On the dinner table, there were four meat dishes, twelve vegetable dishes, and three soups.

In the other pot, a large pot of rice was steamed, enough for twenty people.

When it was her first time cooking for the Hope, after hearing Moore say that Su Mo had a terrifying appetite, Shen Ke wasn't afraid of being tired and prepared a huge feast.

Seeing so many dishes, Su Mo thought for a moment and then opened the panel to call over Captains Lu Yongyi and Zhang Long. The fourteen people sat neatly around a round table.

"Master, the Psionic Water that Moore took is the un-upgraded version!"

Seeing Moore's fearful and evasive eyes, and his dramatic little gestures, Su Mo smiled, and everyone sitting down burst into laughter.

Moore was relieved and sat down obediently, his eyes darting around.

"Alright, let's eat. No need for formalities. Cheers to our survival!"

"Cheers!"

"."

The battle was over, and they didn't skimp on the Su Mo meal. There was no liquor, but everyone had two cans of chilled beer in front of them.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the relaxation of inhibitions, the meal was devoured in a flash.

Shen Ke's superb culinary skills, the allure of the Psionic Water, and a wide variety of seasonings make every dish incredibly delicious and perfect with rice.

When the rice in the pot was all gone, there were still a few dishes left on the table that hadn't been eaten.

With these dishes and beer in hand, and seeing Su Mo pause for a moment, everyone immediately sat up straight and coughed twice.

"I plan to recruit a group of survivors with special talents from the fleet and take them to the New Continent. Are there any of you who want to come along?"

Whoosh! No sooner had the words left his mouth than a captain gripped his beer can tightly, making a crackling sound.

Those nearby were also oblivious to the noise, their faces bearing almost identical expressions of astonishment and deep thought! Holy crap!

Su God's team is recruiting?! We can go if we want?!

You should know that on the way to this meal, everyone was joking with each other, thinking about how to Su God's team and go to the New Continent to make a name for themselves.

At the time, although everyone said that, they didn't really have any intention of joining.

After all, compared to Su God's current strength, their individual additions would not provide any help; on the contrary, they would only provide another mouth to feed.

However, hearing Su Mo say this now... the surprise came too fast, and everyone felt dizzy in an instant!

"Hmm? Everyone wants to go to the deep sea, is that so?"

"No, Su God, I'll go with you!"

"I'll go too."

"Wow!"

Whoosh! Almost without hesitation, everyone except Lu Yongyi raised their hands!

Even Zhang Long, Liu Neng, and others stood up excitedly!

They were the captains who held high positions in the fleet.

He usually manages the daily lives of hundreds of people and also owns a large ship.

But at this moment, they had no nostalgia for their past achievements; their eyes were filled with fervor!

New Continent? No problem! Is there anywhere in the world safer than Su God's place? Sitting to the side, seeing this lively scene, Lu Yongyi chuckled, "Really? You all want to go?"

"Go, of course I'll go, Chief Lu. I'm entrusting my ship to you."

"By the way, Su God, can we bring our families with us if we go with you?"

Zhang Long was completely oblivious to this "betrayal." He first replied with a grin, then answered sheepishly.

Su Mo nodded. "Sure, one person can bring three people on board. For example, if you have many family members, you can discuss exchanging places with others. Anyway, three places per person is no problem at all."

A fighting force formed by families is much stronger than that of a lone wolf, and their loyalty to the shelter is also much higher.

This was proven true in Hope Village! "That's enough, that's enough! We can't take so many people. Our relatives will go with us!"

"Director Su, I wonder what type of person with this special talent needs!"

"Director Su, I have a cousin who works at the research institute. I heard he's doing research on batteries. I wonder if that counts as a special talent!"

"."

One after another, everyone chimed in, and the previously cryptic Su God instantly became Su Su.

This change left Lu Yongyi speechless, but it brought a bright smile to Shen Ke's face, who was sitting to the side.

"No rush. I'll release some detailed rules later. Tonight, I'll start the first round of recruitment. You guys stay behind and brainstorm to see what kind of talent we need to build our territory!"

Su Mo was completely at ease with Lu Yongyi's team, and issued his first order while smiling.

The weak are not fit to be lords.

Powerful people are born with followers.

Before he had fully developed his abilities, Su Mo was filled with resistance towards these "strangers".

But once his strength reached a certain level, his actions began to resemble those of a true powerhouse! 7 PM.

The rising sun gradually sank below the horizon, while the moon quietly climbed into the sky, radiating its light.

In the waters of the Tundra Fleet, none of the ships moved for a whole day.

With the large ship anchored, all the Raft Ferry were also firmly controlled on the sea.

But tonight, compared to other places, the atmosphere on these ferries gradually turned into a festive one, like the Lunar New Year.

Starting around 5 a. m., as more and more people woke up from their sleep.

Then they received some good news:

Celebration dinner!

For the banquet supplies, the fleet will take 50% from the communal crates, Su God will contribute 20%, and the others will only need to take 30% of the supplies to eat their fill! Furthermore, Su God will also launch an unprecedented crew recruitment drive at the banquet!

