Chapter 1771  Post Zero

Edson looked at the man called Tang Shaoyang once more. He was surprised to hear that the mission was led by this man.

ʼThe Reds? Tang Shaoyang?ʼ

He had been working together with the administrator as long as he had been stationed in this place. This was the first time he heard the team called The Reds and Tang Shaoyang.

The names of Michael and Atilla were on the list of the top twenty of the Chief Administrators. However, he did not remember the name of Tang Shaoyang on the list. For sure, the man was not an Executive Administrator or else he would be informed by the Hurakan Kingdom.

But there must be a reason for them to send him here, leading the mission on top of that. Clearing his thoughts, he once more looked at the man. The moment their gazes locked, the pieces started to connect. The man in front of him was someone with a dragon bloodline, but not just any ordinary dragon.

It was not a surprise for the administrator to have the dragon bloodline. The administrator had more resources compared to the others. Of course, they had their duty too, fighting the most dangerous group in the God Realm, The Void Cult.

”My name is Edson, and I am the commander in this frontier. May I know how Palmas dies?”

”I donʼt know. The Executive Administrator did not tell us the details.” Atilla shook her head.

”I see…” Edson nodded solemnly, ”Letʼs skip to the business then. Those filthy creatures have swarmed our defense continuously, and we need you guys to work immediately. I will assign you a post…”

Edson stopped as he noticed that his subordinate had something to say but hesitated, ”What is it? Speak!”

Captain Barome glanced at the three captains and then looked toward Tang Shaoyang, Atilla, and Michael.

”You can tell him.” Tang Shaoyang was the first one to respond even though both Atilla and Michael hoped for Barome not to say anything about their conflict.

Barome nodded and told Commander Edson everything about the two teams that did not get along. He told exactly what he heard and saw back in the city.

Tch!

Commander Edson clicked his tongue, ”Why do your superiors put you in the same mission if you two donʼt get along well?” He sounded annoyed that the supposed reinforcement could become a disaster. A fight between two administrator teams could bring a disaster to their defense.

”They did not know that a veteran team such as Chalice would act like this. I also donʼt know why they act like this. We have made a promise not to communicate and interfere with each other, but they donʼt adhere to the promise. Maybe you can have proper communication with him without him humiliating you, Commander Edson.”

Tang Shaoyang answered truthfully. Even though he understood they might be jealous of him, it did not make sense for them to act like this. As he said, they did not need to interact and complete the mission then they got the reward. That was it, there was no need to be hostile to each other.

”As the leader of the mission, shouldnʼt you diffuse the situation instead of escalating it?” Commander Edson questioned Tang Shaoyang.

 Tang Shaoyang locked gaze with the white-haired man, then he shook his head, ”Did I escalate the situation? Does that mean I should accept their insults and their threats? Should I trust my back to these people? Never.”

”Please make your decision, Commander Edson. Will you accept us to join you to defend the Void Gate or not? Or you can send us back, and I will be sent to another Void Gate without them. Honestly, that would be better for me.”

Tch!

Commander Edson clicked his tongue again. His rational thoughts told him to send them back. He would rather not have any administrators in his frontier than have administrators fighting in his frontier. However, his guts and instinct tell him to keep them in the frontier.

If he looked at the current situation, they needed every force needed to defend this area until the Hurakan Kingdom sent more reinforcements. He massaged the space between his eyes, ”Alright, I will put you in a different post.”

Then he looked up at the woman, ”Do you have any issue with the other two teams as well?”

”Please assign me the same post as The Reds team.” Atilla was already annoyed by Kalisto. She did not want to be assigned to the same post as Michaelʼs team. But of course, the main reason was that he wanted to see Tang Shaoyang fight.

”Alright. You can rest for now, and we will assign you to your post tomorrow. Barome will guide you to your lodgings.”

Commander Edson trusted his guts and decided to accept the problematic administrators.

Each team was assigned to a house, a three-story house. Even Tang Shaoyangʼs team which had twenty-one members including the Admin Helper only got one house. The house had six rooms. Even though the room was small, they could force up to four people.

They were technically given one day to adapt to the frontier. Maybe they would be given more time if not for the conflict between the team. It worked with Tang Shaoyangʼs intention, to fight the Void Creatures as soon as possible. But of course, he did not intend to spend his remaining day in the house.

Tang Shaoyang to the entertainment area. Avyn and Zara were screaming in his head, telling him not to step into the brothel. While he was curious, he kept it safe and avoided the brother. His first visit was to the bar where he met the mercenary. A lot of them, the bar was filled with the people so-called mercenaries.

This was the first day he was here, and a few people approached while he was sitting behind the counter. He kept his identity hidden as an administrator and pretended to be the mercenary who was trying his luck in this desolate place.

He expected them to be crude and come with a mentality to bully or make fun of the newcomer. To his surprise, they were decent, telling him their experiences fighting the Void Creature. They even told him the supposed secret for a newbie, the most dangerous post in this frontier, Post Zero.

Post Zero was a small post that was located closest to the Void Gate. The environment there was bleak as the area was exposed to Void Energy constantly. These mercenaries told him not to accept if he was to be assigned to this post zero. It was basically the first defense against the Void Creature.

From the bar, he was dragged to the gambling house. He spent his remaining day in the gambling house, losing ten million GC. He lost ten million in one night.

”You donʼt have the talent to gamble, Boss!” Castor shook his head as they headed out together.

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at Castor, ”You speak like you win something?”

Just like him, Castor also lost. He was being cocky because he lost less money, the exact number was seven million. He lost ten million and Castor lost seven million.

Castor was about to continue until he saw the screen. Ira was calling him through party communication. He furrowed his brows, ”I think we should return quickly before Ira gets mad, Boss. The last time she was mad at me, it didnʼt end well for me…”

”Thatʼs your problem.” Tang Shaoyang shrugged.

They returned to their house, and Ira was standing in front of the door with her hands on her waist. Her eyes grew colder and sharper when she spotted the two figures, walking toward her. She could not believe that these two men spent their time in the bar and gambling house even though they were about to fight the Void Creatures.

Of course, her gaze was directed mainly toward Castor. She had seen Tang Shaoyang fight the Void Creatures. There was no need for her to worry about her captain, but she never saw Castor fight one. She was not even sure if Castor could last long against the Void Creature, and yet the man was spending his night drinking and gambling instead of attempting to find a way to fight the Void Creature.

She very much wanted to rebuke Castor, but she could not muster her energy with this guy. Keeping her composure, she approached Tang Shaoyang, ”Captain Barome is inside to talk about our post.”

Tang Shaoyang nodded and followed Ira, ”Thank god Captain Barome is here…” He heard Castor muttering in a low voice, talking to himself as they entered the house. If Barome was here, he would have a round with Ira for sure, Barome saved him.

Captain Barome furrowed his brow when he smelled the beer from Tang Shaoyang. The young administrator was far from drunk, but that annoyed him. He felt like the administrator was underestimating the duty of guarding the Void Gate.

”I want my team to be assigned to Post Zero!”

His eyes widened in shock to hear the first thing that came from the young administrator.

”Do you know what you are talking about, right?”
