Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

The old lama finished telling the stories he knew and said that he had nothing more to tell them, so the two of them politely said goodbye and left.

Zhang Haike walked in the courtyard. The aging walls were mottled in color, and the planted plants also had a sense of oldness. He looked at Chi Yu, who had not expressed anything from beginning to end, and sighed in his heart.

"I didn't expect that the stone sculpture had such a story." Zhang Haike asked him, "What do you think, Chi Yu?"

Chi Yu looked at Zhang Haike and did not answer.

He didn't think there was anything to discuss about this story.

The world's evaluation is born out of the three views that shape them. Some people think that this is bad, so it becomes wrong; some people think that it is good, so it becomes right.

But Chi Yu usually doesn't use common sense to judge the right or wrong of things. He only thinks about whether these things are beneficial to him. If not, then they are just useless hearsay.

And now, he got a name, and also saw clearly why Zhang Haike contacted him, so this matter could actually be over, and he no longer had any reason to stay here.

Chi Yu found a random reason to part with Zhang Haike. He returned to the room, packed up his belongings, and opened the system interface.

After the randomly changing countdown ended, some special changes occurred on his map. It was not the red color from the enemy attack, but a wonderful light gold color, which turned into a letter and quietly floated above a fixed area.

[Special Commission: Duel]

[Mission Description: This land has undergone a wonderful change because of your arrival. The creatures here do not seem to welcome you, but you know that they cannot refuse.]

Chi Yu was strolling in the deserted courtyard. He looked up at the clear sky. The glaciers on the horizon seemed very far away from him. There were only floating clouds accompanying them, blocking the sunlight.

The road buried by heavy snow in the middle of the night seemed to be a signal to refuse anyone entry, but the system's description was correct. As long as Chi Yu wanted, nothing could stop him.

So it's time to leave.

Chi Yu's fingertips brushed across the golden envelope, and the virtual data stream immediately and obediently transformed into an ongoing commission, displaying the information on the system panel.

[Core goal: Defeat the master of this place]

[Limited time: unlimited]

[Additional objectives: Defeat at least three elite enemies and save the lost traveler]

[Reward: Exploration experience, crystal fragments, rough red gold, ???]

[Current environmental pressure:? Please select your tactical preference]

Chi Yu's gaze stayed on the question mark for a moment, then quickly moved away.

As Chi Yu accepted more and more commissions, he had a better control over environmental pressure. He already knew clearly what degree of danger different levels corresponded to.

So even if the mission this time is not clear yet, as long as there are no teammates who hold him back, it will be the best reinforcement for him.

'Choose Tactical Tendency: Fighting Elite.'

The map of Moyu extended on the system interface, stretching from the white camp representing the Lama Temple all the way to the gray snow-capped mountains. Chi Yu tapped his toes and jumped over the high wall.

He walked through the snow on the mountain that never melts all year round, but left no footprints.

In this mysterious place where no one can set foot for the time being, the snow-capped mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and as far as the eye can see, there is nothing but silver flying everywhere.

Chi Yu walked forward in the snow. The cold did not affect his movements, but instead gently protected him.

He walked further and further into the snowy mountains.

New snow fell from the sky, drifting slowly down.

The dark corners of Chi Yu's clothes fluttered back and forth in the wind and snow, becoming the only spot of darkness floating between heaven and earth.

-

It was getting dark outside. Zhang Haike stood outside the door, reminding Chi Yu as usual that it was time to eat. But when he knocked on the door and waited for a moment, he did not get the response as usual.

"Chi Yu?"

The house was silent, as if no living beings were present any longer.

Zhang Haike tentatively pushed the door open and looked at the empty room. It was unknown what he was thinking about. After a while, he turned around and left.

Zhang Haixing was sitting in the cafeteria, eating tsampa with butter tea. She looked at Zhang Haike coming back alone and was surprised: "Didn't you say you were going to call Chi Yu? Where is he?"

"The person is missing."

"Disappeared? You mean he disappeared right under your nose?" Zhang Haixing raised an eyebrow. "Where else can he go in this situation?"

This is also the question he wants to know.

Zhang Haike shrugged at her and spread his hands.

On the way back, he asked people and everyone said that they had never seen Chi Yu. It was just as Zhang Haixing described, as if Chi Yu suddenly disappeared from the Lama temple.

There was nothing unusual in the morning.

I don’t know which link went wrong, which led Chi Yu to choose to leave here without any regrets.

Zhang Haike thought about it and sighed.

He looked out the window, even though he knew in his heart that Chi Yu had no obligation to report his itinerary to anyone here, and he himself had no right to care about it.

However, Zhang Haike couldn't help but feel an indescribable melancholy when he saw the other party disappearing as soon as they had a disagreement.

——So why does he always meet guys who like to act alone?
