Survival Arena

When Chu Ge was running in the Team Cultivation Hall, a negotiation was taking place inside the Golden Ape Building.

Boss Jin sat at the head of the meeting round table, flanked by his trusted subordinates, while across from them sat a handsome young man in a red suit, his hair permed and slightly curly, fair-skinned, with a pair of silver-framed glasses.

He was Li Xuqing.

Behind Li Xuqing stood the Survivors from Qian Lake, all glaring at Boss Jin with animosity.

The young man who had fought Chu Ge that morning also stood behind Li Xuqing, his right face bandaged, with blood stains still visible on the gauze.

"Li Xuqing, what exactly do you want!"

Boss Jin tapped on the table and asked in a deep voice.

The Survivors in the meeting room all had injuries, more or less, clearly having just been through a major battle.

Even Gao Fei was bruised and battered.

With a smile that was not quite a smile, Li Xuqing said, "Is it not somewhat immoral for you to tear up the contract and withdraw your investment? Our dispute in the Survival Competition was reasonable; we had said before signing the contract that if we met in the Survival Competition, we would act accordingly. Why tear up the contract just because we wiped out your team?

Don't forget, it was one of your team members who struck first."

Boss Jin's face darkened as he said, "But did you have to go so far as to obliterate the entire team? To call it fair and just, and yet take advantage of us while we were battling with other Survival Teams, is nothing but kicking us when we're down!"

The atmosphere became extremely tense.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Survivors from both sides glared at each other with anger.

"Enough, stop arguing about the past. One man's meat is another man's poison; it's pointless. If you want to negotiate, show some sincerity. Let's renew the contract. To compensate you, I can give you three pieces of information in the future."

Li Xuqing waved his hand, causing Boss Jin's eyes to flicker.

The power on both sides was fairly equal; if they really came to blows, it would only result in mutual destruction.

"By the way, where is your African Lion, the one who injured my little brother? Why isn't he showing his face?"

Li Xuqing continued, raising his hand to point at a young man behind him with a facial injury.

Indignant, the young man retorted, "Where is that guy? Scared? So he's hiding now?"

Boss Jin was taken aback.

Secretary Xu leaned in and whispered in his ear.

Immediately, he burst into laughter, saying, "This young fellow can't even beat a high school student; he needs more practice. The African Lion is hurrying home for school, you have to understand."

High school student...

The young man's face turned ashen.

Li Xuqing's expression grew colder as he glared at the young man.

"Forget it, he was outclassed. Let's continue discussing the contract," Li Xuqing shook his head and said.

With a greatly improved mood, Boss Jin began to discuss the contract with him.

...

Inside the Team Cultivation Hall.

Xiao Poor Thing and Nangong stopped their workout, staring at Chu Ge with wide eyes and open mouths.

"How many laps did the boss run?"

Nangong swallowed hard before asking.

"I don't know, but definitely dozens," Xiao Poor Thing replied.

Chu Ge's speed was still impressive, his golden mane fluttering in the wind, quite majestic.

The running track inside the Team Cultivation Hall was four hundred meters long; ten laps equaled four kilometers.

Although Chu Ge felt some soreness in his limbs, he hadn't exhausted his Physical Strength yet and could continue running.

He decided to run until exhausted every day in order to break the threshold of one thousand Physical Strength points before the next team survival battle started.

Seeing him so diligent, Nangong and Xiao Poor Thing also resumed their training.

Nangong continued to work on his ability to take hits, allowing three robots to attack him without fighting back, using himself as a punching bag.

Xiao Poor Thing, on the other hand, was practicing her Speed.

As a Teddy dog wanting to survive, she thought running fast was the key.

Ideally, to be as quick as their team captain.

That evening, Gao Fei called Chu Ge to talk about the fight Chu Ge had with the Hyena youth, expressing his amazement.

It was said that Boss Jin was very impressed with Chu Ge and decided to add an extra ten thousand to Chu Ge's salary this month.

