Chapter 252: Chapter 156: Perfecting the Rules! Pros and Cons of the Logistics and Hunting Groups! A Leader’s Responsibility

Inside the venue, more than four hundred people were scattered about.

They gathered in groups of four or five, some even as large as twenty or thirty, seemingly discussing something.

Several members in charge of registration sat at the top of the stairs. As students finished their discussions and approached in groups, all sorts of information was recorded in the notebooks on the table...

"The five of you were a team before, and you all want to join the Hunting Group as a small team, right? Okay, I’ve got it down!"

"Want to join the Logistics Group? You can, but whether you’ll be assigned to the information station, the clinic, or work inside the venue will depend on Brother Chong and the others’ arrangements."

"You want to join the Hunting Group too? That’s not a problem, but team sizes are limited to about ten people. There are almost thirty of you, so you’ll have to be split into three teams. And just so you know, you might end up competing with each other in the future!"

"Another group for the Hunting Group, huh? Looks like everyone wants to earn more points to exchange for resources. Alright, I’ve got you down. Even though there are only three of you, we’ll arrange for other people to form a team with you later. Go rest on the side for now."

"What? The Combat Group? Buddy, were you dozing off just now? Didn’t you hear Brother Chong say this group has strict requirements? Don’t even think about it. If you’re lucky enough to become a Transcendent in the future, maybe then you’ll have a chance."

"Everyone, pick up the pace. Although Brother Chong and the others haven’t set a time limit, we can’t spend all day letting you consider which group to join and who to team up with. Please try to decide quickly. Let’s aim to finish within an hour..."

...

In the second-floor conference room.

Chen Chong, Xu Jun, Wang Biao, Jia Wen, Qi Zhen, Zhang Meng, Huang Mao, Ning Yu, and Zhong Fang were gathered around a table.

The team’s basic rules, benefits, and structure had already been announced. Down below, they were now gathering all the members’ grouping preferences. ℯℯ𝘭.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Chong and the others planned to discuss more detailed rules.

For example, the team’s point system, group structure, and resource allocation...

After all, the rules announced earlier were just a rough framework. Many details still needed to be ironed out.

Although it wasn’t possible to sort everything out in just one or two hours, they had to ensure the team could run smoothly in its initial phase.

It was the first time forming a team of several hundred people; no one could guarantee that the rules would be perfect from the start.

They would have to identify and fix problems as they went, gradually supplementing and correcting the rules to perfect them...

As core members, everyone present offered their own ideas during the hour-long discussion.

Aside from Jia Wen, Zhang Meng, and Zhong Fang—the three who spoke the most and debated most fiercely—even the less talkative Wang Biao and Ning Yu voiced their own suggestions.

Chen Chong, who held the final decision-making power, listened quietly to everyone from beginning to end, gathering each person’s thoughts bit by bit.

Of course, Xu Jun and Huang Mao also spoke up a few times, but they were selectively ignored by the others...

As the discussion grew more intense, ideas and suggestions were constantly being put forward. In the end, Chen Chong collected all the useful ideas and refined the team’s initial rules.

First was the matter of points, which would function as the team’s currency.

Completing missions, turning in supplies, contributing Cards, and even participating in various special events could all earn points, which could then be used to exchange for resources from the team warehouse and Extraordinary items.

Of course, it wasn’t realistic to hammer out the finer details, like how many points each item should cost, in such a short time.

After all, the warehouse held countless items, from toothbrushes, tissues, and instant noodles, to live farm animals and chunks of Blood-tooth Python meat. There were at least a hundred different odds and ends.

Each item would have a different point value. They had to ensure the cost for basic items wasn’t too outrageous, while rare items couldn’t be too easy to obtain.

Otherwise, if members saw that they couldn’t even exchange for a single item after working themselves to the bone for a few days, they’d figure it was better to just slack off.

So after Chen Chong provided a rough framework—keeping instant noodles under 10 points and a pound of Blood-tooth Python meat over 100 points—he handed the task of setting the point values for other items to Zhong Fang.

They were the ones who had set up the intelligence tiers and resource exchange rates at the information exchange point, so Chen Chong had full confidence in Zhong Fang’s ability to handle these details.

The task of determining how points could be earned was also given to him.

But Chen Chong provided a rough outline here as well. For example, turning in a pound of ordinary wild vegetables or fruits would only earn under 10 points.

As for meat, whether it was fish, frogs, or birds, a dead one would be worth over 10 points, while a live one that the team could raise and breed would be worth over 20.

For wild chickens, wild ducks, or even medium to large-sized live animals, the points would be even higher, ranging from 100 to 1,000.

The points earned for turning in supplies needed to be balanced with the points required to redeem items from the warehouse.

Items couldn’t cost a huge number of points if earning those points was too difficult.

It was just like having wages that are too low while the cost of living is too high; it would severely dampen everyone’s motivation to work.

Only when the two were balanced and reasonable could they motivate members to contribute to the team and ensure its smooth operation...

The Combat Group, Logistics Group, and Hunting Group all had their own responsibilities and daily mission quotas.

Completion would be rewarded with points, while failure would result in a deduction of points.

Of course, the Combat Group was special. It was composed of core members, and its actions were arranged entirely by Chen Chong.

For people like Xu Jun, Wang Biao, and Qi Zhen, points were completely unimportant.
