"Swish, swish, swish"
The agile figure moved swiftly through the woods, the undulating terrain and dense branches doing nothing to hinder its movements. If Caesar had seen it, he would have surely exclaimed, "Monkey!"
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Xia Mi stopped abruptly, muttering to herself with a pained expression, "Why are there so many mosquitoes!"
Xia Mi looked up at the sky speechlessly. The sky was clear and full of stars, but the forest was dark. As the queen of the earth and mountains, no terrain was too difficult for her to traverse, but if she ran too fast and yawned, a small insect flying in the air would end up in her mouth.
What bad luck!
After attending the preparatory course at Kassel College for a month without any problems, Xia Mi felt it was time to ask her teacher for leave. Her mentally challenged brother needed to go to the hospital, and as a considerate and loving younger sister, how could she not go with him?
Xia Mi had prepared her emotions, intending to use her tragic past to persuade the teacher to make an exception. However, before she could even explain her reason for requesting leave, the teacher signed the leave slip and said that as long as her exam results were satisfactory, the school would not enforce attendance.
They don't even check attendance! Is the preparatory class in Kassel really this irresponsible? Do you really think slaying the dragon is a sure thing? Xia Mi's eyes widened. What was the point of pretending to be a model student for a whole month?!
Damn it, this whole month has been wasted! I wonder how many of my colleagues have already come to explore. She absolutely must produce the perfect mission report so that that damned client can evade Kassel's surveillance and sneak off to White Emperor City to rob the tomb.
Xia Mi had already explored the entire area, thoroughly familiarizing herself with the terrain and surveillance systems. Kassel College had few control points, and they weren't connected, but the areas lacking surveillance were natural barriers. The college was only concerned with humans; they hadn't expected dragons to use such stealthy methods to infiltrate.
Logically speaking, Xia Mi only needed to mark the terrain and monitoring points around Baidi City according to the mission requirements. As for how that annoying Indiana Downs used the map to rob Norton's tomb, she could have ignored it.
But, but! There were nine competitors, and she was the last one to arrive!
If she doesn't deliver an unexpected result, her $500,000 will be gone!
Xia Mi decided to put herself in the employer's shoes and think from their perspective. Indiana Downs' real goal was to bypass the heavy blockade of Kassel College and enter Baidi City.
Baidi City is underwater, but its entire structure is still enormous. However, to enter Baidi City without attracting attention from the river's surface and above, one could actually descend directly from the ground. No matter how vigilant Kassel College was, they could never have imagined that someone could dig a tunnel out unnoticed in a single day!
Xia Mi sensed the underground structure and found the location outside the monitoring range that was closest to Baidi City. Then, she gently stepped on it, and the ground trembled slightly, creating a pit a meter deep.
This process was repeated, and the pit became deeper and deeper, with the pit walls being compacted. Xia Mi thoughtfully built an underground corridor for his employer that led directly to Baidi City.
Finally, they stopped near Baidi City and marked a stress point. As long as they exerted force at this point, the soil below would collapse, and groundwater would flow in, allowing people to swim in unnoticed.
Xia Mi retraced her steps, lightly tapping the pit wall with her toes a few times before darting out like a gecko. Then, she looked around, kicked down a tree, and placed it across the pit entrance. Having done this simple camouflage, she considered her mission more than accomplished.
Half a million dollars! If she can't even get half a million for this kind of service, Xia Mi swears she'll beat that arrogant Indiana Towns to a pulp through the internet.
"Gurgle..."
Xia Mi clutched her stomach and suddenly realized a serious problem: she had forgotten to bring food.
When she came by green train, she pretended to be a good granddaughter and ate eggs and pancakes from a few old ladies along the way. Then she rushed over without stopping and diligently did her task. She hadn't eaten anything for most of the day.
The King of Earth and Mountains leaned against a tree, her legs weak, gazing up at the starry sky. Even her simple-minded brother had three days' worth of potato chips, while she was huffing and puffing as she dug holes for others, her legs trembling with hunger.
That's terrible, being broke is truly awful.
A gust of wind blew by, and Xia Mi's nose twitched. It smelled like barbecue!
Xia Mi became alert, crouched down and followed the scent, and saw a dilapidated wooden house in front of her.
The cabin was very clean, with tablecloths and plastic bags neatly folded. There were two boxes next to it, one containing a little less food and the other containing three cans of beer.
The barbecue grill was against the wall, with various spice jars stacked on top and a large bag of charcoal underneath.
Xia Mi squatted in front of the barbecue grill, her mouth watering uncontrollably. The weather was still quite cold in March, and the ingredients were still very fresh—perfect for eating!
Who left these things? There's a surveillance camera nearby at Kassel College; could it be one of their people?
Xia Mi immediately dismissed the idea. What legitimate organization carrying out a mission would bring a barbecue grill and beer up the mountain?
This was left by a passing traveler; it's reserved for someone who's meant to see it!
"It doesn't have a name on it," she whispered. "It'll spoil by tomorrow anyway, it's such a waste not to eat it."
Xia Mi rekindled the charcoal fire, placed the ingredients from the box on the grill, brushed them with oil, and sprinkled them with seasonings.
Before long, the food was ready. Xia Mi picked up a skewer of corn and ate it. The corn was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and comforting.
"Norton's skills are nothing special, are they?" Xia Mi secretly felt proud of her ability to control the heat.
Enjoying barbecue and drinks, I leisurely gaze at the stars all by myself, and all my worries disappear.
Xia Mi finished eating everything by herself, let out a satisfied burp, extinguished the fire, and cleaned up the mess.
As she was leaving, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She fumbled in her pocket and pulled out her return train ticket, a few five- and ten-yuan bills, and a few one-yuan coins.
"Not enough money..."
Xia Mi looked at the 2000 chrysanthemum one-yuan coin in her hand and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She placed the coin flat in her palm, pressed the number with her index finger, and gently wiped it.
The new version of the one-yuan coin in 2000 became the 000 one-yuan coin without any modification!
An extremely rare error coin has been made!
These coins could easily fetch thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan at auction!
Xia Mi placed the coin in the center of the barbecue grill and weighed it down with a small stone.
"Keep the change, please."
"belch."
The King of Earth and Mountains let out a burp, suddenly realizing he had discovered a new way to make money. He slowly left the cabin and disappeared into the night.
