Chapter 276 - 276 274 Red Named Teammate_1

Chapter 276: Chapter 274: Red Named Teammate!_1 Chapter 276: Chapter 274: Red Named Teammate!_1 “A team task for the first mission?”

Colin suddenly noticed this detail and, looking at the mission’s name, was somehow reminded of the place where the female “Firebearer” had died…

It seemed her dying words had mentioned the name “Sea of Lightless.”

However, without officially joining, Colin wasn’t sure of the specifics; it could just be a coincidence of names.

But compared to this…

Colin glanced at the five people participating and recognized a few familiar faces.

“Dog Brother moved up too? That was fast. Oh no wait, his abilities are decent, he’s been guarding the door at F Level for almost two years, he had enough Mission Vouchers long ago, and with a big wave of points from the last mission, it’s normal for him to have climbed this quickly…”

Colin felt it was reasonable, since in some sense, this was a “Ten Li Slope Sword Saint.”

But apart from Dog Brother, the other participants also looked familiar. Upon closer examination, wasn’t this Arsonist the guy who sold him oil before?

Pretty coincidental…

Only.

Why was the name “Arsonist Tao Tie” in red?

Staring at the name, a prompt appeared.

[An employee with a hundred percent mission completion but beware, other employees who have undertaken missions with this colleague often end up either dead or crippled unnecessarily.]

“Ah, what… what did he do? Kill a teammate? Probably not, otherwise it would have said so directly.”

Colin was somewhat speechless. Among the five people, aside from him, there was another, “Surfing for Pigs,” with an orange name.

[An employee with a hundred percent mission completion but due to personality reasons, this employee often triggers unexpected incidents outside of the mission plan.]

“Triggering unexpected incidents due to personality? Isn’t that just a troublemaker?”

Thoughtful, Colin looked at the other two, who seemed okay; their names were in a light green color.

And his own name was in a very comfortable shade of green…

[An employee with a hundred percent mission completion, colleagues who have worked with him have never died, and have all given him highly positive reviews.]

“Damn it, so this time it’s not the mission that’s red, but a teammate that is, huh?”

Colin felt a headache coming on. Sometimes, the last thing a mission needed was a trigger for unexpected events, which would dramatically increase the difficulty level.

And now that he had accepted the mission, rejecting it would require waiting for it to disappear naturally.

Then, for the following quarter, promotion tasks cannot be opened…

“Three months, forget it. I should be able to manage my teammates, and as the mission difficulty isn’t high, there shouldn’t be too much to worry about.”

In the end, Colin chose not to reject it and opened the internal communication channel of the parchment to take a look.

Right away, he saw a person with a special colored name @ him — “Miss Nell’s Dog.”

After clicking in, Colin saw that all the people involved in the mission had arrived, and there were many others watching and talking.

“Two-Faced”: Hahaha, a red-named teammate, anyone who undertakes a mission with this SOB usually ends up either dead or crippled, there are only two or three such people in the entire company, you guys are lucky to have met him, be careful.

“Arsonist Tao Tie”: Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not true, it has nothing to do with me.

“Son of Doom”: Tsk, your mission participation list is kind of interesting, basically all problem children. I don’t know about the red-named one, but with the orange-named one, well, I can only say you guys are in for a treat…

“Miss Nell’s Dog”: @Arsonist Tao Tie, @Surfing for Pigs, what’s the deal with you two? If you have anything, spit it out now, or my Brother Shunzi might off you both in two seconds when he steps in.

“Surfing for Pigs”: I’m definitely not, I always do what’s right, don’t slander me, but that potential teammate killer, I’m not sure about…

“Lifecoach Kawaii-many”: I’m just curious, one of you gets someone nearly dead or crippled on every team mission, one of you causes casualties by triggering unexpected incidents on every mission, and one of you has teammates who always survive… in the end, whose BUFF will be stronger?

“Picking a Name is Really Hard”: Great guys, rein in your divine skills, and spare a path for us little guys.

…

Staring at the information on the parchment, Colin remained silent for a while before ultimately deciding not to speak.

Even if he had the intention to inquire, these people may not tell the truth…

“Not to mention anything else, once those two problem children enter later, let’s control them first,” he said.

Colin had some ideas.

He didn’t make a statement, nor did he give any warnings. After simply reviewing everyone’s messages, he put away the parchment.

Less than an hour later, Qin Chuan called to inform him that the car was already waiting downstairs.

Today was the day Colin would officially step into his new role.

Whether he would do the official task or not was put aside for the moment, but he still needed to make an appearance.

Before long, sitting in the wheelchair transformed by Cat Maid, Colin came downstairs, where Qin Chuan, Xia Liufang, and Hu Zheng had already been waiting. Not far away was a car that wasn’t particularly luxurious but decent enough.

“Let’s go, I’ll do just fine in the wheelchair,” Colin said with a wave of his hand, having grown somewhat fond of the sensation after experiencing wheelchair racing.

Qin Chuan and the others exchanged glances, revealing bitter smiles but saying nothing more.

After about fifteen minutes, Colin and his entourage arrived at their designated office area, a small office building not too far outside the center of Coast City.

Many people had already been waiting inside, but they couldn’t hide their surprise at Colin’s youthful appearance.

“Today, I’ll probably just take you to learn a bit about the basic situation in Coast City, understand the internal affairs, and the functions of some related departments, to make it easier for you to handle matters later on…” Qin Chuan led Colin into a spacious office on the thirteenth-floor rooftop.

Within the hundreds of square meters on this floor, a large part could be considered Colin’s office, accessible only by a special elevator.

After seating him, Qin Chuan continued to act as a secretary, briefing him about various matters.

However, just as the documents were handed to Colin, the elevator door suddenly opened again with a flurry of hurried footsteps emanating from it.

Qin Chuan’s expression changed, and as he looked up, he saw a group of well-dressed people approach, the man in the lead staring straight at Colin with clear hostility.

The faint aura emanating from the man revealed that he was a Fourth Level employee!

Qin Chuan recognized him and knew that the man was skilled in combat, not like Hu Zheng who climbed up purely by hanging onto coattails without any real combat prowess.

“Are you the newly appointed Fifth Level manager, Colin? Our leader would like to have a word with you…” the man said.

Although the content of his speech was polite enough, the tone was anything but.

Yet, as he spoke, Colin remained seated undisturbed, didn’t even glance at him, and continued to peruse the documents in his hands. This caused the man to frown and he was about to say more.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed Colin lifting a finger and giving a light flick.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, a terrifying force suddenly took hold of the man, and before he could even let out a scream, the experienced Fourth Level employee was sent flying, his body crashing through the glass and plummeting from the thirteenth floor.

And before the shattered glass could reach the ground, it was manipulated by the dispersed nanomachines in the air, melted and seamlessly mended back into place…

The others who had come up with him couldn’t help but gasp at the blast of cold air from the office’s air conditioning.

Although they knew he wouldn’t be killed from the fall, being discarded like trash…

For him, it could be described as the ultimate humiliation.
