Recruiting Students
There was still some time before Skyspan Academy officially opened, and new student registrations were past their peak. Right now, most of the students were looking to join new student societies, or they were looking to find a good society to join.
Ye Zichen sat with his straw hat against a tree trunk in a rather shabby looking society recruitment office under the shade of a tree.
"Achoo."
Ye Zichen rubbed his nose, then lifted his straw hat.
"Who's badmouthing me behind my back?"
Ye Zichen's life had been miserable over the past few days. Recruiting wasn't something just anyone could do. It didn't matter how strong or talented the new students were; as long as they were alive, countless factions would fight over them.
In the first few days, he'd been able to swindle a few newcomers, but now they'd all learned their lesson.
All of them were waiting for the right price, and would join whichever society offered the most benefits.
Ye Zichen wasn't the type to take the initiative, so few people showed up at his booth.
"I've really fallen into a trap."
Ye Zichen leaned against the tree and lowered his head. He never would've guessed Xue Mo would play tricks on him.
It was impossible for him to break the contract. He could feel that there was a law restricting him.
But it was strange. Based on what Ye Zichen learned, Anti-Upheaval used to be the strongest student society in Skyspan Academy. At its peak, even if the other top five student societies joined forces, they'd find it difficult to shake their position.
Although some changes had occurred, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
Why was it that as soon as they saw Anti-Upheaval's recruitment booth, they scurried away as if they'd seen the plague?
"I don't get it."
Ye Zichen pulled his hat off, then leaned back against the tree to take a nap.
This was how he'd been for the past few days. He'd come early in the morning to recruit new students, then slept until the wee hours of the morning, then went back to sleep. As for the results of the past few days ….
Nothing!
Rustle ….
Ye Zichen's ears twitched. At his level, he could hear even the smallest sound.
Just now, he'd clearly heard someone approaching.
He lifted his hat, and as expected, there really was someone standing in front of him. He recognized this person: it was Bao Jingwu, the one who'd shamelessly tried to recruit him.
"Captain Bao, how did you find the time to come visit?"
Ye Zichen patted the dust off his face and stood up.
"The relationship between our two families isn't too harmonious. If that big sister from your Sixth Regiment sees this, you won't have a good time."
Bao Jingwu rubbed his hands and smiled coyly at Ye Zichen, "Brother Ye, I'll cut to the chase. Actually, I came here … because Platoon Leader Sun told me to."
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows, "She told you to come?"
Bao Jingwu nodded and said, "Our leader told me to ask you if you're interested in joining the Grizzly Bear Regiment. As long as you come, she can promise to give you the position of vice-captain, as well as the benefits that only Sky Supremes can enjoy. "
"Whoa."
Ye Zichen could tell from Bao Jingwu's eyes that he was actually rather jealous.
Speaking of which, it made sense. A new student like him, who hadn't made any contributions to the team, would be directly promoted to Vice Team Leader and enjoy the benefits of a Heavenly Supreme.
Anyone would be jealous if they were in his shoes.
However, Ye Zichen couldn't understand why Sun Jialing would do that.
Was it because she wanted to fight Xue Mo?
If that was the case, battles between women were truly terrifying.
Her offer was tempting, but Ye Zichen had already joined Anti-Upheaval, so he could only refuse.
"I'm sorry, but I've joined Anti-Upheaval." With that, he flashed his emblem.
Anti-Upheaval's emblem was a dove. Ye Zichen had asked Chen Guangfa why he'd chosen it, but he'd said that Anti-Upheaval's mission was to pacify war, and the dove represented peace.
Bao Jingwu's eyes flashed with a hint of anxiety. "Brother Ye, even if you join, you can still leave. Anti-Upheaval is a thing of the past. Our Grizzly Bear Society is the strongest society in the academy. You won't regret joining us, so come on! "
"I'm not going." Ye Zichen shrugged.
"Brother Ye!" To his surprise, Bao Jingwu grabbed Ye Zichen's arm and looked like he was about to cry. "I'm begging you! Platoon Leader Sun gave me an absolute order to recruit you into our society. If you don't come, I won't be able to keep my position. I might even have to expel the Grizzly Bear Society. "
"Isn't that perfect? Why don't you just join me?"
Ye Zichen patted Bao Jingwu on the shoulder and welcomed him warmly.
"Hurry up and leave. Join our Anti-Upheaval Society. Forget about being a squad leader, I'll even make you a squad leader. Besides, think about it …. Although Anti-Upheaval has fallen from grace, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. At the end of the day, our society still has more resources than other societies. "
"The Grizzly Bear Society's momentum is indeed fierce. We have a lot of resources, but we have a lot of people, right? No matter how many resources we have, if we split them evenly among everyone, how much would there be? Join me, on the other hand, is different. We only have a few people, so you'll definitely get more resources than the Grizzly Bear Society. "
"Think about it. When you get home or meet your friends, Anti-Upheaval's squad leader title will sound better than Grizzly Bear Society's, won't it?"
Inexplicably, Bao Jingwu's expression softened. Ye Zichen adhered to the principle of dragging one down with him if he could ….
"Join me! The benefits will be unimaginable!"
"Little bro, I asked him to recruit you. I didn't ask you to recruit him."
At that moment, a delicate fragrance wafted through the air.
Ye Zichen looked in the direction of the fragrance and saw Sun Jialing swaying her hips as she walked past.
She was absolutely a stunner.
Whether it was her figure, her looks, or her gaze, she could make countless men fall to their knees. As she walked, who knew how many men stared at her?
By now, she'd clearly recovered from her panic. She fiddled with her hair, pursed her lips, and stood less than half a meter away from Ye Zichen. Bao Jingwu greeted her.
"Platoon Leader."
"Bao Jingwu, you're really something. If I hadn't come, would you have really left the society?" Sun Jialing crossed her arms and smiled at Bao Jingwu. "And to think I cared so much about you."
"Platoon Leader, I …."
"What about you?" Su Jialing said harshly. After scolding Bao Jingwu, she turned to Ye Zichen and said, "Little bro, it's immoral of you to poach my people."
"Then is it immoral of you to poach me?"
"I just told him to tell me the truth. If you join me, you'll gain far more than if you joined Anti-Upheaval. Besides, does poaching people count as poaching? "
