Chapter 106 Grouping

The three quickly arrived near the teleportation array. A group of more than ten people was gathered there, surrounding a beautiful woman in blue armor with a fiery figure, as if she were the moon surrounded by stars.

"Sister Yu Lan, they're here," Yaoyao said, walking to the woman's side.

The two beauties complemented each other, creating a captivating scene.

"Am I having a lucky day? Running into beauties as soon as I step out. A feast for the eyes, a feast for the eyes," Tang Yao muttered to himself. He was a hopeless lecher who loved to look at beautiful women. But he also understood that most of these beauties wouldn't give him a second glance, so he just looked.

"Hello," Yu Lan greeted Nie Yan and Tang Yao, sizing up Nie Yan. Although his appearance was slightly immature, he was very composed, with a calm and unhurried demeanor. More importantly, he exuded a decisive aura. Yu Lan had seen a lot of people, and Nie Yan clearly possessed the qualities of some of the experts she knew. As for the fatty beside Nie Yan, she couldn't see anything special about him.

"Hello," Nie Yan nodded. Yu Lan's azure armor perfectly outlined her model-like figure. The hollow part of her chest revealed a deep cleavage. Her entire body exuded a fatal and alluring wildness. Without a doubt, Yu Lan had the best figure of all the women Nie Yan had ever seen. Coupled with her beautiful face, she was simply deadly.

However, Nie Yan wasn't interested in her.

Tang Yao's eyes were a little stuck. Compared to Yaoyao, Yu Lan was more in line with his aesthetic preferences.

"Be careful, this beauty is someone even I wouldn't dare to provoke," Nie Yan privately messaged Tang Yao.

"Y-you... hello," Tang Yao greeted Yu Lan somewhat restrainedly.

Nie Yan was dumbfounded. Tang Yao was usually unrestrained in front of women, a natural people-person. Today, he was shy for the first time. Did the sun rise in the west?

"Let's get ready and go to the dungeon together. We can talk about things on the way," Yu Lan always valued efficiency and didn't want to waste any more time here.

"As we agreed before, I'll be the leader, and everyone will listen to my arrangements," Nie Yan said to Yu Lan, his gaze sharp and firm.

"Yes," Yu Lan nodded and turned to her teammates. "I'm disbanding the team. Nie Yan will invite you in a moment. He's the leader from now on, so listen to his arrangements!"

The teammates immediately started discussing. They were unfamiliar with Nie Yan, and they were reluctant to take orders from a stranger.

"Yu Lan, why should we listen to him? What if he doesn't know anything and we get wiped?" The speaker was Chen Bo. Nie Yan's close relationship with Yaoyao made him feel threatened, and he developed a strong hostility towards Nie Yan.

Nie Yan wasn't unfamiliar with Chen Bo. It was said that he was Yu Lan's classmate and was very familiar with her. He had been pursuing Yu Lan, but then he met Yaoyao, and things became even more chaotic. He liked all beautiful women and didn't know whether to pursue Yaoyao or Yu Lan. He treated Yu Lan and Yaoyao as his private property and didn't want anyone to get close to them, but Yu Lan and Yaoyao didn't like him, so he didn't get either of them. He was just a young master who fell in love with every woman he saw, but he didn't have much ability. That was all.

He was a tragic figure in his previous life, and it seemed he would still be a tragic figure in this life after meeting Nie Yan.

"You are?"

"My name is Chen Bo."

"Chen Bo, oh, so you're Brother Chen Bo," Nie Yan said, drawing out his voice in a sudden realization.

"I said my name is Chen Bo, the Chen next to the ear, the Bo of vastness," Chen Bo said impatiently.

"I'm talking about chenbo (morning wood), I didn't say anything wrong, did I?" Nie Yan asked Tang Yao innocently.

Tang Yao clearly saw that Nie Yan wanted to mess with Chen Bo. He was already laughing uncontrollably in his stomach, but he suppressed his laughter and said, "That's right, you didn't say anything wrong, it's chenbo." Tang Yao even emphasized the two words chenbo.

