237: The Hungry Ghost Squad is here

Hearing the knock on the door, Cheng Xiao quickly went to open it.

Creak, three men and one woman entered in single file!

It was Finci Dana, Ouyang Feijin, Jiaogen Jingcun, and Dili Abasi!

The three men couldn't help but take a second look when they saw a stunning beauty opening the door.

Dili Abasi, on the other hand, sized up Cheng Xiao playfully, "Is this Pan Han's woman?"

Cheng Xiao felt uncomfortable being stared at by the four, her hairs standing on end, and she quickly retreated to Pan Han's side.

"Big Brother, we're here!" Ouyang Feijin, feeling much better after breakfast, bounced over to Pan Han's side.

"Oh, who is this?" Dili Abasi asked in surprise upon seeing Nineteen Mao, so imposing.

"You've come at just the right time! This is my friend I met in the first Trial, Nineteen Mao. He's now teaming up with us to clear the fourth Trial." Pan Han had the four sit down and began introductions.

"Nineteen, these are the four teammates I mentioned."

Nineteen Mao listened, glanced at everyone, and snorted, "None of them can fight!"

Dili Abasi immediately became unhappy. She had lived with Pan Han and the others for a few days before and had feelings for everyone. Seeing a newcomer say such a thing, she directly retorted, "Oh, you big oaf, who are you talking about?"

"Who are you calling a big oaf?" Nineteen Mao was naturally displeased being ridiculed by a woman.

"Who else? Humph!" Dili Abasi crossed her arms, her peaks pushed out, making Cheng Xiao, who was watching from the side, a little jealous.

Thinking that Pan Han would be going to the battlefield with this woman tomorrow, she wished she could sign up immediately!

No matter how much she had to pay!

"Alright, everyone, don't start arguing as soon as you come in." Pan Han raised his voice an octave, making everyone instantly quiet down.

"Nineteen, these people cleared the Icy Minor Trial with me. They've been tested, and there's no problem. You'd best be more polite." Pan Han was a little dissatisfied with Nineteen Mao; it was certainly inappropriate to criticize people as soon as he entered.

Nineteen Mao stopped talking, but he mumbled under his breath.

"Asiba, this Nineteen and I crossed paths in the first Trial. His strength is very formidable. With him joining us, we'll achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Dili Abasi also stopped talking and sat directly beside Ouyang Feijin.

Under Pan Han's mediation, everyone gradually quieted down and returned to their seats.

Ouyang Feijin looked at Nineteen Mao and asked curiously, "Nineteen Mao, you already crossed paths with our Big Brother in the first Trial? Then you must be very powerful!"

Nineteen Mao waved his hand, a hint of pride appearing on his face, "Hehe, I guess so. I got quite a lot of points in the first Trial."

Finci Dana also asked excitedly, "Nineteen Mao, do you have any special skills or weapons? Can you tell us about them?"

Nineteen Mao smiled slightly, revealing a mysterious expression, "I have a specially made giant axe that I forged myself. Its power is astonishing. And I'm also skilled in combat techniques and close-quarters combat. You could say it's a perfect combination of strength and skill."

Dili Abasi had never seen anyone so mysteriously confident and interrupted, "Wow, a giant axe! Nineteen Mao, can you take it out and show us? I really like watching others perform."

Nineteen Mao glanced at Dili Abasi, saw her playful intention, and said with a smile, "You'll see it with your own eyes when the fourth Trial begins tomorrow."

"Tch, he's nothing! Probably just a talker." Dili Abasi, seeing Nineteen Mao unwilling to demonstrate on the spot, started to tease him again.

"Sister Xi Ba, don't be so aggressive. I think Nineteen is burly and naturally strong. Our team really needs a warrior like him, it's great." Finci Dana was still the one who knew how to talk.

Jiaogen Jingcun, on the other hand, had a gloomy face, just staring at them bickering.

Pan Han sensed the atmosphere was a bit tense. He cleared his throat, breaking the silence.

