‘This little kid is definitely untameable, but it is unknown why would he go to the Xue Yuan State!’
Of course, regardless of the reason, Shang Han did not wish to voice out her doubts, and she was afraid that Qin Feng might feel that he was being watched.
“Governor Qin Feng, now, as the regent of the Northern Region, I officially assign you to a mission!” Shang Han gave her order with a serious expression.
“Yes!” Qin Feng was also alerted while he waited for the order from Shang Han.
“Governor Qin Feng, get to the Dusan Borders and Riwa Basin to take part in the clean up mission, details of the mission can be self-determined, and it should last for a month!”
Qin Feng reacted with a surprised expression; however, it was not because of the mission that was assigned from Shang Han, but it was the exact same location that he was planning to go!
Then, Shang Han awarded Qin Feng with some rewards and funds, it was about the same as the reward for a B-tier general; from Shang Han’s point of view, Qin Feng’s capability was much stronger than any B-tier general.
If Qin Feng were to be rewarded as a C-tier, it would definitely be an unfair treatment for him to take up the excessive number of tasks for an inadequate salary.
Shang Han was truly a generous superior!
“Affirmative, Regent!”
“Alright, you may now go to the nearest city, the waymark will be sent to you!” Shang Han ordered.
“I am now at Winter Fort!”
“Alright then, the item will arrive within thirty minutes!”
“Great!” Qin Feng nodded, he was then struck by an idea and asked, “Regent Shang, do we also have hidden powerful figures in the Northern Region? For example… S-tier!”
Shang Han was stunned and continued to ask, “Why would you ask about this? Are you looking for a mentor to upskill yourself?”
“It’s just a random question!”
“We do have one, unfortunately, this powerful figure is not associated with dark abilities, fire abilities, and not an ancient warrior, but an ice ability user, S-tier!”
Qin Feng’s doubt was answered.
As expected, Shang Han was aware of it.
“I see!”
“You, from your visit to the Xue Yuan State, could it be that you have already met with the powerful figure?” Shang Han was struck by surprise.
Qin Feng nodded and continued, “If you are referring to Master Hu San, then yes!”
Shang Han stared at Qin Feng, and she was beyond surprised.
“Frankly, I do not know his name, and I haven’t even met him before, it was my late father that had told me about him, within the Northern Region, Beihua City is not the most dangerous place, but the Xue Yuan State, where there is presence of a horrifying ultra beast within the gigantic mountain ranges of the outer Xue Yuan State, fortunately, there is a guardian that has been living there.”
“That person is then regarded as the Icy Lake Grandmaster! I thought that it was the recognition of his capability to instantly freeze a lake into solid ice, so it was actually because of his family name, Hu?”
Qin Feng was also shocked as he did not expect Hu San to be regarded with such a title, knowing that Shang Han’s father was an elderly person, the Icy Lake Grandmaster was undoubtedly from the early Great Rift Age.
“Could it be that you have received pointers from him?”
At that moment, even Shang Han could not resist the urge to find out more.
“No, I did not, but I was actually saved by him, hence, I would like to find out more about my saviour, however, it was inappropriate for me to ask directly!”
“You lucky kid, you are really blessed with good luck!” Shang Han exclaimed and did not get to the bottom of it as the previous question had already crossed the line!
The both of them remained silent, after the mission assignment, Shang Han did not have anything else for Qin Feng, and the communication was then ended.
In less than half an hour, a D-tier aptitude user delivery person had arrived at Winter Fort via a spatial waymark from Beihua City.
Only mission assignment for B-tier or C-tier aptitude users would be executed in such a luxurious way!
After all, it would at least cost a hundred million.
After receiving the spatial waymark, Qin Feng left his only message behind for the mayor of Winter Fort, and he brought Bai Li along. The spatial waymark was opened and extended to another location that was unfamiliar to Bai Li, however, Qin Feng knew it well.
It was the place where Qin Feng’s life as a mercenary unit and the king of mercenaries began!
Riwa Basin.
It was constantly guarded by three B-tier aptitude users throughout the entire year, and when necessary, tens of B-tier aptitude users would arrive within a day for a clean-up mission.
Meanwhile, as soon as Qin Feng’s vision had recovered, he was already in an extremely spacious lobby, then, a ray of light appeared from the side while the shadow of a person walked out from the rift.
“Oh? Qin Feng!”
“General Xu!”
Qin Feng was able to identify the other person, surprisingly, it was General Xu Qing.
“Are you also being assigned with the clean-up mission?”
“Seems like General Xu Qing is assigned to the same mission!”
“If I knew Shang Han had sent you, I might not have come here, since you are able to handle the beast wave with ease, this should not be a problem for you!” Xu Qing patted Qin Feng’s shoulder.
Qin Feng shook his head. “Insect waves are not the same as monster waves, here, nobody knows what would happen next, it is still a risky place, to have General Xu’s assistance here is a much better assurance!”
“Haha, I agree, while the weather and temperature are still changing, let’s hurry up with our clean-up, and the springtime insect wave next year will be slightly weakened!”
“That’s right!”
Both of them laughed and walked out together.
Soon, they were greeted respectfully by the doorperson at the entrance. At the frontline, not many would pay attention to news from the battle net, furthermore, the Prodigy Tournament had always been viewed only by aptitude users that were below twenty years old. At such an age, most of the viewers were below D-tier.
There, any random soldier that walked by would probably be a C-tier.
“General Xu Qing, this way please, and the two of you?”
It was because Qin Feng and Bai Li were not wearing their aptitude user badges, the guard frowned and obviously did not know how to address the both of them.
“I’m sorry!” Qin Feng took out his aptitude user badge and wore it, Bai Li also followed suit.
“I am assigned by Regent Shang for a mission to clean-up insectoids around the area!”
“Regent Shang?” The C-tier was surprised and stared at Qin Feng in an unexpected loathsome look, obviously, the C-tier did not believe in Qin Feng’s claims.
As an tier aptitude user herself, why would Regent Shang specially assign a C-tier aptitude user to come forward for a clean-up mission?
Perhaps it was just an exaggerated hoax, indeed, it was hilarious.
“Alright, you may have your own free time, General Xu Qing, this way please, a luxurious special guest room is ready at the third floor of the Human Alliance aptitude user lobby!”
Qin Feng was caught between laughter and tears, knowing that Shang Han had assigned him to enjoy the same treatment as a B-tier. His responsibility was to be stationed at the third floor of the aptitude user lobby, yet, he was just being told to fill in his own free time?
Xu Qing heard the person, and obviously, he was stunned, his expression became serious and was about to begin with his beratement.
However, Qin Feng immediately stopped Xu Qing and answered, “General Xu Qing, this is perfect, I am planning to have some free time for myself, if there are any urgent matters, my communicator is available!”
While the doorperson was still staring with a loathsome look, Qin Feng gave a hand gesture that symbolized the usage of the communicator. From the point of view of the doorperson, Qin Feng was bragging too much, and even worse, he was trying to falsify his relationship with General Xu Qing!
