Lin Xun kept trying to contact Lu Caiyi, but her phone never connected.

With no other choice, he could only use Shangguan Yu, who was also a roving enforcer, to obtain information from within Kunlun.

Fortunately, even though roving enforcer was his cover identity on the surface, his data file was also on record in Kunlun. Strictly speaking, he was indeed internal Kunlun personnel.

Shangguan Yu telling him about the movements of the other roving enforcers did not really count as leaking secrets.

Currently, Little White, Lu Caiyi, had been dispatched on an assignment to the distant West Sea Province, which was why her phone could not be reached.

In the northwestern region, the clashes between the New World and the official side were not so intense, so Lu Caiyi’s trip to West Sea Province should not be too dangerous.

As for when Little White could finish her assignment and return to Yun Capital City, Shangguan Yu was not clear.

Lin Xun could only send several text messages and also leave a message in the Book of Letters, so that Little White would reply to him the first moment she saw the information.

After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. He simply searched the Book of Trade for some forging Materials, then used the Mask Combat Armor Forging Blueprints dropped from killing the mask master to forge another piece of equipment to send to Lu Caiyi.

Just from the Firefly chapter alone, his pure Spirit Essence income had exceeded five million. After selling off the useless equipment through official channels, his total earnings were nearly ten million.

As long as he gathered some high-end Materials via the Book of Trade, he could save on labor costs and forge all kinds of Mask Combat Armor.

The blueprints included many armor types. There was the Nightingale-type armor suited for assassins, the Hero-type armor suited for warriors, the Brave-type for berserkers, the Featherflight-type for long-range Shells, and many other types.

However, there were no mage-like professions in the Firefly world, so there were no mage-type models among the Mask Combat Armor types.

The mask master’s craftsmanship was much faster than the Imperial Swordsmith’s. Originally, forging a Legendary+ grade piece of equipment required almost a day and a half. Now, with the mask master working with six hands at once, the work was finished in only six to seven hours.

However, this time the Legendary-grade mask equipment trait generated by forging was not very good.

He immediately used the mask master’s tool special effect – Reforge in the Furnace.

[Tool Special Effect: Reforge in the Furnace. When forging with this tool, if the generated equipment trait does not satisfy you, you can replace the equipment trait once for free with no loss. (This effect can only take effect within one hour after the equipment is completed.)]

After another three hours, he successfully changed the equipment trait into a satisfying state.

Lin Xun immediately opened the Book of Letters and sent the Mask Combat Armor to Lu Caiyi.

With this equipment’s protection, he believed that with Little White’s strength, there was no way anything unexpected could happen.

—

The moon was high and the stars sparse. Out in the open wilderness under the night sky, the cold wind howled ceaselessly.

Lu Caiyi stamped hard on the ground and her lithe, panther-like female warrior body suddenly lunged forward.

With a sharp shout, she twisted her waist and swung her arm. The heavy warhammer covered in spikes tore through the air and instantly smashed the last remaining enemy apart, blood blooming like flowers.

“Amazing!”

“As expected of a roving enforcer, she’s really strong!”

“Good thing we had Lu Caiyi on this operation, or several of our colleagues might already be dead.”

Seven or eight enemy corpses lay scattered across the ground, all broken and twisted, as if they had been run over by a speeding heavy truck.

Not far away, several members of the Armed Division, all bearing non-trivial injuries, gave her a thumbs-up.

Propping herself up on the warhammer, Lu Caiyi panted lightly. The battle just now had not been as easy as it looked.

She had also taken considerable injuries in the fight. If the enemies had been any stronger, someone might really have died today.

Beside her, Thunder Tribulation squad captain Hu Liang made no attempt to hide the fondness in his eyes. Seeing Lu Caiyi’s face covered in blood, he hurriedly took water and tissues from a team member and brought them over.

Recently, the New World had been making frequent moves. Heavenly Punishment and Thunder Tribulation squads across the country were constantly being deployed, without the slightest time to catch their breath.

Calling for support had been an act of desperation. Captain Hu Liang of Thunder Tribulation had not wanted to do it, but he could not just stand by and watch his squad members be forced to fight enemies they clearly could not handle.

After receiving the organization’s affirmative reply, Hu Liang finally breathed a little easier.

