Jamie Smith was savoring his late-night meal, taking big bites of rice and beef ribs, while May Lee murmured enviously, "My combat strength is only a little over four hundred, not even a tenth of yours. It's so demoralizing!"
"You're a talented singer," Jamie Smith glanced at May Lee with a smile, "I've been training in martial arts since I was a child. There's a saying, 'Each to his own trade.'"
"Don't be smug, hurry up and eat. After dinner, I'll take you to meet a beautiful woman," May Lee said.
"Who is it?" Jamie Smith asked while still chewing.
"Our country's number one female archer, Emily Johnson!" May Lee replied, "I've already contacted her for you. If you show her your combat strength panel and invite her to join our team, there's a good chance she'll accept."
"You've already set it up?" Jamie Smith looked at his girlfriend with admiration; that was quick work.
"Hurry up and eat," May Lee urged.
"Okay," Jamie Smith quickly continued eating, as if each grain of rice contained power.
...
In the virtual world, in Emily Johnson's personal space.
"Hello, Emily Johnson," Jamie Smith stepped forward to shake hands.
"Gun Demon, you're too polite," Emily Johnson shook hands, smiling at May Lee, "Kitty, you said you'd find a team that would satisfy me."
Lee Kitty sat there, pointing at Jamie Smith: "I've brought the captain of the team!"
"Oh?" Emily Johnson looked curiously at Jamie Smith, "Gun Demon, are you that confident in inviting me?"
"I've heard from May that you're looking for strong teammates, someone who can compete with teams from all over the world in the future," Jamie Smith directly displayed his personal combat strength panel, "What do you think, is my strength enough?"
Emily Johnson looked at Jamie Smith's displayed personal combat strength panel, and she was somewhat stunned.
"Advanced Evolution Law? Third-order gun skills?" Emily Johnson was a bit dazed, her eyes towards Jamie Smith were somewhat fiery, "Jamie Smith, with your strength, as long as it's publicized! A bunch of experts will actively ask to join your team."
"I prefer teammates who share the same aspirations," Jamie Smith said, "My other three teammates are my close friends for many years! And I know your character, Emily Johnson, very well. You don't care about the huge signing bonuses from those big groups, and you're known for keeping your word. I need teammates like you. Are you willing to join my team?"
"An invitation from the Gun Demon, I'm more than happy to join," Emily Johnson smiled cheerfully, "By the way, why didn't you invite Lily Smith? His archery skills are no less than mine."
"He's already in a fixed team, no need to break up someone's team," Jamie Smith said, "And you're May's friend, I trust May's judgment."
"Kitty," Emily Johnson hugged May Lee, "You are really my lucky star."
"Hey, hey, it's too early to be happy," May Lee said, "We still need to meet the other three teammates, and there are some team matters that need to be settled."
"Hurry up and settle it," Emily Johnson immediately said.
A moment later...
Finn Brown, Quincy Shawn, and Chase Ron also arrived at Emily Johnson's personal space. Their arrival was like three different winds, bringing different atmospheres.
"Let me introduce, this is our team's archer, Emily Johnson," Jamie Smith said with a smile, his voice filled with pride.
The three were somewhat shocked, their eyes filled with awe for the strong.
"Jamie, are you serious?" Finn Brown looked at Jamie Smith, then at Emily Johnson, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Emily Johnson smiled at the three: "In the future, I will need you three to take care of me, to protect me, this little fragile archer, during the battle."
"Awesome, just awesome," Chase Ron looked at the scene in surprise, thumbs up, "Jamie, you're so awesome, you actually managed to invite the strongest goddess archer. Our team is going to make it big."
"Being able to join the team should be my honor," Emily Johnson said, "With the captain's strength, even if you randomly select four civilian players, you can make it big."
"Huh?"
Quincy Shawn, Finn Brown, and Chase Ron all looked at Jamie Smith, their eyes filled with expectation.
"The Fire Seed Cup competition is coming up soon, let's first understand everyone's current strength," Jamie Smith said calmly, "As the captain, I'll be the first to go public. But everyone remember... This is a team secret, don't spread it outside."
Saying that, Jamie Smith displayed his personal combat strength panel.

"Gun skills third order? Evolution law advanced?" Quincy Shawn blinked, his voice filled with shock, "Jamie Smith... Your leg, such a thick leg."
"Too awesome," Chase Ron was also shocked, his eyes filled with awe for the strong.
"Combat strength? I only have a little over two thousand," Finn Brown was a bit dazed, his voice filled with self-mockery, "Jamie, you're too fierce."
"My strength is not yet strong, there is still a gap with Master Ray Willow and Senior Ray Cloud," Jamie Smith said, his voice filled with modesty, "But my teammates are stronger than theirs! I believe that our team, if we join hands, has hope to win the championship of the Fire Seed Cup."
"Champion!" Emily Johnson, Quincy Shawn, Finn Brown, and Chase Ron's eyes all changed, their eyes filled with a desire for victory.
"Before, I thought it would be good to be in the top ten," Chase Ron couldn't help but mutter, his voice filled with excitement, "Now it seems that there is hope to compete for first place."
"It's just hope," Jamie Smith said, his voice filled with calmness, "Everyone don't get too complacent, after all, there are only three people, Master Ray Willow, Senior Ray Cloud, and Yvonne Archer, whose combat skills have reached the third order on the surface. But since I can break through, maybe others can break through too, we must be careful and cautious to go further."
"Listen to Jamie," Finn Brown immediately nodded, his eyes filled with determination.
"Everything Jamie Smith says is right," Quincy Shawn flattered, his voice filled with a joke.
