"sure!"

Lu Yuan casually handed the skill book to Gong Yuehan, as if it were a very ordinary item.

Because they didn't know the value of this skill, they acted so casually.

Gong Yuehan took the skill book and couldn't take her eyes off it.

"Wrath of the Earth" is an area-of-effect attack skill for earth-attribute monsters, followed by a long list of skill descriptions.

Gong Yuehan bit her lip, her voice becoming softer.

"Mr. Lu, could you sell me this skill book?"

"My pet is a mutated Earth Demon Bear, this skill book is perfect for it, I really want it."

Lu Yuan nodded. Since they could use it, he decided to give it to them.

"Captain Gong, it's fate that we met. I don't need this skill book, so I'll give it to you."

Lu Yuan spoke casually, and he was telling the truth; he simply didn't know the value of this skill book.

However, he would soon regret it.

"Mr. Lu, you're not joking?"

Gong Yuehan asked a question with some uncertainty.

Do I look like I'm joking?

"By the way, how much would this skill book be worth on the market?"

Lu Yuan still asked casually, but sometimes it's better to pretend you don't know the truth than to know it.

What Gong Yuehan said next made him want to slap himself twice.

"This was originally a pet area-of-effect attack skill book, but given that the Soul Crystal has just started operating now..."

"A conservative estimate would be a thousand soul crystals. If you give it to a major power, the price would probably double."

"puff"

Lu Yuan spat out a mouthful of tea.

He felt so heartbroken and regretful. If Gong Yuehan hadn't been there, he would have slapped Zhao Qiang a few times.

The reason he slapped Zhao Qiang was because slapping himself would hurt.

You probably won't find another person who's so extravagant and devoted to their family.

He only had seven soul crystals on him, which he obtained after nearly dying, and he treasured them like precious gems.

As a result, something worth a thousand soul crystals was given away by him just because he said it casually?

This is something you simply couldn't do without twenty years of severe cerebral thrombosis.

Gong Yuehan was, after all, a shrewd and perceptive person, and she could easily see through Lu Yuan's thoughts.

He definitely overdid it by showing off.

“Mr. Lu, I have one hundred soul crystals here. I’ll give you a deposit first.”

"I'll give it to you when I have some money, is that alright?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the skill book, and his pride finally overcame his damned rationality. He gritted his teeth and gave up.

"Fine, I'll give it to you."

"Although I am not a gentleman, I will not break my word."

Lu Yuan looked away, afraid that his hands would disobey his commands and reach for the skill book.

"But...this..."

Gong Yuehan was also in a bit of a dilemma.

She couldn't bear to return the skill book to Lu Yuan, but she didn't have that much money to pay him.

"Don't say 'but'. If you don't put it away now, I might lose control of my desires and have to take it back."

"At that time, you..."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuehan quickly put away the skill book. Mainly because this skill book was too precious, so precious that she, Gong Yuehan, could be shameless for once.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu. I owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay it in the future."

Lu Yuan waved his hand; he really wasn't doing it out of gratitude.

"No need for that. We'll just help each other out from now on."

At this point, the conversation was basically over, and Lu Yuan prepared to leave.

"Um, Mr. Lu, you don't have a team yet, do you?"

"How about you join our Maple Leaf team?"

Lu Yuan gave Gong Yuehan a strange look and made a teasing remark.

What are you thinking about?

"You've already taken my skill book, and now you want my person too?"

In an instant, Gong Yuehan's face turned bright red!

"Don't mind me, I was just joking!"

Gong Yuehan naturally knew that Lu Yuan was joking, and quickly shook her head.

"It's alright! I understand. So, what does Mr. Lu mean?"

Gong Yuehan looked at Lu Yuan with expectant eyes.

Lu Yuan stroked his chin. He did have the idea of ​​joining a team, but as for the Maple Leaf team...

"What benefits would we get if the two of us joined the Maple Leaf team?"

"What else do you need me to do?"

"Captain Gong, please don't mind me. I'm a straightforward person, so it's better to be cautious first and then be polite later!"

Gong Yuehan was actually a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I like this kind of personality too."

"Actually, our team is quite ordinary, or rather, our strength is relatively low."

"So I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but I really sincerely want to invite you..."

Lu Yuan immediately took over the conversation.

"You're honest, but that's not what I want to hear."

"If you give me a reason that can convince me, maybe I'll consider agreeing."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stared at Gong Yuehan without blinking.

Gong Yuehan blushed; she had never been seen so closely by a man before.

"Well, Mr. Lu, I really don't have any reasons that can convince you."

"However, I am sincerely inviting you."

"If you're willing to come, I'll give you my captain's position and be your deputy."

Lu Yuan nodded; he had indeed seen Gong Yuehan's sincerity.

However, that's not the key point.

The key is that he needs a team, like yesterday.

If Scarface Liu and the others were his teammates, Lu Yuan wouldn't have been in such a sorry state when dealing with the Devouring Python.

If Scarface Liu and his men hadn't arrived by chance, he and Zhao Qiang would have certainly died yesterday.

"Okay, I agree! But I have a few conditions."

"If you agree to my request, I'll join your team."

Hearing Lu Yuan say this, Gong Yuehan was overjoyed.

"Really? Tell me your conditions quickly!"

Gong Yuehan was getting a little anxious.

"First of all, I don't want any captain."

Even if I took it, the team members would be dissatisfied.

“Such a team is fine under normal circumstances, but once it encounters danger, it will be a disaster.”

"The saying goes that a train runs fast because of its locomotive, and a team's first priority is unity, and only then comes its combat effectiveness."

"Only by uniting as one can we maximize our combat effectiveness."

"The same applies to the team. Even if each member is a good fighter, if they are not united, they will be a disorganized mess."

Gong Yuehan nodded; she agreed with that statement.

"How about I give you a vice-captain position?"

Lu Yuan shook his head again.

"Vice Captain?"

"I think the vice-captain was that idiot from earlier, right?"

Gong Yuehan wanted to laugh as soon as she heard Lu Yuan say the word "idiot".

He would be very offended if someone else said that, but it was different when Lu Yuan said it.

This person seems to speak as if he does whatever he wants.

"Ye Shengnian was rich before the apocalypse, which is why he developed his current personality."

"I think maybe he'll change over time!"
