Chapter 628 - 307: So We Already Knew Each Other_2

"I think so too... However, what I believe you should do first is not think about completing the task, but rather... explain the current situation to your companions." Yu Feng said flatly, "They seem oblivious to the truth..."

"They’re not my companions, just a few strangers I’ve met once or twice." Su Jiameng paused and said, "The situation was dire at the time, so I just did a good deed by pulling them into my team... they naturally don’t know the truth."

"No explanation?" Knowing Su Jiameng’s three tasks, Yu Feng felt a subtle sympathy for this merchant from a different plane, thinking this person quite unlucky, "You all come from the same plane after all... Everything here offers them no sense of belonging; it would be better if they could return."

The time and energy needed to complete the tasks were too much for Su Jiameng to handle alone. If she had some companions to assist, it would likely ease a lot of the burden. Being strangers in a foreign land, coming together to work towards returning home was indeed a destiny.

"This... I need to think about it..." Su Jiameng chose to dodge the issue. Having more assistants and partners would naturally increase the success rate of the task, but it also meant selectively exposing her secrets to them...

"Alright, then continue considering." Yu Feng made a gesture to get up, and Su Jiameng hurriedly stopped him. He paused skeptically and asked, "Miss, don’t you have anything else to say?"

Su Jiameng froze in place, hesitating for a long time without speaking her mind. "No, sir... nothing... You carry on with your business. I’ll tell you when I remember what it is..."

In fact, she wanted to ask if he would join her team. After all, it’s impossible for the three tasks to be executed in the same place, and she already had a cross-plane mission. Taking on a second one was out of the question. So how could she quickly reach the destination then?

If this man were willing to join, the problem would be solved. As long as he applied for a task, he could take her along, greatly reducing the time wasted on travel. But after all, they were strangers, and she didn’t know his status or stance. To rashly offer this request might be seen as a provocation.

"Hmm, I’ll be waiting. In the meantime, let’s add each other as merchant friends to make communication easier." Su Jiameng was the first merchant Yu Feng had encountered in reality. Although she was a bit foggy and unlucky, it still bore some special significance.

However, neither anticipated that after exchanging merchant IDs, both froze. Su Jiameng’s merchant ID was CYF2012141150, whereas Yu Feng’s ID was XXX2011161140... they were already in each other’s friend lists...

"Arms Dealer... sir?" Su Jiameng was completely stunned, accidentally blurting out the nickname she had given him. Upon hearing the words "arms dealer," Yu Feng’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch twice... How could there be such a coincidental thing in this world...

"Arms dealer? Didn’t expect that in Miss Number’s eyes, this is my identity?" Given Su Jiameng’s identity, a half-familiar face, Yu Feng said wryly, "I’m curious, what gave you that impression? Should I be grateful that at least you didn’t mistake my gender?"

Su Jiameng found this quite peculiar; it was akin to meeting a friend she hit it off with online in reality, and the person’s demeanor was nothing like what she had imagined. Where was the taciturn, aloof and wealthy arms dealer she envisioned?

The man was practically a hidden chatterbox, and seemed gloomy overall. As for being wealthy... that remained unseen.

"What you’re trading... doesn’t seem like it could be acquired through official channels..." Su Jiameng was not feeling guilty.

Whether it was the training equipment, top-notch mechas, or various nutrient liquids... oh, even baby nutrient liquid... It was really hard not to think in that direction. Arms dealer... did fit her initial guess.

Yu Feng remained silent for a while, and truth be told, Su Jiameng’s guess wasn’t far off, just a bit lacking...

Over the years, they’ve not interacted much, each transaction clean and brief, with little to no chit-chat. Given their prior contact via the Plane Trading Platform, there was less reason for caution now.

"I’m Su Jiameng, formerly an Alliance Warrior with a rank... considered a Lieutenant General." It was her first time introducing herself so freely; perhaps it was due to the reduced constraints, sharing a similar secret with this person?

Yu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered an "Oh" before ironically adding, "Well, what a coincidence, rank-wise, I could be your superior. I’m Yu Feng, the Corps Commander of the Human Alliance’s Special Operations Ninth and Tenth Corps, rank Admiral..."

Su Jiameng: "..." _(:з)∠)_, meeting someone with a rank higher than hers suddenly felt quite pressuring.

"Of course, if I could have a subordinate with a Level Eight or higher telekinesis ability, I’d probably laugh even in my dreams." Yu Feng rarely made a cold joke, leaving Su Jiameng feeling as if she’d been blown by the northwest wind.

"It’s an honor..." Indeed, rank dominates, and though Yu Feng isn’t her superior... it still made her slightly nervous.

"I will ensure your injuries are treated in the shortest time possible, so rest well." Yu Feng got up, opened the electronic door, stopped, then turned back saying, "If there’s any problem, you can contact me directly... You know how." (To be continued.
