Chapter 236 Hidden Mission

The Great Wall was actually a neutral zone.

The number of Chosen Ones appearing here was even greater than Bai Ye had imagined. In fact, compared to the Soul Society last time, the Soul Society's Chosen One market was just taking shape, while the Great Wall's Chosen One market had already formed the scale of a small market.

To ensure the liquidity and activity of a small market, the Chosen Ones operating on the Great Wall were conservatively estimated to be around one to two thousand people.

Actually, Bai Ye didn't think it was strange that a large number of Chosen Ones were active on the Great Wall, as it was a neutral zone.

After all, the World Battlefield had been open for four to five months, almost half a year.

In terms of progress, the World Battlefield had already passed its initial stage, or to put it more cruelly, those Chosen Ones who couldn't adapt to the World Battlefield had mostly died.

Many forbidden zones had also been opened, and everyone gradually had some idle items. A trading market would naturally form.

What dissatisfied Bai Ye was that nine out of ten Chosen Ones who frequented the Great Wall had temporarily joined the Great Wall Guard.

Good heavens…

He thought she was a pure and cute little girl, but it turned out she had been recharged countless times and had already replaced her battery.

However, Bai Ye's judgment that this area had potential to be exploited was correct.

After joining the Great Wall Guard, one could receive a large number of missions.

Broadly speaking, there were three major enemies outside the Great Wall: the Demon Seed, the Marauders, and the Barbarians.

At the logistics department, everyone could receive extermination and hunting missions every day. As long as they left the Great Wall, it was considered a dangerous area.

The characteristic of the Great Wall as a neutral zone also existed, which was that one could improve their strength to a certain extent without taking risks.

Running errands, farming, blacksmithing, making medicine, and repairing houses could also earn missions. Moreover, shops within the Great Wall would hire long-term employees, and Chosen Ones could apply for them to have long-term missions.

Of course, the mission rewards for these life-related tasks were very limited. In the early stages of the World Battlefield, overly weak Chosen Ones could use this as a stable way to improve their strength, but nowadays, if one only focused on this, their strength would only be widened by others.

However, some people were still engrossed in it.

Get stronger?

No, for many people, having adapted to a quiet, simple, and peaceful life, they no longer thought about fighting. They felt that even if they didn't leave the World Battlefield, they could live here for the rest of their lives.

Bai Ye really wanted to ask these people if they had ever thought about what would happen to them when the World Battlefield opened again every ten years and a new World Battlefield began.

Perhaps, many people felt that living peacefully for ten years was enough?

Then Bai Ye could only say "everyone has their own aspirations."

All in all, the Great Wall region was more prosperous than Bai Ye had imagined, gathering a large number of Chosen Ones. At the same time, Bai Ye's idea of being "uniquely himself" was shattered.

There were many people who had temporarily joined the Great Wall Guard, and Bai Ye was not the only special one.

"What a shame that woman said so nicely, the Great Wall needs your sword and your strength…" Bai Ye said as he stuffed a bun into his mouth, "A woman's mouth is a deceiving ghost, only deceiving men's feelings."

"Bai Ye, pass me the wooden board."

The sudden shout made Bai Ye choke. He pounded his chest with his fist, then grabbed the wooden board on the ground and handed it to Shou Yue, who was lying on the roof.

After receiving the wooden board, Shou Yue began hammering and banging on the roof.

"Hey, even though we're all in the Great Wall Guard, we're still an elite team," Bai Ye said, looking up. "Do you have to do this kind of house repair yourself?"

Shou Yue smiled and said, "Since there's no war, isn't it also good?"

"As long as you're happy," Bai Ye took out another bun and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling, "How did you manage to make such ordinary things taste so good?"

Shou Yue leaped down from the roof and said, "As long as you like to eat it, let's go to the next house. The wind has been strong lately, and many houses are damaged."

"Okay, okay," Bai Ye picked up the toolbox and said, "Let's go."

If there was any difference between Bai Ye's temporary identity as a Great Wall Guard and other Chosen Ones, it was that other Chosen Ones actively applied to join after arriving at the Great Wall to take on Guard missions, while Bai Ye was picked up by Mulan from the roadside and could be considered invited.

However…

It was said that half of the elite team members were picked up by Mulan. The seemingly powerful Kai was also like this, and Kai's name was even given by Mulan.

Moreover, the heroic elder sister was also fond of picking up animals, and small cats and dogs were common, as were lions and tigers. Even, according to whispers, Sister Mulan had once picked up an elephant.

Besides this, Bai Ye felt that he was no different from other Chosen Ones. The missions he could find within the Great Wall were similar, at most he was just familiar with the members of the elite team.

"Bai Ye!" At this moment, Shou Yue's voice came, "You've walked too far, it's this one."

"Ah?"

Bai Ye came to his senses, quickly took a few steps back, and handed the toolbox to Shou Yue.

Shou Yue hammered the wooden board while saying, "Don't look at the Great Wall as peaceful now, war can break out at any time, so don't be blinded by a moment of peace. You need to be prepared at all times."

Wuwuwu…

Suddenly, a long horn sounded.

The heavy sound echoed above everyone's heads and drifted into the distance.

"You have received a hidden mission."

"Repel the marauders and recapture the grain and fodder. Mission reward: Mechanical Man Component x1."

Bai Ye stared blankly at the distant city wall, then said to Shou Yue, "So, this counts as war breaking out?"

Shou Yue also came to his senses, dropped the wooden board, and said, "I'll go find Sister Mulan."

Bai Ye quickly followed and said, "Hey, what about me?"

Bai Ye quickly followed Shou Yue, then glanced at the light screen again, and couldn't help but frown.

This mission…

It seemed a bit off!

Because…

The light screen indicated it was a hidden mission!

The hunting missions within the Great Wall mainly targeted marauders, barbarians, and demon seeds. Judging solely by the mission content of repelling marauders and recapturing grain and fodder, it could be considered a very ordinary mission.

But why would a very ordinary mission prompt him that he had received a hidden mission?

Bai Ye pondered, then suddenly looked at a man not far away.

The man was wearing a magic robe, and under the robe were jeans…

Such a unique, fashionable, and impressive outfit must be a Chosen One.

Bai Ye immediately chased after him and grabbed his shoulder, saying, "Hey, have you received any missions?"
