It was the team led by the Shield Man from earlier.

In Chen Feng's eyes, Bearded Uncle seemed easygoing and willing to stand up for justice and help students.

The team he belonged to should be pretty good, at least far more trustworthy than the unfamiliar ones.

Chen Feng passed through the crowd and headed toward the tables and chairs.

But just as he approached, Chen Feng saw another team walking over and passing by Bearded Uncle's group.

Bearded Uncle had been waiting for someone. When he spotted the person he was waiting for in another team, he froze.

He looked at a middle-aged man in that team and asked in surprise, "Zhou Heng, why are you in Gong Shi's team? Didn't you promise to join ours?"

The man at the head of the team was Gong Shi, their captain. Hearing this, he smiled. "Zhu Wei, I'm really sorry, but Zhou Heng is our teammate now!"

Zhou Heng avoided their gazes, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Bearded Uncle's expression darkened as he snapped, "Zhou Heng, did they offer better profit shares and benefits, so they poached you?"

"Um..." The middle-aged man didn't know what to say, his face awkward.

Bearded Uncle said, "Since you'd already decided to join his team, why did you agree to join ours? We've been waiting for you here, and we're about to set out. Where are we supposed to find another teammate with strength equal to yours now?"

Bearded Uncle was furious!

Captain Gong Shi smiled. "What's the big deal? Our team offers better benefits. The value of the materials we get from each hunt is several times that of your team's. What's wrong with him switching to our team?"

"Hmph! Going back on your word—if you can't keep a promise, don't make one!"

A little girl beside them rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You said it so nicely before. We agreed to meet here today and discuss the specific plans, but now that you see their benefits are better, you're going with them. Uncle Zhou Heng, that's really unfair of you, isn't it?"

Zhou Heng looked ashamed, not knowing how to face Bearded Uncle's team. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My family needs money. Their team offers higher returns, so I..."

Zhu Tao said indignantly, "Then you should have joined their team from the start! You clearly promised us, but then their team poached you. You have no integrity!"

The Shield Man, Bearded Uncle, shook his head. "Even if you wanted to switch teams, you could have told us. Would we have made things difficult for you? We agreed to meet here today, yet you left without saying a word... Sigh, forget it. Everyone has their own ambitions. Their benefits are indeed better than ours, so you don't need to explain anything."

Bearded Uncle sighed, while Captain Gong Shi smiled. "Zhou Heng, don't pay attention to these people. How much money could you make by following them?

Who comes out here these days without doing it for money? You don't need to feel bad about it. This is normal. Let's go. We'll get ready, and once everyone has gathered, we'll set off!"

Gong Shi swaggered off with his team.

Zhu Tao stamped her feet in anger. "That's so dishonest! How can anyone behave like that?

Honestly, we would've been better off finding someone else earlier. Where are we supposed to find a teammate now? And teammates as strong as him already belong to other teams. Looks like our operation is going to fall through this time! So annoying! I hate people who don't keep their word the most."

Bearded Uncle sighed helplessly. "Forget it. Their team offers better shares, and every one of them is strong. The materials they bring back from each hunt are worth a fortune. How could those strong people resist being recruited by them? Gong Shi probably poached him. There's nothing we can do about that. The problem now is that it's too hard to find a suitable teammate. I don't even know how to explain this to the others."

"Don't worry, Brother. We'll find someone eventually. Take it slow. There are so many people here—I refuse to believe we can't find anyone."

Zhu Tao pouted. "Someone like that joining our team might not have been a good thing. If we encountered danger, he might have been the first one to run. Maybe him leaving isn't such a bad thing."

"Hehe."

Bearded Uncle chuckled, but in truth, they really were in a bind. Finding a teammate was not that simple.

Just then, he spotted Chen Feng walking over.

"Oh? Little brother, have you finished registering?" Bearded Uncle smiled.

"Mm!" Chen Feng nodded and said with a smile, "Does your team need another member? I want to join!"

The little girl beside him, Zhu Tao, froze. Her bright, watery eyes stared at Chen Feng as she wondered, Who is this guy?

Zhu Tao's little face reddened. "How strong are you? If you're too weak, having you join our team will affect the efficiency of this hunt."

Zhu Tao spoke very bluntly. Bearded Uncle looked awkward and laughed. "Haha, little brother, let me introduce you. This is my younger sister, Zhu Tao. Zhu Tao, watch how you speak. That's rude."

Zhu Tao stuck out her little tongue.

"Hello, I'm Chen Feng. Nice to meet you." Chen Feng greeted the little girl.

Seeing Chen Feng's smiling face up close, Zhu Tao thought, He's handsome, too?

She lowered her head, seemingly too embarrassed to look at Chen Feng. After thinking for a moment, she didn't say anything.

Bearded Uncle smiled. "Little brother, my sister is just like this. She's still immature. I hope you won't mind."

"Who's immature? I was angry just now." Zhu Tao pinched Bearded Uncle's arm from beside him.

Bearded Uncle was thick-skinned and didn't feel a thing. He smiled and asked, "Little brother, do you really want to enter the hunting zone with us?"

"Yes."

Chen Feng nodded.

Bearded Uncle explained, "Uh... little brother, we plan to venture deep into the hunting zone this time and see if we can find powerful demon beasts to hunt. It's too dangerous for you to risk your life with us..."

Chen Feng smiled. "Uncle! I'm actually pretty strong."

Hearing that, Bearded Uncle smiled.

Entering the ferocious beast zone meant gambling with one's life. Without sufficient strength, the only outcome would be death. If that happened, he would be responsible for getting someone killed. Bearded Uncle understood that clearly.

Chen Feng glanced at Zhu Tao as if puzzled. Bearded Uncle smiled and explained, "Zhu Tao handles logistics. She's responsible for cleanup and transportation vehicles. She's been following me since she was little and never went to school. Though she's young and not very strong, she has spent years going in and out of the hunting zone, so she has plenty of experience. Usually, a team only has one logistics worker."

"However, if you truly have the determination, we can follow the usual procedure and judge by strength."

In Bearded Uncle's eyes, Chen Feng was still a student fresh out of the gate. His strength was surely insufficient for following them into the dangerous depths of the forest. If they failed to look after him when the time came, Bearded Uncle did not want a tragedy to occur.

As captain, he had to be responsible for his teammates.

"Sure, no problem. Everything should be decided by strength. If I don't meet the team's requirements, I naturally won't force the issue."

Chen Feng took out his information badge.

Bearded Uncle nodded and scanned it. "Little brother, if you don't qualify, there's nothing I can do."

As the electronic device scanned, Chen Feng's personal information appeared on the screen.

Hm? This... When Bearded Uncle saw the information, his pupils suddenly contracted. Then he stared fixedly at Chen Feng, his eyes filled with disbelief!
