Opportunity Has Arrived! Today!

"Chen Niu."

Inside the barracks, Jiang Bei called Chen Niu over.

There were only the two of them in the entire barracks.

"Brother Bei, what is it?"

Chen Niu revealed an honest, simple smile.

"Can you do me a favor?"

Jiang Bei asked in a low voice.

"Just say the word, Brother Bei. What's this talk about favors? If it hadn't been for you this time, I might've died back in Sunset Village long ago!"

Chen Niu said with a smile.

"I have a list here. Go to the General Store in camp and buy everything on it. Here's the silver, along with payment for your trouble."

Jiang Bei placed a note and a money pouch into Chen Niu's hands.

"A list?"

Chen Niu looked at the things in his hands and was slightly stunned.

"Yes. Be careful when buying them. It'd be best if no one notices you."

Jiang Bei cautioned him.

"Alright, Brother Bei! Leave it to me!"

Chen Niu readily agreed.

Though he was somewhat puzzled as to why Jiang Bei was not going himself.

He trusted Jiang Bei.

The two had once belonged to the Ren-Rank Camp. Jiang Bei had saved his life more than once, and he had always been deeply grateful.

Now that it was merely such a small matter, naturally he would not refuse.

"Good brother."

Jiang Bei patted Chen Niu on the shoulder as well.

Lin Jie wanted to kill him, and he wanted to kill Lin Jie too.

No matter who made the first move, he had to make preparations early.

The items on this list were precisely his preparations. However, Lin Jie might already have sent people to watch his movements.

It was better not to expose himself.

But there were not many people he could trust to make the purchases for him.

Chen Niu, however, was trustworthy. He had known the original owner of this body for many years.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Jiang Bei had slept very lightly last night.

Although Lin Jie definitely did not have the nerve to make a move at night.

It was never wrong to be more cautious.

And it was not only Lin Jie he had to guard against.

In this Death Squad Camp, he also had to beware of Barbarians who might launch a night raid at any moment.

"Jiang Bei, the Deputy Camp Commander wants you to come over."

Just then, a soldier came to find him and said this.

"The Deputy Camp Commander? Alright, I understand."

Jiang Bei's expression shifted slightly, and he nodded.

In the other ten military camps, the ones in command were all captains.

Only the Death Squad Camp had a Camp Commander and a Deputy Camp Commander.

The original owner of this body had been here for over a month, yet had never once seen this Camp Commander.

According to his memories, the original owner had heard several soldiers mention that even the Death Squad Camp's Camp Commander knew how dangerous this place was. Usually, he himself did not dare stay here all the time.

Everything was managed by Deputy Camp Commander Xiang Kun.

That showed just how perilous the Death Squad Camp was.

He had to carry out a mission as soon as possible and get out of this hellhole.

At that thought, Jiang Bei felt a sense of urgency rise within him.

A moment later.

He arrived at the tent where Xiang Kun was staying.

"Commander Xiang."

Jiang Bei clasped his hands in salute.

"Jiang Bei, you're here!"

Seeing him, Xiang Kun immediately rose with a smile and walked over.

His broad palm patted Jiang Bei's shoulder. "I heard you killed a Ranked Barbarian in Sunset Village yesterday? Your body really has gotten a lot sturdier. When did you break into the ranks? You did it without a sound."

"Just a few days ago. I stumbled into it by chance and was lucky enough to break through."

Jiang Bei said.

"Excellent! Our Death Squad Camp has gained another ranked soldier! But as far as I know, aren't you still one mission short of being able to apply for a transfer?"

Xiang Kun asked.

"Yes."

Jiang Bei nodded.

"Perfect. There's a mission here right now, so I'll leave it to you!"

Xiang Kun said with a smile.

"A mission? What mission?"

Jiang Bei's expression shifted slightly as he asked.

