Pretending To Be A Boss

Tang Xian had actually made plans on how to deal with a large amount of Soul Crystal Mines in the future.

Now, with a business opportunity in hand, selling contraband in the black market could only solve a temporary need. Sooner or later, he would have to register as a hunter at the mission department.

Therefore, without much hesitation, after discovering that Dong Sanbao's shop was sealed off, he immediately made another decision.

He went to the mission department to register as a mine hunter.

However, this matter did indeed require careful consideration for Tang Xian. He did not go straight to the mission department, but returned to his residence first.

Very few things would make Tang Xian ponder for a long time.

He could often grasp the essence of a problem at once.

How to keep his reputation from rising too quickly wasn't a difficult issue, Tang Xian had already thought of a solution.

If he, as a solitary person, completed the mining area creature: Elite-level boss Cerberus hunting, it would attract a lot of attention.

But if it was changed to a squad, although it would still be astonishing, it would be a lot more reasonable.

Tang Xian planned to form a squad.

There was a bit of striking while the iron was hot in this, as not long ago, he and Shang Lu had established a special trade organization.

It was the only historical case of humans doing business with mining area creatures.

Now that the company was set up, forming a team wouldn't be that strange.

The real challenge lay in the team members.

He could conjure things from thin air, but in the future, Tang Xian did plan to recruit a few teammates.

Choosing teammates turned out to be a difficult problem for Tang Xian.

His classmates weren't suitable, most of them now held high positions of authority, with Shang Lu, who was on the fourth layer, being one of the less successful ones.

These people had access to excellent resources and naturally could not be dragged into the mines to risk their lives.

"I still need to find someone from the existing hunters."

Tang Xian opened up the hunter rankings, a list that was updated in real-time.

Upon opening the list, the first name that caught his eye was the legendary assassin Akasi.

This Huaxia individual with an un-Huaxia-like name, was currently the strongest among all known Huaxia hunters.

He was also one of the historically rare ten-talented Chosen Ones.

Akasi didn't have his own team and always acted alone.

His power, it was said, was already capable of facing perfect-level boss creatures alone.

It could be said that Akasi had the power of an entire army and was a one-man boss.

The military wanted to recruit him, as did various fortresses, and even foreign fortress governments.

Unfortunately, this man's whereabouts were too elusive.

And he spent most of his time in the mining area.

After careful thought, Tang Xian realized that recruiting Akasi would be difficult, especially since he had no idea where this top hunter was.

The information was still too scant.

He then looked down the list. The second and third ranked hunters already had teams, the fourth was a lone wolf, and those ranked fifth and ninth also had teams.

The lone wolves at the front end of the list had very little information available.

Tang Xian believed that as long as he could meet these people, he would be able to see their panel data and come up with corresponding recruitment methods.

The problem was that he couldn't bump into these people himself.

According to the writing of bottom-tier web novels, the people on these lists were all targets for the main character to show off and slap in the face.

But Tang Xian didn't agree with that.

He thought of them as good employees.

He just needed to figure out a way to meet these employees.

He dismissed those who were already in teams and decided to observe a few others who were teamless a bit longer.

"It seems I have to pick some seed players. The well-known ones are hard to meet, and even if I want to release a mission, I couldn't afford these people."

In fact, Tang Xian hadn't intended to recruit teammates directly. He pulled out the hunter rankings just as a warm-up.

His memory was excellent; he memorized everyone on the ranking from the first to the one thousand seven hundredth after just one glance.

He took a special look at the other introductions of a few people he was particularly fond of.

A team should have an eye, or a scout, four combat members, and one healer.

Tang Xian believed that when it came to being a scout, there was nobody better than him in the world.

Therefore, the other members obviously had to be of somewhat higher quality and, under his command, would at least be able to deal with Perfect-level creatures, including bosses.

...

...

The next morning, Dong Ran arrived.

Tang Xian was not surprised; as long as she followed his advice, Li Xiaoyu would certainly continue to send Dong Ran to follow him.

However, Dong Ran had already become a spy within their ranks.

"You've come at the right time. Come with me to the second level."

"Why are we going to the second level?"

Dong Ran was used to Tang Xian's decisive actions.

Tang Xian took out a Soul Crystal Mine and said, "The black market on the lower level was sealed off, coincidentally the one I trusted, so there's no helping it, I'm planning to register a hunter team."

"A team? But Tang, you're just one person... A team needs six people."

"Your identity card should have military privileges, right?"

"Hmm... Everyone in the Li family, even the peripheral personnel, is considered part of the regular military forces."

"According to the military's confidentiality agreement, a team formed by military personnel on their own does not need to register their identity information; they only need to leave code names."

Dong Ran finally understood why Tang had waited for her.

She then exclaimed,

"Wait, Tang, you mean... I'm also a member of your team?"

"You have four gifts, and your combat ability is not bad; at least you react quickly. Although you're a bit slow-witted, you have a large chest. Research shows that having girls like you as teammates can boost the male team members' statistics in all aspects."

Dong Ran's face turned red. Tang Xian's words were naturally meant to tease her.

"Using your military status, you'll be responsible for creating the team. Just leave my name for the team leader; as for the other four members, let's conjure them out of thin air."

Dong Ran nodded; she felt a little excited about being pulled into Tang Xian's team.

But if the second Miss found out, would she be unhappy?

It didn't matter, Tang seemed to be the second Miss's bane, he was so smart, he must have thought of this as well.

An elated Dong Ran said,

"So, what role will I play on the team?"

"You'll be the fourth combat member. The other three combat members naturally have to be stronger than you."

"So, Tang, you're the scout?"

"Mhm."

"Who has ever heard of a scout as team leader?"

In a team, the scout was usually responsible for gathering intelligence and surveying the terrain, or studying the weather; simply put, they were the clerical staff.

While this role might seem important, scouts were often not well-regarded; they had the lowest status in a team.

Because they lacked combat power.

Tang Xian could understand Dong Ran's thoughts but did not care in the slightest, saying,

"There are teams like that now."

Dong Ran still found it somewhat unbelievable.

The team leader was generally the strongest on the team. If a scout were the leader, who would accept that?

Thinking about the peculiar information that flooded his mind after hunting the hellhound, Tang Xian said,

"Scouts aren't strong because many teams' scouts don't look far enough. I am different."

"I can see through everything."
