The comment, "We're too familiar with each other, it's hard to make a move," earned Lin Feng's immediate thumbs-up.
"Damn, I'm really impressed by you, you old sixth brother!"
"No, it's 666!"
"Let me tell you, if a woman is interested in you, just go for it boldly."
Lu Yuan felt that there seemed to be some truth to it.
I asked casually:
"What if you get rejected? Won't that be embarrassing?"
Lin Feng gave Lu Yuan a disdainful look:
"If you refuse, forget it and find someone else."
"If this thing succeeds, won't my sexual happiness be guaranteed for the rest of my life?"
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile:
"You madman, you haven't changed at all over the years, you're still as carefree and irresponsible as ever."
Lin Feng shrugged indifferently, looking like he was lecturing someone:
"Change? Why change?"
"What changes is age, what remains unchanged is mindset."
"The three best teachers in life are an empty wallet, failed experiences, and people who leave you!"
“You’ve had all three of these things, so tell me, what else do you have to be afraid of? Is there anything worse than this?”
"Go for it, Sao Yuan! I'm rooting for you!"
Lin Feng's words were definitely problematic, but Lu Yuan didn't know how to refute them.
"Captain, I'm back!"
Just then, Wang Tianhu's voice came from outside the door.
The sound arrived, and so did the person.
Lu Yuan looked up and saw that Wang Tianhu had indeed returned.
Wang Tianhu looks like he was teleported quite far, and it seems he traveled a considerable distance.
"Tianhu, where is Cai Zhiying?"
"Aren't you with her?"
Wang Tianhu shook his head and then began to recount his experience of being teleported.
It turns out this guy was lucky; he was teleported directly to a ravine not far from Storm Canyon.
Of course, this guy wasn't familiar with the area and didn't know how far it was from the Tai'an settlement.
So he foolishly stayed there leveling up, and eventually ran into two people. After asking around, he realized that he hadn't teleported very far.
If he hadn't been delayed, he probably would have been the first to get back.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled.
"Let's not talk about that now, it's good that you're back."
"Come, Tianhu, let me introduce you, this is my..."
Dinner consisted of four dishes and a soup; the portions were generous, and the food tasted quite good.
At least in the apocalypse, this kind of food is really pretty good.
In the end times, some starve to death, while others overeat. Those with means can feast on meat and fish every day, while those without means struggle to even have enough to eat.
However, everyone was already quite satisfied, especially Sun Yuansheng and Sun Siyuan.
They hadn't eaten this kind of food for over a year.
Lu Yuan didn't eat much, or rather, the entire team didn't eat much.
This is not to say they weren't hungry, although the battle was tough and the team wasn't very wealthy.
But compared to ordinary people, they live a much better life.
At the very least, having enough to eat and wear will never be a problem.
If they wish, they can join any faction. As a Spirit Master, they will receive corresponding treatment no matter which faction they join.
Of course, there are limitations as well.
The saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding," meaning that if you take someone's salary, you have to listen to their orders.
This is one reason why many Spirit Masters, such as Gong Yuehan, would rather form their own teams than join a faction.
Seeing that everyone had basically finished eating, Lu Yuan took out the Soul Crystals he had been rewarded with for this mission.
"Everyone's here, I have a few things to announce."
"Everyone did a great job on this mission. The reward is 1,000 Soul Crystals."
"There are six people participating this time, so each person will receive one hundred soul crystals."
"The rest will be used for team reserves and various expenses. From now on, I will mainly be responsible for external affairs, while Yuehan will mainly be responsible for internal affairs."
"As for Cai Zhiying's copy, Gong Yuehan will keep it for now. Does anyone have any objections?"
The reward for the mission is indeed one thousand Soul Crystals.
As for the other two thousand soul crystals given by Luo Qingcheng, Lu Yuan had no intention of taking them out.
After all, he spends a lot of money and needs to prepare for building his own power in the future.
Others can do without preparing, but he can't.
As the saying goes, "He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present." Lu Yuan is a man who is terrified of poverty, and his ambitions will definitely not stop at the Tai'an Residence.
If they want to develop in the future, they will need a lot of funds, and they can't be doing tasks all the time.
Even if you were to do quests, there wouldn't be that many quests that would require you to collect Ice Condensation Grass.
Therefore, in the early stages, these two thousand soul crystals were a very precious fortune.
"Captain, I don't have much money to spend, so I don't need this soul crystal!"
The person speaking was none other than the most honest Wang Tianhu.
Lu Yuan actually quite admired Wang Tianhu.
More than a year into the apocalypse, people like Wang Tianhu are almost extinct.
"Tianhu, this is what you deserve."
"Besides, your pet also needs soul crystals to improve its strength. It's impossible for it to go out to do missions every day."
"However, in the future, I will distribute rewards based on everyone's contributions."
Lu Yuan handed a thousand soul crystals to Gong Yuehan.
From that moment on, Gong Yuehan became the head steward of the entire team, or rather, the future power.
Lu Yuan has handed over all his family's wealth to Gong Yuehan.
Gong Yuehan was overjoyed.
She understood Lu Yuan's words differently than others.
Gong Yuehan remembered what Lu Yuan had just said: Lu Yuan was in charge of external affairs, while she was in charge of internal affairs. Did this mean...?
Seeing that no one had any objections, Lu Yuan brought up the second matter.
"Then let's discuss what to do next."
"The next main event is the power ranking competition. Everyone has signed up except for Wang Tianhu and Liu Xinghong."
"us……"
Lin Feng interrupted Lu Yuan by raising his hand.
"Excuse me, but I'd like to interject!"
"I think we can work around this and find a loophole."
"For example, if Vice Captain Gong is currently ranked 97th, then we should challenge her."
"That way I can become one of the top ninety-six, while Vice Captain Gong can continue to challenge those ahead of me."
Lin Feng became more and more excited as he spoke, saying that even before he finished speaking, he felt that this really could work.
Lu Yuan was indeed somewhat tempted, so he looked at Gong Yuehan, his meaning quite clear: he was asking Gong Yuehan if this was acceptable.
Gong Yuehan shook her head and began to explain:
"Lin Feng, you're overthinking it. Do you really think no one would have thought of such a simple loophole?"
"As mentioned before, if you want to participate in ranking tournaments, you must first participate in qualifying tournaments, which are knockout tournaments."
"Only when you are qualified can you challenge the members on the power ranking. Let me put it this way, if I am ranked fiftieth and someone else takes my place."
"So I'm number fifty-one. If I want to challenge a higher level, I can only defeat the people who defeated me before."
"In other words, in the end, we kept going around in circles and hovering at the lowest ranking. If we wanted to challenge for a higher ranking, we first had to challenge our own people."
"Moreover, if you fail this challenge or are defeated by someone else, you will not be qualified to continue the challenge."
"Only when the next challenge hasn't even started can you apply to challenge the person who defeated you. Do you think we'd spend so much time worrying about this ranking?"
