Chapter 58 Who is the Captain?
"Captain? We haven't chosen a captain yet. How about we choose one now?"
Since the group doesn't know each other's backgrounds, choosing a team leader becomes quite complicated.
In order to conceal his own abilities, he even recommended others to be the team leader.
Xuan Jing spoke first: "Fellow Daoist Chen has the highest cultivation level and the strongest sect. I propose that Fellow Daoist Chen be appointed as the team leader. What do you all think?"
As soon as he said that, the newly arrived "disciple of the main sect" immediately waved his hands, shaking them vigorously. "I can't do it. What ability does a guy in a wheelchair have to be a captain? A captain has to have the demeanor of a general. When other captains encounter danger, they shout, 'You all retreat first, I'll cover the rear.' What can I shout as captain? 'Push me away!' Then I sit in the wheelchair in front, and let the people pushing me from behind use their bodies to block the attacks? That's not appropriate."
Having just arrived, he didn't know the others. On a whim, he said leisurely, "To put it more broadly, a general should love his soldiers like his own children. I think Fellow Daoist Cuihong is a good example. Thank you very much for helping me push my wheelchair. If we were on the battlefield, I believe you wouldn't abandon me. I vote for you."
Zhong Ming was full of questions. What kind of captain am I? According to the rules of the underworld, whoever is the boss pays the bills.
It's not fair that you two rich tycoons don't act like the boss and come to eat me, a poor and lonely "mirror grinder".
If this "hidden tycoon" isn't willing, then let's go with someone else.
“I think the most important thing for a captain is to command the brothers in battle. Fellow Daoist Xuanjing has a great advantage in this regard. His far-seeing talisman can help him observe the situation in the distance at any time. Senior Wang, whom I met in the mine, is a master who is good at using paper dolls. He must have exchanged his military merit points. If Fellow Daoist Xuanjing knows how to use paper doll talismans, he can definitely grasp the dynamics of the entire battlefield and command us in battle.”
Upon hearing this, Xuanjing thought, "Why has the ball been thrown to me again?"
When the captain holds the highest position, he/she must contribute the most effort. The more effort he/she contributes, the more of my trump cards are exposed.
Revealing one's trump card is an extremely dangerous act for cultivators.
Xuan Jing immediately said, "No, no, no, what Master Cuihong said is not the captain's doing. In terms of military positions, it should be the chief of staff's task. Coordinating battlefield information and formulating combat plans is not the captain's most important quality. I think it is the ability to make decisions. Being able to quickly identify the correct target and resolutely carry it out is what the captain should do. I think Master Cuihong is very suitable in this regard."
After listening to everyone, Yue Kaishan realized something was amiss.
Shouldn't you be the one recommending me, and then I'll recommend Brother Cuihong? You lack martial ethics.
He said somewhat sullenly, "Well, I think I'm absolutely fine on this point, but I think the most important thing for the captain is..."
"You're the one!" the two tycoons said in unison.
Zhong Ming was dumbfounded. "Why are you getting involved? Do you even have any money? We're both miners now, what are you pretending for?" He quickly spoke up to salvage the situation:
"Is that decisiveness? That's just stubbornness, Brother Yue. We've been through thick and thin together. With your way of doing things, I'm afraid I'd be heroically sacrificed before I even completed a few missions."
Zhong Ming lifted the bundle on his back, and there was still a hard bulge there.
"Here, this is the witness."
"Fellow Daoist Cuihong, what is this???"
Yue Kaishan (quickly answering): "This is the mining mole. He and Brother Cuihong became friends after a fight, and he insisted on recognizing him as his boss."
"Wait, what did you say?" Xuan Jing immediately grasped the key point.
Chen Dahai immediately followed up, "You mean this mining mole recognizes him as its boss?"
"Uh...yes, don't be shy..."
“That means he has experience as a leader,” Xuan Jing immediately interrupted Yue Kaishan. “His demeanor can subdue demon beasts, so he must be extraordinary. I’ll vote for him.”
“I’ll vote for him too,” Chen Dahai raised his hand.
These words were spoken so quickly that they slipped past Zhong Ming's ears in a flash. By the time he realized something was wrong, Yue Kaishan's hand had already slammed heavily on his shoulder.
"Brother Cuihong, I don't need to say anything more, I believe you."
It passed with three votes!
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys..." Zhong Ming suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he were being surrounded.
"My brother didn't even join the army, and the two of us already earned two hundred military merit points. What more needs to be said?"
The three of them stood neatly in front of Zhong Ming. As he took a step forward, the three of them took a step back.
Zhong Ming was on the verge of tears, his teeth clenched tightly.
My storage stone dentures~~~ My spirit stones~~~
Are we really going to just disappear while calling them "Captain" and treating them to meals, drinks, baths, and fun?
This brings us to the all-powerful storyteller. The storytellers in Qingxi Town tell legendary tales, and inevitably they train their own personal guards and loyal followers, raising them from childhood to adulthood and giving them whatever they want.
Back then, the soldiers were sometimes full and sometimes hungry, and they were incredibly envious when they heard that the general was feeding the soldiers plain porridge and meat soup every day.
At that time, all I could think was, I want to be a suicide soldier, and I want to drink plain porridge.
Now.....
I.....
Do you think it's possible to be a suicide squad member for the recruit instructors?
While Zhong Ming was lost in thought, the matchmaking process was basically over.
The middle-aged man finally revealed his trump card, assembling a highly capable squad of ranged fighters, consisting of the girl carrying the large bow, a swordsman, a woman who "had some knowledge of formations," and an experienced hunter.
This combination is both offensive and defensive. With experienced hunters and two cultivators skilled in hit-and-run tactics, they can usually hold out until the formation cultivator completes the formation. At that point, the formation cultivator becomes a fortified camp, capable of both offense and defense.
Yue Xingtian immediately saw through his thoughts. In the Yunzhou military system, veterans are rewarded for recommending new recruits, and the rewards vary depending on the recruit's performance. The third squad leader was aiming for the top reward.
"Are you about to break through?"
"Yes, I've stayed at the ninth level of Qi Refining long enough. It's time to see the glory of the Foundation Establishment stage."
If she ranks first among the new recruits, her reward will include materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.
Yue Xingtian gave a sinister smile.
"Don't speak too confidently, Lao Xu. How about we make a bet?"
The third captain, a middle-aged man named Xu You, extremely disliked being called by his real name.
"I told you not to shout like that, but it seems you're serious. Go ahead and say it."
"If I win, I can trade the materials with you for that folding fan. You won't need it anymore now that you've broken through, will you?"
"Hmph, dream on. What if you lose?"
"Then after you are promoted, I will fully support your position as the third captain for your... mistress... that Daoist partner."
Captain Xu, brimming with confidence, readily agreed.
You bunch of chickens and dogs, how can you compare to my elite squad of rangers?
What a joke.
Yue Xingtianxia ordered the team to assemble immediately, with all team leaders standing at the front of the line.
He generously stated that he would grant any team that successfully sniped the opposing squad one request.
He walked past all the team captains, and when he reached the very end, which was Zhong Ming's team, he whispered:
"If you win, I'll really arrange for you to meet my sister."
"Why don't we skip all these tedious procedures and just give me the Blood Secret Technique directly?"
"I'm bothering you..."
Yue Xingtian walked past Zhong Ming with an air of nonchalance, whistling and looking at the sky.
He quietly stepped on Zhong Ming's foot.