Upon hearing this news, everyone went wild, and they reported their specialties and abilities to their superiors as required.

They jumped into the seawater to wash their hair and bathe, and then used the precious fresh water to wipe their bodies.

Some people even "spent a huge sum of money" to buy a new set of clothes at the market and solemnly put them on.

Currently, there are still 160,000 survivors in the Tundra Fleet! Although they know that Su God cannot take so many people with him, according to the rules issued, at least more than half of them have a chance!

7:50.

There was one and a half hours before the celebration dinner began.

Looking at the ten captains sitting below, hurriedly sorting out the personnel lists submitted by the squad leaders below, Su Mo was not idle either. He walked over and picked up a few to start reviewing them.

"Zhao Yangbo, 39 years old, a master repairman at Sanlu Mechanical Factory, is skilled in maintaining all kinds of machinery. He has a reverential faith in repairing machinery, and his life motto is: 'If it doesn't break, repair it to the point of exhaustion.'"

Qi Tongwei, 41 years old, is a professional chess player, skilled in Chinese chess, Go, Gomoku, checkers, etc., nicknamed "Defying Heaven by Half a Move".

"Xing Qu, 48 years old, is a national-level master chef and a top-notch Sichuan cuisine chef. He has served as executive chef in seven five-star hotels, and his culinary skills are superb."

Xia Nianzhen, 33 years old, PhD graduate from Tsinghua, has published 19 SCI-indexed papers, with a high number of core journal articles. Her research focuses on artificial intelligence algorithms (AI).

Peng Wenshan, 39 years old, is a first-level researcher at Chengfei Group. He has unique insights into flight dynamics and airframe manufacturing. His specialty is hand-crafting helicopters.

"."

After scanning the entire page and reading through the more than thirty names recorded, Su Mo was immediately startled.

These people all possess extraordinary talents.

They have all made achievements in their respective fields that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Aside from skills like chess, fishing, and street dance, which aren't very useful in the wasteland, most of them can be considered elites among humans.

"Director Su, this is a list of the top performers we've compiled. Look down this stack of papers; the ranking decreases in order."

"We've created a tiered system based on the potential and ability values we brainstormed earlier."

"The people on this piece of paper you are holding are all S-level talents; out of hundreds of thousands of people, there are only about thirty of them!"

Seemingly noticing Su Mo's surprise, Zhang Long stood up and explained a few words, while also picking up the blank paper below that recorded the A-level talents.

The person who took the notes on this sheet is clearly much weaker than the one on the previous sheet.

Although most people have various skills, they are basically at a level that can be reached with effort.

Compared to ordinary people, they are more dedicated to their studies and their skills are more refined.

In terms of numbers, there are far more A-level talents, a full 129! "We planned to take 1,500 people with us, but in reality, we can't recruit that many at all. Even combining SAB Talent, we only have about 400 people."

"Moreover, these people usually have one or two family members, so the total number is at most no more than seven hundred!"

"As for Tier C talents, there are quite a few, a full 2,000 people, but most of them have families with them. If we want to take one, we have to take five or six with us, so..."

"The general consensus is that we should leave some seeds for the Tundra Fleet, otherwise if we take them all, they won't be able to survive in the deep sea!"

Scratching his head, Zhang Long explained in a serious and methodical manner.

Unlike Chen Shen, Zhang Long is particularly good at data-related work and can talk about it very fluently.

If this were a company on Earth, Chen Shen's actions would resemble those of a marketing manager, while Zhang Long would be the head of human resources.

He knew it would be difficult for Su Mo to make the decision of who to take and who to abandon, so he "took matters into his own hands" and completed the first selection.

"Very good, that's very well thought out, let's do it this way!"

"However, for these people, we need to strictly verify their qualifications and the authenticity of the data they submit. I don't want to see people who are just putting on a show."

"Do everything according to the rules!"

Having capable subordinates, Su Mo was happy to delegate authority.

Although they are both leaders, his style of doing things is completely different from Lu Yongyi's.

Lu Yongyi is very cautious. His sense of security comes from his hands-on approach to everything and his precise control over every subordinate and every piece of data.

He would strictly control the thoughts of his subordinates, gradually making everyone develop the same style as him, in order to achieve the concentration of power.

While Su Mo is more cautious, his sense of security is completely opposite to Lu Yongyi's, and comes only from the positive growth of his strength!

In a group, as long as everyone can see hope for the future and everyone's life gets better and better.

In such an environment, betrayal is virtually impossible!

In this process, as long as power is appropriately delegated and suppressed, so that each manager can check and balance each other, corruption can be prevented.

This kind of mastery was far more intuitive and easier than Lu Yongyi's! He strode back to the Captain's Cabin, and for the first time ever, without any fighting, Su Mo donned his imposing Lamellar Armor.

No one knew what this banquet represented, but sitting in the conference room on the second floor, looking down at the survivors who were hurriedly preparing, Su Mo sighed deeply, "A thousand people!"

"To build a super fortress for humanity on the New Continent with such a small number of people, that's really something."

"A game on hell difficulty!"