But the smiles in Nie Yan and Tang Yao's eyes clearly said that they were talking about a different chenbo.

Even the dumbest person would have understood. Yaoyao's cheeks flushed, and she glared at Nie Yan reproachfully. This guy was too bad; he shouldn't be mocking people like that.

Most people were very reserved in front of Yaoyao and Yu Lan. Nie Yan was straightforward and frank, which didn't cause her to feel disgusted. On the contrary, she felt that Nie Yan wasn't like Chen Bo and others, who were two-faced and too hypocritical.

Yu Lan also couldn't help but smile. Seeing that Chen Bo was about to get angry, she quickly played peacemaker and said, "Forget it, it's just a joke. Nie Yan, start inviting people."

Nie Yan sent team invitations to all the members, including Chen Bo.

Chen Bo showed signs of getting angry.

Nie Yan restrained his expression and said sternly, "I'm the leader from now on. While you're in my team, you must absolutely obey orders. If anyone disagrees, you can come to me afterward. If anyone doesn't want to join, you can leave at any time. We can find other people. If anyone messes around or disobeys in secret, even if we get wiped in the dungeon, you're the ones who will suffer. Losing 20% experience will probably take a while to recover."

While Nie Yan was speaking, his sharp gaze swept across the entire field. He had the aura of a leader, and no one dared to meet his eyes. The team members discussed for a moment and clicked accept.

System: Yu Lan has joined your team.

System: Yaoyao has joined your team.

System: Mineral Water has joined your team.

......

Nie Yan was very imposing. Yu Lan looked at Nie Yan, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. Perhaps Nie Yan could really lead them through the Tree Spirit Forest dungeon.

Yu Lan said seriously, "From now on, Leader Nie Yan's orders are my orders. If anyone doesn't obey or leaves, they won't be part of our team anymore."

The team members immediately quieted down. Yu Lan's order was extremely strict for them. After teaming up for so long, they were very familiar with each other and had established good friendships with the people around them. If they left the team, where would they go? Even if they found a new team, it would be extremely difficult to find a twenty-person team that could clear the Tree Spirit Forest dungeon!

Chen Bo's expression was slightly dissatisfied, and he was about to speak.

Yu Lan glanced at him sharply, and Chen Bo swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

System: Chen Bo has joined your team.

"Now that we've already formed a team, don't blame me for kicking anyone who doesn't obey orders. Our goals are the same: to clear the dungeon together. It's all for those few pieces of equipment. If things go smoothly, we can get a few more pieces of equipment. If something goes wrong, everyone will lose 20% experience. If anyone secretly sabotages us, the whole team will hold them accountable. The people next to you are all your teammates! There's no need to make things difficult for yourselves. If I give a wrong command or make a mistake, I'll give you ten silver coins as compensation!" Nie Yan scanned the entire field, staring at Chen Bo.

If it weren't for the Featherfall Gem dropped by the Expert-level Tree Spirit King, Nie Yan wouldn't have bothered coming here.

Many players in the team were very dissatisfied with Nie Yan, but they had to admit that Nie Yan was right. If they insisted on making things difficult for Nie Yan, they would be making things difficult for themselves. It was harmful and unhelpful, so why bother? They could only listen to Nie Yan for the time being. If Nie Yan gave a wrong command or made a mistake, it was already generous of Nie Yan to offer ten silver coins as compensation.

"We've already been wiped twice in the Tree Spirit Forest. Getting wiped in a dungeon isn't anything unusual. Even the elite teams of those big guilds get wiped often. We're going to the Tree Spirit Forest as a process of exploration. As for those ten silver coins, we can't possibly let Brother Nie Yan pay." The main shield warrior of the team, White Water, spoke up, which was considered fair.

The team members also echoed his sentiments, and their impression of Nie Yan improved somewhat.
