In casual conversation, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian turned into West Street, heading towards the Hunter's Guild.

At this time, it was still early, and the guild hadn't officially opened yet, with only a few cleaners busy inside.

Jiang Baimian wasn't in a hurry at all, slowly circling the hall.

When she returned to the starting point, she "complained" to Shang Jianyao:

"Without an introduction from the guild's high-level management...

"It's too unfair, unjust, and not transparent enough!"

Inside "Pangu Biology," each department had to post the information of the main person in charge and the person responsible for related matters on the wall.

"Maybe it's upstairs." Shang Jianyao looked up at the ceiling.

"Then who are they posting it for?" Jiang Baimian found several rows of chairs at the edge of the hall and sat down.

"It's so cold..." she rubbed her hands, lamenting "loudly."

"You can get up and move around." Shang Jianyao said seriously.

Jiang Baimian was just about to say, "Wow, that's a surprisingly normal suggestion," when she heard Shang Jianyao add:

"Do a dance."

"..." Jiang Baimian said, feeling amused and annoyed, "Once the mission is completed, I can give you a vacation, let you dance however you want, and go wherever you want to dance!"

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up, and he fell into contemplation, seemingly considering how to better and faster investigate the cause of the disappearance of that other "Old Task Force."

When many ruin hunters had eaten breakfast and came to the hall, preparing to choose missions and struggle for a living, the guild's staff members gradually came down from upstairs, either entering their positions or starting various machines.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian stood up and led Shang Jianyao towards the round platform area.

At this moment, a figure passed by, cutting in front of them.

Because Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were both quite outstanding in appearance, even if they wore clothes that were not essentially different from most ruin hunters and made simple disguises, they were as conspicuous as fireflies in the night. Therefore, the person subconsciously turned his head and glanced at them.

This was a man over 1.8 meters tall, almost the same height as Shang Jianyao – quite rare in the generally malnourished ruin hunter population.

He wore a dark black thick woolen coat, was around thirty years old, with black hair and blue eyes, and regular features. Although not handsome, he combined the characteristics of both the Ashlands and Red River races, with more pronounced features and a particularly straight nose.

At the same time, he had an air of calmness and confidence in his gestures.

Watching the man walk to a window and take out a hunter badge, Shang Jianyao suddenly said:

"A nose that's too pointy isn't a good thing..."

Jiang Baimian carefully recalled it before whispering with a smile:

"Are you saying his nose tip is blown so red?"

The man just now had a pretty good overall image, and looked like someone not to be trifled with. The only flaw was that the tip of his nose was severely red, making him slightly comical.

"The wind outside is too cold." Shang Jianyao nodded, raising his hand to rub his own nose tip.

"You weren't much better when you first entered the hall..." Jiang Baimian hadn't finished speaking when she saw the guild clerk opposite the man stand up and hand the hunter badge out of the window with both hands, appearing very respectful.

A high position... Jiang Baimian muttered silently, walking towards the window at the far edge.

"I'll go." Shang Jianyao took a few quick steps, surpassing the team leader.

"Don't." Jiang Baimian quickly stopped him.

She looked around, forcefully suppressing her voice:

"Leave the general targets to me.

"Don't overuse your abilities, be careful not to expose yourself. Good steel should be used on good blades."

For Awakened, keeping their abilities secret is also a very important matter.

If the enemy finds out, the ability will not only be difficult to use, but also easily targeted.

"Huh? What did you say?" Shang Jianyao touched his ear.

"..." At this moment, Jiang Baimian finally realized what it meant for the tables to turn.

She asked through gritted teeth:

"Is my voice too soft?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao nodded heavily.

"Then I'll keep it simple." Jiang Baimian returned to her normal volume, "I'll do it!"

After speaking, without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to protest, she walked to the window at the far edge.

Inside was a girl in her early twenties, with short hair and big eyes, of average appearance, but very clean and tidy.

She wore a name tag on her chest, which read "Su Xiaoman."

"I want to post a mission." Jiang Baimian showed a bright smile.

Faced with this kind of beautiful, polite, and straightforward woman, whether male or female, people would naturally have a little affection. Su Xiaoman was no exception, and said with slight enthusiasm:

"What kind of mission is it?

"The review time for different missions varies. If you can find a hunter with enough credit points to vouch for you, or have multiple experiences of posting missions and fulfilling them seriously, the corresponding time will be reduced a lot."

"A very simple mission, the reward is a military canned good." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "I think you can complete this mission too."

As she spoke, she took out the braised beef can she had prepared from her pocket.

Seeing that the reward was already in place, Su Xiaoman felt even more relieved and asked with a smile:

"What is the mission?"

"I want to know which high-level people are in the guild." Jiang Baimian put on a knowing expression, "I've just become a 'rookie hunter,' and I'm very unfamiliar with the guild. I want to learn more about it."

