With the emergence of the message, all of humanity on Blue Star disregarded the so-called trading halls and shops.
Their attention was entirely consumed by the final announcement!
The rupture of the Tianyuan dimensional rift, and the oncoming onslaught of millions of otherworldly creatures breaking through the barrier!!
"Tianyuan? This calamity is named Tianyuan?"
"What's wrong with you upstairs? Are you still concerned with the name? In seventy-two hours, millions of otherworldly creatures will break through the dimensional rift!"
"I'm from the United States—officials, hurry up and protect us! (in M language)"
"I'm Han Xiu Ying, I don't want to die! Anyone willing to save me, I'll do anything! (in H language)"
"Baka! You fools, do you just now understand? The most important thing now is to enter the dimensional rift and strengthen yourselves! (in R language)"
"I believe those at the top of the cultivation rankings should assist us. After all, we've left the opportunities for them, especially that bombastic company from Z Country! (in F language)"
"Right, everyone, immediately head to Z Country and demand their officials protect us! We are all part of the same fate! (in R language)"
As the clamor online grew louder, the official website of Z Country was swiftly overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Xu Que was entirely unaware of the online chatter. After purchasing a vial of blood circulation potion from the Honor Shop, he handed it to Qi Shan.
"Drink this, and you'll be ready to carry out the upcoming mission."
"Xu, don't you worry about the situation in seventy-two hours?" Qi Shan asked, dumbfounded, as he took the potion.
Xu Que patted Qi Shan on the shoulder, "When the heavens fall, there will be tall ones to bear the weight. The boat will find its way when it reaches the bridge. Just focus on your mission."
"Oh." Qi Shan nodded absent-mindedly, then glanced down at the potion in his hand. "Xu, this potion must be expensive, right?"
"Not too pricey. Hurry and drink it. The more otherworldly creatures you kill, the more you'll earn." Xu Que smiled.
Without further hesitation, Qi Shan drank the potion in one go.
The next moment, a faint golden glow rose around him, and his wounds visibly began to heal at an astonishing speed.
"Am I… healed?" Qi Shan looked in disbelief at his body.
"Three seconds of healing time. But from now on, don't get hurt again. If you do, you'll have to wait twelve hours before using another potion," Xu Que reminded.
"Got it. I'll make sure not to get hurt," Qi Shan said with a smile, as he began removing the bandages.
Xu Que said nothing. He didn't trust Qi Shan's promise. After all, the mission ahead was to supervise the life-and-death tasks of ten individuals!
He took two files and handed them to Qi Shan. "This is your next task. Remember, you are not allowed to intervene unless their lives are in grave danger."
As Qi Shan took the documents and read their contents, his face went pale. He could hardly believe that Xu Que was asking them to risk their lives!
"Xu, I'm afraid I… I don't know if I can handle the creatures in the harbor area…"
Before Qi Shan could finish, Xu Que gave his shoulder a reassuring pat, "Trust yourself, and trust them!"
Qi Shan stood frozen for a moment, then clenched the documents tightly and followed Xu Que out.
When they entered the training area on the first floor, Zhao Xian and the others were stunned. They hadn't expected Qi Shan to truly recover!
Xu Que ignored their surprise and clapped his hands. "Gather!"
As his command echoed, over three hundred people turned their attention to him.
Upon seeing that Zhao Xian and the others were already standing before Xu Que, the others realized what was happening.
Looking at the crowd before him, Xu Que nodded with satisfaction. "I am Xu Que, the temporary executive officer of the Bombastic Company. We have gathered here because I have a special mission that requires a large team to manage the situation."
Upon hearing Xu Que's title, Kun Shao's lips twitched, but the moment he heard the mention of a special mission, his expression turned serious.
Zhao Xian and the others, however, were not surprised, as Xu Que had informed them of this yesterday.
"Cao Bin, step forward!"
"Here!" A muscular man, whose build rivaled Qi Shan's, stepped forward.
Xu Que nodded approvingly at Cao Bin and called, "Zhang Hao, step forward!"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao's voice rang out as he took a step forward, standing beside Cao Bin.
Xu Que felt at ease with Zhao Xian's group.
"Guo Yuqi, Li He, step forward!" Xu Que called once again.
"Yes!" The two responded in unison, stepping to stand beside Cao Bin and Zhang Hao.
"You four are now promoted to team leaders of the Hunters," Xu Que said as he handed them the files. "This is today's mission. The personnel have been assigned to you, so you only need to call out their names. Remember, you are not to intervene unless the otherworldly creatures breach the outer perimeter."
"Yes!" The four answered in unison.
After assigning the special task, Xu Que turned his gaze to Zhao Xian and the others.
"Has the martial arts hall's team arrived?" Xu Que asked.
"They're here, waiting for you on the second floor," Huang Bo replied.
"Good, let's head out." Xu Que said as he turned and left the training area on the first floor.
He left the rest to the four team leaders and Qi Shan, as he only needed to cause a small eruption in the harbor area's dimensional rift.
On the second floor, reception room.
As Xu Que entered, several pairs of eyes turned toward him.
"Hello, Xu," a middle-aged man in martial arts attire greeted, cupping his fists.
"Master Zhao, greetings," Xu Que returned the salute.
"As per our agreement, these individuals have all entered C-grade dimensional spaces with Zhao Xian's group," Master Zhao said.
Xu Que's eyes swept over the group, and using his [Eye of Exploration], he checked each individual.
When he saw that most were at least D-grade level five or higher, Xu Que nodded in approval.
"Master Zhao, in a moment, you can head upstairs to sign the contract. Once the mission is completed, I'll have Zhao Xian deliver the resources to you," Xu Que said.
"If that's the case, I'll head up now to avoid interrupting your strategy planning," Master Zhao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Que felt a little awkward, but since the matter was settled, he smiled and saw him off.
Once Master Zhao left, Xu Que immediately handed four sets of documents to Zhao Xian and his team. "This mission is particularly difficult. You must secure the entrance."
Upon seeing the details of the West District dimensional space mission, Zhao Xian and his group immediately understood the peril involved.
After dividing the team into two groups, Xu Que stepped out on his own.
In the hallway, Xu Que took out his phone and dialed Old Peng's number.
"Hello, Xiao Xu, is someone there smashing windows or something?"
Xu Que was momentarily confused, not understanding what Old Peng was referring to.
Noticing Xu Que's silence, Old Peng pressed, "Aren't you online right now?"
"No, I was calling you about the harbor area's dimensional space," Xu Que quickly explained.
"You should stop worrying about the harbor area's dimensional space. You should get online and see what's happening. Many people are stirring things up, saying all kinds of things. You should check it out first," Old Peng said before abruptly hanging up.
"Wait, what?"
Xu Que was utterly bewildered. What could be more important than dealing with the dimensional rift?
As he opened his phone's live stream, the barrage of comments and messages overwhelmed him.
"Is this someone stirring the pot? Or is there someone behind all of this?"
While Xu Que tried to sift through the situation, a clamor rose from the first-floor lobby!
