"Are you planning to hire us?"
Su Ming looked at Xu Xiayan in sudden realization.
Xu Xiayan did not deny it. She merely smiled sweetly.
"This Hidden Wonderland is very important to Summer Chasing Smoke." Xu Xiayan continued, "The treasures inside are secondary. What matters most is that there's a troublesome matter we need to resolve."
As she said this, Xu Xiayan took a deep breath and uttered something that made everyone's expression change.
"I accepted a Rank SS Mission."
The moment she said this, Su Ming's reaction went without saying. Chi Qian and the others all stood up.
"A Rank SS Mission!?"
Including Chi Qian, all the girls cried out in shock.
As professionals, no one could be unaware of what the Rank SS difficulty meant.
This was a difficulty that absolutely never appeared under normal circumstances. It would only emerge when a crisis threatened the operation—or even the survival—of an entire Base City.
Although there was still Rank SSS above Rank SS, the appearance of a Rank SSS Mission meant that the Base City had truly encountered a crisis of annihilation.
Throughout history, Rank SSS Missions had appeared only once in Tianfeng City. That was when the Terror Breed that had once been sealed at the border of the continent, deep beneath Longyao City, manifested in the present world and rampaged across the surface, destroying one Base City after another.
Aside from that incident, Tianfeng City, the holy land of professionals with millions of professionals, had never seen another Rank SSS Mission.
For Tianfeng City, known as the center of the world, disasters capable of threatening it and plunging it into a crisis of destruction naturally could not be common.
Therefore, for Tianfeng City, the appearance of a Rank SS Mission already meant that something major had happened.
