Chapter 251: Chapter 155: Personnel and Team Arrangements! A Clear Reward and Punishment System! Contribution Determines Everything

"I will be leading this division. It is the core strength of our entire team, and the people standing beside me are the first members of the Combat Division."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jun and Huang Mao exchanged a smile, hastily puffing out their chests with faces full of pride.

As for Wang Biao, Jia Wen, Qi Zhen, Ning Yu, and even Zhang Meng, they were more composed. Even if they felt a secret thrill, they wouldn’t let it show on their faces.

They remained standing on either side, maintaining their imposing demeanor as they looked down at the crowd...

What Chen Chong didn’t state explicitly was that while not all core members were in the Combat Division, every member of the Combat Division was absolutely a core member of the team!

This was the case for Xu Jun, Wang Biao, Jia Wen, Qi Zhen, Zhang Meng, and the others.

Zhong Fang, as one of the first to join the team, was deeply trusted and exceptionally capable. Even though his combat strength wasn’t enough to get him into the Combat Division, Chen Chong still considered him a core member.

In the future, he would be responsible for crucial matters like the team’s data analysis and profit calculation, making him an undeniable member of the inner circle.

As Chen Chong finished, the crowd’s gazes all turned toward Xu Jun, Wang Biao, and the others, their eyes filled with envy.

The images of them slaying Bloodthirsty Vines and Parasites in the square yesterday were already deeply seared into everyone’s minds.

It was obvious why they were members of the Combat Division.

No one was foolish enough to ask what the requirements were to join the Combat Division. It was painfully obvious you needed to be at least a Transcendent.

After all, the Combat Division had to face the dangers of the outside world and its Extraordinary Creatures directly. For anyone lacking the necessary strength, joining would be a death sentence.

"The Hunting Division will be responsible for going out to search for resources and food. In the future, it will also be the largest division in the team."

"The Logistics Division will manage all affairs within the stadium, such as treating injuries in the infirmary, operating the information exchange station, guarding the stadium, and sorting supplies. These are all tasks for the Logistics Division."

The division of labor among the three divisions was crystal clear. After Chen Chong’s explanation, no one was foolish enough to be confused.

Simply put: the Combat Division fights our enemies, the Logistics Division defends our home, and the Hunting Division finds our food. Each has its own role to play!

Just then, a team member from the crowd below spoke up cautiously.

"Brother Chong, I... can I ask a few questions?"

Chen Chong nodded. "Ask away. If anyone has any questions, you can ask them now, and I will answer each one."

Upon hearing this, many people breathed a secret sigh of relief.

His actions in the square yesterday had already established his cold and stern image.

In their eyes, Chen Chong was ruthless and decisive, a man of few words and fewer smiles. He didn’t seem like an approachable person.

Now, it seemed that their initial impression wasn’t entirely accurate...

"These three divisions—is joining voluntary, or will you be assigning us, Brother Chong?"

Chen Chong was blunt. "Aside from the Combat Division, which has strict requirements, joining the Logistics and Hunting Divisions is voluntary."

"But let me be clear up front: the Logistics Division handles internal affairs, so the risks are relatively low. Correspondingly, the points you can earn are far less than in the Hunting Division."

"If you want to exchange for more supplies, improve your standing, or even obtain Ability Cards and the flesh of Extraordinary Creatures, I recommend joining the Hunting Division."

"If you don’t have such aspirations and just want to live a stable life, doing your part for the team in exchange for food and shelter, then the Logistics Division is the right choice for you."

"Of course, it’s not that the Logistics Division has no way to earn points; the opportunities are just far fewer than in the other divisions..."

His words helped most people make up their minds, but a few still had more questions.

"If we join the Logistics Division, can we transfer to the Hunting Division later? Or switch from the Hunting Division back to Logistics... is that allowed?"

"Yes," Chen Chong affirmed with a nod. "But there’s a condition. To prevent frequent transfers from disrupting management, there will be a time limit—say, half a month or a month. We’ll finalize the specific rules later."

"Everyone has a place where they belong. Some are skilled hunters, while others are better suited for logistics. I don’t expect all of you to find your perfect role immediately, but it’s important to recognize your own strengths and weaknesses after giving it a try."

The crowd let out another collective sigh of relief.

But Chen Chong’s next words made everyone’s eyes light up.

"I can also make you this promise: if a member of the Hunting Division is injured on a high-risk hunt and can’t work, the team will cover all medical expenses. You will also receive a stipend of points during your recovery."

