He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

After the young master's outburst, fewer and fewer people signed up. It wasn't that they didn't want to join Zhang Beixing's guard, but rather that they were afraid of the young master's power and preferred to stay away.

In fact, even under such coercion from others, there were still twenty or thirty people who withstood the pressure and continued to persevere with the assessment.

After the assessment, only about twenty people remained. They were the successful recruits and became the new recruits.

Zhang Beixing then brought these new recruits who had passed the assessment to his base.

"I am very grateful to all of you for trusting me so much and joining my team today."

The newcomers, expecting Zhang Beixing to persuade them to leave, were somewhat resistant to his actions. Although they knew his words were for their own good, they were not afraid of the young master's threats.

“We are not afraid of him. We joined your team because we value your courage, so don’t let us down.”

"Trust me, I won't let you down. I'm so grateful that you withstood the pressure today and still chose to join my team. Let's work together!"

After speaking, Zhang Beixing began assigning tasks. Before assigning tasks to the veteran teammates, he first said, "Let's all warmly welcome the newcomers."

The original teammates were overjoyed to see the new members join. They'd also heard that the new recruits had come under immense pressure, and they believed their perseverance was extraordinary.

After assigning tasks to his teammates, he went out to find a new base.

Headquarters will assign him a new base, but the requirement is that they must complete enough tasks in exchange for the base.

“I don’t think it’s necessary for us to go out and find a new base. After all, the higher-ups have already approved a new base for us, but the premise is that we complete the mission.”

He felt that the requirements his superiors had given him were not very high. As long as they completed them, they would get a new base, which would be very worthwhile for them.

"In that case, I won't go out to look for a new base. I'll go see what missions are available."

Zhang Beixing found the task list and looked at it. It stated that the task could be completed by finding a poisonous herb, but this task was risky.

He considered abandoning the medium-difficulty mission and starting slowly with a few new recruits from the beginning. However, he also wanted to acquire the base quickly, so he accepted a medium-difficulty mission instead.

"Our mission this time is to find poisonous herbs. I'll be leading a few of you new recruits on this mission. What do you think?"

The new recruits were overjoyed to hear they had tasks to perform. It was time to showcase their abilities and let Zhang Beixing appreciate their value.

"I have no objection!"

After saying this, they embarked on the arduous task of searching for the poisonous herb. They hoped the mission would be a complete success, so they could reclaim the base assigned to them by their superiors.

"Whether we can successfully get a new base this time depends on how well this mission is completed. So everyone must work hard."

"Don't worry, I will do my best and I will definitely not hold everyone back."

"Me too."

Then the group held up a photograph showing the shape of a poisonous plant. They entered a forest. Before coming, they had learned that this poisonous plant existed there, but it was extremely dangerous.

As soon as they entered the forest, Zhang Beixing instructed them on what to be careful of to avoid encountering poisonous plants, which would cause them great trouble. They carried very little with them.

Carrying too much would be a burden, so they only brought essential items and not much else. Therefore, if they were poisoned by plants, they would have to find other ways to treat it.

"Those of you following behind must be very careful about the environment in this forest. Some animals are poisonous, and if they accidentally come into contact with your bodies, they will cause paralysis. In that case, the venom will enter your internal organs through the skin, which can lead to death in severe cases."

These new recruits, being on their first mission, were unfamiliar with the forest. Zhang Beixing's words made them more cautious.

Zhang Beixing's experience on this mission shows that his team members are all very hardworking.

When they encounter something they don't understand, they will find a notebook and a pen and record the information in detail.

"Come and see what this is! I've never seen anything like it before, I'm so curious!"

The newcomers seemed naive and unsophisticated. Perhaps some of the new members grew up in the city and had limited experience with the team led by Zhang Beixing.

"Don't be curious about these things. I will explain them to you one by one this time."

Everyone was overjoyed to hear Zhang Beixing say this, as it was their first time in the forest, and for some of them it was indeed their first time.

Some people even brought their phones and took pictures of the plants and animals they had never seen before.

"I think the plants and animals here are so cute."

Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, Zhang Beixing raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait a minute, you haven't survived here yet. There are some beautiful plants and animals that you can't touch because their limbs and fur are poisonous."

As soon as Zhang Beixing said this, the person who had been about to touch the plant immediately pulled his hand back; he was also frightened. If Zhang Beixing hadn't reminded him, he might have already touched the plant.

"It's a good thing you reminded me today, otherwise I would be lying here right now."

He was very grateful for Zhang Beixing's words; otherwise, if he had touched the plants and animals here without knowing their significance, he might have ended up dead here.

"Could you tell us the names of these plants so we can learn something new?"

Then Zhang Beixing pointed to the plants and animals around them and told them the names and types of the animals and plants.

They were also told which plants were poisonous, which were non-toxic, and that some had medicinal properties. Others were purely toxic, and they were warned to be careful and avoid contact with them, as it could be fatal.

Zhang Beixing shared all his knowledge with the newcomers, who listened with great interest. Some even went online to research the information, memorizing it and learning more about the stories of these plants and animals.

……

"Now you understand the situation fairly well. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, please be careful and pay attention to your safety when you are not with me."

The newlyweds found the advice very helpful. "Thank you for your guidance. We should be able to tell the difference when we encounter similar situations in the future."

As they slowly advanced, they encountered considerable difficulties, and only after many hardships did they finally reach the area where the poisonous herb they were looking for was located.

