Chapter 86: Chapter 28: Tricking You_2

"Come to our Team 02, our team is full of talent, with more than twenty excellent glass people. If you come, I’ll make you the vice captain right away!" The white team captain was very straightforward, directly stating the advantages of his team.

The other team captains panicked, especially those whose teams weren’t as strong, shouting, "Team 02 always picks the excellent glass people, and this time you’ve already taken Luo Ban. Are you still competing with us?"

The white team captain laughed heartily, "It’s precisely because Luo Ban has already joined our team that Gao Xin should come too."

"The strong take all. Our Team 02 is fierce; we’ve completed our goals for 24 consecutive months, and for ten of those months, we’ve been the best in performance. What do you say?"

"Gao Xin, don’t bother with those weak teams; with us, you can live comfortably."

The power teams also offered their own conditions and vigorously introduced their team’s advantages.

It was as if joining their teams meant earning redemption coupons by just lying there, without fighting for your life in the game.

But obviously, that was impossible. Every team was vying for strong players to increase their chances of earning more redemption coupons.

Gao Xin chuckled to himself. They were taking advantage of his newcomer status to bluff.

He then turned his attention to Qiao Ge, curious to see what he would say.

Qiao Ge got the hint and finally stepped forward, saying, "Gao Xin, our Team 09 might not be particularly strong, but we’ve also met our goals for eight consecutive months. If you come, I’ll give you the position of team leader."

"???" When he said that, the other team captains were dumbfounded.

What? Giving up the position of team leader?

The position of team leader in the redemption team, or in the hard labor team, that kind of role, was pretty much the best form of power a glass person could strive for.

Even though being the leader of a redemption team could be dangerous, since the leader would die if the team failed to meet the goals!

But a leader has control over scheduling—who goes to the game and who doesn’t, who takes part in low-level or mid-level games—those powers are all in the hands of the leader.

At the last moment, whether it’s a desperate move to send everyone to the game or a gallant decision to spend one’s savings and take a gamble in the mid-level game, it could all help to make up the shortfall in the end.

In fact, as long as the team members aren’t too weak, meeting the goals is quite simple, and it’s not so easy for leaders to die.

If lucky, an affluent team leader could even use this to strengthen themselves, with each one becoming an excellent glass person and possessing firearms.

In short, the leader’s power is very important, and giving it up is like handing over one’s life.

"Oh? You’re letting me be the leader?" Gao Xin hadn’t expected the other side to offer this condition.

The other team leaders got anxious, "Gao Xin, don’t listen to that Qiao guy spouting nonsense; he has no authority to transfer the leadership."

"You know if the team fails to meet the goals, the leader has to pay with their life. If anyone could just hand over the leader’s position at the last moment and find a lackey to die in their place, then what’s the point?"

"Right, this guy is deceiving you. He just wants to lure you into his team. Once you’re in, you’d have to follow his orders. If he orders you to go to the game, you’ll have to go."

Hearing these people trying to discredit him, Gao Xin laughed, "So the conditions you promised, to only participate once a month or even at will, are all bullshit?"

Suddenly, some people were stunned.

The white team leader from Team 02 immediately said, "My team is the strongest. Come, and you’re the vice captain. I keep my word. As for participating in the game, the vice captain can sit out. It’s just a word from me, unless the team really can’t meet the goals, then you would need to enter the game."

"Without a doubt, joining the strongest team is the best choice. Our team has met the goals for the past two years."

Qiao Ge simply smiled and said, "Gao Xin, I admit I don’t really have the right to actually give you the position of team leader."

"But isn’t this better? As long as you trust me, you and I will jointly lead Team 09. If we can’t make the grades, I’ll be the one to die in the end!"

Everyone was shocked. Having the authority of a leader without the consequences?

Is this how competitive it’s gotten?

The strongest white team leader was furious, and turned around to grab Qiao Ge’s collar, "Qiao Long, are you out of your mind?"

Qiao Long smiled faintly, "I’m not sick. I’m just tired of leading. I’ve been thinking of stepping down for a while now."

The people speechless—tired of being a leader?

Gao Xin smiled. Qiao Ge might just be sweet-talking him, but similarly, the other team leaders were likely to do the same. Compared to them, at least he had some trust in Qiao Ge, having indirectly connected with Liu Xu and the others and fighting a preliminary battle with them.

The sincerity had already been fully extended when the latter spoke in front of everyone about making him the leader.

Gao Xin resolutely declared, "Alright, then I’ll go to Team 09."

Upon hearing this, the white team leader angrily swung a punch at Qiao Long, as if to vent his frustration.

Qiao Long did not back down either, and threw a punch in return.

"Thud!"

Qiao Long was forced to retreat, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The white team leader also took a hit, his face reddened, as he clutched his neck and staggered back.

All the team leaders present were excellent glass people, and the difference between them basically came down to physical weight. And undoubtedly, the white team leader was the strongest; he weighed about 120 kilograms, the largest of them all.

Qiao Long was a head shorter, but managing to take a punch without falling over was enough to prove his strength.

"You dare to fight back? You want a fight, is that it?" The white team leader charged forward in anger, eager to continue the fight, while several other team leaders also closed in on him.

"Peter, stop freaking out here," Qiao Long’s side was the same, many nearby clenched their fists, ready for battle.

This made Gao Xin’s heart stir, seeing that the teams clearly had alliances among them.