Naturally, Chu Ge was more than happy to accept.

With some time before he received his next paycheck, Chu Ge stayed home every day, busy with training.

That day.

Gu Tianjiao gathered everyone together.

"I've found a new feature, take a look," she said.

```

Gu Tianjiao swung her right claw, and a light screen appeared in front of them.

Chu Ge squinted at the screen and muttered, "Team recruitment?"

Team recruitment feature:

Entering this mode, a Survival Team can randomly recruit a Survivor as a teammate.

…

Nangong asked curiously, "Can we still recruit more people now?"

Suicide Squad had just been established, with a full quota of five members.

Gu Tianjiao said with a smile, "Yes, if the team is full and has not upgraded, and you still want to recruit more people, team recruitment is the only option. This feature is new. I study all the features of Survival Teams every day and discovered it last night."

"Other Survival Teams will discover it sooner or later. For most teams, they would definitely choose team recruitment, and the Survivors recruited can later be kicked out."

Chu Ge fell into thought.

Their team was still lacking an avian animal.

Birds in the sky could scout enemies' situations.

"Can we recruit an avian Survivor?" Chu Ge asked.

Gu Tianjiao shook her head and said, "We can only leave it to fate. After all, team recruitment doesn't require Survival Points. You might recruit a very strong Survivor who overshadows everyone else, or you could end up with a chicken that drags the team down. So, we need to consider it carefully. If we are going to recruit, we should do it early so we have time to integrate them into the team."

Wukong grinned and said, "I'll follow the leader's decision!"

"Seconded!"

"Me too!"

Nangong and Xiao Poor Thing followed suit in expressing their agreement.

Chu Ge began to weigh the pros and cons.

Gu Tianjiao looked at Wukong and asked, "How well have you learned Wing Chun Kung Fu? You are our trump card."

A chimpanzee skilled in martial arts could catch the enemy off guard in a survival battle.

"Not bad, I can easily take on four people by myself," Wukong said with a proud smile.

Nangong scoffed, "Your opponents won't be human."

Gu Tianjiao sized him up and asked, "And you? Have you bulked up? You're supposed to be our tank."

Nangong had already used the Growth Accelerator. He weighed two hundred pounds and was one meter three from head to rump, almost the size of a Giant Panda.

"I'm not boasting, but ten Wukongs couldn't shake me," Nangong replied provocatively, angering Wukong to the point of grinding his teeth.

Gu Tianjiao then turned to Xiao Poor Thing.

Xiao Poor Thing hadn't used the Growth Accelerator. Her teddy dog breed was a small breed, and Gu Tianjiao had also suggested she maintain her harmless appearance, to deliver an unexpected blow to the enemy.

"I've just exchanged for the lowest level of snake venom, and my speed can reach a hundred meters in five seconds," Xiao Poor Thing replied.

Gu Tianjiao nodded, seemingly satisfied.

At that moment.

Chu Ge pondered aloud, "The next fight is a team survival battle. Having an extra hand is always good, let's recruit."

Everyone nodded, with no objections.

"Recruit a Survivor," Chu Ge immediately looked up and said.

Then, a light screen appeared in front of him:

Would you like to recruit a new member for "Suicide Squad"?

Find your next read on empire

…

Chu Ge said, "Yes!"

As his voice fell, a vortex of air appeared above, quite spectacular.

The five members of Suicide Squad began to anticipate.

"Hope it's not a chicken," Wukong said expectantly.

With a boom!

A pillar of light burst from the whirl of air and landed beside them, whipping up a fierce wind that forced them to retreat.

From within the pillar of light came a deep, magnetic male voice: "The sky is vast, the field is wide, congratulations on recruiting a dragon!"

…

There were some mistakes in the last chapter. The protagonist had 2,000 Survival Points left, which has been corrected.

This is the third update!

Here's an additional update for sixteen thousand recommendations. Although the combined weekly recommendation votes from Qidian and QQ Reading haven't reached that yet, I feel it is close!
