The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 834 Not requiring self-sacrifice, but demanding utmost effort.
Lin Chen was stunned.

Make yourself the team leader?

"Are you all crazy? I'm just a Golden Core cultivator, and you're all Nascent Soul cultivators, or at the very least, Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivators. You want me, a Golden Core cultivator, to be your team leader..."

Zhu Yao put his arm around Lin Chen's shoulder and chuckled, "The key is that among our group, no one will be satisfied with whoever is the captain."

Lin Chen blinked, then suddenly understood. He asked with a strange expression, "So you're planning to find the weakest person to be the team leader? Because the weakest person can't afford to offend anyone and won't dare to have any ulterior motives, so they can be the most objective and fair?"

Zhu Yao snapped his fingers: "That's roughly the idea, but you're not as weak as you say. Although you might be a little weaker than us, your sword-wielding body can easily defeat a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Lin Chen's gaze swept over everyone: "Is that what you all think?"

Taiyi Sect's Xiao Rulong smiled and said, "That's right. The main problem is that no matter who becomes the captain here, no one will be convinced. After all, our sects have too many entanglements. Your background is the cleanest and simplest. Everyone has seen what kind of person you are. So we all agree that you should be the captain."

Lin Chen smiled wryly: "Yes, if I mess things up, you can kill me, the captain, anytime."

Long Yan'er smiled and said, "We believe that you can be fair and just as the captain. As long as you do this, everyone will support you. As for getting rid of you, that's impossible. Even if you mess around, at most we will stop listening to you, but we won't kill you."

Lin Chen thought about it and didn't refuse.

The True Dragon Secret Realm is extremely dangerous, and only by sticking together can one survive. Lin Chen dared not think that he was lucky enough to be able to conquer it all by himself. If he could team up with others, that would be much better.

Originally, Zhao Feiyu was the team leader, so Lin Chen naturally wouldn't have joined his team and might have formed another team. But now the situation has changed drastically, and everyone is willing to let him be the team leader, which is a great thing for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had served in the army for five years and participated in many military operations, so he was no stranger to being a team leader and assigning tasks for combat.

Understanding team members' abilities, placing them in the right positions, accurately predicting the danger of events, and making correct judgments—these are the tasks a team leader needs to accomplish.

"Of course I'd like to team up with everyone. If you all trust me, I'm all set. I can't say for sure about my abilities, but at least I can guarantee fairness and impartiality. After all, if I'm not fair and impartial, you're all welcome to beat me up."

Lin Chen's words immediately made everyone laugh. Zhu Yao smiled and said, "Since you agree, then this matter is settled. From now on, you are the captain of our Xihouzhou team."

Everyone expressed their agreement.

Lin Chen's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "I served in the military in the human realm and participated in many military operations. I also served as a squad leader. If I were to become the squad leader, I would manage the squad in the same way that soldiers march and fight. When I give you a combat mission, please do not hesitate or doubt. I have no grudges or interests with any of you, and I will not deliberately target or harm anyone. If a mission is assigned to you, it will be because I think you are the most suitable."

"I don't expect everyone to risk their lives for the team. After all, we're just cooperating, and no one wants to sacrifice themselves for others. I just ask everyone to give it their all when we're in action. If we still can't solve the problem, then we'll face it together."

Zhu Yao laughed and said, "That makes perfect sense, I support it!"

Taiyi Sect's Xiao Rulong replied affirmatively, "It is precisely because of the reasons you mentioned that we are willing to trust you to be the captain. And your previous experience as a military operations captain is even better, further proving that our choice was correct."

Mo Ri Zong Ji You nodded: "Since we have agreed to let you be the captain, we will naturally accept your orders. If you just want to hide and not do anything, and just want to coast along, then such a person is not qualified to stay in our team. Our team is full of elites, not trash."

Everyone expressed their agreement with Lin Chen's management philosophy.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Before the True Dragon Secret Realm next year, please arrive at the entrance of the secret realm half a month in advance so we can get to know each other and practice teamwork."

"Exploring secret realms is certainly for the purpose of gaining something, but my goal is not how much I can get, but that everyone can go in safely and come out safely."

Zhu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, half a month, right? I'll definitely be there on time."

Long Yan'er asked curiously, "There's still some time before the True Dragon Secret Realm opens. What are your plans?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Didn't I make a fortune selling the spirit spring? I've already bought enough of the remaining materials needed for the sword bone. In the next few months, I'll first complete the refining of my entire sword bone, and then see if I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Although I'm a bit of a drag on the team as the captain, I can't be too much of a hindrance, can I?"
