Luo Xiaole only had time to see Shui Cheng rapidly typing messages in the card's virtual input box.
Without a doubt, they were being sent to Qin Mingyang.
Luo Xiaole sneaked a few glances, thinking that Qin Mingyang must have some other purpose for letting Shui Cheng out on a mission.
"Drip drip." At this moment, countless messages also came from Luo Xiaole's card.
"Xiaole! Why aren't you back yet? Someone at home is waiting for the flowers to wither and the snow to melt." Luo Shu's teasing tone pierced through the text.
Luo Xiaole found it astonishing and amusing.
"Who?" She didn't think Luo Shu and the others would miss her that much; at most, they'd miss the good stuff she brought them from the food stall.
Could he be referring to Mo Chen...
For some reason, Luo Xiaole felt a tiny flicker of anticipation in her heart.
"Who would have thought an iceberg could melt into spring water~" This guy Luo Shu was becoming more and more nonsensical!
"..." Luo Xiaole suddenly felt a little shy.
"Alright, alright, let's talk business!" Luo Shu finally became a bit more serious.
"Several of us have passed the elite squad exam!!! We can participate in elite missions!" His exclamation marks seemed to pierce the sky with his excitement.
"Oh, that's good!" Luo Xiaole felt it wasn't surprising at all.
Especially after coming out on this mission with others, Luo Xiaole instantly understood that their squad's strength was considered excellent even in the entire apocalypse.
"That's it? That's it? Xiaole, your reaction is too calm!" Luo Shu protested in the chat box.
"I'll make hotpot for you guys when I get back." Luo Xiaole laughed.
"That's more like it!" Luo Shu was also happy.
"By the way, how far along are you with your mission?"
"Finished. We're on our way back to the city."
"Huh? Only 3 days? You turned a fearsome S-class mission into a fast-food mission? Can it be any more outrageous!" Zhou Xiaojun, who was also watching their conversation, was extremely alarmed by Luo Xiaole's speed in completing the mission.
"You think I'm too fast? Do you not want to eat hotpot soon?" Luo Xiaole threatened with food.
"Please come back soon, someone can't sit still if you don't!" Zhou Xiaojun had to beg for mercy.
...
After another half-hour of high-speed driving, the mission vehicle finally passed the inspection for the mission-exclusive channel and returned to Luocheng Base.
The vehicle carrying the four members drove directly into the mission center's parking lot.
After confirming the mission's completion and the team members' survival rate, Luo Xiaole's card received the mission completion notification.
Concurrently, 180,000 mall coins were deposited into her card.
There was a deduction of 10,000 mall coins due to fallen comrades, but because the mission was completed so quickly, and the mission's achievements brought back were of immense value to the base's scientific research,
Each of them received some extra points.
Luo Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief. The monthly elite mission was complete!
At this moment, the main system's voice suddenly sounded in Luo Xiaole's ear.
"Base points obtained through missions can be exchanged for double mall coins. Does the host wish to exchange?"
???
Luo Xiaole was very surprised. Such a good thing?
"Exchange!"
[Mission points have been doubled and exchanged. 360,000 has been credited to your account, with a balance of 564,585 mall coins.]
The scrolling numbers of mall coins in her mind made Luo Xiaole lose herself...
It could actually be doubled! That's wonderful!
What about completing one mission a month?
It doesn't exist anymore!
One mission isn't enough!
She was willing to serve Luocheng Base with more dedication!
Taking on a few more missions wouldn't be a problem!
At the same time, new messages suddenly began scrolling on the mission center's bulletin board and points leaderboard.
[Elite Squad Codename 3284 has completed an S-class mission, rewarded with 180,000 base points. A hero's return, congratulations, please continue to work hard.]
"Excuse me, would you like to disclose your real name for this operation?" the base card inquired.
"No, I'll use a mission name... let's call me Xiao A'luo." Luo Xiaole wanted to keep a low profile.
After the system confirmed with the others, Luo Xiaole looked up and saw their names also appeared behind the mission column, scrolling conspicuously on the big screen!
Immediately after, the mission points leaderboard updated, and a name suddenly appeared on the base's top 100 list.
"Look! Has a newcomer entered the top 100 list?"
People coming to do missions nearby immediately noticed.
"Xiao A'luo? Who is that? Have you heard of them?"
"Isn't that one of the members from that S-class mission just now? Daring to take on an S-class mission on their first try, so fierce. Their ability must be incredible, I'm so envious..."
"Envious of what? Didn't you hear that three elite squads were sacrificed on this mission! Don't even think about being so powerful, you'd be lucky to complete your A-class mission!"
"That's true... high risk, high reward, you really can't force it..."
After the mission handover was complete, Luo Xiaole and Wang Biao exchanged glances, preparing to say goodbye.
"Big shot! Take me with you on your next mission, I'm really looking forward to acting with you!" Xiao Zhen said obsequiously.
Luo Xiaole gave a dry smile, "We'll see, we'll see."
She couldn't handle this Xiao Zhen!
"By the way, your Guan Gong knife, isn't its durability also running low?" After bidding farewell to Shui Cheng and Xiao Zhen, Luo Xiaole turned to Wang Biao, who hadn't left yet.
"Yeah! How did you know! You know, this knife has been with me for so long, it's almost become my symbol. It's comfortable to use, and it'll soon be unusable, what a pity..."
"It can be used. The weapon master can repair it for you." She smiled. This was a simple matter.
"Xiaole, can you help me contact the weapon master? That would be great!" Wang Biao trusted Luo Xiaole immensely and took out a pile of weapons, handing them to Luo Xiaole.
"The durability of all these is almost used up..." he said, scratching his head a bit sheepishly.
"No problem. Come pick them up at the weapon shop at 323 Xingyue Road tomorrow morning."
...
After submitting the mission, Luo Xiaole could finally return to her mansion.
"I'm back!" Luo Xiaole pushed the door open abruptly and saw Mo Chen sitting motionlessly on the porch swing.
The swing was too low, and his long legs could barely find a place to rest.
Sunlight hit Mo Chen's long eyelashes, reflecting a warm glow.
He looked up at Luo Xiaole.
Then he simply nodded faintly, "Mm, it's good you're back." His tone was still his usual calm demeanor.
This reaction was also quite subdued.
Luo Xiaole clicked her tongue, knowing that Luo Shu, those two gossipmongers, were just hyping things up. Mo Chen didn't actually have any of that in his heart.
But the next second, the energy bar panel in front of Luo Xiaole instantly popped up!
The energy bar representing "happiness" shot up rapidly!
It instantly rose to 45%!
Good heavens!
Luo Xiaole glanced around nervously. Seeing that there were no other people's emotions around, and only Mo Chen standing in the courtyard, her eyes widened instantly.
Mo Chen, by himself, had boosted her "happiness" energy bar by 30%!
Is she that happy!
Luo Xiaole stared at Mo Chen with a strange look. She saw a faint blush slowly appear on Mo Chen's face.
"Mo Chen, isn't it hot standing there? The sun is so strong!" Zhou Xiaojun slipped out from behind the door, becoming the quintessential "atmosphere destroyer"...
He instantly saw Luo Xiaole.
"Hotpot's back... no... Xiaole's back!" Zhou Xiaojun excitedly darted into the house.
Luo Xiaole cupped her forehead. Your plans were so obvious I could hear them from the doorway...!
