However, Lu Yuan doesn't need to worry too much.

These two people probably can't trust each other even when they're together.

They just needed a partner to use each other, or rather, Liu Wuqing was right, he was just bored out of his mind.

Crazy Liu, interesting!

Lu Yuan glanced at Gong Yuehan:

"Alright, let's get down to business now."

"I'll leave this to you. I'm going to hand in my assignment."

Gong Yuehan naturally understood what Lu Yuan meant.

It's simply a matter of dealing with these opportunistic people.

This can be considered a test for himself by Lu Yuan, and Gong Yuehan understands this very well!

Lu Yuan kept Zhao Qiang; often, he could only trust his own people.

Having completed the task submission alone and received 140 Soul Crystals, Lu Yuan prepared to check out other tasks.

Soon after, a task came up that really interested him.

So he accepted it without hesitation.

"Sister, the task you just edited and posted has already been accepted by someone."

In one of the rooms in the mission hall, two women were sitting inside.

The two women are twin sisters, the older sister Luo Qingcheng and the younger sister Luo Qingguo!

She has a nice name and is also very good-looking.

Just like their names, they are breathtakingly beautiful!

The two Luo sisters, whose beauty could topple cities and kingdoms, were the powerful figures in the western part of Tai'an.

Most importantly, Luo Qingcheng is one of the top three experts on the combat power ranking. As for why she was injured, outsiders do not know.

"Qingguo, do you know which team took on this mission?"

Luo Qingguo, the younger sister, shook her head:

"I don't know. He seems to be a newcomer named Wang Dahu, but he's probably from some small team."

"I estimate that the chances of completing the mission are slim, after all, we sent out so many people and none of them succeeded."

Luo Qingcheng shook her head and sighed:

"It's not that the people we sent out couldn't complete the mission; it's that someone doesn't want me to get the elixir."

"Here's what we'll do: you take a few men and wait for him on the way. If he's being followed, we'll eliminate him."

"As for the rest, that's up to fate!"

Lu Yuan was very happy, he never expected to receive such a good task.

Humming a song all the way back to the Maple Leaf team.

At this point, only six members remained in the entire Maple Leaf team.

Lu Yuan, Zhao Qiang, Gong Yuehan, Yu Huanshui, Wang Tianhu, and Cai Zhiying.

Lu Yuan frowned. He didn't want Cai Zhiying. After all, once betrayed, there would be countless more.

However, since he had already stayed, Lu Yuan couldn't say anything.

After all, we can't just refuse to give Gong Yuehan face!

This place and the team both belonged to others before; in the end, we are still outsiders.

Although everyone has now elected him as captain, he cannot be too autocratic.

"Brother Yuan, now that it's quiet here, shouldn't we start recruiting team members?"

"After all, we have a relatively small number of team members!"

Lu Yuan looked at Gong Yuehan, who seemed somewhat anxious.

Then I looked at the others:

"Is that what you all think?"

"I'm leaving this meeting, and this is the result you've reached?"

Zhao Qiang knows Lu Yuan's personality best.

Basically, when Lu Yuan said that, it meant he wasn't very satisfied.

So he was smart this time and kept quiet.

Then only Gong Yuehan can speak for her:

"Brother Yuan, I think it's actually necessary to recruit team members."

"After all, our team is too small and needs to be strengthened."

"As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and many people can make a big fire. However, we need to be careful in our recruitment this time, and we won't hire anyone with questionable character."

Lu Yuan looked at Gong Yuehan and realized that, in a sense, what she said was indeed correct.

The more people there are, the greater the power, and that is indeed true.

However, it depends on the situation. At the very least, for a team like theirs that is trying to win in the apocalypse, having more people doesn't necessarily help.

Strength and unity are the foundation.

"Yuehan, do you know who has a good character? Or can you tell just by looking at their appearance?"

"Do you believe that our combined combat skills and teamwork are stronger than all of us combined before?"

"It's true that there's strength in numbers, but the prerequisite is that everyone can unite."

"As long as we are united enough, one plus one often equals more than two. A small weight can weigh a thousand pounds, and a vast desert is nothing but a pile of loose sand!"

"The team currently has this many members. We'll bring in suitable players later, and if not, we'll keep the current roster!"

Lu Yuan gave a direct summary.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he took out all the soul crystals that Ye Shengnian had given him, as well as the rewards from the mission.

This means they're planning to distribute rewards based on merit.

The soul crystals obtained from this mission are 140, and the rent money that Ye Shengnian just refunded is 50 soul crystals.

"These fifty Soul Crystals will be used as team procurement funds and expenses."

"Of these 140 yuan, Zhao Qiang and Yu Huanshui will each receive 30 yuan."

At this moment, Yu Huanshui spoke up:

“Brother Yuan, I didn’t do much, otherwise you wouldn’t have to give us any.”

Lu Yuan shook his head:

"You can't say that. The team belongs to everyone. As long as you do your job well, you'll get a share."

"Besides, it was my arrangement for the two of you to stay behind this time, as it's part of the mission, so this is what you deserve."

"As for the remaining eighty yuan, Captain Gong and I will each take forty yuan. You have no objections, right?"

Why would anyone have any objections?

First is Cai Zhiying. She's already very satisfied to be able to stay on the team, and she doesn't dare to say much.

Then there's Wang Tianhu. He's honest and kind, and since he didn't participate this time, he won't have any objections.

That leaves Zhao Qiang, Yu Huanshui, and Gong Yuehan.

If Yu Huanshui and Wang Tianhu are Gong Yuehan's die-hard fans, then Gong Yuehan and Zhao Qiang are now Lu Yuan's die-hard fans.

It's fair to say that the six members of this team are now almost united.

Lu Yuan glanced at everyone:

"Good if you have no objections; reserve your opinion if you do."

"I'm the kind of person who likes to be decisive and straightforward. We can discuss this, but..."

At this point, Lu Yuan looked at everyone again.

"Once a decision is made, it must be carried out!"

At this moment, Wang Tianhu asked a question:

"What if it's wrong?"

Lu Yuan quite admired Wang Tianhu.

He speaks his mind without hiding anything, which suits his taste perfectly, almost just like Zhao Qiang.

The difference is that Zhao Qiang says whatever comes to mind, sometimes without even thinking before he speaks.

Therefore, Lu Yuan gave his explanation in response to Wang Tianhu's question.

"If it's wrong, we can discuss it or vote on it beforehand, but once a decision is made, it must be implemented unconditionally."

"I don't care about other teams, but for our team, once an order is given, it's an ironclad rule that cannot be changed."

"You can choose to quit or you can choose to execute, but regardless of right or wrong, we'll discuss it after the task is finished."

"No complaints, negativity, or other negative emotions are allowed during the mission."

"Of course, we can discuss things before making a decision, and even disagreements are fine, but only the captain can make the decision!"

End of chapter!
