Chapter 74

"Does this mean, Mr. Xu has met Bu Fan?" Upon hearing Xu Ji's question, Yu Zishan raised an eyebrow and asked softly.

"Indeed, I have met Bu Fan. He also came here to report his mission. However, since all of you, the Decepticon team members, want to buy information from me, I must know your relationship with Bu Fan! After all, our Fire Wolf team also needs to ensure the safety of the mission parties!" Xu Ji said with a righteous tone.

The people behind Xu Ji all sneered disdainfully. For those familiar with the wilderness rules, how could they not know that Xu Ji was lying?

For teams that rely on supply points for survival, within the supply points, there is nothing they cannot trade except for the base itself.

From small items like parking lots, residences, food, and weapons, to large-scale activities like hiring high-level warriors and exclusive base agreements, as long as it can make money, the team owners will not refuse.

And for something as effortless and quick to profit as selling information, the Fire Wolf team would not let it go. Many people would even give information as a favor.

"Mr. Xu's help is something we will remember, so we naturally won't let Mr. Xu suffer any loss. This is a third-stage mole rat's spirit core, a gift from Zishan to Mr. Xu, because Zishan wants to be friends with Mr. Xu! As for Bu Fan, we have some grudges with him!" Yu Zishan said with deep meaning.

But in his heart, he added, "I'm here to resolve this grudge!" Yu Zishan was a shrewd person. From Xu Ji's ambiguous attitude, he could tell that Xu Ji had some connection with Bu Fan.

However, he was unsure about the nature of their relationship, whether it was good or bad. Therefore, he could only reveal his grudge with Bu Fan to test Xu Ji's attitude.

Upon hearing Yu Zishan's words, a hint of joy indeed appeared on Xu Ji's face, just as Bu Fan had guessed. Xu Ji would not usually seek help from the Fire Wolf team to take revenge on Bu Fan, as his position was not secure. If the matter were to get out, his losses would be even greater.

So, the other way was to use the Fire Wolf team's influence to deal with Bu Fan.

But Xu Ji did not expect that what he had been seeking for so long would come so easily. The Decepticon team, as an E-level team and a well-known one at that, was undoubtedly powerful. Even if Xu Ji mobilized his network to find someone to deal with Bu Fan, it would be hard to find such a high-quality team.

Therefore, after making his decision, Xu Ji's expression instantly changed to one of warmth and enthusiasm. He then smiled and pushed the third-stage mole rat's spirit core back to Yu Zishan.

"Brother, you're too polite. I actually have something to trouble you with!" Xu Ji said with a smile as he pushed the spirit core back.

Yu Zishan's face showed a look of understanding, and he asked softly, "Could it be related to Bu Fan?"

"Exactly, since all of you have a grudge with him, I won't hide it from you. To be honest, I also have a deep grudge with that little bastard!"

"Let me warn you, you have to be careful. That little bastard, somehow, has at least the strength of a fourth-stage Warrior, but he set his recorded strength to zero, pretending to be weak. He tricked me badly and even forced me to give him a mission certificate!"

"Currently, most of our Fire Wolf team members are on the front lines. Those left behind are just low-level, unimportant guards, and they are too busy with missions to deal with that kid. So this time, I want to ask all of you for help. After the matter is settled, I will not forget your assistance!"

Xu Ji said with deep emotion, showing a grateful expression.

In Xu Ji's view, this matter was entirely beneficial for Yu Zishan and his team. Dealing with Bu Fan was just a side task, and they would gain the favor of a D-level team's logistics chief, which was a huge gain.

However, he did not know the true intention of Yu Zishan and his team. At this moment, Yu Zishan was indeed quite shocked.

He was shocked that Xu Ji said Bu Fan was a warrior with at least fourth-stage Warrior strength!

How could this be? After all, this kid was a zero-stage warrior back then, or he wouldn't have almost been killed by Mad Tiger. But from then until now, has it been a month? He became a fourth-stage Warrior!

Could it be that this kid was deliberately hiding his strength before? Or did he advance four levels in just a month, jumping from zero to fourth stage?

"Oh, if that's the case, can Mr. Xu tell me where Bu Fan is going?" Although he was surprised, Yu Zishan did not show it and asked calmly.

Yu Zishan, a well-known lone ranger, was an outstanding low-level warrior in both martial arts and strategy.

"Um, you all came at the right time. Bu Fan just left here not long ago. His mission is completed. Now he is either resting in the residential area of the base or on his way back to the city. If you go out now, you will likely catch up with him!" Xu Ji said to Yu Zishan and his team with a hateful expression, his face full of malice.

However, his expression quickly changed from malice to shock because Yu Zishan, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly produced a long spear in his hand, the tip of which was pointed at Xu Ji's throat.

"Sorry, Mr. Xu, I forgot to mention something. We do have a grudge with Bu Fan, but we are here to resolve it. So, we will not harm Bu Fan; we will protect him. If Mr. Xu has any other ideas, my spear doesn't recognize people, but I do!" Yu Zishan released a killing aura towards Xu Ji, speaking firmly.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Xu Ji's face. He did not expect the situation to turn so quickly. These bastards were actually here to help Bu Fan, and he had foolishly fallen into their trap.

"By the way, let me inform Mr. Xu. Our Decepticon team has already applied for a D-level team mission before coming here. The mission is now completed, so when we return to the city, we will also be a D-level team. At that time, we hope Mr. Xu will give us more guidance!" Yu Zishan said casually, but this statement filled Xu Ji's face with despair.

Because Yu Zishan's words were clear: they were also a D-level team now, so even if Xu Ji brought in the Fire Wolf team, they had nothing to fear.

While Xu Ji and Yu Zishan were clashing over Bu Fan, Bu Fan himself was walking out of the base tavern with a smile on his face. Just now, he had successfully obtained information about the Decepticon team from the tavern!
