Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Early the next morning, Yun Ran, fully equipped, arrived early in the villa area of Elder Gong to wait.

Unexpectedly, Minister Duan was there too.

Yun Ran looked at him with some surprise: "Didn't you say you weren't going, staying at the rear?"

When they came, it was agreed that Elder Gong would personally go with her to the deep mountains to take a look.

Minister Duan was to stay at the rear to prevent anyone from sabotaging them and getting trapped in the deep mountains.

Minister Duan's eyes flickered slightly; of course, he couldn't tell Yun Ran that he really wanted to see Yun Ran's methods firsthand.

If such words were uttered by someone from the younger generation of Xuanmen people, it wouldn't be surprising, but for someone experienced like him to say it would be embarrassing.

Coughing lightly to mask his guilty conscience.

Minister Duan then said: "Don't worry, I've already arranged for people to guard the rear, and knowing it's Xu Wen and Zhu Qing in the mountains, an extra person means extra strength."

Yun Ran looked at Minister Duan suspiciously: "Is that so?"

"What else? It's not like I'm idle or want to monitor you. After all, it's the deep mountains. There's nothing fun about it!"

Minister Duan, stern-faced and raising his voice, was actually quite convincing, and Yun Ran really didn't doubt much.

Elder Gong quickly came out, dressed in the latest battle attire from the Special Administration Bureau, which was cold-resistant, waterproof, and fireproof.

He looked resolutely at Yun Ran and Minister Duan, obviously already aware of Minister Duan's decision to follow along without any surprise.

"Let's go!"

A group of more than ten people set out, and besides Yun Ran and Elder Gong, everyone else, including Minister Duan and Ginsengfruit, carried a large pack on their backs.

Minister Duan looked at Yun Ran traveling empty-handed, squeezing his young apprentice to the limit, his eyes full of reproach.

But ever since he learned that Yun Ran had a Ghost General by her side, his temper had improved a lot; at least he wouldn't criticize Yun Ran arbitrarily anymore.

As they walked out of the reception center's gate, Elder Gong, at the front, spotted six young people with a murderous aura waiting.

Minister Duan's face showed a hint of surprise, clearly not knowing these people either.

Elder Gong immediately understood that these people were probably arranged by Yun Ran.

He thought so; how could Yun Ran have no preparations at all and rely solely on the people they brought?

Minister Duan had some opinions but not many. He just turned his head and got on the vehicle, completely unconcerned about what relationship or dealings these people had with Yun Ran.

The four-men and two-women combination was quite eye-catching.

The leading young man stepped forward, respectfully addressing Yun Ran: "Lady Yun, everything you wanted is prepared, and we can set off now."

Yun Ran nodded lightly: "Alright, let's go!"

Yun Ran got into the vehicle with the group.

The young man noticed Ginsengfruit, such a tiny figure, also following them, with a bag even larger and taller than himself on his back. His eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

The convoy soon headed in the direction of the deep mountains.

"Lady Yun, these are the relevant materials for our mountain expedition task. Unfortunately, the mountain is too vast; we couldn't scan the entire massif, only a small portion.

Based on the information you previously provided, the data on this part of the mountain is ready, and the routes have been roughly planned..."

Yun Ran reviewed the materials in hand, satisfied with these people's efficiency since they prepared most of the materials in just one day.

While Yun Ran was reviewing the materials, the young man continued: "Currently, thick snow covers the area from halfway up the mountain, which might affect the drones we're carrying."

"No worries, I have magic artifacts to investigate the situation. You just need to complete the tasks I assign you."

The young man hadn't expected Yun Ran to be so agreeable.

Before coming, he had worried that the harsh weather on the mountain would affect the high-tech gadgets they brought, upsetting Yun Ran.

Ginsengfruit, on the other hand, focused on watching Thunderbolt Team install and calibrate those high-tech gadgets the entire time.

Having been in this small world with Yun Ran for so long, using Xuan Sect methods to deal with fools.

This had unconsciously made him overlook that this small world also had high-tech products.

Sensing Ginsengfruit's gaze, the young woman installing the equipment smiled at Ginsengfruit: "Interested?"

Ginsengfruit nodded after witnessing Yun Ran's 'traditional' Xuan Sect methods.

At this moment, he was indeed curious to see what this combination of Xuan Sect and high-tech gadgets was.

The young woman directly placed a modified superpower gun, weighing over twenty pounds, before Ginsengfruit.

This gun was modified using high-level talismans from the Xuan Sect, capable of fully utilizing Attack Talisman's power, usable even by non-Xuanmen individuals.

Though everyone on the vehicle was busy with their own tasks, out of the corner of their eyes, they curiously observed this tiny figure.

The people of Thunderbolt Team were well-traveled and had seen various geniuses, ghostly talents, and eccentrics.

For such a dangerous mission to have such a small individual included suggested he had extraordinary abilities.

Yet, they never dreamed Ginsengfruit would not only handle the superpower gun but do so with such ease.

The manner suggested it was as easy as lifting a toy gun.

After figuring out the gun's structure by feeling it, Ginsengfruit lost interest and returned it.

"So it's high-level talismans carved on it. The person who made this gun is quite skilled."

Everyone: ...

Wait, why does your tone sound so nonchalant, as if you've seen something more impressive?

However, even if shocked, they said nothing due to their principle of speaking less and doing more.

Ginsengfruit, oblivious to their surprise, communicated with Yun Ran using the system voice: [Host, these people are quite smart, carving talismans on the gun, allowing low-capability Xuanmen people to use high-level talismans.]

He didn't mention wishing Yun Ran could make such a gun so he could use Yun Ran's high-level talismans too.

Yun Ran also thought Ginsengfruit's suggestion was good; her talismans, especially high-level Attack Talismans, were not something ordinary people could use.

But these talismans, which possess powerful attacking capabilities, can't be easily distributed, as they might cause trouble if they fall into the wrong hands.

[Okay, I'll get the qualifications from Gu Yuan later and make a couple for you.]
