However, those who could learn the secret techniques of the Holy Land had natural endowments, miraculous encounters, and power. At the same time, their backgrounds were in line with the interests of the Holy Land. Most of them were Heavenly Souls, and it was not easy for them to encounter a Heroic Soul opponent like the Wolf King.
"After witnessing your power, I'm relieved. It's not bad for Hyde to be with you." Alexander smiled. He was neither humble nor arrogant. "We dimensional people actually hope to integrate with everyone. However, the family system in the Federation is too stubborn, and some ancient families in the Holy Land think too highly of themselves." Alexander smiled and did not show any signs of modesty or arrogance.
From his words, it was obvious that he had the intention to cooperate with the Wanderlust Team. This would definitely be beneficial to the development of the Wanderlust Team.
"That system is no longer in line with the times. It will eventually be replaced." Wang Zhong smiled.
Frankly speaking, these words were a little arrogant. A Heroic Soul dared to point out and comment on the structure and era of the Holy City. However, when Wolf King Alexander heard this, he did not feel arrogant at all. He did not feel that it was an exaggeration either. Those who were powerful naturally had the right to say anything. "You are the first person who has achieved such power without cultivating the top profound meaning of the Holy Land."
The somewhat jumpy conversation seemed irrelevant, but it conveyed a kind of intention to each other. Both of them were the kind of people with exquisite minds, so they could easily understand the various hidden meanings in each other's words.
Cooperation and mutual respect were all built on equal strength. Complimenting and acknowledging Wang Zhong's strength was undoubtedly a sign that they had reached an agreement to cooperate. In the Holy Battle, the higher-ups required all exploration teams to cooperate sincerely, but in reality, the distribution of resources and benefits was uneven. If they could not trust each other, how could they leave their backs to the other party?
A preliminary cooperation was also a good thing for the Wanderlust Team.
As for Hyde, he was ultimately a dimensional human. Alexander did not care whether he worked for the Wanderlust Team or the Seekers. This was just a stop in his journey as a Heroic Soul Holy Disciple. Once he became a Heavenly Soul, Hyde would eventually return to the embrace of the dimensional humans.
Thus, Alexander cared about Hyde's future development. If Wang Zhong did not have the ability to give Hyde enough space to develop, he would not allow Hyde to stay in the Wanderlust Team. On the contrary, since Wang Zhong had that kind of ability, it wasn't a big deal for Hyde to spend the rest of his time at the Heroic Soul Stage.
"I'm a little curious." Wang Zhong did not delve too deeply into the topic of cooperation. Instead, he smiled and changed the topic. "Why did you guys only arrive now?"
He was referring to the exploration team leaders who were meeting at the Sacred Teacher's residence today.
"Core members like us actually have a lot of autonomy in the Holy City, and we don't lack training opportunities and cultivation resources. We originally didn't plan to participate in this Holy Battle, but it seems like things aren't going that smoothly. Reinforcements of all levels are needed. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been called here at the last minute."
When he said this, Alexander paused and slowly said, "You have to be careful of Red Widow Faith Kelly. The fellow whose head you exploded in the bar is one of her lovers. This woman is vicious and merciless, and she plucks feathers from every goose that passes by. She has many tricks and is unscrupulous, making it impossible for people to guard against her. Anyone who provokes her will definitely not have a good ending. Don't count on the higher-ups either. We are also core members who are being nurtured. The Holy Land will not care about our life and death battles. They will even add fuel to the fire. This is because true experts can only be born through competition!"
Red Widow Faith Kelly. Wang Zhong had seen her in Sacred Teacher Leyson's hall. Her bewitching aura, coupled with her outstanding reputation in the Holy City, was still fresh in Wang Zhong's memory. "Thank you for reminding me."
If this was in the past, Wang Zhong might have been worried. He was not worried that Red Widow would do anything to him. Instead, he was worried that when he was not in the exploration team, incidents like Sharmie and Mario would happen again. But now … he hoped that he would not find trouble for himself. This was because … he was afraid of himself!
He still had some misgivings when he went crazy. However, Mu Zi and Mo Wen did not care about this, while Mu Zi had a powerful background. He would be thanking the heavens if he did not find trouble with them. Furthermore, with the help of Hyde, Vladimir, Scarlet, and the others, he would mourn for his opponents for three minutes. Of course, the Wolf King's reminder was very necessary. It was very annoying to be scheming and not being careful.
The Wanderlust Team was probably the most loosely managed among the Holy Disciples exploration teams.
