He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

In less than a minute, the three men and the bear were standing neatly outside the instructor's office.

Shangguan Hong's breathing was steady, though there were still beads of sweat on her forehead;

Qian Mengmeng slid off the little iron back and straightened her skirt;

Chu Yu also stood up straight. Xiao Tie obediently squatted behind Qian Mengmeng.

"Report! Black Rose Squad, three members expected, three members present!"

Shangguan, as the team leader, shouted in a clear voice.

"Come in."

A deep, husky male voice came from inside.

The three people pushed open the door and entered.

The office was simply furnished with only a table, a few chairs, and a huge military map hanging on the wall.

Behind the table sat a one-eyed middle-aged man.

He had a gruesome scar across his left eye, and he wore a black eyepatch over that eye.

His remaining right eye was as sharp as an eagle's, its gaze sweeping over the three of them with an invisible pressure.

He was the direct instructor of the Black Rose Squad, codenamed "Lone Wolf".

Lone Wolf Instructor didn't waste any words.

He placed a document sealed with wax and a plain-looking black bracelet directly on the table.

"An urgent mission has been sent from above."

The Lone Wolf Instructor's voice was like sandpaper rubbing together.

"Your team, depart immediately for Tianfeng City."

Mission objective: Protect a boy named "Lu Chen".

Make sure he completes the beginner dungeon safely and smoothly.

"What?!"

Qian Mengmeng was the first to jump up, her silver twin ponytails swaying angrily.

Her little face was full of disbelief and protest.

"Let our Black Rose Squad act as babysitters for a newly awakened freshman?"

Escort him through the beginner dungeon?

Instructor, are you sure you're not mistaken?

We are an elite combat squad!

For this kind of task of training new recruits, wouldn't it be easy to just send a logistics team?

Why should we go?

She felt this was a waste of her talents, even an insult.

Although the average level of their Black Rose squad is only around level 20,

However, they have excellent teamwork, rich practical experience, and have completed many dangerous missions.

It was highly regarded among its peers.

Shangguan Hong frowned slightly, but did not speak immediately. She simply looked calmly at the instructor.

Chu Yu blinked, somewhat surprised.

Instructor Lone Wolf coldly swept his single eye over Qian Mengmeng, a gaze that instantly silenced her, causing her to instinctively shrink back.

"That's an order."

His tone was flat, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"You are only responsible for execution; you have no right to question or refuse."

He pointed to the black bracelet:

"Inside this spatial bracelet, there is a set of equipment designated for that boy named Lu Chen. You must hand it to him personally."

Then, he pushed the document forward:

"This is a detailed task briefing. Take a look for yourselves. Once you've read it, take immediate action without delay."

He paused, a meaningful glint in his single eye, and added.

"I can only tell you that the boy was directly included in the highest-level 'Seed Project'."

Moreover, it was personally overseen and handled by the esteemed scholar Shi Qianjun.

Are you satisfied with this answer?

"The Seed Project? The Sage of Literature himself..."

For the first time, a noticeable tremor appeared on Shangguan Bingleng's face.

Chu Yu's languid expression vanished instantly, replaced by a serious demeanor.

Qian Mengmeng's eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly.

"Hurry up and pack your things, let's leave immediately!"

Make sure to arrive in Tianfeng City and find the target person to make contact before the newbie dungeon opens tomorrow!

Don't miss the time!

After the Lone Wolf Instructor finished speaking, he stopped looking at them, turned around, and began to process other documents, issuing an order to leave.

The three men picked up the documents and bracelets, saluted, and quickly left the office.

Back in their temporary dormitory, Qian Mengmeng closed the door and eagerly opened the sealed document.

Shangguan Hong and Chu Yu also gathered around.

The document wasn't long, but the information it contained sent shockwaves through the three of them.

"this……"

Qian Mengmeng remained silent after reading the document.

Her previous resentment and indignation had long since vanished, replaced by disbelief and a subtle excitement.

She looked up at her two companions, her voice a little hoarse:

"Sister Hong, Sister Chu... this... this doesn't seem like... a tough job?"

Chu Yu took a deep breath, nodded, her eyes filled with complex emotions:

"It's not just a chore... it's probably a tremendous opportunity."

The "Seed Program"... that's an area we haven't even been able to apply for.

Every single one of them could one day become a pillar of strength, protecting their region.

She looked at the black spatial bracelet.

"With the personal attention of the Sage of Literature... this Lu Chen is probably no ordinary 'seed'."

Shangguan Hong clenched her fists, a fighting spirit igniting in her cold eyes:

"The mission of guarding the enemy cannot be lost."

This is not only about the success or failure of the mission, but also about the future of our team.

She looked at her two teammates and said in a deep voice,

"Mengmeng, put away your contempt and carelessness."

Chu Yu, get yourself in the right state of mind.

This mission must be completed perfectly.

If... if we could make this 'seed' remember the good things about our Black Rose Squad, even if it's just leaving a good impression..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Qian Mengmeng nodded vigorously, her face slightly flushed with excitement:

"I understand! Sister Hong! Sister Chu! This is not only a mission, but also an opportunity for us!"

If he performs well, and grows in the future, even if he only lends us a hand, our potential will be...

She didn't say anything more, but her eyes were full of longing.

They fought in the military, driven not only by their belief in protecting their country, but also by their desire for greater strength and a broader stage.

And now, an opportunity that could potentially reach the highest levels of government was presented to them.

"Immediately check your equipment, replenish supplies, and assemble at the camp entrance in ten minutes. Then proceed at full speed to Tianfeng City!"

Shangguan Hong decisively gave the order, reverting to her swift and efficient captain's demeanor.

"yes!"

Qian Mengmeng and Chu Yu responded in unison, without any further objection.
