Wang Zhi handed the magnetic card to Jia Liuli and told her that this item was very important, equivalent to an identity card from before.
“Hmm, where are the other classmates?”
Jia Liuli took the magnetic card and asked.
“Don’t worry, they are all safe here and have their own tasks to do. From now on, you are part of our team, so you should learn from Sister Ying.”
Wang Zhi patted Jia Liuli’s head and replied.
To avoid unnecessary burdens on Jia Liuli’s mind, Wang Zhi gave a vague response regarding the others.
On the way back to their rooms, Wang Zhi explained the various rules of the Dawn Tower to Jia Liuli.
“That 1,000 survival points must be very valuable, right?”
After listening to Wang Zhi’s explanation, Jia Liuli understood that survival points were equivalent to money here. She had noticed the significant changes in Wang Zhi and the others’ expressions when they were asked to pay 1,000 survival points upon joining.
“It’s just a string of numbers. What’s so valuable about it?”
Wang Zhi walked ahead, speaking indifferently.
“Wang team, that’s equivalent to ten lives.”
The chubby man following behind suddenly added.
Wang Zhi stopped in his tracks upon hearing this and turned to stare at the chubby man, unsure if he was genuinely clueless or just pretending to be.
“Uh, why are you all looking at me? I’m just speaking the truth.”
The chubby man said innocently.
When Wang Zhi turned to look at Jia Liuli, he found her eyes slightly red, standing silently to the side.
“Hehe, little sister, don’t take it too seriously. Since we were willing to pay, it means you’re worth it. Don’t listen to that dead fatty.”
Just as Wang Zhi was at a loss for words, Ying walked over and comforted Jia Liuli while hugging her.
Jia Liuli didn’t act pretentious. She simply nodded with red eyes.
“Hey! You can call me Fatty, but don’t add ‘dead’ to it, okay?”
On their way back, news of Wang Zhi and his team returning from outside had already spread. Many people who recognized them came forward to ask about the situation outside. However, Wang Zhi remained silent. The reason was simple—information had value. If they wanted to know, they had to pay.
Wang Zhi led the team back to the B-area rooms.
“Ah! This familiar feeling! I’m going to sleep for a whole day first!”
The chubby man threw himself onto the bed closest to the entrance.
The room was spacious and well-organized. Wang Zhi arranged for Jia Liuli to sleep next to Ying since women might face certain inconveniences, and it was good for them to look after each other.
“Everyone, take half an hour to rest. I’m going to the trading hall for a bit. We’ll meet at the dining hall in half an hour.”
After saying this, Wang Zhi left the room.
Wang Zhi skillfully made his way to the trading hall and approached the trading counter, presenting his identity card.
“Hello, I’m here to sell intelligence.”
The staff at the counter took the card, checked the records, and said, “Please edit the information yourself and upload it to the system. Additionally, the Dawn Tower system charges a 10% transaction fee.”
“That’s fine.”
Wang Zhi then typed up the intelligence report on the computer in front of him.
Title: Summary of the Outing Operation
Content:
After editing, Wang Zhi submitted the information. Once it passed system review, it would be displayed in the trading system.
While submitting the intelligence, Wang Zhi also browsed other listings. The variety of information available was intriguing—ranging from detailed reports on teams to private photos of specific individuals.
Just as he was scrolling through the information, footsteps approached from behind. Wang Zhi turned around and saw Captain Jiexi.
“What a coincidence, Captain Jiexi. Are you here for a trade too?”
Wang Zhi greeted her proactively.
“I came here specifically to find you. Follow me.”
Jiexi said expressionlessly before turning and walking away.
Wang Zhi was already used to Jiexi’s cold demeanor, so he had no choice but to follow her…
The two arrived at the office of the security department. Jiexi sat at her desk and pointed at the couch beside her.
“Sit!”
“I didn’t expect you all to return safely. It surprised me a little.”
“Haha, just lucky. Thanks to you, Captain Jiexi.”
Wang Zhi replied humbly.
“Tell me about your mission process and conclusions.”
Jiexi ordered.
“Here’s what happened…”
Wang Zhi explained everything that had happened after they landed.
After listening to his report, Jiexi remained silent for a while before speaking.
“Hmm… it seems the situation was worse than I expected. I heard you recruited a refugee into your team?”
“Yes, the girl we rescued during this mission.”
“Alright, I understand. You can leave now.”
“I’m actually about to go eat. Didn’t I say before that I’d treat you to a meal when we got back? How about now?”
Wang Zhi invited her. He still remembered how helpful Jiexi had been when she gave them the school map.
“Heh, I didn’t think you’d still remember. But forget it, I didn’t help you just for a meal.”
Jiexi refused.
“Of course! If Captain Jiexi wanted a meal, there would be a long line of people waiting to treat you. But I genuinely want to invite you to eat.”
Wang Zhi pressed on.
Jiexi looked up at Wang Zhi and said, “Alright then.”
In the dining hall.
“I say, did Wang team ditch us? Should we just order first? Why are you all so quiet?”
At the table, the chubby man was looking at the three silent people, speaking out of boredom.
“Wang team really left us hanging. He said half an hour, but it’s been almost an hour now. I might as well have stayed in the room and slept.”
The chubby man continued complaining when Wang Zhi’s voice suddenly came from behind.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, something came up.”
“Jie… Captain Jiexi? Please, have a seat!”
The chubby man turned around and immediately made room upon seeing that Wang Zhi had brought Captain Jiexi with him.
“As I mentioned before, I promised to treat Captain Jiexi to a meal, so I invited her today.”
“We meet again.”
Jiexi greeted the others before sitting down next to Jia Liuli. The moment Jiexi sat down, Jia Liuli’s body trembled slightly for a moment but quickly returned to normal.
Ying and Lao He also nodded respectfully—Jiexi had left a good impression on them.
“Captain Jiexi, do you have any food preferences?”
Wang Zhi asked while looking at the menu.
Jiexi shook her head, indicating that she was fine with anything.
