Chapter 324: Eligibility for Entry

Cheng Shuili watches, and it seems the system is up to something again.

She ponders for a moment and posts a notice in the faction channel.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "Everyone stay calm. This isn't the first time the system treats us differently; since it's only targeting us, it means we have the qualification to enter, so just keep moving forward."

After sending that message, she immediately posts another.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "It's a blessing, not a disaster; a disaster can't be avoided. But even if it's a disaster, we Black Feather can twist it into a blessing. Do what you're supposed to do; the sky won't fall."

The system's faction channel carries a tag.

For example, in the two messages Cheng Shuili sent, her name is followed by the four characters "faction leader".

This feature is actually rather useless; not to mention Long Guo Region 12, there are hardly any players on the whole server who don't know Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, right?

Yet the little badge looks quite nice.

Cheng Shuili keeps the faction channel open and waits a bit.

Perhaps it's the first time in this cursed place to receive encouragement and clear advice; after the faction channel's odd silence for a long while, someone finally takes the lead and says: "Thanks, Lao Da."

That message sounded like a horn, and the people behind it sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain, each earnestly expressing their thoughts.

"Got it! Keep driving! What does the system want to do? We just do our own thing and that's it!"

"Lao Da is right! The system's differential treatment actually shows how awesome we are!! I now think joining Black Feather is the best decision I've ever made."

"Just starting? I've already been sure!"

"Exactly! No need to panic, just follow Lao Da and that's it!"

"I was a bit confused earlier, now I'm clear. It's just that we don't have a chest; maybe there's a big one ahead waiting!"

"Go, go, go! Those who should drive, drive; those who should act, act! Anyone who hasn't visited the territory can go check it out, it's truly uplifting..."

The atmosphere noticeably shifts.

Cheng Shuili is very satisfied; it's great that she doesn't have to do anything, just a few words can boost morale.

For a while the faction channel is harmonious; most people are chatting while driving, and some who entered the territory for the first time comment on Black Feather's depth.

But at that moment, a somewhat aggressive message pops up.

【Potato bro】: "Lao Da, anyone can say flattering words. You promised information sharing for Black Feather; why haven't you disclosed what the next disaster is? Also, since you said the sky won't fall, you should give us some insight. Don't just paint empty promises; the big guys have no clue, how can we risk our lives for you?"

Cheng Shuili looks at the abrupt, clearly provocative message, her eyebrows slightly raised.

The lively atmosphere in the faction channel is suddenly doused like a bucket of cold water, instantly freezing.

Cheng Shuili looks at the provocative message, a faint smile tugging at her mouth. She shows no emotion, and instead replies in the faction channel at a leisurely pace.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "@Potato bro, good question. First, information sharing isn't the same as real‑time broadcasting. Intel needs verification and organization; tossing unverified panic at you is irresponsible. Second, insight? I can tell you now that the insight is Black Feather's strength, and the fact that I am part of Black Feather. Do you still think this is empty promises?"

Without waiting for Potato bro to rebut, her second message follows immediately.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "As for the term 'risking one's life', I dislike it. Black Feather recruits comrades who fight side‑by‑side, not mercenaries bargaining for pay. If you're already dissatisfied, only after securing benefits before working, submit an application, contribute 250 units of supplies, and you may leave at any time."

The third message's tone softens slightly, but carries heavier weight.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "If you're willing to stay, put away suspicion, do what you're supposed to do; when it's time for you to know, you'll naturally know. Black Feather never shortchanges its own, but we have no time to pamper a giant infant. Now, does anyone still have questions?"

The faction channel falls into dead silence; the earlier camaraderie is replaced by a more weighty, grim cohesion.

Seconds later, the screen starts flooding with messages.

"No problem! Lao Da!"

"Keep up with Lao Da's pace!"

"Stop the baseless questioning, I'm already committed!"

"250 supplies, hahaha, Lao Da is so yin‑yang!"

"Actually maybe it's not yin‑yang? How many people want to get in but can't, and those who want to quit aren't about 250, what is it?"

Such scenes have become frequent; Cheng Shuili no longer feels much.

She's now more curious about what's up with Potato bro; even with low emotional intelligence, no one would confront the boss with words on the first day of joining the group.

Cheng Shuili furrows her brows and searches this ID in her private chat page.

Finding no results, she immediately senses something's wrong.

All members entered after a private‑chat interview with Cheng Shuili, so there shouldn't be an ID that can't be found!

Moreover… the purpose of that statement is obvious from the wording: it's to obtain internal information of Black Feather.

What's going on?

Did Guanghui pull the wrong person?

The small group suddenly gets a message notification.

【Ai Mi Li】: "@Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, Lao Da, did you personally invite this Potato bro into the faction?"

She also noticed the problem?

Cheng Shuili raises a slight eyebrow and asks, "What's up?"

【Ai Mi Li】: "I was just with Zhou Zhuxing, saw the faction channel messages and showed her. I wanted to mock this person, and Zhou Zhuxing firmly said that none of the two of us who were interviewed have that ID."

That makes it interesting.

The ones interviewed together, Zhou Zhuxing is especially certain.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "Do you have any recollection of this ID?"

Ailin scratches her head, a bit embarrassed.

She's a commander, and having interviewed so many people, how could she remember who's who?

But since the question came from Lao Da, she can't be that blunt.

Ailin thinks for a moment and simply changes the subject.

【Ai Mi Li】: "Zhou Zhuxing says, Lao Da, you could check the list of the second‑round interviews on your side to see how this person slipped in."

Yeah...

How did it get mixed in?

Cheng Shuili went over the whole recruitment process and felt the problem might be with Guanghui.

【Guanghui Shining on Blue Star】: I'm being wronged, Lao Da!

【Guanghui Shining on Blue Star】: I strictly followed the list you gave me, sending invitations one ID at a time. Qing Shan also helped me send a few; it must be that kid's fault!

Cheng Shuili clicked her tongue lightly, and a blue vein on her forehead twitched.

Now she should, according to Guanghui's statement, go find Qing Shan, but…

She is Lao Da! If we don't pressure Guanghui now, when will we?

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Ten minutes. Find the root of this matter.

Zhao Hong paused, tearfully replying, "Alright, Lao Da."
