Chapter 1513 Target Mission
Tong Ye was able to rise to his current position from a grassroots person. Even though he accidentally committed such a huge sin on the issue of special-effect medicines, he has been able to stay stable and his title of Grand Secretary with Purple Gold Ribbon has also been retained, proving that this person definitely has his own abilities.

His words did not contain any intense emotions, just like stating a very ordinary thing. But the effect was achieved.

It seems like nothing was said, but it also seems like everything was said, making it difficult to criticize.

"And this time, the battlefield is in the surface world, which is more unpredictable. I must remind you that the surface world and the inner world are two completely different concepts. In their territory, it is completely different from our own territory. Many seemingly careful plans may be implemented smoothly in the inner world, but when entering the surface world, there may be many twists and turns in their implementation. Therefore, what I want to say is that you should make your plans more careful, and when executing, be more meticulous, always keep a clear head, never underestimate the enemy, and don't underestimate the ability and wisdom of the surface humans."

You know what, these words sound extremely sincere and no one can find fault with them.

Even the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao kept nodding his head, obviously agreeing with what Tong Ye said.

"Remember this, these are my sincere words." Supreme Elder Yin Qiao said, "Don't underestimate the enemy, keep a clear head. The humans on the surface are much more cunning than we think."

In contrast, Grand Elder Yin Qiao admired Grand Secretary Tongye more. As for Grand Secretary Linghua, Grand Elder Yin Qiao felt that she was a bit of a pushover, and since she was a woman, he didn't like her.

So, the Grand Elder Yin Qiao said again: "Tong Ye, you will follow me and take charge of the Great Zhang Kingdom. In this operation, you must assist me with all your strength."

Tong Ye was a little surprised. He originally thought that he would at most be sent to another place to take charge. Unexpectedly, the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao actually named him to go to Da Zhang Kingdom together.

He really couldn't refuse at the moment, so he lowered his head and said, "Yes, I will follow the commander-in-chief's arrangements."

Grand Elder Yin Qiao glanced at Grand Scholar Linghua again and said, "Linghua, you can choose any assistant you need."

"As for the other targets, you guys can each choose one."

Supreme Elder Yin Qiao was talking to the bigwigs standing behind him, namely the Grand Secretaries with Golden Ribbons and Supreme Elder Yin Qiao's bodyguards.

Each and every one of these people is a big shot who can rule a region.

Soon, the remaining targets were assigned.

Then, the next step is the main event.

The dozens or hundreds of people sitting here will be divided into small groups and assigned tasks.

Grand Secretary Linghua's beautiful eyes were filled with a bit of coldness as he swept across the entire audience. "Everyone, you were chosen to appear here. Each of you is an elite in the Earth's Underworld, or even the elite among the elites. I must emphasize that here, forget your origins, forget your class, forget how big your backers are, and how deep your background is in the Earth's Underworld. Because, in this operation, you are all equal, and you are all part of the plan. The dangers you will face are also equal, and once you have made achievements, the rewards you will receive will also be fair."

"Remember, this fairness is not equality in the absolute sense. Completing a mission in Dazhang Country is definitely different from completing a mission in the Ninth Target."

"Here, I must remind you that the difficulty of tasks with different goals is definitely completely different, and the risks faced are definitely very different."

"Therefore, I encourage you to volunteer and challenge the difficulty, but I must also remind you to do it within your capabilities and not to aim too high."

The difficulty of the tasks is different, and the rewards are naturally different. This is actually a manifestation of fairness.

These words were not difficult to understand, and Grand Secretary Linghua waited for a moment to allow everyone to digest the amount of information she had said.

After a pause, Grand Secretary Linghua announced: "Okay, now we will start accepting active registrations and reporting your goals. After everyone's goals have been reported, we will make some adjustments based on the actual situation."

After Grand Secretary Linghua finished speaking, Lao Gang brought several service staff and began distributing paper and pens to the scene one by one, asking them to fill in their target tasks.

After Jiang Yue got the paper and pen, he didn't hesitate too much and directly wrote the three words "Dazhang Kingdom".

Since they listed Da Zhang Kingdom as their top target, and even the old man, Grand Elder Yin Qiao, was going to Da Zhang Kingdom to take charge, Jiang Yue certainly would not sit idly by.

