Chapter 23 The One Who Wanted To Team Up Was Actually… Her

Sister Chen Qian had long understood the evil deeds of the Wild Beast Hunters and knew that those guys were not so easy to deal with.

Even a proper investigator could not do anything to those Wild beast hunters!

So he was worried about the difficulty and danger of this three-star mission.

She wanted to persuade Su Ming not to take the risk, but he had already made up his mind.

Sister Chen Qian remembered that on the way here, she had already agreed to team up with Su Ming to complete the mission. Even though she was terrified, she still mustered up her courage and said to Su Ming, “Brother Su, I’ll do this mission with you!”

In any case, this trial mission to defeat the Beast Hunters required two people to form a team.

Su Ming could just pull her into the team.

How could Su Ming not see the worry and fear in Chen Qian’s heart? His expression was filled with nervousness, and his voice was trembling.

He knew that Chen Qian was being kind, but he still smiled and said, “You’d better listen to Mentor Qin and start with a simple mission! This mission is indeed difficult. As a boy, I can do whatever I want. As a young lady, don’t follow me into danger. I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you well when the time comes.”

Chen Qian thought about it and agreed. With her limited abilities, she could only release caterpillars and spit silk. If it really came to a dangerous moment, she would not be able to help Su Ming in battle at all. She might even drag him down.

However, she did not want to appear too timid and useless in front of Su Ming, so she hesitated and said, “Then why don’t I try a mission too? If my mission is more suitable than this mission to fight the Beast Hunters, Brother Su can do this mission with me.”

Su Ming thought that it was good. What if Chen Qian was lucky and got a seven-star mission?

He immediately agreed.

Chen Qian entered her grade name and pressed the mission draw button.

After a series of turns, the mission column finally froze.

Su Ming and Chen Qian looked over at the same time.

It showed a one-star mission.

Su Ming was speechless.

The Seven Star Trial Mission was indeed delusional!

Chen Qian looked at the mission and saw that it was very simple. It was especially suitable for a first-year girl like her.

But it was definitely not challenging for Su Ming

Su Ming said, “Accept it! We’ll do missions together next time.”

Chen Qian could only accept the mission.

When they clicked to accept the mission, they realized that they had to pay gold coins to accept the trial mission.

Chen Qian’s one-star mission cost three gold coins.

As for Su Ming’s three-star trial mission, it required ten gold coins.

Su Ming was speechless.

Evil capitalism, they even had to spend money to go on a mission!

The poor passerby, Su Ming, had already contracted the Netherstone bee. He planned to use it to make some Wild honey and sell it for money in the future.

But now, he had only contracted the Netherstone bee for less than two hours. Not to mention selling it, there was not even a trace of the Wild Honey!

Su Ming could not even take out a single gold coin!

Chen Qian paid for her trial mission. Seeing that Su Ming had yet to confirm the button to receive the gold coins, she thought that he was going to change his mind.

Unexpectedly, Su Ming turned to her with an embarrassed expression and said embarrassedly, “Ahem, um, Sister Chen Qian, can you… lend me 10 gold coins? I’ll return them to you in a few days.”

As the saying went, a penny could not defeat a hero, let alone ten gold coins now.

Su Ming felt that it was really difficult!

Fortunately, Chen Qian was very straightforward and helped Su Ming pay ten gold coins. She even said that he didn’t have to pay it back.

What a good girl!

After paying the gold coins and accepting the mission, he still needed to wait for the system to automatically match him with a teammate before he could officially begin the trial mission.

No one accepted Su Ming’s mission immediately, but Chen Qian’s one-star mission was quickly matched with teammates. They were probably all first-year students.

Her teammates would not wait for her, so Chen Qian said goodbye to Su Ming and went to meet up with her teammates to complete the mission.

Su Ming was waiting for another teammate in front of the mission panel.

He waited some more, but there was still no answer.

Su Ming thought to himself, Could it be that he couldn’t match up with his teammates?

At the same time, he guessed that even though this mission was only a three-star mission, it might not be as easy as he had imagined. Many students were unwilling to take the risk to accept this mission.

Just as he was worried that his first mission would be automatically canceled by the system because he could not match his teammates, he suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd.

It seemed that some remarkable character had arrived.

Su Ming turned around and saw the bustling crowd automatically opening up a path.

Luo Qingcheng, the first-year student of Sky Ridge, the only daughter of the principal, Luo Tianning, and the goddess in the eyes of the boys, slowly walked over from the crowd and stood in front of Su Ming.

Su Ming was speechless.

Ever since the end of the combat assessment for the new students in the small Barbarian Domain, Su Ming had not seen Luo Qingcheng again.

But he did hear her name every day.

The surrounding students, mentors, campus administrators, and so on were all discussing the principal’s daughter. They were talking about how she had been elected the school belle of Sky Ridge Academy with high votes, how she had followed the principal to an important event…

In short, everyone spoke of Luo Qingcheng with admiration.

Therefore, those who knew that he had bullied Luo Qingcheng during the freshman combat assessment gritted their teeth in hatred and wished they could beat him up immediately.

But what did Luo Qingcheng mean by that?

Surely she wasn’t going to gather her admirers to gang up on him? Su Ming immediately raised his guard, ready to run at any moment.

Even though he didn’t feel that he had bullied Luo Qingcheng in any way and that he had clearly saved her life.

That Netherstone bee egg was only a reward. He couldn’t let him work for nothing, right?

Despite his vigilant look, Luo Qingcheng did not show any signs of ordering everyone to surround him. Instead, she looked ready and said to Su Ming, “Let’s go!”

Su Ming was dumbfounded. “Go? Where are we going?”

Luo Qingcheng had an impatient expression on her face. She raised her chin and pointed at the mission panel behind Su Ming.

“To do a mission.”

Su Ming turned around and realized that someone had already accepted the mission and formed a team.

Su Ming looked at Luo Qingcheng in disbelief.

His teammate was actually her?

At this moment, Chen Qian, who had successfully gathered with her teammates, was about to head to the mission point with them.

She and everyone present heard what Luo Qingcheng said.

Luo Qingcheng would form a team with Su Ming to complete the very difficult and dangerous trial mission to defeat the Beast Hunters.

Chen Qian looked at the noble and cold Luo Qingcheng and lowered her head to bite her lip. She could not help but feel ashamed of her inferiority and admitted that she could not compare to Luo Qingcheng.

The surrounding students were even more envious of Su Ming.

How could this kid be so lucky to be matched with Luo Qingcheng for a mission?

Why did this kid seem so reluctant?

Was he looking for a beating?

Luo Qingcheng said to Su Ming, “Let’s go together!”
