He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

And so, everyone unanimously approved Zhang Beixing's idea. Those who had initially wanted to leave formed a new team to continue their mission.

Even though it was just renting an entire estate, it was still a very expensive matter. With that in mind, Zhang Beixing made his own plans, so he asked everyone again.

“Given our current financial situation, renting a manor temporarily isn’t so easy. So I’m thinking we need to find a way to make more money,” Zhang Beixing voiced his concerns.

Immediately, the other teammates responded one after another, all planning to work harder so they could earn enough money to rent the entire estate.

In an instant, everyone was united in their efforts to take on a major mission, hoping to improve their team and gain a foothold among the many teams at headquarters.

“Since that’s the case, and we’ve all agreed,” Zhang Beixing said, organizing the group. “Let’s head to headquarters now and take on a big, lucrative mission.”

To boost the morale of the others, Zhang Beixing specifically told the new teammates about what had happened before: "Last time, even with a difficult task like capturing a strange beast in the forest, we completed it all, so I think there won't be any problems this time."

At this point, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but feel confident, thinking that he had indeed made some achievements, and more and more new people were joining his team.

Thinking about this, Zhang Beixing felt that his choice was right and the hard work he had put in was worthwhile.

And so, Zhang Beixing approached headquarters in his capacity as team leader: "Headquarters, our team would like a slightly more challenging mission." Zhang Beixing said earnestly.

Considering that he had just formed a new team, Zhang Beixing couldn't boast too much about Haikou right away. He could only patiently explain to the people at headquarters why he wanted to apply for a difficult task right away.

"Don't let our relatively recent formation fool you; we were the ones who completed the previous mission to capture the alien beasts. This time, we really need the money, so we're hoping headquarters can give us a mission that's both well-paid and a bit challenging."

Having said that, Zhang Beixing patiently awaited the other party's reaction. Zhang Beixing's reputation was now known to some people at headquarters, so they immediately made arrangements for him and his group.

"There happens to be a mission here to escort military supplies, but the route is extremely dangerous. Just to be safe, you should put on your protective suits before you set off."

After saying that, the person from headquarters pointed to the side, indicating that Zhang Beixing and his group could directly rent protective suits from headquarters.

Zhang Beixing was well aware of this situation—headquarters still wanted to profit from these places. However, after thinking for a while, he decided that wearing protective clothing was still very necessary, so he immediately agreed.

Zhang Beixing and his team put on their protective suits and immediately set off. The escort mission was far less complicated than they had imagined, and they quickly completed it. However, on their way back, they were suddenly blocked by a group of people.

"Who are you people?" one of the teammates asked. The group blocking their path looked formidable. However, they were experienced enough to remain calm.

But Zhang Beixing had already seen through it all; they were just a bunch of bandits. So he quickly calmed down and whispered to his teammates, "They're just a bunch of bandits. We can handle them. There's no need to be afraid."

In this way, Zhang Beixing and his teammates quickly subdued all the bandits and sent them all to a nearby base.

The bandits initially tried to struggle, but seeing that Zhang Beixing and his group were all agile and skilled, they knew they had no chance to continue resisting, so they all stopped and let Zhang Beixing and his group take them to the base.

"We captured a group of bandits here while carrying out a mission," Zhang Beixing said casually, as if it were just a minor incident they encountered during their mission.

"As for how you want to handle it, that's up to you," Zhang Beixing said, preparing to hand over these bandits to the person in charge at the base so that they wouldn't have anything to do with them.

Adhering to the idea that it's better to avoid trouble, Zhang Beixing immediately instructed his teammates to leave quickly and make further arrangements after returning to headquarters.

The rest of the teammates all agreed with Zhang Beixing's words. And so, they returned to headquarters together and successfully completed the mission.

The people at headquarters were naturally very pleased to see that Zhang Beixing and his team had successfully completed their mission and returned in such a short time. They thought they were promising talents and praised them, saying, "We didn't expect you to be so capable."

Now that Zhang Beixing and his group had arrived at headquarters and received praise from everyone there, they were naturally delighted. However, while the praise was certainly necessary, it couldn't compare to the tangible reward.

Thinking about this, Zhang Beixing suddenly felt a sense of pride. He realized how enjoyable it was to be the team leader and lead a group of people all by himself. And now, working tirelessly for this team was indeed requiring a lot of effort.

But in Zhang Beixing's eyes at this moment, it was all worth it. So Zhang Beixing asked about the reward, and thinking that the mission had been completed quickly and well, his words naturally carried more confidence.

"Now that we have successfully completed the mission, it's time to settle our payment." Hearing this, the people at headquarters saw that Zhang Beixing had spoken, and that the mission they had performed was impeccable.

Therefore, the people at headquarters had no intention of withholding his payment and promptly and readily gave Zhang Beixing the full amount. This allowed Zhang Beixing to smoothly pay his rent and then proceed with his preparations.

Over the next few days, Zhang Beixing was very thoughtful. In the limited time he had, he used the money to buy the necessary supplies and also settled his other teammates into the house.

In the following days, after the trial phase, each teammate had to start practicing regularly. Zhang Beixing was no exception, except he also had the task of supervising.

However, after a few days of this, Zhang Beixing suddenly had an idea: he might be able to start expanding his team. After all, although his current teammates were all very strong, they would probably struggle to cope with a large and powerful opponent.

