69: Chapter 69 Doing the Mission
There is also a headquarters for the Adventurers Alliance?
Just how exaggerated would their facilities be?
Of course, if one wants to enter the Alliance's training rooms, one must first accept their conditions and officially join the Alliance.
Just as Yao Dong was explaining the training rooms.
Another person walked into the living room, coming from the direction of the kitchen.
It was a woman with a lazy expression, wearing a loose, long shirt that reached just above her knees, with long green hair covering half her face.
She was carrying a plate of food in one hand and a drink in the other.
Seeing the two people in the living room, she swept a casual glance over them, her gaze lingering on Lin Fan for a moment longer.
"Who is this?"
She asked in a sleepy tone.
"He is Lin Fan, a new member of our squad."
Yao Dong patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and introduced him.
"Oh, I see. Welcome to the squad; if you need anything, find someone else."
After the woman finished speaking to Lin Fan, she turned and walked toward the dining room.
For some reason.
Lin Fan always felt that her real meaning was: don't come to me if you have problems, handle it yourself.
He watched her retreating back with some curiosity.
This person dressed casually, acted languidly, and didn't care about her image at all.
"Is she also a Tier 2 Mage... It seems she has a lot of confidence; no one dares to provoke her easily."
Lin Fan secretly judged her cultivation level.
She was also very beautiful, and the sight of her wearing only a long shirt could easily make people let their imaginations run wild.
However, in Lin Fan's heart, Aunt Mi Xue was still better looking.
"Who is she?"
After the woman walked away, Lin Fan asked Yao Dong.
"Her name is Ge Ying. Don't mind her attitude; she's always like this."
"But don't let your imagination run wild just because she's cold; she has no interest in men, and she is a Lightning-type Mage. Several men both inside and outside the squad have been shocked by her, and she is very strong."
Yao Dong reminded him with a serious face.
Lin Fan nodded earnestly, taking these words to heart.
The two continued chatting.
More and more squad members returned to the living room, some coming back from outside.
Everyone who saw Lin Fan cast curious glances his way, and Yao Dong introduced him one by one, saying he was the new member.
Before long, Lin Fan had met everyone in the squad.
It was as if someone had specifically notified them to rush back.
In the crowd, Lin Fan even recognized the rugged-looking man... When he was previously using the identity of "Chen Ping," it was he who came to recruit him.
Lin Fan could also tell that this squad hadn't had any new members join in a long time.
Upon learning he was a newcomer, everyone was very enthusiastic and immediately put on the appearance of kind seniors.
Of course, except for Ge Ying.
She wasn't exactly happy about his arrival, but she wasn't angry either.
As for the overall strength of the squad... Lin Fan didn't want to admit it, but he had to acknowledge that it was on the weaker side.
Most of the members were only First-Order Mages.
Only a few people, like Yao Dong and Ge Ying, had reached Tier 2 Mage.
In the entire squad, only Aunt Mi Xue was a Tier 3.
"Sigh, it can't be helped."
Lin Fan sighed lightly in his heart.
He had originally only come here to act as a cover, and to earn some money to pay off his debts.
Several members stayed in the living room to chat with Yao Dong and Lin Fan.
Upon learning that Lin Fan was a Space Element, they were all just as shocked as Yao Dong had been earlier.
"Lin Fan, are you going to live here from now on?"
Someone asked.
Lin Fan shook his head; he still had to go to the academy for classes, so he would only come over after school and return home at night.
Just then, Aunt Mi Xue walked down from upstairs.
"There is a mission. Lin Fan, Qiao Yu, Fang Lu, the three of you together."
Her gaze swept across the living room and finally landed on someone eating in the dining room,
"Ge Ying, you go too; go change your clothes."
Ge Ying's movements paused; she even forgot to chew the food in her mouth and looked up at Aunt Mi Xue.
Anyone could see that she was very unhappy.
"I'm still eating."
She protested.
"It's fine, you can take it and eat on the way."
Aunt Mi Xue smiled brightly.
A trace of helplessness appeared on Ge Ying's face; her gaze swept across the faces of the people in the living room and finally returned to Aunt Mi Xue.
"Why me? I didn't come back from a mission long ago."
She complained with a face full of gloom.
"I know. Hurry up and change your clothes; if we set off earlier, we can come back earlier."
After Aunt Mi Xue finished speaking, she walked to the sofa and sat down, making it clear that she intended to wait for her.
The gloom in Ge Ying's eyes deepened; clearly, Aunt Mi Xue had no intention of listening to any of her excuses.
With no other choice, she could only carry her food and stand up to leave.
Lin Fan watched with a bewildered expression.
Even he found it strange; there were clearly other Tier 2 Mages in the squad—Yao Dong was one—so why did Aunt Mi Xue specifically name Ge Ying?
Aunt Mi Xue noticed his expression and chuckled from across the living room.
"Don't mind her; she's just lazy and avoids work whenever she can. By the way, this is your first mission; are you nervous?"
Lin Fan didn't know how to answer. He could pretend to be nervous, but he didn't feel that way at all.
So he didn't answer and instead asked about the details of the mission.
"I'll tell you on the way."
After Aunt Mi Xue finished speaking, she leaned back against the chair and closed her eyes to rest.
Lin Fan was speechless for a moment.
"You'll get used to it gradually. Remember to stick close to us during the mission."
Yao Dong said this to him in a low voice and then stood up to leave the living room.
Lin Fan looked at the two people not far away... a boy with spiky hair and a girl with short hair; they were exactly Qiao Yu and Fang Lu.
Yao Dong had introduced them earlier, and he still remembered.
"Three First-Order Mages, one Tier 2 Mage, plus her... This mission shouldn't be dangerous."
Lin Fan judged inwardly.
Because his aura was suppressed to that of a First-Order Mage.
In the eyes of others, he, Fang Lu, and Qiao Yu were all Tier 1, Ge Ying was Tier 2, and Aunt Mi Xue was the strongest combat force in the squad.
Before long, Ge Ying came downstairs, having already changed her clothes.
A black short jacket, an inner top, blue jeans, and brown ankle boots.
But her face still had the words "Don't bother me" written all over it.
As soon as she arrived, Aunt Mi Xue stood up and walked toward the door.
"Let's go."
The others immediately followed, and Lin Fan walked among them.
"Be careful!"
"Stick close to the captain; don't act on your own."
"Don't get hurt!"
The squad members in the living room urged them one after another.
After Lin Fan thanked them, he followed everyone out.
Once outside, Aunt Mi Xue told Qiao Yu to drive.
Qiao Yu had no objections and walked straight to the driver's seat.
Aunt Mi Xue and Ge Ying sat in the back row.
Lin Fan could only sit in the passenger seat, side by side with Qiao Yu.
"Jixiang District."
Aunt Mi Xue announced the destination.
Qiao Yu immediately started the car.
Jixiang District was another area of Baiyun City.
It wasn't far from the Wave Squad headquarters, and they would arrive soon.
On the way, Aunt Mi Xue finally explained the mission.
It turned out that a warehouse in Jixiang District had been occupied by magical beasts.
It was discovered by workers a few days ago.
After investigation.
These magical beasts were ant-type magical beasts, all of them common grade.
They burrowed underground to build nests and came out from time to time to forage for food.
This type of magical beast would not actively hunt humans.
But as long as someone approached, they would launch an attack, which was how the warehouse workers managed to escape.