While the members of other large exploration teams enjoyed the various benefits of the exploration team, they also had to accept various assignments from the exploration team at any time. However, the Wanderlust Team did not have such restrictions. Recently, they had developed rapidly and accepted many missions. They were financially free, and the benefits of the team were getting better day by day. However, there were no clear rules on the requirements of the members of the exploration team. They still followed the style of when there were only a few people in the exploration team. All team missions were voluntary. If they did not want to go, they could casually ask for leave from the manager.
Frankly speaking, this kind of 'freedom' was not suitable. It was an imperfection in the system.
When there were not many members in the exploration team, they did not feel this way. After all, they were familiar with each other and were close friends. If there were really people who asked for leave and did not participate in missions, it was definitely a very special situation. Everyone understood and thus did not force any rules. Everyone would enjoy the usual team benefits.
However, as the exploration team's reputation continued to expand and the number of members continued to increase, there were already some old scoundrels who sneaked into the exploration team and only took the guaranteed benefits without doing anything. Although Feng and Oscar, who were in charge of management, could directly fire them, this method would not solve the root of the problem. Furthermore, it would easily lead to complaints. Those who were fired were likely to harbor resentment and go out to ruin the exploration team's reputation. Therefore, the Wanderlust Team urgently needed a set of effective team rules. Thus, on one hand, they referred to the experience of the rules of the various large exploration teams, and on the other hand, they formulated some new rules based on the special situation of the Wanderlust Team. After all, there were all kinds of people here. Almost half of the people here were dimensional humans and people from the Federation. There were even a small number of alien races who came because of the dimensional humans.
This was the first exploration team in the Holy Disciples Hostel with such a hodgepodge. This was not an easy task. Although they were all humans, the habits of different races were completely different. Force could not solve these problems, and they had to establish rules. It was obviously difficult to perfect the team rules with just Lao Wang and Oscar, the captain and the vice-captain. Lao Wang was not good at this, and Oscar was not much better. If not, the Wanderlust Team would not have been so close to being wiped out.
There were seven people sitting in the small room. This was the first time such a formal meeting had been held since the establishment of the team. In addition to discussing the team rules, everyone also reported on the recent work of the exploration team.
The current management distribution of the exploration team was relatively simple. Wang Zhong was the captain, so he was naturally the decision-maker. When he was not around, Oscar, the honorary vice-captain, would take over the responsibilities of the captain. Feng was the chief butler and was in charge of the finances of the Wanderlust Team, as well as the distribution of resources. Below her, there were three small teams to manage the team members.
Hyde was the captain of the first team, and the members of the team were all dimensional humans. Needless to say, the talents and combat power of the dimensional humans were obvious. Their cohesiveness and obedience were also very high, and their strength was definitely not ordinary. At the same time, this was also an opportunity for dimensional humans to integrate with other races.
The captain of the second team was Vladimir, and Noraba was the vice-captain. Naturally, he was from the Federation and had the power of the Vasilyevich Family. Although they were not strong enough, they still had considerable influence in the Heroic Soul Stage. At the same time, the Vasilyevich Family in the Federation had also begun to cooperate with the New World. Vladimir might be 'willful', but his family saw another hope.
The captain of the third team was Small Eyes, and they were the reserve team of the Wanderlust Team. The main members were the old members who still wanted to do things their own way, as well as some newcomers with uncertain abilities or those who were not that strong. Small Eyes was indeed not that strong, but she was an old member of the Wanderlust Team. Everyone went through trials and tribulations together, and she had a straightforward personality. She was very suitable for this role, and Napier was also one of them.
In addition, the Wanderlust Team also had a few special people who could be considered guests. They were independent, free, and could enjoy special treatment without having to bear any responsibilities. They were Grai, Mu Zi, Mo Wen, and Mo Xingchen. This was Wang Zhong's special request.
These four people did not attend today's meeting. Grai was missing, and the other three were even busier.
Mo Wen and Mo Xingchen were hardly seen during this period, and they even brought along Napier, their follower. Although they were newcomers, the Mo Family seemed to have a very special status and reputation in the Holy City. They had good relationships with many ancient families in the Holy City. It would have been fine if they did not come, but since they were here, they had to show the necessary etiquette. At the same time, Mo Wen and Mo Xingchen had to spend time familiarizing themselves with the system and information of the Holy Land. Obviously, both of them were specially selected and could freely travel between the base and the Holy Land. Furthermore, the key was that they did not lack Holy Coins. This was something that outsiders could not compare to. Of course, Mo Wen and Mo Xingchen would not take advantage of the Wanderlust Team. To be honest, Wang Zhong was really not afraid that they would.
