The guidance platform issued a signal to allow departure from the port, and the elevator slowly retracted towards the belly of the ship.
Probably because the number of team formations has been too frequent recently, the number of people recruited this time has dropped significantly.
Feng Man thought about the warning given by the being before he left last time, and felt anxious in his heart, but he was powerless.
It’s not like pioneers with three stars or above are born out of thin air. If you keep cutting off one crop after another like this, no matter how famous you are, it won’t last long.
But if you stop, you will be dead. Even if he ran too far away, he would not be able to avoid that person's detection, and would end up dying even worse - he already knew this.
When the belly compartment of the ship was about to close, two figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The man is tall and strong, with a scar on his face, while the woman is plain-looking, nothing surprising.
The three-star and above pioneers had heard of each other's names and deeds to some extent, but these two people seemed like two newcomers, and no one knew them.
The first time they appeared, Feng Man's source energy spread over them and explored the two of them.
They are all at the high level of the fourth level. They are at the bottom of this team and do not meet the requirements of that being.
"Both of you." He frowned and stepped forward: "We are a private land reclamation group. The time limit for registration has passed. Please leave."
"Captain Feng Man." The man's voice had a hint of laziness, as if he didn't take his expulsion of guests seriously at all:
"We are Huangquan Xinghuo. We have signed up before. Are you a noble person who forgets things too much and remembers things poorly?"
As soon as his words came out, all the pioneers suddenly realized that they were the Huangquan Spark Combination!
This combination is made up of a couple. Although their personal abilities are not outstanding, they work well together. They seem to have performed well in several famous wasteland reclamation tasks and are the best among the new generation.
However, no one can say exactly where they have explored and what abilities they are good at.
Even Feng Man himself suddenly recalled that this group had indeed signed up before, but for some reason, they were missed when they were counting the number of people just now.
Sure enough, due to the constant anxiety, my reaction has slowed down and my brain power has declined?
Moreover, the two of them clearly did not meet the requirements. What on earth did I think at that time that I could allow them to pass the qualification review?
Feng Man was confused, but he still arranged a room for the two of them, briefly explained some travel matters, and sent everyone back to rest.
He had jumped in line and was the one with the lowest ability level in the team, so he couldn't have been assigned a good cabin.
As soon as Ximu entered the hatch, he frowned in disgust, and was then dragged into the space by Tao Le with a smile.
In recent years, Xuanyi's relationship with Fallen Soul has gotten better and better, and he has also changed his view of Ximu, no longer resisting him as before.
What's more important is that over the years, Tao Le has mastered the Orb of Life like an arm and a leg. Whoever he wants to let in no longer needs anyone's permission.
The orb space is becoming more and more vast now, and the creatures are also diverse. Ximu caught a Songjiang perch, netted a bunch of small river shrimps, caught a black guinea fowl, picked a bunch of plump matsutake mushrooms, and carefully prepared several dishes.
Just as he was packing up his things to enjoy, he noticed movement outside the space.
It was time for lunch and everyone went to the restaurant.
After finally coming out once, Tao Le would not miss the opportunity to join in the fun, and Ximu would not spoil her fun.
The pioneers have all seen the worst environment, and their requirements for food are not high. What's more, the food on this ship is many times better than the empire's earlier years, so at first, no one thought there was anything wrong. question.
But as they ate, an indescribable aroma wafted into everyone's noses. This alluring taste derived from gourmet food was something they had never experienced in their lives, and it also eclipsed the bloodshot steak on the table.
Everyone's eyes were focused on a remote table.
Crispy dry-fried river prawns, plump steamed seabass, golden and rich matsutake chicken soup, plus two bowls of crystal clear, well-defined green rice.
He picked up the jade spoon with his slender fingers and scooped up a spoonful of oily chicken soup and put it into his mouth. It was so delicious that Tao Le had a look of satisfaction on his face.
Ximu sat next to her, picked up a piece of plump fish belly and put it on her plate, his eyes full of love.
Several people came over. The leader, Duke, a four-star pioneer and mid-level sixth-level ability user, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't know that what you Huangquan Xinghuo is best at is actually cooking."
"That's no wonder. His level is obviously not high, but his previous reputation was pretty good."
Ximu held up a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of Tao Le's mouth, then raised his head and glanced across their faces lightly.
In the eyes of Duke and others, this person named Xia Huangquan was obviously very weak, but when he looked at him like this, they felt a very strange feeling out of thin air.
An inexplicable force kept shouting, making them involuntarily want to bend down and listen to each other's instructions respectfully, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
Duke shook his head vigorously, probably guessing what was going on.
The other party's ability is probably in the area of mental control. This is a very rare ability. It is not easy to improve, but it is quite practical.
Thinking of this, he put away his previous joking attitude, and his face showed a few solemn expressions of equality:
"The Xian couple may have misunderstood us. Excellent cooking skills are not something that everyone can learn, and they are naturally part of their strength. I sincerely hope that the two of you can join our team and act together when the time comes."
This situation is very common among pioneers. A pioneer group often spontaneously forms multiple teams to deal with different exploration tasks.
It's just that Duke's painstaking efforts were not understood by those around him.
"Brother, do you want to recruit the two of them into our team?" Pasha, a fifth-level high-level ability user, had a look of disbelief on his face.
She glanced at Tao Le and Xi Mu with disgust: "If they know how to cook, let them cook more and take them with them. Why bother carrying these two burdens?"
"That's right, Brother Duke, didn't we agree before that we wanted to talk to the Warren brothers again? Why did we suddenly change our minds?" Ai Gen, a sixth-level low-level ability user, also said.
Duke gently waved his hand and stopped their words: "Don't mind, you two. They are all straight-tempered. They didn't know you well enough before, so their words will inevitably be biased. I hereby guarantee that if the virtuous couple joins us, Team, then I will treat everyone equally."
"Why go to all this trouble." Ai Gen sat down on the seat opposite Tao Le. A ray of source energy went directly towards the fried shrimp set, and he said unceremoniously:
"This table of food belongs to us. As for you two, hurry up and cook a few more specialty dishes. If we, Mr. Du, are satisfied, we will still protect you even if we don't get a place." (End of Chapter)
