Chapter 307 The Group's Mission

When Li Ang first heard Mazresh's words, he thought that the other party wanted to test his strength in a real battle.

However, upon learning of his thoughts, the red dragon couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"Which one of the people here do you want to challenge? Or are you going to have us grab some random trash outside and let you show off your strength?" As he spoke, Mazresh climbed down from the platform and began to slowly circle around Li Ang: "Apart from the core players cultivated by the major powers, ordinary professionals are no match for you in the fifth level. We don't need to waste our time on this."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang glanced at the platform subconsciously, then nodded obediently.

He was indeed no match for these seventh-level dragons.

Honglong didn't pay attention to his little tricks, and simply said, "There just happens to be a task within the group that's perfect for testing us. Why don't you go and do it for us?"

Before Li Ang could even ask what the mission was, Randolph seemed to have thought of something and said in a very serious tone, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

“You have to give something to get something.” Mazrese scoffed at his words. “Besides, that matter is related to both of our branches. Isn’t it a perfect test?”

"Or do you have a better solution?"

Faced with the questioning, Randolph fell silent for a moment.

Seeing his reaction, Li Ang frowned slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

After all, a task that can give a seventh-level brass dragon a headache is definitely not an easy one.

However, if it's beyond his capabilities, he will refuse directly.

Li Ang really wanted the resources offered by [AIO Logistics], but he wasn't about to risk his life for such a small reward.

Thinking this, he calmly asked, "May I ask what the mission is, Lord Mazresh? I'd like to make some preparations in advance."

“Simple.” The red dragon grinned, a hint of cruelty in his eyes. “A few days ago, [Giant God Heavy Industries] placed an order with us, but those useless people at the Bahamut branch were attacked while delivering the goods and lost a lot of manpower. The members of the Tiamat branch who went to investigate later also lost contact. I need you to lead the team to find out what happened.”

"."

Li Ang immediately wondered if he had misheard.

Someone in the main universe actually dared to hijack goods from [Io Logistics] and [Giant God Heavy Industries]? That's incredibly audacious!
However, he quickly realized that this was probably the thing that Emerald Dragon Chimera had mentioned before entering the meeting hall, the thing that had made Mazrese feel uneasy.

Seeing that Li Ang remained silent, Mazresh lowered his head and asked in a slightly mocking tone, "What? Scared?"

"If you don't want to take on this task, then just honestly choose a department to join and stop making such unrealistic requests."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang snapped out of his daze.

At this moment, he felt not fear, but rather curiosity.

Having been in this world for so long, this was his first time dealing with [Giant God Heavy Industries], unlike the other four global giants who had already made contact with them much earlier.

In addition, he recently gained three mechanical gods in the world of High School DxD, and there might be unexpected gains if he goes to this global giant that produces mechanical professionals.

Thinking this through, Li Ang ignored Mazrese's sarcasm and instead asked, "What is [Giant God Heavy Industries] planning to do? Are they going to conduct the investigation together with us?"

Before Red Dragon could answer the question, Randolph, who was on the high platform, said, "Since the problem occurred during transportation, we will be mainly responsible for this investigation. However, [Giant God Industries] will also send personnel to cooperate."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "However, I still hope you will consider this carefully. Based on our judgment, things here are probably not that simple."

In the past, [AIO Logistics] has lost goods before, after all, there are plenty of clueless space pirates in this universe.

However, the vast majority of them were eventually approached by the Tiamat branch and given a friendly greeting; only a few were able to evacuate with millions of dollars.

But a space pirate who dares to provoke two global giants at the same time is a rare sight in Randolph's extremely long life.

Even whether the other party is a space pirate is questionable.

Faced with the brass dragon's persuasion, Li Ang shook his head slightly and declined his kindness: "Thank you for your concern, but I should be able to handle this task."

Based on Mazresh's previous performance, he didn't think the other side would assign him a mission that was bound to result in certain death.

Moreover, even if he makes a wrong judgment, Seth, a senior figure in the group, will definitely offer a word of advice.

Moreover, even if unexpected situations arise, as long as it's not a seventh-level energy level that makes a move, he should have no problem escaping when he's in the full state of [Hundred Avatars - Divine Manifestation], and he'll even have a high probability of clashing with his opponent.

Seeing that he had made his decision, Randolph stopped trying to persuade him: "Since you have your own ideas, let's talk about the compensation."

"remuneration?"

Li Ang was taken aback. He thought this was just a simple assessment and that his salary would be paid after he officially joined [Aio Logistics].

“You work for the group, so the group naturally needs to pay you.” Seeing that Li Ang seemed a little confused, Randolph said matter-of-factly, “[AIO Logistics] is not a black-hearted company, and besides, His Majesty AIO doesn’t care about this little bit of profit within the group.”

"."

Li Ang always felt that the brass dragon on the high platform was ordering food from Meituan or Ele.me before he transmigrated, since anyone who had ever worked as a food delivery driver knew how unscrupulous these platforms were.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "I'd like to access some confidential information within the company. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, the black dragon on the high platform, belonging to the Farazul branch, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't worry, little guy. If you can really complete this mission, the group's intelligence channels will be open to you anyway, so we can change the terms."

Is there such a good thing?

Li Ang was somewhat surprised, not expecting this to be a new employee benefit.

But this means he'll have to think carefully about what he wants.

Just as he was pondering this, Mazresh flicked a gold coin to the ground: "If you really don't know what you want, you can choose this as your reward."

“Under normal circumstances, employees would choose this gold coin as a reward, so it can be considered a hard currency within the group.”

Looking at the enormous gold coin in front of him, which was taller than a person, Li Ang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

This gold coin clearly shows signs of handling, it's hard to tell whether it was used more as hard currency or as a mattress.