As for Mu Zi, he was too casual. In the beginning, he was still actively going on missions with the exploration team and was rewarded for his diligence. He was definitely an outstanding comrade, but ever since he entered the library, he seemed to have lost his soul and stayed in the library every day. The library was a huge spending pit … Previously, Mu Zi had earned a lot of money when he went on missions with the exploration team, but he did not care about money. Anyway, he was staying with the exploration team, so he did not keep the money he earned and just handed it over to the exploration team as team fees.
Back then, Feng was very moved by Mu Zi's mindset. She patted her chest and said that the Wanderlust Team would cover all of Mu Zi's expenses in the Holy City in the future. But now, when she saw Mu Zi's bills in the library every day, Feng felt like she was going to have a heart attack.
He did not rent books that were particularly expensive and only read basic knowledge. A single book was actually not expensive, but he had a lot of them. He could rent 20 to 30 books a day for books like "The Basics of Teleportation" that cost about ten Holy Coins each. This was only under normal circumstances. If he read faster on a certain day, forty to fifty books might not even be enough for him.
Feng really wanted to ask, "Are you reading books or flipping through books? Even computers aren't as fast as your memory! " He could rent a few hundred Holy Coins a day, and occasionally, he would encounter slightly more expensive books that cost more than a thousand Holy Coins. The Wanderlust Team was now a large organization with four teams taking turns to complete missions. The success rate was also high, and the team funds were sufficient. However, they could not afford to spend money like this. Feng felt that the team funds were becoming more and more difficult to make ends meet. Fortunately, Wang Zhong came back in time and even brought back the corpse of a Sword Saint. He reported a large sum of money to the Exploration Team Department. Otherwise, it would be a huge joke if the Wanderlust Team, which had been in the limelight recently, had a financial crisis.
Wang Zhong had no objection to spending money. No matter what Mu Zi wanted to do, he would obviously fully support him, not to mention that it was just spending some money. When they first arrived at the battlefield, Wang Zhong and Scarlet could tell that Mu Zi was very interested in all kinds of knowledge about the Holy Land, such as teleportation arrays and airships. Now that he had the opportunity to come into contact with such knowledge, he was naturally itchy. As for Mu Zi's cultivation direction being different from his, Wang Zhong was not stupid enough to give Mu Zi any pointers. Even at Aiolos's level, he rarely commented on Mu Zi and Wang Zhong. Aiolos had always believed that Mu Zi and Wang Zhong would surpass him in the future. The three of them were all lonely cultivators on the path of cultivation and did not need to repeat the path of others. They might encounter many difficulties, fail, or even perish, but this was fate. Once they broke through, no one could compare to them.
"We've been too lenient when accepting people. Although this method can quickly strengthen the exploration team, it also causes countless problems. I think we can introduce the recommendation system of those large exploration teams and strictly control the number of people we accept …"
As Feng Zheng spoke, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door anxiously.
Everyone was a little unhappy that the meeting was interrupted, but the anxious voice of the person outside the door made everyone's expression turn slightly solemn.
"Captain, Captain! There's news of Grai! The messenger is in the hall and is clamoring to see you! "
It had been almost half a month since Wang Zhong announced the mission in the Wanderlust Team. They had heard a lot of fake news, but there was really no one who dared to come to the Wanderlust Team to see Wang Zhong directly to receive the reward.
The messenger was a girl who claimed to be from the Kama Exploration Team. Their exploration team had just returned from a mission at the Warrendoor Mountains. The girl said that she had seen Grai on the battlefield at the front line.
"Don't worry. He's such a handsome guy. I definitely won't mistake him. Look, I even took a photo with him!" This girl was very beautiful and looked very young. She had two ponytails and had an innocent and infatuated look on her face. She pulled out a photo from her Skylink. It was a selfie she had taken outside a barracks at the frontlines of Warendoor. Coincidentally, Grai's figure appeared in the background. He even subconsciously glanced at the camera with a lonely look on his face.
"Did you talk to him?" Wang Zhong stared into the girl's eyes. His gaze was sharp and penetrating.
"No." The girl shook her head. The girl shook her head. "I only found out after looking at the photo. I felt that he was very similar to the person in the mission you guys posted at the Wanderlust Team. So, I went back to the camp and checked the roster. Indeed, there was a guy called Grai in the vanguard."
The vanguard was, in fact, a suicide squad at the frontlines. They were well paid, and even if one was not a member of the regular army, one could directly join as long as one's strength met the standard. However, almost no one was willing to sign up because they were the first to take on the most dangerous missions. After a big battle, other teams might need to calculate the casualty rate, but the vanguard didn't need to. Needless to say, all the members of the vanguard must have been replaced several times during the war. The casualty rate was in the hundreds.
