Chapter 717: Chapter 711: Proposal
In the side room, Chen Hai frowned slightly and stood up.
“Our small team finally has a new team leader coming over?”
“I wonder, what’s the temperant of this new team leader who calls himself Wu ng?”
“If he’s anything like Fang Xuan, then our team’s days will probably start getting tough again!”
With a sigh, Chen Hai muttered to himself.
Ever since Fang Xuan had died, he was left alone in the separate courtyard where the team was stationed, where he could focus on his Cultivation every day. Actually, his days had been rather good.
Of course, what he considered good days definitely didn’t include the recent period of frequently being summoned for questioning.
However, those higher-ups in the Enemy-breaking Camp hadn’t linked him with Fang Xuan’s death at all. The summons and interrogations he was experiencing now were simply the result of being an unfortunate bystander.
As ti passed, the impact of Fang Xuan’s death would inevitably fade away until it disappeared completely.
By then, his life would return to peace, and he could once again focus on secluded ditation to enhance his strength.
Without a new team leader’s arrival, he simply wouldn’t be able to take on missions to earn rit, which didn’t really affect Chen Hai much.
After all, for other cultivators, earning rit to exchange for cultivation resources might be essential.
But he was different; rit, cultivation resources—all of those didn’t an much to him. What he truly needed was just ti to cultivate in peace.
Inside the mining area, Spiritual Energy was already incredibly abundant.
Within the Black Water Immortal Mansion, the hundreds of people in his lineage who practiced the Black Water True Technique were constantly feeding him strength, improving his cultivation efficiency.
This fed strength, though originating from his lineage and easily blending into his body, definitely required his active guidance to be assimilated.
If he allowed this strength to pour into him without care, a great part would dissipate due to lack of guidance, lost forever into the heavens and earth.
To maximize the use of this strength, Chen Hai needed to maintain a state of secluded ditation.
Because of these reasons, spending a lot of ti earning rit to exchange for cultivation resources was sowhat counterproductive.
“In this Enemy-breaking Camp, I’m just a nobody. Our team can’t always remain idle; it’s only natural for new mbers and a new team leader to co into the picture.”
“Having team mbers replenished at least shows that Fang Xuan’s death is mostly settled, which, for , is sowhat of a good thing.”
“As for what kind of person this new team leader, Wu ng, is, and what kind of rules he might set, let’s wait and see!”
“I, Chen, have always been kind to others. I hope this new team leader is sensible, and doesn’t force into a corner where I might accidentally take him down!”
After several thoughts ran through his mind, Chen Hai got up, opened the door of the side room, and shot toward the courtyard outside.
The new mbers of the team had mostly co to visit him before.
Chen Hai couldn’t say he was close with these people, but at least he was familiar with them.
They were much more proactive than him. Upon hearing Wu ng’s shouting, they were the first to arrive in the courtyard outside.
With the new team leader, Wu ng, present and knowing nothing about him, the assembled team mbers remained quite, after all, they were also worried that making noise would draw his displeasure.
Upon seeing Chen Hai, they simply cracked a faint smile and gave a slight nod of the head as a form of greeting.
Chen Hai nodded in response to everyone’s greetings. After scanning the vicinity, his gaze finally settled on Wu ng, the new team captain.
Despite having the word “ng” (fierce) in his na, this new captain was thin and lanky, with a sowhat sharp and gaunt face that had nothing to do with the description of being tall and powerful.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he tried to maintain an air of arrogance, but his eyes were shifty and kept darting around.
“So this is our new team captain…”
“This Wu ng seems to be very aware of the tis, and should be much easier to get along with compared to Fang Xuan!”
Though the saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ has been around for a long ti, seeing Wu ng’s deanor sohow reassured the previously anxious Chen Hai.
“Captain Wu, all ten team mbers have arrived!”
“May I ask why you have gathered us here, and do you have any instructions?”
The speaker was Li Kuishan, the one who had visited Chen Hai first.
Among the nine new team mbers, he had the highest realm and the strongest abilities. Three or four of the newcors looked up to him as their leader.
In the current situation, he naturally took the initiative to speak up. Otherwise, where would his prestige stand, and how would those who followed him view him?
“I know, you are called Li Kuishan!”
After leaving Hua Qing and completing the necessary procedures for taking over as team captain, Wu ng ca straight here.
He had already perused so information about the ten mbers of his team in advance and had a good grasp of their details.
Looking cheerfully at Li Kuishan in front of him, Wu ng paused briefly and continued, “Coming here is just a formality, to et all of you. There’s nothing else in particular.”
“Those who know are aware that I, Wu, am very easy to speak to. As your captain, I don’t have many demands on you.”
“You might already know that without rit, unless you hide in your rooms all day, it’s difficult to move even an inch within the camp.”
“Killing enemies and obtaining their Identity Tokens can be exchanged for rit. Mining Star Stones or other rare resources can also be converted into rit. Besides these, there are many other ways to acquire objects that can yield rit.”
“At the rit Hall, when you have ti, I suggest you take a look to see which tasks can earn you rit. I hope you can be well-inford.”
At this point, Wu ng paused his words montarily. He deliberately puffed out his chest, trying to look impressively confident.
He then resud, “I’ll tell you a harsh reality. As newcors who joined the Enemy-breaking Camp less than twenty years ago, you don’t qualify to undertake tasks from the rit Hall to earn rit.”
“To gain rit, you must rely on my hands as the captain.”
“However, I, Wu, am known for my boundless righteousness. As your captain, helping you with this small favor is certainly no problem.”
“Of course, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. In exchange for rit, I’ll take thirty percent as my fee.”
“To prevent so of you from being crafty and hiding in the camp without earning rit, each year, every one of you must bring a hundred rit in commission. Otherwise, you will face the consequences.”
“Additionally, I’ll give you so good news. I conduct my affairs without concern for the process, only the result. As long as you can earn rit, I won’t interfere with whatever you do.”
“What do you think of my proposition?”
In an effort to demonstrate his supre authority, Wu ng, who was initially all smiles, deliberately hardened his expression and let his face fall somber as he spoke these words.
