God of Pets

Inside the camp of the Reserve Team, in the office of Team 1.

Bu Changning looked at Xiu Haofeng, the captain of Team 1, and said, "Captain Xiu, just tell me if you want me or not?"

"I have to owe favors to others to transfer you to Team 1, and I will offend the new captain of Team 17, so give me a reason to do this." Xiu Haofeng said with interest as he looked at Bu Changning.

"Captain Xiu, you are from the Xiu Family, transferring me to Team 1 is just a matter of your word. As long as you bring me over, I will certainly serve you with all my might." Bu Changning said through gritted teeth.

Xiu Haojie smiled without saying a word. Bu Changning indeed had some strength, but to the Xiu Family, that strength was nothing. The Reserve Team had no shortage of geniuses, and since Bu Changning could betray Chen Guan now, he could betray him in the future too. Such a person, he didn't want around him.

Bu Changning, seeing Xiu Haofeng remain silent, realized things were not as simple as he thought.

But apart from himself, Bu Changning really had no other leverage to persuade Xiu Haofeng.

Bu Changning gritted his teeth and prepared to get up and leave. If he couldn't join Team 1, he'd try his luck with another team; he absolutely wouldn't return to Team 17 again. Just thinking about Chen Guan's face made him nauseous.

"You can join Team 1, but you have to give me some confidence, let me know it's not just a whim." Xiu Haofeng spoke just then.

"Captain Xiu, whatever you want me to do, I can do it." Bu Changning understood the implication of Xiu Haofeng's words.

"I heard the new Captain Chen is quite a talented person." Xiu Haofeng said unhurriedly.

"He has some background, but his brain isn't very useful. Following him will sooner or later lead to disaster." Bu Changning said resentfully.

"No, no, no, he's very outstanding, more so than you imagine." Xiu Haofeng shook his head, denying Bu Changning's statement.

Bu Changning's expression changed: "You know Chen Guan?"

"I've heard of him, but haven't met him, and he doesn't know me." Xiu Haofeng smiled: "In short, this person is outstanding and very capable. As the saying goes, the capable ones do more work, so for such a talent, it would be a waste not to utilize him, which is why I hope he can take on more tasks from the Reserve Team in the future."

"Do you mean?" Bu Changning faintly guessed something.

"You're still a member of Team 17 for now, and you can help him take on more random tasks, let him share more of the team's burden, which is for his own good. The more tasks he takes on, the more benefits he gets, which will be of great help to his cultivation." Xiu Haofeng said as he looked at Bu Changning.

Bu Changning's face turned a little ugly: "But I'm just an ordinary team member; I don't have the qualifications to take on random tasks on behalf of the team."

He understood the meaning of Xiu Haofeng. It was to let him represent Team 17 to take on random tasks. Random tasks are different from fixed tasks; if a task is accepted and not completed, there will be penalties.

"If I say you have, then you have." Xiu Haofeng said indifferently.

"Then what task do you want me to take on?" Bu Changning gritted his teeth. He had no way back, and since Chen Guan treated him so, he didn't want to let Chen Guan have a good time, even if Shi Zhimen and the others had to suffer for it. But what did that have to do with him?

When he left, no one supported him or left with him. If those people were implicated by Chen Guan, it would serve them right.

"All the Gold Tasks." Xiu Haofeng said slowly, leaning back in his chair.

"All... Gold Tasks..." Bu Changning's eyes widened, knowing how terrifying that would be.

There are three levels of random tasks: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, with Gold being the hardest.

The penalties for Gold Tasks are the most severe. If Team 17 were to accept so many Gold Tasks at once and couldn't complete even one, the consequences would be more than just losing points; the captain might even be directly demoted.

Chen Guan had just been promoted to team captain, only to be immediately demoted, it would truly be a joke.

Bu Changning didn't believe Chen Guan could lead Team 17 to complete Gold Tasks, let alone the lowest Bronze Tasks might be beyond their reach.

Any random task is harder than fixed tasks. If Team 17 can't complete fixed tasks, where would they get the ability to tackle random tasks, even more so, Gold-level random tasks.

"Is there a problem?" Xiu Haofeng looked at Bu Changning with a half-smile.

"No problem, how should I go about taking on these tasks?" Bu Changning gritted his teeth, eager to bring Chen Guan down to vent his resentment.

"I'll have you promoted to deputy captain of Team 17, then you can represent Team 17 to take on tasks. After you've accepted the Gold Tasks, come back to Team 1 to find me and follow me from then on." Xiu Haofeng patted Bu Changning's shoulder.

"Alright, I'll follow your arrangements, Captain Xiu, and please look after me in the future." Bu Changning quickly saluted.

"Go ahead." After sending Bu Changning off, a sharp light flashed in Xiu Haofeng's eyes: "If I let you off after you have designs on Ji Nanhong, my big brother's woman, people might really think the Xiu Family is easy to bully."

Chen Guan was unaware he was being plotted against by the Xiu Family; he was happily slacking off at the time.

These days, he had mostly been goofing around, letting Shi Zhimen handle the tasks with the team while he cultivated the Secret Technique of One and his own skills, simultaneously improving his level and skill level.

In this large-scale Secret Spirit clearing action, the Primordial Energy that the Secret Technique of One could absorb had significantly increased, and combined with the naturally dense Primordial Energy in the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm, which was quite comparable to Holy Lamp Mountain, his accumulation of Primordial Energy over these days wasn't bad, suggesting he might level up to 9 soon, hopefully soon.

The Blood Hand Seal had been practiced up to level 8; he hadn't practiced the other Secret Skills much, so they remained at their previous level.

Because he was in a cavalry team, Chen Guan hadn't had many opportunities to use the Senluo Ghost Step and similar skills, so their levels naturally didn't improve.

The Blood Hand Seal was practiced in secret while slacking off, and he didn't usually need it, as spear techniques were the primary focus.

With a loud crash, the level 10 solitary Secret Spirit, Giant Spirit Ghost Snake, fell dead. After landing the final blow, the captain of the Door Team raised his spear to the sky and roared in excitement.

The next second, black particles rose from the Giant Spirit Ghost Snake's body and converged into the captain's hand, quickly forming into a Secret Core.

"It's the solitary Giant Spirit Snake Spear Technique; captain, how should this be handled?" The captain handed the Secret Core to Chen Guan.

"You killed it; naturally, it belongs to you." Chen Guan said with a smile.

"How can that be? This is the accomplishment of our entire team; naturally, it should be distributed by you, our captain." The captain quickly shook his head.

"Then I'll distribute it to you. The team will rely on you to lead in the future. If you're strong, we're strong, and if we're strong, Team 17 is strong. We'll get better in the future, and Team 17 will improve as well." Chen Guan didn't excel at spear techniques, had too many skills to train, and hadn't planned to particularly train in spear techniques, and thus didn't find much value in the Giant Spirit Snake Spear Technique.

The captain looked back at the other team members, saw them nodding, and then no longer refused. He directly used the Secret Core and learned the Giant Spirit Snake Spear Technique.

"All seven tasks completed, it's time to head back and turn in the tasks for a celebration." Chen Guan checked the time, finding that heading back now would get him there just in time for Friday to submit tasks.