"A group of Barbarians has appeared near Sanmen Town. We still don't know the exact situation, so we need someone to investigate. You won't need to fight. As long as you gather some intelligence, the mission will count as complete. So, what do you say? Your Deputy Camp Commander hasn't treated you badly, has he?"

A smile rested on Xiang Kun's lips. "All you need to do is make a trip to Sanmen Town, and your mission count will reach ten. When you return, I can apply to have you transferred out of the Death Squad Camp."

"If they dare invade a town, this group of Barbarians must be quite formidable."

Jiang Bei said gravely.

"Yes, I admit that. But every mission carries risks. And you won't be going alone this time. I've dispatched several others, including another Ranked Martial Artist. You can rest assured!"

Xiang Kun said.

"A Ranked Martial Artist? Who is it?"

"They're already waiting at the camp gate. You'll know once you get there!"

Xiang Kun said.

Hearing this, Jiang Bei considered it for a moment, then nodded and turned to leave the tent.

Missions that generally did not require killing enemies and only required investigation were considered relatively easy.

But he and Xiang Kun had not known each other before. Why would Xiang Kun help him?

Still, Xiang Kun was the Deputy Camp Commander and had personally named him. It truly would not be easy to refuse.

He would first go see who this Ranked Martial Artist at the camp gate was...

With that thought, Jiang Bei did not head straight for the camp gate. Instead, he returned to his own barracks, prepared all his things, and only then went to the gate.

At the camp gate.

Seven or eight figures had already been waiting for some time.

At the same time, several horses had been led out.

Jiang Bei's eyes narrowed, instantly locking onto the most familiar figure among them!

It was none other than Lin Jie!

"Lin Jie? It's actually him?"

Jiang Bei's heart stirred.

At this moment, how could he still fail to understand?

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Most likely, Lin Jie had given Xiang Kun some benefit and gotten Xiang Kun to assign the two of them together.

Furthermore, it was said that Lin Jie had a brother-in-law who served as a Battalion Commander in Tiger Camp. Even Xiang Kun had to show him some respect.

So that was why Xiang Kun had suddenly summoned him.

It seemed Lin Jie could no longer hold himself back and was preparing to make a move against him. The only question was whether he planned to act on the road, or after reaching Sanmen Town, using the Barbarians' hands...

If it had been before.

Jiang Bei naturally would not have dared.

But now, no one knew that he had already broken through to Ninth Rank Great Training.

What was there to fear from a mere Lin Jie?

None of the people beside him had entered the ranks. Even if they had all been bought off by Lin Jie and attacked together, they would only become Merit Points on his panel!

Besides, he had long wanted to find a chance to get rid of that beast.

Now that this opportunity had come knocking at his door.

How could he possibly let it slip away?

He had made ample preparations precisely to kill Lin Jie.

"Oh? Brother Jiang is here!"

At that moment, Lin Jie noticed Jiang Bei as well. Smiling, he walked over. "The Deputy Camp Commander said he was sending another ranked soldier with us to Sanmen Town. I never expected it would be you, Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Bei sneered inwardly at the sight.

Yesterday, he had been furious and beside himself. Today, it was Brother Jiang?

Should he say Lin Jie was acting well, or that he simply could not act at all?

"Enough nonsense. Let's go!"

Jiang Bei shouted coldly, then stepped forward and swung himself onto a horse.

"Brother Jiang, I heard you entered the ranks? Congratulations!"

A hawk-nosed man beside him looked over and clasped his hands in greeting.

"You're too kind!"

Jiang Bei returned the gesture.

This man was Ye Fei. They had carried out missions together before and could be considered comrades who had fought side by side.

He simply did not know whether Ye Fei was now an enemy or a friend.

Lin Jie's expression was somewhat cold, but when he thought of how his plan was about to succeed, he endured it.

Jiang Bei, Jiang Bei, let's see how much longer you can keep jumping around!

With that thought, Lin Jie mounted his horse as well.

Then, led by Lin Jie and Jiang Bei, the group galloped toward Sanmen Town!
