In a small town in central China, Ren and his sister, who are both members of the elite mercenary corps, renew their information on their mercenary cards. Ren asks if they are going to take any tasks to make money, and they reply that they are. Ren explains that he is going to renew his sister's information on the card, and she is also going to do the same. Ren tells them that three years ago, the moon-mark mercenary corps and the nepheum mercenary corps teamed up to bring back some magical crystals, and the level of the two groups went up to the elite level. Ren thanks them for their help, and says that it is his honor to see them in this branch. Ren says that he will help Ren with the information in the backstage, and he tells Ren that he has heard that the two of them are planning to go to the red-hot city of Andis. The chamber of commerce has agreed to pay each of them 1,000 gold coins, and will take care of their food, lodging, and other expenses.
