When Chen Nian heard the last sentence from the Demon Eye, her heart stirred slightly.

She had only asked casually, but to her surprise, the Demon Eye actually gave a positive answer: Sequence Five is the Nascent Soul.

The framework was more complete than she had expected, as if a clear route was gradually unfolding before her, with each step's form and name already having a corresponding position.

Great, now you know what to do.

The Demon Eye seemed to sense her thoughts and added, "However, the Nascent Soul of Sequence Five is still somewhat different from the Nascent Souls described in novels."

"Take care of Sequence 6 first before thinking about the rest. Don't be too ambitious."

Chen Nian smiled, did not refute, and withdrew her consciousness from the depths of her mind.

About two hours later, someone from the command tent came to inform Chen Nian that the filing procedures had been completed and the independent organizational authority had been activated. Chen Nian was to go to the lieutenant colonel to collect the official confirmation letter.

Chen Nian stood up, walked out of the tent, and followed the dirt road back to the command tent.

When the lieutenant colonel saw her come in, he took a stamped confirmation form from his drawer, placed it on the table, and pushed it over: "The archiving is complete. Your organizational information has been entered into the system. You can now view the permissions for the independent task pool through the terminal."

Chen Nian took the confirmation letter, glanced at the contents, and after confirming that the information was correct, folded it and put it in her pocket. There were also several gold logos of the special operations team next to it.

Chen Nian put the team logo back up before preparing to thank them.

At this moment, the lieutenant colonel sat back down in his chair, picked up the glass of water, and took a sip: "The independent mission pool is updated daily, and the mission difficulty and rewards are clearly marked."

"You can choose whether or not to accept the task, but please note that if there are delays or failures after accepting the task, it will be recorded and will affect your subsequent task access level."

"If a task fails due to exceeding the specified time limit after submission, the final reward will be reduced proportionally. In severe cases, it may also affect the eligibility to accept higher-level tasks in the future."

"Understood," Chen Nian said.

The lieutenant colonel nodded, then looked down and continued flipping through the documents in his hand, showing no intention of speaking again.

After thanking him, Chen Nian turned and left the command tent, walking back along the dirt road.

She hadn't walked two steps when she saw several girls waiting for her by the roadside.

When Chen Nian saw them standing by the roadside, she paused slightly.

Chen Nian walked over, pulled the confirmation letter out of her pocket, and waved it in front of them: "It's approved. We're an independent organization, and they even issued team badges."

As she spoke, she took the gold team badges out of her pocket, let them gleam in the sunlight, and then gave one to each of them.

Su Wanqing took the team badge, looked down at the pattern on it, then looked at it again before pinning it to the edge of her collar.

Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue each accepted the gift and fastened it.

After receiving the team logo, Fang Anya did not immediately pin it on. She first examined and confirmed the workmanship of the edges and the details of the pattern before pinning it to the lapel of her coat.

"The mission pool is now viewable." Chen Nian put away the confirmation letter. "Go back to the tent first, check your equipment, and then choose a target based on the mission list."

As she spoke, she noticed that Su Wanqing had already picked up the strap of the kukri, and asked, "Why are you all out here?"

"You've been gone for so long, come out and take a look," Su Wanqing said, rearranging the straps of her suspenders. "And stretch your legs a bit, you've been sitting all morning."

Chen Nian didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back along the dirt road. The others followed, their footsteps echoing rhythmically on the compacted dirt road.

After returning to the rest tent, the group gathered together.

Back in the rest tent, the group sat down in their respective spots, forming a loose semicircle.

Su Wanqing placed the dog-leg knife on her knees, and Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue also sat down. Fang Anya sat down in a seat further inside and adjusted her posture.

Chen Nian sat down on the edge of the bed by the door, took out her terminal, and opened the interface of the independent mission pool. The screen's light illuminated the tent, revealing her silhouette.

The task pool interface is simpler than expected. The list is arranged from high to low difficulty and reward. Each task indicates the target type, estimated duration, risk level and reward range.

Chen Nian quickly scanned the text from top to bottom, her gaze lingering on the top few lines for a moment.

The common features of these missions are high difficulty, long routes, and long duration, but the rewards are also significantly higher than those of mid-to-low-level missions, such as those prepared for squads with full independent operational capabilities.

Su Wanqing leaned closer, glanced at the screen, and her gaze fell on one of the tasks: "How about this one? The route is clear, the target type is the same type of nest we've dealt with before, and the reward looks pretty high."

Chen Nian glanced in the direction she pointed. The mission description was indeed clearly written, with the target coordinates marked nearby and a brief explanation attached. It showed that it was the previously recorded nest area, but recent energy fluctuations showed new signs of activity, requiring re-verification.

She thought for a moment and confirmed that the target matched their current setup and operational habits, was at a suitable distance, and was of a known type, so there was no need to prepare any special equipment or temporary supplies.

"This one works, I'll accept it," she said, then selected the task and pressed "accept and confirm."

A loading notification flashed on the screen, followed by the message "Accepted. Please depart before 6 PM today."

Chen Nian confirmed the departure time, then put the terminal aside and said to the others, "Get ready, we won't wait until 6 p.m., let's leave now."

After Chen Nian finished speaking, the people in the tent didn't ask any more questions and began to make their final preparations.

Chen Nian put the terminal in her pocket, stood up, and seeing that the other girls were also ready, bent down to lift the tent flap and said, "Let's go!"

Since they were going to handle a special incident, the brigade provided them with a light jeep.

So after leaving the camp, they drove and quickly arrived at the outskirts of their destination.

Normally, no other series of extraordinary spaces could fit this light jeep inside.

Chen Nian could certainly have done it, but she didn't.

Firstly, it's unnecessary, since this is a place where humans and the supernatural battle, and the supernatural can't drive.

Secondly, having a vehicle outside will let others know that a special operations team is already handling the situation inside, so there's no need for anyone else to come in and deal with it.

So Chen Nian parked the car at the spot where the problem needed to be addressed.

After everyone got out of the car, Chen Nian took one last look at the vehicle's location. The parking spot was chosen on the edge of a relatively hidden depression, making it difficult to be noticed from a distance, and it was also relatively close to the target area.