Suppressing his wild thoughts, Li Ang tentatively asked, "If one wishes to travel to the other world controlled by His Majesty Aio, what price must be paid?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, all the dragons present were stunned, clearly not expecting Li Ang to make such a request.

After a brief silence, Randolph asked with some curiosity, "Which world are you talking about, little one? His Majesty Aio controls more than just one world."

"." Yes, since the Federation and the Empire can control so many worlds, there's no reason why the Gods Above Gods, who can infiltrate the main universe, would only control one D&D world.

Thinking this, Li Ang quickly added, "It's the world where the planet Toril is located."

"You're going to Faerûn?"

"Uh-huh."

Seeing Randolph's somewhat surprised expression, Li Ang hesitated before nodding.

Faerûn is the center of the planet Toril, and well-known locations like Baldur's Gate are situated on the continent of Faerûn.

However, he didn't want to go to Faerûn; he wanted to go to the Abyss to see if he could become a Abyss Lord.

Since it was unclear what the dragons of [AIO Logistics]'s attitude was toward the Abyss, Li Ang felt it was best not to reveal his true intentions rashly.

After all, the five-colored dragons probably wouldn't have any ideas, but the metal dragons and gem dragons...
On the contrary, that supreme god probably wouldn't care about his little tricks. After all, as long as it doesn't endanger the entire [Kingdom of Heaven], that is, the crystal wall system where Planet Toril is located, the other party will most likely be too lazy to bother with him.

'I wonder if the 'Abyss' mentioned by the [Abyss Composite Demon] is related to the [Bottomless Abyss].'

Just as Li Ang was thinking this, Randolph scratched the metal scales on his cheek: "I don't know if His Majesty Aio will agree, so I can't give you an answer right now, little guy."

"But if you'd like, I can ask for your permission."

"If His Majesty Aio doesn't agree, you can change your terms then, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ang immediately nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Randolph."

This is undoubtedly the best-case scenario, since even if he can't go to the D&D world, he won't lose anything.

At this moment, Mazresh said, "Hehe. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. As a reward for not letting me down, you can freely choose the people who will accompany you on this mission."

"However, it must include one Tiamat branch member and one Bahamut branch member."

Although the Red Dragon has acknowledged Li Ang's strength, he is still not a formal member of [AIO Logistics], so it is impossible for him to complete this task alone.

However, after hearing Mazresh's words, Li Ang's expression turned strange.

With a hint of inquiry in his eyes, he quietly turned his head to look at Seth.

After seeing the other party nod almost imperceptibly, he replied, "Then thank you very much, Lord Mazresh."

If it were someone else, they might have just hastily chosen some strangers, but Li Ang actually had a suitable candidate.

Elise, Sophia.

Needless to say, the little dragon does whatever Li Ang tells it to do. And after spending some time together, the old driver will obviously also obey Li Ang's orders in a way that isn't too excessive.

"It's up to you to decide." Mazresh waved his paw, appearing completely indifferent. "Alright, you can go now."

Now that the Red Dragon had gotten the answer he wanted, he naturally wouldn't force Li Ang to stay.

Upon hearing this, Li Ang and Seth exchanged a glance, then turned to leave the circular conference hall.

Just as the two were about to step out of the hall, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

“Wait a minute, little guy. Now that we’ve finished the important business, let’s talk about some personal matters.” It was Randolph, whose brass dragon was now staring intently at Li Ang. “Although you’re quite young, you must have experienced quite a lot, right?”

"Tell me about all the thrilling and exciting adventures you've had."

As is well known, the brass dragon has an almost obsessive passion for stories, and Randolph is no exception.

Geniuses like the little dragon cub below often have experiences far beyond those of ordinary people, which he was very curious about. That's why he had previously ordered Seth to bring the other party here.

Faced with this sudden request, Li Ang finally understood why Seth had reminded him to prepare more water.

He instinctively looked at the other person, but only received a helpless look in return.

Fortunately, Li Ang has plenty of stories to tell. At worst, he can tell Randolph "The Legend of the Sportsman Boxer." He just doesn't know if Randolph can accept such an earth-shattering plot as "The Strongest of Our Time vs. The Strongest of All Time."
With some indescribable thoughts in mind, Li Ang flew to the side of the bronze dragon and began to slowly recount the story in his mind.

……

Black rocks are exposed on the earth, and streaks of eerie red firelight shine through the cracked surface.

Magma flowed slowly through the cracks, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Elise walked cautiously through this extremely harsh environment, as if danger could suddenly appear at any moment.

'Woo Li Ang'

Thinking of its owner, the little dog Long let out a pitiful whimper, then took out a large white metal block to comfort its wounded belly and heart.

Just as she was about to swallow the metal block, a slightly mocking voice suddenly came from not far away: "You're still the same as ever, Elise."

However, Elise ignored the voice and swallowed the metal block directly, then patted her belly with great satisfaction.

Seeing that she was being ignored, the owner of the voice was clearly angry: "Elise!"

Even so, Elise ignored the other person and walked straight in the direction she remembered.

At this moment, the owner of the voice clearly lost his composure, but then he seemed to realize something and couldn't help but sneer, "No wonder your mother starved to death; it seems you ate all the food."

Before he could finish speaking, he was pinned to the ground by a dark, sharp claw.

Looking at the struggling black dragon at her feet, Elise said very seriously, "My mother didn't starve to death."

"Waaah!"

At this moment, Black Dragon's eyes were filled with disbelief, after all, he hadn't even seen the action of the person he was mocking before he was pressed to the ground.

As Elise's claws tightened, the disbelief in the black dragon's eyes gradually turned into fear.

Is this idiot dragon really planning to kill himself?!

　I've been working through my thoughts during the day; there should be one more chapter to go.