As soon as they entered the forest, Zhang Beixing glanced around and noticed that there were more and more poisonous plants and animals, and the mountain path was becoming increasingly difficult to traverse. "Everyone, watch your step. The path here is difficult to walk on, and most of the plants and animals here look poisonous. Be careful where you step."

After trekking through mountains and rivers and facing numerous dangers, they finally arrived at the forest area where they were searching for poisonous herbs.

"From now on, you need to be on high alert, as you have already entered the inner perimeter of this area."

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised that they had arrived at the place where the poisonous weeds grew so quickly after passing the site.

They quickly took out the photos of poisonous plants that Zhang Beixing had prepared for them in advance from their backpacks, and compared them one by one.

"Doesn't this look like the poisonous plant in the photo? It looks exactly like it to me."

Zhang Beixing took a look and indeed it did resemble the image somewhat, but he still shook his head.

"Although they look similar, they are not the same as what you see. Do you see its leaves? Their main bodies look very similar, but there are still differences in the leaves. This one is giant, so there are still some differences between the two."

The person compared the image in the photo to the grass growing on the ground and indeed found differences around the leaves.

"I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out; I had completely overlooked this small detail."

Zhang Beixing shook his head and said, "It's not that we've overlooked it, but rather that it's so rare that it's been misidentified. Besides, the serrations on these leaves are not easy to spot."

As time went by, they found another plant, exactly the same as the one in the picture. This time, they carefully verified it before deciding to go see it.

Zhang Beixing was astonished to find that this poisonous plant was so potent.

"Everyone be careful, this grass is extremely poisonous, and if you get it on your skin, you may fall into a coma."

Before Zhang Beixing could even utter those words, someone tried to touch the poisonous plant, but was fortunately pulled back in time, otherwise he might have been in mortal danger.

"Remember, in the future, you must not touch unfamiliar plants directly with your hands. You must use special methods to carefully observe them and make sure they are not poisonous before touching them with your hands, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Zhang Beixing didn't initially know how potent the poisonous plant was, but after seeing its shape, he immediately recognized it as the Queen Bee Poison Plant.

"I'm sure none of you know why I don't want you to touch it with your hands, right?"

Indeed, these people didn't understand why Zhang Beixing wouldn't let them touch the poisonous plant. Its appearance was unremarkable compared to other plants, so why couldn't they be allowed to touch it?

"Then please explain to us why we can't touch its body with our hands."

Based on his extensive experience, Zhang Beixing then recounted information about this poisonous plant.

After the explanation, he told his new subordinates not to touch the poisonous plant.

Now the newcomers generally understand why they shouldn't touch it with their hands. Zhang Beixing then used his unique method to extract the poisonous herb, explaining each step to his new recruits as he successfully dug it up.

The crowd looked at him with admiration, impressed by his abilities. They felt lucky to have chosen the right team and successfully become Zhang Beixing's subordinates.

"Now that the poisonous herb has been successfully extracted, this mission can be considered a complete success."

After their success, their next plan was to return to headquarters via the same route they had taken.

They had gone through countless hardships to get here, but if they went back the way they came, they would have to take a long and winding route. So they took out a map and tried to find a shorter way back.

"This road is much shorter than the one we came by. Why don't we go back in the other direction?"

Zhang Beixing glanced at the map in his hand and realized that this route was indeed much shorter than the one they had taken to get here. So they decided to head south, which should get them out of the forest sooner.

"Let's follow the route you've decided on and head back to headquarters now."

The return journey was much easier than the way there. The journey there involved crossing mountains and rivers, but the return journey was relatively flat and not as difficult as the way there.

The group quickly and safely exited the forest, and their tense feelings finally subsided.

"Alright, we've finally said goodbye to this devilish forest. Luckily, we were careful in there, or we might have perished there."

Zhang Beixing found it somewhat amusing to see the men sitting on the ground, panting and catching their breath. Looking at them reminded him of his own early days in the army.

After a while, he felt he had rested enough.

"We've had enough rest. Now we must get back to headquarters as quickly as possible."

They quickly returned to headquarters. Unfortunately, upon arriving at the headquarters, Zhang Beixing saw the young master walking out just as he reached the entrance.

The young nobleman opposite was somewhat surprised to see Zhang Beixing return safely, after all, the mission he had taken was extremely dangerous.

"I didn't expect you to be so lucky; you came back alive from such a dangerous place."

After all, the young master had been hurt by Zhang Beixing, and his greatest wish was that Zhang Beixing would not return alive from a dangerous mission; that would be the happiest thing for him.

"It's all because I was worried about you. I thought about it and realized I couldn't let anything happen to me, so I struggled to come back. I was afraid you would be disappointed."

When the young nobleman heard Zhang Beixing say that, he was so angry that he stomped his feet.

"I hope you'll be just as lucky next time and be able to stand before me safe and sound."

Zhang Beixing knew that every word the young master said was against his conscience, but he had nothing to say. There was no point in arguing with such a scoundrel.

"Then I thank you for your kind words, my esteemed friend. I will definitely stand safely before you next time."

Seeing Zhang Beixing's still arrogant and domineering attitude, the young nobleman felt somewhat resentful. Why did he always get the good things?
The two got into an argument at the door, which the leader witnessed.

He stood at a distance, quietly observing the conflict between the two, but did not intervene.

He still had important matters to attend to, and now he had to hand over his tasks to his superiors before he could consider the mission complete. (End of Chapter)
