Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land

Shock may be shock, but whether Chi Xi’s Four-star Mercenary title is inflated or not, her exemption from the Mercenary Branch and her unexpected attainment of Four-star status is already an ironclad fact.

This forces the "Second Generation Soldier" Mercenary Team to confront an extremely "severe" issue.

"According to Article 340 of the Mercenary Guild, a team with a three-star or higher mercenary can apply for a special promotion to become a Two-star Mercenary Group," Luo Lin’s mouth twitched like a cramp as she read this clause.

Having been in the Five Saints Mercenary Branch for over a decade, it was her first time encountering such an odd situation.

From a mercenary performance assessment perspective, the "Second Generation Soldier" Mercenary Team was about to be disbanded due to negative points, yet from the status of the registered mercenary members, it met the requirements to upgrade to a Two-star Mercenary Team.

Initially, the mercenary expert who drafted Article 340 certainly could not have imagined that, years later, such an extraordinarily bizarre team would appear in the Mercenary World. This clause did not specify any particular mercenary performance score.

In Luo Lin’s view, whether Yue Jinghua gets promoted or not, it doesn’t really matter. After all, if the team fails the performance assessment by the end of the year, even if it is Two-star, it will still be demoted or even disbanded.

However, in Yue Jinghua’s view, the significance of becoming a Two-star Mercenary Team is exactly the opposite; it is extremely important.

According to the rules, One-star Mercenary Groups can only take on Stone Rank mercenary tasks; if wishing to take on Two-star tasks, an additional pledge deposit and a recommender are needed.

If it is a Two-star Mercenary Group, then Shell Level tasks can be accepted, and with the deposit and a recommender in place, Pearl Level tasks can be embarked upon.

Even the most basic Yellow Pearl Level tasks in the Pearl Rank can yield scores of several points, thereby greatly increasing the chances of turning the situation around at the end of the year.

After listening to Luo Lin explain the situation, Yue Jinghua didn’t hesitate and immediately paid the required Dark Pills for the upgrade and completed the necessary procedures.

While writing down the name of the mercenary team, Yue Jinghua noticed that upgrading from One-star to Two-star Mercenary Team grants a one-time right to rename.

The awkward name "Second Generation Soldier" was an eyesore every time Yue Jinghua saw it. Previously, she hadn’t made the change due to the high cost of 10,000 Dark Pills required for a name change, but now that the opportunity had arisen, she couldn’t miss it.

After some consideration, Yue Jinghua wrote down "July" on the new mercenary record.

"July," among the twelve months, signifies bridging the past and ushering in the future.

Yue Jinghua believed that under her command, July Mercenary Team would wash away the disgrace of the previous negative scoring team, climb steadily, and one day, ascend to enter the legendary Geyue Mercenary Holy City as a collective team.

The other members of the team had no objections to Yue Jinghua’s decision.

July Mercenary Team, officially formed.

The new mercenary team record is as follows:

Team name: July Mercenary Team,

Members: Eight people, five official members, three reserve members.

Official member list:

Team Leader: Yue Jinghua, Two-star Mercenary.

Shalman: One-star Mercenary.

Chi Xi: Four-star Mercenary.

Feng Buhui: One-star Mercenary.

Qin Dongting: Two-star Mercenary.

During this time, Yue Jinghua also specifically set up a vice-captain position for Luo Pan Kong, as for how that kid will cause a ruckus after getting out of jail, that’s a story for another time.

Reserve member list: Weiwei, Ye Zi, Yue Chen.

Official formation date of the team: Canglong Continent History, **** year.

Location: Dragon War Empire, Five Saints Town.

Witnesses: Five Saints Branch receptionist, Luo Lin. Fiers.

After registration was completed, the gathered official members took an oath under the supervision of witness Luo Lin, completed the ceremony, and the July Mercenary Group was officially established.

Years later, when receptionist Luo Lin of the Five Saints Mercenary Branch handed over the handbook symbolizing her receptionist status to the new incoming receptionist, and when the newcomer asked her who among all the mercenaries she received left the deepest impression on her.

The elderly Luo Lin smiled and said: "The most memorable to me was not a single person, but a bizarre mercenary team made up of various odd characters. I have met countless people, but only that time, I was mistaken."

Mistaken, and not just by Luo Lin alone.

In the brief period that followed, the July Mercenary Team rose meteorically in the Mercenary World. From the day of its inception, the Canglong Continent Mercenary World entered a new era, a new era later called the "Golden Mercenary Era."

Having become a Two-star Mercenary Team, Luo Lin, as earlier agreed, removed the July Mercenary Team from the blacklist, allowing the team to accept team tasks.

"Before participating in the team tasks, I need to explain extra,"
