Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

There are basically no main roads in the route provided by Cheng Bingqiang.

Most of them are deep in the mountains and forests, and you can only get there on foot. Don't even think about driving.

The roads in the rainforest that have not been developed by humans are rugged and difficult to travel. Fortunately, all the people in this team are not engaged in serious jobs and have quite a lot of experience in dealing with this.

But even so, their progress was very slow.

Chi Yu followed Cheng Bingqiang, opened the system interface, and looked at the commission details on it.

[Random Commission: Exploration]

[Core Objective: Lead the exploration team to the lost Peacock Kingdom]

[Limited time: 30 days]

[Additional goal: Ensure at least one team member survives]

[Reward: Exploration Experience, Crystal Fragments, Rough Red Gold]

[Current environmental pressure: 5, please choose your tactical preference]

Chi Yu's attention was attracted by the 30-day deadline for the commission for a moment. This was the longest task deadline provided by the system that he had ever encountered.

Although Chi Yu was able to complete the task in one or two days for a time-limited commission that was usually marked as five or six days, it was always done in a relatively relaxed environment.

Compared with the smooth road before, looking back at the complex terrain now where he needs to stop every few steps, Chi Yu is mentally prepared to spend a week or so on this mission.

Moreover, the environmental pressure is level 5, and there is an additional goal...

It seems that this commissioned task is not that simple and still requires a little attention.

'Choose Tactical Tendency: Survival Expert.'

[There are 30 days left until the end of the visit plan]

【719:59:59】

As the countdown began, Chi Yu took a look at the additional target on the system interface, then glanced at the man with black glasses beside him, and suddenly realized that this additional target was actually a free point question.

If the team encounters an extremely dangerous situation, then there is no need to think about who the only person who can survive is.

Chi Yu calmly withdrew his gaze.

——It will only be black glasses.

Noticing Chi Yu's gaze, the man with black glasses turned around and asked him, "Boss Chi, what were you looking at me for, so seriously?"

"I was wondering who I should find to continue selling things if something happens to you." Chi Yu replied rather coldly.

Hearing this, Black Glasses smiled and said, "Boss Chi, you are so cruel! We just set out and you are already thinking about how to abandon me and look for the next person?"

“Always prepare for the worst.”

Chi Yu's pace slowed down a little because of the conversation between him and the man with black glasses, but they were already walking at the back of the crowd, and the traffic in front was in full swing, so no one noticed the situation behind them.

"Do you think the worst-case scenario is that I will lose my life because of this operation? In your eyes, I shouldn't be that fragile, right?"

"Life is full of surprises."

After all, since the system provides such an additional goal, it must have calculated this possibility.

Chi Yu didn't think the system would deceive him on this point, so he answered: "Who knows, will you capsize in the ditch this time?"

Black Glasses did not comment on Chi Yu's idea. He chuckled and his eyes fell on Cheng Bingqiang who was not far ahead: "So you think he will cause us some trouble."

Chi Yu hummed: "To be honest, he is quite eloquent and can be considered a good liar."

"He used intelligence that was 90% true and 10% false to weave a fairly interesting story, making these idiots believe it and follow his lead."

"I could sense that Cheng Bingqiang was trying his best to hide it, but his malicious intent was too obvious to me."

Cheng Bingqiang instigated too many messy people to come here, and then treated him and Black Glasses specially, obviously wanting to use them as targets.

Originally, Chi Yu thought that since Cheng Bingqiang had done this, anyone should be able to see that he had problems. However, unexpectedly, Chi Yu seemed to have overestimated the IQ of those people.

It turns out that people cannot be generalized. Even if these guys have rich experience, it is just practice that makes perfect.

Experience cannot save their poor brains and make them even a little bit smarter.

Faced with the attractive wealth, these people immediately threw their own brains out the window, were dazzled by the gold, and wanted to run over and serve as stepping stones for others.

Looking at the busy crowd in front, Chi Yu let out a "tsk".

Fortunately, Black Glasses is a smart man with brains. Although he also loves money, at least he knows what to do and when to do it.

"Yes, this guy not only lied, but also concealed a lot of things from us. I don't know what he wanted to do by bringing so many people to that place."

At this point, Black Glasses sighed, "Life is really getting harder and harder. Just to make a little money, even though we know there are dangers ahead, we still have to bite the bullet and follow."

Hearing this, Chi Yu raised his eyebrows: "Three hundred thousand should not be considered a small amount of money."

"Three hundred thousand for what?" the man with black glasses asked calmly.

"In order to get you to come here, Cheng Bingqiang gave you 300,000 yuan. He didn't pay it off with a gold statue, but directly paid it to you in cash."

Chi Yu tilted his head to look at the man with black glasses, feeling the emotional fluctuations he had at that moment, "Well, it seems that's the case."

The man with black glasses hissed and tried to argue: "How could that be, Boss Chi? He gave me 30,000 yuan at the time. Didn't I transfer all of it to you before?"

You are pretending. You are still stubborn even in this situation.

Chi Yu sneered in his heart and was not prepared to give Black Glasses a chance to continue playing dumb.

"We are face to face now." Chi Yu tapped the man with black glasses on his chest. "So you should know that I know exactly what you are thinking."

Black Glasses had no choice but to raise his hands and admit defeat. "Why don't you be a human lie detector? This ability is too good to be true. I was just a little surprised, but you could sense it. You really don't give me any privacy at all."

Chi Yu continued, "Moreover, Cheng Bingqiang gave you five golden statues as your commission. If you can successfully sell them, it will be a considerable sum of money. Isn't that why you were invited by him?"

"Well... not entirely." The man with black glasses shrugged, "But what you said is also correct, he gave too much."

The group walked and stopped from time to time. After about four hours, Cheng Bingqiang announced that they would stop temporarily and rest for an hour.

"Master Hei, Military Advisor Chi, if we go a little further, we will cross the border. According to the map, there is a wetland five kilometers ahead. My idea is that we can camp there tonight and continue on tomorrow."

Cheng Bingqiang came up to them and asked for their opinions with a smile: "What do you two think?"

The man with black glasses knew that Chi Yu had never been to a jungle before and had no corresponding experience. He subconsciously glanced at him and found that Chi Yu was also looking at him.

So he smiled and replied to Cheng Bingqiang: "Of course, you are the boss of this trip, you can arrange it however you want. We will listen to you on all the issues concerning the itinerary."
