Li Qingcheng looked at Xu Le in some surprise.
"Xu Le, why exactly are you asking about this? You're not thinking of..."
"No, I'm just asking. Can you answer me? Is it possible for someone recruited into a team to gain command of it?"
"There aren't any explicit rules about that, but most of the time, the authorities assign someone to command. If command falls to someone else and they can't win the team's respect, things could go pretty badly, so it probably wouldn't be allowed."
Xu Le nodded slightly at that.
It seemed getting command of a team so he could explore freely would be a little difficult.
But if nobody followed his orders, the gains from an expedition would undoubtedly drop considerably.
What should he do?

That didn't seem feasible either. After buying guns, ammunition, and some healing medicine and throwable weapons, his finances were already in a precarious state.
He still intended to hold on to the Wolf Fruit.
This kind of biological fruit could directly increase a warrior's strength.

So, in Li Qingcheng's eyes, he