"If you end up permanently disabled, you can transfer directly to the Logistics Division. The team will never abandon you. We will find you a suitable, less demanding job."

Hearing this, a warmth spread through the hearts of the crowd.

They had thought Chen Chong was cold and unfeeling and were initially apprehensive about their new leader.

Only now did they realize he was actually so considerate...

Many of the young men were filled with admiration.

Some of the young women, looking at Chen Chong’s handsome face, were practically swooning on the spot...

"These divisions are just the broad framework. There will be more detailed subdivisions to follow."

Chen Chong continued, "The Combat Division will be under my direct command and won’t be subdivided. However, the Logistics and Hunting Divisions will each be split into smaller squads of about ten people."

"For example, the Logistics Division will have specialized squads: an Information & Records Squad, a Traditional Medicine Squad, a Meat Curing Squad, a Farming & Botany Squad, a Livestock & Poultry Squad, and a Stadium Security Squad, among others. Their responsibilities should be clear from their names."

"The Hunting Division won’t be as finely specialized, but its squads will head into the Primitive Jungle in different directions, operating in various environments to hunt for food and search for resources..."

"As for forming these squads, I have no objection to friends sticking together. I know that apart from the few who joined alone or in pairs, most of you joined as complete small or medium-sized groups. You already know each other."

"Therefore, you can register with Zhong Fang ahead of time to form your own squads."

"But let me give you a word of warning. Just because I’m allowing friends to form squads doesn’t mean you can slack off."

"Your earnings will be directly tied to your points. Meet your quota, and you’ll not only get to keep a portion of your haul but also receive bonus points."

"But if you fail to meet your quota, you will not only have to turn over everything you’ve gathered but will also face penalties. So, I urge you to consider this seriously."

"As for the specific duties of each squad and the exchange rates for resources and points, I will discuss it with the core members and give you all an answer within a day..."

The crowd in the stadium was once again taken aback.

They hadn’t expected the team’s rules to be so detailed; even the squad and point systems were this comprehensive.

Beyond their shock, however, was a deep sense of understanding.

After all, a team without rules is like a pile of loose sand, ready to collapse at any moment.

Reasonable rules and structure, on the other hand, are the very foundation of a stable team.

Clearly, the rules Chen Chong established were both practical and gave everyone a sense of hope. They were flawless.

This was nothing like the other makeshift groups at the university, which looked like they could fall apart and scatter at any moment...

"That covers the division of labor and personnel. The system of rewards and punishments is also simple."

"If your daily haul doesn’t meet the mission standard, the team won’t kick you out directly, but we will deduct points, and you won’t be able to claim your share of the team’s distributed resources."

"If this continues, while you won’t be kicked out, the resources you receive will be minimal. The scavenging areas you get assigned will also be the most dangerous and least fruitful."

"Our team operates on a pyramid structure. The more capable you are and the more you contribute, the better the resources you’ll receive—from basic necessities like food and shelter to having first pick of scavenging zones."

"As for rewards, the rule is clear: once you have enough points, you can exchange them for any supplies the team possesses, including food, daily necessities, and products from our farming and livestock operations."

"If you earn enough points, you can even exchange them for what you desire most: the meat of Extraordinary Creatures and Ability Cards..."

At the mention of Extraordinary matters, everyone’s excitement surged.

Their eyes gleamed, as if they couldn’t wait to rush out and start contributing to the team that very second...

"Also, any Ability Cards you find on your own do not need to be turned in to the team. You can keep them for yourselves."

"However, the team will post buyback requests. For example, for construction-type Cards. If you’re willing to trade them, you can get a massive amount of points to exchange for other supplies. If you’re not willing, the team will never force you."

"In short, our team operates on a simple principle: contribution determines status, and contribution determines resources. As long as you contribute enough, everything the team has is within your reach."

These words instantly ignited the crowd’s passion, sending them into a frenzy.

They had originally thought Chen Chong’s promises in the square were just empty words and that joining his team was a huge gamble. They never expected the benefits to be this generous.

This leader was clearly cold on the outside but warm on the inside—imposing to outsiders, but incredibly generous to his own people.

And his generosity was built upon a foundation of reasonable rules, not baseless indulgence.

In that moment, everyone felt that after this sudden transmigration, joining Chen Chong’s team was the best decision they had ever made.

And for the first time, their hearts were filled with an unprecedented hope for the future....
