481: Team Celestial
“You are looking for me?”
Seeing the three agents he had met once before, Xiao Yun was slightly puzzled.
Because Xiao Yun saw different expressions on their faces; the leader had immense joy, while the two behind him showed a hint of worry.
“I am Luo Xiu, the captain of the Heavenly God Team.”
The leader walked up, somewhat excitedly extending his hand, and Xiao Yun’s right hand was firmly grasped halfway through.
“We’ve been waiting for you here all morning, finally waiting for you to come to the restricted area again.”
“No way? I’ve been in the restricted area all this time?”
Hearing Luo Xiu’s words, Xiao Yun was a little confused.
He and Song Qiuyun had been in the pavilion, entering the restricted area multiple times, so how could Luo Xiu only notice him now?
“Hmm?”
Luo Xiu also found the situation he described a bit strange.
“That’s impossible, we’ve been sitting on this bench outside waiting, we just went to buy a bottle of water in the morning, and we haven’t left since.”
“Is there a possibility that you just missed the timing when you went to buy water?”
Xiao Yun then checked the time with the other party and found that it was indeed the case.
Just when he and Song Qiuyun arrived at the restricted area, it was exactly during the time they went to buy water.
And then Xiao Yun and Song Qiuyun had been going in and out of the pavilion, while Luo Xiu and his two teammates were sitting on the bench below the steps waiting, so the two sides just kept missing each other’s timing.
“Hahahaha! I didn’t expect it to be like this, but as long as I waited for you, no matter how long, it wasn’t in vain.”
“So, you also have something to talk about with me?”
At Luo Xiu’s sudden appearance, Xiao Yun felt a sense of vigilance at first.
In the previous match, although Xiao Yun killed Seyid after they left, and he never showed up from beginning to end, let alone Luo Xiu and his team, even Seyid himself probably didn’t know how he died.
However, to evacuate later, they must have seen Seyid’s body, plus Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan were waiting for Xia Ming outside the restricted area at that time, so Luo Xiu probably easily identified the target.
As the team that personally witnessed Seyid in the restricted area, wearing an eighth-grade set, the Heavenly God Team led by Luo Xiu must have been curious about his death.
Coupled with their status as the number one team in the Dragon Country GTI team rankings, Xiao Yun estimated that they most likely wanted to figure out what happened to Seyid.
“I’m here to invite you to join our team.”
Luo Xiu said.
“Isn’t your team already full?”
Looking at the somewhat worried expressions of the two people behind Luo Xiu, Xiao Yun seemed to realize something.
And indeed, Luo Xiu’s subsequent words confirmed his guess.
“The Heavenly God Team welcomes top powerhouses to join, and the lineup is always optimized. As long as there is a more suitable candidate, any one of us three can be out.”
“You mean, if a stronger person joins the Heavenly God Team, even you, the captain, might have to leave?”
“That’s right.”
Luo Xiu just smiled upon hearing this, as if he had long been mentally prepared for such a thing.
“However, logically speaking, I have no risk of being eliminated, because I am currently ranked third in the individual rankings.”
“I see.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yun nodded silently.
So, he wasn’t mentally prepared; he knew he wouldn’t be eliminated.
After all, even if the people ranked first and second were willing to join the Heavenly God Team, they would only replace the positions of the other two.
As the third-ranked agent, he was precisely in a position where he would not be eliminated.
“However, this is just this year’s ranking, sigh, next year it’s not certain.”
Luo Xiu sighed, but no regret showed on his face.
Xiao Yun also encountered such a strange person for the first time, as if he understood everything but also took it very lightly; simply put, he had a very good mindset.
Especially when compared to the two brothers behind him who were panicking, Luo Xiu’s advantage in mindset was fully demonstrated.
“One of them is ranked 7th, and the other is 49th. Although the ranking gap seems large, the older brother is an engineer, so his actual strength might even be stronger than the one ranked seventh.”
“You don’t need to tell me so much, I don’t plan to join your team anyway.”
Xiao Yun smiled helplessly.
He originally preferred to act alone in the restricted area, and the reason he later brought Lu Xueqing and Liu Shihhan was because they were trustworthy and there would be no conflicts.
And for a team like the Heavenly God Team, where members are rotated at any time, Xiao Yun found it hard to believe there was any trust among the teammates.
However.
Luo Xiu continued to speak as if he hadn’t heard him.
“You might not know, but there are many benefits to joining the Heavenly God Team… As the number one team in the Dragon Country GTI, we receive hundreds of millions in funding every year, and even high meal subsidies for every meal. No matter what you want to eat, abalone, sea cucumber, or lobster, it can be reimbursed. And if you want to buy a house, there are also high subsidies, basically only one-tenth of the market price or even less. Some bosses even give away houses for free when they hear a Heavenly God Team member is coming. This can amount to hundreds of millions or even a billion in income just by lying down… You should know, this opportunity is very rare.”
“Wow, your Dragon Country’s welfare is so good!”
Hearing Luo Xiu’s description, Xiao Yun didn’t feel much, but Xia Ming next to him was tempted.
“Is it still too late for me to join your Dragon Country now?”
“Sorry, our Heavenly God Team currently has no intention of recruiting anyone else.”
“Whatever, humph, I didn’t really want to join anyway.”
Hearing Xia Ming’s obviously fake lie, Xiao Yun was speechless.
After hearing about the benefits, this guy clearly wanted to join!
“Now that the benefits are done, what about the downsides?”
“Downsides? What downsides are there? But if I had to say… it’s that all our new discoveries in the restricted area must be organized and submitted to the official Dragon Country GTI.”
“Good heavens, so that’s what you were waiting for!”
Hearing this, Xiao Yun immediately understood why the Heavenly God Team, with such good benefits, wanted to invite him to join.
