"Ying, is there another mission?"
Luo Yu sounded puzzled.
Then, before Team Leader Ying could speak, he said, "Just let my Summoning Beast tag along on this mission."
"I won't be going. I still have to prepare for the Seasonal Event in the Mid-Tier Ranking."
"My Summoning Beast should be able to handle it without me lifting a finger anyway."
Team Leader Ying paused. "Seasonal Event?"
"They have those now?"
At her words, Luo Yu blinked, then realized what was going on.
Perhaps Seasonal Events had only started being held in the last few thousand years.
It was perfectly normal for Team Leader Ying, who had come to the Space Station long ago, not to know about them.
"Don't you read the patch notes?"
Luo Yu asked.
Team Leader Ying rolled her eyes. "I can't play ranked anyway. Why would I read those?"
Luo Yu's mouth twitched. "You're pretty out of the loop, then."
He immediately told Team Leader Ying everything the Valkyrie had told him about the Seasonal Event.
"Ranked matches are that interesting now?"
Luo Yu said, "Anyway, once the Void Forces get driven back to the Sea of Nothingness in a while, things won't be so tense at the border."
"Want to take some leave and come back with me to join the event?"
Team Leader Ying rejected him without a second thought. "If you're participating, why would I go? So you can beat me up?"
"Unless you form a contract with me and let me be your teammate."
Luo Yu coughed lightly. "I swear, I really don't have enough contract slots."
"Otherwise, with your talent, Ying, I'd have jumped at the chance to contract you ages ago."
Team Leader Ying smiled. "You're just saying that to make me happy."
The two chatted a while longer.
Then
