22 Accepting A Mission

Before Xiu Wu could ask Zhu Lin clearly about her hostile behavior towards him, Tan Wei's voice came from behind.

"Lao Xiu, have you chosen our next mission?" He asked while leading Ji Yang towards the two of them.

Xiu Wu looked at his friend and nodded. He looked at Zhu Lin again and asked, "Do you want to do this mission together?"

Zhu Lin narrowed her eyes at him vigilantly for a while, and asked, "Why do I need to do this mission together with you?"

Asked by her, Xiu Wu also felt a little confused about his sudden decision to carry out a mission with her. As a person who never does things for no reason, he lowered his eyes and thought seriously.

Zhu Lin waited for a while and got no reply, so she said, "Thank you for your invitation, but I cannot accept your invitation."

After finishing speaking, she casually pointed to another mission written in red ink and said, "I will take this mission."

The officer's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the mission she was referring to. He looked at her and asked, "Miss, are you sure you want to accept this mission?"

"Mhm." Zhu Lin nodded calmly.

"Do you have teammates?" the officer asked again.

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "No. I like working alone."

Seeing that she was serious, the officer wrote down the mission and asked, "Miss, what is your name?"

"Zhu Lin."

After the officer finished recording her information, he handed her a piece of paper and said, "In three weeks, you should bring the supplies back. You only need to bring a box of medicine to complete your mission, but the more medicine you bring back, the higher your reward. The nearest hospital is in the city center of S City, about two hundred kilometers away to the east. You can go there to pick up medical supplies."

Zhu Lin nodded, then walked away with her rabbit. Ji Yang looked at her disappearing back, glanced at Xiu Wu who was in a daze, and called: "Lao Xiu, hey, Lao Xiu."

Hearing his name being called, Xiu Wu came back to his senses. He looked at Ji Yang and asked, "What?"

Ji Yang pointed to the entrance of the mission hall and said, "Your target has already left. Are you not chasing after her?"

Xiu Wu looked towards the entrance, but found that Zhu Lin was no longer in sight. He glanced back at his friends and asked, "What mission did she accept just now?"

Tan Wei looked at him and asked, "Lao Xiu, didn't you hear what they were talking about just now?"

Xiu Wu didn't answer Tan Wei, because he really didn't hear what they were talking about just now. When he heard Zhu Lin's name, countless images flashed in his mind. By the time he came to his senses, she had already left.

Tan Wei looked at his frowning face and said, "She accepted a supply mission and went to a hospital in the center of S City to collect medical supplies."

Hearing what he said, Xiu Wu thought for a while and said, "Let's go with her. It is very dangerous for her to carry out this mission alone."

After leaving these words, he quickly walked out of the mission hall. Looking at his back, Ji Yang and Tan Wei were dumbfounded. Is this still their taciturn and indifference friend? When did he start caring about other people?

After leaving the mission hall, Zhu Lin walked towards the market area in the second ring of the base. When she saw the bustling market before, she was both curious and excited. Since she is too poor to go to the trading hall to buy things, then she must go to the market to take a look.

When she arrived at the market area, she was greeted by countless stalls and crowds. Both sellers and buyers are full of energy and work hard in their negotiations.

She noticed that most sellers only used cloth as booths, while the buyers were very careful in choosing the items. She walked around the market area and found out that most of the items sold in the market were ordinary items.

Tu Tu sat on her shoulder and asked, [Master, what do you want to buy?]

Zhu Lin looked around and said calmly: [I want to buy paper and writing brushes.]

Hearing what she said, Tu Tu's eyes lit up, and asked, [Master, do you want to refine talismans?]

She nodded and said, [Mhm. My injury has not completely healed, and my current cultivation is still too low to securely protect us in this world. Before going out to do our mission and collect crystal nucleus, I need to prepare some talismans and formation plates first. In case we encounter a strong opponent, we will not be helpless.]

After obtaining the blood of the giant snake, Zhu Lin already had this idea. Fortunately, there is a market in this base, so she can try to find the materials needed to refine talismans and formation plates. If there is no suitable material in this market, then she can only find the material by herself later.

Since she doesn't have much divine energy to cast formations directly, she can only refine some formation plates as a substitute. Although the power of the formation plates is weaker than the formation she casts directly, the formation plates only need a little spiritual energy to activate it, and it is very convenient to use.

Zhu Lin walked around the market for a while, but couldn't find anyone selling paper and writing brushes. Just when she was about to give up, Tu Tu patted her cheek and said, [Master, look over there.]

She followed Tu Tu's gaze and saw a boy sitting in an inconspicuous place. Seeing what he was selling, Zhu Lin's eyes lit up. She hurriedly walked towards the boy with the excited bunny on her shoulder.