Thinking about this, Zhang Beixing suddenly felt that expanding the team was a very necessary thing. However, the specific methods still needed to be discussed with his teammates. Zhang Beixing always believed in democracy, so he asked for their opinions.

“I’d like to try to expand our team. I wonder if you have any ideas? Firstly, we do need more manpower to handle more tasks; secondly, I’m afraid it will be too strenuous and tiring for everyone.”

After Zhang Beixing finished speaking, someone immediately responded, "I think we can post recruitment ads on the bulletin board. This simplest and most direct method of recruiting people seems to be the most effective."

However, this suggestion was soon opposed by another teammate: "I don't think this method of recruitment is appropriate. In the end, the people recruited will be a mixed bag, and truly talented people won't care much about these advertisements."

This teammate's comment immediately made Zhang Beixing think. He suddenly felt that his eagerness to recruit talent might not be a rational approach, since not everyone was so passionate about the job.

Thinking of this, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but recall his former team leader. It was that leader's disloyalty that led to his and his teammates' sudden departure, and the formation of this current team. Although people kept offering suggestions on how to expand the team during the conversation, Zhang Beixing suddenly didn't want to take any of them. After all, it seemed that for a team to go far, it wasn't about having a large number of members.

What we should really value is the quality of each teammate. Instead of blindly expanding the team's size, we should train each person to be extremely skilled. Thinking this way, Zhang Beixing felt much more at ease.

“I think we shouldn’t expand the team any further. The most important thing in a team isn’t having a lot of people, but that everyone is loyal,” Zhang Beixing began to explain to his teammates.

"We need to unite as one so that we can overcome any difficulties we encounter. Only in this way can our team truly become strong."

Although some people were still determined to expand the team, Zhang Beixing rejected them one by one with reason and emotion. After all, as the team leader, he had to take responsibility for certain things.

“Take those bandits we dealt with before, for example. They outnumbered us so many, but we still defeated them easily and sent them to the base to be punished,” Zhang Beixing recounted the story.

"So it seems that a large team, if not managed properly, can actually hinder its progress. Does that make it clear to you all now?" Zhang Beixing said, calmly looking at the others.

As expected, Zhang Beixing's words completely moved his teammates. They all agreed that what Zhang Beixing said made a lot of sense, and they no longer had any intention of recruiting more people to expand the team. Instead, they focused on practicing diligently.

They all trained very seriously, never being careless; that was the bare minimum. Zhang Beixing also set much higher standards for himself, consistently training for exceptionally long periods each day.

Seeing how serious Zhang Beixing was, those people naturally didn't want to fall behind.

Zhang Beixing's team always completed their tasks quickly and well. The guiding principle for the tasks he assigned them was speed, stability, and, most importantly, quality.

Their mission completion rate was so high that other teams started to get envious.

Their reputation has greatly increased, and almost everyone knows about Zhang Beixing's team.

This made him the target of the guards' jealousy.

That day, they saw Zhang Beixing's team training there, and they watched from the other side.

One of them said, "They're just putting on airs here; we don't even know if they're really capable." He glared at them fiercely.

Another person walked over and put his hand on his shoulder: "Exactly! You're definitely going to mess this up."

They looked at Zhang Beixing, a pang of jealousy rising in their hearts. A group of people stood there for a moment. "I don't want to look anymore, just looking at him makes me angry."

The man left after speaking. The others remained, watching them. "It seems like every time we go to accept a mission, they snatch it away from us."

Another person said, "They took most of the tasks, completed them so quickly, and were paid a lot."

They stared disapprovingly at the people training in front of them. They were simply jealous of how much money the other group received.

Those practicing inside seemed to have noticed the people over there. "Hey, look over there."

Someone called out to the person next to them. The person turned around and saw a large group of people standing there with their arms around each other, looking at them.

He turned to the man and said, "Their eyes don't seem very friendly." The man looked and agreed.

He turned back to continue training: "Hey, they're just jealous of us! We completed our tasks quickly and well."

They talked as they trained. "So what if you're jealous? I'm actually enjoying it." After saying that, the two of them even laughed.

Their actions were noticed by others. Zhang Beixing saw it too. He quietly said, "Ignore the others, focus on training."

After hearing this, the two shut their mouths and trained silently.

Those outside, seeing that the two seemed to be laughing at them, felt a surge of anger. "What's with the attitude? Let's go, let's go."

The others glanced at him dismissively and left. Zhang Beixing noticed the commotion outside. After they left, he turned back to continue his training.

That day, Zhang Beixing went out on a mission alone. He didn't bring anyone with him, and besides, everyone else was on their own missions, so he could go alone.

He made some preparations and then set off.

On his journey, he saw a guard team appear before him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the Eagle Wings Guard.

The Eagle Wings Guard also noticed Zhang Beixing. Seeing that he was alone, they thought they could teach him a lesson.

So they went up to the captain and said, "Captain, look at him all alone, why don't we teach him a lesson? Who told them to be so arrogant all the time?"

The captain was also a little resentful. He saw how quickly the other party accepted the mission and how famous they were in the guard team, and he felt a bit annoyed.

They ran into each other head-on. Zhang Beixing wasn't intimidated; instead, he walked straight up to them. It would be impolite not to greet someone he knew.

And this is the only path he can take. (End of Chapter)
