Chapter 833
He grabbed a Coke and continued, "The place has already been designated as a danger zone by the local governnt. Normally, no-one would go there. If soone unwittingly entered, there’s a 90% chance they would step on a landmine."
"So initially, this task was just an ordinary silver order. However, after several people from the alliance failed to complete it, it was upgraded to platinum status. After getting promoted to platinum, only Bennett White dared to take the task."
Polita: "Oh, so he eventually gave up?
After a sip of Coke, Heijii said: "Not exactly. I heard it was because the package triggered a ti bomb. With his skills, he could disarm it. However, he discovered a group of people being chased by kidnappers. If he didn’t save them, they would probably die, but if he did, he wouldn’t have ti to disarm the bomb."
"He chose to save people in the end." Polita nodded.
Heijii shrugged: "That’s the story, at least. I don’t know if it’s true."
"Nevertheless, that country is a small one and operates under a monarchy. It’s pretty chaotic, especially along the border. Scenarios where dozens of people are being pursued aren’t impossible."
Chloe Collins suddenly rembered a country she had read about. It was said that a certain border city in that country had plenty of landmines buried during a war. After the crisis was resolved and foreign troops withdrew, those unused landmines were left behind."
The people who originally buried the landmines didn’t accurately record the locations of each mine – they were practically scattered around. Over ti, they were all forgotten."
Initially, there were frequent landmine accidents in that area. Eventually, the governnt ordered that area to be sealed off, turning it into a no-entry zone."
Thinking about it, she rembered the na of the country."
Chloe Collins: "Is that place, Goldasia?"
Heijii: "Yes, that’s the country. It’s small, but it has a strategic location and mineral resources, so the people there are pretty wealthy."
Chloe Collins munched on her honey-glazed chicken leg, lost in thought.
The next evening, she arrived at the entrance of Desolate Valley.
The old lady was the sa as always, eating and watching a variety show.
She was having Hotpot for dinner today.
Her laughter sounded eerie, reminiscent of witches from animation films that specialize in abducting children for experints.
A broom flew out without warning: "You must finish sweeping today!"
Chloe Collins first glanced at her ring, and then at her computer.
Now, the interest in her ring surpassed the computer.
This ring that she used with such proficiency, there were no records of it.
"What are you looking at? Wanting to eat my food? Don’t you dare, forget it! These are all mine, quickly sweep the floor!"
The old lady said as she protectively covered her veggies, at, and especially the plates of beef.
Chloe Collins picked up the broom and went inside where the tranquility made her feel quite comfortable.
Now, entering it, she felt a sense of anticipation and excitent.
Being able to enter here for ranking represented peak competence.
The thought of wanting to go ho suddenly faded in her mind.
She tossed the broom on the wagon and grasped the handle to move forward.
Suddenly, sothing attacked from behind. She dodged to the side, and the object directly punctured the wagon’s tire, causing it to deflate.
She turned back, wanting to see what trick the old lady was trying to pull this ti.
However, she saw three won in teal uniforms instead.
They wore delicate masquerade masks on their faces and held different weapons in their hands.
A longsword, a whip, and flying darts.

(End of the day, goodnight.)