What's more, the old acquaintance, the Grand Secretary Tongye, was also brought along by the Grand Elder Yinqiao.

This is great news.

There are some inside stories that they, the executive pawns, may not be qualified to know at all, but as the deputy commander-in-chief, Tongye University Scholar must know a lot.

As for the Grand Secretary Linghua who was in charge of the Eagle Country, Jiang Yue could not take care of him.

Moreover, in Jiang Yue's opinion, Linghua University Scholar is actually a relatively peaceful superior in the inner world. According to the hawks and doves in the surface world, Linghua University Scholar can actually be considered a dove.

If the two places really come to the point of mutual destruction in the future, the existence of people like Grand Secretary Linghua will definitely be the best candidate to avoid such a tragedy.

Therefore, Jiang Yue did not intend to kill all the Grand Scholars of Linghua. The same was true for the Grand Scholars of Tongye.

If we want to avoid the final tragedy, Grand Secretary Linghua and Grand Secretary Tongye may both be able to play a huge role.

Soon, the information collection was completed.

Grand Secretary Linghua registered these target tasks one by one. When he saw that Jiang Yue chose Dazhang Kingdom instead of Laoying Kingdom, he was somewhat surprised.

In the eyes of Grand Secretary Linghua, I spent so much time persuading you and recruiting you, which clearly shows that I value you and want to use you. Shouldn't you come with me and go to the Eagle Country?

How come there is no tacit understanding at all?

Grand Secretary Linghua's first thought was to adjust Jiang Yue's target mission to the Eagle Country, but she then thought of this guy's character and realized that he was definitely not the kind of pawn that could be manipulated by others.

If I adjust his goals and tasks without his consent, it might make things worse.

Therefore, Grand Secretary Linghua decided to ask Jiang Yue's opinion first, trying to persuade him to accept the adjustment, rather than forcibly using his privileges to change the target tasks.

Seeing that Grand Secretary Linghua actually found Jiang Yue alone, it attracted the attention of many people at the scene, and even suspicion and jealousy.

Who is this bastard? How can he be so arrogant? Grand Master Linghua is famous for being aloof, but he actually took the initiative to find him? Could this guy also be from the Yaocao tribe?

It doesn't look like much.

The inner world is huge, with many talented people and geniuses. Jiang Yue, a hydraulic engineer, is well-known in the Five Elements Academy and has a certain reputation in the entire inner world, but he is a low-key person and not many people really know him.

At least, few of the people present knew his background and identity. They all speculated on his connections and whether he had any strong backers.

Facing the questioning of Grand Secretary Linghua, Jiang Yue said calmly: "I heard you say how difficult the Great Zhang Kingdom is to deal with. The reward level for this mission must be the highest. Since you want to get promoted, it's only natural that you choose the most difficult mission."

Grand Secretary Linghua said unhappily, "I want to promote you, but you don't serve under me?"

Jiang Yue chuckled, "If I work under the protection of Master Linghua, wouldn't it seem like I'm a gigolo? I'm afraid no one will obey me in the future. Master, since you want me to make great achievements, you should let me go and give it my all. Besides, since I've chosen the Dazhang Kingdom, I must be confident."

Grand Secretary Linghua was completely speechless.

What a rebellious young man. From the sound of it, he doesn't want to challenge the mission under her protection. He is just like those young people who want to break away from their parents and prove themselves.

However, compared with those frivolous young people, this Bachelor of Hydraulic Engineering is less frivolous, and his confidence gives people a sense of being down-to-earth and not impetuous, and not just boasting.

"You really won't reconsider it?" Grand Secretary Linghua couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, if you really appreciate me, when I return from my mission, you can vigorously promote and cultivate me. I will naturally bear your mark, and the outside world will naturally recognize me as yours. When the time comes, Sir, you can speak for me and promote me, and the outside world will have nothing to say."

If he works with Grand Secretary Linghua, even if he accomplishes something, the outside world will only think that it was done by Grand Secretary Linghua. When he is promoted, the outside world will also say that he took shortcuts through the back door, thus weakening his contribution.

After careful consideration, Grand Scholar Linghua found that what the boy said made some sense.

