The entire task was executed very efficiently.
As soon as Von Schneider submitted the list of mission specialists, everyone on the list received a text message notification from Norma.
"[Execution Department Notification] Dear Commissioner Raymond:"
This text message informs you that you have been assigned a mission by the Execution Department. Please proceed to the academy's internal airport within half an hour to meet up with the other specialists carrying out this mission and board the chartered plane.
For details regarding the task, please consult Professor von Schneider, the person in charge of this task. Please do not worry about your attendance and credits; the Executive Department has already requested leave from the relevant professors on your behalf.
—Sender: Norma
Given the complexity of this mission, Secretary Schneider took into account various factors when selecting the specialists.
Fingel is undoubtedly the one in charge of physical force.
Then there's Raymond, who's in charge of diplomacy. His Word of Power is Blazing Sun, and in terms of pure combat strength, he doesn't reach the level of a B-rank specialist. His advantage lies in his shrewdness and extremely strong insight.
The third person was Wan Boqian, who possessed the unique Word of Power "Bloodline Jieluo".
The Bloodline Cycle, a special and rare Word of Power originating from the Black King Nidhogg, enhances the sensitivity to dragon bloodlines when released, allowing for the wide-ranging screening of those with dragon blood.
Another point is that Wan Boqian's Chinese identity might provide unexpected benefits for her upcoming trip to China.
With this trio, plus the ten-person team already in China, we have enough in both quantity and quality.
As the "busy" head of the press department and head of the paparazzi team at Kassel College, Finger says he's very busy.
Having been demoted and held back at the university for many years, he had long since stopped performing his duties.
After his teacher, von Schneider, took over as head of the executive department, he also let his "beloved student" do as he pleased.
However, this "tacit understanding" that had lasted for many years was broken today.
From the moment they join the Executive Department, Executive Specialists automatically lose the right to refuse tasks.
While others could only learn about the mission details through Minister Schneider, Fingel had a unique method: he simply asked Norma directly.
"EVA, where are you going this time, and what mission are you on?"
Just as Schneider understood his student, Fingel was equally well aware of his teacher's character.
If it were a normal task, the other party would definitely not add him to the execution list.
"The mission is codenamed 'Holy Silver Crossbow,' and the details are that we need to attend an auction in a coastal city in China."
"So simple!?" Fingel's face showed a look of doubt.
It doesn’t make sense!
If that's the case, then it makes no difference whether he's there or not!
When it comes to wealth and power, what mixed-race organization in this world can compare to the Secret Party?
Once they get their hands on that so-called divine artifact, the Holy Silver Crossbow, and then announce the name of Kassel College on the spot, they'll surely find no one foolish enough to dare to challenge them!
Unable to find the answer from Norma, Fingel thought that perhaps he could only get it from his teacher, Schneider.
The mission will depart in half an hour.
He quickly tidied up his personal appearance, changed into a large black trench coat, and stepped out of the dormitory.
It's like that once spirited A-level genius, Fingel von Frings...
came back!
Chapter 31 The Ambitious Version of Chu Zihang
"Commissioner Raymond."
"To!"
"Specialist Wan Boqian".
"To!"
"Commissioner Fingel."
"Can we not go?!"
If he could, Fingel would be a million times unwilling to get involved in this mess.
Look at this lineup! The king of paparazzi only needs to glance at it to immediately recall all the information related to these two people.
Even Raymond, a guy with chest muscles big enough to crack walnuts, likes to wear brightly colored shorts and is skilled at knitting sweaters in his spare time—he's not a "macho man" at all!
Wan Boqian's words...
The evaluation is fairly average, because the Bloodline Jieluo's Word of Power makes him a prized asset in the Execution Department.
Sometimes, when a target is lost during a mission and cannot be found, we will consider sending them on field missions to find hidden hybrid targets.
Also in charge of this mission is von Schneider, who led the team.
Fingel said that even his own teacher wouldn't give him the respect he deserved, and that someone who needs to be on a ventilator all the time is being overrated, practically worthless.
Is it really "a man of honor" that such a team, which perfectly embodies the characteristics of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, is going to travel all the way to China to handle such a complex task?
So, before setting off, he still wanted to struggle a little.
Von Schneider, expressionless and indifferent, said, "Fingal, several professors have already complained to me about your behavior. If I remember correctly, your GPA is still insufficient this year. Do you want to be demoted again?"
Upon hearing this, Raymond and Wanboqian both looked at Fingel with the same curiosity they would have for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
The legend of this king of relegation had been circulating in the academy for a while, and today I finally got to see him in person.
