Last Totem Novel - Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Team
In this world, if you want to achieve a career, you must have your own team, and the academy is to provide a platform for team building and team training.

Those with resources and social status can be seen as future leaders, while those without resources and abilities can be seen as future followers.

On this platform, future leaders can communicate with each other to find future partners. Secondly, leaders can choose the right followers from among the students to form their own teams, and through the Academy’s mission to train teams, eliminate those who are not suitable candidates. Followers, on the other hand, could also test whether a leader was worthy of following through on the academy’s mission.

This way, when the leaders leave the academy, they will have a mature team that has gone through the tests of blood and fire. In the future, when they were in charge, they would have a certain foundation in terms of teamwork and social relations.

For so many years, Tie Zha had been alone and had never had the concept of a team. Until today, he stood here and looked at the messages from the teams. He finally understood Cozan’s good intentions.

When he was in the temple, Cozan didn’t allow him to join the Sacred Wolf Guardian because he wanted to give him a way out.

At this moment, there were two choices before him: to be a leader, or to be a follower.

If he had the ability and determination, he would form his own team and work tirelessly to ignite the glorious sacred flame.

If his ability was weak and his determination was limited, he would join a certain guild and live on. He would continue his bloodline and faith and wait for the time to come for a long time.

Or, give up the status of fire seed and become an ordinary person for the rest of his life …

However, Old Man Tie gave him an iron gallbladder and Cozan gave him a cavity of hot blood. Although he seemed to have other choices, there was only one way forward for him!

However, it was not easy to form his own team. He had nothing, no money, no power, how could he gather people’s hands empty-handed? At this moment, he recalled Cozan’s words.

“Although there aren’t many of us left, please remember that we are never afraid of any faction! The glory of our ancestors will illuminate our path forward!”

“We have never lost everything. We have a strong faith, a glorious history, and a heroic heritage.”

“Thousands of times richer than those walking corpses lying on the pile of gold coins who only know how to eat, drink, and play!”

“Without money, we can earn it, but without a soul, it is the greatest sorrow.”

Thinking of this, Tie Zha gripped the harmonica in his pocket forcefully and made up his mind to form a team to help ignite the brilliant sacred flame! If he lacked funds, he would start from the bottom, earn one cent at a time, and accumulate little by little. As long as they persevered, one day they would be able to pull up a troop and walk across the boundless earth in search of the lost lightning hammer.

He raised his head and looked up at the screen again, searching for suitable tasks amidst the messy information.

After a while, Bai Xiaoyun saw that Tie Zha was staring blankly at the screen without moving. He suggested, “Let’s go try the cat hunt first. There is an old saying in the Far East that no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is still meat.” Iron Slag thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he shook his hand and asked Bai Xiaoyun to accept the mission.

After Bai Xiaoyun was acknowledged, he went to the front desk to complete the formalities for accepting the mission. During that time, Tie Zha went through the information on the guild rankings again. There were hundreds of teams, large and small. Apart from the ones at the top, the numbers were basically between 30 and 50. He noticed that the ranking of the team was based on the number of honor points, not on the size of the team.

When Bai Xiaoyun returned, he asked about the Honor Points. Bai Xiaoyun said that every time the mission was returned, the academy would evaluate the completion of the mission. If the evaluation result is qualified, you will not receive any honorary points. If the completion condition is good, you will receive 1 point. If it is excellent, you will receive 3 points. Conversely, if the mission fails and causes undesirable consequences, one to three Honor Points will be deducted depending on the actual situation.

Tie Zha shook his head, indicating that he did not understand. Bai Xiaoyun thought for a moment and gave an example. Suppose someone accepts the mission of “Far Mountain White Tea” and transports 600 kilograms of white tea back to the Exchange Center according to the requirements of the mission.

If you are a few days late, or the quality of this batch of white tea is average, then it is likely to get a “pass” evaluation. If the tea leaves are wet during transportation, not only will the quest be cancelled, they will also receive a “poor” evaluation and a penalty of deducting 1 Honor Points. On the other hand, if this batch of white tea arrives on time and is of first-rate quality, it is likely to receive a “good” evaluation.

“What’s the benefit of having high Honor Points?” Tie Zha asked. Bai Xiaoyun explained that the higher the honor points, the higher the credit rating, and the higher the credit rating, the more loans he could apply to the bank.

Hearing this, Tie Zha looked at the 978 Honor Points of the “Princess Guards” and couldn’t help but sigh, “This student president is really amazing.”

Bai Xiaoyun, on the other hand, said with disdain, “She has the right to be famous and powerful, and she often undertakes massacre missions in the southern continent. Of course, her points are high.”

“What do you mean?” Tie Zha frowned and asked.

