The others wore similar expressions, raising their wrists to check their messages.
However, the next moment...
The smile froze on the blond youth's face, and everyone else's expressions also came to a standstill.
The group seemed collectively paralyzed, standing motionless.
THUMP.
A soccer ball rolled in from afar, settling at their feet.
"Uncle, can you kick the ball back to us?" a timid child's voice asked.
But no one paid any attention.
An older child, attempting to bravely retrieve the ball, approached them. He was startled when the previously motionless blond youth suddenly started twitching and jumping as if he'd taken drugs.
"Holy shit! Holy shit, shit, shit..."
"What is this? Is my message wrong?!"
The blond youth looked at his companions with an incredulous expression, his eyes filled with utter shock and disbelief.
"Someone completed an A+-level mission?!"
"Solo?!"
"And... it's that Lu Yuan again?!"
