The five team leaders were all carefully considered by Qi Xu. Chinese Master Chef and the Retired Magical Boy, whether from personal affection or their own abilities, were destined to be part of management in the future, so they needed opportunities to gain experience.
Muzi Li, Coach Chen from A Swim & Fitness, and Crushed Ice Little Sheep were all strong in their own right and quite clever, making them very suitable for leading teams and managing. This was also a good chance to get to know their practical abilities.
Overall, the strength of the fifth team was a bit weaker, with only Happy Big Sister being a capable fighter. However, with Chinese Master Chef there, the floor was firmly secured. Even if they couldn't kill the monsters, they could outlast them.
Chinese Master Chef was extremely excited about becoming a captain and immediately treated his team members to a private feast...
As they ate and chatted, they had their first team-building session, instantly winning over all the team members' hearts. Everyone felt incredibly fortunate to be assigned to Chinese Master Chef's team.
It was just too friendly for their mouths and stomachs!
The other captains also had their own methods, and everyone got off to a pretty good start.
Fortune God's Only Daughter: "Huh? That's it? What about me?"
Song Peifeng: "I'm not on the list either."
War Wolf 009: "And me! (●'.'●)"
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "War Wolf 009, Watch Me Cut You Down, Breaking Cocoon into Butterfly, War Wolf Egg Seven, Fortune God's Only Daughter, War Wolf 004, Old White Dragon in the Waves, Golden Bell Armor Iron Shirt, Song Peifeng, War Wolf 008, plus me, will fully prepare for the Cross-District Challenge.
The next Cross-District Challenge is unusual. If I'm not mistaken, we might face special targeting from District 01's Qiuqiu and likely encounter quite strong opponents from District 01.
This month happens to be suitable for fighting. Let's wait a bit later to see what the dungeon content is. If there are no issues, we'll start formal team training right after coming out of the dungeon."
Everyone is quite strong; running around doing rescues would be a bit of a waste.
Actually, for the Cross-District Challenge, if suitable, Qi Xu would definitely bring Chinese Master Chef along. But it's not clear exactly how many people are needed, and there's not much coordination needed with Chinese Master Chef anyway. Once he puts up his shield, the fight's basically over; just quickly gather around him.
The coordination among the combat personnel is the most important.
War Wolf 009: "Go team, we support you, we're the best. (˃⌑˂ഃ)"
War Wolf 008: "Wow, thanks for the trust, boss!"
Watch Me Cut You Down: "Sounds thrilling, I like it."
Song Peifeng: "I like it too, looking forward to the Cross-District Joint Challenge!"
Qiuqiu watched Qi Xu's arrangements the whole time. It was impossible not to feel anxious. If we really lose the Cross-District Challenge and the boss gets stolen, wouldn't I be done for!
Thinking this, Qiuqiu understood.
The boss needs time! Needs training time! Although it's unclear what preparations S1 Qiuqiu has made, due to rules and wealth limitations, there's not much I can do...
Qiuqiu immediately discarded the prepared dungeon and started flipping through other dungeon booklets, finding one that allowed a ten-district joint event and could end quickly.
Even before midnight, the dungeon notification was issued.
[This month's dungeon is here! It is recommended that everyone participate! Qiuqiu cares for the world and pities the masses. This month's 'Peril Without Time' natural disaster is already painful enough, so of course the dungeon should be simpler.
Although it's still a joint competition across 10 districts, only individual results are counted. The district with the lowest comprehensive ranking, same old rule, you'll be the tribute offering. Please try to be more competitive.
Three-Star Dungeon 'Race Against Time'
You need to drive a vehicle from the starting point to the finish line at the fastest speed, encountering various obstacles and hindrances along the way. (Full autonomous driving systems and any driving assistance items are not allowed in this dungeon, otherwise you will be automatically judged as violating the rules.)
Boldness and carefulness are the keys to victory in this dungeon. Ranking is determined by the time taken to reach the finish line. Those who fail to reach the finish line within 24 hours will be directly eliminated. Come sign up!]
Qi Xu was taken aback. Could it be that because there was no district merger this month, they're giving out a reward-like welfare dungeon?
Qi Xu had participated in this dungeon before. It had absolutely no traps, purely the literal meaning of what Qiuqiu just said.
He encountered it early in the game too. There would be all sorts of obstacles on the road, and occasionally monsters would come to block you, but...
Back then, Qi Xu seemed to have a Level 3 vehicle and still managed to reach the finish line, ranking in the top hundred, taking less than 10 hours. With a Level 7 vehicle now... it's simply incomparable.
Qi Xu pressed the sign-up button without hesitation. The whole dungeon would be over in less than 10 hours, perfectly not wasting any time and convenient for everyone to gather for training.
Since District 01's Qiuqiu issued the threat so brazenly, it means it has the ability to make it happen. Not preparing in advance would be unwise. Having talked big, naturally one must be careful not to capsize.
Fortune God's Only Daughter was currently laughing maniacally. Having boasted for so long, I finally caught an opportunity to shine! Having read only half the dungeon notification, she hurried to the golden group chat.
"I've done this dungeon before! Super simple and boring, not a shred of difficulty. There are just some roadblocks. With our high vehicle levels, we don't even need to steer left or right, just crash right through them.
The only thing to watch out for is that each track has 20 players, so prevent their malicious attacks. Someone might cheat at the start.
But we're strong and have high vehicle levels. Participating in this dungeon is like effortlessly crushing noobs. That idiot Qiuqiu's trash dungeon, hahaha, easy to handle!"
War Wolf Egg Seven: "Wow, Sis Fortune is amazing! Your little brother is impressed, impressed."
Retired Magical Boy: "Kisses, kisses, go get 'em, treasure!"
Seeing Fortune God's Only Daughter's slander, Qiuqiu trembled all over with anger. Outrageous, outrageous, this is just too much! You idiot, what do you know about my foresight! So annoying!
Immediately unable to bear it, Qiuqiu opened a light screen and passionately started arguing with her...
The others were happy to watch the show, not intervening in the fight. Everyone needs a way to vent, right? They're all on the same side; sometimes arguing makes the bond stronger.
The Retired Magical Boy discussed with his teammates and asked in the group, "Boss, should the five of us skip the dungeon? We just set up the rescue team. If no one is around all day tomorrow, wouldn't that be inappropriate? It might affect our team's credibility."
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "Alright. When settling wages at the end, we'll calculate based on sessions. More work, more pay for everyone."
