Darlwinist nodded vigorously as if infused with endless fighting spirit by Xiu Yi's words, his figure quickly disappearing into the depths of the main street...

"Come on, folks, it's time for us to go too."

After Captain Xiu Yi's instructions, the two finally exited their mechas. Kevin looked as though he hadn't fully woken up yet, "Hey, how did your chat with that kid go?"

"He's a young man full of fighting spirit but too reckless, might taste a bit of defeat." Xiu Yi couldn't help but sigh, saying so even though he himself didn't feel old. However, with the accumulation of battle experience, the team had now become somewhat experienced, far from being compared to what it was on the day they started.

The Mardis battle sector boasted several branches of the Bounty Tribe, and this building covering an area of 20,000 square meters was one of them.

As they disembarked from their mechas, the dusty and tired group of four quickly made their way inside, looking around... all they could hear and see was the busy crowd, with voices buzzing like flies, either that or Intelligence Officers carrying office documents quickly passing by... or several people gathered around a Light Screen projection, discussing something in low voices with accompanying gestures.

"Phew, I didn't expect the Mardis branch to be so noisy, it's annoying." Red Ghost let out a big sigh, her fondness for quiet at odds with the noise of every guild.

Xiu Yi, on the other hand, liked this bustling atmosphere very much, "Stop complaining, Red Ghost sis, this is also part of the mission."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're the captain..." Red Ghost said the word 'yes' three times, her tone somewhat resigned.

Walking straight ahead without pausing, Dream Star quickly crossed the lower comprehensive service area and directly stepped onto the passage leading upstairs. With their special 'level' hunter credentials, they were able to take the elevator without any hindrance, finally stopping at the senior member reception area.

This place was noisy as well, but the volume was somewhat lower...

According to official mission requirements, one must reach 'level' hunter qualifications to be eligible to accept mission No. 8 for satellite tasks. This was a security measure for the welfare of the Bounty Tribe hunters.

Having been back in Mardis for several days, Xiu Yi had originally planned to contact Feng Yi through the Blazing Regiment, but since John was also unable to contact him, it was coincidentally at this time that he received an A-level mission. Seizing this opportunity, Xiu Yi could prove himself in the suggested manner; as soon as he proposed his idea, it was instantly approved by all three teammates, resulting in this scene.

It couldn't be denied that the four of them were now full of fighting spirit. They were no longer that naive team which had just entered the arena but had already acquired the strength to stand on their own. Whenever they imagined that Brother Feng might learn of their experiences through various channels, they felt an immense sense of achievement— even Red Ghost, who had nearly reached level 1 strength, longed for a chance to spar with Feng Yi.

Despite knowing she was far from matching Feng Yi's strength, Red Ghost was eager to see a look of surprise prompted by her rapid progress on Feng Yi's usually calm face.

Accepting an A-level Bounty often required official face-to-face certification. At the reception window, Xiu Yi briefly stated his intention, "Miss, I would like information on A-level file number 1502."

"Please verify identity, one moment."

The beautiful Intelligence Officer, in her formulaic tone, swiftly identified the group's identity information. In an instant, a variety of information about the Dream Star team appeared on the computer.

The Intelligence Officer glanced over the information, not having the time to look closely at the various honors. She only needed to note the team information and each bounty hunter's strength evaluation, and promptly spoke, "Mr. Xiu Yi, are you sure you want to know about the 1502 mission?"

"Yes."

"Information on 1502 involves S-level top secrecy; with your current qualifications, we cannot disclose the full content to you, though this does not affect the mission itself."

Xiu Yi pondered briefly, "Tell us what we are authorized to know."

The Intelligence Officer said, "The 1502 mission requires exploration around Satellite No. 8, and according to official statements, a small asteroid will collide with Satellite No. 8 tomorrow. Because of the uniqueness of this mission, currently only 'stage 3' qualified hunters or higher are allowed to participate in the investigation. Considering the uncertainty of this mission, we allow withdrawal requests during the mission."

"May I know the nature of this investigative mission?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiu Yi, but I cannot pull up detailed files with your clearance."

The group briefly exchanged glances and decided not to press further. Right at that moment, the very discerning Xixi suddenly noticed that there was another team enlisted for the mission, totaling six people, "Miss, why is there another squad involved in the investigation?"

According to the Intelligence Officer, support for the Satellite No. 8 mission had clear time constraints; it was tomorrow. Mardis belonged to the terrestrial planet closest to Satellite No. 8, and for now, there were only two teams like this. Bounty hunters from distant star regions couldn't make it in time; traveling to Satellite No. 8 by space shuttle would take at least three days. There were other reasons, unknown to the hunters (concerning mysterious warships and unknown magnetic fields), which meant that only two teams were involved.

Of course, in this respect, the military might also deploy investigative personnel, which fell outside of the Bounty Tribe's purview.

The reward for this mission was extremely generous: 1000 honor points plus a one-time choice of a 500-point equipment privilege. This meant not only could one obtain 1000 honor points, but also a free equipment selection right—whether it was a Space Crystal, Combat Power Tester, Mecha, or exchanging directly for Gold Coins, the value of the equipment was up to 500 points.

That was indeed good news. Seeing such a rich reward, everyone naturally became overjoyed. Before Xiu Yi could respond, Red Ghost asked eagerly, "Are we required to travel to Satellite No. 8 on our own, or is there another means?"
