Chapter 777 Turning The Fake Into Reality, The Farmer Hong Yi (4K)
One week later.
In the Red Maple City region, Hundred Rivers City.
"This official city, located on the periphery of the alliance, has always been an important frontline base against the Red Moon disaster. At the same time, it is also a significant transit hub for the Tai Xuan Alliance's wilderness exploration and pioneering efforts. One of the important bases of the Logistics Development Department is right here in Hundred Rivers City... yawn."
On a Steel Train traveling from Lakehaven Lake to Red Maple Grand City, Hong Yi flipped through the materials she had just received from the Tianze City Logistics Department, and couldn't help but yawn.
"The weather is overcast, the temperature is moderate, with humidity, perfect for a restful hibernation."
But hibernation was something that needed to be done in one long stretch to feel comfortable; doing it intermittently was not as pleasant.
Hong Yi leaned her chin on her hand as she looked outside the window.
Her eyes, which shimmered with faint light patterns, were like a video camera, recording absolutely everything outside the window.

"I hope this job at the Logistics Department is as health-preserving as I imagined."
...
In Hundred Rivers City, at the Logistics Department base.
Jade Arrow, the permanent captain of the Fourteenth Transport Squad of the Logistics Department, a Three-star Exploration General, and a Legendary Lord, was frowning at the Liaison Officer who had just communicated her mission orders.
"A shipment is coming in tomorrow, and we need to deliver it to the Snow Peak War Zone within half a month? Doesn't that mean we have to leave as soon as we get the shipment... No, even that might not be enough time. This mission is just too tough, Liaison Officer."
Jade Arrow was no stranger to the route between Hundred Rivers City and the Snow Peak War Zone, which is exactly why she knew how long it normally took to deliver a shipment.
The Liaison Officer adjusted his glasses and said, "But, Captain of the Fourteenth Squad, you understand that if it weren't for an emergency, the higher-ups wouldn't issue such a mission. I don't know much about the specific situation in the Snow Peak War Zone, but these supplies are definitely of urgent lifesaving importance."
Jade Arrow pursed her lips.
She was well aware of this.
The Liaison Officer said, "This time, the Logistics Department has given you considerable authority. You can summon the best and the bravest from the Logistics Department in Hundred Rivers City and the surrounding areas, and you may also request to hold an almost-Epic item."
Jade Arrow still felt resigned but accepted her fate.
While such summoning power was certainly not minor, how many Fourth-order Strongmen could she find in Hundred Rivers City and the surrounding regions who were not already on a mission?
The Liaison Officer continued, "Given the urgency of the situation, the higher-ups have also assigned a group of new recruits to assist you with this transport and escort mission. So, I wish you a pleasant task."
"New recruits?"
Jade Arrow approached the 'computer' inside the base, her fingers moving rapidly over the smooth, crystal-like surface.
Shortly after, she saw the list of new recruits.
"Good, good, good, they haven't made it too tough for this old lady. With this group, the transport mission is doable!"
...
That day, the base gradually welcomed a group of Professionals, Lords.
Each of these individuals was exceptionally skilled, the least among them being a strong competitor within the Third-order.
In a hub like Hundred Rivers City, Warlord Level and Leader Level fighters were not common sights.
"You're here for mission number six too?"
"Yeah, mission number six is marked as dangerous, but it also offers a lot of Contribution Points. Besides, it's just a transport mission. No matter how risky, it's still nowhere near as dangerous as reconnaissance missions in the Great War Zone."
"You're all so brave. Did you all take on the mission voluntarily?"
"Didn't you, buddy?"
"Ah, I only completed one Pioneer Group mission this year, far from meeting the quota, so here I am, drafted into service, feeling blue."
"Actually, transport missions are just more difficult in terms of conditions and the process, but to say they're extremely dangerous is an overstatement. Moreover, this time mission number six is reportedly managed by Squad Captain Jade Arrow."
A well-informed Senior Lord spoke out, "This Captain Jade Arrow is really something. It's rumored she came from a civilian background, yet she kept getting stronger, surpassing her peers, and entered the Legendary Realm in less than ten years. Not only that, Captain Jade Arrow is especially skilled in reconnaissance.
She has led the transport team to escape unscathed twice from the encirclement of Monster Overlords."
This Senior Lord was in fact a contemporary of Lord Jade Arrow.
Back in the day, he had even made it onto the Trial Golden List, while Lord Jade Arrow was still relatively unknown during her Greenhand and Xiaodeng periods.
Now, Lord Jade Arrow was a high-ranking officer in the Logistics Development Department, second only to the department head and a few deputy heads.
A true figure of authority.
He himself was still just an ordinary Frontier Lord.
The Fourth-order Lord 'Broken Sword' sighed sorrowfully, but when he thought about some of his contemporaries who were still only at Second-order elite level, he felt relieved again.
...
That night.
Senior Lord Broken Sword, Leader Level fighter North Wind, and Senior Lord Light Green, one after another, strong contenders made their way to a meeting room within the base.
There were only nine in total.
The Pioneers and Frontier Lords summoned by Squad Captain Jade Arrow amounted to thirty to forty people, but of course, only a very few were eligible to know the details of the mission.
Among these nine, three were Division Generals accompanying their Lords.
The actual participants of the meeting, the Frontier Lords, and Pioneers, were no more than six.
Most of these six individuals were active in the surrounding regions, and while they may not be very familiar with each other, they were at least not strangers.
After exchanging pleasantries, none of them was too standoffish.
After all, they were going to be teammates for the upcoming period, so it was best not to let relations sour too much.
Broken Sword observed the others.
