Zhao Hu was not one to welch on a bet. Knowing he was inferior, he gritted his teeth and forced out those three words.
Though his heart was full of unwillingness, he had to admit that Qin Bo's strength was above his.
Elder Sun Yu stepped forward, looked at Zhao Hu, and said earnestly:
"Zhao Hu, failure is not terrible, what matters is learning from failure."
"Qin Bo's strength did not come overnight. You must understand that the improvement of strength lies not only in the breakthrough of realm, but also in the understanding and application of martial skills."
Zhao Hu lowered his head and replied, "Elder, your teachings are correct. Zhao Hu understands."
Elder Sun Yu then looked at Qin Bo and praised:
"Qin Bo, you performed excellently this time, and you are worthy of the position of Day Roamer. But you must not be proud and complacent. The next tasks are full of dangers, and the safety of Yunzhou City depends on you."
"Don't worry, Elder, Qin Bo will live up to his mission."
Qin Bo clasped his fists and said firmly.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
"Becoming a Day Roamer allows you to lead five to ten Demon Suppressing Guards, but considering you are a newcomer, no veteran would want to join your command."
"Fortunately, you can choose a few of these newcomers below, but it depends on their willingness."
As Elder Sun Yu spoke, he pointed to a group of Demon Suppressing Guard who had just passed the assessment standing aside.
Qin Bo looked in the direction Elder Sun Yu was pointing, and saw that these new Demon Suppressing Guard all had excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
They had just passed the assessment and were full of longing for future tasks, and also eager to follow a capable superior.
Qin Bo stepped forward, his eyes swept over everyone, and said:
"Everyone, I am Qin Bo, I believe you all know that I have just been exceptionally promoted to Day Roamer."
"This time, I can choose a few people to be my subordinates. I wonder if anyone is willing?!"
For a time, everyone below the stage looked at each other.
Although Qin Bo had just defeated Zhao Hu, they still thought in their hearts that Qin Bo was a newcomer like them.
Naturally, no one was convinced by anyone, let alone willing to be inferior to others.
Unexpectedly, while the others were silent, the first person to speak was Zhao Hu.
"Qin Bo, I, Zhao Hu, am convinced by you. I am willing to be the first to become your subordinate. I hope you can accept me!"
Zhao Hu's words shocked everyone.
No one expected that Zhao Hu, who had just lost to Qin Bo in the sparring match, would be the first to stand up and express his willingness to become Qin Bo's subordinate.
Qin Bo also looked at Zhao Hu in surprise. From Zhao Hu's eyes, he saw sincerity and firmness.
Qin Bo smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Hu, I believe in your strength and courage. Welcome to join."
With Zhao Hu taking the lead, the new Demon Suppressing Guard, who had been looking at each other, began to waver.
At this moment, Zhou Ruixue also exchanged a glance with Lin Yu.
Understanding the thoughts in their hearts.
"Young Master Qin, we are also willing to become your subordinates!"
"Yes, we are willing to join, I hope Young Master Qin won't dislike us."
"I'm willing too!"
Four of the five people in Zhou Ruixue's team were willing to join, but only Li Yao looked embarrassed.
Seeing that four members of Zhou Ruixue's team had expressed their willingness to join, Qin Bo was overjoyed and said:
"How could I dislike you? It is my honor to have you join. Let's work hard together to complete the task."
Everyone's eyes then turned to Li Yao, who looked embarrassed.
Zhou Ruixue looked at Li Yao and asked softly, "Li Yao, what's wrong?"
"I... I am also willing to become your subordinate, but..."
Li Yao said a sentence slowly, but he was afraid that Qin Bo would specifically target him afterwards.
Because he had spoken rudely to Qin Bo before.
Qin Bo seemed to see Li Yao's concerns, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Li Yao, I didn't take the previous matter to heart. We in the Demon Suppressing Division are all here to protect Yunzhou City and fight against anomalies. The small frictions of the past are not worth mentioning."
"Since you are willing to join, then we are partners fighting side by side."
Li Yao felt a warmth in his heart and looked at Qin Bo gratefully:
"Day Roamer Qin, thank you for your generosity. I really shouldn't have been so rude before. I will definitely do my best to follow you in the future."
"Okay, everyone is brothers and sisters, working together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome."
Qin Bo looked around at everyone, his eyes firm.
"Understood!"
Then Qin Bo turned to Elder Sun and said, "Elder, these few people are enough!"
"Alright, since that's the case, go ahead. Next, go and collect your resources and assignments. A team is a team, but there are also special assignments."
After Elder Sun finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Afterward, all the new recruits arrived at the resource distribution point.
Each new recruit could collect two sets of clothes, a weapon, and a token.
The clothes were specially designed by the Demon Suppressing Division, representing the face of the Demon Suppressing Division.
The ordinary Demon Suppressing Guard uniform was a set of black and white clothes with the words "Demon Suppressing" written on it.
What Qin Bo received was clothes exclusive to the Day Roamer envoy.
Embroidered on it was a large sun pattern, its light shining on the earth, representing the duties of the Day Roamer envoy.
The Day Roamer is a position within the Demon Suppressing Division specifically to deal with anomalies, just like people who specialize in handling anomaly cases.
And there is another position, which is the Night Roamer.
It's not that they belong to the night, but that they all belong to the shadows.
Responsible for intelligence, investigation, and so on.
Qin Bo looked at the clothes embroidered with the large sun pattern in his hand, and a sense of mission surged in his heart.
He knew that the position of Day Roamer envoy was a great responsibility, and every mission concerned the safety of the people of Yunzhou City.
After everyone collected their clothes, they each chose their weapons.
Qin Bo glanced at them and wasn't interested at all.
He had already bound his natal weapon and had no thoughts about these weapons.
But the next moment, the butcher knife attached to Qin Bo's back began to tremble.
Qin Bo was stunned.
"What's going on?!"
Then he pulled out his butcher knife, only to see the butcher knife trembling in one direction.
Qin Bo followed its direction.
He saw a blood-red greatsword lying quietly in the corner.
And the butcher knife's target was it.
"You want it?!"
Qin Bo asked, puzzled. Then the butcher knife trembled twice.
Qin Bo had no choice but to reach out and pick up the blood-colored greatsword.
After taking it out, the steward at the door stopped Qin Bo.
"Envoy, this sword is a second-order spirit artifact. You can't choose it. This spirit artifact requires fifty contribution points to exchange."
"Oh, can't I exchange it either?"
The steward took Qin Bo's token, only to find that it already had five hundred contribution points on it.
He quickly smiled.
"Yes, yes, Envoy, you absolutely can."
These contribution points were directly rewarded to him by the Demon Suppressing Division based on his merits.
Just strengthening the Ghost King's seal was already a top priority. These five hundred points were still suppressed; otherwise, it might have been thousands of contribution points.
