Qin Siyang discovered something strange.
After his military camp was completed and Chu Baxing publicly appeared alongside Huo Dangkou, the mission order to kidnap Chu Baxing from the Annhilation Church was actually withdrawn.
[Attention everyone! Mission No. 079: Kidnap Chu Baxing has now been withdrawn. Please stop carrying it out.]
Qin Siyang stared at the screen, stunned, "What does this mean?"
This was the first time he had ever seen a posted mission withdrawn, and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.
"Can missions actually be withdrawn? Could it be that Chu Xiaoang can even handle the Annhilation Church?"
However, when he saw that the [Assassinate Chu Xiaoang] mission was still hanging high on the mission list, Qin Siyang immediately dismissed the idea.
If Chu Xiaoang really had that ability, he should first clean up his own mess.
"Why did the people who wanted to kidnap Chu Baxing give up now? He hasn't even done anything particularly impressive. Didn't he just accompany Huo Dangkou to inspect the military camp?"
Qin Siyang couldn't help thinking it over carefully, trying to figure out the reason.
After all, the mission order to kidnap him was still there. Every time he thought about it, it made him feel as if a thorn were stuck in his back, leaving him uncomfortable all over.
Since the mission to kidnap Chu Baxing could be withdrawn, then Qin Siyang could definitely make it happen too.
After mulling it over repeatedly, Qin Siyang finally understood the key.
"Maybe... other people think that Chu Baxing publicly appeared with Huo Dangkou, so Chu Baxing is the actual person in control of the Sequence Independent Regiment?"
"And because this Sequence Regiment has an independent organization and doesn't have to obey Chu Xiaoang's orders, they suspect that a rift has developed between the father and son?"
Qin Siyang slapped his forehead, "Could it be that they think Chu Xiaoang has another heir besides Chu Baxing, which is why they canceled the Annhilation Church's mission?"
The more Qin Siyang thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
If the relationship between an only son and his father had developed problems, other than half-brothers fighting over their father's inheritance, what other reason could there be?
As long as Chu Baxing was a son with a normal brain, in a situation like this, there was an eighty or ninety percent chance that he had discovered his father's illegitimate child, perhaps more than one.
"I guess the people who wanted to kidnap Chu Baxing and threaten Chu Xiaoang figured that the father and son weren't on the same side, so they might as well leave Chu Baxing alive and let him cause Chu Xiaoang some trouble."
Qin Siyang couldn't help sighing, "I thought he'd done something amazing enough to make people wary of him. Turns out he's still just relying on his dad."
"Too bad I don't have a dad."
But not having a father did not make Qin Siyang particularly sad.
How could he feel the pain of losing a dad he never had?
Today, Qin Siyang also received some good news.
Wang Defa, Wang Deyou, Wang Dezhong, and She Haoqiang had been training with Chu Xiaoang's special combat company, and they regularly reported their progress to Qin Siyang.
As the saying went, methods were more important than effort.
Chu Xiaoang's special combat company consisted of a group of Sequence Ability users with extensive experience hunting gods. Every one of them was Sequence Level Four or Sequence Level Five.
By learning from them, the four of them made rapid progress.
As early as their first week after joining the special combat company, the four of them had earned five bottles of Sequence Potions through their records of hunting gods outside, and all of them broke through to Sequence Level Two.
Even Qin Siyang had to admit that the special combat company really had some skill.
It even made the Chu Xiaoang in his memories look more pleasing to the eye.
["Boss Qin, I'm here to report our recent progress on behalf of A-You, A-Zhong, and Old Snake,"] Wang Defa's deep voice was full of cheer.
"A-Fa, go ahead."
["The four of us all broke through to Sequence Level Three today. We're at a restaurant drinking to celebrate."]
["Sequence Level Three? You collected dozens of bottles of Sequence Potions in half a month? Don't tell me you took the potion quotas belonging to the other people in the special combat company?"]
["How could we! If we really did that, wouldn't we be embarrassing Boss Qin in front of outsiders? We earned them ourselves. We're already skilled at fighting ordinary small gods. Following Captain Shi and sweeping through the area outside the safe zone day and night, our accumulation naturally goes much faster."]
"Really? That's pretty good!"
No wonder Qin Siyang had thought they had relied on outside help to break through their Sequence levels.
In just over twenty days, they had gone from Sequence Level One to Sequence Level Three.
Even if they couldn't compare to someone as extraordinarily talented as Qin Siyang, they could still be considered outstanding.
Thinking about those four local ruffians, the changes in them really were earth-shattering.
"Has life in Area 4397 been going smoothly?"
["Very smoothly! Captain Shi trains us, Director Qian has already arranged everything with the local administration bureau, and all we have to do is kill, kill, kill. It's incredibly simple."]
Qin Siyang smiled, "As long as you don't hate fighting. If you think your current life is pretty good, then all I can say is that the good days are still ahead. Your families are all doing well now. Those who work are working, those who go to school are going to school, and Old Snake's sister's paralysis has already been cured."
["Really? Old Snake, did you hear that? Boss Qin cured your sister's illness."]
["Thank you, Boss Qin! I'll definitely train hard here! I'll repay your kindness!"]
Qin Siyang asked again, "You just said that dealing with small gods is no longer a problem for you, right?"
["That's right! The four of us can handle most small gods on our own. For particularly troublesome small gods, like Abyssal Hounds and Blood Moon Tarantula, which are both powerful and appear in groups, we can't deal with them yet."]
"You're only Sequence Level Three. That's already pretty good!"
["Hehe! I guess we're doing okay."]
"In that case, don't waste your time on small gods anymore. I'll have someone send you Sequence Potions that will let you break through directly to Sequence Level Four. After you break through, follow the special combat company and hunt medium-sized gods."
Wang Defa's voice trembled, ["Huh? We... hunt medium-sized gods?"]
"That's right. The special combat company is originally made up of special forces capable of surrounding and killing medium-sized gods. Hunting small gods before was basically just playing house for the four of you. I don't have time to personally train you, so follow Captain Shi and learn as much as you can."
["This... okay, got it."]
"You don't need to be too scared. I could already solo-kill medium-sized gods when I was Sequence Level Four. The four of you will be Sequence Level Four, and you'll have the experienced special combat company with you. Nothing can go wrong."
["What? Boss Qin, you could solo-kill medium-sized gods at Sequence Level Four?"]
"It's nothing special. That's enough. I'll wait to hear the news of your victorious return."
———
After hanging up, the four of them looked at the feast in front of them, but none of them had any appetite left.
"Do you think Boss Qin will think the four of us are useless?"
She Haoqiang shook his head, "I don't think so. Captain Shi is Sequence Level Five and can solo-kill weaker medium-sized gods. Maybe in Boss Qin's eyes, he can barely count as useless..."
"Makes sense."
