Chapter 117 Team Leader

Chen Guan carefully studied the task system of the reserve team and found that if the team failed to complete the task, the amount of pills they could get would be pitifully small. If they could complete the fixed tasks and take on some random tasks to get more points, they would be able to get much more pills than they do now.

"No, if the team fails to complete the mission, I won't be able to get the elixir. How can I just give up such a good elixir? With the help of the elixir, my level can be raised faster. It is right to awaken again and join the regular army as soon as possible. I don't have time to play house here." Chen Guan was thinking about how to help the team complete the mission together.

In fact, the team's mission is not that difficult. Most of the fixed tasks are to clear out the secret spirit group.

The Beimang Mountain Blessed Land is right next to the reserve troops’ base. It is also the private secret territory of the Heavenly Court Army. The Heavenly Court Army has many military bases in the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land.

The reserve team also has a pass to the secret realm of Beimang Mountain, and needs to accept the mission to clear out the group of secret spirits near the military base.

Those secret spirits are all low-level creatures, and it is troublesome to clean them up because of their large number. The regular army does not care about them and does not have the time to clean them up, so the task falls on the reserve team.

Team 17 was assigned 7 fixed tasks this month, all of which were to clear out secret spirits, but the areas divided were different.

Most of the clearing tasks require clearing a type of secret spirit called Huangquan Yinbing, which are basically of ordinary quality. Occasionally, one or two Huangquan Yinjiang will be rare or uncommon secret spirits.

Among the seven tasks, six are to clear out the Yellow Springs soldiers near a military base, and one task is to clear out the giant ghost python at the foot of Cuiyun Peak.

"Captain Shi, I think these tasks are not difficult. We brothers should be able to kill the secret spirit after one sleep. If we complete the fixed tasks, it would be nice to get some pills every month." Chen Guan said thoughtfully.

Shi Zhimen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you don't know. I'm not bragging, but our brothers, the older generation, are all regular soldiers of the Heavenly Court. We have been educated by the older generation since childhood. Although we can't say we are particularly powerful, we still have some abilities. If it's a one-on-one fight, let alone the Yellow Springs Ghost Soldiers, even the Yellow Springs Ghost Generals, we brothers are not inferior."

"But these Yellow Springs Ghost Soldiers usually appear in groups, with at least a few hundred, at most thousands, or even tens of thousands. They also arrange their troops in battle formations, and when they fight, it's like a well-organized battle. Our team is now captainless, and there are only 11 of us, including you. It would be difficult to withstand hundreds of Yellow Springs Ghost Soldiers, let alone a large group of them. Two fists are no match for four hands."

Chen Guan didn't say anything else, just laughed it off and continued to learn horse riding from Shi Zhimen.

If other teams can kill them, aren't they afraid of being outmatched? Ultimately, Shi Zhimen and his men have either given up, or simply don't have the energy to do this, and don't want to take risks.

Some of them may have lost confidence in themselves, some have lost confidence in their teammates, and some are just waiting for the second awakening to join the regular army. They have no intention of doing this at all, so they put other things aside.

Since they didn't want to go, there was no need for Chen Guan to say anything. He was not the team leader yet, so there were some things he shouldn't say.

"Brother, you are really talented. Among all the people I have taught, you learn the fastest and the best. With such talent, why did you come to our team? It's such a waste of talent." Shi Zhimen hinted, wanting to know what Chen Guan's background was.

He himself did not have a decent background. His parents were veterans of the Heavenly Court Army. He was sent to the reserve team with the help of his parents' old leader.

After joining the Heavenly Army, there were not many people who could take care of him, so he also wanted to find a backer.

"My experience and ability are too lacking, so it would be good to practice a little." Chen Guan said with a smile.

When Shi Zhimen heard this, he felt that Chen Guan must have an extraordinary background and was a young master who came here to train and gild himself.

Shi Zhimen became even more enthusiastic and wanted to teach him all his riding skills and show him his unique abilities.

In the evening, the two went out to eat together again, and their relationship became even better.

The other team members also rushed over. They were the only team in the entire cafeteria that had such a full group of members. The other team members were usually away in the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm to carry out missions or practice training. How could they come back for three meals a day? Only their team had so much free time to gather together.

This time, Chen Guan used his Paradise meal card to order a lot of dishes and invited Shi Zhimen and others to have dinner together.

He had to find a way to get these people to complete the mission with him. After all, he was not invincible yet. It would be bad if something went wrong. It would be best to have someone to act with him.

But today Chen Guan didn't say anything, he just invited them to dinner and talked nonsense, and everyone was very happy.

The next morning, the clerk came to convey the appointment, and Chen Guan took over the position of team leader of Team 17.

Shi Zhimen, Ning Changbu and other teammates did not find it strange. Ning Changbu and the others were not fools. Although they had not seen the Heaven Meal Card like Shi Zhimen, they also knew that Chen Guan must have connections there, otherwise how could a newcomer become a team leader as soon as he arrived.

But most people don’t think that Chen Guan’s connections are that strong, otherwise why would he come to Team 17 to be the team leader.

"Congratulations, Captain Chen." The clerk chatted with Chen Guan, declined Chen Guan's invitation to stay for dinner, and then left.

Shi Zhimen, Bu Changning and others came up to congratulate Chen Guan on taking over as team leader, but their words were somewhat insincere.

In fact, Shi Zhimen also wanted to be the team leader. After all, the team leader's treatment was better than that of ordinary team members, and the reward for completing the task was much more than that of ordinary team members.

But since Chen Guan was the one in charge, he had no objection. After all, he still wanted to rely on Chen Guan in the future.

"Since I am the captain, we should be grateful." Chen Guan said with a smile.

Everyone thought that Chen Guan was going to treat them to a meal, and they were very happy, and they all started to cheer and applaud.

"How about this, let's go to Nanshan and kill some Yellow Springs ghost soldiers to liven up the atmosphere. Just think of it as a team-building trip. When we come back, we'll have a big meal to celebrate." As soon as Chen Guan said this, the applause stopped immediately, and everyone looked at Chen Guan in a daze.

"If everyone is silent, that means no one has any objection. So don't just stand there, let's get going now. Go quickly and come back quickly so we can celebrate in the evening." Chen Guan said as he walked out first.

No one moved, and Chen Guan didn't look back. He walked outside on his own, put on his armor and hung his gun, summoned the Zhaoye Lion Horse, and climbed onto the horse.

"What are you all standing there for? Put on your armor and get on your horses." Shi Zhimen gritted his teeth and shouted to everyone, pulling and tugging at the team members to get out quickly.

Although everyone was reluctant, they knew that Chen Guan had a background and Shi Zhimen was protecting him so much, so they guessed that Chen Guan must have a meaningful background and did not dare to offend him, so they had to reluctantly put on their armor and mount their horses.

After everyone gathered, Shi Zhimen first asked them to line up and count, and then reported to Chen Guan: "Captain, the total number of people in Team 17 is 11, and there are actually 11 people present. Please give your instructions, Captain."

"Very good, let's go to the blessed land of Beimang Mountain." Chen Guan took the lead and walked in front.

Although Bu Changning and the others were reluctant, they had to follow Chen Guan. After all, Chen Guan was already the team leader. If they disobeyed discipline, it would certainly make Chen Guan lose face and make his superiors look down on him, but they were also afraid that they would be kicked out of the reserve team.

They are still just reserve members and have not officially joined the Heavenly Army, so it is not difficult to kick them out.