"Why are you so good at flattering now, Quincy Shawn?" Chase Ron muttered, his eyes filled with teasing.
"If you reach the third order, I will also flatter you," Quincy Shawn pouted, his voice filled with unwillingness.
May Lee watched the team with a harmonious atmosphere and smiled: "According to the rules of the Fire Seed Cup competition, when registering, you need to submit the bonus distribution ratio."
"I don't care," Emily Johnson said, her eyes filled with indifference, she didn't care about the bonus.
Before the virtual world was opened, she was already a national idol, and she had already earned a lot of money. After the virtual world was opened, she became one of the top three live broadcast platforms, and the rewards were even more abundant. She didn't care about the competition bonus, she only cared about being able to compete with stronger and stronger opponents.
"Listen to Jamie's."
"Listen to Jamie Smith's."
Finn Brown, Quincy Shawn, and Chase Ron were all very straightforward, their voices filled with trust.
"Then let's share it equally," Jamie Smith said, his voice filled with fairness.
"No way," Emily Johnson, Finn Brown and the other four almost spoke at the same time, their voices filled with persistence.
Finn Brown stared at Jamie Smith: "Jamie, your strength is much higher than ours, one person is worth the sum of our four, if you share it equally... you are insulting us. We will not feel at ease."
"Let us feel more at ease," Quincy Shawn, Chase Ron also looked at Jamie Smith, their eyes filled with seriousness.
Jamie Smith hesitated for a moment, his eyes filled with contemplation.
In the team, the richest is naturally Emily Johnson, he and Finn Brown have also achieved in the past, and they are not short of money. Chase Ron and Quincy Shawn are much worse. Jamie Smith still wants to help his old friends.
"How about this, divide according to strength," May Lee said on the side, her voice filled with a suggestion, "Everyone else gets 16%, and the rest goes to Jamie."
Jamie Smith looked at his good friends, 16% and 20% are not much different, and he also has to consider the self-esteem of his good friends.
"We also need a substitute player," Jamie Smith said, his voice filled with consideration, "Take some more from me, give it to the substitute player."
"With the captain's strength, our team's substitute player is not important," Emily Johnson said, her voice filled with confidence, "You can carry the team by yourself, we don't need a substitute."
May Lee raised her hand hopefully on the side: "Can I take a name and be a substitute player?"
Jamie Smith, Finn Brown, Quincy Shawn, Chase Ron, and Wang all looked at May Lee, their eyes
filled with approval.
"A talented singer as a substitute player is also very face-saving," Finn Brown said, his voice filled with a joke.
"Sister-in-law as a substitute, it's our honor," Quincy Shawn teased, since he made money in the virtual world, there is no financial pressure, and his mother's illness is also better, Quincy Shawn has become much more cheerful.
"Then, May is the substitute player, gets 6%. You four are 16%, and I'll take 30%," Jamie Smith said, his voice filled with determination.
"How much you want to give to Kitty, we have no opinion," Emily Johnson smiled, her smile filled with tolerance.
Jamie Smith doesn't care.
In this era, strength is the foundation, the stronger the strength, the more opportunities to make money there are!
"No one has any objections, then it's settled," Jamie Smith nodded, his eyes filled with determination.
"Then the next item, when registering, you need to submit the team name," May Lee said, her voice filled with anticipation.
"Team name? Let's all think about it."
"Actually, we can accept corporate naming rights," May Lee said, her voice filled with a suggestion, "I can arrange for the team to contact, should be able to earn a naming fee. You can share it later."
"There's no need," Finn Brown looked at his teammates, shaking his head, his eyes filled with persistence, "I don't want to carry the names of those companies."
"Forget it," Jamie Smith also vetoed, his voice filled with determination, "Play well, advance one more place, the bonus will be much more. The championship bonus is even more."
May Lee nodded and said, "What should our team be named?"
"Team name..." Jamie Smith hesitated, his eyes filled with contemplation.
"Naming is the most painful, when I named my daughter, I thought for several months and still didn't come up with it," Emily Johnson shook her head, her voice filled with helplessness, "You guys think about it."
"How about using the name of my song?" May Lee blinked, her voice filled with anticipation, "For example, my most popular song - Pear Wood, how about that?"
"Pear Wood team?" Emily Johnson immediately liked it, her smile filled with joy, "I like this name, the song Pear Wood, I don't know how many times I've played it on repeat."
"Sister-in-law's song name, very stylish, I agree," Quincy Shawn immediately said, his voice filled with approval.
"Me too," Chase Ron deliberately said, his voice filled with a joke.
"Agree," Finn Brown immediately said, his voice filled with seriousness, "Sister-in-law is really amazing, she solved another problem for us."
May Lee smiled: "I'm taking advantage, when our team becomes popular, it will be known nationwide. Even in the future, it will be known worldwide... won't my songs be more popular?"
Jamie Smith nodded: "The most basic trivial matters of registration have been determined, there's nothing else, right?"
"We need a team manager to liaise with the virtual officials. I can take on it." May Lee said, her voice filled with confidence, "I can handle other small things, you can focus on the competition."
"By the way," Emily Johnson said, her voice filled with anticipation, "I promised all my fans that I would publicly announce my team at 8 o'clock tonight. Can our team make a public appearance at that time?"
Jamie Smith and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with tacit understanding.
"Okay, after all, the Fire Seed Cup competition is coming soon, this time it can be considered the team's first appearance before the competition," Jamie Smith nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.
In this virtual world, they will jointly write a legend. And this legend will start tonight.
