University Team Benefits
"That sounds like a good idea." Bai Xiaowen chuckled at Chen Guowei's words and then looked thoughtful.
Zhao Yuting said shrilly, "What about Liu Fei? He's a level 5 Elite Class, an agility type like Xiang Hui Xiang Hui, but two levels higher! Whether it's attributes, specialties, or skills, he's superior. Why not choose Liu Fei? Or are you selecting the University Team's main players based on personal relationships rather than actual ability?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Senior Zhao, you used the word 'also' very well."
Zhao Yuting's momentum faltered. She then recalled that Liu Fei and the others had previously engaged in pre-selection, disregarding ability and only promoting their own people.
"I won't be in the main team," Xiang Hui said calmly.
Chen Guowei was taken aback. "Huh? Lao Xiang, this is a great opportunity!"
Xiang Hui didn't explain further, but sat down with his arms crossed, looking at Bai Xiaowen: "You know what I mean."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly.
Xiang Hui is proud and hopes to gain recognition and join the main team based on his true abilities.
In today's match, Bai Xiaowen shone brightly, and Li Shuyi also performed well, but what about Xiang Hui?
As an agile warrior, Xiang Hui couldn't gain the upper hand in a one-on-one fight against Xiao Mingsheng, who was a support character. If it weren't for Bai Xiaowen's Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier providing support, he might have been killed by Xiao Mingsheng. This was quite a shock to Xiang Hui.
Xiao Mingsheng is so talented, yet he didn't make the University Team's starting lineup. If Xiang Hui does, won't people gossip about it?
Today's battle certainly shocked Liu Fei and the others with Bai Xiaowen's presence, but Xiang Hui was no different. He could clearly feel that the gap in strength between himself and Bai Xiaowen had widened even further.
The proud Xiang Hui did not want to enter the main lineup of the University Team through the nepotism brought about by Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen understood Xiang Hui's thoughts. Under these circumstances, it was not appropriate to force Xiang Hui into the starting lineup. Against strong teams in the league, he could easily become the team's weak link and a weak point. If they won, people would say he won by doing nothing; if they lost, he would be the scapegoat.
It would be better to let Xiang Hui gain experience in the reserve team first. Bai Xiaowen had the same consideration for Chen Guowei.
"Then, let's give the last spot on the University Team's main roster to Liu Fei. What do you think, Teacher Yan?"
Yan Xiaoxin couldn't be more satisfied. She could see that Bai Xiaowen was very fair in selecting the University Team roster and determining the main lineup. Based on this alone, he was more deserving to be the captain than Liu Fei.
"... Thanks."
Liu Fei, having narrowly escaped death, glanced at Bai Xiaowen with mixed feelings. He had thought he had no chance, but unexpectedly, he not only made the roster but also retained his starting position.
"You don't need to thank me," Bai Xiaowen said calmly. "The starting lineup isn't static. The capable rise, the mediocre fall. Whoever performs well and improves quickly can enter the starting team. If any University Team starter only thinks about resting on their laurels and doesn't strive for improvement, or disobeys instructions during a game, they'll be kicked out immediately, not even accepted into the reserve team."
Liu Fei felt uncomfortable being lectured like this by Bai Xiaowen, a freshman. However, he did not utter a word in rebuttal.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaoxin felt somewhat gratified. The rift in the University Team had not widened, and they had basically assembled the strongest players from Jinghai University. With this lineup, if they could work together well, they had a good chance of achieving good results in the league.
However, after the ten-person roster for the University Team was finalized, the other students who had signed up had objections.
"Teacher Yan, what about us?"
"Aren't we even given the chance to be selected for the reserve team?"
Someone whispered, "Isn't it supposed to be that the capable rise and the mediocre fall? The University Team has a few substitutes who aren't even as good as me."
Bai Xiaowen was prepared for this. "When we played against the original University Team's main lineup before, there was still one spot available, but you didn't even have the courage to fight. Only senior Feng Zi'ang stepped up and joined my team. So, you were eliminated."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen added, "However, the University Team's ten-man roster, like the main lineup, is not static. An assessment is held every two months. Players on the reserve team who don't meet the assessment standards are temporarily removed and compete again with other registered players for vacant reserve team spots."
Chen Guowei asked, "What are the evaluation criteria?" He was a little uneasy, because in terms of ability, he was the worst among the substitutes on the University Team.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "The reserve team is mainly for cultivating students with potential, so let's use the rate of improvement as the evaluation standard. As for how to measure who has made the most progress and who has made the least progress, that's up to Teacher Yan to decide."
Yan Xiaoxin said with a smile, "This is a very good idea."
Chen Guowei grinned and said, "Old Bai... oh no, Captain is brilliant. This idea is great!" He felt relieved. Although we started from a low point, it meant we had a lot of room for improvement! Those senior students who had spent two or three years in university certainly didn't improve as much as he, a newcomer.
The other applicants were still somewhat indignant, but seeing Yan Xiaoxin's support and unwilling to offend Bai Xiaowen, the newly appointed captain, they had no choice but to accept the rule. However, the door to the University Team was not completely closed; there would be another chance to compete in two months.
"Alright, the recruitment event for the University Team is now over. Non- University Team members, please leave the lounge. The University Team members need to have a short meeting." Yan Xiaoxin clapped her hands.
A group of people, including the beautiful female cheerleaders, left the lounge.
The senior student named Bai Yanni, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, turned around and made a phone call gesture to Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen kept his eyes straight ahead, appearing very serious. On the outside of his left thigh, Li Shuyi quietly lowered her small hand.
Soon, only Yan Xiaoxin, Zhao Yuting, and ten new University Team members remained in the lounge.
"The University Team roster is now temporarily finalized. I hope everyone will work together to achieve excellent results in the league and bring glory to the school," Yan Xiaoxin said. "Now, Zhao Yuting, please tell the new members about the benefits and treatment of the University Team."
Zhao Yuting, who had been somewhat absent-minded, finally came to her senses. Her face was expressionless, and she recounted the benefits of the University Team in a monotonous and repetitive manner, like a broken record.
In terms of points, each member of the University Team, whether a starter or a substitute, will receive a fixed 100 points per month. These points can be used to redeem access to the Psionic Training Ground, apply for one-on-one tutoring from teachers, and redeem access to certain Special Treasure Ground, etc.
Regarding access to Special Treasure Ground areas, every two months, University Team members will receive one free access to train in Special Treasure Ground Wilderness Zone.
Another point is the Psionic Training Ground. The University Team training base has a dedicated Psionic Training Ground that doesn't require points; it only requires Psionic Points to open. Inside, you can train your combat skills and improve your Battle Specialty.
"These are the basic benefits for the University Team. If you achieve excellent results in major competitions and bring glory to the school, you will also receive Honor Points as a reward, which can be exchanged for access to the Trial Space."
Yan Xiaoxin found Zhao Yuting's emotionless, repetitive voice somewhat unbearable and summed it up in one sentence, ending Zhao Yuting's speech.
Then, Yan Xiaoxin took out a USB drive. "Next, please watch a few videos."
I'm in a really bad mood today. I kept writing and deleting, and now I only have one chapter left. I'm so sorry, Old Ya, as I need to organize my thoughts.