"Teacher, I..."
"Alright, time is limited, so let's cut to the chase. I'll tell you the details of the mission after we board the plane."
After saying that, von Schneider took the lead and boarded the plane that the academy had arranged in advance, with the others following closely behind.
Next, this plane will travel across the ocean to that great Eastern power on the other side.
……
"Uncle Chu, I'm back!"
After a busy day, Cao Han returned to Chu Tianjiao's secret hideout in the unfinished building.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Chu Tianjiao had a guilty look in his eyes when they met.
"You must be a dog, right? I just finished cooking and I came back because I could smell the food!"
It's hard to imagine that this man, who once dominated the mixed-race community in his youth, would now be walking into the kitchen. What's most eye-catching is his pink apron with a "Pleasant Goat" pattern printed in the middle.
It can only be said that meeting a good man once can ruin one's life, and from then on, it's hard to give one's heart to another!
After meeting Su Xiaoyan, the playboy Chu Tianjiao gradually transformed into a good family man who is both capable in the kitchen and presentable in public!
Sacrificing one's own interests for the greater good—that's called righteousness!
Cao Han couldn't do it, nor was he willing to. Sometimes being a little selfish makes life more comfortable.
The small dining table was soon filled with five dishes and a soup, an unusually lavish spread.
Just as Cao Han was asking curiously, the door was opened, and the mystery was revealed at the same time. The person who came out was Chu Zihang, who was wearing the uniform of Shilan Middle School.
Good guy!
He's got a big heart too!
Returning from a major event did not affect Chu Zihang's studies as usual, even though he had always been among the top students.
This explains why Chu Tianjiao, the old man, personally cooked in an attempt to salvage his image in front of his son.
"Am I being a bit redundant?" Cao Han asked, feigning ignorance.
The father and son rarely see each other; what right does he have to get involved?
If I had known earlier, I should have let Chen Yu get an advance payment during the Yutong auction. It wouldn't have been much, just ten or twenty million to buy a house as a place to stay.
"How could that be? Uncle Chu would absolutely welcome you 100%! You can stay as long as you want, no problem!" Chu Tianjiao practically patted his chest to guarantee it.
Cao Han was somewhat embarrassed. "Then let's not. Uncle Chu, you only have one bed here. It would be really awkward for me to keep taking up this one."
If you're going to carry out a secret mission, then you should hide your identity. But is it really necessary to hide him along with you?
To put it bluntly, the only people in the world who know Cao Han are the Chu family father and son.
As for Chu Tianjiao's concerns, Cao Han thought they were somewhat akin to "PTSD," as he worried that Odin would relentlessly pursue him again after leaving Nibelungen.
The fact that Chu Tianjiao was able to leave Nibelungen alive is already a change from the original plot.
As for whether this will trigger a butterfly effect...
Cao Han said he hadn't thought that much about it; in short, he would deal with whatever came his way.
After the system upgrade, he had another way to become stronger: completing hunting missions would grant him free attribute points.
A 1-star difficulty level only grants 5 free attribute points; it is currently unclear how many free attribute points the highest difficulty level, 5-star, will grant.
Even with a 1-star difficulty hunting mission, accumulating small gains every week will greatly improve your strength!
After thinking it over, Cao Han told Chu Tianjiao his decision: "Uncle Chu, I will leave in three days after I get the money."
There's an old saying: "If you save people but lose land, you can save both people and land; if you save land but lose people, you can lose both people and land!"
Hypothetically speaking! I mean, hypothetically speaking, if Odin, that old man Bitden, really does not have any martial ethics and finds you again, then some things should be given up. Survival is the most important thing. As long as you're alive, you can always rebuild!
Zihang must think so too!
Taking this opportunity, Cao Han decided to speak his mind.
He couldn't openly say that he was actually a time traveler who knew the plot well and that the other party was carrying out a secret mission to protect the Black King's embryonic egg. He could only use a more subtle and roundabout way of speaking.
"..."
Chu Tianjiao appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inwardly he was screaming, "Why don't you just give me your ID number already?!"
Since he didn't know exactly how much Cao Han knew, to be honest, he was genuinely a little panicked at the moment!
Facial expressions can be controlled with training, but the eyes are the windows to the soul and cannot be faked, unless you're wearing colored contact lenses.
Cao Han could see a hint of panic in Chu Tianjiao's eyes. In that case, let's leave this persuasion here.
After eating and drinking.
