Link wouldn’t be intimidated, not only he did not directly answer the question, his words also implied some sarcasm.

There was a time when Link too wanted to eke along and grow.

Therefore, he understood the mentality of Lannie Taylor quite well, who had spent a long time surviving before realizing that one must stand out in the Wizard World to receive better and more support.

Without racking his brain, he could, by putting himself in Lanie’s shoes, roughly deduce what she was thinking.

Therefore, Link did not feel a stir at heart even when Lanny expressed her wish to team up with him multiple times and was even willing to accept his command.

Even if arsenic is coated with sugar, it is still arsenic, not sugar.

If you ingest it, you could be poisoned, or even die from it.

A small team that accepts the command of a small team leader, and yet submits to the command of a large team leader, is still a small team.

At any time, they could ignore the command of the large team leader and turn to listen to the command of the small team leader.

Such a small team is of no benefit.

Besides, Lanny’s team was no longer a small unit but consisted of n members including herself.

It had one more member than Link’s team.

If the two teams were forcibly integrated, who knows whether a case of the cuckoo driving the rightful nest occupants out would occur?

When Lanny heard Link’s words, she was not surprised that he could guess her early thoughts.

But now, she genuinely wants to form a team.

She was quite anxious and determined about it.

Why?

The more she advances in the sideline and mainline tasks, the more she realizes the shortcomings and disadvantages of herself and her team.

Although the academy has been subtly cultivating the spirit of exploration and innovation in all Wizard Apprentices since the beginning.

Not every Storm Sea New Blood, like Link, could produce several research results consecutively in the autumn of the first academic year.

Most of the First-year Newbloods haven’t even fully converted their way of thinking.

Lanny Taylor was already very outstanding.

In the overall ranking of the grade, with equal scores and more excellent Wizard Qualifications, she managed to eclipse Link and secured the first place.

But in terms of research and experimentation, Lanny had to admit that she was far behind Link, who had published several “papers” and owned several “patents”.

The missions of the Righteous Faction and saving the world were notably not about fighting and killing, but more oriented towards research and experimentation.

And, for two consecutive days, Link had announced in the faction channel, claiming that he had made progress on the faction mission.

Believing that Link did not lie, Lanny had no choice but to change her strategy and sincerely seek to form a team.

As for what happens after the team is formed and the results are obtained, it can be discussed later.

Facing Link’s joke, she gritted her teeth, set a military-order-like tone and said:

“We can make a contract that during the team-up, everyone including me must unconditionally follow your reasonable command and must not violate it. How about that?”

Everything can happen once or twice but not a third time.

Link didn’t want to offend Lanny too much, especially when she had compromised to this extent.

So, it was inappropriate to refuse directly.

He really didn’t want to take in Lanny’s team, so he thought of a compromise plan and said, “We can team up, but we need to change the way of teaming.”

“You say.”

Lanny nodded, showing she was willing to accept.

Link said: “Let’s team up but act separately. I will tell you and your team every day what you need to do and why you do it. And you must complete the tasks assigned each day and report the results promptly and completely.”

“Okay.”

Lanny agreed without hesitation.

Finally, a conclusion was reached after so much trouble, which is a good thing.

The faces of the ten people behind her showed different expressions.

Ignoring them, Link started calculating in his mind how to use the suddenly increased manpower.

As long as they are not dead, use them as hard as possible.

After all, they pleaded to be used on their own initiative.
