A qualified commander ensures every person is placed in the right position to maximize effectiveness.
However, Jiang Xianwu presented a challenge to any commander.
He had an unbelievable track record, but... he was really weak.
The method used by Guang Tongchen was actually a gamble, gambling that Zhou Baiyu was either useless or could create a miracle.
Zhou Baiyu, however, quite liked this arrangement:
"Is there a problem, could we be under surveillance?"
The one who answered was the kneeling mule soldier:
"Surveillance also requires a pre-payment. Moreover, the observer can't see the entire process, only a small part, unless... some special circumstances. Or an unreasonably high pre-payment is offered."
Ling Hansu happened to know about these special circumstances, which involved the observer being redeemed. He had seen Zhou's entire process.
But other observers weren't able to do that.
Zhou Baiyu understood.