He sighed and said, "Then you take care of yourself. I hope to hear good news from you soon. However, you have to be more discerning. Although this mission will not involve corruption, you still have to be polite at all times. Even if you have made great achievements, you have to be careful to prevent others from taking credit for your achievements. You should be more careful. If someone asks you to be a cannon fodder, a cover, or a pretext, you must fully understand the situation and not be kept in the dark like a fool, being sold out and helping to count the money."

These words were naturally spoken quietly to ensure that no one could hear them.

As for who she was talking about, Lady Linghua did not name anyone. But Jiang Yue was not stupid, and after a little thought, he knew that she was referring to Grand Elder Yin Qiao.

It seems that even among these giants, they are not completely close to each other. They also have their own worlds and struggles among themselves.

Even from a hostile perspective, the humans on the surface and the inner world are mortal enemies. Jiang Yue couldn't help but feel moved by this well-intentioned reminder from Grand Scholar Linghua.

It seems that Grand Secretary Linghua really thinks highly of him and wants to cultivate him. Otherwise, he would never have said such heartfelt words to this extent.

After all, the words had crossed the line and even violated a taboo. The superiors were required to be concise when speaking to the subordinates. Especially since these words were directed at the commander-in-chief, the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao, this was even more taboo.

But he still said it, and reminded me so bluntly. If it was an unreliable person, Linghua University Scholar would never say that. What if this guy was careless and didn't keep his mouth shut and told others about it? This would not only ruin the relationship, but also affect the overall situation.

"Don't worry, sir. I know what I'm doing."

"I hope so. Take care of yourself." Grand Secretary Linghua seemed a little angry and snorted coldly.

"Thank you for your kind reminder, sir. I will keep it in mind." This time, Jiang Yue simply called himself a subordinate, which was also a way to show goodwill to Grand Scholar Linghua.

No matter where I go, I will always be your Lord Linghua's subordinate from now on. Is that okay?
Seeing how smart he was, Grand Secretary Linghua realized that he was capable of handling things, and the displeasure on his face faded a lot.

"You do have a smart mind. I am optimistic about your actions this time."

Jiang Yue smiled, but thought to himself, "Don't be too optimistic. Things will definitely not go the way you think."

The Supreme Elder Yin Qiao also noticed this, and Grand Scholar Linghua did not say much and returned to the podium.

Grand Elder Yin Qiao said calmly, "Linghua, it seems that you really admire this little fellow from the Five Elements Academy. Why, are you trying to forcefully adjust his goals and tasks?"

Linghua said calmly: "He is now a member of Taiyi Academy. I just went over to give him some instructions. I didn't mean to change his goal."

Grand Elder Yin Qiao laughed, "That's good. In fact, I am also curious about how good this young man is that you, Grand Secretary Linghua, admire him so much and actively recruit him. Tongye, what do you think?"

Grand Secretary Tongye and Linghua are colleagues, both of them are Grand Secretary with Purple Gold Ribbon of Taiyi Academy. Logically, their basic positions should be the same.

When Supreme Elder Yin Qiao asked this, it was clear that he had the intention of sowing discord.

The Tongye Grand Scholar was very shrewd, but good at pretending to be confused: "In recent years, this hydraulic engineer has become famous in the Five Elements Academy. He must be quite capable. Otherwise, Brother Linghua wouldn't be so patient, right?"

This guy is very smooth and he focuses on not offending anyone.

After all, it was just a small episode. The three bosses did not make a fuss about it. They just laughed it off and began to make some on-site fine-tuning of the registration target tasks.

Naturally, we need to consider all aspects, including different abilities, personalities, and fame.

Jiang Yue's goals and tasks were not adjusted.

About two hours later, everything was finally finalized. There were nearly twenty people going to Dazhang Country alone, and more than fifteen people going to Eagle Country.

The other two key targets in the circle also have ten to twelve people each.

The remaining targets range from seven or eight people to three or five people.

Obviously, this is a decapitation mission, and quality is more important than quantity. Too many people will only alert the enemy and make things worse.

After the personnel have been assigned, no one is allowed to leave the manor.

From this moment on, they will lose their freedom and must obey orders. They must never act on their own and must not leave the team. Information must be kept strictly confidential.

Jiang Yue was mentally prepared for this, so before he came, he had actually discussed many countermeasures with the Star City team, including how to contact, how to leave messages, how to make plans, and there were many contingency plans.
