring guilds, companies, or teams must guard the exploration point, or they will lose jurisdiction if occupied by others. The Blue Company was evidently a step behind Tian Yu Company and sought to contest the exploration point, leading to a fierce battle between both sides.

Cang Lang suddenly interjected: “Allow me to speak frankly. Mr. Tie, do you believe that with just these five of us, we can reverse the situation?”

His remark struck at the crucial point. Wu Hua and the others understood; the opponent had over 700 members. Even if each had a plain energy sword, they would be no match for 700 against 1.

Mr. Tie said: “I have not yet become so irrational.”

Tian Na explained: “That’s the situation. On Ling Jue Peak, there are a few high-level experts from our Tian Yu Company. Although our numbers are fewer, the terrain up the mountain is treacherous; they absolutely cannot scale it within the last two hours. However, we received information that two hours ago, Blue Company boss Blue Starry Sky, in conjunction with Martial Forest Television Station boss ‘Bao Da Ting’, had organized a 50-person elite squad for reinforcement. They have already departed from Illusion Moon City. If these 50 reach Ling Jue Peak, the tide of battle may reverse soon. The three bosses of Tian Yu Company are still in Heavenly Blue City and cannot return immediately. In this desperate situation, we have no choice but to solicit your five top-tier experts for assistance.”

Lost Sunshine suddenly said: “Mr. Tie means we intercept them on Wind Forest Fire Mountain?”

Tian Na affirmed: “Yes, I believe only you five can possibly halt them.”

Wu Hua inquired: “Who are these individuals?”

Mr. Tie slowly replied: “I trust you’ve all heard of these names: Nong Fu San Quan, Moon Shadow Autumn Yarn, Lily, Snow Night Fairy, Sand Dune Witch, Cold Plum Proud Snow, Wind Laugh…”

Everyone was taken aback. Six of the Seven Fairy Maidens have mobilized, and Martial Forest Television Station has also deployed several experts. It appears that everyone is risking everything to compete for the territory.

Wu Hua took a long breath; this mission must be accepted no matter the cost. Even without compensation, we must take it.

1860 said coldly: “Compensation?”

Mr. Tie responded: “As long as you five assist us in defending the exploration point, upon your return, you five may name your desired price. Mr. Tie will not refuse anything within his capability.”

1860 sneered: “Excellent. Just for Mr. Tie’s golden signboard, the job is mine.”

Mr. Tie said: “We can sign the electronic contract right now. I can provide an advance of 30,000 credit points as deposit for each of you.”

“No need,” Lost Sunshine interjected. “It is now 18:40. The last flight from Illusion Moon City to Dream Star City departs at 17:30 and arrives at the service port after 40 minutes. To reach Wind Forest Fire Mountain at the quickest pace, renting a helicopter from the shopping center is already too late. If traveling by car, they will arrive at the foot of Wind Forest Fire Mountain before 19:40. The defense mission concludes at 21:00. We have little time left; we should depart immediately.”

Wu Hua was startled. This beautiful doctor had calculated very precisely. The individuals arriving today are no ordinary people but top experts.

Tian Na said: “Everyone, our company’s rented helicopter has been waiting on our company’s rooftop for some time. It will air-drop you onto Wind Forest Fire Mountain. Our reporter will accompany you on the journey for on-site reporting. I hope you will not mind.”

Everyone’s expressions were displeased; such a refined and perilous operation with a reporter present is an unnecessary burden. But since we are taking the money and causing the trouble, even if reluctant, we must comply.

“Rest assured, this reporter has extensive experience and has achieved remarkable feats in our company. She was once a survivor in the Survival Path mission. You need not worry.”

Only then did everyone relax.

Wu Hua couldn’t help but glance at the new reporter beside him.

The new reporter said: “It’s not me, it’s my sister.”

Mr. Tie sighed: “To be honest, the reporter is my daughter. I hope you can provide her with more care. She requires more game experience, which will depend entirely on your guidance from these top experts.”

Everyone nodded in unison. Cang Lang said: “No time to waste. Let’s depart now.”
