"Are you guys here to choose tasks too? Do you want to team up?" Xi Qianxue asked.
"Let's go our separate ways for now. We'll have chances to work together in the future, but now it would just waste time," the boss responded directly.
"That makes sense, then. Good luck with your tasks," Xi Qianxue politely said before leaving with her group.
Looking forward, the boss commanded, "We need to pick our task quickly as well. They have begun, and we can't waste any time. The sooner we earn merits, the easier it will be to elevate our status."
"Boss, what kind of task should we choose? There are so many." Lao Er asked loudly.
The boss glanced at the missions posted on the wall, then declared, "This one. Let's start with this mission."
"Exterminate mountain bandits? It's just a small bandit hideout in a remote area. They don't seem very strong, and this mission won't contribute much. Why are we choosing this one when there are so many others?"
