Ursa Minor carried out quite a number of operations recently, which boosted their friendship.
Of course, this was mainly between Mindy and the various cliques within the team.
There were roughly three smaller units in Ursa Minor.
Claire, Joseph and Skye were in one. They only knew Mindy, Nikki and Monica.
The little turtles and Tyrone only knew Mindy.
Carrie was still a mystery; she only knew Joseph and Mindy.
These cliques had never seen each other in real life, and had only exchanged greetings in the group; at most, they only knew whether the other party was male or female.
It couldn’t be said that they weren’t friends at all, but Luke was cautious.
Any intent to meet in real life was censored and never made it into the team channel.
Mindy, as a member of the Bat Squad, was the only exception.
She was already mature enough, and was used to the safety rules. She could unite the team members and kill when necessary.
It was precisely because she had the basic qualities of a leader that Luke had tacitly allowed her to create her Ursa Minor.
Family ties and trust weren’t enough; it would be easy to cause harm to both yourself and others in a critical moment.
So, although Claire was in Ursa Minor, Luke had never thought of letting her take the lead.
Mindy was almost sixteen, and she had never been stupid.
As long as she was willing to spend credit points, the bigshot would give her enough recommendation letters to guarantee entry into university; even an Ivy League university wouldn’t be a problem.
But there were too many established traditions there, and she would definitely have to restrain herself if she went.
Mindy, who was used to being free, naturally wouldn’t choose to go to places like that.
She didn’t rely on a degree to make a living, nor did she need to make connections there. Instead, she might not be able to hold back from taking down a bunch of badly behaved students.
So, a university in New York or New Jersey was fine.
Nikki and Monica were already in college, and Mindy trained often with Joseph, so she was too lazy to attend class at Dalton Junior High.
When she was free, she either trained or contacted her friends in Ursa Minor.
Skye, in particular, had just joined. Their personalities didn’t clash, and when they found out that they both knew Luke pretty well, they quickly got closer.
Joseph? He was a guy. Mindy didn’t need a male best friend.
…
That night, while Mindy was eating and chatting with Skye in a diner, Skye said that she was going on a trip.
Mindy had no objections.
Skye was their intelligence officer, but most intelligence could be sent online and didn’t impact anything.
However, Mindy was more interested in Skye’s reason for going on a trip. She couldn’t help but ask if it was a regular trip or if she was doing something like backpacking, whether it was in America or overseas, and whether she would be visiting cultural spots or nature.
Skye hesitated for a moment, but ultimately told the truth. “I was sent to an orphanage when I was young. Do you remember?”
Mindy blinked and nodded. She didn’t say anything and listened attentively as she adopted the air of a concerned big sister.
Skye, who had been in slightly low spirits, unexpectedly wanted to laugh at Mindy’s manner. “I’ve been looking for my parents through various information channels, but there are a lot of things that need to be verified on-site, so I want to sort out some of the things that aren’t clear or are suspicious. Who knows, I might be able to find clues about my parents.”
Mindy’s mind raced, and she suddenly said, “I can help you.”
Stumped, Skye hesitated. After all, this was her business, and she might be gone for a month or two. It didn’t seem right to take up so much of Mindy’s time.
Mindy, however, patted her chest. “I’m the boss. If I don’t help you, who will? Don’t underestimate me. I have a lot of resources. I can definitely help.”
By resources, she was naturally talking about credit points.
Recently, credit points had become more and more useful.
The biggest use of credit points at the very beginning had been to buy life-saving things like the Light of Life Dagger, Life 1, and equipment.
But not long after the Battle of New York, credit points could be used to buy various supplies and ID documents, as well as to launder dirty money. Apart from the cost of laundering the dirty money, which was based on the amount of money, most of everything else cost just a few dozen points.
Since last year, credit points could even be used to purchase various professional services.
Although it wasn’t to the point of being a one-stop service, preparations and the clean-up, which were the most time-consuming, could be resolved with credit points.
If Mindy really didn’t have enough points, she could take on commissions issued by her teammates or the bigshot.
However, this sort of ‘private, custom’ commission wasn’t cheap. The basic starting price was 200 credit points.
Unless necessary, nobody would dare extravagantly issue a commission like that.
Over the past two years, everybody understood that the genuinely big commissions were from Batman, where it wasn’t hard to get 1,000 credit points in one go.
But without extra commissions, a team member would already be considered diligent if they could earn 300 credit points in a year.
Thankfully, Mindy was thick-skinned and would always go to V through the back door.
The father and daughter bought a lot of gadgets not with credit points, but with money.
Besides, even if Mindy didn’t have credit points, she still had her father!
In comparison, Donnie had squandered the little turtles’ credit points unnecessarily, and would cry about being poor in the Bat Squad chat.
Ivan was another ‘impoverished denizen,’ whose two most common phrases in the chat were “Anyone selling credit points?” and “Anyone have a commission?”
Learning from the mistakes of these two tech fanatics, Mindy resolved not to let her father waste his credit points on inventing stuff.
She, on the other hand, had points and wasn’t flustered. She could now confidently pat her chest and act like a big boss.
In the end, Skye accepted Mindy’s good intentions.
However, they agreed that Mindy could leave whenever she wanted and didn’t have to follow Skye all the way.
Mindy agreed, but she chuckled inwardly. This was her first trip around America with her best friend. It should be fun!
Joseph? Sorry, boys could only step aside when it came to girl business. Besides, it wasn’t like his brother was away from home on another trip.
…
Of course Luke knew about Skye’s search for her family.
He encouraged and supported her decision to go investigate in person.
This was an obsession for Skye. Luke had no reason to stop her from finding her birth parents.
If Mindy went with her, it would be a regular private trip, which wasn’t for him to meddle in.
The only thing was that with the good friend about to go on a trip, would his little brother be hurt?
After Mindy left, Luke specially observed Joseph, only to discover that his brother was very normal.
He couldn’t help but nod in relief. As expected of my brother. He’s really broad-minded.
What Luke didn’t know was that Joseph was relieved. They were finally gone! Women were indeed the biggest waste of time. Joseph’s study progress had been affected recently, and had been slowed down by at least 3%.
Luke had all sorts of study materials, and Joseph really wanted to bury his head in them and not come out.
His parents, his siblings, and even Mindy and the other two women thought that he was too weak and needed more physical training.
Let him just bury himself in studying books and nothing else? No way. He wasn’t allowed to skimp on physical and combat training.
