God of Pets

Chapter 116 The Bottom Team
"Ji Nanhong's card is more useful than I thought." Chen Guan smiled, but he was very satisfied with Shi Zhimen's reaction.

Although Chen Guan is not a person who bullies others by taking advantage of his power, he cannot endure hardship without doing so. If he insists on making himself look like a little white flower who has been oppressed and then argues with others, wouldn't that just be self-defeating?

Since it can make your life better, why not use it? Besides, Chen Guan didn't do anything. He just let Shi Zhimen take a look at Ji Nanhong's Paradise Meal Card.

"Thank you, Captain Shi. How about we just eat together as we're all family?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, let's eat together." Shi Zhimen was very happy to hear this. Knowing that Chen Guan did not care about what happened in the morning, he quickly introduced the other people in the team to Chen Guan.

Although Chen Guan couldn't be said to be very good at chatting, he didn't make people feel awkward. Coupled with Shi Zhimen's deliberate support, the few of them were having a great time.

snort!
When a few people were talking excitedly, they heard an inappropriate snort from the side.

Chen Guan didn't care at first, but when he saw Shi Zhimen and the others' faces changed and they glared at the table next to them, he looked over too.

I saw seven or eight people sitting at the table next to me, both men and women. Except for a young man who was eating by himself, everyone else was looking over here.

"Ximen Ding, what are you humming for?" Shi Zhimen said angrily with a gloomy face, staring at one of the handsome and tall men.

"I like to hum, I hum with joy, I hum with pleasure, what's it to you?" The man named Simon Ding said contemptuously.

"Are you looking for trouble?" Shi Zhimen and others were immediately furious and stood up to accuse Ximending.

"You say you want to find fault, so go ahead. What can you do? Why are you arguing with me here? If you have the ability, complete a task and let us see it, or get a rank in the competition to prove the strength of your bottom-ranked team. If I let you take first place, it would be unfair of me and I would have a bad character and not understand your difficulties. It's okay if you can get second to last, don't always be at the bottom. As long as you can do it, you can curse me when you see me in the future, and I won't say a word." Ximending hugged his shoulders fearlessly, not taking Shi Zhimen and others seriously at all.

"You..." Shi Zhimen was speechless for a moment.

But if I just let it go like this, I would feel embarrassed and feel awkward for a while.

"Okay, let's eat. We still have tasks to do after dinner. Don't waste time." The man who had been eating by himself stopped Ximending who was about to say something.

Ximending obediently lowered his head and began to eat. Shi Zhimen and other people from Team 17 also took the opportunity to sit down. Although they were all indignant, they didn't say anything. Their anger was somewhat suppressed and they were not as cheerful as before.

It was not until Ximending and his group left that Shi Zhimen and the others regained some of their composure.

"Captain Shi, what's going on? Do you have a grudge against those people?" Chen Guan asked at this time.

"I won't hide it from you. Our Team 17 is always at the bottom of the reserve team. Those guys are from Team 9. They are always in the top three in competitions. It's normal for them to look down on us." Shi Zhimen said.

"Captain Shi, we are all family. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide it. There must be some other reason, right?" Chen Guan felt that things were not that simple.

Shi Zhimen's face flushed, and he lowered his voice to Chen Guan, saying, "Most of the brothers in our 17th team have parents and elders who are veterans of the Heavenly Court Army. They used some tricks to send us brothers here. This kind of thing is normal in the reserve team, but families with real ability usually send their children to stronger teams. It's because we have some connections, but not so good ones, and we spent money to get in, but our abilities are average, so we are assigned to our team."

After hearing this, Chen Guan understood that the teammates of Team 17 all had average backgrounds and abilities, and they had paid money to join.

So, from the beginning, Shi Zhimen didn't take Chen Guan seriously. Anyone who made it to Team 17 didn't have any real connections. "Those people in Team 9 are all specially recruited geniuses, and they look down on us the most. But they're talented, and we can't beat them, so there's nothing we can do," Bu Changning said gloomily.

"We are all related after all. If we can't fight openly, can we fight secretly?" Chen Guan asked doubtfully. They are all descendants of the old Heavenly Court Army, so they must be related in some way.

"How can we possibly win? Most of the geniuses who were specially recruited here have good backgrounds. Some even come from the top ten families. As for Jiang Tianqing, who is from the Jiang family, how can we afford to offend him?" Shi Zhimen revealed all the details of Team 9.

After listening for a while, Chen Guan finally had a complete understanding of his current situation.

Team 17, the bottom team of the reserve team, has been at the bottom of the competition for seven consecutive years. No one with real ability is willing to come here to be the team leader. In these seven years, countless captains have been replaced, and members have come and gone, but no one has been able to change the current situation of Team 17.

The previous team leader was transferred because he was dissatisfied with the bottom-ranked team because they couldn't even complete the mission and earn points. Now the team leader position of Team 17 is still vacant, and the team is temporarily led by the deputy team leader Shi Zhimen.

Due to its limited strength and the lack of a captain, the bottom team now finds it difficult to complete fixed tasks, and the monthly task volume does not meet the standard. This is unique among the reserve teams, not to mention competing for a ranking in the competition.

After listening to this, Chen Guan understood why he was assigned to this team. This must be Ji Nanhong's intention. She probably wanted him to be the team leader.

Only by becoming a team leader can you be noticed by the higher-ups. If the team performs well, it will be of great help in joining the Heavenly Court Army in the future.

The captains of other teams either have a certain status or are extremely capable. If you go to other teams, you don’t know how long it will take before you can become a captain.

Although Team 17 is bad, they can directly serve as team leaders, which is something other teams cannot compare to.

Chen Guan thought this was not bad. He wanted to move to a higher position, and this starting point was just right.

"Okay, now that you're full, let's go about our own business. Chen Guan, I'll continue teaching you riding and marching. If you don't mind, I have some riding tips of my own that I can teach you." Shi Zhimen asked the others to leave and took Chen Guan to the stables.

"Doesn't our team have any mission now?" Chen Guan asked.

"Of course there is a mission, but it can't be completed anyway, so there's no rush." ​​Shi Zhimen said indifferently.

Chen Guan chatted with Shi Zhimen casually while receiving instruction in horse riding from Shi Zhimen. It was very pleasant. It was not as tiring as in the morning, but he could really learn something.

"Captain Shi, your riding skills are really good, quite something." Chen Guan was a little surprised. Shi Zhimen's riding skills were quite good, and indeed unique.

"My family runs a pet arena. I've been riding all kinds of pets since I was a kid, so my riding skills are pretty good," Shi Zhimen said proudly.

After practicing for a while, Chen Guan asked about the mission again, and Shi Zhimen explained it to him in detail.

Each team has fixed tasks every month. Only by completing these tasks can they obtain all the welfare resources every month, especially some qi-replenishing pills, which are very helpful for cultivation.

Since the loss of their captain, they have failed to complete their fixed tasks every month. Last month, they only completed one fixed task and received less than one-tenth of the pills.
