Chapter 707: Wanting to Join the Ninth Team

"That's how it is. As long as you understand that hunting well, when you catch a large prey in the future, there will be benefits for everyone. Do you understand?" Wang Changdong addressed the scattered teams below.

"We understand," came the sparse response.

Wang Changdong nodded and turned to the new recruits. "Have you made your decision? Will you form your own team or join an existing one?"

The group exchanged glances, and after a moment, one person stepped forward. "We...we want to join the Ninth Team."

In fact, they had already applied yesterday. They had met outside the village and knew that they were all newcomers who wouldn't be welcome in the established teams.

Instead of forcing their way into a team, they thought it would be better to form their own.

Since they had just arrived, there wouldn't be a high demand for game in the village. They could gradually adapt before venturing deeper into the mountains.

They had discussed this plan before entering the village, but they hadn't had the chance to speak before hearing that Lu Shuyu had become a supervisor.

With their heads lowered just now, they immediately changed their minds.

Since Lu Shuyu wasn't going into the mountains to hunt, wouldn't the Ninth Team be left with only one member, Fang Xiyue?

In other words, joining the Ninth Team would only mean that their team would have an additional member in Fang Xiyue, but it would come with great benefits.

Firstly, both Fang Xiyue and Shu Yu had proven their abilities by catching so much game. They had experience and skills. Secondly, since Shu Yu was previously part of the Ninth Team and had a good relationship with Fang Xiyue, now that she was a supervisor, she would surely take care of the Ninth Team even more.

This win-win situation was highly appealing to them.

So, without hesitation, they changed their minds.

However, as soon as they finished speaking, Wang Changdong furrowed his brow and said, "That may not be possible. The Ninth Team originally had two members, but due to miss Lu becoming a supervisor, there is now only Fang Xiyue left. Fang Xiyue has joined the Third Team because they had a good partnership. But as for the Ninth Team, I plan to keep it. The Ninth Team is a special case, and although it has no members, it's still meaningful to have it here."

The new recruits felt disappointed.

If the Third Team accepted Fang Xiyue, could they...

Before they could finish their thoughts, Ma Lu spoke, "The chief is right. Although our Third Team didn't accept any new members before, Fang Xiyue is an exception."

Well, with that said, the new recruits had nothing more to say.

Although they felt somewhat unwilling, they had no choice but to say to the official, "Then, we'll form the Tenth Team directly."

"Alright, you'll be the Tenth Team. Come over to Supervisor Lu's side and register. Then, you can set off," Wang Changdong replied.

With Wang Changdong's words finished, Lu Shuyu walked solemnly to the desk, took out ink, brushes, paper, and inkstone, and said to the crowd, "Line up, one by one, to register."

The members of the Fifth Team were dragging their feet, while Ma Lu and his team were the first to step forward, register their names, collect their tools, and leave the village with big strides.

They hadn't entered the mountains for two days, and their bodies had become somewhat stiff.

The other teams, although awkward, silently approached. Now that Shu Yu was a supervisor, if she didn't hold grudges, they could still build a good relationship.

Only the members of the Fifth Team had resentful expressions and were the last to approach.