Bai Xiaoyun snorted softly and whispered, “Every once in a while, the World Council will issue missions to destroy the insecticide gathering places in the southern continent, so as to control the number and development of insecticides.”

‘”Those pitiful bug transformers have already lived in a harsh enough environment, and they are still faced with this kind of calamity from time to time. Most of the guilds in the academy are unwilling to accept this kind of mission. Although it is not dangerous, many people cannot bear to slaughter those unarmed bug transformers.”

“Of the top 20 guilds, only three will take on this kind of mission, and Yoga Lombar’s Princess Guards is one of them, and they are the most ruthless.”

Bai Xiaoyun took a deep breath as he said, “Everything she handled was completely untouched, regardless of whether it was men, women, old or young …”

“She … Why is she …” In astonishment, Tie Zha’s eyes widened, and even his voice trembled.

“There’s no reason. She’s from the Temple. It’s normal for her to do such a thing.”

Hearing Bai Xiaoyun’s words, Tie Zha’s heart became extremely heavy. The girl in his memories had changed her appearance and was no longer the person he knew. Perhaps it was because he had never known her before and didn’t know what kind of person she was. He and she were already standing on the other side of the Nether River. However, he still had a little bit of extravagant hopes and attachment towards her. But this last trace of familiarity, accompanied by the emergence of the cruel truth, disappeared from the clouds …

After calming down, Tie Zha asked Bai Xiaoyun to lead the way and take a look at the cat-hunting mission.

Half an hour later, they arrived in front of a small villa on the Garden Street of Babylon. Ringing the doorbell, an old woman leaned on a walking stick and opened the small fence in front of the door trembling. The old woman looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with deep wrinkles on her face and a thick pair of presbyopic glasses.

Bai Xiaoyun stepped forward to explain her intentions. The old woman was somewhat disappointed. She said that several students had already come to ask about the cat’s situation, but she had not received any news. Bai Xiaoyun swore that he would definitely help her find the kitten, but he had to ask about the situation first.

On the side, Tie Zha frowned slightly. This Bai Xiaoyun was too reckless. He said that he could find it before he knew the situation clearly. This was not how he boasted. If she failed to complete the task and the old woman gave a “bad evaluation”, then she would be depressed. However, his words had already been spoken, and there was no point in explaining them any further. Now, he could only wait and see what the next step would be.

The old woman nodded and recounted the whole story of the kitten’s loss. Bai Xiaoyun held onto the small notebook and carefully recorded it. After a while, Bai Xiaoyun understood the situation and said goodbye to the old woman. Then, he pulled Tie Zha to search around.

“It’s definitely nearby. It won’t go far.” Bai Xiaoyun said. Tie Zha asked him why he was so sure. He analyzed that the old woman was old and usually only strolled around here. The kitten was young, so even if she got lost, she shouldn’t be able to walk far. Moreover, that kitten was not a precious breed. Under normal circumstances, it would not be stolen away. Also, since the old woman was so old and lived alone, she shouldn’t offend anyone. She could rule out the possibility of people.

In the next hour, the two of them strolled around and found no useful clues. Bai Xiaoyun asked the neighbors around him. Some said that the old woman’s cat had been lost more than ten days ago, so they shouldn’t be able to find it anymore, so they shouldn’t waste any more time. Some say that Ms. Silambur is a good person. Her son died while exploring the alternate plane. Now she has a cat, but the cat is missing again. How pitiful …

As they passed by a block, Iron Slag suddenly noticed that there was a corner missing from the cement cover on the ground. He walked over and looked closely. Beneath the cement cover was a drainage channel. The gap was roughly the size of a palm. Tie Zha asked Bai Xiaoyun if it was possible for the kitten to get in from here.

Bai Xiaoyun lay on the ground, activated the communicator, and used the white light on the screen to look into the gap. After observing for a while, Bai Xiaoyun got up and said that the possibility of the kitten getting in was very high, because he could smell a faint fishy smell inside. However, the underground canals here were all covered with thick cement plates, so it was impossible to open them one by one to inspect them.

Tie Zha thought for a moment and asked Bai Xiaoyun if he could get the chicken he had just killed. Bai Xiaoyun asked curiously what was the use. Tie Zha said that he was going to stay here tonight to see if there was any movement. He also went to the forest behind to get a roasted chicken to eat. Bai Xiaoyun hurriedly said that no fire could be lit in the academy. Iron Slag frowned and threatened, “Think of Qin Ke’er.” Bai Xiaoyun immediately withered. He said that he had done odd jobs in the canteen and could buy them from the chef.

Bai Xiaoyun shook his hand and immediately ran away.

More than an hour later, the sun gradually set. Bai Xiaoyun ran back panting as he carried the two big white chickens that he had just killed.
