This recruitment drive multiplied the size of Snow Fox Mercenary Corps, and fundamental staffing was basically complete. Although Xue Ling wanted to develop, he did not plan to accomplish it overnight. All the recruits had potential, and they had not yet formed their own habits when it came to using their abilities and basic combat routines. There was space for them to learn and grow, which was relatively more suitable for a mercenary corps at their current stage.

Normally, no one would be willing to let them rise up like this without doing anything. After all, the ability users in the base were all relatively loosely structured as no strong powerhouse was suppressing them. There were as many schemers as there were hairs on a cow, and it was easy for those who were selfish to become reckless with greed, willing to do anything for profit and their own interests. But the previous battle between Xue Ling and Xun Yu had been recorded and shown to to the leaders of the ability users' bases, so all of them put aside their foolish desires.

They did not dare to offend strong powerhouses like those two. After all, the strength of those two people was definitely enough to wipe out the entire Yanshan base.

After formally confirming the members that would be allowed to stay, Xue Ling held another competition internally. This time, everyone was categorized according to their strength, and then split into groups to fight. Those who could persevere until the end would become the leader of their group.

Such competitions would be held once a month. As long as one had the strength, they would be able to climb all the way up. This kind internal team management style made many people excited, and coupled with Xue Ling's generous benefits of providing both lodging and food, many people were firmly determined to pass the one-month probationary period.

Having roughly established the Corps' teams, Xue Ling placed the journey to Xingyue Mountains on the agenda.

Xingyue Mountains was the largest mountain range near Yanshan base. Because it had high mountains and dense forests, there were many zombie beasts hidden within. Some parts of the zombie beasts were edible, and people were willing to buy their nuclei in large quantities, so they had a very high value. The mercenary task board for Yanshan base often had tasks related to the zombie beasts of Xingyue Mountains. Xue Ling accepted most of them, and was preparing to assign them to each team according to their ability level.

He will guide them during this expedition so that they would learn the proper way of releasing their abilities in order achieve the greatest effect.

Well, first of all, he had to deal with another person.

Xue Ling looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly, his attitude very solemn, very much like a cold-faced boss' style. "Is there something?"

"I can't sit in your office if there's nothing?" Xun Yu raised his eyebrows and shifted his eyes from the décor in Xue Ling's office to his body.

"Yes." Xue Ling replied gravely.

"All right." The man's expression showed an instant of helplessness. His posture while sitting on the sofa was unusually stiff, his entire back straight and upright. "In that case, I did come to find you for something."

"Speak." In contrast, Xue Ling seemed to be even less verbose than the man. It was perhaps because of this attitude that the man became more talkative.
