"If people still value my experience in the Xuanxian Sect, then they should have more faith in my judgment."
Kiyono's hearty laughter and tone came from the other side, "So, you and everyone else think I was blind?"
"No, I support Kiyono-sensei."
"Qingye feels like he's been deceived by Goufeng."
"Oh no, could it be that Goufeng is involved in something illegal? We really got fooled by Qingye!"
"Since Boss Qingye trusts me so much, then I'll make a fool of myself. Boss, please send me your war sandbox account so I can take a look at Boss Qingye's team first."
As he spoke, Li Ji turned off half of the live stream screen.
After all, a team is generally someone else's private information. When he looks at other people's teams, he will expose their skills and operator names, which is not good.
So half of the screen was covered to prevent information from being leaked.
"Okay, I'll send it to you from the backend."
As Qingye sent the account to Li Ji, Li Ji quickly logged into Qingye's war sandbox.
The team above only had nine people, not even reaching full strength.
Moreover, the team consisted of scattered elite Tier 1 members, with only two members being elite Tier 2.
And in the substitute positions below, there were an astonishing three elite Tier 1 players.
Just as Li Ji was wondering how such a team could reach the upper echelon of the second tier, he saw Qingye's profession—Summoner.
Elite Tier 2 Summoner, Clear the Wilds.
"No wonder he didn't fill the team to the maximum size."
Since summoned creatures also occupy a certain number of deployment slots, it is reasonable to select some people to go out and take a break from the limited functional slots.
At least you don't have to concentrate so much in the cracks, and it's easier to replace any operators who become mentally scattered.
"So, can the streamer tell me what my team is still lacking?"
Kiyono chuckled, "By the way, let me share some top-secret information in the streamer's live broadcast room. Actually, we're already good enough to be promoted to the first tier, but I just feel that our strength is still insufficient."
"If I can fill the gap with a suitable operator, I should be able to upgrade the team's tier."
Kiyono's message was like a depth charge, reviving the previously subdued online comments.
"Holy crap, they went from a random team to the top tier in just three months!"
"Is this really something a human could do?"
"This can't be real, right? This is the power of a star operator?"
"Lao Feng, I feel like he's humiliating you. We Feng Xin Tang can't take it anymore."
However, Li Ji was not so surprised.
It could be because he wasn't familiar with the promotion system and process, or it could be because he knew too much about the game Arknights.
The absurdity of this rapid advancement felt to him like Jeston evolving into an aerial Jeston or a beast-form Jeston.
Surprised, but only slightly.
"Well... let me take a look."
Li Ji looked at Qingye's team composition: Medic, Guard, Heavy, Special Forces, Vanguard, Sniper...
The Sentinel is a Lord template and the Vanguard template, and neither of them has spell damage skills.
That means Qingye should be the team's main source of magic damage.
All other classes, except for Heavy and Guardian, are single classes.
Some of the pressure on the healers is then borne by the healer shield in the double-armor system.
Moreover, in the current team composition, the main problem is that the jungler is a summoner who needs a certain deployment position to realize the cycle of skill chains.
The team still lacks magic damage.
He then opened the team role assignments that Qingye had configured, which clearly recorded what each person in their team should do.
"You actually believe me, showing me this..."
Li Ji sighed and then turned to Qingye to tell him about the team's situation.
"Based on the host's understanding, are there any recommended candidates?"
Qingye didn't say anything, trusting Li Ji's understanding completely. He smiled and said to Li Ji, "If there is one, I can ask my teammates to go online and play any map. But I can't go online, so I can only rely on Wanfeng's legendary command."
"Personnel selection? Commander?"
However, just as Li Ji was wondering why Qingye would ask such a question.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the duties of the clearing team in the latest assignment column.
The command position was now vacant.
He then recalled that he had just discovered that Qingye's team lacked a warlock to deal short-range spell damage.
And his solo 4-4 performance just happened to become a trending video today...
Li Ji immediately understood why a star operator like Qingye would ask him to team up with her.
"Good, good, good, good, this is a brilliant plan! It's hitting me right in the face! It means I'm going to take command while he takes a backseat and focuses on operations!"
Thinking of this, Li Ji immediately agreed to Kiyono's request without hesitation.
"The operator you're missing, I happen to have a suitable one in my team, call your teammate online."
Li Ji thought for a moment, then added, "If my teammates' skill set meets your standards, you can publicly recruit them based on that skill set. What do you think, Boss Qingye?"
Isn't your team just lacking short-range spell burst damage?
Li Ji is really something else.
But whether or not they can be found after clearing the field is no longer Li Ji's concern.
Chapter Seventeen: Silent Texas
Yan Kingdom, Wanghai Villa District.
As the largest villa district within the Yan Kingdom's safe zone, it stands on the coastline where the safe zone meets the danger zone, resembling a fortress on the battlefield.
From a distance, its outline is clearly visible where the blue sky meets the sea. On one side are long, flat roads and bustling safe zones, and on the other side is the boundless sea and war-torn borderlands.
This place is also the base of many teams in the Yan Kingdom.
As an indispensable force for protecting the security zone, the vast majority of teams will be stationed here.
The White Night Hymn team is one of the teams stationed here.
At this moment, the entire team sat together, watching Qingye's plan proceed step by step.
"Boss Kiyono, you're just going to invite him like this?"
“I told you, I’d give him a try.” Kiyono slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip. “But it seems his willingness… isn’t particularly strong yet. At least he’s already showing signs of backing out.”
Kiyono wasn't surprised by the answer; he had only wanted to give it a try.
He had considered that the video might not just be a job application, but could also be a public recruitment for a commander.
Since they have this talent, they must have their own ideas, and it's normal that they don't want to live under someone else's roof.
"However, I am quite interested in this short-axis spell burst. Since it is an operator who can deal with Kiyono, there must be something special about it."
The fifth brother watched Li Ji's live stream with some anticipation and said.
"Stop joking around. Boss Qingye has been in Xuanxiandao for so long, what hasn't he seen?" A tall, thin man scoffed, crossing his legs and saying disdainfully, "If it weren't for his command ability and wanting to come and try him out, who would want to see his operators?"
Kiyono is, after all, a star operator from the top team in Yan Kingdom, Xuanxiandao. She has seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, operators and skills.
The people in the team now are all talents he selected after a long period of careful consideration.
He was very satisfied with both the skill set and the talent.
As it happened, some things came up, and I left the Suspended Immortal Path.
That's what led to everything we have now.
"Hunter's Candle, be quiet."
Kiyono gestured for the tall, thin man to be quiet. "It's because I've raised you all to such heights that you have the right to be arrogant now. I don't want to hear such words from you again until you fully understand a person."
Kiyono was also helpless. This was one of the troubles that came with being promoted too quickly. Newcomers inevitably became proud of their current achievements.
But he couldn't keep his team stuck at the lowest level forever.
This time, he almost single-handedly completed the second-to-first-level challenge, only bringing one guard and one special agent to occasionally block any enemies that slipped through.
Their team still needs to gel, and he needs to constantly work on the relationships and character of the team members.
Therefore, he did not try to promote the team to the first tier, but instead chose to let the team settle down in the second tier for a while, at least to correct the mindset of the newcomers.
This is his duty as captain.
"Go and get ready. We don't know which map Wanfeng will choose in a while, but whatever it is, you have to cooperate well."
Kiyono said very seriously this time, just like he usually does when he's pioneering, "If I find anyone deliberately slacking off, the team rules will punish them severely."
