Chapter 440: Chapter 295: Mercenary Badge

...

No matter how Yan Xiaobao thought about it, this was beneficial for them. He nodded, indicating that he accepted the task. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"That’s fantastic!" Zhou Long said with an excited and joyful expression, "Hand me your Mercenary Badge." He continued, as Yan Xiaobao took out the golden badge from the Memory Stone, curious to see what would happen next.

Yan Xiaobao watched curiously as Zhou Long pressed the badge against his forehead. A wisp of blue light appeared, and Zhou Long handed it back to him.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao’s confused expression, Zhou Long decided to explain: "Don’t let Jinfeng fool you," he said with a laugh, "This is a Memory Stone, just like all other badges. What I just embedded into the stone were the details of your mission. This is a Dragon Army mission, recognized as an A-level task. I’ve upgraded you to B-level and even included your photo in your leadership profile."

Yan Xiaobao was stunned by what he heard. He squinted his eyes as these words made no sense to him.

"What is B-level?" he asked curiously.

"B-level means you have the authority to request assistance in every town, and they must obey you. The only people above you are each cave’s leaders, as well as the officials and elders of the Dragon Clan. If they wish to oppose you, they had better have a damn good reason."

Hearing that he was granted such considerable authority, Yan Xiaobao swallowed lightly. Everything he had hoped for was now within his grasp, but it also proved Zhou Long was not an ordinary member of the Dragon Army. To be able to grant such an upgrade, he must hold significant power.

Although Yan Xiaobao still harbored doubts about Zhou Long’s intentions, he expressed gratitude for the promotion, as the mission aligned perfectly with his goals. A genuine smile appeared on Yan Xiaobao’s face, and he nodded in affirmation.

"We’ll be leaving the town in a few days," Yan Xiaobao told Zhou Long, feeling that he should inform him of their plans. He thanked the elder and prepared to leave.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao intending to leave, Zhou Long didn’t make any moves to stop him. He wasn’t foolish—he was well aware that Yan Xiaobao didn’t trust him. What made this even clearer was that Zhou Yue always acted cautiously when discussing Zhou Long, and the man knew it.

From the very beginning, he showed partiality to ensure Yan Xiaobao would notice. Even now, he would go to great lengths to demonstrate his degree of approval toward the young boy. While this was indeed a risky gamble, it was a way to guarantee Yan Xiaobao could remember him later. If Yan Xiaobao recalled Zhou Long as someone who had helped him, then Zhou Long’s gamble would have paid off. Anyone who was useful to General Frozen would receive tremendous rewards.

Zhou Long sighed deeply, looking at the now-empty office, and leaned back. Picking up another batch of Memory Stones, a faint smile appeared on his face. Zhou Long pressed them against his forehead one by one, beginning to randomly select a group of mercenaries. As his hand rested on a poster that stated Yan Xiaobao was a wanted man, it noted that his companions were more valuable dead than alive.

Completely unaware of Zhou Long’s decisions, Yan Xiaobao walked back to the courtyard, happily whistling. His handsome, youthful face radiated excitement.

Now that he had received the mission from Zhou Long, they no longer needed to worry about how to move from one location to another. All of Yan Xiaobao’s previous concerns had vanished.

Though he still felt uncertain about Zhou Long, Yan Xiaobao knew they would soon escape his control. With the privileges he had just obtained, how could their path ahead be anything but smooth?

Overcome with excitement, Yan Xiaobao whistled eagerly, impatient to share the good news with his friends. He quickened his pace as he dashed through the town, eager to meet them as soon as possible.

"Are you going to provide information to the Dragon Army’s headquarters?" Xu Biao asked, staring at the young man before him in astonishment.

Seeing the surprised expression on Xu Biao’s face, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. He nodded while revealing his Mercenary Badge.

Upon seeing the badge, Xu Biao carefully pressed it against his forehead. The iconic glow of the Memory Stone shimmered, enveloping everyone present. As he read the mission details, Xu Biao’s eyes had already closed.

Unlike Yan Xiaobao, Xu Biao was highly aware of how Zhou Long could reach the final cave faster than Yan Xiaobao. Sending information via mercenaries was exceedingly rare, especially as these messages couldn’t always be relied upon.

Keeping this in mind, Zhou Long had consistently displayed partiality toward Yan Xiaobao, as though he knew something about the young man that Xu Biao did not. The Guild Master contemplated this briefly, giving Yan Xiaobao a searching look, seemingly hoping that the young man Zhou Long had noticed would realize it as well.

After spending some time observing Yan Xiaobao, the white-haired youth felt uncomfortable under the scrutiny. The Guild Master finally sighed and gave up his effort.

"It seems like the mission is quite remarkable," Xu Biao said with a sigh as he returned the golden badge. However, the expression on his face showed he didn’t entirely understand why Yan Xiaobao had been entrusted with such a mission.
