After a brief moment of thought, Deng Jin nodded firmly. "I don't want to miss something this interesting. Count me in."
"I'm in too," Wei Bai said calmly.
"Th-then, I'll give it a try too?" Ning Xiao Xiao swallowed and said cautiously, "I'll follow orders, but I might not be as strong as them..."
"Although there are five of us on our side, for safety's sake, I'll only participate in the tactical operations that are absolutely necessary. You seven will be responsible for the actual fighting, so the five of us will only take fifty percent of the spoils, while you share the other fifty percent." Jiang Shi looked at Deng Jin and the other two. "You're all messengers who meet my recruitment requirements. As long as you follow orders, your contributions should be on the same level. Therefore, my distribution strategy is a 'Fish Scale Selection' between the two sides and a 'Seating Selection' within your group. Any objections?"

'Seating Selection,' as the name suggested, meant choosing in turn according to seating order. Everyone would receive spoils; the only difference was who chose first.
