Chapter 361: Chapter 359 “The Great Expedition Far Away”._1 Chapter 361: Chapter 359 “The Great Expedition Far Away”._1 “Just one more fight to go!”

The Son of Sadomasochism stood up, brimming with eagerness. This was the first time, even after finishing the second carriage, that his status was almost at full. Even during the first half of the year when he had just been promoted, he hadn’t managed to achieve this!

After a moment of thought, he looked at the others and said:

“By the way, how about this, after we collect all this intelligence, we give half of our mission points as a reward to the Righteous Father to boost him up?”

“I have no objections…”

“Neither do I…”

As the words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement.

According to past conventions, the points for such missions were quite substantial, usually around fifteen hundred.

Splitting half would be at least seven hundred…

But these few hundred points were nothing compared to the immense favors and kindness of the Righteous Father!

For the four of them, that was three thousand points. Plus the earnings from the intelligence, it would be a considerable reward for the vast majority of the company members.

It was just a pity…

‘Giving me points is kind of pointless, …’

Hearing their conversation, Colin couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and bemusement. Right now, he truly had no interest in points.

It was probably “The Light Chaser” who would most likely relish the opportunity to fleece them.

Of course, although internally he was refusing, Colin didn’t turn down the kind gestures from his brothers…

In the mix of idle chat and battle debriefing, an hour quickly passed.

As the BOSS door shrouded in mist emerged, and they were about to enter, this time Colin stopped them.

“What’s the matter?” The squad leader, The Son of Sadomasochism, didn’t understand but didn’t continue either.

As the “true big daddy” of the squad, Colin’s voice still carried weight.

“Don’t you hear it? The voices… from inside.”

Colin gestured towards the interior; at this moment, he could hear faint voices quite clearly.

“Voices?”

The others looked at each other, shaking their heads. They had always been aware of some noise, but it was indistinct, like the hustle and bustle of a busy market, catching only fragments here and there.

In the past, after each battle, they were too exhausted to give any thought to it.

But now, it seemed that the Righteous Father could hear clearly what was being said inside?

Seeing their reaction, Colin could roughly guess that they probably couldn’t make it out. He didn’t have time to elaborate, but he made a “shush” gesture and continued to half-close his eyes and cock his ear to listen intently.

What was being discussed inside seemed to be just ordinary chatter, but the information within hit him with a shock.

“Hehehe, let me tell you guys, the higher-ups have added three hundred new C Level positions! This time, our corps has made outstanding contributions to the suppression of the Planetary Surface Overturning Level event. We’ve received first-level commendations, and the chances of promotion are very high!”

“Out of our more than seventy people, at least one-tenth of us have a chance to succeed!”

“Wow, doesn’t that mean seven C Level members will emerge just from our corps? Is your information reliable?”

“I’m not sure, but the likelihood isn’t small! By the way, what’s your next destination?”

“What destination could it be? Of course, it’s to apply to join ‘The Great Expedition Far Away!’ Mankind’s dream since ancient times has been to conquer the stars! When the time comes, I will etch my name on the edges of the galaxy billions of light-years away, making those ancient beings tremble at the sight of my name!”

“What? Isn’t this expedition still years away from starting?”

“That’s all news from seven or eight years ago. Don’t tell me you’re stuck in your crappy ‘Old Scroll’ all day and don’t even check the news?”

“No, I was part of a special experiment last time, got frozen as a subject for a few years, just came out not long ago, and was immediately pulled for this urgent mission.”

“Fine, anyway, currently, 500 ‘World Codes’ have already been completed, and now there’s a large scale expansion of the corps going on, starting with action in the neighboring regions. From what the decision-makers suggest, ‘World Code’ will eventually reach three thousand, corresponding to the ancient legends of three thousand worlds…”

“Tsk tsk tsk… ‘The Great Expedition Far Away,’ eh? Once out of the Solar System, it’s not safe. It’s going to be an exceptionally fierce battle; even with resurrection methods, there’s no guarantee of coming back to life. I don’t have that kind of guts. My triplets just turned two this year; I plan to apply to ‘Box Garden World’ for a safer experience, do some experiments, retire, take care of the kids, and see what happens when they grow up…”

“Well, that’s a choice, too. As for me, I’ve been assigned to the manufacturing department…”

“What? The manufacturing department? Are you crazy… Ever since Boss Huang took over, the style of the manufacturing department has become unbearable.”

“I know, but the good news is, I applied to be under Boss Rosen, and I got in…”

“Rosen is not bad, much more normal, just a bit stingy. He gives half the points others do, always looking to save on everything. But at least you don’t have to worry about social death. The bad news? You’ve been assigned to the lowest evaluation staff, haven’t you?”

“Not exactly, but my resume was noticed by Boss Huang’s subordinates. Then they thought that ‘Script City’ had a project about structural research optimization that needed someone like me, and I was forcefully transferred there…”

“Hahaha, that’s hardly good news. Well, Boss Huang may be inhumane and petty, but he offers really high benefits and pay, probably the highest in the company, right? Just be careful if he gives you any props…”

“You better not laugh, for if the ‘Book of Fate’ captures you badmouthing Boss Huang, you might end up being snatched into ‘Passionate Paradise’ to play as a female NPC for a few years, heh, do I need to come and patronize your business then?”

“Scram, scram, scram! But listen, come in closer, I have something to tell you…”

…

Meanwhile, compared to “The Son of Sadomasochism” and others, who were utterly confused, Colin was listening with great interest,

“Three hundred C Level positions,” “The Great Expedition Far Away,” “500 ‘World Codes,'” and some information about those high-ups…

From this gossip and idle talk, Colin had gleaned a great deal of highly valuable content.

However, towards the end, as the voices of these people suddenly grew softer, he slightly tilted his head, his pupils vertically slitted as he enhanced his auditory senses to continue gathering information…

But at that moment, a surge of heart-palpitating sensation flooded over him.

At the same time, a vision of death emerged in his mind—

From beyond the Mist Gate, a phantom greatsword sliced through the carriage, targeting him with precision like reaping wheat, bisecting him diagonally, and then countless silver sword energies wreaked havoc inside him, reducing him to a pile of blood and flesh.

“Watch out!” Colin cried, leaping backward.

And a several-meters-long phantom greatsword burst through the wall, nearly grazing Colin’s face as it swung down.

At the same time, a figure in a brown Hunter’s Coat emerged from after the Mist Gate, his presence crowned with a three-faced, six-armed phantom that seemed like an Ancient God of war.

Upon seeing Colin and the others, he sneered, “Tsk, just as I thought, we’ve got a rat sneaking in.”

Without further ado, the phantom raised its weapons and viciously chopped down at the crowd.