He had originally thought the organization would dispatch an entire higher-level Heavenly Punishment unit for support, but he had not expected that they would send only one person.

A Kunlun roving enforcer.

Hu Liang had long heard of the famous Kunlun, the apex combat organization under the Council’s command.

Not a single one of those selected into Kunlun was anything less than a prodigiously talented, overwhelmingly powerful elite Apostle.

He did not underestimate the roving enforcer who came to support them just because she was a young, pretty girl.

The rumors about Kunlun were simply impossible to take lightly. People said it was full of ruthless monsters, all super-elite fighters and the kind of human-shaped weapons who did not care about their own lives.

He had heard that Kunlun’s casualty rate and enemy kill rate were the highest among all combat organizations, leaving Heavenly Punishment far behind.

Rumors, it turned out, were not baseless.

In just half a month after arriving here, this roving enforcer named Lu Caiyi had already killed several troublesome enemies who had left Hu Liang at his wits’ end.

It had only taken this mere half month for Captain Lu’s gentle personality and formidable strength to completely win him over.

Hu Liang knew that after the mission ended, the roving enforcer would return to Yun Capital City. If he wanted to win Lu Caiyi’s favor, he had to act quickly.

Although Lu Caiyi was extremely strong, she had a very soft temperament and spoke softly to everyone.

With a burning gaze, Hu Liang handed her the water and towel. He knew that such a soft, sweet girl would most likely not reject his goodwill.

But after quietly thanking him, Lu Caiyi firmly shook her head.

Of course she could see what Hu Liang meant. But the reason she was striving so hard to grow stronger, the reason she had joined Kunlun and become a roving enforcer and a companion of blood and slaughter, was to catch up to that person’s footsteps.

She wiped the splattered blood from her face with her hand and dispelled the Shell manifestation. The frail girl in white returned to everyone’s sight.

Hu Liang’s smile turned a little awkward. He pretended nothing had happened as he called the Logistics Division to clean up the battlefield, then led the squad members and Lu Caiyi back to the Armed Division by car.

He was certainly not going to give up so easily. Her refusal only made him more interested.

According to the original plan, after helping the Thunder Tribulation squad complete this mission, the roving enforcer would immediately return to Yun Capital City to await the next dispatch.

It only took Hu Liang a little thought to come up with a way to keep Lu Caiyi.

According to reliable Intel Division information, the New World still had several small hidden strongholds within the jurisdiction of this city. Although the enemy was not that powerful and the Armed Division had enough power to handle them, If he requested that Lu Caiyi stay to help deal with them, she would definitely not refuse.

Under the Apostles of the Logistics Division’s treatment after the battle, the Thunder Tribulation squad and the Armed Division members quickly recovered from their injuries.

Seizing the moment during the post-battle debriefing meeting, Hu Liang publicly announced the Intel Division’s new information. He claimed that several more concealed New World strongholds had been discovered and that the enemies were relatively strong, beyond what they could handle alone. They would need the help of roving enforcer Lu.

Under everyone’s gaze, the soft-hearted Lu Caiyi would certainly not refuse.

Hu Liang looked toward the weary-looking roving enforcer Lu sitting at the conference table.

Lu Caiyi was not listening to his speech. She was staring blankly at her phone screen, her eyes glistening with tears.

Hu Liang had never seen that kind of expression on her face before.

“Roving enforcer, Roving Enforcer Lu.”

He called out twice before Lu Caiyi snapped back to herself. She murmured an apology, then clutched her phone and hurriedly ran out of the conference room.

Hu Liang was utterly confused. Not long after, Lu Caiyi returned to the meeting room.

A bright, sunny smile lit up her face, as if all her exhaustion had vanished. She said to Hu Liang, “I’m very sorry, Captain Hu. I may not be able to participate in the battles to come.”

“Please don’t worry. I will apply to the organization and have another roving enforcer dispatched to help you deal with the enemies.”

She said to everyone, “Thank you all very much for looking after me during this time. I’m really sorry I won’t have time to eat a farewell dinner with everyone.”

“You’re leaving? Where are you going?” Hu Liang asked in a daze.

Waving farewell to him and the others, her fawn-like figure jogged out of the conference room.

She left behind only a single sentence.

“To find… what I’ve always wanted!”
