Bai Xiu then replied:

Get to the point; don't ask if I'm available.

【…】

Gu Qian, sitting in her office chair in the distance, gritted her teeth when she saw this unyielding remark, maintaining her usual straight-man chatting style.

I had to take a deep breath to calm myself down.

Gu Qian had trouble sleeping last night. After all, Tian Shi was a big deal, and she was afraid that the other party would back out. So, she finally couldn't help but ask them to test the waters this morning.

Gu Qian tried to maintain a good mood and continued sending messages:

【Okay, okay, I'm working hard on the King Hunter's Arrow. I'll definitely get it done for you in two days. (Cute smile.)】

【I told you not to laugh, it's not as good-looking as my Heavenly Stone, didn't you listen at all?】

【…】

Gu Qian's body trembled, and she felt like throwing her phone.

Does this person even know how to chat?

"Gu Qian, what's wrong?" Li Miao asked, puzzled.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing." Gu Qian calmed herself down and tried to smile.

"Hmm?" Li Miao looked puzzled. Finally, she walked to Bai Xiu's side and muttered to herself, "Goddess Gu Qian seems a bit off today."

"Huh? Really?" Bai Xiu looked puzzled, indicating that he had no idea what the other person was talking about.

Li Miao looked at Gu Qian with a puzzled expression, but ultimately shook her head in confusion.

Bai Xiu casually made a few sarcastic remarks to Gu Qian, and after feeling pleased, he focused his attention on the Sandbox Town.

The town has acquired human-faced bee resources, but the transformation is not yet complete. The collection process should be finished by then.

"Xiao Xiu, Li Miao, come out and gather outside."

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Hongchao called out from outside the door.

Li Miao and Bai Xiu went outside together.

"Have a safe journey," Gu Qian encouraged the two of them.

Hearing this pleasant sound, Li Miao seemed to have even more motivation.

……

There were five people in total for this survey. Li Miao, Bai Xiu, and Zhao Hongchao met up first.

"Good luck! This is your first official data collection. Do your best. If you can gain the captain's approval, she will let you participate in more main team missions, and you will naturally earn more merits," Zhao Hongchao reminded Bai Xiu.

Bai Xiu nodded, indicating that he understood.

When Nightingale goes out to collect data, she always selects team members who are excellent and won't hold her back.

Bai Xiu is a newcomer, and this should be considered a trial period. Normally, Gu Qian would be chosen instead.

The sandbox will also pop up a notification at this time.

[Detection indicates that outdoor sampling is about to begin!]

[Sandbox Town is now in a state of readiness! Wind Chimes has temporarily suspended tavern operations, providing you with exclusive supplies. Up to five cups of Rock Wine can be produced daily for half a day, increasing your defense.]

[Captain Li Ye is in position and can summon the captain's squad, consisting of five people, at any time.]

Firefly has recovered from her injuries and is full of energy. She has drawn her sword and awaits the summons of the god.

[Every resident has an inescapable duty to cooperate with God in this battle!]

[Reminder: Summoning characters has a cooldown period. The rarer the character, the longer the cooldown period. Please use this feature wisely.]

"The whole town has come to life?" Bai Xiu was somewhat surprised.

The Sandbox Town has great potential. As the town's population and facilities increase, the combat power he can utilize will also gradually increase.

This time, we can look forward to the wilderness adventure.

Three minutes later, a cool-looking woman in a trench coat arrived. She carried two swords on her back and walked with an air of battle-hardened experience. This was Nightingale, the captain of Team Four and a core member of the team.

Behind her was a bespectacled girl who appeared introverted and shy; this was Nightingale's assistant, Tian Weiwei.

Nightingale appeared aloof, but her attitude was actually quite good. She first nodded to Zhao Hongchao and the others, then looked at Bai Xiu and smiled, "Congratulations on becoming a full member. Your name is Bai Xiu, right?"

"Yes, Captain." Bai Xiu nodded.

"What kind of otherworldly weapon did you obtain?"

"A day of blood rain," Bai Xiu said truthfully.

"Hmm? Why did you choose this? It doesn't seem very practical." Nightingale was slightly taken aback.

"Although Blood Rain Sky's attack isn't strong, it mainly depends on how you use it," Bai Xiu said with a smile.

Although the nightingale didn't quite understand what the "usage" meant, she didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, let's set off now. It's just routine data collection; we'll talk as we go."

Nightingale led Bai Xiu and the others into the patrol car, driven by her assistant Tian Weiwei.

"Everyone, remember to fasten your seatbelts. I'm not a very good driver," Tian Weiwei whispered a reminder.

"You're being modest. If your driving skills are bad, then no one else will be good at it," Zhao Hongchao joked.

Tian Weiwei felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

Her skills were indeed excellent; she reached the edge of the city in no time.

The distant army erected high city walls on the outskirts.

The city wall is dilapidated and stained with blood, with some sections broken, and even now there are workers in blue uniforms repairing it.

Clearly, the border defense is not peaceful at all.

Every border guard patrolled inside and outside the city wall with a serious expression, only allowing passage upon seeing the Firefly Division's exclusive vehicles and license plates.

As the car drove out of the city, Bai Xiu looked out the window and saw the scenery.

It looked similar to the wilderness of my previous life, only more desolate. The green trees in the forest were swaying in the wind, which did not bring comfort but instead made people feel anxious.

The car stopped, and everyone got out.

"We can only drive this far. The monsters are very sensitive to the movement of vehicles. We'll have to walk from here on out," Zhao Hongchao explained to Bai Xiu.

Bai Xiu nodded.

"Everyone, please pay attention. The target of this mission is the bioluminescent forest 30 kilometers ahead. Because there will be heavy rain in the next few days, it will be inconvenient to collect the bioluminescent flowers, so we need to collect more bioluminescent flowers this time," Nightingale said.

Grey River City consumes a large number of small light charms every night to dispel monsters, so the demand for its raw material, the Night-Shining Flower, is naturally high.

Bai Xiu and the others nodded and set off with Nightingale.

After walking for twenty minutes, we finally saw the first human-faced bee.

Its body is yellow, and it has the face of a strange middle-aged man. It looks extremely eerie and is currently flying aimlessly in the wild.

"Go around it," Nightingale commanded.

Everyone nodded and carefully bypassed the monster.

The kind-hearted elder brother Zhao Hongchao whispered to Bai Xiu, "The first rule when encountering monsters in the wild is to hide if you can, otherwise you won't have enough lives to spare. Since it has nothing to do with the mission objective, you don't need to worry about it."

"Be careful from now on, we're really entering Asano's territory. Stay close behind us."

Bai Xiu nodded, and was about to respond when he suddenly noticed that the Hive in his mind, which had been dark all along, suddenly lit up.
