“Why are you standing outside? Co in!” Li Xin glanced at Bai Lian, who lingered at the doorway surveying the headquarters, and beckoned him inside.
Bai Lian snapped back to reality and followed her in.
Upon entering, he scanned the room as if searching for sothing.
The interior was softly lit, with warm lamps casting a gentle glow over the spacious area. Glass partitions separated workstations, resembling the office from his class-change dungeon. The headquarters felt oddly empty—three n stood in the distance, deep in discussion.
Bai Lian frowned and turned to Li Xin:
“You said there were girls here prettier than you? Is this all?”
Li Xin ruffled her hair with a playful smirk:
“Do you think everyone clears dungeons as fast as you? The girls are out on missions. Wait for them to return, and I’ll introduce you later.”
With that, she strode past the three mbers of Nullification, who promptly stood at attention:
“Commander, you’re back!”
Bai Lian noted their tense expressions—clearly, these n feared her.
“If you’re bored, go patrol outside. Or dive into a dungeon,” Li Xin waved dismissively.
“Understood, Commander!”
The trio bowed. Only then did they notice Bai Lian trailing behind her. A young man in a white shirt grinned:
“Commander, is he new?”
Before Li Xin could reply, Bai Lian shook his head:
“Nope, not joining Nullification. I’m here for the girls.”
The three froze.
Li Xin facepald and shooed them away:
“No more questions. Get back to work—and you, follow .”
As Bai Lian walked off with her, the n exchanged bewildered glances:
“Did he just say he ca to ogle girls... here?”
“Who dares talk to the Commander like that?!”
“Is she... into him? He’s kinda handso...”
“Don’t be absurd. Commander Li in love? That’s a horror story.”
“Let’s just go. This place reeks of drama…”
In a private office, Li Xin sank into a sofa and gestured for Bai Lian to sit opposite her. He leaned back, sipped the tea she poured, and cut to the chase:
“Where are these girls you promised?”
“Is that all you care about?” She arched a brow.
“If not won, should I fantasize about n?”
“That... isn’t off the table,” her lips twitched. “We’ve got cute guys here too. Want an intro?”
“Pass.” Bai Lian set down his cup. “Let’s talk business.”
Li Xin sighed:
“Still refusing to join Nullification?”
“I told you—a few thousand Rule Points monthly and an S-tier item, then we’ll talk.”
“No guild in the Mysterious World can et those demands.” She leaned forward. “But the Professionals’ Association won’t let you off easy. Can you handle their pressure alone?”
The Professionals’ Association, one of the top five player factions, wielded imnse influence. Crossing them ant constant harassnt in dungeons.
Bai Lian smirked: “Don’t worry about .”
Even now, at 1st-tier class, he could annihilate most 4th-tier players using [Annihilation] alone. With his [Dead Realm] and Shadow Sovereign form? Even 5th-tiers might fall.
“Then answer my question,” he said. “How do you level up a class?”
Li Xin swirled her tea: “First, clear ten dungeons. Then enter an Assistance Request Dungeon.”
“Assistance Request Dungeon? Explain.”
She raised a finger: “That’ll cost you. Intel isn’t free here.”
Bai Lian grinned: “Funny—I charge for answers too.”
