"..."
Governor Yu was instantly speechless. You're still as eloquent as ever...
"Alright! You brat, shut up."
Liu Feng glared at Chen Shu, but to be fair, what the guy said wasn't wrong.
It seemed that no one could keep up with Chen Shu's growth rate.
Liu Feng smiled and explained, "Brother Yu, he's just joking."
"Actually, he's not wrong."
Governor Yu chuckled, not taking offense.
"Senior Yu, it was my slip of the tongue," Chen Shu said, scratching his head. "Actually, if Yu Yi works harder, he can still catch up."
"Don't be ridiculous..." Governor Bei Yuan shook his head. Did you even believe yourself when you said that?
Just then, Governor Nan Cang, standing beside them, looked at Liu Feng and asked, "Old Liu, why isn't Brother Qin here?"
"He's the overall head of the domestic hunting mission and can't get away," Liu Feng said calmly. "Besides, the King-level powerhouses participating in this operation are all one-star."
"Oh?" Chen Shu scanned the thirty King-level individuals present and indeed couldn't find a two-star among them.
"Alright, everyone!" Chen Qinghai tapped the table, interrupting their conversation. "You're all aware of this escort mission. I'll briefly outline the arrangements."
He pressed the black watch on his right wrist, and a massive virtual screen appeared before them, marked with numerous red dots.
"Everyone, according to the information we've gathered, there are three major rescue points and thirty-eight minor rescue points!" Chen Qinghai stated. "The three major rescue points naturally correspond to the three major countries, and the thirty-eight minor rescue points are for medium to large-sized factions. Each rescue point has our compatriots."
"Every two minor rescue points will be handled by one King-level powerhouse, while the major rescue points will require four King-level powerhouses to manage!"
Governor Nan Cang rested his chin on his hands and asked, "Old Chen, are there any issues with personnel allocation?"
"There won't be any problems! Everything has been carefully considered!" Chen Qinghai shook his head and said seriously, "Currently, the minor rescue points are basically for medium-sized factions, and the beast hordes attacking them are not too strong! But the major rescue points are different. There are many King-level beasts, and the number of stranded compatriots is several times that of the minor rescue points, naturally requiring more manpower!"
"Furthermore, the mission does not require you to escort the compatriots back to Hua Guo, as the distance is too great." He moved his right hand, and the virtual screen above displayed an unknown sea area.
"Based on calculations from the past few days, we will establish a giant spatial portal in the [Arid Spirit Sea Region], which will directly send you back to Hua Guo!"
"There are two reasons for setting up the teleportation point in the [Arid Spirit Sea Region]. First, the spiritual energy within it is scarce, and there are no other national forces around, resulting in very few beasts in the sea area."
"The second reason is that the distance from the major rescue points to it is roughly similar, which can maximize the efficiency of the mission!"
Upon hearing about the spatial portal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as the mission's difficulty immediately decreased.
Chen Qinghai added, "As for the rescue points in places like Snow Country, since they are not far from us, they can be directly escorted back and do not need to go to the teleportation point."
"In addition, besides the thirty-one people present, there are over ninety Golden Three-star Beast Tamers. Each King-level will be paired with two to three Golden Three-star as a team!"
"This is the officially arranged roster and the rescue points each team will be heading to." With that, Chen Qinghai produced a stack of documents and handed one to each person.
Except for Chen Shu, all thirty individuals were King-level, but he didn't seem out of place at all. Many even believed that Chen Shu would perform even better than the other King-level powerhouses.
"There are quite a few Golden Three-star as well?" Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and looked at his roster. The official assignment had also paired him with two Golden Three-star individuals. Moreover, there was a familiar face among them!
"Ling Chen?" His expression stiffened. He hadn't expected such a coincidence. As for the other person, he hadn't heard of them. The information displayed indicated they were from civilian ranks. Their team's mission target was none other than the Grand Alliance of Free Nations!
The Free Nations Alliance was currently in utter chaos, arguably the most difficult rescue point. This was because, under its original system, each state had an independent government, akin to the feudal lords of ancient China. With the beast invasion and chaotic situation, there had been considerable internal human conflict in the struggle for power. It was only because of the Alliance's deep foundations and numerous strong individuals that it hadn't collapsed earlier.
"Alright! For specific mission details, you can contact headquarters during execution!" Chen Qinghai tapped the table and said, "Oh, and I need to remind everyone!" His expression turned serious. "If you encounter any unsolvable crises, such as King-level Three-star beasts or even Beast Emperors making a move, do not sacrifice yourselves in vain!"
"The only course of action is to immediately disband the team and have people escape in different directions, then find an opportunity to regroup."
"If you die, the escort personnel will also die. Never try to tough it out!"
Everyone nodded. Those present were not pedantic individuals and naturally aimed to maximize survival rates. Some sacrifices were unavoidable...
Chen Qinghai stated, "If there are no further questions, proceed according to the roster!"
With that, everyone shook their heads, indicating no issues.
"In that case, the meeting is adjourned. You can contact your team members in advance." Chen Qinghai stood up, announcing the end of the meeting.
The attendees left in an orderly fashion, each with a solemn expression, clearly taking the mission very seriously. Soon, only Chen Shu and a few others remained in the conference room.
"Old Liu, Chen Pi, our target is the Free Nations Alliance," Governor Nan Cang, Fang Wei, raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy in his eyes. The three of them were quite familiar with each other, at least alleviating concerns about internal problems.
"The officials wouldn't make arrangements randomly. They probably paired up people who know each other," Liu Feng smiled, showing no surprise.
"What about the remaining person?" Chen Shu asked, as four King-level powerhouses were supposed to be assigned to a major rescue point.
"That would be me, of course!" Chen Qinghai, who was ahead, grinned and spread out the file in his hand. His target was also the Free Nations Alliance!
Chen Shu smiled and said, "With the four of us combined, we're invincible. We can handle it easily."
