Ye Fan took the wallet and saw the documents inside, including the certification issued by the Adventurer's Guild and a new ID card.

The Adventurer Squad is called Rose Thorn, and their squad number is 1021, which means that the registered Adventurer Squads in Dawn City have already surpassed a thousand.

During this time, the population in Dawn City has skyrocketed, and Adventurer Squads have also surged. Reportedly, the total number of adventurers has exceeded thirty thousand.

Among them, the larger squads have over a hundred members, while the smallest and most basic unit consists of five people.

The name on the ID card has also changed; it is now Chen Bufan.

Seeing this name, Ye Fan immediately thought it was given by Shen Ruihui, as it carries a youthful exuberance.

But since it's just a temporary use, Ye Fan didn't mind.

Besides the documents, there's also a stack of Light Yuan inside, totaling a hundred thousand, each bill featuring an aircraft carrier on the front, evidence of large denomination notes that most people don't possess nowadays.

"Sir, this is just pocket money; there's a whole five million Light Yuan in the suitcase as well, all for your pocket money."

"Giving me so much pocket money?"

"That's right, Sir. It's impossible to operate outside without money. Five million, or even five billion, can be printed for you if needed, although it might disrupt the market's monetary structure. Currently, five million Light Yuan is already substantial; reports from banks indicate that the wealthiest people in the city, like Gao Dongliang, Qin Yumo, don't have as much liquidity as you do."

Ye Fan nodded; indeed, the purchasing power of Light Yuan is very strong. These five million Light Yuan are worth more than fifty million of past currency in terms of consumption, definitely a considerable amount now.

Even though it's money issued from his own bank, Ye Fan admitted that this sudden influx of wealth felt remarkably good.

Opening up the suitcase, it's packed neatly with one thousand-denomination notes.

Ye Fan then recalled the items Guo Zhun left in the mining vehicle, which included thirty million New Coins and two million Light Yuan, still sitting in his bedroom.

With a rough calculation, his assets had already exceeded one billion.

He placed the suitcase back into the trunk, discovering a radio set inside.

"What's with this radio?"

"This radio is exclusively for Adventurer Squad communications, connected to the car radio system, allowing two-way communication and access to internal channels. Advanced squads generally have one for mission updates and internal exchanges. Through this device, Sir, you can become acquainted with the adventurer's world."

"Oh! Such a thing exists? Who publishes the missions?"

"Missions are commissioned through our trade market, then announced to adventurers, taking ten percent commission. With the population increase, it's impractical to rely solely on inventory sales, necessitating diverse product sources to sustain the market."

Ye Fan nodded, eager to explore, approached the Humvee: "Let's go then. After being cooped up in the residency for eight days, I should get out and take a walk."

Chen Fei took the driver's seat, Udyr's large frame situated up front, while Zhuge Yunxue and Duanmu Xiaoyu sat to Ye Fan's left and right in the back.

Ye Fan occupied the middle seat, a position offering complete protection.

Even though he preferred driving or sitting in the passenger seat, he accepted his subordinates' well-meaning arrangements.

Zhang Kunlin, Shen Ruihui, and others bid farewell to Ye Fan: "Sir, feel free to enjoy yourself. In twenty days, all affairs in Dawn City will be streamlined for your southern departure."

Ye Fan waved off any troubling thoughts, determined to experience the post-apocalyptic world from an adventurer's perspective and appreciate the foundation he established.

Chen Fei started the vehicle, exiting from the northern gate of the core area.

Dawn City has numerous gates to the east and south, with the west facing the mountains lacking a gate, and the north gate, typically closed to outsiders.

This gate, initially constructed for the nearby mountain gold mines, remains closed as mining operations near completion.

Ye Fan departed through here, circled the mountainous area, left Dawn City's perimeter, and took the small road to the main road.

They planned to loop back on the main road and enter through the southern gate, aligning with an adventurer squad's identity.

In the car, Ye Fan emphasized that no one should address him as Sir but as Captain Chen while outside.

Everyone agreed, assuring not to slip up.

Having instructed them, Ye Fan relaxed, opened the sunroof, letting in the warm breeze, feeling the air fresh and liberating.

Their route led far from the city; by the time they hit the main road, they were over sixty kilometers from Dawn City.

Ye Fan pondered in the car: "Going back straight like this doesn't quite fit our adventurer identity. We should accept a mission before returning; that'll offer genuine insight into an adventurer's lifestyle."

Chen Fei immediately tuned into the adventurer channel on the Dawn City radio.

Voices quickly filled the airwaves, reminiscent of an old taxi dispatch channel.

"I'm at the south refinery in Huacheng. There's a full set of oil presses, but we're trapped inside the plant. There're over three hundred zombies outside, three Iron Armor and four agility types. Can anyone come to rescue us? I'll pay three thousand Light Yuan!"

"We're in the mountains on a mission to collect mutant wolf pelts but stumbled upon hibernating mutant snakes. These snakes are thicker than past pythons. We're retreating after losing a team member, it's unfortunate."

"We're the Star Night Wolf Pack Squad; these King Kong Zombies are really hard to find. Someone's posted a task to collect King Kong's crystal cores and skeletons, but we can't find any at the Coal City suburban area. There are tire tracks here; did someone lead it away? Whoever did, let us know so we can save time."

"This is headquarters; Star Night Wolf Pack Squad, you should withdraw. The King Kong Zombie task has already been completed by a newly formed squad known as Jiangnan Female Classmate."

"What? Someone completed it! Damn it, we've specially brought excavation machines for traps, spent money crafting steel nets, gathered plenty of bait, even brought high-powered explosives and gas bombs, came with over a hundred people all for this King Kong; been preparing for ten days, and someone completed it? Who is this Jiangnan Female Classmate? Never heard of them before. Could they be from Ice City Jiangnan District? Daring enough to snatch our Star Night Wolf Pack's task, unaware we're one of Dawn City's top twenty squads? I won't let this slide!"

The channel was abuzz with voices, everyone clueless about Jiangnan Female Classmate's origin.

Even Ye Fan listened in curiosity; a newly established adventurer squad capable of killing a King Kong Zombie is truly extraordinary.

The trouble the King Kong Zombie brought to Dawn City was unforgettable to Ye Fan; even now, with four Heroic Units by his side, tackling a King Kong Zombie without using traps wasn't easy.

If possible, he truly wanted to meet this Jiangnan Female Classmate.

Ye Fan instructed Chen Fei to keep searching for missions, and after a while, Chen Fei found a new one.

"Captain, here's a new task, anonymously posted by the Star Night Wolf Pack Squad just now."

"What are the requirements?"

"The task requires locating the Jiangnan Female Classmate Squad, offering a thousand Light Yuan for information. Additionally, the Star Night Wolf Pack's leader claims they intend to drive Jiangnan Female Classmate Squad out of Dawn City."
