Chen Jin stepped forward. "Hello, Commander. My name is Chen Jin, and I have a metal-type enhancement ability."
Second Brother Xie nodded. "Melee-type ability? Not bad. Our three teams don't have many melee fighters, so this can fill a gap. What level is it?"
Level 6.
Brother Xie frowned slightly; his level was still a little too low.
She looked at the man behind her, "Qiao Ning, take him with you. His metal-type ability is a good weapon."
The man behind him nodded. "Understood."
As she spoke, she continued to look at Chen Jin, "Qiao Ning is an earth-elemental enhancer and a level seven ability user. Your ability is better than his. I hope that after some time you will be better than him as well."
"I will try my best."
After saying that, she looked at Lin Xi and said, "Judging from Xiao Liu's appearance, you should be pretty good. Although I also have psychic abilities, there are no special training methods for psychic abilities so far, so I can't help you much. You should work hard on your own."
"Okay." Lin Xi nodded.
Perhaps her answer was too straightforward, so Xie Erge couldn't help but take another look at her and hesitated before asking, "Or, should I find someone to train your close combat skills with?"
"Need not."
Brother Xie paused for a moment, and then said, "Alright, let's do it this way."
Qiao Ning glanced at her, then looked at Chen Jin, "From now on, you just need to fight with me."
Walk to the rest area.
Sun Shang recorded all their performance and time spent on missions on a form, including their results in the unified competitions organized by the military region.
Upon seeing Sun Shang's action, everyone who was supposed to be training stopped in their tracks and silently looked at Xie Erge.
"What? Sixth?" Xie Erge's voice rose several octaves, his face filled with disbelief.
The atmosphere inexplicably became oppressive.
With each increase in Xie Erge's seriousness, everyone else's expression grew increasingly grim.
Lin Xi clearly saw that Xie Erge's hand holding the paper gradually tightened and trembled slightly.
He looks like he's really angry.
She silently took out a nutritional supplement and took small sips.
The sound was slightly jarring in the air.
Zhu Gan, who was standing next to her, gently tugged at her sleeve and gestured with his eyes for her to stop making any more noise.
Snap!
Everyone shuddered.
Xie Erge slammed the documents in his hand onto the table.
"I thought sixth place was outrageous enough for you guys, but I didn't expect there would be even more outrageous things waiting for me as I went up, did I? Last place in a row? You guys have really made something of yourselves!"
Her face was extremely gloomy, and Lin Xi silently took a few steps back.
This has absolutely nothing to do with her; don't get caught in the crossfire.
"Come on, tell me everything, what exactly happened?" She sat on the lounge chair behind her, her gaze as sharp as a knife.
It remained deathly quiet.
Even Sun Shang silently stepped aside without saying a word.
Brother Xie sneered and looked at Brother Liu, who had his head down and looked guilty. "Little Liu, you tell us."
Suddenly being called out, Brother Liu was a little unhappy, and hesitantly said, "It's just that little thing, right? Everyone's become lax since you left..."
"Sun Shang! Tell me!"
Sun Shang glanced at everyone before slowly speaking, "Thank you, Second Brother. These are all seniors here; what I say is useless."
"Is it useless or is nobody listening?" Xie Erge walked up to Liu Ge. "Little Liu, are you guys bullying Sun Shang because you're senior and strong?"
"He wasn't qualified to be the acting commander in the first place..." someone finally muttered to themselves.
In an instant, countless voices echoed.
"Exactly! Don't they know their own limitations? Why should they be in charge of us?"
Sun Shang was also quite helpless about this, "Second Brother Xie, you know my personality. I'm not the kind of person who likes to stand out. It's just that none of them wanted to be the acting commander, so they had no choice but to promote me..."
Another silence fell, and everyone felt a little guilty, because what Sun Shang said was true.
"is that so?"
No one answered.
"You all put on quite an air! Just because you're older and joined the military region earlier, you dare to blatantly disregard the rules and bully the new commander?"
"I'm sorry, Brother Xie, we really did let our guard down during this period," Brother Liu sighed.
"You should apologize to Sun Shang, and apologize to yourselves! You disrespected the new commander, ignored his contributions, and then lowered your standards. Compared to the other teams, you lost half the time you could have spent improving yourselves! When it comes to future missions or battlefields, you will be the weak ones! The weak are the ones who will lose their lives first!"
"Are you all planning to wait until then to regret it?"
Brother Liu opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
He thought about it carefully later and realized that they were indeed at fault first, and there was nothing to explain.
We have to accept the punishment, what else can we do?
He walked around from the back of the crowd to Sun Shang's side. "Little Sun, Lao San told me about this before. I thought about it later and realized that we really are sorry for you. Here, I apologize to you on behalf of everyone. Don't take it to heart. We definitely won't do it again."
Sun Shang looked at Lin Xi in surprise, not expecting that she would actually speak up for him.
Lin Xi immediately noticed that she was being watched.
She smiled at him across the crowd.
Sun Shang looked away. "Brother Liu, don't say that. It's true that I'm not capable enough to take on this position."
"Well, it was indeed us who deliberately made things difficult for you. To be honest, you've done more than enough these past few days."
Xie Erge found it strange; from what she knew, Xiao Liu was as stubborn as a donkey.
He's always been so stubborn, but today he's actually willing to back down?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the third brother who was standing far away.
Xiao Liu just mentioned her.
What magic does this newcomer possess that made Xiao Liu willingly bow his head and admit his mistake?
Lin Xi lowered her head, realizing that the fire at the city gate had affected the innocent bystanders.
Even though she wasn't involved in this, why does this oppressive cloud still hang over her?
Especially that probing gaze...
It's strangely unsettling.
Really... what does this have to do with me?
Xie Erge's expression relaxed a bit. "What happened next? Why did the ranking suddenly jump to sixth?"
As she spoke, she picked up the documents she had just slammed onto the table, and then... at this point in time.
Is it because the newcomers have brought a sense of community and motivation to the team?
Another newcomer.
Xie Erge raised his head and looked at Chen Jin first.
There doesn't seem to be anything special about him; the other members' attitudes towards him are... pretty normal.
But the other one is the third child.
When Brother Liu talked about her, his tone became more respectful...
