Chapter 1072 - 1072: Brother Cheng's Recruitment Criteria
Ah, what?Even those at the Emperor Realm Seventh Layer wouldn't consider joining this most handsome strong team?
Brother Cheng felt his charm value drop further, making him even more distressed.
Wasn't it supposed to be that when the protagonist stood up, everyone else would bow down?
"Oh well, there's no choice then, seems like we'll have to do it that way."
What way?
Seeing the big shot looking at him, Lai Ping was a bit scared.
He quickly pleaded, "Captain, please... don't kick me out, I am truly loyal..."
Brother Cheng looked speechless, "When did I ever say I was going to kick you out?"
He smiled and patted Lai Ping's shoulder.
"You're such a clever and capable person, the first one to join the team, my right-hand man, how could I possibly kick you out?"
"Don't worry, I just want you to recruit three people."
Lai Ping was moved to tears by these words.
"But, it might be difficult for them to agree..."
Brother Cheng shrugged, "If those at Emperor Realm Seventh and Eighth Layers aren't willing, those at Emperor Realm Fourth and Fifth Layers should be, right?"
"Forget it, you might not be able to manage those at the Fourth and Fifth Layers, so just recruit three below Emperor Realm Third Layer."
"This..."
Lai Ping twitched his lips, speechless for a moment.
Anyone below Emperor Realm Third Layer is definitely willing to join your team.
Because they're not as strong as me, they have no reason to complain about being dragged down.
With a big shot like you at Emperor Realm Eighth Layer leading, they don't know how happy they'll be.
But the problem is, with that setup, you'd be the only one able to fight, while the other four are all weaklings.
Can this team survive on the front lines?
"Are you sure about this, Captain? Maybe I should try harder. If I can't recruit at the Seventh Layer, there's still hope for Emperor Realm Sixth Layer."
Brother Cheng waved his hand, "I'm the captain, so do as I say. We don't want anyone stronger!"
He understood.
Even if you recruit some people at Emperor Realm Eighth and Ninth Layers, they're just decorative numbers for him.
Moreover, those at Emperor Realm Eighth and Ninth Layers can be troublesome, better to keep it simple with Emperor Realm Second and Third Layers.
Anyway, Brother Cheng never needed teammates' help; he's fine fighting alone.
Lai Ping, helpless, could only comply.
Compared to the previous troublesome recruiting attempt, this was a total opposite.
When he announced to those below Emperor Realm Third Layer immortals that the team was recruiting with an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer big shot leading, these minor immortals almost went crazy.
Soon, Lai Ping was surrounded completely.
"Pick me, pick me!"
"Recruit me, I'll definitely follow the big shot's rhythm!"
"Upper Immortal, pick me, I'm very useful!"
"Upper Immortal, look at me, I can warm the big shot's bed..."
No way, those at Emperor Realm Third Layer and below are basically cannon fodder at the front line.
Unless they have some special skills.
Like abilities in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman Array, otherwise they rarely get a chance to contribute to the Celestial Palace, hardly any way to earn Celestial Dao Points.
They don't expect to become Immortal Officials; just being an odd-job worker would satisfy them.
And now there's an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer big shot leading, how could they not seize the opportunity?
In just a moment, Lai Ping's side became the liveliest spot in the hall, attracting a lot of attention.
Even Brother Cheng was startled.
Seeing so many eager to join the team, Brother Cheng immediately regained confidence.
Looks like Brother Cheng's charm hasn't diminished!
He quickly sent a voice message to Lai Ping, asking him to bring them over for selection in person.
This group immediately flocked to him.
"Upper Immortal, recruit me!"
"Upper Immortal, pick me, I'm top-tier in Emperor Realm Third Layer!"
"Upper Immortal, I'm Emperor Realm Fifth Layer, definitely qualifying your criteria!"
Hearing this, Brother Cheng frowned.
"What's going on? Didn't I say only below Emperor Realm Third Layer? Why is someone from Emperor Realm Fifth Layer here?"
Lai Ping quickly apologized.
"Captain, I mentioned it before, maybe they misunderstood."
"Alright then."
Brother Cheng waved his hand, indicating the crowd to quiet down.
He then cleared his throat and addressed everyone: "Here's the thing, our First Handsome Team only recruits below Emperor Realm Third Layer."
He then looked apologetically at the Emperor Realm Fifth Layer guy.
"Sorry, little brother, your realm is too high, doesn't fit our requirements."
As soon as he said this, the crowd was in uproar.
Those below Emperor Realm Third Layer naturally rejoiced.
Those at Fourth and Fifth Layers were crestfallen, while the surrounding Seventh and Eighth Layer immortals were puzzled.
What kind of bizarre recruitment standard is this?
Anyone recruiting always sets not lower than a certain layer.
But you turn it around, not higher than Emperor Realm Third Layer.
For a moment, the higher realm immortals around began buzzing with discussions.
"Is he crazy?"
"If not crazy, then dumb."
"Intentionally picking weak ones, I suspect he's doing this on purpose as a joke."
Especially the teams by Golden Tiger and Ba Yun, previously rejected by Brother Cheng, were now openly mocking.
"Thought those from the King-level Dojo would be outstanding, but they're so unreliable, completely messing around."
"Good thing we didn't recruit him, otherwise there'd definitely be trouble later."
"This guy isn't right in the head."
"With such a terrible team, surely he'll hide in the back without fighting."
"Well, once on the front lines, it won't be up to him anymore."
"Even with good talent, carrying four weaklings, they're definitely no match for those evil immortals."
"Prepare to watch the spectacle!"
Having been rejected by Jiang Cheng before, they felt slighted and now eagerly waited for his embarrassment.
However, those below Emperor Realm Third Layer didn't think like that.
No matter how crazy this big shot acts, he's still at Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.
Fighting against Evil Immortals of Emperor Realm Seventh or Sixth Layer, he can surely handle it alone, right?
One head of an Emperor Realm Seventh Layer Evil Immortal is worth 300 Celestial Dao Points, after all.
A team gets an extra 10%, which means 30 points, so in a five-person team, one could get 6 Celestial Dao Points.
That's 6 Celestial Dao Points!
If not on the front lines fighting, trying to earn 6 Celestial Dao Points in the rear Immortal City would take millions of years.
So no matter what, hugging this big shot's thigh definitely pays off!
"I fully feel everyone's enthusiasm."
Looking at the nearly thousand participants gathered in front, Brother Cheng felt delighted.
"Unfortunately, we only have three spots available, so we'll need a selection process."
Lately, after hearing about assessments, he finally has a chance to evaluate others.
Hearing this, those at Emperor Realm Third Layer immediately puffed out their chests and exclaimed, "Upper Immortal, go ahead and test us!"
"Is it a test of strength?"
"Or a test of talent?"
"I guess Upper Immortal wants to test loyalty and obedience!"
Brother Cheng thought to himself that he's not like the Celestial Palace, he doesn't test those redundant things.
"Here's the deal, each of you gives a suggestion to me."
"If it's reasonable, I'll consider letting you join first."
