Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

"Damn it!"

Xia An cursed under his breath, his expression turning slightly unpleasant.

These two men were carrying military binoculars, a compass, and a first-aid kit.

There was even a miniature radio transceiver in the backpack.

The identity is already obvious.

He took everything from the man, including the pistol, dagger, and spent bullet casings that had fallen earlier.

Immediately, he picked up the woman and prepared to leave.

But after glancing at the man's corpse, he still put it into his spiritual spring space.

As he casually tossed it into the woods, a strange thought stirred within him.

The man's body rapidly dissolved and disappeared into the woods.

It was as if it had been absorbed by the woodland.

Xia An blinked, slightly surprised, but didn't think much of it.

He carried the woman and ran quickly.

A moment later, they arrived at one of the dugouts they had encountered earlier.

Step inside,

He took all the woman's belongings, leaving her only her undergarments.

After confirming several times that she had no weapons, the capsule inside her teeth was also removed.

He then woke the woman up.

But the moment the woman woke up, Xia An's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.

However, the Heart-to-Heart Seal was triggered, and a message appeared in his mind:

Yelena Petrova – Resentment!

I hadn't reacted when I encountered this woman before, so I initially thought this skill was targeted at a specific individual.

So it turns out that the other party needs to be conscious!

But this resentment...

Xia An shook her head slightly. "Tell me, who are you people?"

Yelena glanced down at herself, her expression somewhat unpleasant, and said with a wry smile:

"Comrade, we're just two smugglers, there's really no need for this."

"Yeah?"

Xia An shook her head, her smile somewhat cold.

"Yelena, do you, a smuggler, need to hide drugs inside your teeth?"

Yelena's pupils contracted. "Comrade, what are you talking about?"

"My name is Ina Ivanova, and my identification is in my backpack."

"We are just people from the Far East, and we just want to make some money by smuggling."

"I can explain the drug possession, but we're just afraid of encountering people who don't believe us and resort to torture, and we don't want to suffer that pain."

Xia An sneered, "Yelena Petrova, are you going to confess on your own, or will I have to torture you into revealing the truth?"

Yelena's expression changed again, and she lowered her head, falling silent.

This is her real name, which she hasn't used for over a decade.

Even her partner was unaware of this, and she didn't have any identification on her.

Since this person knows, he probably already has information about her and has been staking her out for a while.

"Say something! Why are you silent?"

Xia An sneered.

Yelena looked up and sneered, "Since you already know, why ask me?"

"Since my mission has failed and my identity has been exposed, you can do whatever you want with me."

Xia An frowned and said coldly, "Tell me your mission, and who else is infiltrating, and I might spare your life."

"Oh,"

Yelena sneered, "No soldier of my great Russia is a coward."

"Besides, did you even believe what you said?"

Xia An shook her head, a hint of disappointment on her face, and sighed softly.

He really didn't intend to keep Yelena.

Although she is stunningly beautiful, there are still restrictions on how many times she can sign in.

For skin to be considered attractive, it needs to be flawless and not repulsive.

Intimate and special check-ins require the recipient to be willing or not to resist.

Given Yelena's resentment, there was absolutely no possibility of her signing in.

Keeping this person around will only cause him trouble; it's better to kill him to save trouble.

He sighed, "In that case, I'll see you off."

Without saying another word, he snapped her neck.

Yelena seemed surprised by Xia An's decisiveness, a hint of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

Perhaps she didn't expect Xia An to be so decisive, without even interrogating him?

Xia An sneered; he wouldn't leave himself with such a big problem.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out!

Yelena and the other woman died in these deep mountains. Who knows that he killed them?

The problem was immediately resolved.

Even if someone saw it, it was Xia Ming who killed him, what does it have to do with me, Xia An?

At worst,

I won't use this alias anymore.

Thinking this through, Xia An decided to tell Li Yuxue to keep quiet about what happened today when he got back.

He shook his head slightly, just about to throw Yelena's body into the forest of the Spirit Spring Space,

But then the system's ethereal voice suddenly rang in my mind:

"Congratulations, host, for triggering the hidden sign-in and successfully signing in for the first time. You have received 100 taels of gold, a vest, a pair of donkeys, fluency in Russian, and the ability to leave no trace in the snow."

"The item reward has been placed in your Spirit Spring Space. Please check it."

"Oh ho!"

Xia An casually tossed Yelena into the forest of the Spirit Spring Space, his face showing a blank expression.

"You can even sign in here?"

He murmured something, a hint of unexpected surprise on his face.

—System, what's with this hidden sign-in feature?

"Hidden sign-in, the fourth sign-in method of the system, will only be available to the host after the host triggers it for the first time."

"Killing a beautiful woman who has no special relationship with the host but harbors resentment towards the host will complete the hidden check-in."

"Please note: Hidden sign-in is limited to once per month. Host, please remain virtuous and refrain from committing murder!"

Upon hearing this, Xia An's lips curled into a slight smile.

To harbor resentment without any special relationship—isn't that the mark of someone from an enemy country?

What's wrong with killing some enemies for your country?

Xia An smiled and didn't think about it anymore.

He glanced at the spiritual spring space; the gold and the new vest were both stored in the warehouse.

The donkey calves are a male and a female, and they have been released into the pasture, which is going well.

He didn't look at the information about the vest in detail; he planned to check it when he got back.

Claim the skill reward.

Needless to say, he is fluent in Russian; he can speak standard Russian, and even Russian with regional accents, with ease.

After that, when encountering scouts or agents sent by Great Russia, there's no need to worry about not understanding their language.

However, the "Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace" skill looks quite good.

Leave no trace in the snow!

After use, you will feel as light as a feather and your travel speed will double.

Footsteps leave no trace in the snow; the snow surface is smooth and without footprints. Even leaping and landing leave no mark whatsoever.

Walking among the plants, one should not break branches or touch leaves, nor get covered in dead branches, debris, mud, or grass sap.

After passing through a place, all the scents left behind will disappear completely after ten seconds, thus avoiding the sense of smell of animals and the tracking of humans.

Without a trace or smell, as if traveling through thin air.

Each use can last up to one hour, and can be used again after a one-hour interval.

Passive effect: Walking along someone else's path can dispel all the scents they leave behind.

Xia An grinned. This is a pretty good skill!

He smiled, turned and left.

Using the "Snowflakes Leave No Trace" technique, I scouted the area and the vicinity of the previous incident site.

Only after confirming that there were no other suspicious persons present did he follow the trail left by Li Yuxue and leave.

Incidentally, to cover up the traces she left behind.
