Everyone scrambled to look at the screens, some glanced for a couple of seconds before joining the queue.
The three of them quickly jotted down codes in their small notebooks.
In her past life, Xu Qian had worked various odd jobs and remembered this. Her hand speed was very fast. For example, for saving people, she would write "Save," followed by the location and code; for collecting supplies, she would write the supply name.
Upon receiving a mission, there would be detailed instructions. One only needed to note down the general task content.
Exactly five minutes later, Xu Qian stood up to queue, followed by Mei Yuebai.
Gu Qing was sweating nervously. He had only managed to write down half of it. How could they remember so quickly?
"Take a look at the three-star missions. I think the mission to collect clothes from the garment factory in City 3258 is good. It's on the outskirts of the city center."
As she spoke, Xu Qian handed her notebook to Mei Yuebai.
Mei Yuebai exchanged her notebook with Xu Qian.
She looked down and flipped through the notebook. "The two-star missions are all mediocre. Do you have any missions you want to do?"
Mei Yuebai glanced at the notebook. "I'll go with your choice for the three-star missions. For the two-star ones, I think cleaning up supermarkets is decent. There are supplies to collect, and it's also a mission."
Xu Qian shook her head. "The two-star missions are all near the base. There are almost no supplies left in the supermarkets."
Gu Qing hurried over.
"Sister Qian, I'm done."
She took it and quickly scanned it. A glint of light flashed in her eyes. She was heading to the Jinmao Resort to rescue a couple.
Xu Qian had seen this mission in her past life. It was the one Jiang Shuo had taken. This place was about 5 kilometers from the base, a hot spring resort frequented by the wealthy and influential.
She remembered that this couple were major owners of a chain of supermarkets. After Jiang Shuo rescued them, that supermarket magnate rewarded him with a truckload of food.
Of course, food wasn't the main point. The crucial part was the couple's status at the base after their arrival.
They became one of the later partners of the base.
Xu Qian curled her lips into a cold smile.
"Taking Jiang Shuo's path, leaving him with no path to tread."
In the end, the three of them discussed and decided to undertake the Jinmao Resort mission and the garment factory collection mission.
Although Xu Qian was fast, the three of them still had to wait for a full half hour to reach the front of the queue.
An elderly man at the service window saw a little girl and smiled. "Hello, little sister. Do you have a team?"
"Hello, Grandpa. We are the Yaori Team. We've chosen 3258 and 2378."
"Alright, alright, coming right up." The old man lowered his head, picked up an electronic pen, and wrote on the electronic tablet stroke by stroke. "Yaori Team, that's a nice name."
Brilliant sunshine illuminated the dark world.
The service windows were all staffed by elderly people. Most of them didn't understand pinyin, so the base provided these electronic tablets for them. Whatever was written on it would be displayed as text. If a team's name was too complicated, they would write it for them.
"3278... 2358..."
Xu Qian calmly reminded him, "Grandpa, it's 3258 and 2378."
The elderly people at the base were generally older, so it was crucial to listen carefully when assigning missions. Once a mission was confirmed, it could not be changed. You had to do it even if you didn't want to.
"Oh dear, my old brain is foggy. 3258 and 2378."
After confirmation, a printer next to them produced two A4 papers. The old man handed the papers to Xu Qian.
"There you go. Be careful on your mission. You can bring the completed mission back to me."
Xu Qian thanked him and left immediately.
The old man watched Xu Qian's retreating back, stroking his beardless chin. This child was so beautiful at such a young age; she would be even more stunning when she grew up.
"Old man, hurry up! Don't dawdle."
"Coming."