"Alright, everyone calm down. We are here to cooperate, and mutual respect is a prerequisite. Nineteen Mao, while you have your specialties, each of us has our own value and strengths. We must unite and face the upcoming challenges together. Dili Abasi, stop teasing him; give him some time to adapt to our team."

Pan Han's words played a conciliatory role, and everyone's expressions gradually softened.

"That's right, we are all striving for a common goal. We are all teammates, and we need to trust and support each other. Nineteen, we are looking forward to your performance, and we hope you can bring stronger power to our team." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

Nineteen Mao reined in his slightly displeased expression and nodded to show acceptance.

Dili Abasi was still a bit unhappy, staring at Cheng Xiao and saying, "Who is this beauty? Our team doesn't seem to have you."

Pan Han scratched his head; had this girl eaten gunpowder today?

She seemed to enjoy the last Trial, so why was she so angry now?

"I'm your boss's woman; you should call me Big Sister-in-Law." Cheng Xiao had tolerated her for a long time and finally couldn't help but retort.

"Oh, so it's Big Sister-in-Law! Little Sister greets you." Dili Abasi, seeing Cheng Xiao angry, also felt embarrassed to tease her further. She nodded to her and stopped talking.

"Very good! Our Hungry Ghost Squad needs this kind of spirit. No one submits internally, but we unite against outsiders! Only a team like this can roar and win battles!" Pan Han quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

Actually, he was secretly pleased.

If everyone in the team was harmonious, how could he be the boss?

With internal struggles, he would be stable.

However, Dili Abasi didn't give Cheng Xiao much face, so he had to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson.

"Big Brother, let's discuss the details of our cooperation now." At this moment, Finci Dana spoke, bringing the topic back.

Pan Han nodded, thinking it had been a long time since he had held a meeting like they used to at Dawn Base.

So he pulled up a stool, took out his cigarettes, and told everyone to smoke freely.

As soon as they saw cigarettes, everyone stopped talking, lit up, and exhaled smoke.

Pan Han gathered everyone to discuss the plan, inventorying everyone's specialties and abilities.

Two hours and seven packs of cigarettes later, the pre-battle meeting finally concluded.

However, the results were significant. Everyone spoke freely, understood each other better, and the atmosphere was much better than before.

In addition, the distribution method for treasure points was determined.

The squad of six people must first collect 120 points worth of treasures to ensure everyone gets full points.

If they couldn't collect enough, everyone would divide it first, and Pan Han would divide last.

Because of this, everyone was moved by Big Brother's generosity and vowed to risk their lives to snatch more treasures.

Once enough points were collected, they would start with isolated Trial participants, tracking them first before snatching their treasures.

If they encountered a squad with fewer members than themselves, they could also attempt to encircle them.

As for teams with more members, they needed to first assess the opponent's combat strength; if they found themselves outmatched, they would immediately flee.

"Everyone, take a look. Is there anything else to add? If not, go back and rest. Conserve your energy and strive for a great victory tomorrow!" Finally, Pan Han gave a concluding speech.

Everyone expressed that the meeting was very good and that they would go back and digest it thoroughly. After speaking, they all secretly stuffed cigarettes into their pockets from the table.

Seeing that everyone had a strong craving for cigarettes, Pan Han gave each of them three more packs before bidding them farewell.

After seeing everyone off, Pan Han returned and was stared at intently by Cheng Xiao.

"What's wrong?" Pan Han felt a chill in his heart from being stared at.

"That woman has feelings for you. I can smell her seductive scent."

"Didn't you say before that I could find others? Just tell you about it."

"Hmph, I don't care! When the time comes, I'll be the main one, and she'll be the concubine!" Cheng Xiao said, stomping her foot, pouting at Pan Han.

"I don't have feelings for her right now, but she has a Daughter Country. After the Trial ends, we can go check it out. I'll find you dozens more good sisters then!"

"Go to hell! A-da!"
