Fang Qingdai and her group returned to Xuanwu No. 4 base and rested for one night. They prepared to return to the base early the next morning.
The mission was completed quite successfully, and in addition to the basic mission rewards, there were also quite a few extra gains.
For example, the extra desert cats could be sold for points, and Xiao Mao emptied his savings and even borrowed some from Mao Ling to replenish the team with that level 6 crystal core.
Most importantly, last night's battle with the desert cat unexpectedly spawned two mutated plants.
Yesterday, after returning to Xuanwu No. 4 base and showing it to Xuan Liu, I learned that the two mutated plants were the rare Spirit Wind Flowers!
Adult Spirit Wind Flowers can shoot out wind blades, which are extremely lethal.
Most importantly, the Azure Phoenix can be used to create a wind shield for people, and with the wind on their backs, everyone's speed will increase significantly!
Just like those mutated rats, because of the wind element, they were able to chase Jing Yi and his group around in a rather disheveled manner!
The Spirit Wind Flower is still young and can only shake its branches and leaves; its destructive power is average.
However, Fang Qingdai has a space that is particularly suitable for the growth of mutated plants. She can then set aside an area for Qingluan to nurture her mutated plants. Once the Spirit Wind Flower matures, the team's combat power will increase significantly!
Fang Qingdai is now eager to return to the base and sort out her gains.
Xuan Liu went to say goodbye to his friends, but received an invitation instead.
“My friend said that satellite monitoring detected a beast tide in the southwest. According to their movement trajectory, without intervention, the beast tide will pass through Xuanwu No. 4 outpost in about a week. So he hopes that our team can accept the job and stay to help outpost No. 4 resist the beast tide.”
Fang Qingdai hadn't experienced this before and didn't quite understand, so she asked directly, "Then why not intervene in the expulsion?"
"Without enough manpower and resources, a beast tide can gather tens of thousands of alien beasts at a time. They are affected by the magnetic field and become extremely frenzied, with their aggression doubling. In that situation, even if the base intervenes, it may not be able to successfully drive them away."
Fang Qingdai nodded in understanding, and at the same time gained a more concrete feeling about the weakness of humanity in the wasteland world.
No wonder that even after fifty years in the wasteland, life is still hard for humans.
With insufficient manpower, powerful opponents, and declining technology, the fact that we have been able to maintain the current situation is already a testament to the immense sacrifices made by our predecessors.
“The Xuanwu No. 4 base has applied to the base for assistance. In addition to the official personnel, they will also offer employment to the superhuman team. My friend thinks we are strong enough, so he asked me to ask the captain if you are willing.”
Xuan Liu offered a few more explanations, but Fang Qingdai thought for a while and then shook her head.
"I don't think we are strong enough to fight the beast tide right now."
The initial integration has only just begun to show results, and they're already thinking about participating in a battle that might not happen again for a decade. That's taking too big a step.
Moreover, Fang Qingdai's development direction is to cultivate manpower and investigate the forces behind Lu Rui. Whether or not there is a beast tide, it has no impact on her.
The safety of the people at Outpost No. 4 is also a concern for the base's higher-ups; Fang Qingdai is no savior.
Apart from Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba, who were officially born, the other team members were somewhat uninterested.
Seeing this, Xuan Liu didn't mention it again, and the group finally returned to the Xuanwu base, travel-worn and exhausted.
Upon returning to the base, Fang Qingdai immediately led her team to hand over the mission.
He took on three tasks at once and completed them all with a 100% success rate. Although none of the tasks were the most difficult, his performance was still quite impressive.
In particular, Fang Qingdai and her team made a striking appearance on the day they left the city, drawing the attention of many to this newly formed team. As a result, many people secretly observed them when they came to hand in their mission.
Seeing that they all returned safely and the mission was 100% accomplished, many people were secretly tempted.
Who wouldn't want a team with good benefits and perks?
Joining the team comes with a full set of defensive gear!
Moreover, seeing that everyone returned safely, with neither the kid nor the fat guy injured, it's clear that the team's strength is exceptional.
Before even leaving the mission hall, Fang Qingdai had already received several applications to join the team.
Fang Qingdai was very happy. What she needed most right now was manpower, and she did indeed plan to recruit more people.
But not like that, just randomly picking people in the lobby.
What she's doing is not something that ordinary people can easily get involved in, and she doesn't trust most people.
For now, we should focus on building the team's reputation. With more people coming for interviews, we can eventually find some suitable candidates.
Fang Qingdai politely accepted the contact information of the few people who wanted to apply to join the team, saying she would discuss it when she got back.
After returning to the house that served as the team's base, everyone was busy distributing the rewards.
"This time, the three missions earned 1,500 points. The extra six desert cat furs were sold for 200 points. The level 6 crystal cores used by Xiao Mao were used to replenish 10,000 points. So, the total income this time was 11,700 points."
Although everyone had a general idea, their eyes still widened when they heard the actual number!
You should know that for other teams' superhumans, earning three to five hundred points a month is already considered pretty good.
However, they earned more than 10,000 points on this mission. Although it was an unexpected gain from a level 6 crystal core, it was still a pleasant surprise.
Of the 11,700 points, 50% were handed over to the team, leaving 5,850 points.
Of the 5,850 points, 20% will be used as a reward.
That's 1,170 points.
Fang Qingdai simply leaned back in her chair and said, "Everyone, let's discuss this. Who do you think deserves the most credit and should be awarded points for their contributions in this mission?"
In this kind of matter, only the team members themselves have the final say; her team doesn't tolerate any autocratic policies.
Xiao Mao was the first to speak: "I think, sis, no, captain, you deserve the most credit! You were the one who hunted all the desert cats, and the extra ones should have been your personal spoils, but you didn't mind and included them in the team."
"There's still room to hide. Without your space, we don't know how many injuries we would have suffered! And your lure and potions, I think those things should be deducted from the team's score, that would be fair to you!"
“In that case, the equipment we’re wearing, as well as the dune buggies and other gear, should also be deducted.” Huang Changming nodded in agreement.
Fang Qingdai narrowed her eyes, finding it somewhat amusing.
These two guys were probably afraid she'd be too shy to admit she'd been taken advantage of, so they brought it up on purpose.
Fang Qingdai didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I only need to deduct two thousand from the team's points for the vehicles, protective gear, and medicines and nutrients used on the first mission. I got these supplies through connections, so they're not as expensive as the market price. Two thousand is enough."
Xiao Mao was still not convinced and confirmed with Fang Qingdai several times before reluctantly agreeing.