Su Xiaoman's smile remained unchanged as she sincerely reminded:

"Although President Christina does have some missions with high confidentiality requirements that cannot be publicly released, none of them can be accepted by 'rookie hunters.' You should do some simple ones first, raise your points, and consider this kind of thing after becoming a 'formal hunter'."

"President Christina..." Jiang Baimian repeated, smiling frankly, "I didn't even know there were missions that weren't publicly released until you said that, see, a real rookie. I want to learn more about the guild, mainly because I'm afraid of accidentally offending someone I shouldn't. You seem to be quite clear about it, why don't you take this mission?"

Su Xiaoman accepted Jiang Baimian's statement:

"It's not that important.

"President Christina is the vice president transferred from Initial City. She is responsible for communicating, coordinating, and cooperating with the guild headquarters and guilds in different regions. At the same time, she also controls all missions that are not convenient for public release and has direct contact with many higher-level hunters."

A 500-gram can of braised beef is worth at least 1 Ore in the Wildlands City, and sometimes even more. For a guild staff member with a monthly salary of less than 30 Ore, it is a considerable temptation.

"How old is she?" Jiang Baimian asked casually.

"In her thirties, with long golden hair, light blue eyes, and about your height. She's quite cheerful." Su Xiaoman roughly described Vice President Christina's characteristics, so as not to let the rookie in front of her offend someone she shouldn't.

"Hmm..." Jiang Baimian turned to ask, "What about the other high-level people?"

Su Xiaoman explained in detail:

"The president is also the city lord, Xu Liyan. He's about my age and was only elected as city lord a few years ago..."

Jiang Baimian already knew this information and was even aware that Xu Liyan was the grandson of the greatest city lord, Xu Erde. His father, Xu Wugong, had also been a city lord, but died of illness in his forties, when Xu Liyan was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

"The president is mainly responsible for finance and inspection. He doesn't come over often, he just sends a few subordinates to manage." Su Xiaoman continued, "We also have two vice presidents, one is called Cui En, and the other is called Zhou Linfeng. President Cui mainly manages us, the Hunter's Hall, and President Zhou manages security and our own mercenaries. Hehe, you can join too, and you can quit if you want."

"What do they look like?" Jiang Baimian asked in a gentler way.

"President Cui is a little under fifty years old. He started as a staff member and later worked as a ruin hunter for a while, so he understands all aspects of the business. His hair isn't white at all, just not that much, tall and thin, with a somewhat large nose..." Su Xiaoman recalled the appearances of the high-level people, "President Zhou looks about forty years old, very strong and sturdy, his arms are as thick as my legs. His hair is cut very short, and he looks fierce, but he's actually quite amiable..."

"Aren't there any other high-level people?" Jiang Baimian didn't find anyone who matched the age.

Su Xiaoman thought for a moment and said:

"There's also Chief Wang.

"He's the 'Chief Hunter' of our guild."

"Chief Hunter" is an honorary title of the Hunter's Guild. There is only one in each region, and it mainly depends on seniority, not current ability.

"What's his name?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"Wang Chongyue." Su Xiaoman replied, "He's in his fifties. If no one introduces him, he's just an ordinary old man, but he joined the guild when it was first established, and later rose to 'Master Hunter,' completing countless missions. He's now in charge of the guild's training department, including the training of new hunters. If there are classes, you can sign up to learn something, the tuition fee is just symbolic."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.

Seeing that "Chief Hunter" Wang Chongyue also didn't match the age, she stopped there and asked with a smile:

"Are there any other precautions?"

Su Xiaoman said a lot more, and more and more ruin hunters came over and started lining up.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian smiled and pushed the military can into the window:

"You completed this mission very well."

Su Xiaoman looked up at the surveillance camera not far away, her eyes flickering slightly, and said:

"It has to be more formal.

"I'll help you post this mission right away."

As she spoke, she created the mission.

Jiang Baimian responded thoughtfully:

"Let's call the mission 'Assist in Understanding the Guild'."

Not directly pointing to the guild's high-level people.

Su Xiaoman nodded, quickly submitted the mission, and reviewed it.

Then, she took out a hunter badge, swiped it lightly, and accepted the mission.

Then, she clicked "Mission Completed."

"This way it's very formal." After doing this, Su Xiaoman smiled and took the can, "And I can accumulate credit points, and you can have more contract fulfillment credit."

Most importantly, this wouldn't be considered private transaction.

"Not bad." Jiang Baimian praised.

She turned to ask:

"Who was that person just now?

"I saw your colleagues respect him very much."

She was referring to the man in the black woolen coat.

Su Xiaoman thought for a moment and lowered her voice:

"I can't say his name.

"I can only tell you that he's not even thirty years old yet, and he's already a 'Senior Hunter'!"

This was the level just below "Master Hunter," which was enough to show that the person was very outstanding in one of the aspects of resources, connections, and strength.
