Chapter 236: Second Assessment

"Oh? What a strange thing."

After seeing what You Huan took out from the secret hall, Eve sighed expressionlessly.

He asked, "As the owner of the secret hall, Eve, don't you know what this is?"

Eve replied: "Although I own the Secret Museum, I cannot actively peek into the vast majority of the collections in the Secret Museum. They will only appear in front of lives that have a connection with them."

You Huan put away the thing that looked like a pupa.

But Yier and Xiaofu still stared at him curiously with their big eyes wide open.

And secretly through a method of communication with consciousness waves, he said to the king cobra wrapped around the main body:

"This thing looks delicious. Your master's taste is very similar to ours."

Insects are a staple food of sugar gliders.

Eve then provided You Huan with more specific information about the ruins.

This includes the specific location of the ruins.

When he saw the location, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The ruins are located in the territory of the Huiyue Empire, on a peninsula in the north, which is vast and sparsely populated and quite close to the North Pole.

This results in polar days in summer and polar nights in winter in some areas, creating quite unique scenery.

According to observations, the ruins also undergo special changes during the polar day and polar night.

Therefore, the operation was scheduled for June when polar day would occur, leaving a full two months of preparation time.

However, judging from the information, this relic is quite dangerous.

Coupled with Eve's unique secret hall ability, many extraordinary people in the Huiyue Empire would fanatically "pursue" her.

It really requires good preparation.

Putting the travel plan to the northern peninsula into the future schedule, You Huan discussed some preparations with the two and then said goodbye.

Shortly after leaving, the figure of the Tyrannosaurus Rex with a black background and golden patterns appeared.

In its claws was a wooden box containing the Lion's Heart Blood Diamond.

He once again went to find Baoyu's receptionist, the wolf beast Atu.

Artu was not sleeping in today. Instead, he was in his own wooden house, carefully reading a piece of information printed on a bone fragment.

When I looked up, I saw a dragon head appearing outside the wooden house.

"...What?!"

Walking out of the house, Artu took the wooden box handed to him by You Huan and expressed his sigh with gray smoke.

"Did you complete the task so quickly? Your speed is still as fast as ever..."

It did not open the wooden box to check, but walked again to the area where the oath bones were stored.

Another huge pressure descended, and the snake-shaped shadow appeared on the island again.

This time, You Huan carefully felt the pressure brought to him by the upper echelons of the Storm Organization.

A creature as powerful as it is will release a field when it moves, which is the instinctive oppression of higher-level life on lower-level life.

Judging from the feeling of pressure, the snake-like creature in front of him should be slightly weaker than Minister Yao.

As soon as the shadow appeared, his eyes immediately locked onto the wooden box in Atu's hand.

A cool breeze blew by.

The wooden box flew up out of thin air and opened, revealing a beautiful, shining blood diamond inside.

"The blood of the ancient blood-maned lion is genuine. Mission accomplished."

The task of obtaining the Lion's Heart Blood Diamond disappeared from the bone fragment carried by the Indominus Raptor.

"If the intelligence is correct, the human in charge of Songhai City also participated in the melee instigated by the human named Liang Fu a few days ago, right? She is a very powerful human. It is really great that you were able to get the blood diamond under her nose."

The gentle voice sounded directly in You Huan's mind.

"You are overrated…"

"Since you have completed the task I assigned to you perfectly, then congratulations, I will include you in our Baoyu's 'internal personnel assessment list'."

"It just so happens that the latest batch of assessment tasks have begun to be issued. You can directly join this batch of assessments. Once the assessment tasks are passed, you can become a real insider of Baoyu and enjoy better treatment."

"Isn't this mission considered an assessment?"

"That's not how it works. This mission is my personal assessment of you. Only if you get my approval will I apply for you to sign up for the Storm Assessment."

"Don't feel it's unfair. Most of the new recruits in Baoyu go through the same process—"

"Unless you honestly complete at least a hundred ordinary tasks flawlessly on the periphery, or achieve something truly earth-shattering."

"Only then could he be noticed by Baoyu and accepted into the organization without any recommendation from the upper echelons."

You Huan understood that the most common way to get into the real inner circle of Baoyu was to join the faction of a senior official of Baoyu.

Otherwise, you have to rely on your luck, energy and strength and work hard on the periphery.

But judging from the fact that Atu, as a receptionist, introduced the person in front of him to You Huan, if he was a peripheral member with high potential, he would have been introduced when he was a rookie.

Those who are not recommended are generally not talented enough.

This makes their chances of getting inside later even slimmer.

In fact, overall, this promotion process is relatively fair.

Regardless of whether one is gifted or has worked hard to achieve success, or if one's talent is not apparent at first, there is a great possibility that one will be able to enter the organization.

It's just that it's very different from the promotion process in human society. This may be related to the organizational characteristics of Baoyu or its non-human way of thinking.

Thinking of this, he replied to the snake-shaped shadow in front of him: "I am willing to accept the test."

"That's good. Your application for the assessment mission has been approved and the mission has been sent to you."

"So fast?" You Huan was surprised.

The snake-like shadow moved slightly, and the structure on its body, which was not sure whether it was fins or wings, fluttered, showing a bit of ethereal and fairy-like air.

It explained in a gentle tone: "Well, since I was responsible for issuing this batch of assessment tasks, of course they passed in seconds."

"Oh yes, your information seems to be relatively limited. It would be better if you could tell me more information... Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

Although he joined this person's faction inexplicably, You Huan had no reluctance and immediately said a set of excuses that he had prepared long ago.

One of the key points mentioned is his "name".

In fact, the non-human world does not attach much importance to names.

They often use multiple organs such as smell and vision to determine the identity of an individual, and use a unique sound to express the name instead of using a word.

However, You Huan still made up a fake name for Comrade Violent Velociraptor who was in the Storm Organization——

"Holding the netherworld".

Dark means dark, which is actually an elegant version of "Xiaohei".

After learning more information, the snake-like shadow hummed a few times, and it didn't sound like he cared whether what he said was true or false.

After all, the purpose of heavy rain is not to ask about origin or where it comes from.

Then, it also told him its code name: "My code name in the rainstorm is 'Wei Yu', you can call me that."

It said it casually, but You Huan still said politely: "Okay, Master Wei Yu."

"By the way, although the blood diamond mission was given to you personally, the reward will not be small. What do you want?"

Regardless of tone or content, Wei Yu seemed very gentle and easy to talk to.

It's like a newcomer who just joined the department meets a friendly senior.

It is far from the cool, domineering boss character in novels.

Of course, You Huan prefers dealing with people like this, as they feel more like people he would meet in daily life.

"I don't have any needs, just in terms of cultivation, I hope to learn more about the methods and techniques."

"Is that so? I cannot give you the technique without your permission, but I have some information on the underlying principles of cultivation, as well as my experience in compiling methods and techniques, so I'll give it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, You Huan's bones felt slightly warm, and a large amount of information had been packaged and sent over.

"Thanks..."

"This is the reward you deserve. Next, prepare well for the assessment task. You can take a look first. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Upon hearing this, the Indominus Raptor took out the bone fragment and used his mind to detect an assessment task inside.

[Assessment mission: Find out the recent movements of the Crimson Tribe in the southern part of the continent. The assessment will last for 30 days. Submitting important intelligence and sabotage actions that are beneficial to the rainstorm will receive extra points.]

"The Crimson Tribe? What is this?"
