Chapter 8 Complete the team mission

However, considering Wen Le was still a child and his fighting ability was too low, and fearing that he might get hurt during the hunt, Ovi assigned five experts to Wen Le's team. Three of them were Level 1 psychics, two with wood attributes and one with earth attributes. The other two, while not psychics, were experienced and expert hunters. The fact that Ovi was willing to send so many people at once just to support Wen Le showed how much he valued him.

In the slums, having such a group was considered a big deal, and Wen Le was very happy. At least his safety was guaranteed. As for whether these people would dislike him, that was unknown.

Those five people are the captains here, and they are in charge of at least thirty or forty people. It can be seen that they are quite good in both strength and skills here.

Wen Le expressed his gratitude to Aowei for such an arrangement. Although the other party did so for his future safety, if he was really useless, he wouldn't let others go to so much trouble to protect him, right?

But just because Wen Le was grateful didn't mean the people being arranged to play with him would accept it. For example, the wood-type psychic was a little repulsed by Ovi's arrangement. He was a psychic after all, and considered an expert in the area. Why should he play with a little brat? Wasn't it a waste of his time?

Fortunately, Ovi knew very well that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it. He had anticipated that these people would not obey if he did not give them some benefits, so he said directly at that time that as long as they took good care of Wen Le, the amount of squirrel skins that their team needed to hand in could be reduced by half.

This was definitely a great benefit for them. After all, even though they were all skilled hunters, they couldn't kill a whole squirrel with their bare hands. After all, individual strength was limited. The people under them weren't as skilled as they were, so it would be great if the number of squirrel skins they had to hand in every day could be reduced by half.

Maybe there will be some left over, which can be exchanged for other supplies, such as nutrient solution, protective clothing and other scarce goods. With these things, you can also ensure that you can live a more comfortable life in the future.

As for why they didn't pool their money to buy a boat ticket to somewhere else, it wasn't that expensive; at least the boat ticket from here to the slums was affordable. However, those who had left the slums were considered illegal immigrants and couldn't leave. Didn't you see that the top administrator, Ovi, was still here and hadn't gone anywhere?

If he could leave, he would probably be the first one to leave.

With the various benefits Ovi promised, these people accepted Wen Le's burden. Among them were some with quick minds, such as Li Er, the earth-type psychic. Although earth-type psychics were generally considered to be the most dull, Li Er was clearly not one of them.

Ever since he'd learned of Wen Le's healing abilities, he'd been intent on building a close relationship with him. Now that Ovi had assigned him this mission, though he feigned reluctance, he was actually beaming. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to get closer to Wen Le? And what could be closer than a teammate who'd fought together?

Unless Wen Le was born cold-hearted and heartless, if anything really happened to him in the future, he would definitely help him. Only that piece of wood would be so foolish as to offend others.

As for the wood-type mutant mentioned by Li Er, he was extremely displeased with Wen Le. Even though Ovi had given him enough benefits, his expression was still very grim. As for the other three people, they were fine. They probably just treated it as a child's play.

These three were easy to deal with. They were probably trying not to offend or win over him. It was obvious, after all, that Wen Le was someone Aowei was working hard to cultivate. No matter how much they did, they couldn't surpass Aowei. Being too obvious would only offend Aowei, which wouldn't be a good idea. However, while the wood-type psychic was a bit extreme, it was understandable. After all, Wen Le was just a ten-year-old kid. Forcing five of them to play with him was unacceptable.

Ultimately, it was his pride that was at work. He felt that being in the same team with Wen Le was too embarrassing for a psychic.

Wen Le knew he wasn't well-liked, so he remained very quiet when meeting the five people, and wouldn't boss anyone around just because he was a healing psychic. When Ovi introduced them to him, he politely greeted each one, so politely that he didn't even seem like he had activated his psychic powers.

Everyone's eyes flickered at his performance, but since they were all up there, they quickly hid the strangeness in their eyes. Ovi's impression of Wen Le improved even more; people who were discerning and humble always lived better lives; they were a promising talent worth cultivating.

After getting to know each other, Ovi chose Lear as the leader, and the hunting team was established. Since it was dark outside and they couldn't go out hunting, Lear assigned tasks to everyone and explained the tactics.

Basically, the Earth Element user stood in front, using his powers to form a wall to protect everyone, while the Wood Element user created vines to entangle the prey, while he and the other two carried out the hunt. As for Wen Le, he hid in the safest place, waiting for the right opportunity to heal everyone.

The assignments were quite reasonable. Although the wood-type psychic was unhappy about not being made captain, he couldn't get angry out of respect for Ovi and Li'er. His expression was rather grim.

Ovi was worried that Wen Le wouldn't be used to this kind of hunting activity for the first time, so he urged everyone to take good care of him. It didn't matter if there was nothing to catch on the first day; the most important thing was that everyone was safe. No one who had made it to the position of captain was stupid. Naturally, Ovi was hinting that protecting Wen Le was the priority during tomorrow's hunt, and that hunting itself was secondary.

When the others heard what Ovi said, they naturally nodded in agreement, which was also a formal recognition of Wen Le's identity as their teammate.

At the same time, the system suddenly rang: "Congratulations to the host for completing the team mission and gaining 50 proficiency points."

Wen Le didn't show it on his face, but he was smiling in his heart. He finally got rid of the knife hanging over his head. It was great that he could sleep soundly tonight.

However, a new task soon arrived. It was to have Wen Le successfully kill a gray rat tomorrow, and he would be rewarded with 200 proficiency points and 50 credit points. Hearing the system prompt, Wen Le guessed that this might be a long-term novice task, and he expected that there would be other tasks after killing the gray rat.
