16: Chapter 16 Su Xiaoxiao joins the team!

This sudden yet earnest recruitment declaration left Su Xiaoxiao momentarily unable to react.

In those blue eyes, which were as calm as an icy lake, a rare ripple appeared.

The only reason Su Xiaoxiao came here today was because she received a notification from the system backend yesterday.

It informed her that her former Room 301 stronghold had changed owners and asked the former team member to clear out personal items as soon as possible.

That was why she thought about coming over to clean up the mess.

To put a period on her short but glorious "Night Curtain" career.

Yet she never expected to receive such a unique team invitation here.

During this time, after she left Night Curtain, many battle teams had contacted her through various channels.

Among them were quite a few elite teams like the Shenfeng Battle Team, which were ranked high across the entire level.

However, all the teams that approached her, without exception, were coming for the golden signboard of being a "former Nightfall Squad member."

The promises they made to Su Xiaoxiao were always about the best resource allocation, optimal equipment configuration, and even promising her the position of vice-captain.

But no one had ever truly calmed down to ask her what kind of team she wanted.

The captain in front of her, named Chen Xi, was actually a bit special.

He seemed to see through her inner exhaustion and longing, not only promising the glory of letting her stand at the pinnacle again but also emphasizing what she valued most now—unity and trust within the team.

However...

Su Xiaoxiao's reason was reminding her.

A team's composition is the key to determining its upper limit.

This team in front of her only had three people, including herself.

Moreover, two of them were support Professionals who lacked direct combat ability in the traditional sense.

With just this kind of composition, wanting to aim for the championship title?

This... seemed a bit like a fantasy.

Thus, Su Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

Her voice was cold and clear, yet carried a hint of sincerity:

"To be honest, compared to the battle teams that came to find me before, your invitation is indeed more sincere. At the very least, you tried to understand what I wanted, rather than just blindly trying to convince me with resources."

After speaking, Su Xiaoxiao still shook her head gently, her ice-blue eyes staring straight at Chen Xi, pointing out her biggest doubt without hesitation:

"However, I don't like people who brag."

"Brag?"

Chen Xi heard this and looked confused:

"What did I brag about? Every word I just said was sincere from the bottom of my heart!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his innocent appearance, and the corners of her mouth rarely curved into a faint arc; that smile was like ice and snow melting, carrying a hint of cold playfulness.

"With a composition of two pure supports, even adding me as a damage dealer, you dare to boast that you can stand at the pinnacle?"

"Classmate Chen Xi, isn't this bragging?"

Hearing this, Chen Xi understood.

He knew that for a Professional like Su Xiaoxiao, who came from a top-tier battle team, any verbal promise was pale and powerless without facts witnessed with her own eyes.

On his face, there was no embarrassment at being exposed; instead, there was an incomparably confident smile:

"I understand. How about this, Classmate Su Xiaoxiao, I won't explain too much here."

He took a step forward, looking at Su Xiaoxiao with determined eyes:

"You temporarily join our team first and go to the next dungeon with us. After experiencing it yourself, if you still think what I just said was bragging, then without another word, you can leave the team at any time, and I will never pester you. But if you think we're okay, it won't be too late to consider joining us then."

"Trying it out won't get you pregnant, right."

In Chen Xi's view,

the current composition of the Nirvana Battle Team

could be said to have everything ready, only lacking the east wind.

And Su Xiaoxiao was that east wind.

A top-tier, infinitely potential, powerful damage dealer.

As long as she joined, combined with Li Murou's almost unsolvable, abnormal control ability,

let alone ordinary dungeons, even high-difficulty nightmare dungeons, Chen Xi had the confidence to try them!

Chen Xi had three hundred percent confidence.

As long as he took Su Xiaoxiao to personally experience that feeling of crushing, unstoppable, fast-clearing pleasure once, she would definitely believe every word he said!

And willingly join his team officially!

"Hmm..."

Chen Xi's proposal made Su Xiaoxiao fall into deep thought.

In her ice-blue eyes, a light of contemplation flickered.

Trying it out... it didn't seem impossible.

Anyway, because of the team disbanding recently, she hadn't been to a dungeon for a while, and her hands were already itching.

Moreover, this Professional named Chen Xi in front of her seemed to really have a mysterious charm that made people unable to fathom him.

The words that came out of his mouth made people feel inexplicably at ease.

Anyway... idle is idle...

why not... just play along with you guys!

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully, which counted as tacitly agreeing to Chen Xi's proposal.

Seeing her nod, the corners of Chen Xi's mouth rose slightly:

"Very good! Then there's no time like the present, let's go now!"

"I am very confident that as long as you clear a dungeon with us once, you will definitely want to join us!"

Seeing his impatient look, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity in her heart.

She turned her head and looked at this Room 301 stronghold, which had carried all her joys and sorrows over the past month, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.

"To be honest, I am a very sentimental person. This Room 301 has carried all my memories over the past month, and I really... don't want to just move out like this."

As she spoke, she actually took the initiative to put the cardboard box in her arms back at the door of her room.

Then she turned around, made a "please" gesture to Chen Xi and Li Murou:

"Let's go. Feel free to take me to try it out."

"I hope I will really fall in love with the feeling of teaming up with you guys for a dungeon!"
